------======{ MSG #0000 }======------
Well, [$C8],
are you ready to
face the enemy?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0001 }======------
Anything else, [$C8]?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0002 }======------
A change of heart, eh?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0003 }======------
If that is all, then go now,
for the hordes of Runefaust
are still on the attack![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0004 }======------
Who do you wish to take?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0005 }======------
Who will you leave behind?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0006 }======------
[$C8], no one
is waiting![$CF][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0007 }======------
Are you sure? After all,
[$C6] needs to
be revived.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0008 }======------
Anyone else to replace?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0009 }======------
Use whose item?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #000A }======------
Who will use the [$CA]?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #000B }======------
[$C8]! What are you
trying to do with that?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #000C }======------
Any other item to use?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #000D }======------
Transfer whose item?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #000E }======------
Who gets the [$CA]?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #000F }======------
The [$CA] is cursed
and can't be unequipped.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0010 }======------
Now, who gets it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0011 }======------
Anything else to transfer?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0012 }======------
Who do you wish to equip?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0013 }======------
[$C6] has been cursed....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0014 }======------
Anyone else to equip?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0015 }======------
Discard whose item?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0016 }======------
[$C8]! It would be
foolish to discard the
[$CA].[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0017 }======------
Anything else to discard?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0018 }======------
View whose status?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0019 }======------
Check someone else's status?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #001A }======------
Without you, [$C8], who
will lead the Shining Force?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #001B }======------
[$C6] can't be
equipped with anything![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #001C }======------
Use whose item?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #001D }======------
Who will use the
[$CA]?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #001E }======------
Nothing happened.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #001F }======------
Transfer whose item?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0020 }======------
Who gets the [$CA]?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0021 }======------
The [$CA] is cursed
and can't be given away.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0022 }======------
[$C6] can't be
equipped with anything![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0023 }======------
Who do you wish to equip?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0024 }======------
[$C6] has been
cursed....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0025 }======------
Discard whose item?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0026 }======------
[$C8] keeps the
[$CA].[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0027 }======------
Wow! Dark Dragon, Ancients...
Let's see now, what else does
this old book say?[$CD]
Hmmm. One thousand years
have passed since they
vanquished Dark Dragon.[$CD]
And this book says
Dark Dragon threatened to
return right about now.[$CD]
I bet anything that Dark
Dragon is behind the evil
hordes of Runefaust![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0028 }======------
I need to tell someone about
this! But who would listen to
a kid like me?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0029 }======------
Oh, hi! I didn't notice you
there at first. Maybe you'll
listen. Nobody else will.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #002A }======------
This book tells of an ancient
evil that threatened our land
long ago--Dark Dragon![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #002B }======------
I think Dark Dragon's coming
back! Will you help us?
C'mon, it'll be an adventure![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #002C }======------
Say, what shall I call you?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #002D }======------
Nice to meet you,
[$C8]! I'm Simone.[$CD]
Come back often
and tell me everything![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #002E }======------
You need to get going! Evil
spreads farther across Rune
with every passing day.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #002F }======------
Let's get going!
You're doing great so far![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0030 }======------
Which adventure would you
like to continue?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0031 }======------
Good luck! And be sure to
stop by to let me know how
you're doing, OK?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0032 }======------
Really? Which adventure
should I delete?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0033 }======------
Are you sure?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0034 }======------
OK, it's done![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0035 }======------
Which adventure do you wish
to copy?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0036 }======------
Where do you wish to copy it
to?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0037 }======------
Done![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0038 }======------
Change your mind? No problem![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0039 }======------
Come on! Let's get on with
your adventure![$C0]

------======{ MSG #003A }======------
Oh no! I can't find adventure
[$C5]! I hope you're not too
mad![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #003B }======------
Done for now? That's OK. Get
lots of rest, and I'll see
you soon![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #003C }======------
Don't stay away too long,
though. We need you here to
lead the Shining Force![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #003D }======------
Pick an adventure.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #003E }======------
Swallowed by the murky brine,
the Castle of the Ancients
was lost forevermore.[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #003F }======------
The battle over and Rune
saved, the warriors of the
Shining Force returned home.[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0040 }======------
Led by Mae, Guardiana was
rebuilt and Anri inherited
the throne.[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0041 }======------
As for [$C8], he is
believed to have perished at
sea along with Dark Dragon.[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0042 }======------
And that is the official
ending. But you and I know
differently, don't we?[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0043 }======------
Somewhere, evil stirs in a
land that has need of a
hero.[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0044 }======------
And I know you'll be up to
the challenge, [$C8]![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0045 }======------
Well, goodbye for now. I have
a feeling I'll be seeing you
again.[$C4][$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0046 }======------
Do you want to record your
exploits so far?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0047 }======------
Do you want to take a break?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0048 }======------
[$C6] discovers a
[$CA]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0049 }======------
But can't carry it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #004A }======------
The treasure chest is empty.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #004B }======------
Nothing is found.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #004C }======------
[$C6] gains [$C5] coins.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #004D }======------
[$C8] opens
the treasure chest![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #004E }======------
[$C8] gets
the [$CA]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #004F }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0050 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0051 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0052 }======------
In ages long forgotten...[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0053 }======------
...Light fought Darkness for
control of the world.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0054 }======------
Dark Dragon led the evil
hordes of Darkness.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0055 }======------
The Ancients fought back with
the Powers of Light.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0056 }======------
Dark Dragon was defeated and
cast into another dimension.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0057 }======------
The Lord of Darkness vowed to
return in 1,000 years.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0058 }======------
Time passed, and Dark Dragon
was forgotten by all.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0059 }======------
Ten centuries of peace ruled
the land of Rune.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #005A }======------
Until the kingdom of Runefaust
brought war and fear to Rune.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #005B }======------
Hordes of evil creatures
ravaged every land.[$C0]

------======{ MSG #005C }======------
Here and there, strongholds
of Good still held out...[$C0]

------======{ MSG #005D }======------
...awaiting a Hero who could
wield the Powers of Light![$C0]

