Ahh... another blessed day on our sacred island. |
On this day, as on all days, I thank the Goddess for her grace in granting us this bountiful land to dwell upon. |
|
|
Good day, Helen! May the Goddess guide you! |
|
|
Good day, Polyta! I should hope your patrols went well? |
I did encounter something unusual this morning. |
|
|
I was scouting out by the mountain, when I saw what appeared to be two monsters lurking near the palms. |
There was a particularly fluffy kobold, and some kind of... woman-serpent. |
|
|
Indeed... I headed back here to gather our allies and fortify our defenses. It did not seem wise to confront them on my own, before we knew if they were friend... or foe. |
We should prepare ourselves. It might not be long before interlopers reach town. |
|
|
* Hiiiiiii!!!
* Sorry we startled you! |
|
|
* I'm not.
* Love the cape, by the way. |
|
|
What the-- who-- who are you!? |
|
|
* Ahaha, you knowww!
* We're just a pair of mystical travellers, from across the veil! |
|
|
* Totally unarmed, Don't worry.
* It's just us and our winning personalities. |
|
|
* We travel between worlds, seeking the knowledge of the universe, and bringing a message of peace for all whom we encounter~! |
|
|
Ah-- I see. And your names? |
|
|
* And I'm, um-- my name is--! |
|
|
* Coral!
* Coral Mundy. A pleasure to make your acquaintance! |
|
|
Ah... greetings, Coral. And you too, Sunny. |
My name is Polyta. I am the Knight of Hollidae, responsible for the protection of our home and her inhabitants. |
And this here is Eladea, Chief Acolyte of the Love Goddess. |
|
|
May the Goddess guide you. |
|
|
I must apologise for the unwelcome reception, things have been tense ever since the last attack. |
Or. I've been tense, at least. Sometimes it can feel like I'm the only one who... anyway. |
What brings you two here, of all places? |
|
|
* Ah! You see, we're searching for my father, who's recently gone missing. |
|
|
* Her Dad's a ghost by the way. |
|
|
* Yeah he's a ghost.
* And we found some indications that he may have come this way!
* We'd hate to intrude, but...
* Would it be too much trouble if we just had a look around? |
|
|
What do you think, Eladea? |
|
|
...Normally, only those specifically invited by the Goddess would make landfall at Hollidae. |
|
|
They ARE here to find her father. |
|
|
This is true... the Goddess would never wish us to obstruct a cause driven by Love. |
|
|
And... it might be nice to talk with some outsiders for a change... |
|
|
I don't know guys I'm uh getting a bad vibe off of these two |
|
|
Like, sure, I get they're acting friendly, and they got a pretty sweet fashion sense, but maybe we should err on the safe side here, huh? |
What if they're, infiltrators for Proteus or something? Or maybe they got a grudge against us! |
|
|
Maybe it's like, and this is y'know, just maybe, but maybe they think one of us has... wronged them, somehow(?) -- I wouldn't even know why -- and they've come to this island to, y'know, get their revenge as soon as I let my guard down. |
|
|
* That's a very. Particular. Hypothetical you've got there. |
|
|
* I'm sure this is just a biiig misunderstanding.
* I don't see a reason why we can't just talk this out, hey?
* Just a friendly, little... |
