She Who Wields the Stars
Zahlhamelina sees Lyria absorb the power of Leviathan and is wary. However, when she learns that (Captain) and crew are good people, she joins them to make sure no one takes advantage of their kindness.
The Erste Empire's development of weapons for war has led to the pollution of the sea. Auguste takes up arms against them to put a stop to the destruction of the environment.
Meanwhile the primal beast most intimate with the ocean, Leviathan, swallows one of the empire's battleships in its own revolt.
The strife within the sea caused by the soldiers of the empire brings chaos to the people of Auguste.
Fisherman: Dagnabbit! My boat's gettin' carried off. I have to get her ashore somehow.
Monster: Groar!
Fisherman: Aahh! What's a monster doin' here?
The monster bears down on the horror-stricken fisherman, but someone else is watching.
???: Look out!
Fisherman: Y-you saved me! Thank you!
???: I'm just glad I made it in time. Are you hurt?
Fisherman: I'm fit as a fiddle! Hey, aren't you that girl who came to buy fish? You're a priestess, right?
Zahlhamelina: That's correct. My name is Zahlhamelina.
Fisherman: Once all this settles down, I'll bring some fish to the inn where you're staying! As my way of saying thanks!
Zahlhamelina: Oh! Well, thank you very much.
Fisherman: Now, I better do something about these boats.
The fisherman hurries off to protect others like himself and their boats.
After the fisherman leaves, Zahlhamelina gazes at Leviathan's vengeful ascent.
Zahlhamelina: I thought Leviathan was known for the peace it brought to the Auguste sea.
Zahlhamelina: But with such rage, it now brings only fear and confusion to the people, animals, and even monsters.
Zahlhamelina: The great power of the primal beasts really is frighteningly dangerous.
With a stern look upon her face, Zahlhamelina continues watching Leviathan until she sees something unexpected.
Lyria: I'm sorry! That hurt, didn't it? But it's okay now. Come with me, Leviathan.
Zahlhamelina: ...!
That girl... Is she absorbing Leviathan's power?
That girl... Is she absorbing Leviathan's power?
Zahlhamelina: Is taking control of a primal beast even possible?
Zahlhamelina: If it is, then she's extremely dangerous. I can't even imagine what a person could do with a primal beast as their puppet.
Zahlhamelina: I can only hope that girl and those accompanying her are of a sound conscience.
As Zahlhamelina considers the situation, she sees the damage done by Leviathan, and her expression grows even bleaker.
Zahlhamelina: Great Astrals! Look at the destruction left in the beast's wake. I wonder if there's anything I can do to help.
Zahlhamelina joins the townspeople in the cleanup of the wreckage.
Zahlhamelina: Oh goodness. Look at this broken glass. I better move it all before someone steps on it.
Stall Owner 1: I'm so sorry. Here you are visiting Auguste, and now you find yourself helping with its cleanup.
Zahlhamelina: Please don't worry about me. I only mean to make myself useful.
As Zahlhamelina helps, a cheerful voice reaches her ears.
Vyrn: Hey, mister! Is this the bag you were looking for? It was caught on something over here!
Stall Owner 2: Yes, that's the one! You're a lifesaver, little lizard!
Vyrn: I ain't no lizard! But I can fly, and finding your bag from the air was no sweat!
Stall Owner 2: I appreciate it, little lizard. And you too, friendly skyfarer! Thanks for all your help!
Vyrn: Heh-heh! You would have done the same for us.
Zahlhamelina: That lizard... I think I saw it with that blue-haired girl.
Stall Owner 1: Oh, you must mean the lizard who hangs out with the skyfarers! What was his name... Varn?
Stall Owner 1: Those skyfarers are with Eugen. They help him patrol or something.
Stall Owner 1: They're young, but they're hardworking, and so well-mannered. I wish my fool son would take a page out of their book.
Zahlhamelina: I see. So they're good people.
Stall Owner 1: Yes, they're terrific!
Well, this area's all cleaned up. Thank you so much for your help!
Well, this area's all cleaned up. Thank you so much for your help!
Zahlhamelina says goodbye to the stall owner and walks off in search of anyone else who could use her assistance.
Zahlhamelina: Hm? Is that a child crying?
Boy: Waaah! Waaah!
Lyria: Are you all okay? Did you hurt yourself?
Boy: Sob... Mommy? Maaa-mmee! Where's Mommy?
Lyria: Oh! Have you lost your mommy?
Lyria: Let's go find her together, okay?
Boy: Sniff... Okay.
Zahlhamelina: There she is again!
Zahlhamelina stops in her tracks, surprised at the sight of Lyria and the boy walking off.
