Did someone order a bard? (voice)

[melodiesoflute]

[A loud shriek could be heard as someone falls right out from the sky and into the waters below. After a loud splash and some coughing, the newcomer finally speaks. Now for those who do not know who he is, this poor bard is delicate soul who isn’t very fond of combat. For those who do know of him; he’s name is Edward Chris von Muir, and he’s the

Well, if this is after the rescue...

[mountain_sage]

Hello? Are you injured?

[mountain_sage]

Dangerous? Yes...but it is my duty.

[melodiesoflute]

You mean, it's our duty, correct? I am a fellow warrior in this war, even if I cannot fight.

[Edward sighs.]

[mountain_sage]

Of course. If you cannot fight, then what can you do? What other skills do you possess?

[melodiesoflute]

Well, my skills with the lyre are second to none. I can use my Whisperweed to cast spells upon others, but none of my spells are lethal enough to cause the death another.

[He holds up the golden lyre so Saleh can get a good look at it.]

You see, I can cast ailments upon opponents using this magical instrument. I detest killing, so I much rather impair my foes than kill them.

[mountain_sage]

I see. That would be helpful.

Fortunately, the key to victory lies in collecting the crystals rather than killing our foes.

[melodiesoflute]

Collecting the crystals?

[His eyes grew wide since crystals of any kind usually mean big trouble.]

What kind of crystals do we seek?

[mountain_sage]

I cannot say...I've not seen any for myself. We've only sought two crystals thus far; we have one, and Chaos has one. But there will be more to come, and we mustn't let Chaos win again.

[melodiesoflute]

If Chaos wins, then we are doomed?

[It sounds as if they would be doomed considering they are siding with the Goddess of Harmony.]

And in turn, our realms are doomed as well?

[mountain_sage]

That is my understanding, that Chaos' victory will destroy all of our realities.

[melodiesoflute]

[Edward shakes his head in disbelief.]

If this is true, then we mustn't lose! We have to stop Chaos and his legion at all costs.

[For someone who utterly dislikes war, Edward understands now why Cosmos summoned them here. They are here to save the future that tomorrow brings for them all.]

My world has suffered enough agony, we cannot permit the entire universe itself to be engulfed by discord.

[mountain_sage]

I'm glad for your understanding. Things have been bleak of late, but we certainly will lose if we let our spirits break.

[melodiesoflute]

Yes, this why we must take care to keep ourselves well mentally and physically.

[Looking a tad quizzical as to what transpired so far in this war, Edward decides to question Saleh a little. If he is to fight for the sake of harmony, then he needs to know what is happening.]

Saleh, has this war gone in Cosmos' favor?

[mountain_sage]

As of right now, Cosmos and Chaos stand on an equal scale, with one crystal each. So when the next battle comes, we must see it to victory.

[melodiesoflute]

I see. Well, then! It seems as if we have out work cut out for us then.

[The bard smiled at Saleh.]

Tell me, are you from Mysidia by any chance? You are a sage, are you not?

[mountain_sage]

I am a sage, but Mysidia is not a name I am familiar with.

The realm I am from is called Magvel.
