[A blonde woman makes an appearance on the screen holding a familiar crystal in her hand. She holds it up, turning it from side to side. Behind her is the backdrop of a throne room, dark and eerie, as if it raised from the very pits of Hell itself. She's enthroned in state, although her mouth is set in a bored, sulky pout.]

It's not a very pretty

You!

[She had been left on Terra. What was Lufene doing on Gaia, and how?]

Where did you get that Crystal?

[video] <3!

[ultimategenome]

Yes? Oh, it's you.

[She remembers the helmet. You're the boring one.]

That piece of rubbish? It was sitting on my throne when I got here. Not the best gift I ever received.

[video]

[for_cosmos]

You call it rubbish-?

[Better to be boring than to be evil.]

Hardly a gift for you. You do not deserve to hold that crystal!

[video]

[ultimategenome]

Why? Is it valuable?

[From the soft titter, you can bet she's planning something now.]

[He is very much glaring at her now. He knows he slipped up, from that laugh of hers, and he does his best to cover over that. She cannot be allowed to keep that Crystal.]

It is from my world. You have no right to keep it.

[ultimategenome]

Well maybe now I need to reconsider if I should throw it away.

What do you think? [Purred out.]

[video]

[for_cosmos]

Give it to me, or be forced to face my blade, Lufene.

[video]

[ultimategenome]

No manners at all. Didn't your mother teach you to ask nicely?

[She rests her chin on the back of her hand, epitome of boredom.]

Do you really want to try me again so badly?

[video]

[for_cosmos]

I will do what I must. If that means facing you, then so be it.

[He, on the other hand, is clearly hostile.]

[Wait, what? Did the Warrior of Light just state the Fire Crystal hails from his realm? But that cannot be true for this crystal hails from Damacyan.]

This crystal hails from your realm? That cannot be! This crystal hails from my realm of Damacyan.

How could the same crystal exist within two different worlds?

I was told by Matoya that the four crystals had come from my world, and will light the way to the Chaos Shrine. I believe that to be true.

[Matoya may be a crotchety old woman, but she is a wise one as well.]

No matter what realm they hail from, she cannot be allowed to keep the Fire Crystal.

[melodiesoflute]

Is that what she said? But that crystal...

[Edward knows the Warrior of Light isn't lying, but still that crystal looks so similar to the Fire Crystal from Damacyan.]

That much is certain! I knew this fiendish woman would be nothing but trouble, but how dare she treat that crystal as if it's mere trash.

Does she mean to antagonize us with this broadcast? We must find her!

[video- filtered]

[for_cosmos]

I cannot be certain, but I believe I remember them.

Still, it would have been better if she had not discovered that it had value... [That she discovered it was important at all was probably due in part to the warrior's reaction.] If she discovers that the crystals are what will lead us to the Chaos Shrine, then she would likely do her utmost to destroy them.

..It is likely. I do not know of a place in this world that takes on that appearance, however.
