Keeper of Balance
The party runs into a mysterious girl with beautiful silver hair. Her mission is the expulsion and erasure of that which would throw the world off balance. (Captain) and company catch her attention when she finds them looking to stop the almighty primal beast Akasha. She goes by the name Zooey and asks to join the crew as one who shares common goals.
One day, (Captain) and the crew are in town for some shopping.
They finish and are about to head back to the airship when Lyria suddenly stops, tense.
Lyria: ...! I sense a primal beast... Huh? Is it a primal beast...?
Vyrn: Hm? What's got into you? What about a primal beast?
Lyria: Um, well, I thought I felt the presence of a primal beast... but maybe not...? Anyway, I know I feel something!
Lyria points toward the town's tavern. Though somewhat puzzled, the party decides to go in.
Vyrn: Oh... Wow.
Inside, (Captain) and the crew freeze, captivated by the sight in front of them.
And it's not only (Captain)—everyone in the tavern is staring at the same thing.
Silver-haired Girl: Om nom nom... Mmm... It really is very tasty, human food.
Blue Dragon: ... ...!
Silver-haired Girl: Haha, good point. It's not fair for me to enjoy this by myself. Open your mouth.
A girl with beautiful silver hair and a blue dragon seem detached from the world as they enjoy their meal.
The party watches the mysterious girl, fascinated. She notices them and smiles.
Silver-haired Girl: So we finally meet. Lyria, Vyrn. (Captain).
Lyria: What! How do you know our names?
Silver-haired Girl: Let's go, (Captain). I wouldn't mind chatting over a nice meal, but...
Silver-haired Girl: It's not a very pleasant topic ...Not something to talk about in public.
Though they can't help but be suspicious of the girl, the crew follows her outside the tavern.
Silver-haired Girl: I'm glad you came. I was starting to think I was waiting around for nothing.
Silver-haired Girl: I've been trying so hard to find you. I mean, I could have found you right away if I'd really wanted to, but...
Silver-haired Girl: I wanted to look around the human world. It's so full of allure and temptation. So, our chance encounter got put off.
Vyrn: Uhh...so...huh? Wait a second, Miss Flippy-Hair. You keep talking like we all know what's going on...
Vyrn: But how do you know our names? And you said you were looking for us...?
Silver-haired Girl: I'll answer your questions order. How do I know you? Well...
Silver-haired Girl: When I was looking at the world, your crew caught my eye. I took an interest in you.
Silver-haired Girl: You dared to oppose the unopposable. Hee hee, I find that fascinating.
Vyrn: O-oppose...? What are you talking about?
Silver-haired Girl: You know what I mean, don't you, (Captain)? The primal beast...Akasha.
The primal beast Akasha. The party turns tense the moment the name leaves the girl's lips.
Silver-haired Girl: It's impossible to fight against that beast. Just one awakening of Akasha destroys the world's balance.
Vyrn: H-how...can you know that...?
Silver-haired Girl: It's part of my mission. I am aware of all things that could possibly throw the world off balance.
Lyria: Your...mission?
Silver-haired Girl: The expulsion and erasure of that which would throw the world off balance... That is my mission.
Lyria: So you're... a primal beast? But what I feel from you isn't...
Silver-haired Girl: Hm, what am I... I never even thought about that little detail.
Silver-haired Girl: But if I have to be something...then I'm an ally of the world.
The girl spoke boldly, with an air of dignity. She looks intently at (Captain).
Silver-haired Girl: Let me answer your other question. Why I was looking for you? It's simple—because I'm interested.
Silver-haired Girl: Interested in (Captain), that is. So...I want to know more about you.
Silver-haired Girl: I want you to tell me everything about you.
Zooey gazes earnestly at (Captain).
At that moment, (Captain) feels a strange sensation and shudders. It's as if this girl can see into the mind—into the very soul.
Silver-haired Girl: Yes, yes. Very interesting. So you are planning to confront that beast. What a curious human...
Silver-haired Girl: ...So I have a proposal. I too want to stop Akasha from activating.
Silver-haired Girl: Will you let me go with you? I want you to fight with me.
Vyrn: Now just a darn second!
Silver-haired Girl: Hm? You don't like my proposal, Vyrn?
Vyrn: Well...I wouldn't say that, but... It's just all so sudden.
Vyrn: I know you said you're an ally of the world, but... What exactly are you?
Silver-haired Girl: That's...a difficult question. I told you before... I've never really thought about who I am.
Silver-haired Girl: ...A mediator for the world... Or should I say preventive force...? No, that doesn't sound right either. Hmm...
Silver-haired Girl: I'm sorry... I can't give you an answer to that question yet...
Vyrn: Like an apology will help... Hrrm. Well, she doesn't look like a bad person. What do you think, (Captain)?
Choose: Sure. I think it'll be fun.
Silver-haired Girl: Fun? Is that so. Haha, okay.
Silver-haired Girl: I think it'll be fun to be with you, too, (Captain).
Lyria: Hee hee. So do I. By the way... you haven't told us your name yet.
Choose: You start as an underling, got it?
Silver-haired Girl: An underling... Yes, you have a point. I am new here, after all.
Silver-haired Girl: That makes sense. Thank you for having me, Senior Companions. Or should I call you something else?
Vyrn: You actually believed that? And you just roll with the punches, don't you? (Captain) was just kidding with you!
Silver-haired Girl: I see. So that was a joke... Something only a mortal can do. You little trickster! You had me completely fooled.
Vyrn: Heh heh... I guess Miss Flippy-Hair takes things pretty seriously...
Vyrn: Hey. I just realized you haven't told us your name yet.

Silver-haired Girl: Name...? Name... Right, I need a name. Hrrm... What should I do...?
Vyrn: Huh? You mean...you don't have a name?
Silver-haired Girl: Well... I do, but...I don't know how to explain... Zee... No, Zoo...ey? Hrrm…
Lyria: Umm... Was that...Zooey? I'm sorry, can you say that again?
Zooey: Zooey. Zooey... Yes, that will work.
Vyrn: What?! Y-your name's really Zooey? What do you mean "that will work"?
Zooey: Yes, it's fine. My name isn't very important, anyway. Call me Zooey.
Lyria: Well, if you say so... I will call you that. It's nice to have you, Zooey!
Zooey: Thanks for letting me join you. Let's do everything we can to stop Akasha from activating.
Zooey smiles gently. Little does the party know how this mysterious girl will affect their journey.
Still, they are drawn to the girl with the mysterious charm and accept her as a new member of their crew.
