A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - Friends From the Sky - Episode 2

With the monsters gone, the girl—who is named Elize—finally drops her guard. She introduces the party to her doll Teepo, and explains how they came to this world through a strange black void. Though the explanation leaves many unanswered questions, the group finds themselves unwilling to abandon the pair, inviting them to come along.

---

Katalina: Right. That should be the last of them.

(Captain)'s group helps the girl with the strange doll dispose of the enemies in the area.

Lyria: Are you all right?

Lyria calls out to the girl, who replies with a small nod.

???: ...

???: They don't seem like bad people, Elly!

???: I don't think so either, Teepo.

???: Thank you very much, all of you.

Lyria: Ha ha! You're welcome. But you're quite strong yourself, um...

???: Elize. My name is Elize Lutus.

Lyria: Nice to meet you, Elize. My name is Lyria, this is Katalina, and this is Vyrn.

Lyria: Lastly, this is (Captain), the captain of our band of skyfarers!

???: Lyria, Katalina, Vyrn, and (Captain)? Got it!

Vyrn: Uh huh...

???: I'm Teepo! Thanks for the help, everybody.

Lyria: So your name is... Teepo?

Vyrn: Come on, Lyria. Aren't there better questions you could be asking that thing?

Katalina: Settle down, Vyrn. I understand how you feel, but now isn't the time.

Katalina: Are you alone, Elize?

Teepo: How could Elly be alone? I'm right here!

Katalina: Good point. Sorry about that. But is it just you two? Do you have any family?

Elize: ...No.

Teepo: We were with Jude, but we got separated and then this weird black void showed up!

Elize: It was a kind of scary black gash that opened in the air.

Teepo: And we got sucked into it!

Teepo: We fell into this really dark place and I got separated from Elly.

Elize: Next thing I knew, I was in a forest I didn't know, Teepo wasn't there, and freaky people were trying to take me away!

Elize: I thought I'd never see you again, Teepo.

Teepo: It WAS scary, but you still did great, Elly!

Lyria: You sure did.

Elize: Aw, thanks.

As Lyria squeezes Elize's hand, the girl gives a rosy-cheeked smile.

Vyrn: A black void, huh? How the heck would falling into one of those bring you to a place like this?

Katalina: No clue. Oh, and Elize? Who's Jude?

Teepo: Jude is Elly's friend!

Elize: He must be worried. I need to find him.

Lyria: Well, if we're looking for someone, we should start by heading back to town.

Vyrn: Plus, if we stand around here gabbing much longer, we'll probably get monsters on our case again!

Elize: Er, is this not Windor?

The party arrives at the nearest town, where Elize observes her surroundings with a concerned expression.

Vyrn: Is Windor the name of a town?

Teepo: It's not a town, it's a country! The Kingdom of Windor!

Katalina: This is the Erste Empire. I've never heard of a country called Windor.

Elize: That can't be! We were supposed to be traveling with Jude in Windor.

Lyria: What could this mean?

Elize and Teepo claim to have been in a country called Windor.

They were on a journey to find a friend named Milla while also investigating something called the "Crystallization Anomaly."

Vyrn: Windor? Crystallization Anomaly? No idea what you're talking about.

Elize: Then where am I? And Jude...

Lyria: Oh, Elize...

1. I'm not sure what to do.
2. We need to help her.

Choose: I'm not sure what to do.

Vyrn: No kidding. I've got no clue what's going on.

Katalina: But we can't just leave her alone.

Lyria: Elize, let's think about where we can go from here.

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: We need to help her.

Lyria: I agree. We can't leave her alone!

Lyria: Elize, let's think about where we can go from here.

Continue 1

Elize: You mean you'll stay with me?

Lyria: You bet! Me, Vyrn, Katalina, and (Captain) too! We'll all stay together!

Elize: ...Really?

Teepo: Great! We're saved! Right, Elly?

Elize: Thank you, Lyria!

Lyria: No problem.

Vyrn: Now that that's settled, is someone finally going to ask the big question?

Teepo: About what?

Vyrn: About why the heck a doll is moving and talking!

Teepo: Oh, come now. You're just like me, right?

Vyrn: I'm not a doll! What in the skies are you, anyway!

Elize: Teepo is Teepo.

Vyrn: That doesn't explain anything!

Teepo: Gosh, I've never met a lizard that stressed out so much about the small stuff.

Vyrn: I'm not a lizard!

Elize: You're not?

Vyrn: Of course not! And we're not talking about me right now anyway!

Lyria: Calm down, Vyrn. Let's just say Teepo is Teepo and leave it at that.

Elize: That's right, Vyrn.

Kataline: I don't think you'd get an answer anyway, no matter how much you ask...

Teepo: I'm Elly's best friend, and that's all you need to know!

Lyria: That sounds nice. I want to be friends with you guys, too!

Elize: Do you mean that?

Lyria: Of course! Let's be friends!

Elize: Yes!

Teepo: Yaaaaay! Lyria's our friend! Way to go, Elly!

Vyrn: Heh. I really don't get Lyria's ability to just go with the flow like that.

Katalina: Well, it looks like she's enjoying herself, so I guess it's okay.

Thus it came to be that the party would know the company of Elize and Teepo for a short while.

