Happy Birthday Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). This cake? I baked it just for this occasion. Let's share it with everyone. Would you stop telling me to watch my step? I'm not that clumsy, you know. Wah! Why's it so slippery? Who put this rope here? Hah! It'll take more than that to bring me down! Ack! Now what? Is that a banana peel? I don't care what gets in my way. I'm not dropping this cake! Not to worry, (Captain)... I've protected this cake with my life! We're going to have the best party ever tonight!
2	✔	(Captain), happy birthday! As for your present... I apologize... I didn't have time to get anything ready. What? I don't have to worry? Of course I do! I owe you so much... The least I can do is get you a birthday present... I couldn't call myself a knight... I wouldn't be a good person if I didn't get you something! But all I can do now is... Wait... Is there something I can do for you now? Just for today, I'll do anything you ask of me. That will be my present to you! Just tell me what you want, (Captain)!
3	✔	(Captain), happy birthday. These are for you. I picked them out myself. I got you two things this year since last year I didn't get to give you anything. So basically this year you get double the trouble. Just so you know how much I appreciate you of course. What's inside? These are talismans from the motherland. They're blessed with protection magic to keep you safe from grave danger. It's true you know! I have some just like these on me at all times. That's what makes me so durable. Putting these on will make you as tough to take down as I am!
4	✔	Happy birthday, (Captain). This is from me. Go on, take it. What's inside, you ask? A collection of books, handpicked by me. Unfortunately, I haven't a clue as to what sort of books you usually read... Therefore, I've included books of all genres. Hm? What kind of books do I like? Isn't that obvious? Books about the eternal battle between good and evil! And, in the end, justice must always prevail! I've included a few books on that theme in the bundle. I really hope you like them, (Captain)...
5	✔	(Captain)! Happy birthday! I've got a special present lined up just for you, (Captain)! This time around, it's... A replica cannonlance! Check out how weighty it is! Though keep in mind it's a replica in appearance only. You can't actually fire it. But if you use it as a dumbbell, you might even become as strong as me! Assuming you've read up on the books about vanquishing evil that I gave you last year, you're only a stone's throw away from becoming invincible, (Captain)! All righty, time to start training! I'll show you how it works! The knights in the order would cry tears of joy at the chance to be trained by me! You're gonna love it, (Captain)!

Happy New Year Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Happy New Year, (Captain). This one's going to be as good as the last. Okay, next on the list is... Hm? Oh, I'm making sure I wish everyone a happy New Year today. Just one of my duties.
2	✔	(Captain), happy New Year! Do you want to go out for a walk? Decisions made on New Year's Day are the keys to a successful year, right? Just don't mention the Zeyen today, got it?
3	✔	(Captain), happy New Year. Looking forward to more time with you. Gah... This morning we're having ozoni? It's not that I hate it... But I can only recall stained memories... I... Long ago, I got mochi stuck in my throat... After that I just couldn't stomach it... But put your fears at ease. That won't happen again. I will chew properly. So stop looking at me with those eyes. Very well. I will try it. This mochi really stretches... Nom, nom... And the taste is quite good... Thank you. That was pretty tasty. Gah... Why those eyes? Choose: I'm glad you didn't choke. Humph. I too have grown. I don't make the same mistake twice!
4	✔	Hah! Hunh! Yah! Oh, it's you, (Captain). Happy New Year. What am I doing? Please, it's obvious. Pounding mochi! It's said that if you eat mochi on New Year's Day, you'll live long and well. And that's why I'm making mochi, but, um... It's a bit hard on my own. Well, no. Actually, some of the crew were helping out just now. But our timing wasn't the best, so I might have... With the mallet... N-no, you're wrong. I am not clumsy! Our timing was off—that's all! R-really! S-stop looking at me like that! Ugh. J-just finish me off! I'd rather die than be looked at like that!
5	✔	(Captain)! Happy New Year! I seem to be in good spirits? Hehe, that's because I finally got the hang of beating mochi! I learned there's a pair of special bracers for doing it, you see. Thanks to everyone helping me put them on, I was able to use the mallet without any issues! The resulting mochi is insanely soft! You should try some! This way! The flavor will knock you off your feet, promise! Whoa! Sorry, (Captain). Thanks for the save. Looks like I was almost the one off my feet instead...