------======{ MSG #005E }======------
Well, hello there.[$C4][$C4]
You look like you're
a long way from home.[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #005F }======------
We don't see many folk in
full armor like that.[$C4][$C4][$C4]
Quite a fancy getup![$C4][$C4][$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0060 }======------
I have come a long way.[$C4][$C4][$C4]
Longer than you can
imagine.[$C4][$C4][$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0061 }======------
I must say you do look pretty
tired and, well,[$C4][$C4]
your things have seen
better days.[$C4][$C4][$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0062 }======------
I'm tired of wandering.[$C4][$C4]
I'm looking for a place to
settle down and rest.[$C4][$C4][$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0063 }======------
Well, how about right here?[$C4][$C4]
Lend your hands to the fields
of our village?[$C4][$C4][$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0064 }======------
That sounds like just what I
need right now. [$C4][$C4][$C4]I work hard
and I'm a fast learner.[$C4][$C4][$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0065 }======------
Good! We've got a deal then.[$C4][$C4][$C4]
Folks in the village will be
excited to see a new face![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0066 }======------
I didn't catch your name.
What do they call you?[$C4][$C4][$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0067 }======------
Me? You can call me...[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0068 }======------
[$C8]![$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0069 }======------
[$C8]!
Goblins! Runefaust
must be up to something![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #006A }======------
We can take them,
[$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #006B }======------
Move it, vermin! Find the key
to this blasted door![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #006C }======------
C'mon, we're almost in![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #006D }======------
Where is that blasted key?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #006E }======------
What? Blast it! Those fools
from Guardiana are here![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #006F }======------
Earthquake![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0070 }======------
Attack, goblins and dwarves!
Strike a blow for the honor
of Runefaust![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0071 }======------
Fools...you have won here,
but Lord Kane of Runefaust is
even now attacking Guardiana![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0072 }======------
If that creature spoke truly,
we must return to help defend
Guardiana![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0073 }======------
The earthquake blocked the
road. Head north, but be
ready for battle.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0074 }======------
No one enters Guardiana while
we live! For Darksol![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0075 }======------
Death to Guardiana![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0076 }======------
Well done, Shining Force!
Now, enter Guardiana and find
out what's happened there![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0077 }======------
[$C8]! Enemies await
you on the road to Alterone.
Take all precautions![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0078 }======------
Excellent! Kane will have to
do better than that to stop
you. On to Alterone![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0079 }======------
Lowly worms, I shall crush
you beneath my heel. Attack,
soldiers of Runefaust![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #007A }======------
Lord Kane, Lord Darksol
commands you to return to
Runefaust immediately.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #007B }======------
Tell him I'm on my way.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #007C }======------
Yes, sir.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #007D }======------
A shame I can't stay to watch
you meet your doom! My troops
can handle the likes of you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #007E }======------
[$C8], there's no time
to lose. Kane must be found
and stopped at all costs.[$CD]
Find out all you can and
be sure to talk to the king
of Alterone![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #007F }======------
Our enemies seek to stop you
from reaching Anri in
Manarina. You must succeed![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0080 }======------
[$C8], now enter
Manarina! We must inform
Anri about Guardiana![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0081 }======------
Behold the dreaded Cavern of
Darkness! You must defeat the
monsters to gain the orb![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0082 }======------
No! It cannot be! After all
these centuries....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0083 }======------
[$C8], the Orb of Light
must be within that chest.
Take it quickly![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0084 }======------
Well, [$C8], remember
me? You'll soon wish you'd
taken my advice in Alterone![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0085 }======------
Come, my pets! Look who's
come to play with you. Why,
it's the Shining Force![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0086 }======------
I leave you in good hands,
[$C8].[$CD]
I have more vital matters
to attend to right now![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0087 }======------
Fools! Light will never defeat
the Darkness....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0088 }======------
She...that evil woman...was
going to take me to Runefaust,
to feed me to a dragon![$CD]
Thank you! I'm going home and
I'm never leaving![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0089 }======------
Been praying, and well you
might![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #008A }======------
You and your pitiful Shining
Force cannot be saved by
prayers! You won't escape![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #008B }======------
How fitting that you perish
in a former chapel of Light!
[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #008C }======------
I leave you now in the care
of my minions, who know well
what to do with you....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #008D }======------
Undead! Dispose of these
pests once and for all![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #008E }======------
Master, we have found it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #008F }======------
The Laser Eye! At last![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0090 }======------
This is the end of that
cursed Shining Force![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0091 }======------
Get rid of those men from
Bustoke. They are of no
further use to us.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0092 }======------
Alert! Intruders![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0093 }======------
What? The Shining Force![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0094 }======------
Stop them! We must have time
to remove the Laser Eye![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0095 }======------
You think you've won, but
you've failed. The Laser Eye
is ours now![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0096 }======------
[$C8], the Moon Stone
lies inside the cavern.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0097 }======------
Look, they are trying to
block our way to the bridge.
Attack them, Shining Force![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0098 }======------
Head for the bridge. We need
to get across quickly![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0099 }======------
Traitor! You've betrayed Lord
Kane![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #009A }======------
I owe no allegiance to you or
him, foul fiend that he is![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #009B }======------
You are only a mercenary. You
do what we pay you to do![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #009C }======------
Here, I return your gold. I
shall no longer follow your
orders, toad![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #009D }======------
If you are not with us, then
you are against us![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #009E }======------
I will have the pleasure of
killing you myself![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #009F }======------
Vile fiend! Aiiiieeeee....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A0 }======------
Ha, ha! Thus fall all who
dare to oppose the will of
Darksol![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A1 }======------
You may have beaten us here,
but General Elliott will stop
you in Pao![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A2 }======------
Whew! I thought I was a
goner, but I caught a branch
and just hung on.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A3 }======------
A great battle! I don't know
who you are, but I want to
tag along![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A4 }======------
A good job getting to that
Laser Eye. Hurry on to Pao.
Evil is afoot![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A5 }======------
Thus the Shining Force
brought peace to Bustoke. But
a vast army awaits....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A6 }======------
The time for battle has come.
For King Ramladu![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A7 }======------
General Elliott is said to be
the finest swordsman in all
of Rune.[$CD]
Take care, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A8 }======------
Perhaps you have the strength
to rescue King Ramladu and
Runefaust! Stop Darksol![$CD]
Promise that you will free
Runefaust, known as Protectora
before Darksol came....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00A9 }======------
Elliott was a great warrior...
too bad he was our enemy.[$CD]
But look, the traveling town
of Pao is coming up again![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00AA }======------
[$C8], you must break
through to reach the harbor.
Be careful, but be quick![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00AB }======------
At last we meet, [$C8].
Soon you and your misfits
will trouble us no longer![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00AC }======------
Yes, that is Balbazak, a
commander of the Runefaust
army. You must destroy him![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00AD }======------
[$C8]! Take the ship,
but please spare my life!
Please![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00AE }======------
You don't want to
kill me, do you?
Please let me go.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00AF }======------
Thank you! Take the ship, go
after Darksol![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B0 }======------
Balbazak, you betrayed me![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B1 }======------
No, no, please Darksol!
Leave me in peace![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B2 }======------
You disgust me, Balbazak!
Leave you in peace? I will
leave you in pieces![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B3 }======------
Forgive me![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B4 }======------
Too late, worm! Receive your
punishment for failure![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B5 }======------
I am dying, [$C8]....
You must kill Darksol...
free Runefaust....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B6 }======------
Take the ship, as that fool
said. You will not survive
the voyage! Ha, ha, ha![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B7 }======------
The ship is surrounded by
monsters, [$C8]!
Prepare to defend it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B8 }======------
The ship was damaged in the
battle. We must repair it.
That island over there....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00B9 }======------
Thank you for destroying
those monsters! My name is
Shell of Waral.[$CD]
You can repair your ship in
Waral. Please follow me![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00BA }======------
I've heard of Waral. We
should be able to get the
ship fixed there.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00BB }======------
I invoke a path before
me....What?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00BC }======------
Shining Force! I was so
close...so close! I shall
destroy you all![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00BD }======------
Arrghh...I was so close...the
way to Metapha...almost
ours....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00BE }======------
Here we go again. We were
just about to land, too! Go
get them![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00BF }======------
The ship's helm was destroyed
in the battle. We're now
adrift at sea![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C0 }======------
These Guardiana fools must be
stopped. Kane's mission is
vital. Attack![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C1 }======------
[$C8], you must quickly
break through to Dragonia![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C2 }======------
You'll never beat Kane,
Shining Fools![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C3 }======------
[$C8], you must
stop Kane before he finds the
Manual of the Seal. Onward![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C4 }======------
Ha! I knew you couldn't hide
in there forever! Come on
out, little hero![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C5 }======------
[$C8], be careful.
Remember that Kane killed
Varios![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C6 }======------
Arrgh! My mask
is...breaking![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C7 }======------
Wh...where am I? I
remember now. Darksol masked
my face to control me....[$CD]
What have I done?
He even made me fight you!
Forgive me, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C8 }======------
It seems that Darksol is
behind all the evil afoot.
Stop him and it all ends.[$CD]
In any case, let's take
another look at this village.[$CD]
Check the shrine again....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00C9 }======------
Well, [$C8], we meet
once more.  For the last time,
I fear, as you will die here.[$CD]
My minions shall take care of
you, but if they fail, I await
you in Demon Castle![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00CA }======------
Mishaela is said to possess
the Sword of Light. You must
enter her castle and get it![$CD]
With that legendary weapon,
you stand a much better
chance against Darksol.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00CB }======------
Well, here's the little hero
coming for my Sword of Light!
Take it, if you dare![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00CC }======------
You'll never leave my castle,
you pitiful fools![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00CD }======------
This is as close as you'll
ever come to the Sword of
Light![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00CE }======------
[$C8], take great care.
Mishaela is a powerful
wizardess, a dangerous foe![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00CF }======------
Though you can take...my
sword...you will never...stop
Darksol.[$CD]
Dark Dragon will be set
free....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D0 }======------
With the Sword of Light you
might be able to defeat
Darksol. We shall see![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D1 }======------
The Tower of the Ancients is
to the east. Hurry, while
there's still time![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D2 }======------
Now, on to the Tower of the
Ancients![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D3 }======------
Stop them! Lord Darksol must
not be disturbed![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D4 }======------
We must get inside the tower!
Smash through these monsters
quickly, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D5 }======------
Lord Darksol...I have failed
...they're coming...into the
tower....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D6 }======------
Get in there, quickly![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D7 }======------
Screech! Kill...kill....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D8 }======------
This unit...now ceases to
function...mission incomplete
...system failure....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00D9 }======------
To the south is Runefaust.
Their army approaches. You
must fight your way in.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00DA }======------
Now, [$C8], into
Runefaust![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00DB }======------
Long have I waited for
this moment, [$C8]!
Prepare to meet your death.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00DC }======------
Is that the best you can do?
Well, meet my robots,
weaklings![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00DD }======------
I am dying...but my mind is
once more my own. Darksol
was controlling me.[$CD]
You must stop Darksol!
If he frees Dark Dragon,
all of Rune is doomed.[$CD]
He has gone to the gate,
to summon the castle from the
depths of the sea. Go![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00DE }======------
[$C8]! Darksol has
already entered the Castle of
the Ancients.  You must hurry![$CD]
I found a secret passage
to the gate. It is in the
entry hall of this castle.[$CD]
Return to town and make
your final preparations. Then
take the passage.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00DF }======------
At last, [$C8]!  The
Castle of the Ancients. The
end is near, for good or ill![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E0 }======------
None shall pass Colossus,
the eternal sentinel!
Leave now![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E1 }======------
Colossus! I've heard of it
in legends! [$C8]!
They are attacking![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E2 }======------
Fools...Dark Dragon...will
come...to destroy you....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E3 }======------
You've destroyed Colossus!
But where is Darksol?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E4 }======------
Use the staircase,
[$C8].
Darksol must be up there![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E5 }======------
Dark Dragon! Awake from your
long sleep! The time has come
for you to reclaim this land![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E6 }======------
Awaken, Dark Dragon!
Something is wrong....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E7 }======------
[$C8]! Blast!
You have meddled for the last
time! Kill them, my servants![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E8 }======------
[$C8]! You must stop
Darksol before he completes
his foul ceremony! Attack![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00E9 }======------
Dark Dragon! With my dying
breath...I summon you....
Arise, Dark Dragon![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00EA }======------
Yes! At last, you are
awakening![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00EB }======------
I offer myself to you, Dark
Dragon! Use my power to help
you cast off your bonds.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00EC }======------
You are free once more! Let
all of Rune tremble! I die
fulfilled! Cringe fools![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00ED }======------
Nooooo! These puny creatures
cannot defeat the Lord of
Darkness![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00EE }======------
Never! I will not be banished
again! The Powers of Darkness
will sustain me![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00EF }======------
Dark Dragon still lives!
Perhaps we cannot kill him!
There must be a way....[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F0 }======------
[$C8]! Dark Dragon
must be sealed away once
again. And only you can do it![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F1 }======------
Use the Chaos Breaker! Drive
it through Dark Dragon![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F2 }======------
Fools! Nothing you do can
stop me! I am Dark Dragon,
Darkness incarnate![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F3 }======------
[$C8]! Stab him with
the Chaos Breaker![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F4 }======------
[$C8] stabbed Dark Dragon
with the Chaos Breaker![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F5 }======------
[$C8]! The Castle of the
Ancients is sinking! Let's
get out of here![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F6 }======------
But [$C8] cannot move![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F7 }======------
[$C8] is somehow bound
to the Chaos Breaker![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F8 }======------
[$C8]! Break free! We
won't leave without you![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00F9 }======------
I can't get free, but you
won't die with me![$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00FA }======------
[$C8] used his Egress
magic to save us. But
where is [$C8]?[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00FB }======------
That spell's supposed to
get us all out. Why isn't
[$C8] here? Why, Nova?[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00FC }======------
I have no answers for you.
Perhaps a great hero is
needed to guard the seal.[$C4]
Perhaps he must
stand as an eternal vigil to
prevent Dark Dragon's return.[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00FD }======------
But why did it have
to be [$C8]? Any of us
would have taken his place....[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00FE }======------
I won't believe it!
[$C8] will come back,
I know it![$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #00FF }======------
Perhaps [$C8] will still
come out. Wait, look at
the castle![$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0100 }======------
No! It's gone...the castle...
and [$C8] with it....[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0101 }======------
That's it. He didn't escape.
He's gone....[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0102 }======------
[$C8] has saved all of
Rune. His sacrifice will be
remembered forever.[$C4]
And now, friends, it is
time for us to begin the long
journey home....[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0103 }======------
I won't believe it....[$C4][$C4][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0104 }======------
[$C8]![$C0]

