[A young woman appears in the mirror, as per the usual. She's new, but doesn't look particularly bewildered or frightened. Instead, she looks determined, if a little nervous.]This is a message...from Princess Estellise Sidos Heurassein to the Queen of Hearts.

I don't think she wants diplomacy, child.

[readitinabook]

But it's the duty of any ruler to listen to her people.

[border_phantasm]

She's hardly a ruler. More a captor.

[readitinabook]

I can't get captured right now! There's things I need to find out!

[border_phantasm]

You'll have to figure them out here.

[readitinabook]

But--

I can't do it alone.

[border_phantasm]

Oh, so none of us are really here.

[readitinabook]

No, that's not what I meant!

[border_phantasm]

Then what did you mean?

[readitinabook]

I was with others, in my world. A new guild! Brave Vesperia, named for the brightest star in the sky.

They agreed to help me.

[border_phantasm]

Ah, you mean you are without your companions.

That is something you may have to get used to.

[readitinabook]

No. I'll return to them!

[readitinabook]

This Queen of Hearts found a way to take people from different worlds, so there's no reason we can't find a way to travel between them.

[border_phantasm]

And it also assumes she will let us travel. Some of our abilities have been blocked, I don't doubt she could do the same for any sort of portals to other worlds we find.

[readitinabook]

There must be a way. We can't just be stuck here!
