So, Luke's first Arte is Fang Blade; he can make seven of those, till he gets tired...
Would meet Master Van at Courtyard, for a goodbye training exercise; really?
Guy and Master Van, know something, that Luke does not; Guy will keep an eye on Luke, for the time being.
What?!
A new beginning; just a little while, and...
As for right now, the training will start, it needs progressing!
Ready sir!
Wow, Master Van thinks Luke won't be fighting in his life; Luke just wants to learn some cool moves, to show off; once he is able to go Outside the Mansion that is!
Training against a Dummy, can it be any easier than this?
So plain and simple, and the wooden sword...
While defending, can jump away from an opponent; a swift counter-attack, can follow after the jump; a good way, of avoiding, and following with an attack!
A Fang Blade Arte; this dummy, will be in so much pain soon!
Best combos, is when combining artes, with regular attacks.
Lots more artes, to learn in the future...
A voice, it's effecting Master Van!
Luke, hold on; he has been paralyzed; Guy, what will happen next?
Guy is nearly asleep, as well, as the most guards in the Mansion.
Tear, she came to kill Master Van; and she missed!
The Seventh Fonon; something, that has been bothering Luke, for a while now.
Two Fonons, reacted?
Anyway, Luke has vanished in thin air!
Tear is being too nice to Luke; so, why kill Van; she said something like, traitor...
Resonance; the same wavelength; when two of the same meet, they become stronger; in this case, they both couldn't control the forces, which have been involved.
And of course, it's all new to Luke; Tear shouldn't even bother explaining it, all at once.
Well, Tear realized, that it would take too long explaining to Luke, who doesn't know anything; and then...
Tear will escort Luke to the Manor, okay; and Luke's wish finally came true, he is out of the Manor, hm.
This ravine, so many flowers; and a cliff, and the sea, and the wind gusts...
Yeah, let's just look for a road; roads usually connect to something; and usually, roads are a way to travel, between populated areas.
Tataroo Valley...
And we are looking, for a river, which will guide us to the sea!
Tear can put opponents to sleep; she can also heal allies, in this situation, that would be Luke!
So, a Backstep Skill, allows to jump backwards.
Tear will mostly use Fonic artes; which is normal, since she doesn't have Strike artes yet.
Let's get a taste of some real battles; training Dummies every time are boring!
Monsters; in the bushes...
And the first fight, we won!
Great, next to be defeated...
Tear's reasons will be kept a secret for the time being.
How about improving?
Let's take care of the strategy first!
Luke will attack opponents nearby, and Tear will help Luke with the same opponent.
Luke will concentrate on attacking, with all his might; and can use any Items, as he pleases!
Tear, will be holding back, so she can heal.
And Tear will perform her Over Limit, from a distance.
Can fight Monsters, with caution in mind.
Oh, a river; follow the stream...
Will attack from behind!
Luke learned a new skill, Recover; so he wouldn't be knocked down, when faced with a tough opponent.
The strategy is working, somehow...
Yes, this is nature, can hear all the sounds of the forest at night; eerie, and so peaceful.
Luke used up all the Orange gels; what a waste; he should use healing items, like Apple Gels instead.
From now on, Tear will be in charge of Orange Gels!
A few Monsters ambushed us; shouldn't be difficult; as good as is, the condition.
Was too easy; those walking plants, didn't have any fighting power in them!
Luke is better off using Apple Gels, if Tear won't be able to heal him, then, he will heal himself!
Venturing through the woods, trying to find a way out, to Town, or a Village of some sort.
Tear will be using all the Items she desires to use; because she will not overuse them.
And Luke should be more concerned about defeating Monsters, than using Items; Apple Gels are exception.
A treasure chest; found Cape in it.
Cape will be equipped by Luke, he desperately needs defense of any kind!
A little waterfall, and a powerful one too.
A fork in the road; where to go?
The boar-looking monsters are tough, can knock down, if they attack.
A way out of the forest; and not to be, as a scared man appears to be frightened by one thought: the Dark Wings!
A Coachman; he can probably take us to the Capitol!
Payment in advance; and the money, didn't teleported with us either...
If we go now, won't get the chance to get those treasure chests, that are located on the other side of the waterfall; really need to get back!
Found 400 Gald; Gald, is currency here.
Fighting a Mandractus plant, it didn't had time to react...
Rhinossus, a boar-like Monster; can be fast, when charges ahead.
And jumped away, with a counter-attack follow up, and the monster is defeated!
Near a waterfall, a treasure chest with a Life Bottle; revive!
No monsters are left; that was quick!
The Dark Wings are bandits; two men, and one women; they could be around here somewhere...
Yeah, let's head out!
A carriage; a nice way to travel; with a table and a coach...
A loud noise!
The Army chasing the Bandits; Bandits have something off their sleeve though...
The Bandits are trying to cut off the Army's pursuit, by blowing up the bridge!