------======{ MSG #0105 }======------
Come, [$C8], our
vengeance cannot wait![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0106 }======------
Forget about paying me. This
is personal now.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0107 }======------
At last! A chance to become a
real knight! Count me in![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0108 }======------
I won't let you down,
[$C8]! You can depend
on me, no matter what![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0109 }======------
I want to fight at the front![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #010A }======------
I can't thank you enough for
letting me join the fight. I
won't let you down![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #010B }======------
Let's get going, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #010C }======------
I'm ready, [$C8].
You line 'em up, and I'll
chop 'em down![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #010D }======------
I'm rarin' to go![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #010E }======------
[$C8], thank you for
your efforts. I, too, shall
try my best.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #010F }======------
I'll fight to the end to
defeat Darksol![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0110 }======------
I'm eager to try my magic.[$CD]
Let's get out there and toast
some monsters![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0111 }======------
I'll stay near the back, if
you don't mind. But I can
fight if I have to.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0112 }======------
I'm most useful as a healer,
but I'll get in a few good
whacks when I have to.
[$CD]I can heal wounds, but please
try not to get injured, OK?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0113 }======------
I can fight and heal wounds.
Lead on, and I will follow.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0114 }======------
Please take care not to get
hurt. If your comrade gets
hurt, I will help you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0115 }======------
If it's healing and fighting
you need, I'm your man.
I will try my best![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0116 }======------
With me along, there is
nothing to fear from flying
enemies.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0117 }======------
Please don't put me in front.
I can't stand being hit.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0118 }======------
Where are our enemies? I'll
blow them all away![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0119 }======------
Leave air combat to me! No
one can take me as long as I
have my wings![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #011A }======------
I will fight until Darksol
is defeated or I'm finished
on the battlefield.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #011B }======------
Bring on those Runefaust
creeps. I'll mop the
battlefield with them![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #011C }======------
I feel my ancestors watching
me as I prepare for battle. I
will make them proud![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #011D }======------
I am yours to command,
[$C8]. Point out our
foes and step out of my way![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #011E }======------
I was born to fight. The
battlefield is like a second
home to me.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #011F }======------
Let's go, [$C8]! I can't
stand the thought of those
beasts overrunning Rune![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0120 }======------
Now your foes shall surely
perish.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0121 }======------
Is my helmet on straight?
I think it is.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0122 }======------
I'm just stretching. Need to
keep in tiptop form, you
know.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0123 }======------
I'll just relax, maybe train
a bit. I'll be here if you
need me.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0124 }======------
I think I'll go stir crazy
if you don't let me out of
here soon![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0125 }======------
Well, look who's here. Long
time, no see, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0126 }======------
Sometimes it's good to stay
down here. It's peaceful, but
a bit noisy.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0127 }======------
Can I fight now? C'mon, let
me at that Darksol![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0128 }======------
Hiya, [$C8]. We've got
quite a party going on back
here. See ya later![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0129 }======------
This is pretty boring. When
can I get into the fight?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #012A }======------
I am ready for action. Just
give me a chance.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #012B }======------
[$C8]! This constant
gossiping is really getting
to me. Get me out of here![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #012C }======------
Boy, that Darksol is sure
lucky I'm down here. He'd be
in trouble with me fighting.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #012D }======------
I'll be ready when you need
me, [$C8].[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #012E }======------
Don't worry about us.
We just started singing "1,000
Bottles of Ale on the Wall."[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #012F }======------
ZZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzz....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0130 }======------
I'm resting and practicing
my healing spell.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0131 }======------
[$C8], you should stay
down here. It's great fun![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0132 }======------
Pick me! Pick me!
C'mon [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0133 }======------
C'mon, [$C8], let us
in on the fun! We're
bored down here![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0134 }======------
[$C8], remember that
we're here if you need us![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0135 }======------
Whaa...oh, sorry. I fell
asleep there for a while.
I'm ready now![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0136 }======------
Boooooring! I want action![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0137 }======------
It feels good to rest![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0138 }======------
Exciting times we live in,
eh? Not that I'm seeing
much of them, of course.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0139 }======------
Just practicing my tail whip.
Still haven't gotten the hang
of it.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #013A }======------
I want to punish Darksol for
all he has done. Let me fight![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #013B }======------
Take care of your weapons,
that's what my father always
told me![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #013C }======------
Yawn. Sorry I must have
dozed off. Did I miss
anything important?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #013D }======------
If I were to fight, they
wouldn't even see me coming.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #013E }======------
Do you like my helmet?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #013F }======------
All that water beneath us. It
makes me nervous![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0140 }======------
Don't worry. We'll be fine
once a battle starts.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0141 }======------
Nice ship. Good workmanship.
We have nothing to fear![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0142 }======------
I'll be OK. I'll just carry a
bucket with me into battle.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0143 }======------
No seasickness for me! But I
swim like a rock.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0144 }======------
I feel ill. Don't make me
fight, please.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0145 }======------
Ah, the sea. I have long
wished for a sea voyage.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0146 }======------
My first time at sea. Pretty
exciting.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0147 }======------
I hate the sea![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0148 }======------
Did I hear "Land Ho!"? No?
Just wishful thinking, I
guess.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0149 }======------
Monsters? Let me at 'em![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #014A }======------
So this is a ship? Rad![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #014B }======------
I'm tired of looking at the
same people all the time.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #014C }======------
I wish there was a spell to
cure seasickness![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #014D }======------
This rocking back and forth
is putting me to sleep.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #014E }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #014F }======------
Yes. Sea travel is quite
nice. I should have taken a
voyage long ago.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0150 }======------
I like it down here where
it's nice and dry.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0151 }======------
What if I'm thrown into
the sea?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0152 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0153 }======------
I'm an expert at attacking
from the air at sea.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0154 }======------
We are most useful at sea,
fighting from the air.
Remember that, OK?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0155 }======------
Hey, I can't swim![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0156 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0157 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0158 }======------
Up and down, up and down.
Pardon me, but my lunch wants
to join the sea.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0159 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #015A }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #015B }======------
I'm ill, but I'll fight if
you really need me.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #015C }======------
....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #015D }======------
[$C8] and the Shining
Force followed Kane's trail
to the town of Rindo....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #015E }======------
The Shining Force arrived in
Bustoke, a town built into a
mountainside.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #015F }======------
The Shining Force reached the
Pao Prairie to discover that
Pao was a town of wagons![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0160 }======------
After a week at sea, sentries
spotted a horde of monsters
approaching the ship....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0161 }======------
The Shining Force finally
reached the port of Rudo, far
from Prompt.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0162 }======------
The Shining Force quickly
reached Prompt, hoping
that they had come in time.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0163 }======------
Runefaust at last! The long
and perilous journey is near
its end.[$CD]
It is up to the Shining Force
whether it ends as a
triumph for Light or Darkness.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0164 }======------
The Legacy of the Ancients,
the Door, the Key....What
can it all mean?[$CD]
No matter what the cost, the
mystery must be solved, and
Runefaust's plans foiled.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0165 }======------
[$C8] and the Shining
Force head toward Bustoke.
What awaits them there?[$CD]
The legacy of the Ancients
is still a mystery. Will
they ever solve it?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0166 }======------
With the Laser Eye gone,
the Shining Force heads toward
the moving town of Pao.[$CD]
Knowing that Runefaust is
gathering its forces, our
heroes hurried onward.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0167 }======------
Thus did the Shining Force
free Uranbatol and set sail
for a land of legend....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0168 }======------
The ship drifted off course,
lost at sea. What will become
of the Shining Force?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0169 }======------
Will Darksol release Dark
Dragon from the bonds of the
Ancients?[$CD]
Or will [$C8] stop
Darksol and save all of
Rune from the ultimate evil?[$CD]
The Shining Force hurries
on to Prompt....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #016A }======------
The Shining Force is now in a
desperate race against time.
Dark Dragon is awakening![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #016B }======------
Welcome! Do come in! We've
got the best, you know. Take
your time, take your time![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #016C }======------
Anything else?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #016D }======------
What do you need, then?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #016E }======------
Thank you. Do come again![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #016F }======------
What would you like?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0170 }======------
[$CA], right?
That comes to [$C5] coins.
OK?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0171 }======------
Rats! We almost had a deal.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0172 }======------
You don't have enough money
to buy that. Sorry.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0173 }======------
Who do you wish to have it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0174 }======------
[$C6] can't use this. Do you
still want it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0175 }======------
[$C6]'s hands are full. How
about someone else?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0176 }======------
Here you go! Use it in good
health, my friend.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0177 }======------
Want anything else?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0178 }======------
Sorry, no deals today.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0179 }======------
I have some great stuff here.
See anything you like?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #017A }======------
Let's see. Who wants to sell,
and which item?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #017B }======------
I'll give you [$C5] coins
for it. OK?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #017C }======------
Say, that's nice! How about
[$C5] coins for it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #017D }======------
Sorry we couldn't cut a deal.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #017E }======------
I'd like to help, but we
don't deal with these.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #017F }======------
It's mine, all mine![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0180 }======------
Thanks, I don't sell this
type of item, but I know
someone who does.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0181 }======------
Thanks, I don't sell this
type of item, but I know
someone who does.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0182 }======------
Anything else to sell?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0183 }======------
Hey, wait a minute. I don't
deal with cursed items! It's
bad luck, you know.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0184 }======------
Repair whose item?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0185 }======------
That'll cost [$C5] coins. OK?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0186 }======------
Who are you trying to fool?
That item's not damaged.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0187 }======------
I'd like to repair it, but
you seem to be a bit low on
money. Sorry.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0188 }======------
Whoa! I don't repair cursed
items! Nope, not me. I'm
nobody's fool![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0189 }======------
OK. Just a minute.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #018A }======------
I have it right here. It's as
good as new! Try not to
damage it again, OK?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #018B }======------
Anything else?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #018C }======------
Welcome, [$C8]!
I've been expecting you.[$CD]
How can I help you
and the Shining Force?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #018D }======------
Remember that I'm always
willing to record your deeds.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #018E }======------
Can I help in some other way?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #018F }======------
May the Powers of Light be
always with you, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0190 }======------
Shall I make a record of your
adventures thus far?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0191 }======------
There, my record of your
exploits is complete.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0192 }======------
Will you continue your
journey?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0193 }======------
Yes, you should rest before
continuing. Remember, a tired
warrior is soon a dead one![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0194 }======------
Well, let's just see who
needs my help.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0195 }======------
Hmmm...no one's poisoned.[$CD][$C0]

