Scenario:Seofon - Encountering the Eternals II

Encountering the Eternals II

The crew once again encounters the visitor from before, who introduces himself as Seofon of the Eternals. Upon reexamining the Seven-Star Sword, his expression grows serious, and he mutters something mysterious to himself before leaving the store.

---

(Captain) and crew continue working to awaken the Seven-Star Sword.

Today they stop by the Knickknack Shack to ask Sierokarte's advice on what to do next.

Vyrn: Hey, Siero! Can you take a quick look at that weapon we were asking you about?

???: Oh my! If it isn't the group from the other day...

Vyrn: Wait a sec... You're the weapon nut from the other day!

Lyria: V-Vyrn, that's rude...

???: No, no... I should be the one apologizing. I didn't even tell you my name the other day.

Sierokarte returns from the back of the store.

Sierokarte: Why if it isn't (Captain) and crew!

???: So your name is (Captain)... A good name indeed.

Seofon: My name is Seofon. But what if I told you my title... is Seofon of the Eternals?

Vyrn: The Eternals? Who are they? Some kind of boy band?

Seofon: Y-you... You haven't heard of the Eternals?

Lyria: N-no... Sorry...

Seofon: No worries, no worries! I'm actually glad you haven't!
(This means I've got free reign, baby!)

Seofon: Ahem... Allow me to explain. The Eternals are a gathering of ten of the sky's premier weapon experts.

Seofon: Some say we are a menace to the skies. But if a problem were to arise, it would only take one of us to solve it.

Vyrn: Gulp...

Seofon: As for me... I am Seofon, Star Sword Sovereign and leader of the Eternals!

Vyrn: That's so cool! So I guess you're more than just a weapon nut...

Lyria: Right! And now we completely understand just what makes him so incredible!

Seofon: Hahaha! Aren't I, though? By all means keep the compliments coming.

Sierokarte: I see, I see... So that's the kind of organization you wanted the Eternals to be...

Seofon: Now, now, let's not say anything we can't take back, Siero...

Sierokarte: The Eternals are really quite the relaxed crew! Everyone does their own thing.

Vyrn: Hmm... They're still super strong though, right?

Sierokarte: Of course! I can personally guarantee that Seofon and the rest of the Eternals are very powerful indeed!

Seofon: Heh... Siero has a way of making it harder to talk...

Lyria: Why did you create the Eternals, Seofon?

Seofon: Huh? Isn't it obvious?

Seofon: As a hard-core weapon fan, I wanted to collect not just the strongest weapons... but the strongest wielders of those weapons as well!

Lyria: Ah, I see...

Seofon: I'm just joking.

Vyrn: That was a joke?

Sierokarte: Yes. You should take most of what he says with about a pound of salt.

Seofon: Oh geez... You really know how to throw me off my game, Siero!

Seofon suddenly turns serious.

Seofon: Do you know the meaning of the words... noblesse oblige?

Lyria: No bless, no cheese? What does that mean?

Seofon: Hehe... To put it simply, it means that with great power comes great responsibility.

Vyrn: Responsibility?

Seofon: That's right. Every member of the Eternals possesses tremendous power.

Seofon: Power that—if misused—could become an unspeakable threat.

Seofon: That's why I brought all of them together. I believe we have a responsibility to use our power for the sake of all the skies.

Seofon: What more suitable calling could there be for those in power?

Lyria: I agree wholeheartedly!

Vyrn: Wow, Seofon. You seem like a real joker, but you've given this a lot of thought, haven't you?

Seofon: Okay then. Enough serious talk for now...

Seofon: I'm begging you, (Captain)! Won't you let me see that revenant weapon of yours once more?

Vyrn: That was sudden... I can't get a read on this guy!

Lyria: He doesn't seem like a bad person though. Let him look at it!

(Captain) hands Seofon the sword.

Seofon: Goodness... There can be no mistake. This is one of the revenant weapons: the Seven-Star Sword!

Seofon: I never imagined I'd have the chance to lay eyes on one myself... Not in my lifetime.

Seofon: And not only that... Its wielder intends to awaken it.

Vyrn: Hey, Seofon. What's the big deal about this Seven-Star Sword anyway?

Seofon: Hm? The Seven-Star Sword is a legendary weapon said to be powerful enough to destroy the skies seven times over.

Lyria: That's pretty scary sounding...

Seofon: Don't worry about it! It hasn't been awakened yet, so it barely has any power at all.

Seofon: Mm... But I may just be bearing witness to a turning point in history!

Lyria: Um... Seofon?

Vyrn: Good grief... And just when I was starting to think he might be more than a mere weapon fanatic too.

Sierokarte: Seofon, are you doing okay as far as time goes?

Seofon: Huh? Oh no! At this rate I'm going to be late for the meeting!

Seofon: Until next time, (Captain)! Work hard—but not too hard!

With those words, Seofon hands the Seven-Star Sword back to (Captain) and disappears.

Lyria: He's gone...

Vyrn: Yup... Hard to get a handle on that guy.

Seofon, leader of the legendary crew known as the Eternals...

What does the encounter with him mean for (Captain)?
