Guardian of the West-Southwest

On the way to the West-Southwest Temple, (Captain) and company save an unusual young girl named Andira, who has inherited powerful abilities and a sacred duty from her ancestor. Intrigued by (Captain)'s selfless actions, she asks to join the crew on their journey.



While on their travels, the crew hears of a temple which opens its doors to the public only once every twelve years.
Anila is a crew member

Last year the crew visited Anila, the Guardian of the South-Southwest. Now the crew turns the Grandcypher's prow in this year's lucky direction: west-southwest.
Anila not in crew

They hope to pray for good health and fortune at the temple there.
It's smooth sailing until the crew's path is obstructed by a girl lazily drifting in front of the airship.
Vyrn: Hey, (Captain). Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
(Captain) sees it too. A girl... lying atop a cloud. The crew is further astonished to see that she is, in fact, sleeping.
Lyria: Um! Excuse me! I'm not sure it's safe to sleep there!
Vyrn: More importantly... How is she even sleeping on a cloud to begin with?
Roused by the crew's inquisitive voices, the girl reluctantly awakens.
???: Yawn... Go ahead and bump into me if you want...
Vyrn: Well, if you insist, then—Hey! We're not going to bump into you on purpose!
???: But I'm so sleepy... It's fine... Really... I can take it...
The girl begins to lie back down, obviously eager to return to sleep.
(Captain) makes a swift decision and leaps overboard onto her cloud.
(Captain) and the girl tumble off the cloud, barely managing to avoid getting hit by the Grandcypher.
???: Eek!
(Captain) holds on tightly to the surprised girl as they plummet into the depths.
???: What would drive you to do such a thing?
  1. I couldn't let you fall alone.
  2. I don't know. It just happened.


Choose: I couldn't let you fall alone.

???: R-really? Incredible! Weren't you scared?

Choose: I don't know. It just happened.

???: Bwahaha! Really? You're nuts! Weren't you scared?

There's a sparkle in her eye as she speaks.
  1. I'm terrified.
  2. I'm not... s-scared...


Choose: I'm terrified.

???: Considering we're about to die, that's understandable. And we just met each other, too...
(Captain) apologizes to the girl, who seems surprisingly nonchalant about their predicament.
Go to "Continue 2"


Choose: I'm not... s-scared...

???: You must be really strong. Thank you for helping me.
The girl grabs (Captain)'s trembling arms.
(Captain) apologizes to the girl, whose tone has turned serious.

Continue 2

???: Hee hee. Why are you apologizing?
The girl's expression shifts again. (Captain) is still visibly shaken by their less than ideal circumstances.
???: Hahaha! You're a funny one. What's your name?
(Captain) answers.
???: (Captain), huh? Funny name for a funny person!
(Captain) asks for her name.
Andira: Andira. My name's Andira.
Andira: I think it's time I saved you, (Captain).
Andira: Hold on like your life depends on it! Because it does!
Andira wraps her tail around (Captain).
Andira: Light as a feather... Come, my cloud!
The cloud that Andira had been riding earlier appears before them.
Relieved to see a beacon of hope, (Captain) tries to climb onto the cloud... and falls straight through it.
Andira: Heheheh... Sorry! But this cloud is just for me.
Andira settles herself back atop her magic cloud, catches (Captain), and readies her staff.
Andira: Absolute freedom in endless skies! Go, Nyoi Bo!
Andira points her staff upward, and as she chants her incantation, it begins to extend.
The tip of the staff lodges in the hull of the Grandcypher, putting a stop to their fall.
Andira: Don't worry. I'll pay for that!
(Captain) can't help but return Andira's smile.
Andira: All right, let's get back to the ship.
When Andira and (Captain) clamber their way back onboard, Vyrn and Lyria rush to greet them.
(Captain) tells them what happened.
Lyria: Sniff... I'm just glad you're both okay.
Vyrn: That was one crazy stunt you pulled back there!
Vyrn: What were you doing sleeping on that cloud, Andira?
Andira: Just taking a little na—
I mean... Thanks for your help back there!
Vyrn: Uh... Sure. Just glad to see you're safe.
Andira: Actually... I want to pay you back for the hole I made in your ship. If you come with me I can get you the money.
Lyria: Oh, don't worry about that. The hole's not that big anyway!
Lyria: Besides, you saved (Captain)'s life, Andira! If anything, we owe you!
Andira: Oh no. I've caused you nothing but trouble, so—
Vyrn: Don't worry about it! Anyway, we should really get going. We gotta get to the Temple of the West-Southwest ASAP!
Andira: You do? In that case... At least allow me to show you the way.
On the way to the temple, (Captain) tells Andira of their quest to find Estalucia.
With Andira's guidance the crew soon finds their way to the West-Southwest Temple.
Andira: This is the Monkey Temple of the West-Southwest.
Lyria: Wow. Thank you so much, Andira!
Andira: Please. It's the least I could have done.
Vyrn: Man, this place is packed.
Vyrn: Huh? What's that?
Vyrn points at a crowd of worshippers who are all gathered around... Andira?
Lyria: Is that Andira? But she's right here!
Vyrn: Sure seems like it...
Lyria: Oh, I know! Andira must have an identical twin!
Andira: Nope.
Andira: The real Andira's over there. I'm just a fake.
Vyrn: What do you mean, fake?
Andira: I'll explain in a second. But first... let me do something about this crowd.
The other Andira chants a word under her breath, and the Andira standing with the crew vanishes like a puff of smoke.
Lyria: Wah! She just disappeared into thin air!
When the crowd disperses, the crew goes up to Andira.
Anila is a crew member

