The Fallen One
A primal beast named Olivia visits the crew while they're taking a much-needed sabbatical. She explains she's lost her home island in the cataclysms before asking to join the crew. Underneath this veneer, Olivia is actually a fallen angel outcast and sealed to Pandemonium. She's using the crew to keep a closer eye on Lucifer, the supreme primarch.
The Grandcypher crew have successfully soared through skies of all sorts while continuing forth on their Estalucia-bound odyssey.
But one of their stormiest encounters occurred when the careful elemental balance maintained by the primarchs was torn asunder.
It was only through great effort that (Captain) and the others managed to thwart this cataclysm and restore harmony to the skies.
In a show of splendid gratitude, the supreme and omnipotent primarch, Lucifer, descended from above to thank them personally.
Lucifer: (Captain), I thank you for stopping my fellow archangel before it was too late.
Lucifer: We shall meet again. Until then, continue forth on the path you believe is true.
Lyria: ...
(Captain) and the others look on in pure amazement as Lucifer dissipates into thin air.
Meanwhile a solitary figure, furtive and unnoticed, watches this scene from nearby shadows.
???: ...
???: The supreme primarch, Lucifer. Amazing that he would manifest like this...
???: It could only mean... That child of man is the singularity...
Having saved countless skydwellers from certain doom, the crew take a well-deserved break.
Vyrn: Yawn...
(Captain) and Vyrn, who both woke up at the crack of noon, stretch out on the deck of the Grandcypher.
Lyria: (Captain), Vyrn! We've got a guest!
Vyrn: A guest?
Look, sorry, but we're not taking any jobs right now.
Look, sorry, but we're not taking any jobs right now.
???: I don't have a job for you. But I do have a favor to ask.
Vyrn: Mm? That sounds real close to the same thing to me...
???: Ah well, it's a bit of a long story...
Olivia: I guess, then, that I'll introduce myself first. I'm Olivia.
Lyria: Nice to meet you, Olivia! I'm Lyria, and this is (Captain) and Vyrn!
Lyria: But, Olivia... Do you happen to be, um... a primal beast?
Vyrn: P-primal beast! This girl?
Lyria: I believe so. I get that feeling from her...
Olivia: Ah, so I see you can discern the presence of primals.
Olivia: It was not my intention to hide my true nature, but it's just as you say, Lyria.
Vyrn: A primal beast just walks up to us and asks for a favor... You can't make this kinda stuff up.
Olivia: Are you so sure? It seems you're already very close with a number of primals. Wouldn't be that surprising if one or two had asked you for something...
Olivia: But I suppose this is our first meeting. Allow me to explain before you decide.
Olivia: You are aware that several islands came crashing down on that fateful day of the cataclysm, correct?
Lyria: Yes... They were small islands...
Olivia: Well, truth be told, one of those small islands was my home.
Vyrn: Your what? You're okay, right?
Olivia: Yes, I was fortunate. Or rather, I saw the signs and managed to escape in time.
Olivia: And, lo and behold, the first thing I see when I set foot on stable ground is your group.
Olivia: You all acted to save the islands without a second thought to your own safety.
Olivia: Not to mention I spied you successfully restoring balance to the primarchs' respective elements.
Olivia: As one who dwells in these skies, allow me to offer you my gratitude. You did wonderful work—thank you.
Lyria: Thank us? We weren't even able to save your island...
Olivia: It's not your fault the island fell. Don't burden yourself with things that are out of your control, Lyria.
Olivia: Hah. Look how long my introduction's gotten. My apologies.
Olivia: Now, unless my eyes deceive me, it seems you have primal beasts acting as crew members...
Vyrn: You got that right! We're best buds with our primals! That got something to do with your favor?
Olivia: People and primals, working hand-in-hand to counter the crises of the sky realms...
Olivia: It's not every day you get to see a display like that.
Olivia: It made me wonder if I should side with such company...
Lyria: Ah! So, you mean you want to come with us?
Olivia: Indeed. I would like to become your ally and join your adventure.
Vyrn: Really? So that's what you meant by favor!
Olivia: So long as I'm with this crew, I won't have to hide the fact I'm a primal beast.
Olivia: And besides that, my island's gone—I have no place to go.
Olivia: I hope you'll consider me worthy...
Choose: What kind of primal beast are you, Olivia?
Olivia: Ah, I control dusk.