Valentine's Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Can you spare a moment for me, (Captain)? Thing is, I made some chocolate. Would you like some? Since it's Valentine's Day, I wanted to give chocolate to the people who have looked out for me. And you fit the bill perfectly. This is my first time making chocolate though. It wasn't easy. I can't tell you how many times I messed up. Don't worry. Vyrn and my subordinates made sure the failures didn't go to waste. They assured me they tasted fine, so you can eat with confidence.
2	✔	Hi, (Captain). I made chocolate for you again. Please take it. I've turned a new leaf and this year my chocolates are amazing! I had to go through a lot of trial and error to make these. Hmm? The errors? It goes without saying, I made Vyrn and my subordinates eat them all. My errors couldn't go to waste. Everyone was so moved by my chocolates that they were all in tears saying, "We couldn't possibly eat any more!" I assure you, these treats are to die for.
3	✔	(Captain), I made chocolate this year too. Here you go. What? Why do I look worried? Well... This year no one would taste-test the chocolate I made... They said I made them eat too much last year... So I didn't get a chance to make many batches... I can vouch for it though. I tried it. But it's nothing like last year's... I'm sorry... This was supposed to be a special day... Next year I'll be sure to round up my underlings and make the best chocolate you have ever tasted. So forgive me this year. What? I don't have to try so hard? What are you rambling about! Of course I do. The others told me what this day stands for. Valentine's Day is when you express your feelings of gratitude with the fiercest chocolate you can prepare. It's a chocolate war... That is why I must prepare the best chocolate you receive.
4	✔	Grr. H-how! How could this happen! Oh, (Captain)! Perfect timing! Sorry, but I've been tangled up in these ribbons. Think you could help free me? Choose: What do you think you're doing? E-erm... I had some gifts to wrap, so I bought ribbon. Then, I was meaning to cut the ribbon down to size... But I slipped on a banana peel. And before I knew it, I was wrapped up like a caterpillar in a cocoon. Choose: Are you my present, Razia? N-no! I slipped and somehow got tangled up in ribbon! D-don't look at me with such pitying eyes! J-just finish me off! I'd rather be dead than looked at like that!
5	✔	Finally found you! This is yours, (Captain)! Huff... Huff... I didn't think it'd take so much time to find you. Why am I in such a rush, you ask? Remember how I got tangled up in ribbons when I tried wrapping last year's Valentine's present? I thought I'd forgo the wrapping and just give you the present directly this time around. Aah! The chocolate's melting! I should've expected that since I was holding it this whole time... Huh? You want to eat it like this? Well, I guess that's better than having it melt completely... But... This is so embarrassing that my face is turning beet red! Urgh, I'd rather die than have you look at me like that!
Gift		Mixed Chocolate Cake

White Day Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	Hey, (Captain), what do you have there? White Day chocolates? I see... Thank you. You returned the favor... Hehe... Wh-wh-what? I am not blushing! A-and it's not like I'm touched or anything either! I can't help it, okay? I've never gotten something like this from a friend before! My emotions got the best of me! Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than be looked upon with such pitiable eyes!
2	✔	What's the meaning of this present addressed to me! Hm? Oh right, it's White Day. Apologies. I completely forgot. You sure do hit the mark, (Captain). I'm proud you remembered that I was due chocolates... I can't even remember if I've put bullets in my lance gun or not... Wait! Why do you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes! Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than be looked upon with such pitiable eyes!
3	✔	These are... bullets for my cannonlance! (Captain), why would you do this for me? For what I gave you on Valentine's Day? ... Thank you... Thank you, (Captain)! I'll do... even better than before! Thank you so much, (Captain)!
4	✔	(Captain), thank you for the White Day gift. Speaking of. The bullets you gave me for my cannonlance last year... They're still in the box. N-no! I didn't forget about them! E-erm... It's 'cause they were from you! I didn't want to use them up! I-I'm telling the truth! So don't look at me like that!
5	✔	(Captain), that's an adorable package you have there. My... What a beautiful accessory. Ah, since I always stow your gifts, you chose something that I could wear? Thank you... But for me to put on something so beautiful as part of my regular attire seems— No, you specifically chose this gift so that I would wear it! And wear it, I shall! Hey, are you free to hang out with me later? After all, it'd be a waste if I didn't get to flash my accessory in town too.

