In an age long past.
The world was suffocating under the crushing grip of war.
Only the efforts of the odealistic avalonian empire were egough to bring the warm embrace of peace to the land and lead it toward a new age of prosperity.
??? : This noise I can almost feel it.
??? : The time has come.Let us go, Sigurd
Sol : Could it be ?
Sol : An Avalonian airship!? Man, one of these days! Just you wait!
- A strong, hot-headed youth from small kingdom of Lux. Dreams of riding an airship.
Glaive : Alway with your head in the cloids, Soi
- A kind-hearted young lad. Childhood pal of Sol, the two have a friendly rivalry.
Soi : looks like you're the one who needs to come back down to earth
Glaive : You were lucky today, Sol.
Diana : Just listen to the two of you! All worked up over nothing!
- A cheerful young woman. Has a loving older brother. Treats Sol like a kid.
Sol : Diana what are you doing all the way out here?
Glaive : Same thing as we are.
Sol : Huh?
Glaive : Don't play daft.
Sol : So you mean you're all here to--
Diana : Why else. you lunkhead! You know my brother's coming from his expedition.
Glaive : Shall we, than?
Sol : Keep an eye out for monsters, will ya ?
Diana : But aren't you going to protect us?
Sol : O-of course!
Diana : Well, with confidence like that, I'm sure that the Empire will be tripping over itself to recruit you!
Sol : You take that back.
Soldier : Slong off. No urchins allowed on my watch!
Sol : Who are you calling urchins! Besides, we've every right to b
as you
Aigis : Someone hasn't changed a bit
- A sowrdsman and Sol's teacher. Lost his perents at a young age. Brother of Diana.
Soldier : Ahh, here to greet the towe hero, are we ?
Aigis : I'm no hero.
Soldier : of course you are. Not a man for fifty miles would deny your skill with a sword.
Why, it's only a matter of time before Empire comes calling.
Aigis : You are too king
Sol : Did you hear that, Aigis? The Empire!
Diana : Hmph!
Sol : What's wrong with you, Diana?
Glaive : Let her be, Sol.
Sol : But--
Aigis : Is something troubling you, Sis?
Diana : I-it's nothing. Let's head back to town Everyone is waiting.
Aigis : Right.
Aigis : Good day, then.
Soldier : A good day to you, too, sir. And welcome back.
Lux
Soldier : Welcome home, Aigis.
Aigis :It's good to be back. I'm looking forward to spending some time with my family.
Soldier : I must first ask that you come with me to the castle. You have been summoned.
Aigis : By the king?
Diana : Aigis, do you think this is about--
Aigis : Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
Diana : ( I-I hope so... )
Sol : Ah ha!
Glaive : I believe our friend's had an epiphany.
Sol : Ha ha, Glaive. Remember what that soldier said about Aigis? "I't only a matter of time before the Empire comes calling"?
Diana : Shut up, Sol!
Sol : What? What did I say?
Sol : Aigis has always wanted to go to Avalon. Why can't we be excited for him?
Diana : I never said we couldn't!
Sol : What's with her?
Glave : If your head was any thicker, they could use it to fortify the castle walls.
Sol : Hey, whaddya mean by that!
Glave : Did you ever once stop to think what will happen to Diana if Aigis leaves for Avalon?
Sol : What will happen? I don't know... She'll go with him, maybe?
Glave : Which means? We'll never see her again.
Sol : Oh...
Sol : Right...I didn't think of that.
Glave : Obviously.
Glave : Maybe you should go talk to her.
Sol : Hey, Diana...
Diana : ...
Sol : I'm...I'm sorry
Diana : Don't worry about it.
Sol : But--
Diana : I said don't worry about it!
Glave : How'd it go
Sol :
Glave : Not surprising, considering the circumstances. We'd best leave her be.
Sol : Y-yeah.
Diana : Just leave me alone!
Diana : And don't even think of following me to the castle!
Sol : Diana! Wait! You know they won't let you through the gates.
Glave : Who said anything about going through the gates?
Castle Lux
Biggs : Not you again! How many time do I have to tell you--the Castle isn't a playground!
Sol : Told ya--there's no way we're getting in!
Glaive : Remember I said not to werry about gates?
Glaive : Follow me.
Sol : No way! How did you know about a hidden passage?
Glaive : Not all of us spend our day fooling around. Come on. Time's a-wasting.
In side Castle Lux
