Vivi was working hard at trying to pry the lock when he saw Steiner. “I can't get it open... you're big and strong, help me!”


Garnet, now leaning against part of a destroyed fountain, shook her head.

“I know well of the war, and I would if I could return to Alexandria at this moment to end our part of it... but what would happen if we did return now? I can hardly stand... I would appear weak, and that would not help my urge for peace with Galdwin, a country that right now is considered our greatest enemy... I must present strength...”

Steiner hesitated.

"Hold on, Master Vivi! We must examine it for traps! It could be designed to hurt intruders, you know!"

He paused.

"Bah...I never thought I'd say this, but, um...we may need one of the thieves...there's that girl who doesn't know time and place or that brigand with a tail..." he said, thinking.

Didymus took a deep breath.

"Well, we could be sure to rest upon the way, but I suppose sometimes traveling can be hard on a person, and...I suppose it IS getting late...and arranging a mode of travel can be difficult, I mean, we'd have to get back to one of the larger islands, then look up a passage back to the mainland, or track down the airship pilot..."

He sighed.

"Lord forgive us if it be wrong, if you wish to camp out here for the night, Lady Garnet, I shan't force otherwise. I suppose we could start getting set up..."

He stood up, and looked around.

"This place is...eerie. But anyway..."

He started digging through their pack.

"Let me see...I suppose we restocked recently...what's there to eat...and I suppose I may actually want to look around later...this place...it looks like there was a battle here a while ago. I thought I could see rusted weapons and such as we approached, and this city looks more ruined than a town abandoned but a decade and a half would...but if you can, do not let that trouble you. I shall remain on guard in case that...thing...returns...but otherwise, ladies?"

He was addressing both Garnet and Yuna.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

He found some food in the pack, and pulled it out.

"Now, did we bring a tinder box...?"

Vivi nodded his head. “Oh oh! Zidane is good at picking locks!”

The small boy paused. “You don't like thieves very much, do you Mr. Steiner?”


Garnet smiled. “Thank you...”

She paused, and looked around. “It's not that eerie... this is my birthplace, Sir Didymus. I imagine once this was a brilliant and vibrant city... I wish I could remember that.”

She frowned a bit, leaning back.

“I wonder what it was that destroyed this place...”

“We would need an army to fight Amestries,” Spork frowned, “Otherwise...Well, let's get back to the base...”

-Unknown Woods-

Galv blushed back, watching as Melanie punched a tree.

He ran up to her, looking concerning.

“Me-Melanie...” Galv muttered, taking part of his shirt, ripping it into a shred, taking Melanie's arm.

He looked at her hand, then pulled out his bottle of water.

“H-hold still...” Galv stuttered, pouring the water over the wound, to wash out the bark. He then took the makeshift bandage, finally tying it over Melanie's hand. Galv knew some combat medicine from his Paladin training.

“Be-better?” he asked.

-Narroh Residence-

Ethan frowned a little at Rica, but was glad that Kanna seemed to care enough to look at his leg.

“I'll just need a few days to fully heal...” Ethan said, “I'll be fine...just a flesh wound...”

He didn't want to accept help from Rica, because he didn't want to be in the man's debt.

“And my name is Ethan Vire,” Ethan said at Rica, “Remember it...”

-Madain Sari-

“Uhhh, guys, you've got someone with a giant key,” Sora said to Vivi and Steiner, holding up his Keyblade, “I can open it with this.”

He pointed his weapon at the chest, a beam of light shooting it at the chest to open it!

“You don't like thieves very much, do you Mr. Steiner?”

Steiner paused.

"...no. Stealing is wrong." he said, simply.



“Thank you...”

Didymus paused.

She's smiling. She's actually smiling.

“It's not that eerie... this is my birthplace, Sir Didymus. I imagine once this was a brilliant and vibrant city... I wish I could remember that.”

Didymus paused.

"Birthplace or no, you do not find it strange to be camping amidst the ruins of a village? Still, I imagine that you are right...this probably was a vibrant city...I've read bits and pieces about the summoners here and there in Spiran and Galdwinian, and even a few Alexandrian accounts...they seems an honorable enough people...but what DID destroy them, I wonder, indeed? It...well, perhaps if we searched around we could uncover clues. But for now, please, rest..."

He started a fire. They were apparently in a sort of plaza or meeting ground, and there was an ideal place to start a fire in the center.

"...and it's good to see you smiling again." he added.

“Good idea.” Sama nodded, and he started off down the small, dark tunnel.

“You know, sooner or later, we'll have some good luck...”

Probably not.

[Narroh Residence]

Rica chuckled.

“A few days? Come now, surely you're smarter than that. If it takes you that long to heal... well, you're not going to be very useful in finding those kids, are you?”

His face suddenly turned a bit serious. “Anyway, are you so petty you can't accept help? Personally I don't mind... but if you can't walk, maybe it's best if Kanna and I go on ahead... alone...”

[Madain Sari]

Vivi grinned to Sora. “Thank you!”

The young mage looked into the chest, as it opened, and inside was a pile of old papers. “Oh... I expected gold...”


