A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - The Blue of His Eyes - Episode 1
Contracted by Sierokarte, (Captain)'s party sets out to settle a fraud case. Having caught the suspects, they also encounter a youth named Stahn in the process of being conned. He claims to come from a totally different world, and to be searching for a friend that came with him. Despite Stahn's sincerity, the party is dubious about his absurd story.
Lyria: Umm... So we just need to look for someone who matches this description, right?
Vyrn: Bingo! If the info we got from Siero is right, they should be in this town right now.
On a mission from the Knickknack Shack, the party is hot on the trail of the suspect in a fraud case.
Eugen: For now, let's hit up a place that seems like it might bring out a nastier crowd.
Vyrn: Got anywhere in mind?
Eugen: Somewhere with plenty of people. No swindling is going to get done without a sucker to take the bait, after all.
Vyrn: That's a tavern, yeah? There's bound to be tons of people and info in there. Let's head on in and—
Eugen: Whoa, hold up.
Eugen: Don't you think those fellas who just stepped out of the tavern match the ones we're looking for?
Lyria: Lemme see. The hairstyles... The shifty eyes... Say, you might be right!
Vyrn: They're getting away! Let's tail 'em, (Captain)!
Eugen: It looked like they came this way, but...
Vyrn: Hey! That's them!
Lyria: They fit the description perfectly—this must be who we're looking for. Er, but what should we do?
Vyrn: Now that we've spotted 'em, there's no choice but to nab 'em. Let's do this!
Eugen: Sounds good to me!
Vyrn: Stop right there, punks!
Shifty Goon 1: Who the hell are you lot?
Vyrn: We know exactly what you're up to!
Eugen: So how about you give up your little game and come along quietly.
???: Uh...sorry? I don't think I follow.
Shifty Goon 2: Yeesh...
Shifty Goon 1: You guys are buttin' in at a reeeeal bad time.
Eugen: You're not gonna make this easy for us, are you?
Vyrn: Come on, (Captain)! Let's clap this rabble in irons!
???: Wait, what?!
Shifty Goon 1: Argh!
Shifty Goon 2: Damn it!
???: What the heck is going on here?!
Eugen: You're the only one left, pal. Don't make this harder than it needs to be.
???: Please, just wait a second!
???: You've got it all wrong! These guys aren't my friends!
Vyrn: Well, ain't that convenient.
???: It's true! And I certainly haven't done anything that would make people like you chase after me!
Choose: All right, I believe you.
Lyria: Call it a hunch, but he doesn't seem like a bad guy to me.
Vyrn: Then why were you pallin' around with trash like this?
???: What?! Aw, geez...
Vyrn: Why were you pallin' around with 'em if you're not one of their gang?
Continue 1
???: They told me they'd spotted a friend that I'm looking for.
???: I was in the middle of having them take me to him.
Vyrn: For real? So wait, you're...
Eugen: I think we're dealing with the swindled here and not the swindler.
???: ...Swindled? Wait, are you talking about me?
The party explains the situation to the dazed, yet bright-eyed youth.
???: Oh, I get it. They were trying to pull a fast one on me, but you came along and rescued me!
Vyrn: That's about the long and short of it.
???: Sounds like I owe you one. Thanks!
???: The name's Stahn Aileron.
Vyrn: Nice to meetcha, Stahn. I'm Vyrn. This here's Lyria and Eugen.
Vyrn: And this is (Captain), the brave captain of our skyfarer crew.
Stahn: Captain? Hoooo! That's a pretty sweet title.
Eugen: By the way, you mentioned you were looking for a friend. Something up?
Stahn: Yeah, that's right. Although if those guys were lying to me, I just lost my only lead.
Vyrn: But your buddy's in this town, yeah?
Stahn: Uh, well, I can't say I'm totally sure.
Lyria: What do you mean?
Eugen: Got a bit of a troubling situation on your hands, do you?
Vyrn: If you feel like talking, we're all ears.
Stahn: Well, to tell the truth, I think I may have come here from a different world.
Vyrn: Seriously? You start with that?
Stahn: It's true—and I think a friend of mine may have come with me.
Lyria: And that's why you're trying to find him.
Stahn: Pretty much. Say, you haven't seen him, right? He's got black hair, he's a bit shorter than me, he's carrying a fantastic sword, his name is—
Vyrn: Wait, wait, wait! Back up!
Stahn: Um, what's the matter?
Vyrn: What do you mean, what's the matter! I haven't followed a thing you said since you started babbling about coming from some other world!
Stahn: Oh...yeah, I suppose that IS kind of surprising. It sure surprised me!
Eugen: You don't look surprised...
A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - The Blue of His Eyes - Episode 1: Scene 2
Stahn explains that he came to this world after being sucked into a black rift. While he wants to track down his friend and find a way back home, he also feels he must repay a debt to the party for their help. Unwilling to abandon Stahn to his own devices, the party decides to accompany him in his search.
Bombarded with questions from the party, Stahn explains how he ended up in their world after being sucked into a black fissure that tore the very fabric of space itself.
Stahn: ...When I opened my eyes, I had no idea where I was. I'd never heard of the town I was in, and I couldn't even use any of my money!
Stahn: Plus, the ground was FLOATING! That was the biggest shock of all.
Stahn: That kind of thing doesn't really happen in the world I came from. Like, ever.
Eugen: Yeah, okay. I see where you're comin' from.
Vyrn: Sure, but I mean, come on. A whole other world?
Lyria: It may sound hard to believe, but I don't think Stahn is lying.
Vyrn: Me neither. He's the kind of rube who gets scammed, not the one who does the scamming.
Eugen: Ha! That's for damn sure! Heck, we saw it happening with our own eyes!
Stahn: Haha! Yeah, you really got me out of a bind with that one.
Stahn: Oh, right! I need to thank you somehow! You did save me, after all.
Vyrn: I don't know about that. If anyone needs a helping hand right now, I feel like it's you.
Eugen: Shouldn't you be more focused on finding your friend and figuring out how to get back to your world?
Stahn: I suppose, yeah. Everyone will worry if I'm gone for too long.
Vyrn: You're quite the headache, pal. You know that?
Lyria: Hey, (Captain)! Don't you think we should help Stahn out?
Vyrn: For sure! I can't see him lasting two nights out there without us watchin' his back.
Eugen: Then I guess it's decided. Sounds like you just made some new friends, champ.
Stahn: No! I'm supposed to be the one returning a favor! I didn't think I'd be on the receiving end again...
Stahn: I mean, are you sure?
Eugen: You sure are an honest kid, aren't ya?
Eugen: Say, that's quite the sword you've got there. You know how to swing it?
Stahn: I sure do!
Eugen: Well, you use that to bail us out of trouble when the time comes, and we'll call it square.
Stahn: You got it!
Vyrn: Haha! I like your moxie!
Lyria: Pleasure to have you aboard, Stahn.
Stahn: The pleasure is all mine!
And that's how the party came to know the company of the young and cheerful Stahn Aileron.