Vyrn: Dusk? You mean you can make it night time or something?
Olivia: Haha. Sorry to disappoint you, but my power doesn't go that far.
Olivia: You could think of dusk as the time where endings begin and rest comes to the weary.
Olivia: No matter what foes you face, I can grant them a fitting ending...
Olivia: And thus provide absolute protection, even when you are at rest.
Lyria: Wow! That sounds really cool somehow!
Olivia: Hehe. Well, I won't object to a little flattery.
Olivia: As for matters of battle, worry not. I'd venture to say I'm quite adept in the ways of war. I won't be a hindrance to you in that respect.
Choose: Of course! Let's get this journey started!
Lyria: That's right! It must be so hard for you now that your home is gone.
Olivia: Thank you. I'm glad I'll be traveling with kind people such as yourselves.
Olivia: Which reminds me that I've forgotten to
ask—where is your destination anyway?
ask—where is your destination anyway?
Vyrn: Hehe. We're headed on a course straight for Estalucia!
Olivia: Estalucia, you say...
Vyrn: Yep! Which is why powerful buds like you are always welcome aboard!
Olivia: As for matters of battle, worry not. I'd venture to say I'm quite adept in the ways of war. I won't be a hindrance to you in that respect.

Olivia: Thanks for allowing me to join your ranks, (Captain). Or, Captain, I should say.
Lyria: We're happy to have you, Olivia!
(Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn gleefully welcome Olivia aboard the Grandcypher.
Lyria: Well, this is your room! Go ahead and make yourself at home. I'll be back to call you when it's time to eat.
Olivia: Very well. Thanks for showing me around.
Lyria: Not at all! See you later!
Olivia: ...
Olivia: That (Captain)... Certainly friendly, but lacks precaution...
Olivia: If a fresh warrior invited an unknown element into the group, they would be severely reprimanded.
Releasing a long and heavy sigh, Olivia sits back into a chair. Her brows then furrow and her expression turns stern.
Olivia: I will do what must be done for Him... For all of my brethren...
Olivia: This is merely the first, small step.
Olivia stares blankly at the wall before falling into a state of quiet reminiscence.
Olivia: (Primal beast Olivia... That title isn't wrong, but nor is it correct.)
Olivia: (Long ago, when the Astrals took over the skydoms, I was born an archangel—one of the original primal beasts.)
Olivia: (With my mastery over dusk, I was tasked with preventing nightmares from seeping into the sky realms. But that was in the past.)
Olivia: (It was not long until my brethren and I stood against the lords and their Creator... So we became fallen angels as a result.)
Olivia: (We fought bravely; yet we were defeated. As a matter of course, we fallen few were sealed within Pandemonium.)
Olivia: (However... Even though my brethren weren't searching for a way to break our binding, they did discover a way to circumvent it.)
Olivia: (It was the sheer force of their will that allowed me to manifest this form—a piece of my consciousness and power.)
Olivia: (This body is nothing more than a phantom... But it's enough to do what I must. Long enough to accomplish what He wills...)
Olivia: (One day we will ascend once more. But to assure our victory, I will first need to observe our foe's movements.)
Olivia: (So long as I remain close to the singularity, I should be able to ascertain the movements of our enemies—including the supreme primarch's.)
Olivia: (Although I find it distasteful that I must feign to be an ally to a child of man...)
Olivia: (Brethren, I will fulfill my role and release you all from Pandemonium!)
Olivia: ...
Olivia: ...!
Vyrn: Olivia! You in there?
Olivia: I've been here the whole time. Has something happened?
Vyrn: A nearby village has been attacked by monsters! We gotta go help 'em!
Olivia: You took on a job? I thought you weren't planning on accepting any assignments for a while.
Vyrn: No time to explain! It sounds like those villagers are barely hangin' in there!
(Captain) and Vyrn give Olivia a pleading look.
Olivia: Hah...
Olivia: This is exactly why I signed up for this crew.
Olivia: You have my sword! Let's move!
Vyrn: That's what I'm talkin' about! C'mon, (Captain)!
Olivia follows behind (Captain) and the others as they make haste for the beleaguered village.
Olivia. She was an archangel, outcast for once standing against the Astrals and their Creator.
It is under a shroud of falsified friendship that she deceives (Captain)'s crew—and thereby gains a position to spy on the foes of the fallen.
