A Peace of the Pie - Chapter 1: Bring Back Spring - Episode 1

Lily receives an order to return home. She is overjoyed, thinking that everyone at the palace know she has found spring. The crew gladly agrees to accompany her.

At the bow of the Grandcypher, a girl strains her eyes, staring intently into the skies ahead.

Lily: Hmm...

For hours she stares straight ahead, her fists clenched tightly shut.

Lily: Ah...

Finally the familiar outline of a certain island comes into view beyond a stretch of thick clouds. The girl cranes forward to see.

Lily: Yes!

Lily: That island there! That must be it! I'm sure! It's gotta be!

Lily: (Captain)! Lyria! It's my home! That's where I come from!

Lily is a young Crystalia girl.

She met the party while traveling the world alone, as mandated by Crystalia law.

Vyrn: Brrr... Doesn't it feel a bit chilly here, (Captain)?

Lyria: A-are you going to be okay? Will you be able to move in this cold?

Vyrn: What are you talking about? I ain't no cold-blooded rept—wait, are dragons technically reptiles?

Vyrn: A-anyway! It could be a primal beast for all we know, so let's find the source of this chill!

Lily: Sniff, sniff... What's this? Smells like... warmth?

Vyrn: Huh? I don't smell anything?

Vyrn: Hey, what are you doing? Get your nose away from (Captain)!

Lily: Sniff, sniff... This warm smell is coming from you.

Lily: It's the fragrant scent of spring. What I've been looking for all this time.

Lyria: Give (Captain) some space already! Any closer and—

Lily: Please, skyfarer! Take me with you!

Lily: I've been searching for so long. And now I'm sure. I'm sure you're the one to bring spring to me!

Lyria: Huh? What are you talking about?

Lyria: But you've only just met (Captain)...

Lily: I know I'm right because the coldness inside me has grown weaker.

Vyrn: Actually she's right. I don't feel it now. Even though you could feel her chill from thirty paces before.

Lily: Please, (Captain)! I need your help!

And from that point on, Lily joins the party, idolizing Lyria like an older sister and keeping everyone's spirits up with her sunny disposition.

Lily: Look! Look, Lyria!

Lyria: Oh right! Your island, with the, um...

Lily: The Ice Crystal Palace! I'll show you around as soon as we get there!

Lyria: Okay, great. Time for landing. I should get my things together!

Lily: I've already got my stuff packed up and ready to go!

Lyria: Good girl! And you're wearing a robe? Dressed up for the occasion, huh?

Vyrn: Haha, playing big sis again today, huh, Lyria? Everyone's saying it suits you so well!

Lyria: Vyrn! I-I'm just being my usual self...

Vyrn: Hahaha, you're not embarrassed, are you?

Lyria: Grrr...

Vyrn: You know, I thought you were kind of shy at first, but you've really settled in now, huh?

Vyrn: I still remember how you were so polite with (Captain) at first.

Lily: Well, I'm a skyfarer too now. So I guess (Captain) is my captain.

Lyria: Yeah, we're all good friends now!

Vyrn: I still can't quite believe it. I mean, I knew you were... quirky, but I never imagined you were some super-rare kind of skydweller!

Lily: Sorry. We promised the Snow Maiden not to talk about the Crystalia...

Vyrn: Ah, don't worry about it! Say, it's this maiden that ordered you back, right?

Lily: Yes. I heard it on the northerly wind. Her voice told me to hurry back.

Lily: I'm sure it's because I found spring... I mean, I found (Captain)!

Lyria: It was really brave of you to go on this quest all on your own! It must have been really hard!

Lily: Nah, it wasn't so bad! It was my mission after all.

Vyrn: Your mission, huh? Pretty impressive getting anywhere from this place. We're in the back of beyond here!

Vyrn: So what happens once you bring spring back? What do you need us to help with?

Lily: I'm, um... not sure!

Vyrn: Come on, you've got to have at least some idea.

Lily: Uhm... I think it was something along the lines of, uh... building bridges?

Vyrn: Sorry? Bridges? Sounds like it's a builder you need, not us. Is this palace of yours in need of maintenance or something?

Lyria: Oh, I'm sure everything will become clear once we get there. Right, (Captain)?

Vyrn: I guess so. Hey, we can be builders if we need to, right? There's nothing we can't handle!

Lily: Haha, great! Thanks!

Having revealed the unusual truth about herself to the party, Lily makes a sudden homecoming visit.

The party lands at the remote island in hopes of lending a hand in her mission.