Well, then, let me tell you

I saw our land in ruins. Evil
creatures roamed our halls!
It seemed so real![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0337 }======------
Varios seemed very upset when
he passed this way. Perhaps
you should look for him.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0338 }======------
I sense you are headed into
great danger, [$C8].
Can I be of any assistance?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0339 }======------
There are so many monsters

There's no escape![$CD][$C0]

Hey there, youngster. My name

story?[$C0]

I understand. I had things

Perhaps some other time.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #033C }======------
Thanks. No one talks to me
anymore. All too busy. Want
to hear a secret?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #033D }======------
Never trust anyone outside
this city! Murderers and
thieves, all of 'em![$CD]
I ought to know. I used to
be a great warrior. Been all
over the world.[$CD]
Why, I have half a mind to go

Hey! What are you doing?[$CD][$C0]

An order from the castle.
No one leaves.[$CD][$C0]

Sorry, [$C8]. Talk to

leave. Orders are orders![$CD][$C0]

I see that you have the King's

------======{ MSG #0365 }======------
Why I never! How rude![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0366 }======------
Pardon me, I must clean the
king's bedroom. No time to
talk. Messy, messy, messy![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0367 }======------
Take care, [$C8]. It is
more dangerous out there than
you suspect! Or so I've heard.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0368 }======------
Flee when you are in great
danger. A dead hero is of
little use to anyone![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0369 }======------
No one enters here without
Lord Varios' permission![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #036A }======------
Everybody's waiting. Please
go inside, quickly![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #036B }======------
Good luck, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #036C }======------
Greetings, [$C8].
I am Mae, Varios' daughter.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #036D }======------
The other knights feel that
father has wasted his time on
you. We shall see![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #036E }======------
...that is the story, Varios.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #036F }======------
Mmmm....Then, your majesty,
we have no choice but to send
[$C8], a young fighter.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0370 }======------
First you must listen to what
the king has to say.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0371 }======------
For centuries, our people
have watched the Gate of the
Ancients, as its guardians.[$CD]
Beyond that gate lies we know
not what, not even if it is of
the Light or the Darkness.[$CD]
But the Ancients knew, and
they sealed it beyond the gate
and set us as guards.[$CD]
And now we find that we may
have failed in our mission,
our reason for existence.[$CD]
Signs have been seen that
forces of Runefaust are at the
Gate of the Ancients![$CD]
Whatever evil they are
planning, we must stop it
at all costs and at once![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0372 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0373 }======------
But we must not panic the
people. A small group of
young but skilled warriors...[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0374 }======------
Yes! He could do it. He could
leave town unnoticed and have
a chance to succeed, perhaps.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0375 }======------
Hummph! Seems like a mighty
poor plan to me! But who
listens to my advice?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0376 }======------
Yes, Nova, I agree.
[$C8]! Will you
take the task?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0377 }======------
Very well! Now, return to
town and gather your troops.
Come back when you're ready.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0378 }======------
What? You refuse?! It seems
that Varios was wrong about
you, after all. Too bad.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0379 }======------
Have you reconsidered? Will
you go to the Gate of the
Ancients and investigate?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #037A }======------
Gather your troops, quickly.
There is no time to lose![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #037B }======------
You have your troops, but you
need supplies. Take this to
purchase what you need.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #037C }======------
I'll leave everything to you.
I must fortify the castle.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #037D }======------
It'll never work! We're all
doomed, I tell you. Doomed![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #037E }======------
([$C8] gains 100 coins!)[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #037F }======------
A cart will take you to the
Gate of the Ancients. Go now
and carry out your task![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0380 }======------
Good luck, [$C8]. You
must succeed or Guardiana
falls![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0381 }======------
Oh, [$C8]. Good. I was
going to look for you.
First, listen to the King.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0382 }======------
Whew! Training wears me out.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0383 }======------
Beat it, [$C8]! This
training field's too rough
for the likes of you![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0384 }======------
We'll make quick work of
those Runefaust beasts![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0385 }======------
The Guardiana knights have no
need of you, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0386 }======------
Don't let them get to you,
[$C8]. Some knights are
always complaining.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0387 }======------
We have trained until our
arms are ready to fall off!
When will we see battle?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0388 }======------
These are my quarters. Find
someplace else to sleep![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0389 }======------
Why you? Why couldn't I lead
the Shining Force? Arrrgh![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #038A }======------
Sir, yes, sir![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #038B }======------
What's that troops? I can't
hear you! Louder![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #038C }======------
Oh my! What a lovely view![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #038D }======------
[$C8] looks into
the telescope.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #038E }======------
A huge eye! Aiiiieeee![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #038F }======------
Whoa! You scared me for a
bit there! I was just looking
around, admiring the land.[$CD]
Lately I've seen moving
people or creatures near the
Gate of the Ancients....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0390 }======------
It is indeed a lovely view.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0391 }======------
Huh?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0392 }======------
Hey, cut that out! You can't
just push your way in here.
Get out![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0393 }======------
Wait, [$C8]! Nova sent
us. We're going with you. I am
Luke the warrior.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0394 }======------
Ken the knight, at your
service, [$C8]! I'll
follow wherever you lead.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0395 }======------
I am Tao. I'm only an
apprentice mage, but I'll do
my best.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0396 }======------
I am Hans, an elven archer.
I'm coming, but don't put me
in the front lines, OK?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0397 }======------
([$C6] joins the
Shining Force!)[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0398 }======------
Hey, [$C8]! Don't try to
sneak out of town without
me![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0399 }======------
Now that you have your
comrades, return to the king
to hear his final commands.[$CD]
I'll follow your progress
and offer advice as you face
the vile hordes of Runefaust.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #039A }======------
Meet us at headquarters back
in the castle![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #039B }======------
[$C1][$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #039C }======------
Well, that's settled. See you
at headquarters![$CD][$C0]

Monsters, fighting...I can't
take much more of this![$CD][$C0]

Their commander...Kane of
Runefaust...evil to the core![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03A1 }======------
I wanted to fight. But my legs
were shaking so hard I got
dizzy and passed out.[$CD][$C0]

I sent my family away, but I
stayed and fought.[$CD][$C0]

