A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - A Song of Celadon Skies - Episode 1

At a local restaurant, (Captain)'s party encounters a young woman who calmly disposes of a boorish man.

Vyrn: Boy, I'm starving!

Lyria: Me too!

In search of a meal, the party stops by a large restaurant in a certain city.

Io: Pretty crowded—must be a popular place. I just hope the food is good.

???: Aw, come on! Get over here and talk to me!

???: P-please, sir! I can't!

Vyrn: Huh? What's with all the commotion?

Boorish Man: Aw, what's the harm in havin' a quick chat?

Waitress: I'm working right now!

Vyrn: Wow! That guy's seriously out of hand!

Lyria: That waitress seems really uncomfortable...

Waitress: N-No, I really can't. I...

Boorish Man: Quit yer whinin' and get over here already!

Waitress: Eeek!

The man seizes the girl's arm and begins to drag her away.

Io: This is getting out of hand. Shouldn't we do something?

1. Let's stop him.
2. We'll help after we eat.

Choose: Let's stop him.

Vyrn: Yeah! That dude's gettin' way too pushy for his own good.

Just as (Captain) nods and stands up, someone else steps between the man and the waitress.

Choose: We'll help after we eat.

Vyrn: Are you crazy? We can't sit down and enjoy a meal now!

Lyria: He's right, (Captain).

Just as (Captain) nods and stands up, someone else steps between the man and the waitress.

???: That's enough.

As her dignified voice rings out, the woman seizes the man's arm with a grip of steel.

Boorish Man: Oww! The hell are you doin'!

???: It takes a special kind of jerk to latch on to a woman. Now unhand her this instant.

Boorish Man: Shut yer trap and mind yer business unless you wanna take her place!

???: Sounds like a plan.

The woman begins to twist the man's arm.

Boorish Man: Oww! That huuurts!

Customer 1: Yeah! Teach him a lesson!

Customer 2: Give it up, you old fool!

Bombarded with voices of disapproval from all sides, the man finally relents.

Boorish Man: Dammit! You'll regret this!

???: Are you all right?

Waitress: Yes. Thank you so much!

???: I'm glad to hear that. Sorry to cause such a fuss. I'll be on my way.

Vyrn: Dang. That lady has some serious moves.

Lyria: Oh my gosh, she was super cool!

The party members all voice their approval for how the woman disposed of the boorish customer.

Finished with their meal, the party leaves the restaurant.

Lyria: Man, I'm stuffed. That was delicious!

Lyria: Huh?

Lyria: Hey, isn't that...

Vyrn: It's the lady that got rid of that jerk.

Io: Uh, guys? I think she's being tailed by some weirdos.

Vyrn: Wasn't that the man she embarrassed back in the restaurant?

Lyria: They just went into a back alley.

Vyrn: She might have a bit of a situation on her hands. Let's get over there, (Captain)!

A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - A Song of Celadon Skies - Episode 1: Scene 2

The party finds the woman surrounded by ruffians in a back alley. However, as the woman begins to sing, the thugs instantly fall into a deep sleep. She then introduces herself as Tear Grants, and explains that she was swallowed into a dark rift and transported to this world. After deciding to help her learn more about her situation, the party leads her to the Knickknack Shack.

Boorish Man: You made me look like quite the fool back there, girlie.

Thug: Heh. She's a real beauty, this one!

???: Looking for revenge? What a thoroughly pathetic bunch.

Boorish Man: Why don't you just quiet down and take the beating you've got comin'?

???: ...Laaaaa!

In a beautiful voice, the woman sings a melody that causes the men to sink to the ground.

Thug: Whassis... song... I'm fallin'... asleep...

Boorish Man: Can't... keep my eyes... open...

Vyrn: She just sang them to sleep!

Io: That's incredible! Do you think it's some kind of magic?

1. What a beautiful song.
2. What a beautiful woman.

Choose: What a beautiful song.

Lyria: It's amazing! I could sense a mysterious power behind it too.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: What a beautiful woman.

Lyria: S-she sure is pretty...

Io: Come on (Captain)! Don't go saying things that will get Lyria down in the dumps.

Lyria: What? No, you've got it all wrong!

???: Who's there!

Lyria: Um, hello.

Vyrn: You're amazing! Did you just put these guys to sleep with a song?

???: I did. I take it you were all at the restaurant earlier?

Vyrn: You bet! The name's Vyrn. This here's Lyria, and this is Io.

Lyria: And this is (Captain), captain of our crew of skyfarers.

???: My name is Tear. Tear Grants.

Tear: Skyfarers, was it? Can't say I'm familiar with the term. What exactly do you do?

Vyrn: Do you really not know what a skyfarer is?

Lyria: Well, see, skyfarers are people who form crews and fly around in airships.

Tear: Wait. You fly in...ships?

Io: How could someone be in Phantagrande and not know about skyfarers?

Tear: Is Phantagrande the name of this place?

Vyrn: Hey, are you all right? If you've got a problem, maybe we can help out.

Vyrn: (Captain) and I are actually pretty reliable, despite appearances.

Tear: Hmm...

Tear stares at (Captain) for a long moment.

Tear: I think I'm a long way from home. One never hears of skyfarers where I'm from.

Lyria: So you're lost? Is that it?

Io: Honestly, I'm not clear on how you got here in the first place.

Tear: You may not believe what I'm about to tell you, but...

Tear explains how she was swallowed by a black rift that seemed to have been torn in space.

Tear: It looked like the rift appeared out of thin air.

Lyria: A black rift, is it?

Vyrn: I've never heard of anything like that popping up out of the blue before.

Io: What do you say we try asking at the Knickknack Shack? We might be able to learn something.

Tear: Is that a place people go for information?

Vyrn: Something like that. It's run by an oddball, but you can't argue with the results!

Io: Shall we head over right away, then?

Tear: That would certainly help me out, but are you sure you can spare the time?

Vyrn: Don't sweat it! It's not like you know how to get there, am I right?

Tear: No, you're right. I thank you for the help.

Lyria: No problem. Let's go!