Trick or Treat Cutscenes
#	Link	Text
1	✔	So today's Halloween... You're wondering if I have something on my mind? Actually, Halloween brings back painful memories. First there was the time the knights' captain jumped at me in an incredibly life-like monster costume, so I panicked and gave him a face full of bullets... Then there was the time a subordinate tried to trick me, and I stabbed him with my lance... Or when I spilled all the kids' candy, and they egged me when I had nothing to give them... Why did the higher-ups have to get so mad at me when I used my subordinates for target practice? They deserved it. And then there were the costumes three sizes too small. Talk about embarrassing. Just stupid stuff like that. Those were trying times... But the worst embarrassment I've ever suffered through was when my lance accidentally discharged in front of the king... I'd... prefer not to think about that one. No! I'm not clumsy! It was all just bad luck! So don't you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes! S-stop it! No more! Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than be looked upon with those eyes!
2	✔	Huff... (Captain)... It's nothing. I just went into town and were out of treats... So that's why I came back. So much for trick or treat... What? What do you mean if I don't have a treat... H-hey! Why are your hands out like that! What do you mean tickle or treat? No! Stop! I won't have this! Aaaaah!
3	✔	Trick or treat, (Captain)! Tch... Damn you... You've got candy ready and everything... I thought I would repay you for what you did to me last year... What? Now you're asking me? You underestimate the enemy, (Captain). This time I won't make the same mistake as last! I have all the can- Huh? Wait... Why aren't they... But I just had some... Oh! Right. I left the stash in my room. W-wait! (Captain)! Why are you grinning like that! What do you mean, if it's not a treat, then it's a trick? S-stop! I do have a treat! In my room! So... N-no! Don't come any closer! Not another step, (Captain)! Aaaaaaaah!
4	✔	All right! I've made so much—there's no way I can run out. Wait... Just to be safe, perhaps I should pack some extra candy in my pockets. Oh, (Captain)? What brings you to the kitchen? Wondering what all this is? It's candy I've made for Halloween! The humiliation I was made to feel last year, and the year before... It's still so clear in my mind! So I've determined that this year, I will leave no openings! This year... This year's Halloween, I will not fall to a single prank! Just you wait and see!
5	✔	Hm, I think I can fit some more inside... (Captain)? Whew, what a surprise. For a second, I thought children had come all the way here to trick-or-treat. What am I doing, you ask? Well, I had plenty of candy prepared last year, but it still wasn't enough. That's why I made myself a candy-blasting cannonlance this time around! I can store plenty of treats in its chamber; there's no way I'll run out this year! Hehehe... I can already picture the surprise on the children's faces when they see me shooting out candy! No prankster's gonna get the jump on me this year!

Happy Holidays Cutscenes

1	✔	Urgh! Why does it always turn out so gross? Gasp! Who's there? Oh, it's you, (Captain). What are you doing up so late? Oh, you were thirsty? O-okay, well, grab a drink and hurry back to your room. Huh? Um, I'm not up to anything... Wait! Don't come over here! What do you mean, what's that? Can't you tell it's a cake? I mean, it's a little soggy, but... No! Stop! Don't look at me with those pitiable eyes! Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than suffer this disgrace! Huh? Oh... S-sure, you can help me. Let's roll up our sleeves and bake the tastiest cake the crew's ever had! That's right! There's nothing the two of us can't accomplish when we work together!
2	✔	This went well! Hahaha! Have a look! This is what I can do! ...! Who is it? Oh, it's just you, (Captain). Why are you here so late? What? The sound of my voice woke you up? I see... You have my apologies. Huh? What was I doing? I'm making a cake! Look at it, (Captain)! It is the cake! Nothing like the disaster I made last year! Hahaha! How do you like that? I've gotten quite skilled at this. What? I should watch where I step? What are yo— O-Ouch... Oh no... My cake... Just when I finally made it right... Why do I always slip up when it matters the most! Don't you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes! Ungh, I wish I were dead! I'd rather embrace death than be so humiliated!
3	✔	???:Gah... Razia:Who is it! (Captain)? What am I doing? What does it look like I'm doing? I'm knitting socks. For what? It's obvious! So Santa can put a present in it! What do I want? Hm... I want bullets for my cannonlance. The bullets are custom order. I can't just buy them anywhere. I asked my servants to purchase them for me, but they all insist they can't be bought. So I need another way to get my goods! That's why I've decided to ask Santa for them instead. What? Why are you looking at me like that? S-stop! Don't you dare look at me with those pitiable eyes! Kill me! I'd rather be dead than looked at like that!
4	✔	Cannonlance, all loaded up. Spare bullets, check... All right. I think I'm good to go! Hm? Oh it's you, (Captain). Sorry, but I'm heading out for a bit. Apparently, the forest near here is a roost for giant birds. I heard it from one of the villagers earlier. And you know what today is, don't you? Yup, and what spells out holiday feast better than spit-roasted bird? So I'm off to hunt some drumsticks! Don't look so worried! I can handle a few birds on my own. I'll show you! Well then, (Captain). I'm off!
5	✔	Special flame bullets are locked and loaded... This time, I won't fail! Those birds are going to be in our bellies tonight! Ah! (Captain)? Did you... overhear what I just said? Oh... No, last year I just didn't expect the birds to be that big! But I've made special preparations this year! No more problems! So don't worry! All you've got to do is sit there and get hungry! I'll be right back with the biggest roast chicken you've ever seen!

A Goal Only Glimpsed

Razia receives a mission from the head of her order to infiltrate a temple where members of the Va'hen sect of Zeyen are gathering. The orders mention a potential sighting of Razia's missing father and sister. Razia disguises herself to enter the temple while the crew waits outside, but she falls down a flight of stairs in the course of her investigation, knocking herself out.