We won...this time. But what
about the next attack?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03AB }======------
Just let them try to come in
here! I'll whap 'em silly![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03AC }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #03AD }======------
Good for you, youngster. Come
see me later. Right now I'm
tired from all the commotion.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03AE }======------
You know, that little fracas
made me want to fight again.
[$C8], I'm joining up![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03AF }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #03B0 }======------
I'll be at headquarters.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03B1 }======------
You made it back! You're a
little late. We were almost
overrun by Runefaust![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03B2 }======------
We held them off, but we've
suffered greatly, as you'll
see as you wander around.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03B3 }======------
Most of our knights were lost
in the battle...many homes
were damaged. But we held![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03B4 }======------
The king is eager to see you.
He's up in the castle,
planning our defense.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03B5 }======------
We'll keep watch here.
Runefaust is bound to attack
again, sooner or later.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03B6 }======------
Don't worry about your
comrades. We've sent them up
to headquarters.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03B7 }======------
We'll keep watch here.
Runefaust is bound to attack
again, sooner or later.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03B8 }======------
We almost lost. I still don't
know why they pulled back![$CD][$C0]

I saw this in a dream.

lead us now, with Anri far
away?[$CD][$C0]

Talk to the old man in the
chapel. He knows much.
Perhaps he can advise you.[$CD][$C0]

Blasted telescope! What good
is it if I couldn't spot the
Runefaust army with it?[$CD][$C0]

The treasure...they took all
they could carry. Get it
back, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

Those beasts were

Defeat Runefaust![$CD][$C0]

Hurry, [$C8]! Kane of
Runefaust has injured the
king and Lord Varios![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03D2 }======------
Go away, Kane!
I don't understand what
you are talking about![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03D3 }======------
Anyway, the treasure of
Guardiana is in my hand now.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03D4 }======------
I won't let you take that!
Just leave![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03D5 }======------
Sword of Darkness!
Show me your power!![$CD][$C0]

No! Father!
I... I can't believe it!
[$C4]I'll, I'll...[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03D8 }======------
Now, Guardiana is unworthy
of my attention.
Farewell, fools![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03D9 }======------
[$C8]!
Look to the king![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03DA }======------
[$C8]...Mae...
I don't think I'll live
much longer, though Varios[$CD]
protected me. Listen,
the gate of the Ancients is
the only access to the Tower.[$CD]
And the gate can be opened
only by the key.
You must find it before it[$CD]
falls into the hands of evil!
You should never let them
open the gate![$CD]
Find out why Runefaust is
interested in the gate...[$CD]
Please...[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03DB }======------
Mae...
Daughter of the great
Varios, help [$C8]...[$CD]
avenge your father!...
and be strong...[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03DC }======------
Your majesty....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03DD }======------
Please tell my daughter,
Anri, in Manarina...to stay
strong, for her people....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03DE }======------
(The king dies.)[$CD][$C0]

Now is not the time for tears

out next goal.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03E1 }======------
I'll await you at headquarters.
[$C4]Be quick![$CD][$C0]

I was so scared...
Kane...
His single glance froze me![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03E3 }======------
[$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03E4 }======------
Let's go find that key!
I don't want to see any more
of these tragedies.[$CD][$C0]

Arrrghhh![$CD][$C0]

Will your journey take you to
the town of Manarina?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #03E8 }======------
Oh. That's too bad....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03E9 }======------
Then see Princess Anri! She
can help you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03EA }======------
Good luck, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

Good luck, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

Alterone? It lies to the
northeast.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #03ED }======------
Alterone is an ally of ours.
I wonder if it was also
attacked by Runefaust.[$CD][$C0]

It's a mystery to me why
Runefaust attacked us.[$CD][$C0]

Hello, [$C8]. I know a
legend that may help you.
Will you hear it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0400 }======------
Somewhere on Rune is a land
of the Ancients. The key to

Talk to our king.[$CD][$C0]

What? Runefaust attacked
Guardiana? Hard to believe.
Follow me, [$C8].[$CD]
I have a...tactician we
should consult with on this
matter.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0426 }======------
No one enters. We have
important guests.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0427 }======------
The king is waiting for you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0428 }======------
I'm sorry about this, but I
must protect Alterone.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0429 }======------
I have nothing to say to you,
[$C8] of Guardiana.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #042A }======------
Surprised, [$C8]?[$CD]
Alterone has already
surrendered!
Put him in a prison cell![$CD]
I'll decide how to best
dispose of him in a day
or two.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #042B }======------
Kane, you promised that
Alterone would not be
involved in any of this![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #042C }======------
Quiet, fool! Or I'll
throw you in the cell with him!
Take him away.[$CD][$C0]

(The bars are solid. There's
no way to break them.)
...Footsteps approach![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #042E }======------
The time has come to strike
back at Runefaust! I'm letting
you out.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #042F }======------
Please help me save Alterone!
I'll fight alongside you. I
can heal too![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0430 }======------
There's a secret passage. Use
it to escape.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0431 }======------
I'll be at headquarters.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0432 }======------
We can't go this way. They'll
spot us for sure.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0433 }======------
Please be patient a
little longer. I'll get you
out of here soon.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0434 }======------
I came to tell the king to
fight, but Kane had already
convinced him to surrender.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0435 }======------
Even though I am in prison, I
can still perform my duties.
How can I help you?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0436 }======------
I was freed when you won the
battle. Thank you! Perhaps I
can help you now.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0437 }======------
What? Guardiana was
attacked? By Runefaust?
Rubbish! Get out of here![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0438 }======------
You heard him--beat it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0439 }======------
Our king is entertaining an
important guest. Who do you
think you are to barge in?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #043A }======------
The king has given orders
that you may enter. Highly
unusual, but go on in.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #043B }======------
Welcome to Alterone Castle![$CD][$C0]

I'll hold you responsible if
she gets hurt![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #043F }======------
Sorry, [$C8], no time to
chat. I've got a castle
to guard![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0440 }======------
Good job, [$C8]. We'll be
on guard from now on.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0441 }======------
Watching you fight was
inspiring. No more sitting
around all day for me!.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0442 }======------
Well, I hope you're proud of
yourself. You've ruined my
business![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0443 }======------
To think that we let a snake
like Kane in here. Never
again, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0444 }======------
I shall never fail my king
again, trust me.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0445 }======------
The mages in Manarina are
said to know everything about
everything![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0446 }======------
Rindo is a town on the coast.
Ships from far-off lands dock
there.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0447 }======------
Rindo even has a circus! I'd
love to see a circus. Tell me
about it if you see it![$CD][$C0]

Looking for an underground
path? Check the relief of the
dragon. Can't tell you more![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #044B }======------
[$C8], I wasn't myself.
Kane had some power over
me. Can you forgive me?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #044C }======------
Alas, you're right. What I
did was unforgivable.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #044D }======------
Thank you! I want to help
you. Search the dragon head
to reveal a secret passage![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #044E }======------
Head toward Rindo, then to
Manarina. Someone there
should be able to help you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #044F }======------
Kane of Runefaust spoke of a
door and a key. Has he found
the key yet?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0450 }======------
We're doomed! That door is
said to hold back an ancient
evil. All is lost![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0451 }======------
Then there's still time! You
must hurry after him![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0452 }======------
There is a chain inside the
head! Do you wish to pull it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0453 }======------
[$C8] pulls the chain![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0454 }======------
[$C8] and the Shining
Force chase Kane to
the town of Rindo...[$CD]
But they have no idea
what kind of enemies
await on their way...[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0455 }======------
Welcome to Alterone,
stranger![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0456 }======------
Danger? From Runefaust? Ha![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0457 }======------
The Ancients, Darkness,
Runefaust? Sorry, those things
don't concern us.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0458 }======------
I hear there's an underground
passage in the castle. Sssh!
Let's keep it a secret.[$CD][$C0]

have is cheap stuff. I can't
stand it.[$CD][$C0]

today.[$CD][$C0]

This is a great business.
Everyone in town comes here
at least once a day.[$CD][$C0]

No one worries about anything
nowadays. It seems pretty odd

Don't make me glare at you![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0465 }======------
There have been a lot of
strangers visiting the castle
lately. A regular parade.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0466 }======------
Don't judge our king too
harshly. He's pretty good, as
kings go.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0467 }======------
The king called the friar to
the castle. I always wanted
to stand up here.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0469 }======------
Don't stand in front of the
drawbridge. You're liable to
get run over by the traffic.[$CD][$C0]

You haven't seen my daughter
Khris around, have you? She
wants to be an adventurer![$CD][$C0]

Greetings, [$C8]. With my
powers I can see the future.
Care to know your fate?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #046E }======------
If you are too scared to hear
my words, how can you hope to
survive the trials you face?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #046F }======------
Death lies to the north. Go
back to Guardiana, for your
doom awaits if you continue.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0470 }======------
You must be [$C8],
right?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0471 }======------
Strange...I was so sure....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0472 }======------
I knew it! I lived in
Guardiana until a few months
ago. I just heard a rumor.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0473 }======------
A friend of mine told me that
Guardiana was totally wiped
out. Is that true?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0474 }======------
I hoped it wasn't true. The
friend who told me about it
went to inform the castle.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0475 }======------
Good...but my friend has
already left to inform the
castle![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0476 }======------
I love to fish. Hey, a bite,
I feel a bite! Don't just
stand there, help me pull![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0477 }======------
Wow! It must be a whale. Pull
again![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0478 }======------
One more time![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0479 }======------
I caught it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #047A }======------
Drat! More gold coins?
Shucks, I thought I had a
fish. Just toss 'em back.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #047B }======------
Here, fishee, fishee, fishee![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #047C }======------
I'm not going to give up![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #047D }======------
What a rude thing to do![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #047E }======------
Mud all over my new dress!
Arrggh! I can't stand it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #047F }======------
I'll get you![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0480 }======------
Watch out! I don't want you
to splash mud on my beautiful
new dress![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0481 }======------
Who are you? Go back to
wherever you came from![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0482 }======------
Thank you, [$C8].
Alterone is now free,
thanks to you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0483 }======------
Never trust Runefaust, that's
what I always say.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0484 }======------
Thank you, for getting rid of
that evil Kane person.[$CD][$C0]

