Alisa left Camineet. Being outside the city meant she was now officially in lawless territory. Alisa had no idea what kind of danger might lie ahead, nor what kind of monsters might be waiting for her out there.
One thing was certain, though — if she got cold feet now, then how would she ever be able to take on La Shiec?
So then — where should Alisa go?
“Could this be Tyrone?”
<I think so. Hurry, Alisa, hurry!>
“All right, allright. I just need to pour this medicine on him, right?”
Alisa removed the little bottle that was hanging from Myau’s neck. Inside was the special medicine called Alshline.
Fwoosh. Almost immediately the surface of the stone statue began to change. What was once gray now faded away and became soft in appearance.
Eventually, a great big man stood there, suddenly back to life.
“Uhh.. Say, where’s this? And who are you?” the big man — Tyrone — blinked his eyes.
Alisa explained the situation.
“I see. Thanks, you really saved me. Life as a statue sure was boring. But, damn… if even Medusa got the better of me, then I guess I’d be no match for La Shiec. I shouldn’t have even tried.”
“My brother was also working behind the scenes to take down La Shiec. He got killed for it. But,” Alisa paused. “Right before he died, he told me about you. He said that I should look for you… that you would be able to help…”
“I see…” Tyrone was quiet for a moment as he stared off into the distance. “Okay then. Let’s do this. We’ll join forces and take on La Shiec together — for your brother, too!”
Myau jumped onto the shoulders of his master with a whining purr.
“Hey! Did you miss me?” said Tyrone playfully. “Now then, let’s get out of this gloomy cave.” Tyrone reached down and picked up his old ax off the ground.
Now that they didn’t have to watch the sky overhead, the battle became easier for Alisa and party.
Tyrone casually smashed the Skeleton, and Alisa knocked off the remaining Gold Lenses.
“Well, guess that’s it!’” (+2 CP, +50 MESETA)
After an uneventful trip, the spaceship touched down in Paseo, Motavia’s capital city.
There was no time to waste. Alisa immediately started searching for the merchant named Kuny Noone.
There was no “talking cat” to be found. When walking around in the Market for Rare Animals and Peculiar Beasts she soon found out where to find Kuny Noone. —However, there was a problem.
“What!? There are two people namedKuny Noone? A blond one and a black haired one, and they both have a ‘talking cat’? What should I do…?”
“Don’t pick a fight if you don’t have to, it’s better to avoid pointless battles,” said Tyrone.
Alisa and party managed to backtrack without being seen by the Motavian natives. They wandered around a large cliff side.
“Oh, no, that man is definitely a thief. Awful, just awful,” the woman said, furrowing her brow.
Maybe so, but maybe he was a member of an anti-government group. Either way, Alisa was not in her mind to help him. Alerting La Shiec to her doings by getting involved would be bad.
The Robo-Cops attacked the man with anesthetizing bullets, and then took him away somewhere.
It seemed the right time to leave for Alisa as well. As for where to go next… (If you possess an Iron Sword then go to Scion, otherwise go to the shop.)
The stooping figure of the Sharkin came ashore. Its fishy scales glittered and glistened in the sun in a disgusting display. Worse still, a tongue came shooting out towards Alisa, even though she was sure she had just finished cutting its tongue off!
Alisa deftly jumped out of the way. The Sharkin’s prickly tongue missed and attacked the empty sky.
“Yikes, that was close! My brother used to warn me to be careful around men with two tongues, hah! Well, who knows if you’re even male. Hey, don’t lick my legs like that!”
“Shaa!?”
Brandishing its claws, the Sharkin shuffled towards Alisa. Each of its claws was like a huge butchers’ knife.
“Oh? YOU think you’re going to eat ME? Learn your place on the food chain, fish man! I’ll make seafood out of you!”
Undaunted by Alisa’s taunts, the Sharkin launched itself towards her. Sword clashed against claws and thorns! Back and forth, side to side, they danced in battle.
“Ahh!” Alisa stumbled on the sand beneath her feet. She was not used to this sort of terrain.
The Sharkin leapt towards her from above, attempting to smother her.
“Get away from me with your nasty fish breath!” Alisa desperately reached down and threw a hardened clump of sand in its direction. The staggering Sharkin was hit in the chest, finishing it off. (+2 CP, +1 MP, +40 MESETA)
“Phew, I finally beat him.” Alisa panted and stood up. “I wonder if that village over there is Scion.”
Alisa began walking towards the village she saw on the cape.
Alisa sank into the thickets and thrust upwards with her sword.
Swoosh! She could feel the sword slicing through flesh.
The foolish Monster Fly flew itself into its own doom. The fly got sliced in two as it collided into Alisa’s blade. Its remains tumbled to the ground. (+1 CP, +5 MESETA)
Before she could relax she heard a different buzzing. This time it came from a monster like a dragon fly, but with a sharp fang on its tail — a Scorpius.
Scorpius: 1 + BP (1-A)
Alisa: CP + BP (2-H)
There is a door in the wall to the north. The path stretches from east to west.