---

Razia: An infiltration mission, huh?

Standing on the deck of the Grandcypher, a grim-faced Razia reads a letter from the head of her order. The contents are as follows:

I have received intelligence that members of the Va'hen sect of Zeyen are gathering at a certain temple.

There are reports of two people resembling your father and younger sister, but their identities are as yet unconfirmed.

Your orders are to infiltrate the temple and investigate.

Should you encounter your father and sister, make apprehending them your highest priority.

If it proves impossible to take them alive, you must eliminate them.

I await news of your success.

Razia folds up the letter.

Razia: My father and sister may be at that temple...

Razia: Urgh, there's no time to waste. I have to talk to (Captain)!

Razia strides toward (Captain)'s quarters, jaw set.

Razia: (Captain), do you have a moment?

Vyrn: Hm? What's up, Scrappy? You look so serious.

Razia: Here. Read this.

Razia hands over the letter from her leader.

(Captain), Vyrn, and Lyria lean in to read it.

Vyrn: Hey, hold up. An infiltration mission?

Razia: This mission comes from the head of my order.

Razia not in crew

---

Razia is a knight with a deep hatred of the followers of Zeyen.

She joined (Captain)'s crew in order to pursue her vengeance upon an extremist sect of the Zeyen faith known as the Va'hen.

She also hopes to track down her father and sister, who belong to that sect.

Lyria: Um... It says your father and sister might be there...

Razia: Yes... That's the problem.

Razia's deep longing is clear in her eyes. She bows deeply to (Captain).

Razia: (Captain)! Will you take me there?

Razia: There's no proof my father and sister will be there. But there's a chance.

Razia: I need to talk to my father, face-to-face.

Razia: I have to know his reasons for betraying our country...

Razia: Why he left me behind... What his true intentions are...

Razia: Please, (Captain)!

1. There's no need to beg!
2. Did you forget our promise?

Choose: There's no need to beg!

Lyria: Y-yeah, that's right! Of course we'll help you!

Razia: You... will?

Lyria: Yes! We promised we'd help you find your family, remember?

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Did you forget our promise?

Razia: What promise?

Lyria: We promised we'd help you find your family, remember?

Continue 1

Razia: Oh...

Lyria: We're going to help you find your dad too!

Lyria: If we work together, there's nothing we can't do!

Razia: Oh right... I remember now.

Lyria: Yeah! So you don't have to bow your head when you ask!

Razia: Thank you. I'm in your debt.

Vyrn: All right then! Let's get goin'!

With that settled, the crew changes course toward the destination specified in the letter.

(Captain) and the others follow the map sent by the leader of Razia's order and arrive at the town in question.

Vyrn: So how are you gonna infiltrate this temple?

Razia: I'll disguise myself, then walk straight in the front door.

Vyrn: What! Are you sure that's a good idea?

Razia: Of course. Don't worry.

Lyria: Um... But... Won't they notice?

Razia: Most of the believers are simple citizens. The temple is always open so people can worship.

Razia: If I go in civilian clothing, they'll have no reason to suspect me.

Razia: The difficult part will come once I'm inside... But I'll deal with that when the time comes.

Vyrn: Doesn't... infiltration usually mean sneakin' in the back, all stealthy-like?

Razia: Usually, yes. That's what I've always done in the past...

Razia: But I've never once been successful.

Razia: I've lost count of how many trip wires, how many trapdoors, how many ill-placed twigs and pebbles have thrown themselves into my path.

Lyria: Ahaha... I-I see...

Vyrn: Yeah... Heh... That does kinda sound like you.

Razia: Rather than repeat past mistakes, I decided I would be better served entering by the front door in disguise.

Razia: It was the only solution I could devise.

Razia: There won't be any booby traps where worshippers might fall into them, and even if I trip over something, it shouldn't draw any suspicion.

Lyria: Ah... Ahaha... I get it now...

Lyria: Oh! Then should we disguise ourselves too?

Razia: No, I'll handle this alone. You should wait for me in town.

Vyrn: What are you talking about!

Lyria: Yeah! It's dangerous to go alone! Take us!

Razia: Infiltration is easier with fewer people. Leave this to me.

Vyrn: Listen, Scrappy... We really can't let you go it alone...

Lyria: Yeah... We'll worry!

(Captain) and the others furrow their brows, imagining the myriad ways their friend could bungle this operation.

Razia: I've completed quite a number of these missions, you know.

Razia: You really don't need to worry about me.

Razia: Besides, if I do find my family, I'd like to speak to them alone.

1. I understand.
2. Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Choose: I understand.

Razia: I know this is selfish of me, but thank you.

Lyria: Um... Please be careful... Okay?

Go to "Continue 2"

Choose: Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Razia: I'll do my best.

Continue 2

Razia: I have to go don my disguise. Will you wait for me here?