Andira reveals her identity as the Guardian of the West-Southwest.
As keeper of the Monkey Temple, she is the spirit of this year.
Anila not in crew

People come here to pray for health, wealth, and prosperity in the year to come.
However, Andira explains that the temple was originally built after the War to watch over the boundary between the Sky Realm and the Astral Realm.
There are twelve temples in all, one for each cardinal point, each governed by one of the Twelve Divine Generals. The generals take turns serving as the year spirit.
This year is the year of the Monkey Temple in the West-Southwest, so Andira has been chosen as the year spirit.
Vyrn: Wow, I would never have guessed someone like you would be given that kind of responsibility!
Vyrn: I mean... It's amazing you're in charge of an entire temple at your age!
Andira: It's nothing special, really.
Lyria: No, it really is! And you have amazing powers! Like before when there were two of you!
Andira: That magic has been passed down through the generations in my family.
Andira: It all started with this one ancestor of mine who traveled with a great monk called Lord Tripitaka...
Andira lowers her gaze, lost in deep thought.
Lyria: Did something happen with this Lord Tripitaka?
Andira: Well, actually, (Captain)... You sound exactly like the stories I've heard about him.
Vyrn: What are you trying to say? Start from the beginning!
Andira: Helping people without any regard for your own safety...
Andira: That silly, irresponsible side of you is exactly like Lord Tripitaka, (Captain)!
Andira points at (Captain), a twinge of anger in her voice.
Andira: Long ago, my ancestor traveled with Lord Tripitaka to a faraway land called Tianzhu.
Andira: Since I first heard the story I've always longed to go there.
Andira: I'm beginning to think that if I go with you guys, maybe I'll be able to find Tianzhu...
Andira looks out at the horizon.
Andira: I know this is a huge favor to ask, but it's something I've wanted to do my entire life.
Andira: Would it be okay if I joined you on your journey, (Captain)?
  1. Let's find this Tianzhu place!
  2. Of course, partner!


Choose: Let's find this Tianzhu place!

Andira: Huh? Are you sure?
Andira: Yay! I can't tell you how much this means to me! Thank you so much!
Go to "Continue 3"


Choose: Of course, partner!

Andira: Partner? I like the sound of that!
Andira: All right, let's do this!
Andira: Hee hee... And don't worry. I'll protect you from whatever comes our way!

Continue 3

Andira: Along with your two attendants, of course.
Vyrn: Huh? What do you mean, attendants?
Andira: Um... Is that not what the two of you are?
Vyrn: I ain't no attendant!
Lyria: Ha ha... No need to get upset, Vyrn.
Vyrn: You're not gonna shut me down this time, Lyria!
Vyrn: I'm not just some attendant! I'm (Captain)'s oldest and closest friend!
Andira: Oh dear... That was incredibly rude of me, then.
Vyrn: Rgh... Listen to you acting all polite...
Andira: Ah!
Lyria: Is something wrong?
Andira: I forgot something important!
Vyrn: What is it?
Andira: I have to get permission to leave from my grandfather!
Lyria: Oh my gosh!
Andira: If I don't, everyone back home is going to worry about me.
Lyria: Hee hee...
(...I totally forgot that she's still just a child...)
Vyrn: Roger that! We'll go wherever we gotta go! Including your house!
And so begins Andira's journey on the Grandcypher.
After getting permission from her grandfather, she officially becomes a member of the crew. Tianzhu awaits!