Lyria: Excuse me! Has anyone seen this boy's mother?
Boy: Maaa-mmee!
Lyria walks around with the boy for some time, but his mother is nowhere to be found.
Lyria: What do we do? I could really use (Captain) and Vyrn at a time like this.
Lyria: Sob... Where did everybody go?
Boy: You looking for somebody too?
Lyria: Uh-huh... You see, I got separated from my friends.
Lyria: Oh! But don't you worry! I'll get you back to your mother! I promise!
Boy: Okay. Thank you.
As Lyria and the boy walk closer together and continue their forlorn search, Zahlhamelina calls to them.
Zahlhamelina: Um... Excuse me. Would you two happen to be lost?
Lyria: Yes, we are. I think I can probably find my friends if I can get to the airship docks, but...
Lyria: I forgot how to get there.
Zahlhamelina: I see. The docks... I can show you the way if you like.
Lyria: Really?
Zahlhamelina: Yes. And you're looking for your mother, right, little one?
Boy: Y-yeah...
Zahlhamelina: I'm certain the townsfolk set up a place for lost items. There should be many people there.
Zahlhamelina: Let's go and ask if anyone has seen your mother.
Boy: Really? Do you think we'll find Mommy?
Zahlhamelina: Of course! So cheer up, all right? Both of you!
Boy: Okay!
Lyria: Okay!
Zahlhamelina shows them to the lost and found. One of the townspeople there recognizes the boy and reunites him with his mother.
After profusely being thanked by mother and child, Zahlhamelina and Lyria head for the docks.
Lyria: Oh! There! That's our airship!
Lyria dashes toward the ship, and (Captain), who has been looking for her, sees Lyria and runs in her direction.
Vyrn: Lyria! Where were you! You had us worried!
Vyrn: We just got here ourselves. We thought maybe you'd come back to the ship.
Lyria: Really? I'm so sorry...
Lyria: Sniff... But I'm so glad I found you!
Lyria: When I was lost, I started worrying that I'd never see you guys again. I was so scared!
Lyria sheds tears of happiness as (Captain) gives her a hug and lets out a deep sigh of relief.
Zahlhamelina: Hee-hee. I'm happy for you, Lyria.
Lyria: Thanks!
Oh, this is Zahlhamelina. She showed me how to get here!
Oh, this is Zahlhamelina. She showed me how to get here!
Zahlhamelina: It was nothing. Helping those in need is what any decent person would do.
Zahlhamelina: Hee-hee... Just as you helped the townsfolk, I'm sure you would have aided anyone who was lost.
Choose: Lyria might need a pet tag.
Vyrn: I can't believe you couldn't even remember how to get to the docks. You'll probably get lost again soon.
Lyria: No, I won't! I learned my lesson. I don't want to go through that ever again... Sniff...
Zahlhamelina: Oh no, Lyria! There, there. Don't cry.

Vyrn: I guess we owe you one for helping Lyria! How can we thank you?
Zahlhamelina: Oh, you don't need to.
Zahlhamelina tries to refuse, but (Captain) insists.
Zahlhamelina: Well, in that case, would you allow me to join you on your journey?
Lyria: What? You're a skyfarer?
Zahlhamelina: I wouldn't call myself a skyfarer, but I do journey the world to broaden my horizons. Would you be willing to take me on as an apprentice?
Vyrn: I don't see why not. We travel all over the place. If you wanna broaden your horizons, we got you covered!
Zahlhamelina: Thank you! I look forward to your company, (Captain).
Zahlhamelina: I hope to learn from your experience as well, Lyria. Please teach me all there is to know about being a skyfarer.
Lyria: Okay! I'll start by giving you a tour of the ship!
Zahlhamelina: Thank you very much. Hee-hee, you've really brightened my day.
Zahlhamelina: I can tell how close you all are, and I'm sure our adventures together will be exhilarating!
Thus Zahlhamelina joins the crew, and Lyria enthusiastically shows her around the airship.
Lyria: Zzz... Zzz...
Zahlhamelina: Hee-hee, what a lovely sleeping beauty. It's been a long day, so she must be exhausted.
Zahlhamelina: ...
Zahlhamelina: Lyria... And (Captain) too. They really are such kindhearted people.
Zahlhamelina: I'm sure they're trying to use their power to do what's right.
Zahlhamelina: But people may try to take advantage of their pure hearts for their own twisted purposes.
Zahlhamelina: I have to watch over them to make sure that doesn't happen; to make sure they never lose their sunny smiles.
Zahlhamelina makes a quiet resolution as she gazes at Lyria's peaceful face.
Unaware of the priestess's silent vow, (Captain) and Lyria dream blissfully on.