Garnet nodded. “I suppose I don't find it strange because everything has been strange to me... I grew up alone in a castle. Everything has been so strange, perhaps, I'm used to it now.”

She let out a small sigh, seemingly drained. “... I wonder if what destroyed them is connected to what is happening now?”

"Ah...Sora, thank you, my boy!" Steiner said, glad he needed not call on the aid of either of the two theives. They would have been sure to make an immature scene of it.

Steiner eyed the documents.

"Ah, what do they say, Master Vivi?" he asked.


“I suppose I don't find it strange because everything has been strange to me... I grew up alone in a castle. Everything has been so strange, perhaps, I'm used to it now.”


Didymus nodded.

"Alone, Lady Garnet? I...how sad." he said, thinking he knew or at least could imagine what her sheltered life was like.

"But does that mean you're enjoying this, or that you won't be used to your old life again?"


“... I wonder if what destroyed them is connected to what is happening now?”

Didymus shook his head.

"It wouldn't be surprising."

He walked up and sat down next to Garnet, a tad slowly, and heaved a sigh of his own, indicating his own weariness.

"It's been a long day, hmm? At least we're alright now."

Vivi paused, reading the papers to himself, and then he looked up to Steiner and Sora.

“... Apparently... it's someone's diary... from when this village was destroyed. I can't read everything, the papers are old and weathered... but it sounds like a woman with horns and green skin was here...”


Garnet smiled a bit.

“I'm enjoying this quite a bit... and besides... if I am to be Queen, it's best I had this adventure... getting to know you, and Vivi, and... even rifraf like Zidane! The truth is, I have a new outlook on the world... I truly feel as if I am a bit more fit to lead my people...”

She paused. “And admittedly... had it not been for you, Lady Chloe and Sir Cecil... I doubt I would think of Galdwin's people in a good light...”

Steiner was intrigued.

"Hmm? May I see it?" he asked.


“I'm enjoying this quite a bit... and besides... if I am to be Queen, it's best I had this adventure... getting to know you, and Vivi, and... even rifraf like Zidane! The truth is, I have a new outlook on the world... I truly feel as if I am a bit more fit to lead my people...”

"Well, good, I suppose." he paused. "Although how much do we really know Zidane or Vivi, I wonder? Enough to guess at their general natures, I suppose, but...on that subject, do we even know each other too well?"

He paused.

"I'd think so. We just skipped the details, if anything, and went right to the deepest parts of our personalities and who we are. At least, you did for me, but I confess I find myself still guessing at some of yours...still, if this is proving a learning experience for you, good, good, I think."

“And admittedly... had it not been for you, Lady Chloe and Sir Cecil... I doubt I would think of Galdwin's people in a good light...”

Didymus paused.

"I...well, I...I will confess, for my part, my image of an Alexandrian lady was...not you...Lady Garnet. Perhaps not, at least. But...is that what they would have taught you? To...look in such a manner on us? If so...well, I'm glad that you've been shown otherwise, it's an honor to have played such a role in that. And on that subject, I suppose...it's been an honor and a blessing to have been able to escort and get to know you personally. I...it's..."he looked over at her, then leaned back and took a deep breath.

"...I thank Him, and count it as a blessing."

Vivi handed the papers to Steiner. Most of it was illegible, but there was a small patch readable, speaking of a woman with large horns and green skin, who transformed into a dragon and ravaged the entire landscape.


Garnet paused, thinking.

“Perhaps I don't know them too well... but they have all been willing to fight dangerous people and creatures. They have all risked their lives, not necessarily because they believe in my leadership... but because they wanted to help.”

She paused as he continued.

“It's just... you, and they... you've all been willing to fight on my behalf. You've protected my life... I never imagined someone from Galdwin, much less a Paladin, would ever do that for a mage... much less the Princess of Mages.”

She looked up at the sky. “The truth is... I feared Galdwin when I came to them for help. I know Galdwin shuns the use of magic, and decries it as an abomination... there are many in Alexandria who fear Galdwin because they fear they would strip us of our magic... I was one of them. Now... at least, from what you've shown me... I believe there is a chance for our peoples to live in peace.”

She paused. “Perhaps that is a blessing.”

Steiner puzzled over the writings.

"Interesting..." he said. "...I'm sure the princess would want to see this..."



“It's just... you, and they... you've all been willing to fight on my behalf. You've protected my life... I never imagined someone from Galdwin, much less a Paladin, would ever do that for a mage... much less the Princess of Mages.”


Didymus looked on.

""Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."" he quoted. "I'm sure you're familiar with that. This isn't about magic, Lady Garnet. I..." he chuckled.

"...on the boat, I had a long discussion with Yuna about this...she wanted to know what I was doing here. Where is she, anyway...?" he glanced around for a bit, before continuing.

“The truth is... I feared Galdwin when I came to them for help. I know Galdwin shuns the use of magic, and decries it as an abomination... there are many in Alexandria who fear Galdwin because they fear they would strip us of our magic... I was one of them. Now... at least, from what you've shown me... I believe there is a chance for our peoples to live in peace.”