Glave : quick, hide!
King : Tell me, Aigis. How went your first journey ?
Aigis : I'm happy to say it was a fruitful one. But, Your Majesty...
King : Yes, my boy?
Aigis : Did your Majesty truly call m
to inquire about the expediton?
King : You always did have that marvelous sixth sense. Then let me get straight to the point. The oracles tell me that there is something amiss at Crystal Temple.
Aigis : Amiss, Your Grace?
King : Small though our kingdom is, we stand on equal footing with Avalon thanks to the Crystal. But that means there are many who seek its power for their own ends.
Aigis : With due respect, Lux is surrounded by dense forests, and the Temple is protected by mountains And with the Empire's new checkpoint, we should have nothing to fear.
Minister : You dere ignore the oracles' warnings?
Aigis : Of course not. With your leave, I will go investigate the issue right away.
King : I knew my trust in you was well placed, led.
Minister : Then you will need a squad of soldiers to accompany you.
Aigis : That will not be necessary.
Aigis : Play time's over. Come on out
Minister : What is the meaning of this!?
King : Aigis, explain yourself.
Aigis : These are my apprentices Sol and Glaive, as well as my sister, Diana.
King : You mean to say that you would bring them with you to Crystal Temple?
Aigis : If your Majesty allow it.
Sol : Awesome!
Glave : Sol, speak with reverence in the presence of His Majesty!
King : I shall grant your request, Aigis.
Minister : Your Majesty! You mean to send these untrained children in place of proven soldiers?
King : If our kingdom's top swordsman places his trust in them, then so shall I.
Minister : B-but--
King : Do not understimate the bonds of friendship. I have spoken.
Minister : Y-yes, Your Majesty.
Minister : Aigis and companions, I hereby charge you with the investigation of Crystal Temple. Remember to be on your guard, as the path through the northern cave is fraught with peril.
Sol : Yes, sir!
Aigis : Understood.
Entrance
Soldier : So His Majesty really sent you striplings off to Crystal Temple? Keep your eye out for danger along the way
Boss #1
Elgo : Who are you ?
Glave : Fight now, talk later.
Agis : Stay focused, everyone!
Lust must be no my side for you to come when you did.
Sol : Just who are you, pops?
Elgo : I am Elgo, a wandering prophet.
Glave : A peophet, you say? Sounds just like what a snake after the Crystal would say.
Elgo : More importantly, who are you, young ones?
Aigis : Luxians sent to examine the recent disturbances.
Elgo : So the Cystal is nearby. ( These people may just be the ones. )
Diano : Pardon?
Elgo : Nothing of concern, my child. I, too, cam
after sensing anomalies within the Crystal's aura.
Aigis : Let us travel together, than.
Elgo : I would be most grateful.
Aigis : This isn't about your safety. It's to keep a close eye on you.
Elgo : I understand.
Elgo joins your party!
Crystal
Sol : Nothin' seems out of place.
Aigis : Sir Elgo, you mentioned that you also perceived something was amiss?
Elgo : I did--but the soft reverberation have ceased.
Diana : So that means everything is fine now, r-right?
Glaive : we can only hope so.
Sol : What's goin' on?
Elgo : The Crystal!
Aigis : Get back!
Diana : I-I can hear it crying out!
Elgo : Is this beast the Crystal's guardian ?
Glaive : Wait! We're on your side!
Sol : What's it doin' to the Crystal!?
Elgo : No! This cannot be!
Diana : It's going to shatter!
Aigis : We've got to stop it!
lose...
Diana : T-the Crystal!
Sol : Noooooo!

Drunkard : Hey, Matoya! I'm paying good money for this dance!

Hoho! Looks like we'll be getting quite the spectacl

Pursuer : Finally given up, Jinnai?
Not on you life. You gentlemen will be enjoying the thrill of the hunt a little while longer.
Pursuer : That's what you think!

Glaive : The Crystal!
Diana : It's cracking!
?? Come
Aigis : More trouble on the way!
??? : Too easy.
Sol : Whaddya talkin' 'bout!?
??? : The crystal is ours.
Fate itself brought together those
whose lives were filled with hope and
those whose duty sent them from the
harsh north. As they locked eyes, the
Crystal shed forth an immense light that
filled the land, drowning everthing in silence.
And then, the world was sundered into light and darkness.
