Sixty-One Kings Slain

Tis that time again so soon?

Hm... it seems time moves quicker here than I thought.

[wyvern_guardian]

Time speeds up here?

[captain_basch]

Nay I do not think so.

I meant it more in jest.

[wyvern_guardian]

Oh, I see...

Where might this place be, anyway?

[captain_basch]

Discedo. A ruined city ruled by those called Scientists. They bring many here, for what reasons beyond speculation, we know not.

[wyvern_guardian]

Scientists...like the Alchemists in Bastok?

They haven't kidnapped us, have they? At least Ember is here with me...

[captain_basch]

I do not know the city you name, though I suppose they could be considered like an Alchemist. If you consider bringing people back from the grave part of such studies.

That is one way to see it. Ember?

[wyvern_guardian]

Oh, I see...

Ah, Ember is what you might call my charge. I'm her guardian.

[captain_basch]

Ah, I see.

Would she happen to be a Chocobo? We have a few here as well, at least tame ones that I and others care for.

[wyvern_guardian]

Oh, there are chocobos here? I didn't know...

Actually, Ember is-- h-hey!

[ Aaaand in she flies. Ohai. ]

[captain_basch]

[Blinks at the blue creature. A flying lizard of sorts. A wvyern of the small variety.]

Well now, so this is Ember? She is not what I expected to be sure.

[Though he smiles a little, amused by the creature.]

[wyvern_guardian]

[ Melusine holds out her arm for the wyvern to perch on, which it does. Although it'll be sniffing you now. Who's this guy? ]

Yes. I've known her ever since she was a hatchling, and rescued her from dragonslayers. I guess you could say I've taken it upon myself to protect her.

Don't worry, she's friendly.
