Castle Blackscale - Cradle Tower

150 years have gone by so fast… |
Lilia |
I'm almost 450 now... I'm an old man. |
Lilia |
You know what's amazing? That after all my travels, there are STILL places I haven't been.
The world's a vast place. |
Lilia |
The world outside has changed considerably over the past century and a half. |
Lilia |
Lately, lots of countries have begun granting nocturnal tae travel permits. It's made these trips of mine a whole lot easier. |
Lilia |
Fewer people throw stones at me, too. The hostility between humans and fae is a thing of the distant past, in human history. |
Lilia |
No matter how hard we struggle, there's no stopping the advancement of their civilization. |
Lilia |
Eventually, we fae will become relics of the past... We'll be forgotten and regarded as creatures from storybooks. |
Lilia |
But you're going to be born and live on for an eternity. I don't want you to be relegated to the protagonist of a fairy tale. |
Lilia |
So you should come out of your cramped shell already, before it's too late. |
Lilia |
The outside world's got its fair share of unpleasantness, but it's bound to be more fun than staying in that egg. |
Lilia |
You know, Malleus... I've got a lot I want to show you once you're born. |
Sir Vanrouge, return to Dragonopolis at once.
His Highness's egg is experiencing a sharp drop in magic.
I fear he may return to the stars before the next full moon.
I implore you to visit with him in person…

Baur! |
|
Sir Vanrouge! I'm so glad you're back-HRK! |
|
What's this I hear about Malleus's egg being in danger?! |
|
Hrgh... Please calm down. I can't breathe with you gripping my neck... "cough, cough* |
|
How could you people let this happen?! |
|
By all rights, His Highness should have returned to the stars two centuries ago. |
|
It's a miracle that he's held on for as long as he has |
|
But...I fear the time is finally upon us. |
|
No...! Isn't there anything we can do?! |
|
Behold the tower for yourself, sir. |

|
What is happening? |
|
For the past three months, the egg has stopped accepting Lady Maleficia's magic entirely. |
|
The heartbeat inside has weakened. And this field has been up around the egg since last week. |
|
Anyone who approaches it gets repelled by intense lightning strikes. |
|
The doctors and royal guardsmen who tried wound up badly wounded. |

|
Her Majesty has tried to suppress it, but it's continued to put up firm resistance. |
|
If we're not careful, the egg and the slumbering prince inside could be destroyed. Hence, our
hands are tied. |
|
I hear crying… |
|
What? |
|
Don't you hear that voice? |
|
What voice? I only hear wind and lightning- |
|
Malleus! |