A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - Friends From the Sky - Episode 2: Scene 2

(Captain)'s party suspects a primal beast may have been involved in Elize's situation. They then happen upon Sierokarte, who informs them that children with no families have been mysteriously disappearing. Elize declares that aiding the children comes before solving her own situation, and the party begins searching for the suspicious men they saw in the forest earlier.

---

Elize says she appeared here after being sucked into a black void.

Looking to gather information, the party tries asking people around town. However...

Lyria: No leads, huh?

Elize: Nope...

The party asks about Windor, Aenyr, Jude, Milla, the Crystallization Anomaly and the black void.

But no matter where they inquire, no one knows a thing.

Teepo: What'll we do if we never see Jude again?! Noooo!

Elize: Please don't say things like that, Teepo.

Teepo: Not to mention we haven't seen the Crystallization Anomaly over here at all.

Elize: Yeah, I'd like to tell Jude about that as soon as we can.

Katalina: I've been thinking, but...

Vyrn: What's up? That's quite the look you've got on your face.

Katalina: A black void being torn in mid-air and transporting someone to a place they don't know?

Katalina: There's no way a situation like this is normal. All that comes to mind is...

1. A primal beast?
2. Teepo?

Choose: A primal beast?

Vyrn: Makes sense. If the power of a primal beast is involved, it's possible!

Katalina: I know one primal beast that could bring about a phenomenon like this...

Go to "Continue 1"

Choose: Teepo?

Teepo: Me?!

Elize: Teepo had that power?!

Teepo: Did a new power awaken in me without me even realizing it?!

Vyrn: Stop it! That's obviously not the case!

Lyria: One possibility could be a primal beast.

Katalina: Indeed. If a primal beast's power is in play, even the most unfathomable of phenomena are fair game.

Katalina: I know one primal beast that could bring about a phenomenon like this...

Continue 1

Vyrn: No way... You mean Vacheron?

Lyria: The primal beast capable of interfering with space-time. But we defeated him already...

Teepo: Hey! Hey! What's a primal beast?

Elize: It sounds amazing. Is it like a Great Spirit?

Katalina: It's different from a spirit. Primal beasts were weapons used by the Astrals during the War.

Elize: Wait. The War? Astrals?

Teepo: I didn't get any of that!

Katalina: Apologies. Regardless, they're beings that possess incredible power.

Teepo: That's terrifying! We'll be eaten for sure!

Katalina: Eaten? Well, I don't know about that, but primal beasts are—

Sierokarte: Well, if it isn't (Captain)!

Lyria: Oh, Siero! Hello!

Sierokarte: Hello to you as well. I didn't know you were all here.

Vyrn: Hey! Maybe Siero might know something?

Sierokarte: Oh? Is something the matter?

Sierokarte: I see! That's quite the strange story, isn't it?

(Captain)'s party explains Elize's situation to Sierokarte.

Teepo: You're pretty in the know, right, Siero? Got any hot tips for us?

Elize: If you know anything, please tell us!

Sierokarte: Sorry, I have no idea. I'll look into it, though.

Vyrn: Well, let us know if you learn anything.

Sierokarte: In the meantime, do you think I could get you to take on a separate mission for me?

Vyrn: You've got a mission for us?

Sierokarte: Well, it's still under investigation, so mission might be the wrong word for it, but...

According to Sierokarte, children may have started to go missing in town.

Lyria: What do you mean they may have gone missing?

Sierokarte: The children in question live in the slums and don't have any family to begin with.

Sierokarte: So we aren't totally sure what's going on—and frankly, no one's kicked up much of a fuss.

Vyrn: Well, that gives me a minor case of the creeps.

Vyrn: If you get any more information, let us know.

Elize: Um...

Sierokarte: Understood!

Vyrn: All right, so I guess we'll—

Teepo: Everybody wait!

Vyrn: Ack! What's your problem!

Teepo: Quiet, you! Elly has something she wants to say!

Elize: I, um...

Lyria: What is it?

Elize: I want to help those kids.

Vyrn: Huh? But not only do we not have any leads, we need to hurry up and get you—

Teepo: Don't you feel sorry for them?!

Elize: Those kids might be out there somewhere! All lonely and scared...

Teepo: We've got to do something! Come on, (Captain)!

Lyria: Elize... Teepo...

Elize: (Captain), please! We're okay with waiting until after the kids are safe.

Vyrn: Well, if you're gonna go that far... Right, (Captain)?

Sierokarte: That'd be a huge help! Well, I leave it to you!

Katalina: So where do we start? Sierokarte said that there were hardly any leads, after all...

Vyrn: I guess we're back to gathering information the good old-fashioned way.

Elize: Wait.

Teepo: Elly has an idea!

Lyria: You do, Elize?

Elize: Well, I was thinking that those men who tried to take me away back in the forest might be behind this.

Katalina: That's... definitely possible.

Katalina: Why else would they take off so quickly after seeing us? And why only go after children with no families?

Katalina: It's because they want to avoid being found out.

Vyrn: Story checks out. What do you say we head to the forest?

Katalina: The place where we met Elize was... This way, I believe.

Monster: ...!

Elize: Eek!

Teepo: Oh no! Monsters!

Vyrn: Hang on... I've never seen ones like these before.

Monster: ...!

Teepo: We have!

Elize: This monster is weak against darkness!

Elize: Let's go, (Captain)!
