A Peace of the Pie - Chapter 3: Rachis of Fire - Episode 4

(Captain) and company desperately plead their neutral status, but no one is willing to listen. Lily, a Crystalia, being among the crew only hastens the Souval plan for war.

---

Vyrn: Whew, we did it!

Lily: Sorry, I know we were supposed to stay hidden.

Lyria: It's okay. It's not your fault. Anyway let's get out of here quick.

Souval Vanguard: There! There they are!

After defeating the war beast, the party is suddenly surrounded by Souval who start closing in slowly.

Vyrn: Look, guys, listen up, okay? We're not here to fight! We don't want this!

Lyria: That's right. We came here to talk to you.

Souval Vanguard: Keep them surrounded! That little girl's a Crystalia. She's not using her freezing powers, but stay alert just in case.

Lily: Yes, um... Hello, Souval friends! I am the special envoy, Lily!

Souval Vanguard: Archers, take aim! Make sure you hit the mark!

Lily: Hello, I said! Hello! Please, I want the fighting to stop!

Lyria: Lily, no! Be careful!

Souval Vanguard: Fire!

Grueler: Wait.

Souval Vanguard: Grueler? Er, you heard him! Stand down, everyone.

Lily: Grueler? The new Souval chieftain?

Grueler: Hm, so you're a Crystalia, are you? And no ordinary one, I see.

Lyria: That was close. But their chieftain's so...

Vyrn: So intimidating? Tell me about it! But at least he's not a shoot first, talk later kind of guy.

Grueler says nothing. He just studies Lily and the party with a long, observant gaze.

Then he casts his eyes down for a moment before looking back at the party with a steely resolve.

Grueler: So... You've joined forces with the people, have you, Crystalia?

Lily: What? Joined forces?

Vyrn: Hey, quit jumping to conclusions! It's nothing like that, okay?

Lyria: We're just skyfarers. We only came here with Lily because—

Grueler: Bring in the core war beasts. She may be only a child, but we mustn't underestimate this Crystalia.

Souval Vanguard: Are you sure? I mean, can we afford to split our forces right now?

Grueler: It won't be a problem. In any case the threat has to be eliminated sooner or later.

Souval Vanguard: Yessir!

War Beast: Gwoooargh!

Vyrn: Whoa, they're bringing out the big guns now, huh?

Lyria: We can't run though. Or we'll never be able to explain what we're hoping to achieve.

Lily: Lyria, (Captain), please lend me a hand in this fight!
