Entering the inn in the Highway Village:
[Futch bumps into Riou as he hurries out the door.]
Futch:
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry!"
[The innkeeper isn't at the front desk. Head back to the dining room.
Lucy, the innkeeper, comes down the stairs and speaks to a man
(Humphrey) who is standing, facing the wall, in the far corner.]
Lucy:
"There you are, Sir Humphrey! Say, would you like to go outside where
it's warmer?"
Humphrey:
"No. . . . . This is fine. Sorry I've stayed here so long."
Lucy:
"No, don't worry about it! You've promptly paid for your lodgings, and I
know the war's a problem for all travellers. It's Harmonia you're
heading for, Sir Humphrey? I guess the roads are closed because of the
war..."
Humphrey:
"Yes. . . . . .. . . . . . ."
[Lucy leaves him and goes to the front desk. Riou is free to talk to
the people at the inn.]
Blonde man at table:
"There's a library In Harmonia's Crystal Valley called the 'Great
Shrine' Lots of people searching for knowledge head there."
Pacing man:
"I had planned to go to Muse and start a new trade mission... But I
don't dare go to Muse now..."
Maid:
"Sir Humphrey sure is quiet. But not in a cold sort of way... He's
just shy. Probably."
Humphrey:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
[Scene fades to outside. Futch is waiting behind some hay bales and
dairy equipment. A boy in a brown cap (Kent) runs up to him.]
Futch:
"You're late. Where have you been?"
Kent:
"Sorry, sorry. My mom caught me and made me help with the chores."
Futch:
"Chores. . . . . ?"
Kent:
"Hey Futch! You were a Dragon Knight, right?"
Futch:
"Huh? Uh, yeah... Ninth Rank, though, Just a Dragon Knight Apprentice."
Kent:
"So, so... You've flown? Flown in the skies? On a dragon!?"
Futch:
"Of course! I was born in a Dragon Cave! I've spent more time in the
skies than on the ground!"
Kent:
"Wow, really? Really!? That's awesome!!!"
Futch:
"It's true. Here's the proof."
Kent:
"Is this... A Dragon scale? Whoah... That's cool! Hey, can I see
that? I want to show it to my mom!"
Futch:
"Yeah, sure. But it means a lot to me, so don't lose it."
Kent:
"I'll be super careful! Wow, it must feel great to fly... That's so
cool, Futch..."
Futch:
"But... But... My dragon... Black was his name... He died... He died
protecting me... A Dragon Knight without a dragon is nothing. I can't
go back to the Dragon Cave, I can't fly..."
Kent:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . But... But... Aren't you and Humphrey
on a quest to find a new dragon?"
Futch:
"Y... Yeah..."
Kent:
"So some day, some day soon, you'll get another dragon, and you'll be a
Dragon Knight again! Futch, when that day comes, when you're a Dragon
Knight again, will you let me fly with you?"
Futch:
"To fly again... Yeah. . . . . If... If I get a new Dragon, Kent,
you'll be the first person I give a ride to. We'll come flying over the
mountains and land right in front of your house!"
Kent:
"Really!? DO you promise? Do you promise me, Futch?"
Futch:
"Yeah. . . . . It's a promise. . . . ."
[Scene fades back to Riou and Humphrey.]
Humphrey:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Riou:
[ ] "So, uh... Where are you from?"
[ ] "Weather sure is nice today, huh?"
[x] ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
It is actually possible to have a real conversation with Humphrey--one
in which he says stuff--but I forgot which questions to ask for this
play-through. I'll have to do it later. Still, I think the silent
conversation is amusing.
Humphrey:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Riou:
[ ] "Where are you going?"
[ ] "My, what a big sword!"
[x] ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Humphrey:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Riou:
[ ] "Why Harmonia?"
[ ] "Think it'll be nice tomorrow?"
[x] ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Humphrey:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
[Lucy approaches them.]
Lucy:
"Well, it looks like you two were having quite a talk. So, would you
like to stay here tonight?"
[Humphrey walks past Riou, pauses a moment in front of Lucy, and the
leaves.]
Lucy:
"Mr. Humphrey said that talking to you was 'nice. . . . .' To express
his gratitude, he paid for your lodgings tonight."
[Scene fades to Riou standing beside his bed the next morning. Go
downstairs. Approach Humphrey.]
Riou:
[x] "Thank you for last night."
[ ] ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Humphrey:
"Never mind. . . . . . . . . . ."
Leaving the inn:
[Riou pauses outside of the inn and looks over towards where Futch was
waiting for Kent the day before. He sees Kent and a guy in a big straw
hat.]
Kent:
"Really? Are you sure?"