Vyrn: What're you gonna wear?

Razia: With a Zeyen temple in town, there must be shops here selling clothes meant for worship.

Razia slips into the crowd and is gone.

Vyrn: Hmm... Scrappy sure is taking her sweet time.

Lyria: Yes... I wonder why...

Razia: Please forgive my lateness. I had more trouble than I expected finding appropriate clothes.

The crew turns around to find Razia dressed in a neat and tidy outfit and carrying a large bag.

Vyrn: Wow! You look really different!

Lyria: Yes! And that outfit really suits you!

Razia: Haha, thank you. I suppose it was worth the time it took to put together.

Vyrn: Huh? You sound kinda different too.

Razia: Ahem. I always change my speech patterns to match my disguises.

Razia: A single verbal quirk could entirely change how one is perceived.

Vyrn: Huh.

Razia: Hehe, well? What do you think of my disguise expertise? Quite the chameleon, aren't I?

Lyria: Yes! I'm impressed!

Vyrn: Yeah... You seem more like some classy heiress than the Scrappy I'm used to.

Razia: Well, I was once nobility, so I suppose some of this comes naturally.

Lyria: Huh? You come from a noble family, Razia?

Razia: Yes... Although my father becoming a Va'hen spelled its ruin.

A melancholy expression crosses Razia's face at the reminder of her past.

Razia: Oh, before I forget. (Captain), could you hold onto my cannonlance for me?

Razia: I won't be able to smuggle something this large in under their noses.

(Captain) accepts the bag containing Razia's cannonlance.

Razia: Right then. I'm off!

Razia makes off toward the Zeyen temple alone.

As Razia predicted, she is able to enter the temple without drawing any unwanted attention.

Once inside, she looks for anyone who seems like they might belong to the Va'hen sect.

She moves from room to room, methodical in her search.

Razia: Are my father and sister really somewhere in this temple?

Razia: I don't even see anyone who looks like they might belong to that sect...
Hm?

Razia comes to a halt in front of one door.

A sign is hung on the door, reading: Danger—Structural deterioration. Staff only.

Razia: Hm... The area around the door seems in perfectly good repair.

Razia: Something's not right here. I'd better take a look.

Razia eases open the door. Beyond is a long flight of stairs leading down to a basement.

Razia: There's a basement? This must be what I'm looking for.

Razia: I can't think of a more likely place for the Va'hen to hide.

Razia: I'd better be even more careful...

Razia steps through the door.

But she misjudges the height of the first step and trips.

Razia: !

Razia pitches headfirst down the stairs.

Razia: Waaahhh!

Razia: Ungh!

At last she comes to a stop, face-planting into the wall at the foot of the stairs.

Razia: Argh... Uurrggh...

Razia: (My head is spinning... Can't... stay... awake...)

Razia: (Someone's coming... This is bad...)

Razia: (Is this... the end of the line?)

Darkness takes her before she can form another thought.

Back to top

I Pledge Myself Anew

Razia regains consciousness in a cell beneath the Zeyen temple, captured by a Va'hen monk. The monk attempts to cast a brainwashing spell to force her to join the Va'hen sect. Razia manages to use her own clumsiness to trick her captor and escapes with his keys to continue her investigation.

---

Razia: Uuurrgh...

Razia presses a hand to her throbbing head and gingerly pushes herself upright.

Razia: Is this... a prison cell? Am I still inside the temple?

Razia: I'd better be even more careful...

Razia: !

Razia: Waaahhh!

Razia: Ungh!

Razia: I must have been captured while I was passed out...

Razia: I've got to get out of here...

Razia: I'd rather embrace death than be left to the tender mercies of the Zeyen.

Footsteps approach Razia's cell. She peers warily out between the bars.

Monk: Humph. So you're awake.

Razia: Why you—Ahem. Who in the skies are you? And where am I?

Monk: I'll ask the questions here. Just who are you? More importantly, which country are you spying for?

Monk: What did you come snooping around to find?

Razia: Spying? I'll have you know I am a—Ahem.

Razia: I am no spy!

Razia: The temple was so beautiful, I was wandering around admiring the architecture and lost my way...

Razia: I was trying to get back to the entrance when I tripped and fell through that door...

Monk: You expect me to believe that you got lost inside the temple... And just happened to stumble through that door...

Monk: Then rolled down the stairs... struck your head, and lost consciousness. Is that what you're telling me?

Razia: Y-yes. I'm terribly embarrassed, but that's exactly what happened.

Monk: Do you take me for a fool! No one with that much dirt between their ears could possibly walk around upright!

Monk: If you're going to lie, put a little more effort into it!

Razia: Ungh, I wish I were dead!

Razia: I'd rather embrace death than suffer the contempt of a total stranger!

Monk: ...

