An Archer Dreams of Adventure
In Sutera's hometown, the crew meets Aster, a young girl who longs for the outside world. She has given up leaving due to the customs of her village, but the sympathetic chieftain permits her to join (Captain) and company on their journey.
(Captain) and company bring Sutera, an archer they met on their journey, to her faraway hometown.
Aster, a young girl who will be undergoing the guardian trials, comes from the village to greet Sutera by the docked Grandcypher.
Her eyes sparkle as she stands before the airship.
Aster: Wow...
Vyrn: Huh? What's up, Aster? Why the blank face?
Aster: Oh, sorry about that! Your airship is just so incredible!
Vyrn: You like airships?
Aster: Um, well... This island, Cizierma, has almost no interaction with faraway islands, so airships rarely visit here.
Vyrn: Huh... So that's why the port's so empty.
Aster: As embarrassing as it is to admit, this is actually my first time seeing an airship. It's a little overwhelming...
Aster: This airship soars through the skies and goes to other islands, doesn't it? Amazing!
Aster: Ah! I'm sorry for rambling. You must be tired from your journey! I'll guide you to the village!
Lyria: Hey, Aster. If you'd like, I'd be happy to give you a tour of the Grandcypher!
Aster: Really?
Vyrn: Yeah! This is the first airship you've ever seen, after all. Go check it out!
Aster: Um... Are you okay with this, too, (Captain)?
Aster: Yay! Thank you so much! I'll be careful not to break anything!
Vyrn: Haha! Don't be so nervous, Aster!
Aster: No way! I've always wanted to board an airship!
Lyria: Really? Sounds like it's your lucky day then!

Lyria: Hehe. This is the entrance. Let's go, Aster!
Aster: I-I really appreciate this!
Aster: The decor is beautiful, and the technology is simply amazing... This really is a majestic airship.
Aster: Even the engine is exceptionally fine-tuned. I can tell you take great care in using it. It's really impressive!
Lyria: Hehe! I'm sure the Grandcypher is happy to be praised like that!
Aster: I know having you show me the engine room and cargo hold was asking a lot. I don't know how to thank you...
Vyrn: Don't sweat it! Most people just aren't interested in seein' that stuff!
Aster: Really? You know, some aspects were different from what I've seen in books. It was fascinating.
Aster: To actually see an airship, a culmination of the technology of the outside world... I just knew it would be amazing.
Aster: The village elders frown upon knowledge and technology from outside the island, but I think they could benefit our village...
Aster: Oh! I-I'm sorry, I got lost in my own thoughts!
Lyria: No worries! You're quite a thinker, aren't you, Aster?
Aster: I had a weak constitution for some time after I was born... So I tried to make myself useful to the village by means of knowledge.
Aster: I studied and studied, hoping that one day I could continue with my education outside the island and learn to help other people.
Lyria: I see! I'm sure you'll be able to do it, Aster!
Aster: Thank you, Lyria! I'll do my best!
Aster: Ah! Sorry for overstaying my welcome. I'll guide you to the village!
Aster leads the crew to the village. When they arrive, the chieftain requests that they hunt down some monsters.
(Captain) and company complete the request and head back to report to the chieftain.
Village Chief: Thank you. Due to the power of The Forbidding One, monsters often gather on this island. You've done us a great service.
Vyrn: Hehe! It was a piece of cake!
Village Chief: Now that you have proven you were not exaggerating your abilities in the slightest, I have another request for you.
Lyria: We're happy to help! Monster hunting again?
Village Chief: Not quite... Come on in here, Aster.
Aster: Right away! Um... What do you need?
Village Chief: You see, Skyfarers... I would like you to allow Aster here to accompany you on your journey.
Village Chief: This girl wishes to learn about the world outside the island. I'd like to make her dream come true.
Aster: What! But, sir... The elders are opposed to that...
Village Chief: The elderly are not in charge of our future. I myself am already an old man. Tomorrow belongs to the young.
Village Chief: While we have the responsibility to lead the young, it is not our place to get in their way.
Aster: Yes... But...
Choose: Do you want to stay in the village?
Aster: I do love my village. The elders can be a difficult bunch, but that's only because they want what's best for all of us.
Aster: Their example is why I want to learn as much as I can in order to be of use to the village.
Aster: And to do that, I want to see what it's like outside this island!
Aster: Are you sure it's okay? Won't I just get in the way, (Captain)?
Vyrn: Aster! Stop worrying about what everybody else thinks and just tell us what you want to do!
Aster: What I want to do?
Aster: I... I want to see what it's like outside this island!

Lyria: Then let's go! In our airship, we can go anywhere together!
Aster: ...!
Okay! I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time!
Okay! I'm sure we'll have a wonderful time!
Aster: I'll study as much as I can... not only for my village, but for your crew too!
Thus it is decided that Aster will join (Captain) and company on their journey.
What will Aster learn from this marvel-filled world? Her adventure has only just begun.