Hey, where did that witch go?
She's up to no good, mark my

------======{ MSG #0488 }======------
I think I'll return to
Guardiana. They need me.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0489 }======------
We were never in any real
danger. Who would hurt us?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #048A }======------
Perhaps in Manarina they'll
know how to deal with Kane.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #048B }======------
I wish you well in your
quest! Come back when it's
over and you can relax.[$CD][$C0]

That was as close as I ever
want to get to a battle![$CD][$C0]

can do to repay you.[$CD][$C0]

Whew! It was amazing. I've

Battles in the streets, friars
in prison....What's this town
coming to?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0492 }======------
Thank you for driving away
those Runefaust beasts.[$CD][$C0]

I would have fought with you,
but I didn't want the battle
to be too lopsided.[$CD][$C0]

Oh, well, it was nice while

Good luck, [$C8]. Give
Kane a wallop for us![$CD][$C0]

Before you came, the knights
of Runefaust spoke of the town
of Rindo.[$CD][$C0]

That Dr. Crock! A brilliant

Sorry, stranger. Soldiers
bought almost all our ships.
That one is the mayor's.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04B9 }======------
The answer's still "No!"
That's the mayor's ship. Go
talk to him if you like.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04BA }======------
The mayor's ship is yours![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04BB }======------
This is bad! That was the
only ship in town. Maybe the
mayor can help you again.[$CD][$C0]

I'm sure the mayor is
grateful that you saved his
grandson. Go talk to him.[$CD][$C0]

I can't wait for the circus!
Isn't it exciting?[$CD][$C0]

The tent is up, but when will
the circus start?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04BF }======------
Guardiana's Princess Anri is
in Manarina. I hope things
are quieter there.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04C0 }======------
Did you meet Princess Anri?
Isn't she wonderful?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04C1 }======------
Yes, I am the mayor. Kane of
Runefaust bought all our ships
and sailed away.[$CD]
So sorry, no ships are left.
My ship? You can't have it!
Now please leave.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04C2 }======------
Didn't you hear me?
Get lost![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04C3 }======------
I have a favor to ask of you.
Grant it and the ship is all
yours! What do you say?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04C4 }======------
Well, then, no ship. Please
leave.[$CD][$C0]

My grandson is missing. If
you find him and bring him
back, my ship is yours.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04C6 }======------
So, [$C8], please
find my grandson![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04C7 }======------
Thank you so much,

It's all yours now![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04C8 }======------
What! They burnt your
ship? Now we have no
single ship in this town![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04C9 }======------
The only other town with
ships is Uranbatol. But it's
a long way from here.[$CD]
Are you still determined
to go?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #04CA }======------
Well then, stay here. You'll
be fine.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04CB }======------
Did you change your mind?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04CC }======------
Uranbatol is very remote.
It's far to the northeast. Go
to Shade Abbey first.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04CD }======------
Ask my son all the details
about the journey.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04CE }======------
Our son is just dying to see
the circus.[$CD][$C0]

Thank you so much for saving
my son.[$CD][$C0]

Please help us find our son.[$CD][$C0]

Thank you, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

Head north to Shade Abbey.
You shouldn't have much
trouble finding it.[$CD][$C0]

I love the circus![$CD][$C0]

Thank you for saving me![$CD][$C0]

Yep. The circus tent will be
right over there.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04D8 }======------
Sorry, the circus people said
to let no one in yet.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04D9 }======------
The mayor's grandson? Yes, he
went in the tent and never
came out! That's strange.[$CD]
I'll let you in to look for
him. Be careful. Some of
those people look dangerous.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04DA }======------
Be careful in there![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04DB }======------
It's my fault. I should have
noticed he was in there too
long. Thank you, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

Shade Abbey...it has some
connection to Guardiana, but
I can't think of it....[$CD][$C0]

done.[$CD][$C0]

Man, it's really hot. My back

------======{ MSG #04E2 }======------
It's fixed! My steam suit
finally works! Show him,
Guntz. Walk over here.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04E3 }======------
Oh, well. Just a little more
tinkering, that's all.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04E4 }======------
I don't care. Just please
finish it and let me out![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #04E5 }======------
It still doesn't seem right.[$CD][$C0]

Silence! Just do as I ask![$CD][$C0]

You defeated my pets, but you
won't bother me any more.
You're going to burn![$CD][$C0]

Burn, [$C8], burn![$CD]
You'll serve as an example

------======{ MSG #0520 }======------
Maybe later.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0521 }======------
Sssh. Go away![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0522 }======------
Pardon me, I'm in the middle
of a difficult passage here.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0523 }======------
Yes! It's all so clear now.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0524 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0525 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0526 }======------

Where am I? Don't tell anyone
I got lost. I'm too old to
get lost.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0528 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0529 }======------
This place is too busy! I
can't do my research![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0530 }======------
So sorry about the attack. We
can't be too careful in these
troubled times.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0531 }======------
Otrant is the wisest among
us. Follow his advice.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0532 }======------
Beneath this building lies
the Cavern of Darkness! A
horrible place, they say![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0533 }======------
You made it through the
cavern? No one has ever done
that before![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0534 }======------
I am Otrant. You wish to find
the key to the Accursed Door
before Kane of Runefaust?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0535 }======------
Then I cannot help you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0536 }======------
A legend tells that the Pool
of the Ancients below is tied
in with the Accursed Door.[$CD]
To reach the pool, you first
need the Orb of Light from the
Cavern of Darkness.[$CD]
Defeat the monsters in the
cavern, and the orb is yours.
Then return to me.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0537 }======------
[$C8]! Enter the cavern
and retrieve the Orb of Light![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0538 }======------
Use the orb at the pool
behind the secret door below![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0539 }======------
The Orb of Light has chosen
you, [$C8], to battle the
evil that threatens Rune.[$CD]
You are truly the servants
of the Powers of Light,
the Shining Force![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #053A }======------
Cross the sea from Rindo and
go to the Eastern Continent.
You must stop Kane![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #053B }======------
Do you want find the key to
the Accursed Door before the
Runefaust army finds it?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #053C }======------
Have you already seen the
Pool of the Ancients?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #053D }======------
The pool lies beneath this
building. They say it speaks,
but only to a chosen few.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #053E }======------
An amazing sight, eh?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #053F }======------
You spoke with the spirit of
the pool? I though that was
only a legend![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0540 }======------
Hello! Don't usually get
guests here. I'm thought to
be rather strange, you know.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0541 }======------
I have something for you.
It's inside that fake monster
over there. Go get it![$CD]
It's a Domingo egg. A very
useful item. Hatch it when
you get a chance![$CD]
Come back before you leave.
I may have some information
for you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0542 }======------
To cross the sea, take a ship
at Rindo.[$CD]
Goodbye, [$C8]!
Perhaps we'll meet again![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0543 }======------
[$C8] checks
the machine.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0544 }======------
You did well to reach this
room. Have you ever heard of
a place called Shade Abbey?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0545 }======------
You young people think you
know everything![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0546 }======------
It was founded long ago by
folk from Guardiana. They
know much of the Ancients.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0547 }======------
Sorry. No time, no time![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0548 }======------
A strange aura is coming from
the direction of Shade Abbey.
Something evil is there.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0549 }======------
Show the Orb of Light to
Otrant. He'll know what you
should do with it.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #054A }======------
Now all shall know you as the
Shining Force![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #054B }======------
Yes, I am Anri. What? What
about Guardiana, and my
father? Who are you?[$CD]
I don't have to listen to this
nonsense from someone I don't
even know. Go away now![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #054C }======------
Wait, Princess Anri! Please
listen to [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #054D }======------
Nova![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #054E }======------
This is [$C8]. He is
leading the fight against the
Runefaust army.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #054F }======------
But my father...the Sword of
Light...and Guardiana...is it
true, Nova?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0550 }======------
Yes, your majesty, it is all
true, I'm afraid.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0551 }======------
I...I need to be alone for a
while....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0552 }======------
[$C8], Princess Anri is
in great sorrow. Please
go to her and talk to her.[$CD]
Remind her of her duty to
Guardiana. Our people need
her now.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0553 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0554 }======------
I know my duty now,
[$C8]. It is to hunt
Kane down and make him[$CD]
pay for what he did.
I'll fight with you.
I'm sure that's what my[$CD]
father would want me to do.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0555 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0556 }======------
I'll be at headquarters.
Vengeance shall be ours![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0557 }======------
What, you again? Go away![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0558 }======------
We understand, your majesty.
But do not let your grief
overwhelm you....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0559 }======------
I...I must be alone now....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #055A }======------
Great view, eh?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #055B }======------
Drat! Not as good a view from
down here. Better climb back
up....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #055C }======------
I'll make it someday![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #055D }======------
Welcome to my research room.
I change humans into animals.
Care to give it a try?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #055E }======------
No curiosity, eh? When I see
you next, I'll turn you into
a frog![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #055F }======------
Very good! Let's start right
away. Please stand over
there.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0560 }======------
Now, let's begin.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0561 }======------
Yes! Success! What a tasty
looking hen![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0562 }======------
If I can change humans to
hens, we won't ever have to
worry about food![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0563 }======------
Seeing you makes me hungry. I
wonder what's for dinner?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0564 }======------
Things are getting stranger
around here every day![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0565 }======------
What in the world is a hen
doing here?! Shoo, shoo![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0566 }======------
What's up, hen?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0567 }======------
Old Gert turned you into a
hen? That's easily fixed![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0568 }======------
Go away! Only cute animals
can get past me![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0569 }======------
Well, what a cute little hen.
Go on through![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #056A }======------
A hen went in and a person
came out. What a great place
to work, huh?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #056B }======------
What a nice hen! How could
someone eat a little hen?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #056C }======------
Old Gert's up to her usual
tricks. Someone here should
be able to change you back.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #056D }======------
Oh, [$C8]. It's nice
of you to try to cheer me up.
But I'm not fond of hens.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #056E }======------
Next time, don't volunteer
for experiments![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #056F }======------
Chicken soup tonight. Yum![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0570 }======------
Har, har! You're just in time.
Would you like to observe?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0571 }======------
Good. Sit quietly and watch a
master at work![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0572 }======------
Who said you can refuse?
Stand there and watch![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0573 }======------
I'm researching summoning
demons. Now, I'm going to
begin the experiment.[$CD]
I shall summon a dreadful
thing from my worst
nightmares![$CD]
Come forth, oh creature of
Darkness! I conjure you
forth![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0574 }======------
Huh?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0575 }======------
You! When are you going to
stop these tricks? Come 
home right now![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0576 }======------
Oops! Sorry, dear! I'll never
do that again. Yes, I'll be
good, honest![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0577 }======------
My name is Arthur. I used to
be a knight. I'm not really a
battle type. I like it here.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0578 }======------
I want to fight again. I can
help you against Runefaust.
I'm coming with you![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0579 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #057A }======------
I'll be at headquarters. Call
me when you're ready to go
into battle![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #057B }======------
The Cavern of Darkness lies
beyond. Only the strongest
survive its trials![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #057C }======------
You are not ready for the
Cavern of Darkness. You may
not pass.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #057D }======------
I don't know if I will ever
see you alive again! Good
luck![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #057E }======------
You're back! And you have the
Orb of Light! Tell Otrant,
quickly.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #057F }======------
The spirit of the pool spoke
to you? Go tell Otrant all
that was said![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0580 }======------
How long I have waited for
this summons! [$C8],
you are a hero without peer![$CD]
The legacy of the Ancients is
an evil being that has been
sealed away for 1,000 years.[$CD]
Darksol now searches for the
key to unlock that seal.
You must stop him![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0581 }======------
I am here to help you on your
sea voyage. Are you in need
of my services?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0582 }======------
Welcome to Waral![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0583 }======------
It'll take some time to
repair the ship. Try to rest
and relax.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0584 }======------
Waral is a great place, but
nothing ever happens here.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0585 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0586 }======------
Welcome to Waral Castle! The