Razia is beet red and on the verge of tears in her shame.

The monk looks at her in blank disbelief.

Monk: Don't tell me... that pitiful story is actually true?

Razia: Of course it is! Why would I make up something like that!

Monk: You... have a point.

Monk: I... I'm sorry. I just... never suspected anyone so fumble-footed could actually exist.

Razia: Urgh... How much more indignity must I suffer! Just kill me already, if you're going to!

Monk: All right, slow down! It seems you really aren't a spy.

Monk: I thought you were merely putting on an act in order to escape, but I suppose that isn't the case.

Monk: There can't be a country out there desperate enough to employ such an oaf as a spy.

Razia: Insult to injury...

Monk: Hm? What was that?

Razia: Oh, uh, nothing.

Razia: Erm... If I've allayed your suspicions, then may I leave?

Monk: I'm afraid not.

Razia: Wh-why?

Monk: We can't have you telling anyone that we're here.

Razia: What! What do you plan to do with me?

Monk: You'll have to join us—to become a member of the Va'hen sect.

Razia: N-no thank you! I'd rather die than throw in my lot with extremists like you!

Monk: You don't have a choice in the matter. That's how it has to be.

The monk draws a book from an inside pocket.

Razia: Wh-what are you plotting?

Monk: I will cast a spell to brainwash you.

Razia: Brainwash me!

Monk: That's right.

Monk: The spell inscribed in this grimoire has the power to forcibly rewrite people's thoughts.

Monk: It can thus ensure undying loyalty to the Va'hen sect...

Monk: Anyone ensorcelled by the power of this tome becomes a devoted follower of the sect, whether they will or no.

Monk: And once cast, there is no way to lift the enchantment.

Monk: The person's very consciousness is overwritten. They will know no other truth so long as they live!

Razia: S-stop! Please! Don't do it!

Razia throws herself at the door of her cell, rattling the bars for all she's worth.

Razia: Ungh... Just kill me! I'd rather embrace death than be brainwashed into joining you.

Razia: Anything would be better than being a pawn for you monsters who hurt innocent people!

Razia: I'm begging you! Just kill me instead!

Ignoring her desperate protests, the monk opens his grimoire.

Razia: Nooo!

Once more Razia flings herself at the cell door in a desperate attempt to stop the monk from casting his spell.

The door rattles loudly but holds firm.

Razia: Aaahhh!

Razia screams, backs up, and hurls herself forward one last time.

But her foot catches on the uneven tile...

And she plants her face in the floor instead.

Razia: Gyargh!

Razia: ...

Monk: ...

Razia's spectacular display of buffoonery leaves the monk speechless, his grimoire forgotten in his hand.

Monk: H-hey... Are you all right?

Razia: ...

Monk: Hey!

Razia doesn't so much as twitch no matter how loudly he calls.

Monk: Geez... Did she knock herself out?

Monk: That was one heck of a blow to the head. Could she be...

Monk: We can't use a dead pawn.

The monk closes his spellbook, unlocks the cell door, and steps inside.

Monk: Hey. You're not dead, are you?

The monk hunkers down and reaches out to check Razia's jugular pulse.

Razia's hand shoots up to grab his.

Monk: Wha!

Razia: Ha! Fool!

Razia yanks the monk toward her as she rears back, then snaps forward and delivers a skull-shattering headbutt.

Monk: Yargh!

Monk: Y-you... were un... conscious...

Razia: I take falls like that every day.

Razia: My brain can't be shaken that easily!

Monk: No one... could be that... clumsy...

The monk slumps to the floor, senseless.

Razia: That was close... I nearly wound up—

Razia: Well, what's important is that I didn't.

Razia leans over and roots through the monk's pockets until she finds his keys.

Razia: These keys ought to make my investigation a little easier.

Razia: Time to get back to it.

Razia slips out of the cell and begins to investigate the temple basement.

I Pledge Myself Anew: Scene 2

Razia discovers her father's journal and learns that he joined the Va'hen sect to gain their fabled power to alter history in order to resurrect his dead wife and Razia, whom he believes to be dead. Razia cries at the revelation that her father still loves her. She is ambushed as she attempts to leave, but the crew comes to the rescue.

---

Razia is investigating the basement of a Zeyen temple.

Her progress is slowed, however, by the number of monks patrolling the area.

Razia: Why is security so tight? What on earth are they hiding down here?

Razia: More importantly... Are my father and sister even here?

Razia: I suppose I just have to keep looking...

Razia approaches a nearby door and pulls out the key ring taken from her erstwhile captor.

Razia: Nobody move! Stay quiet and no one gets—

Razia: Oh. No one here, huh?

Razia: Looks like some sort of reception room... Nothing particularly suspicious about it.

Razia: On to the next room.

Razia presses her ear to another door.