"Hm...well, again, you know that I am no deviant from that decrying. I do sincerely believe you are mistaken about its nature and its use...and I know you sincerely believe that I am mistaken about that, but...that's not what this is about. Not ultimately, at least. This is, again, about doing unto others as I'd have done unto me. Just because we think you're wrong about a something-and indeed it's an important thing-doesn't mean it's right to just let your country burn. So many lives are tied to your own, Lady Garnet-both from Galdwin AND Alexandria-and safeguarding you seems like, perhaps, the best way to secure a brighter future for all...this is about showing love and Godly virtue. And Galdwin wants to love its neighbor, despite the differences. Besides, again, your safety means a lot for Galdwin, too."

He paused.

"I hope you don't mind if I got a tad evangelical there. I AM a Paladin. Anyway, yes, you're right. I think we CAN live in peace. The Order thinks so. Galdwin thinks so. I'm glad you see things that way, as well."

“Perhaps that is a blessing.”

"Perhaps? Perhaps, lady? What is your hesitation there, if I may ask?"

He paused, looking up at the darkening sky.

"Or if you wish not to talk of that, what is on your mind? You wished to rest, so what now would bring you rest and relaxation?"

“Errr, if you're worried about stealing, opening that chest up with my Keyblade really doesn't make a difference between just breaking or picking that lock,” Sora said to Steiner.

Then Vivi mentioned the papers saying something about a green skinned woman with horns.

“...Malificent...” Sora said, his eyes widening, “That woman, back on Destiny Islands! That paper, it's describing her!”

-Narroh Residence-

“Even injured I can still run circles around you,” Ethan scowled at Rica, “Don't count me out...”

Vivi paused.

“Is it really considered stealing when the owners are probably long dead?” Vivi wondered. “We're more like... archeologist!”

He was now envisioning a whip and a hat.

[…]

“This is, again, about doing unto others as I'd have done unto me. Just because we think you're wrong about a something-and indeed it's an important thing-doesn't mean it's right to just let your country burn.”

Garnet frowned a bit. “Alexandria is Amestris' ally... so if it came to an all out war, it would be Galdwin burning our country... but I think I understand what you mean.”

"Or if you wish not to talk of that, what is on your mind? You wished to rest, so what now would bring you rest and relaxation?"

Garnet paused, thinking. “I doubt there is any real rest for me as long as Alexandria is in the midst of a massive war, allied with a insane country... and especially when I don't even know what is happening there.”

She frowned a bit, and leaned back. “... If I had the strength to travel, I would go there now... but in the meanwhile, all I can do is sit and worry...”

She paused. “When I assume the throne... I will need to meet with Galdwin's leader's as soon as possible. I will also have to contact the Fuhrer...”

She frowned once more. “I suppose this isn't really the end at all, is it?”

[Narroh Residence]

Rica chuckled.

“It's no secret I'm a complete bastard... but even a bastard can lend a helpful hand.”

Steiner paused, considering this issue.

"At any rate, I'm sure the princess would be interested in seeing these documents. We can return them when she has examined them." he said.

---

“I doubt there is any real rest for me as long as Alexandria is in the midst of a massive war, allied with a insane country... and especially when I don't even know what is happening there.
...if I had the strength to travel, I would go there now... but in the meanwhile, all I can do is sit and worry...”


Didymus nodded.

"I understand, I think, and perhaps I can't really blame you, not that much, at least, for feeling so tense and having such a hard time finding peace...I can get anxious myself, though I think scripture advises 'gainst that...but is there anything that I can do to help you be able to actually rest and find comfort this evening, lady? Please...if we're not to be traveling now, we may as well seek relief from burden, at least for the evening, right? A restless night stopped won't do much good, I may guess..."

“When I assume the throne... I will need to meet with Galdwin's leader's as soon as possible. I will also have to contact the Fuhrer...”

She frowned once more. “I suppose this isn't really the end at all, is it?”


Didymus paused.

"...of course it isn't. But progress has apparently been made. Can we add but one day to our lives with worry, lady? Please, I urge you, let us try to relax and enjoy ourselves in this time."

He paused.

"...it's so quiet here...I'm not sure I find it discomforting or peaceful...though I suppose I prefer it this way-were such a seemingly empty place as this filled with noise we could not place I would never have agreed to camp here."

He chuckled, looking over at her, trying to smile.

GRAPPLING HOOK!

Narroh Residence

"Oh will you two shut up?!" Kanna snapped, smacking Ethan's injured leg and glaring dagger at Rica...She really wasn't amused by either man....Especially because she knew she was the object of their affections.

It was creepy.

"I need to find Melanie. With or without you. The wedding can't be put off much longer."

For some reason she still wanted to marry poor Melanie off.

Unknown Woods

Melanie withdrew her hand, looking down at the bandage that Galv wrapped around her....

".....It does feel better...Sorta" Melanie stated, calming down a tiny bit. Her face was going a bit pink. "Let's head towards the city....Get this stuff fixed..."

Central Underground

"Yeeeaaaah...I'm not betting on it" Crystal muttered "Come on, I wanna see Hammah and make sure he's okay..."