A word of warning- Don't go
past the buoys in the water.
Danger lurks out there![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #058A }======------
Welcome to Island Hotel! No,
no! Money is not necessary.
Please make yourself at home![$CD][$C0]

One of our island's friars
is missing. We can't find him
anywhere![$CD][$C0]

There's lots to see here.
Take the guest boat if you
get tired of walking.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #058F }======------
I'm Shela, Shell's sister.
Don't go beyond those buoys.
The currents are dangerous![$CD][$C0]

I'm Shimol, Shell's aunt.
I've seen strange lights at
Ring Reef lately. Spooky![$CD][$C0]

I feel like I'm in heaven.
This is surely a paradise![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0594 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0595 }======------
They say the whole sea is
pouring into Ring Reef! What
will become of us?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0596 }======------
Some stranger left for Ring
Reef by ship. I hope nothing
happened to him.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0597 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0598 }======------
I hear there's a land called
Dragonia far to the east.
Sacred Dragons live there.[$CD][$C0]

I want to visit Ring Reef.
Would you go with me?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #059D }======------
Great! But we can't go there
right now. Too dangerous.
Maybe later.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #059E }======------
Well, I'll find someone else.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #059F }======------
Did you come here to see the
famous Ring Reef, by any
chance?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A0 }======------
I thought so. But you can't
go there right now. It's too
dangerous to even get close.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A1 }======------
Off the southern part of the
island is Ring Reef. It's
shaped like a ring.[$CD]
Now there's a hole in it and
water's pouring in and the
current is very strong.[$CD]
It's too dangerous to get
close, and we don't know what
to do about the hole.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A2 }======------
Do you like fish?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A3 }======------
You'll like it here, then.
That's all we eat.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A4 }======------
Too bad. That's all we eat.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A5 }======------
Have you ever heard of
Prompt?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A6 }======------
I bet it's just an old
legend. It doesn't really
exist![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A7 }======------
It's said that descendants of
the Ancients live there![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A8 }======------
Well, a guest! Would you like
to hear a secret?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05A9 }======------
No curiosity, I guess.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05AA }======------
I think our missing friar is
in Ring Reef. Call it a
hunch. Don't tell anyone![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05AB }======------
Greetings! We will gladly
repair your ship, if you tell
others of our lovely island.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05AC }======------
I hope you are enjoying
yourself. Rest until your
ship is fully repaired.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05AD }======------
Well, there's no law that
says the king can't own a
shop. Can I help you?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05AE }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05AF }======------
Hello, [$C8]. Remember
me, Boken? The water's great,
as long as you don't get eaten.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B0 }======------
Do you know there's an
enormous building under this
island? It's amazing![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B1 }======------
Hi! I'm Shelra, Shell's mom.
Are you planning to go past
the buoys?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B2 }======------
That's just as well.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B3 }======------
The current could dash your
boat against the rocks. Do
you still want to go?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B4 }======------
That's just as well.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B5 }======------
OK, but be careful![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B6 }======------
([$C8]'s ship was caught by the
strong current and dashed to
pieces!)[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B7 }======------
Well, I'm glad to see you're
up. You were thrown from your
ship. I rescued you.[$CD]
Strange doings! The water in
Ring Reef vanished and a
strange creature appeared.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B8 }======------
It might have something to do
with the legend of a Shining
Path that leads to Metapha.[$CD]
The legend says Metapha is
a land of the Ancients.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05B9 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05BA }======------
Please rest here after your
battle![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05BB }======------
What are you doing here? I
must inform the master![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05BC }======------
[$C8], I was waiting
for you. I used that mermaid
to bring you here....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05BD }======------
(It is the voice of the
spirit from the Pool of the
Ancients....)[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05BE }======------
The Shining Path lies behind
this door. It leads to the
land of the Ancients.[$CD]
The key to the Accursed Door
is there. I shall open the way
to the Shining Path now.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05BF }======------
No! Though it takes all of my
remaining strength, you shall
not use the path![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05C0 }======------
(The voice of the spirit is
heard again....)[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05C1 }======------
Alas, the path is blocked.
Listen. Two things are needed
to break free Dark Dragon.[$CD]
Darksol must get the key to
the door, as well as the
Manual of the Seal.[$CD]
The manual is in Dragonia.
You must stop Darksol. The
seal must not be broken![$CD]
Go to Prompt. There you
should find another Shining
Path.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05C2 }======------
[$C8], quick!
This place is collapsing!
Run![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05C3 }======------
I sense that you shall return
here at your journey's end.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05C4 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05C5 }======------
I'm so glad peace has
returned to Ring Reef![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05C6 }======------
Oh no! Ring Reef has returned
to normal. It's so boring.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05C7 }======------
Welcome to Waral Castle![$CD][$C0]

Welcome to Waral Castle![$CD][$C0]

You returned Ring Reef to
normal, I see. The king is
quite pleased.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05CB }======------
Please come again. We'll look
forward to seeing you again![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05CC }======------
What? You saw a strange
world under Ring Reef? Please
don't tease me like that.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05CD }======------
The other friar was on Ring
Reef? How strange![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05CE }======------
That Boken sure likes fish![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05CF }======------
Be sure to buy all the
weapons and items you need
before you leave.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05D0 }======------
Shell is really happy that
you're safe, [$C8].[$CD][$C0]

Shell is really anxious to
see you, [$C8].
You must see her.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05D4 }======------
Why leave? It's great here![$CD][$C0]

Be careful. Not everyone's as
nice as people here! That's
what I've heard anyway.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05D6 }======------
Peace at last![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05D7 }======------
Thanks for cleaning up under
the reef![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05D8 }======------
I'm going to spend more time
outdoors from now on.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05D9 }======------
Just once, I want to see a
Sacred Dragon. Maybe I'll go
to Dragonia some day.[$CD][$C0]