Razia: Sounds like no one's inside.

Razia: These must be the monks' sleeping quarters. Nothing suspicious here either, by the looks of it.

Razia: No, wait. If this is the monks' room, there may be weapons of some sort.

Razia: I'd rather not go around unarmed like this, in case I run into anyone else.

Razia makes a more thorough search of the room.

Razia: Ugh, not a single sword...

Razia: Oh well. I'd better move on before one of them comes back.

Razia continues to evade the patrolling monks as she pursues her investigation.

But she finds no trace of her family, nor even a hint as to the Va'hen sect's objectives.

At last she comes upon a door more lavishly carved and decorated than all the others.

Razia: What intricate craftsmanship... This room must belong to a high-ranking member of the sect...

Razia: This is as likely a place as any to find some useful information.

She unlocks the door and slips inside.

Razia: Nobody move! Stay quiet and no one gets—

Razia: Ah. No one here either...

Razia: And it's so dusty... Seems like it hasn't seen any use recently.

Razia: All the better. If no one comes here, I can make a thorough search.

Razia: What's this? "Investigation Journal"?

There's a book on one shelf with "Investigation Journal" written on the spine. Razia pulls it out and flips it open.

Razia: This... This is my father's handwriting! I'd know it anywhere!

Razia's eyes widen as she scans the pages.

She devours what's written inside like a starving woman with a feast laid before her. It reads:

In the basement of this shrine, we finally found a clue to the legacy spoken of in Zeyen tradition... The power to alter the past.

We've delegated all routine tasks to our subordinates in order to set out for the location mentioned in the text we unearthed.

Soon. Soon we will hold in our hands the power to change history.

With it, we will reclaim the happiness we once had.

Those blissful times when we were united with my wife and Razia.

Razia looks up from the journal.

Razia: I knew he joined the Va'hen sect in order to be reunited with my mother...

Razia: He hopes to use the Va'hen legacy to change the past and bring her back...

Razia: So it's on my father's orders that the sect members have been converging at this temple.

She reads on.

Razia: Hm? This page...

Something grabs Razia's attention.

A page entitled, About My Daughter.

Razia: About me? What does it say?

Brow furrowed, she reads.

Razia: What must my daughter Razia be doing now? Is she even alive?

Razia: I suppose I must assume she has been put to death for my crimes.

Razia: My greatest regret, for which I can never atone...

Razia: Is the pain I have caused her by failing to bring her with me.

Razia: But I will see her again once I have changed the past.

Razia: I have to press onward. To recapture my family's past happiness...

Razia: To once again see their smiling faces...

Razia: No sacrifice is too great.

Razia closes the book, happiness and sadness warring across her face.

Razia: I knew he was thinking of my mother... But I never thought he'd assume I was dead too.

Razia: ...

Razia: So he didn't just abandon me and forget...

Razia: Even now, he still cares about me...

Razia: He's still thinking about what's best for me...

Razia: Oh, Father!

Razia clasps the journal to her chest as silent tears roll down her cheeks.

Razia: Well. I've discovered his goal as well as the reason for the Va'hen activity here.

Razia: I think my investigation is done. Time to make my escape!

Her father's journal under her arm, Razia heads for the temple entrance.

Somehow she manages to evade the monks once more.

Razia: Looks like the coast is clear. Now all I have to do is—

Monk: Sorry, but you're not going anywhere.

A group of monks emerge from the shadows.

They surround Razia in a flash.

Razia: An ambush, eh?

Razia grits her teeth as she contemplates the odds.

Monk: Give it up! You have no choice but to join us!

Razia: Never!

Razia: I'd rather embrace death than be brainwashed into joining your sect!

Monk: I'm sorry to hear that. I was hoping at least to spare your life.

Monk: But if you're so set on martyring yourself, we'll simply have to oblige you.

The monks draw their weapons and attack.

Razia: Urgh... So this is how it ends?

Before the monks can land a blow, a sudden gale sends them flying.

Razia: Wha! What just...

As Razia looks around in confusion, a familiar voice speaks.

1. Are you all right?

Choose: Are you all right?

Razia: (Captain)!

Razia turns to see (Captain) and the others sprinting toward her.

Razia: Did... Did you summon that wind?

Lyria: Y-yes. It looked like you were in trouble, so I used my powers.

Razia: I see. I'm in your debt.

Razia: But what are you all doing here? We agreed you would wait for me in town.

Lyria: Ahaha... Well... We were worried about you.

Vyrn: Yeah. So we thought we'd do a little sightseeing at the temple.

Lyria: So when we heard your voice, we came running.

Vyrn: So... You mind telling us just what's goin' on here?

Razia: These are members of the Va'hen sect.

Vyrn: Oh... You mean your—

Razia: That's right! My sworn enemies!

