~Introduction~

[Atop a dark mountain beneath the moonlit sky stands a foreboding castle. A ball of blue light flies to the castle, followed by a yellow and a green. Moments later, the three balls of light streak from the castle at incredible velocity. Soon, a red ball of light flies to the castle.]

[Inside the castle, a very tall woman wearing armor ascends the stairway to the throne of the master of the castle, Arek the Absolute.]

Woman: Master.

Arek: Erim ... I would like to ask you something.

Erim: Yes, sir.

Arek: Who should rule, we Sinistrals, or humans.

Erim [steps forth and speaks with heat]: There is no doubt in my mind that we should rule!

Arek: ...

[Erim steps back]

Erim: But why do you ask that, sir?

Arek: Judgment time with the Dual Blade has come.

Erim: Are you saying that the Dual Blade is resonating!?

Arek: Would you ... go?

Erim: Yes, sir.

[Erim walks from Arek's throne and becomes a ball of red light. She flies from the castle into the moonlit night. The ball of light flies across the world to fulfill its assigned task.]

[In Tia's shop in Elcid, Tia talks to Maxim from behind the counter.]

Tia: I heard there are monsters in the North Cave.

Maxim: Yeah.

Tia: Are you going away again?

Maxim: Well, that's my job.

[Tia comes from behind the counter and goes to Maxim.]

Tia: Be ... be careful.

Maxim: I'll be alright.

Tia: You always say that, but I always worry.

Maxim: I'll get them, but you have to buy them, Tia.

Tia: I will.

Maxim: Well, see ya! [Heads out of the shop]

**********************************

[In the town square in Tanbel, a young lady approaches a swordsman.]

Lady: Oh, Guy. You're here!

Guy: Hilda! What's up?

Hilda: Jessy was looking for you.

Guy [shocked]: Really!?

Hilda: She was upset. Did you do something?

Guy [turns away]: Nope.

Hilda [not buying it]: Yeah?

[Guy backs up, then walks away]

Guy: ...I forgot our date and went to get monsters.

Hilda [turns away]: Typical! No wonder Jessy's angry!

Guy: Women don't get it. It's a man thing!

Hilda: I get it alright. You prefer MONSTERS!

**********************************

[In Parcelyte, two boys, Tim and Kim, are running around a girl in a teasing manner.]

Tim: Lemmy's a crybaby! Lemmy's a crybaby!

Kim: Crybaby!

Lemmy [crying]: Whaa! Sniff, sniff!

[A strong, beautiful woman comes to the scene.]

Woman: Hey, you boys! You should be nice to girls!

[Tim and Kim look at her in horror.]

Tim: Oh no!! It's Selan!

Kim: Run!!

[Tim and Kim quickly retreat, and Lemmy buries her head in Selan's arms.]

Lemmy: Selan... Whaa! Whaa! Sniff, sniff!

Selan: Listen carefully, Lemmy. They're wrong, but try to be strong.

Lemmy [stops crying for a moment]: Why? My father said it's ok for girls to cry.

Selan: Listen. A woman's tears should...

[Standing by the doors to the throne room in Bound Kingdom, Dekar the swordsman stands with much self-confidence.]

Dekar: I say there's no one who can beat me!

[A soldier rushes to Dekar.]

Soldier: Monsters are all over the North Labyrinth.

Dekar [to the soldier]: Chill, good man! With my sword I'll...

{At that moments, the throne room doors burst open, sending Dekar flying. Prince Alex comes out with his assistant, Josef.]

Alex: Where are the monsters?!

Josef: In the North Labyrinth, Your Highness!

Alex: Excellent! Josef, follow me.

Josef: Yes, Your Highness!

[The two leave the castle, and the soldier looks down to the ground below.]

Soldier: Sir... Sir Dekar?

**********************************

[Standing on the dock of Treadool, an old man in a lab coat watches a ship pass by.]

Man: I get it! So that's how it works! I understand at last! I'll start work right now!

[The man runs from the dock with enthusiasm, and two people, Eric and Stela, watch him go.]

Stela: Looks like Lexis is off inventing again.

Eric: His inventions never work the way they should.

Stela: Yeah. He sank a ship with his last one,

Eric: ......

Stela: What was that invention anyway?

Eric: A machine to move ships without wind.

Stela: Oh, that's right. Hey, your memory's pretty good!

Eric: Yeah - 'cause it was MY ship that went under.

[Far off in the elven town of Eserikto, a little girl runs by an elf man.]

Elf: Milka! Wait!

[Milka comes to his call]

Milka: Artea ...

Artea: Milka, where have you been these days?

Milka: I ... I ...

Artea: The worst thing you can do is lie to yourself.

Milka: But, Artea. The people in the city ...

[At that moment, an elf woman comes from a house nearby.]

Elf Woman: Milka. Say no more.

Milka [turns to her]: Mother.

Elf Woman: Artea is aware of everything.

Artea: Karyn...

[Karyn goes over to Artea.]

Karyn: Artea, it must be hard on you, too.

**********************************

[Back at Arek's castle, the super being contemplates the coming times]

Arek: Us, or humans...?

[Arek floats from his throne]

Arek: Which of us is really transient on earth.

[Arek heads down the stairs.]

Arek: Dual Blade, do you have the real answer?

[A shining sword appears before Arek, hovering in midair.]