Hat guy:
"Of course I'm sure! There's no way I could be wrong! Rakutei Mountain
is a long ways north of here, but my friend went there and said he heard
a dragon! And my wife's brother said he saw a dragon's shadow in the
clouds!"
Kent:
"Really? REALLY!?! Awesome! I have to go see for myself!!!"
[Kent runs off.]
Hat guy:
"What!? You can't go there!! That mountain is full of monsters! Geez,
he's already ran off..."
[The guy walks off. Riou is free to move about. If he goes back to the
inn to talk to Humphrey:]
Humphrey:
"Did he go somewhere...?"
Riou:
[x] "I'm a little worried..."
[ ] "Yeah... Let's go."
Humphrey:
"Okay. . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
[Futch enters.]
Futch:
"Where did that Kent kid go? He isn't at home... Geez, I guess we'll
have to wait 'til tomorrow."
[Futch heads upstairs. If you follow him to his room:]
Futch:
"I'm tired, so let's do it later."
[Go down and talk to the innkeeper, Lucy.]
Lucy:
"You're staying another night? My, it looks like you've taken to our
little town! Rest well!"
[In the morning, head downstairs. The screen scrolls to show Lucy,
Humphrey, Futch, the hat guy, and two other people.]
Futch:
"Oh no!!! Kent... Kent... Kent didn't come home last night!"
Lucy:
"It's not like him to run away..."
[Riou joins the group. The guy with the hat is alarmed to see Riou.]
Hat guy:
"!!!"
[He starts to leave.]
Riou:
[x] "Um... That kid..."
[ ] ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
[The hat guy jumps and sweattles. Fade to scene of the group talking to
Hat Guy in the dining area of the inn.]
Hat guy:
"It's just a rumor but..."
Humphrey:
"A rumor?"
Hat guy:
"Kent just couldn't stop talking about dragons, and someone said they
saw one at Mt. Rakutei..."
Lucy:
"Mt. Rakutei... But that area is crawling with powerful monsters! Why
would he..."
Futch:
"This is my fault... Because I told him about Black... Because I
promised him a ride... Now Kent's in trouble..."
Humphrey:
"Let's go. . . . . . . . . . . ."
Futch:
"Huh?"
Humphrey:
"Don't you want to go save him?"
Futch:
"Of... Of course!!!"
Riou:
[x] "To return the favor, I'll come."
[ ] ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Futch:
"Huh? Who are you?"
Lucy:
"It's Mr. Riou, Sir Humphrey's new friend!"
Futch:
"Humphrey has friends...?"
Humphrey:
"Thanks for your help, Lord Riou."
Futch:
"We'd better hurry."
Lucy:
"Rakutei Mountain is north of this town. Don't get lost."
[Humphrey and Futch join the party. Head to the mountain.]
At the base of the mountain:
Humphrey:
"Lord Riou, please be careful... Monsters are lurking everywhere."
Futch:
"Hold on, Kent! We're coming to save you."
[The fog does the weird thing it does which takes you back to the
beginning of the mountain. Humphrey looks around.]
Humphrey:
"This mist..."
Futch:
"What's going on? We'll never make it now! If we don't hurry, Kent..."
Humphrey:
"What is this? A magic barrier?"
Futch:
"What should we do..."
"Black... Please help me, Black..."
[Riou's Bright Shield Rune suddenly clears the mist away.]
Futch:
"The mist! The mist is receding! Did you do that, Sir Riou?"
Humphrey:
"The Rune's power... Let's go..."
[And now, a long way up a really annoying mountain... Eventually, they
reach a large clearing just beyond a save point, so you know something's
going to happen... They see Kent collapsed on the ground.]
Futch:
"Kent! That's Kent over there!"
Humphrey:
"Wait!"
[They are attacked by a very ugly--and very pink--Harpy. They fight.]
Kent:
"You came to save me, Futch?"
Futch:
"There's no dragons here... That rumor was total bull. You should know
better, Kent."
Kent:
"But what if there was...? And if I had a friend who was a Dragon
Knight, I could be proud."
Futch:
"That's why..."
Kent:
"And I heard it! The dragon cry everyone else talked about! It's real!
And it's just above here. That's why I ran up here! Then I fell and
twisted my leg..."
[Kent stands.]
Kent:
"It's okay now. There, ya see?
Riou:
[x] "How did you get here?"
[ ] "Let's hurry back."
Kent:
"Look, it's Black's scale, the charm Futch gave to me! When I prayed to
it, the mist lifted! So there must be a dragon here!"
Futch:
"Black's scale... So that's what... But what's important is that you're
safe. Let's go home."
Kent:
"No, Futch!!! I said I heard the dragon's cry! Last night, there was a
tremendous beating of wings, and a cry that could split stone! It was
just ahead! There might be a dragon right there! Let's see!"
Futch:
"There's no way there'd be a dragon around here!!! And even if there
was..."