The Army's Ship "Tartarus" has activated Fonic Barrier, and halted its movement, avoiding the collapsing bridge.
Tartarus, is the land dreadnaught; the newest model.
The Malkuth Empire; we're screwed, especially if the War would be brought upon this land...
The Capital of Malkuth, the Grand Chokmah, will be our next destination; and we need to be on a totally different track.
Are we Kimlascan; hm, no, how can we; whatever...
And since the bridge is gone, a new way to come back, should be searched for; how about enjoying the outside, Luke?
Passing Engeve, a Town?
Will be stopping, at Engeve.
Engeve is to the East of our location.
A bridge; a small bridge, and Luke is hungry; well, can it wait till we get to Town?
Tear will prepare food; Camping, near the riverbed.
Luke, isn't very fond of the idea; he should taste the meal first.
Yeah, about Cooking...
If we'll have a recipe, then, we can make a dish, a variety of them in fact!
One more thing though, the ingredients; the higher quality the better!
Each person will add his own unique ingredients to the dish, thus, making it different.
Enjoying food, by carefully chewing it...
Where did Tear get Rice anyway; unless, she carries some around; Journeying frequently.
Fighting Monsters; the Nightmare Fonic arte is useful, especially on tough monsters.
A new skill for Luke, Critical Guard; can reduce the impact of strong attacks!
Chirpee, a bird type monster.
Luke has learned a new arte, Havoc Strike is a jump attack arte.
Chirpee was tough to beat; need new, better equipment; this wooden sword, just won't do.
A sign states: Engeve left, St. Binah right.
Will go left then, as the sign says.
Plenty of Monsters on our way to Town.
New item, Pork was added to the list; got from a boar-looking monster.
A Giant Bee; has a very big sting though, still, it won't be dangerous until, it hits!
The fields, can see them; we are approaching, a populated area.
Tear acquired a new skill, Free Run; can maneuver freely on the battlefield, adding to her defensive capabilities.
What a small, lively, and busy Engeve village is.
To Kimlaska; without a bridge, we would need to go the other way, it will be South; a checkpoint is there, named Kaitzur .
Kaitzur checkpoint, will become our next destination, once stocked up on supplies.
Passports huh; what?!
Luke is homesick, wants to get back to the Manor so; at least, now he knows how outside looks...
Luke doesn't even know how to shop; well, who can blame him, there are no shops at the Manor.
Getting in trouble...
Authorities, seems, that this village is too tiny, to have an establishment devoted for law purposes.
Colonel; that's important; a guest at this village, and he wears glasses.
Jade Curtiss, who commands the Third Division of Malkuth's Military.
Of course, Luke has nearly told his name, at the wrong place; Tear quickly grabbed him though, so his attempt at speech failed, at the word "Fon."
Tear introduced Luke in his place, to Colonel Jade.
Trouble dissipates, as the story with the real Dark Wings, who fled over the bridge to Kimlaska, has taken place; and Luke isn't the thief anymore.
Fon Master Ion on the Food thief case.
Cheagles raided the storehouses; Ion founded their fur, in the corner of a house; a rare species.
Fon Master Ion, she is leading the Order of Lorelei; it seems, she is traveling with the Colonel.
Ion is a he...
The pigs in the shade; they are sensitive.
Two carrots will join the list, maybe will have a recipe with 'em someday.
A chicken meat, another ingredient to the list; this one, is of high quality.
Cheagles are little and cute; they aren't dangerous then, and very hard to prevent, since they are small, they can have bigger numbers.
They have Hens too; not surprising; added the chicken meat earlier.
An Item shop; and an Inn too!
Huh, some girl is looking for someone; asking questions.
The girl is looking for Ion; maybe, we can ask her some questions of our own, regarding Fon Master Ion.
The first question, was given, after the answer; the girl now knows, that Ion is at the Rose's house, thus she runs off to there.
Luke's question about Ion missing, surprised her; she run off to tell Ion immediately, about such rumors.
Official Business; is that what this is; the girl didn't look like a Guardian to Ion...
A small Inn; looks comfortable enough; Items first though.
Orange Gels are expensive; need not to waste them!
At least, no Apple Gels are needed; have all the Apple Gels unused; Tear's healing was enough.
A Cutlass for Luke; a real Sword, not a wooden one!
A Bracelet, and another Cape will do fine, for little more protection.
Metal Bracelet for Luke and a Cape for Tear, since she doesn't have her pendant anymore; used it as payment for the ride...
Staying a night for Free, now that's a deal; won't refuse, and the owner is really sorry for the commotion earlier.
Yulia is the founder of The Order of Lorelei; one of the founders to be correct!
A forest to the North; will search for Cheagles there; how so?
Cheagles, that's one problem Luke wants to solve; this can be done; not like he has to...
Should prepare for the Forest Journey then.
A proof; yeah, not thief, until proven so...
Amnesia, Luke is keeping a diary to battle it; now that would be one long read!