Monk: I don't know who you are, but now that you know our identities, none of you can be allowed to leave.

Monk: Besides, you dared to impede us in our duty.

Monk: That makes you the enemies of the Va'hen sect.

Monk: And as such, you all must die!

Razia: (Captain), have you still got my cannonlance?

(Captain) passes Razia the bag containing her trusty weapon.

She rounds on the monks, brandishing her cannonlance.

Razia: Well then! Do your worst, my sworn enemies!

Razia: I'll never let you get your way!

I Pledge Myself Anew: Scene 3

The crew defeats the monks and escapes from the temple. Razia explains to (Captain) and the others that she just missed meeting her family members. She then shares what she learned about her father. She renews her resolve to stop her father from traveling further down the path of darkness.

---

Razia, (Captain), and the others stand victorious over the fallen Va'hen monks.

Vyrn: Phew... Looks like we made it somehow.

Razia: Don't count your dragons before they're hatched.

In the distance they hear the footfalls of a large group of people.

The sound is rapidly increasing in volume.

Razia: The rest of the believers must have noticed something was amiss.

Vyrn: Aw, junk. Now what!

1. Let's beat feet!
2. Did you complete your mission?

Choose: Let's beat feet!

Razia: Agreed! We don't want to be here when they arrive!

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Did you complete your mission?

Razia: Yes! Let's be gone before they can surround us!

Continue 1

The crew makes a dash for the temple entrance.

Razia: The exit should be just ahead...

Razia: !
Stop!

Vyrn: What's the holdup, Scrappy? We gotta make like a tree, or else—

Razia: Look.

Razia points toward the entrance.

A throng of monks is gathered in front of it.

Razia: Ungh... They're a step ahead of us. They've sealed off the entrance!

As (Captain) and the crew wonder what to do, they hear their pursuers gaining on them.

Lyria: Oh no! The ones behind us are getting closer!

Vyrn: What's the plan? At this rate, they'll have us surrounded!

Razia: I know, I know! But what can we do...

Razia: Ugh, there's no other way! It's sink or swim!

Razia swings around and aims her cannonlance at the wall.

Vyrn: Hey... Whatcha doin' there, Scrappy?

Razia: I'm going to blow us a way out of here!

Vyrn: Huh? Are you serious!

Razia: Dead serious!

Razia squeezes the trigger.

The wall explodes in a hail of rock and plaster. As the dust settles, it reveals a hole large enough for them all to pass through.

On the other side, the crew can see the town.

Razia: All right! It worked!

Vyrn: You're outta your gourd, Scrappy. You can't go around using cannons instead of doorknobs.

Razia: Wh-what choice did we have? I couldn't think of anything else.

Razia: Besides, it worked! All's well that ends well!

Vyrn: Sigh...

Lyria: Ahaha...

Razia: This is no time for a performance review! Let's get out of here before the monks catch up with us!

Without another word, (Captain) and the others scramble out through the hole.

Vyrn: Pant... Wheeze...
Geez... We made it.

Razia: Yes, but we can't let down our guard. These people are nothing if not persistent.

Razia: We'd better leave the island with all haste.

Razia: Even they won't be able to follow us once we've taken to the skies.

Lyria: Huff... Puff...
R-right!

The crew makes it back to the Grandcypher and weighs anchor. The airship safely takes flight.

Vyrn: Phew... I guess we shook 'em. I'm really glad you're okay, Scrappy.

Lyria: Yes... I had butterflies in my stomach the whole time we were waiting for you.

Razia: My apologies for worrying you.

Vyrn: So... Hey. Did you find your family?

Razia: No... It seems we just missed each other.

Razia: But I found my father's journal detailing his own investigation.

Razia pulls out the journal and hugs it tightly to her chest.

Razia: He wrote about his feelings for me...

Razia: He still loves me.

Razia: He didn't mean to abandon me...

Lyria: ...

Razia: And that's exactly why I have to stop him.

Razia: As his daughter, I have a responsibility.

Razia: I have to keep him from going any further down this path, from committing any more crimes.

Razia: It's the best thing I can do for him.

Lyria: Um, Razia? Don't forget that we're here for you too! You're not in this alone.

Razia: I know, Lyria. Thank you.

Razia gives (Captain) and the others a gentle smile.

Razia: (I can understand my father's desire to be reunited with my mother.)

Razia: (But it doesn't give him the right to hurt others, or to sacrifice their happiness for ours.)

Razia: (No matter what, I will stop him. Even if I have to get my hands dirty to do it.)

Razia: (Nothing's going to stop me.)

Razia raises her gaze to the sky as she makes her silent vow.

She finally knows what her father was thinking all that time ago.

That truth has shone a ray of light into the revenge-darkened recesses of her heart.

Whether it will guide her to salvation, or to murkier depths of despair...

No one can say.
