Gnomeday, Gnome-Decan 2, ND2018
I was worried it'd be back to the old boring days, but when I woke up I
was told to go to the castle because Gwen was calling me. It looks like I
won't be confined again after all. I wonder what happened to make them let me
out...? Well, whatever the reason, at least I get to go out. I wonder if
Gwen's heard anything about Master Kyo? Guess I'll hit the castle and find
out.
I ran into Kitten and Lahari whispering something to each other at the castle
entrance.
They were saying something about the Seventh Fonstone... Is that the Score
that Kitten's looking for? Then Lahari noticed me, but he seemed to be in a
better mood than yesterday. He told me Emrls was in the audience hall. He
REALLY bugs me.
I entered the audience hall with Lahari and Kitten, and Emrls was waiting
inside. Uncle and Father were both there, and they told me to go to the town
of Akzeriuth in Malkuth as a goodwill ambassador from Kimlasca.
Apparently there's a bunch of miasma coming out from underground there,
and the people of the town are in bad shape. The road to Akzeriuth on the
Malkuth side is unusable and it's only reachable from Kimlasca, so Malkuth
was asking for help. They said that if we save Akzeriuth, it would be a good
step toward peace.
To be honest, it sounds like a real pain and I didn't want to accept it,
but they said they'd free Master Kyo if I did, so I gave in. Then Uncle told
me something unbelievable.
He said I'm the hero read in Crystal's Score.
Crystal's Score contains the world's future, and a part of the Sixth
Fonstone that contains that Score is held by the Kimlasca-Lanvaldear royal
family. According to it, one of the royal family with red hair who inherits
Sol's power will lead the Kingdom of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear to prosperity.
In other words, me.
If I go to Akzeriuth, Crystal's Score will come true, and Kimlasca will
prosper. This is why they were keeping me in confinement, too. So if I go
along with this and become a hero, I'll no longer have to be imprisoned in my
own manor. Sounds good to me!
It's not just me going to Akzeriuth--Kitten and Emrls are coming too. And
they said I could take Christian and Master Kyo along with me too. Yes! Now I can
finally go on a trip with Master Kyo! He's in the underground cell--I can't
wait to see him!
When I got to the underground cell, Master Kyo had just been released.
There, I found out the true meaning of the Score.
There was more to Crystal's Score than what I'd heard in the audience hall.
It says my power will cause calamity, and be used as a weapon of Kimlasca. So
that's why Master Kyo said I was being held as a weapon...
The Order of Sol seems to believe that my presence will cause a war
between Malkuth and Kimlasca, and Master Kyo was trying to keep me from being
used as a tool of war. Here's his plan.
First, I'll go to Akzeriuth as a goodwill ambassador. The Score says that
the war happens when I move people out of Akzeriuth, so instead of doing
that, I'll use hyperresonance to destroy the miasma in the town. Then,
instead of returning to Kimlasca, I'll follow Master Kyo to Daath. That way,
Kimlasca won't be able to use me.
Master Kyo's great! He's always thinking of me. I asked him why, and he
told me about something from my past that I've forgotten.
When I was young, I was put through lots of cruel experiments because of
my hyperresonance power, and so I asked Master Kyo to take me to Daath. He
tried to take me from the manor once to fulfill my wish. So that kidnapping
that everybody says was Malkuth's work was actually Master Kyo trying to save
me.
Master Kyo said he'll make sure we get away this time. So I promised to
keep the plan a secret, and we headed out of the castle to rejoin everybody
else.
When we rejoined everybody outside, Emrls had a real downer for us. He said
the Oracle Knights were patrolling the sea, and that it was probably Lahari
trying to stop me from getting to Akzeriuth. Man, what the hell! What a
pain... What's with those guys?
Emrls suggested putting out a decoy ship and traveling over land to
Konoha instead.
Master Kyo agreed, and then said he'd ride on the decoy ship with the rest
of the aid team. He said that it would make the decoy more convincing, but I
want to stay with him!
He wouldn't listen to me, though, and we ended up having to travel
separately. So I'm stuck with the four-eyed devil, the cold-blooded girl, and
Christian... It doesn't get any more boring than this. We should be able to rejoin
Master Kyo once we get to Chesedonia, so we'll have to hurry.
On the way out of Baticul, we ran into Saiyukiness. She said Sion's disappeared.
According to an eyewitness, the Dark Wings kidnapped him and took him out of
the city. Those Dark Wings sure like to cause trouble! Saiyukiness tried to leave
Baticul to find him, but Evan is keeping watch over the exit.
So now if we tried to leave Baticul, Evan would notice us and the Oracle
Knights would know the ship's a decoy.
That left us without a way out, but then Christian suggested going to an
abandoned factory in the old city. We might be able to get outside through
it. He said there's an aircar that we can ride to the factory. Saiyukiness decided
to come along to search for Sion, so the five of us headed for the aircar
platform.