Kent:
"But, what if there is?"
Futch:
"Even if there was. . . . ."
Humphrey:
"Let's go see. . . . . Lord Riou, will you stay with us a bit longer?"
Futch:
"There's no dragon here..."
Kent:
"Come on, hurry up Futch!"
[Kent leaves. Riou and company follow. Kent is standing in front of a
giant egg in a nest surrounding by burbling and steaming hot mud.]
Futch:
"That... That's..."
Kent:
"I was right! It's an egg! A dragon's egg! It has to be!!!"
Futch:
"Dragons only lay their eggs in Dragon Caves."
Kent:
"Then what's that? There's no other egg that looks like that! With
this, you can be a real Dragon Knight again!!!"
[Futch approaches the egg.]
Futch:
A dragon's egg..."
[Humphrey approaches Futch.]
Humphrey:
"Captain Joshua of the Dragon Knights told me once... Even though
dragons only lay eggs in Dragon Caves, once in a while a 'wild dragon'
appears... If we could find out why, we could probably breed new types
of dragons. I was headed to the 'Great Shrine' in Crystal Valley to try
to find out more about that, but.... But I never expected that in a
place like this...."
Kent:
"Quickly, come over here Futch."
Futch:
"But. . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Kent:
"Look at it, Futch! It's a new dragon!"
Futch:
"No!!!"
"I... I... I don't need a dragon! Lord McDohl, Kent..... They were all
so nice to me. Everyone was all concerned about me and hoping they
could help me find another dragon... That's why I couldn't tell them
the truth.... I don't want to ride on any dragon besides Black!!! He
was the only one for me....."
[Humphrey walks up to the egg and takes out his sword.]
Humphrey:
"So I guess you don't need this egg or the beast asleep inside. I'll
use my sword to destroy it."
Riou:
[x] "What!? WHY?"
[ ] "...Maybe that's best..."
Kent:
"What's going on? Why would you do that?"
Humphrey:
"Dragon Pups are weak creatures. With no mother of Knight to care for
it, it will weaken and die. And if it did live, but without a master,
it would be no more than a monster that terrorizes humans."
Kent:
"That's why you need to care for it! Come on Futch! Stop him!!!"
Futch:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Kent:
"Stop him Futch!!!"
[Kent turns to Riou.]
Kent:
"Then you stop it, Mister! It's a Dragon's Egg... After all we've gone
through..."
Futch:
"Wait, Sir Humphrey!!!"
[Futch runs up to Humphrey, looks up at him, then looks at the egg. The
egg decides to have perfect timing and hatches. Inside is a terribly
cute white dragon with really big dark eyes. It hops down from the nest
and looks up at Futch.]
Kent:
"It's... It's a dragon... It's so small... Futch?"
Futch:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Humphrey:
"I've never seen such a small dragon. And I've never even heard of a
white dragon..."
Kent:
"But it's still a dragon, right? Yeah, it has to be! Don't you think
so, Futch?"
Futch:
"But... I don't need..."
Come on, Futch, we know you can't resist the cutie baby dragon.
Humphrey:
"Then why stop me, Futch?"
Futch:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Humphrey:
"It wouldn't be a betrayal to have a new dragon. My memories of Black's
death are precious, but I won't have to forget that. And it's no reason
to close the door to the future."
Futch:
". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Kent:
"Futch. . . . . . . . . . . ."
[Futch kneels down by the dragon.]
Futch:
"...There's nothing to be afraid of... Come here..."
"I christen you 'Bright'."
[Fade to the base of the mountain.]
Humphrey:
"Thank you, Lord Riou. I would like to repay your favor. If we can
ever be of assistance to you, please ask."
Riou:
[x] "Will you fight with us?"
[ ] ". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Humphrey:
"Of course. For you, I will wield this sword again."
Futch:
"I, Futch, Former 9th Rank Dragon Knight, will fight by your side."
[Fade to in front of the inn in the Highway Village.]
Kent:
"Fight hard, Futch!"
Futch:
"Don't worry about me, Kent. Hey, the next time we meet, I'll be a
Dragon Knight again."
Kent:
"Really!? Don't forget your promise!!!"
Futch:
"I won't!"
Kent:
"Okay. . . . ."
"Ok, I almost forgot! Here, it's Black's scale. I'll give it back
now."
Futch:
"You keep that, Kent. As proof of my promise."
Kent:
"Really? Is it really okay? Wow! I... I'll treasure it! And I'll
look forward to the day you come with your dragon!"
Futch:
"You do that! I swear that I will return as a Dragon Knight."
Humphrey:
"Let's go. . . . . . . . . . . ."
Futch:
"Yeah. Take it easy, Kent!"
Kent:
"Bye, Futch!"
