The Princess and the Sea
Heles encounters a sunburned young fisherman. She gives him some of her salve, and then boards his ship with (Captain) and the others.
Heles's home on Alster Island has been ravaged by monsters.
During the rebuilding, Heles researches other regions' industries to promote growth back home.
As a part of those efforts, (Captain) takes her to meet with the local fisherman's guild on Auguste.
Heles: Hmm... It must be great to provide a regional specialty.
Old Fisherman: Yeah, it's good to know they'll sell, especially since they spoil so quick.
Pro Fisherman: Takes time to prepare 'em for sale, too.
Heles: Hmm... I see.
Old Fisherman: Well, that about sums it up. Did you get anything useful out of all that?
Heles: Yes, very much so. I'm very grateful for the time you've given me today.
Pro Fisherman: Hard to believe anything good would come out of talkin' to a bunch of sea dogs like us!
Heles: Oh, how humble of you, sir. (Captain), thank you for bringing me here today.
Lyria: We learned all kinds of things about fishing today! Didn't we, (Captain)?
Kid Fisherman: Hey there! I'm here to prepare the nets.
Pro Fisherman: What the... What are you doin' here? I told you to take the day off and recover!
Kid Fisherman: I'm all better now. Really!
Heles: Are you ill, young man? You mustn't overexert yourself.
Pro Fisherman: Yeah, you heard the lady. You could barely stay on your feet yesterday.
Pro Fisherman: We aren't sayin' this to mess with you. But we know how much pain you're in when you get sunburned on our fishing trips.
Old Fisherman: He's right. You can help out at the marketplace instead.
Kid Fisherman: But, but... Ever since I was a kid, I've always wanted to be a big-time fisherman, just like my old man!
Pro Fisherman: Hmm...
Heles: Pardon me, but did you say that this young man suffers sunburns?
Old Fisherman: Yeah. I guess he's just got bad skin or somethin'. He turns all red and when it's real bad, he even runs a fever.
Heles: I see. Shall I offer you my salve, then? It might be of use to you.
Heles: It is often used in my kingdom to prevent scalding—I mean, to prevent sunburns.
Kid Fisherman: That kinda thing exists? Well, my skin's fried, so give it here!
Heles: It would be a shame for a young man as passionate as you to be taken off the job. I hope this salve is effective.
The next day, Heles catches word that the young fisherman is feeling well enough to join the trip for the day.
Heles: As the one who suggested that the boy use that salve, it's my responsibility to ensure his wellbeing henceforth.
And so Heles, (Captain), and the rest of the crew soon find themselves aboard the young man's fishing vessel.
The Princess and the Sea: Scene 2
The young fisherman thanks Heles for the salve that freed him from sunburns.
With (Captain) and company aboard, the fishing vessel sets out onto the open sea.
Pro Fisherman: Okay! Pull up that net!
Kid Fisherman: Got it! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
Vyrn: Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Kiddo, (Captain), give it all you've got!
Heles: Well, fishing is more alluring than I'd imagined.
Heles: Since you've been kind enough to allow me onboard, I'd like to assist somehow.
Heles: It's been quite some time since the sun came up. How are you feeling?
Kid Fisherman: I feel great! No redness, no pain! And it's all thanks to you!
Pro Fisherman: Here we go with the next one! Get over here!
Kid Fisherman: I'm on it!
Heles: (Captain), please allow me to assist with the next haul.
Lyria: (Captain), Heles, good luck!
Heles: Thank you! Well then, let's get to it! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
The Princess and the Sea: Scene 3
(Captain), Heles, and the others defend the fishing vessel from a monster that's hungry for their catch.
Pro Fisherman: Hahaha! Now that's a big catch! You're really gettin' the hang of this! Maybe we owe our luck today to your good graces.
Heles: Me? Are you sure it isn't (Captain) that we have to thank?
Soriz (Event) is a crew member
Kid Fisherman: You guys look like you've done this before!
Pro Fisherman: Wow! You were on a research vessel in North Vast? Now that explains why you're so good.
Kid Fisherman: I can't let you guys outdo me!
Vyrn: That's the spirit, kid!
Heles: Hehe.
Heles smiles as she watches the bright young fisherman compete with the crew.
But suddenly her expression hardens. She spots a large object on the horizon.
Heles: Something's coming toward the ship!
Monster: Shrraah!
Pro Fisherman: Damn, we've got incoming! We gotta protect our fish. Get ready to fight!
Kid Fisherman: You got it!
Heles: I may be able to help more in battle than in fishing. My blade is yours!
Vyrn: (Captain), we better help too! Let's fend off those monsters!
The Princess and the Sea: Scene 4
After striking a deal to sell her homeland's salve in Auguste, Heles unwinds on the beach beside (Captain).
After (Captain) and company fend off the monsters, they head back to port with a full load of fish.
Pro Fisherman: Whew! We sure couldn't have beat those things without you.
Kid Fisherman: Thanks for everything, you guys! Giving me that salve, helping us with those monsters... You really saved the day!
Seeing the fishermen nod in gratitude, Heles flashes a gentle smile.
Heles: We're glad to be of service. Thank you for having us aboard.
Pro Fisherman: Our pleasure. Say, about that salve you gave our boy here. That was from your kingdom, right?
Heles: Yes. It's a traditional medicine made by the apothecaries on our island.
Pro Fisherman: So what you're sayin' is, it ain't so pricey. You might say it's some kinda local specialty.
Kid Fisherman: I know guys that get burned just about as bad as me. They'd snap it right up!
Heles: Indeed, you make an excellent point.
Heles: Tourists might yearn for it as much as the fishermen.
Pro Fisherman: Yeah, and there might be more of them than us!
Pro Fisherman: Let's talk with the trade association about it. It's the least we can do after you helped our boy!
Heles: That would be very kind of you. Who would have thought that things would turn out this way?
Heles: Providence truly is a mystery.
Heles and the fisherman leave to go and speak with the association.
Day rolls into night, and Heles returns from her meeting. She is greeted by (Captain).
Heles: Thank you for waiting for me. I have never been to this area before, so it's a relief to know someone is here waiting for me.
Heles: Our business negotiations proceeded smoothly. The only matter remaining is to discuss this with the Great Court.
Heles: One land's everyday objects are sometimes worth a small fortune elsewhere.
Heles: Of course every island has its own culture, but those it's not always easy to notice the value.
Heles: I am reminded to think of the bigger picture. Doing so should allow us to make the greatest progress.
Heles stares out at the sea in silent reflection. (Captain) sits quietly beside her.
Heles: Ah yes, that reminds me. I received a nice gift from those fishermen. Here, have some, (Captain).
Heles: This bottle is filled with one of their local drinks. And the package contains fish bone crackers, which are quite flavorful.
Heles hands the crackers to (Captain), who hurriedly chomps them down.
Heles: It's remarkable how every bit of the fish is put to use in these crackers.
Heles: It's a reminder to be grateful to the other living beings that give us life.
Heles: Oh, are you going to fill my glass for me? Hehe. That's very kind of you.
Heles: The seascape at day is so different from the one at night. Tonight's is quite lovely.
Heles's adventure with (Captain) strengthens her resolve to rebuild her homeland.
But tonight, Heles sets her duties aside and enjoys a conversation with (Captain) to the sound of the rolling waves.
