Seeds of Redemption - An Alternative Introduction - The Eternal's Lost Property
(Captain), Lyria, and Vyrn search the Grandcypher's deck for the mantle lost by the Eternal who recently joined the crew. Once found, they go over Lyria's journal entries on all the Eternals before returning the mantle to its owner.
Lyria: Mantle! Oh, maaantle! Where aaare yooou?
(Captain) and the others are scattered across the Grandcypher's deck, peering into every nook and cranny.
They are hunting for something reported lost by a recent addition to the crew.
Lyria: Oh! It was over here drying! Today was laundry day, wasn't it?
Vyrn: Aw c'mon, an Eternal oughta know the difference between losing something and putting it in the laundry.
Vyrn: Isn't that cloak like an ID badge for them? You gotta keep better tabs on something that important!
Lyria: Ahaha... Well, it takes a little while to get used to a new ship and how we do things here.
Lyria: There are bound to be a few mistakes like that.
Vyrn: I guess even the greatest hotshots have their goofy moments.
Lyria: Hehe... That's actually kind of reassuring.
Vyrn: True... When you watch 'em fight, sometimes you hafta pinch yourself to make sure it's not some crazy dream.
Lyria: They're not known as the skies' strongest users of their weapons for nothing, that's for sure.
Lyria: When it comes to their specialties... Oh, actually, Seofon wrote down the answers to some of my questions in my journal. Do you want to see?
On the first page is information about the Eternals who specialize in the spear, bow, and axe.
Choose: Anre, Eternal of the Spear
Lyria: It says... "Anre, the Eternals' spear-user, places a transient seal on creation, leaving foes to crash upon his icy bastion."
Vyrn: Uh, if I remember right, he specializes in blocking enemy attacks or dodging and countering them.
Lyria: And it says he can bop an angry monster on the noggin and quiet it right down!
Vyrn: I wonder how much spear training a little dude like him had to do to become so hard-core.
Lyria: I heard there was something in his past that drove him... That's why he created the Eternals too.
Vyrn: He looks like such a chill guy, but there's a lot goin' on under the surface, I bet.
Choose: Tweyen, Eternal of the Bow
Lyria: Tweyen, Eternal of the Bow, "pierces her targets with rays of light. Under her all-seeing eye, even the open plains become a maze of fiendish traps."
Vyrn: She specializes in inflicting paralysis and blindness, and all sortsa stuff that makes it hard for her targets to move. She's an expert hunter all right.
Lyria: Plus, it says here she can dodge attacks with ease, and use her magical bow and arrows to shoot multiple targets at once.
Vyrn: She's got those crazy eyes that let her see clean from one end of an island to the other, right?
Vyrn: And that cold look she gets on her face when she pulls back her bowstring... Gives me the shivers. She's nobody to mess with!
Lyria: But she does have a casual side too, like when she gets into pun-offs with Siero...
Choose: Threo, Eternal of the Axe
Lyria: Threo, Eternal of the Axe, "can reduce a mighty mountain to a hill of rubble with just one swing of her battle-axe."
Vyrn: That's nuts. I don't think her being able to blow a mountain to smithereens is an exaggeration either.
Lyria: She's already really strong, but when she gets serious, she can take it to a whole other level apparently. It also says she's so agile, she can easily dodge and counter.
Vyrn: What with bein' raised by animals in the forest, she has a kind of untamed quality, don'tcha think?
Lyria: When she's not fighting, she loves food and is just bursting with curiosity... It's really kind of adorable.

On the second page is information about the Eternals who specialize in the dagger, staff, and hand-to-hand combat.
Choose: Feower, Eternal of the Dagger
Lyria: It says, "His twin blades confound evildoers and strike without mercy."
Vyrn: His specialty is slowing his enemies down or stopping 'em all together. He's got all sortsa methods of tripping 'em up.
Lyria: Plus, he can extend the effects of his allies' protections—like ones that make weapons sharper or armor stronger.
Vyrn: Huh. You wouldn't guess it from all the trash he talks, but he's really keepin' an eye out for his buddies, isn't he?
Lyria: I think he cares a lot more about his friends than he wants to let on.
Choose: Fif, Eternal of the Staff
Lyria: Hmm... It says here, "in spite of her young age, the magic within her is unparalleled. Her benevolent light can heal any wound."
Vyrn: A healing magic specialist, huh? Looks like she can get her friends back on their feet when they're totally exhausted, or heal 'em up from some pretty major damage.
Lyria: You can tell what a nice kid she is as soon as you talk to her. You should get to know her, (Captain).
Vyrn: I forget why, but I think that big old Draph Eternal looks out for her, right?
Lyria: Yes, I wonder what the story behind that is... Anyway, she's pretty amazing to be the skies' greatest magic user at seven years old!
Choose: Seox, Eternal of the Fist
Lyria: It says that Seox is "a solitary assassin who dwells in the dusk of twilight and will stop at nothing to return alive from doing his master's deadly bidding."
Vyrn: He's quick on his feet all right. Seox is one tough target to hit.
Lyria: And apparently he's really good at fitting in multiple attacks where most people could only manage one.
Vyrn: He acts like it's no big deal... It's just business as usual as far as he's concerned.
Lyria: He seems a little scary, but Siero insists he isn't.
Vyrn: What'd she say again? "Even Seox has weaknesses. Unmask and you shall perceive. Tee hee hee."
Lyria: What do you think happens if you take off his mask? Ahhh, I'm really curious now!

