Pre Mission

Maxima

Haaaaaa!

Maxima

If it were not for these undead, the cursed
Bergarians would be no match for us...!

Rizette

...I think you're doing just fine in your
efforts to cull the undead.

Rizette

That effort hasn't gone to waste.
I know it hasn't.

Maxima

Indeed...I suppose not. Their souls have
gone to a place far away from here.

Maxima

Not even my Lady of Flame can follow them.
I...hope that means they are gone.

Maxima

Or is someone...something, out there?
Calling them back to an unknowable place...

Rizette

...I don't know. But either way, fewer
enemies makes things easier for us.

Maxima

True. Our own force may be small, but...

Maxima

If we can but destroy the undead...we can
band together and finally restore Hymelia.

Rizette

...You're optimistic, all of a sudden.

Undead

......!

Maxima

As if it was not your own words that
reassured me, just now.

Rizette

Ah...

Maxima

I am not optimistic. The Barony is already
lost to the Bergarians, after all.

Maxima

I have just not given up. My people depend
on me. I cannot afford to—

Maxima

...A shadow? It looks odd.
Wha... What is that?!

Rizette

Maxima, what's gotten you so...

Hymelian Soldier

L-Look up!
Something's in the sky!

Rizette

What... What are those? Not birds or
dragons... And there's so many!

Rizette

Are they people? No, that can't be.
Is this some Bergarian trick?!

Maxima

There is no time to waste! We must
gather our forces and head for Rigland!

Maxima

Nnh...!

Rizette

Ah...!
Look where they flew off to!

Maxima

They are headed to Rigland...
Directly to the capital!

Rizette

Maxima...you're pushing yourself too hard.
Let me handle this one. You should rest—

Maxima

If I rest, who will cremate these filthy
undead?!

Rizette

Well, that's...!
You yourself should know your own limits!

Maxima

...Forgive me. Snapping at you will not help
the situation at all, I know.

Maxima

I simply...do not wish to see my former
comrades raised as undead slaves...

Rizette