On the third page is information about the Eternals who specialize in the sabre, katana, and harp.
Choose: Seofon, Eternal of the Sabre
Lyria: Let's see here... "I call myself the Star Sword Sovereign, but in fact I'm just an easy, breezy, beautiful boy-about-town, you know?"
Vyrn: I'm sorry, what?
Lyria: Phooey! The only entry he didn't take seriously was the one about himself!
Vyrn: Is it really okay for the leader of the Eternals to be this chill?
To be fair, he does always seem to come through when the chips are down.
To be fair, he does always seem to come through when the chips are down.
Lyria: Yes! He can really slice things up with those swords of his, plus, at a single order from Seofon, all his allies can ready their charge attacks at once!
Vyrn: I wonder how come he only really seems like a leader when he's in battle...
Choose: Eahta, Eternal of the Katana
Lyria: "Endless training has honed his blade till it can cleave rock so smoothly you can see your face in it" is what it says.
Vyrn: Thanks to all his training, that old geezer can fully control his own energy and concentration.
Lyria: It also says that he has "a technique for inflicting even deeper wounds, whose power can demoralize an entire army."
Vyrn: One look at him is probably enough to intimidate most people... I think if he gave me the stink eye, I'd leave the skydom.
Lyria: But Siero said Eahta was good friends with a little girl too.
Vyrn: So he's the nurturing type, huh? Goes to show you shouldn't judge a book by its big, scary cover, especially when that book says "Eternal" on the spine.
Choose: Niyon, Eternal of the Harp
Lyria: Niyon is "a sensitive and serious musician. Borne on a lively breeze, her melodies can lead an entire army astray."
Vyrn: From what I hear, she can play people's emotions like a song on that harp of hers.
Lyria: Not just scaring people or cheering them up, but actually manipulating them... What a mysterious ability.
Vyrn: So I guess if she's on your side, she can keep the wind at your back—and out of your opponents' sails.
Lyria: It says she can put people to sleep too.
Vyrn: She looks so timid but she's got some killer techniques up her sleeve.
Lyria: I'm sure we'd learn all sorts of surprising things about her if we got to know her better.

On the last page is information about the Eternal who specializes in the gun.
Choose: Tien, Eternal of the Gun
Lyria: "A fire burns silently in Tien's heart and takes form in the hails of bullets she unleashes from both hands."
Vyrn: She doesn't have an itchy trigger finger or anythin', but once she cocks the hammer, she really unloads. It's like a storm of lead: kracka-boom!
Vyrn: She's a tough opponent who can launch surprise attacks on enemies she's knocked off balance, and she's got a keen eye for hidden treasures to boot.
Lyria: It says "she learned her skills growing up in the slums." It sounds like she's had it pretty tough ever since she was little.
Vyrn: I heard she looks out for all the kids in some town... I wonder if she does that 'cause of what she went through when she was younger.
Lyria: She protects them along with her little brother, right? And I think both siblings are Eternals...
Choose: "No, I know them well enough."
Lyria: Wow, (Captain)! You really do your homework!
Vyrn: Makes sense (Captain)'d be keepin' an eye on a crew who're supposed to be the strongest people in the skies.
Maybe 'cause you were planning to recruit one all along?

Lyria: Hehe, if my journal helped you get to know the Eternals better, I'm glad.
Vyrn: Whoa, hey. Land ho, you guys. Shouldn't we get this mantle back to its owner?
Lyria: Right! It's an Eternal's ID badge after all. Let's return it before we meet up with our next client.
(Captain) leads the way to restore the washed and dried mantle to its rightful owner.