0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05DB }======------

------======{ MSG #05DC }======------
Well, I'm off again. Perhaps
I'll go to Dragonia to see
some Sacred Dragons![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05DD }======------
The ship is fixed, but you
can't leave until the king
gives his permission.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05DE }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05DF }======------
Well, [$C8], your ship is
repaired. Are you leaving
immediately?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E0 }======------
That's a good idea. Rest a
little while.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E1 }======------
I see. The payment for the
repairs comes to 1,000,000
coins. Will you pay it now?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E2 }======------
What? Well, I can't let you
go without paying![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E3 }======------
Why, don't you have enough
money![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E4 }======------
You almost believed me,
didn't you? I can't take
money from you![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E5 }======------
I thank you on behalf of my
people. Take care, and be
sure to return later![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E6 }======------
Did you really fight evil
creatures under Ring Reef?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E7 }======------
I almost believed you![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E8 }======------
How scary! They were right
under our fins![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05E9 }======------
I was right. The Shining Path
was here! Too bad it is now
blocked.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05EA }======------
What? Another Shining Path in
Prompt? You must go there
at once![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05EB }======------
It's me, Shell! You've been
with the friar at Ring Reef?
Did he tell you his secret?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05EC }======------
It's amazing! You're both
from Guardiana![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05ED }======------
His father was a friar of
Shade Abbey. He was born in
Guardiana! Amazing![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05EE }======------
Are you leaving now? Please

Welcome to Prompt![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05F3 }======------
Is this really Prompt? The
people seem a little...well,
dense, don't they?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05F4 }======------
School is good, they say. But
you can't prove it by me![$CD][$C0]

All I need to know I learned
from my cat![$CD][$C0]

School! Who needs it?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #05F8 }======------
Be quiet and sit down, you
little beasts![$CD][$C0]

The people here are so
backward. No one wants to
learn anything.[$CD][$C0]

Dark Dragon? Who cares? Let's
talk about food![$CD][$C0]

menu yet? I can't wait![$CD][$C0]

Ancients? Who are they, a
group of minstrels?[$CD][$C0]

Shining Force? What does that
taste like? Is it good to
eat?[$CD][$C0]

Whoa! I can't let anyone
past. King's orders![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0605 }======------
Shining Path, eh? Are you
sure you want to know about
that?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0606 }======------
The king might know something
about it. He's always reading
old books.[$CD][$C0]

Perhaps we should start a

I'm so bored. The classes are
too easy.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #060F }======------
Teacher! That calculation is
wrong. The correct answer is
34,765,492![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0610 }======------
I really don't have time to
do this. I should be helping

So much to know...so many

Could Dark Dragon be the
legacy the Ancients left us?
I think so.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0616 }======------
Keep after Darksol,
[$C8]. He must not
be allowed to succeed![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0617 }======------
We are all the descendants of
the Ancients. We must prevent
Dark Dragon's return![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0618 }======------
It's all up to you and the
Shining Force![$CD][$C0]

The Shining Path is described

But we'll repair it,
never fear![$CD][$C0]

The Chaos Breaker may be

Follow Adam. He will lead
you to where you can create
the Chaos Breaker.[$CD][$C0]

You are too late. Darksol
took the key to the Accursed

Go to the eye symbol and

I am Adam, a robot soldier. I

Ready for your last fight?[$CD][$C0]

keep that manual from him![$CD][$C0]

Ah, Kane. Feeling more like
yourself now, are you?[$CD][$C0]

This is the end, Darksol![$CD]
[$C8], get out now!
You'll only be destroyed
if you stay![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #066A }======------
I can't let [$C8] go![$CD]
Now that I have what I
wanted, I have no further
need of him![$CD]
For you see, dear friends,
I have both the key
and the manual.[$CD]
Dark Dragon will soon
be free again![$CD][$C0]

Go, [$C8], run!

Darksol suddenly appeared.
He told us not to speak about

join the Shining Force?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #06DB }======------
Wait! I must protect Bustoke.
I'll join you some other
time.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06DC }======------
It 's just as well. I'll stay
here and defend Bustoke.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06DD }======------
Kokichi never listens to me
when he's doing research.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06DE }======------
I'm helping Kokichi to figure
out how to fly.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06DF }======------
...Hum, hmm....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E0 }======------
What are you doing? Don't
touch anything, you meddler![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E1 }======------
New in town, eh? Go out back
and I'll show you my latest
invention.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E2 }======------
Watch carefully![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E3 }======------
Here I go![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E4 }======------
Good luck, Kokichi![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E5 }======------
Well, it didn't work this
time either....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E6 }======------
It always looks good at
first, then something goes
wrong. It never fails.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E7 }======------
Another failure. I'm starting
to think Kokichi should just
give up.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E8 }======------
You! Did you bring
Moon Stone?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #06E9 }======------
Not yet? Then we cannot save
Zylo! You must get it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06EA }======------
Yes, that is Moon Stone.
I will make Lunar Dew
immediately.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06EB }======------
Here you go. Lunar Dew!
Zylo will make a
full recovery.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06EC }======------
Quick!
Take the Lunar Dew to
Zylo immediately![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06ED }======------
Good, Zylo was saved! It's
all because of my medicine![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06EE }======------
What! You don't have it?
Well, where is it?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06EF }======------
Please save Zylo![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06F0 }======------
Return here after you get
Lunar Dew. You'll be in great
danger without it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06F1 }======------
Do you really want me to open
the prison door?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #06F2 }======------
That's too bad. You're the
only one who can save him.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06F3 }======------
Please be careful![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06F4 }======------
What do you want? Leave me
alone or I'll tear you apart![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06F5 }======------
([$C8] poured
Lunar Dew into
Zylo's mouth!)[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06F6 }======------
Yuk! Awful taste. But I'm
myself again. What a relief![$CD]
I can never repay you for
this, but I'm going to
join the Shining Force![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #06F7 }======------
0[$C0]

I'll wait at headquarters.[$CD][$C0]

Only you can save Zylo![$CD][$C0]

Zylo is a warwolf warrior. He

Even if you defeat Elliott,

I am Earnest. Balbazak
destroyed my town. I want
revenge![$CD][$C0]

The engine driver decides

He is definitely my type!
...But why he is on Runefaust
side? I just don't get it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0718 }======------
General Elliott is one of
the greatest warlords
of Runefaust.
[$CD]But, I'm sure he is not evil of heart.
[$CD]He was the one who saved
us when a group of bandits
invaded this town.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0719 }======------
Then I don't have to tell you
to watch out for sudden
moves.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #071A }======------
I hear the engine. It's
almost time to leave.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #071B }======------
Are you [$C8]?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #071C }======------
The guy in the corner wants

very important.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #071D }======------
Oh, sorry. Never mind.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #071E }======------
Say, that was General Elliott!
A fine being, so they say.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #071F }======------
I have to pack up soon, or
I'll miss the train![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0720 }======------
Who are you? I can't let any

------======{ MSG #0721 }======------
We travel all over Pao

------======{ MSG #0722 }======------
Who are you? I can't let any

Everything is ready! Full

Makes me feel alive![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0728 }======------
Greetings, [$C8]! I am
General Elliott of Runefaust.
Will you listen to me?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0729 }======------
Good, for what I have to say
should interest you....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #072A }======------
No matter, you must hear what
I have to say....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #072B }======------
Runefaust has been corrupted
by Darksol. He came from
nowhere to sway our king.[$CD]
Darksol told King Ramladu
that the world would
be his to rule forever.[$CD]
All he needed was the legacy
of the Ancients, Darksol
claimed. Our King listened.[$CD]
Though I hate Darksol and his
plans, I am a loyal subject
of King Ramladu.[$CD]
When we meet next,
[$C8], it will be on the
battlefield![$CD]
Our king is fully under
Darksol's influence. All this
warfare is Darksol's doing.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #072C }======------
If you defeat me in battle,
please free Runefaust from
Darksol's clutches![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #072D }======------
I am Queen Koron. Have you
enjoyed your visit? I think
we're ready to leave.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #072E }======------
Everything is ready, your
highness. We can leave any
time you wish.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #072F }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0730 }======------
Well, let's not be rude to
our visitor. Is it OK with
you if we move along?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0731 }======------
Please let me know when you
are ready.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0732 }======------
We'll be leaving now. Good
luck. Please step outside.
It's time for us to go![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0733 }======------
Hey, are you [$C8]?
My name is Vankar. Did
you hear about me in Pao?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0734 }======------
Good, good, I was pretty
famous there. But now I'm
looking for adventure.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0735 }======------
I was a guard there, but I
slept on duty too much. They
fired me.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0736 }======------
I heard about you in Pao. I'm
joining up! No, no, don't
thank me, it's my pleasure![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0737 }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0738 }======------
I'll be at headquarters.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0739 }======------
Wow! What a flight! I've
never been this far from
Bustoke before![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #073A }======------
Hey, down there! I want to
help you fight those nasty
Runefaust beasties.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #073B }======------
Whoa! It won't stop! I'll be
right back, I think. Just
wait a moment.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #073C }======------
I'm joining up, youngster. I
figure you need some
experience on this team![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #073D }======------
I'll be at headquarters.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #073E }======------
Welcome to Pao, a town that's
truly on the move![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #073F }======------
If you want to destroy
Balbazak, you should do it
now, before Earnest gets killed![$CD]
He's in there fighting
all alone, yelling about
vengeance. Go back him up![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0740 }======------
Balbazak is a dangerous
opponent. He controls the
fortress and Uranbatol.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0741 }======------
Rollin', rollin',
rollin'...the life of the
nomad is the one for me![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0742 }======------
I saw a big chunk of iron
walking, making loud noises,
and steaming all over![$CD]
It's over in the sheep pen![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0743 }======------
Pack, unpack, pack, unpack. I
need to get a job in shop

Where's Earnest? When is he
coming back?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0750 }======------
Elliott loved Runefaust but
hated Darksol. I hope he is
at peace now.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0751 }======------
Earnest went to Uranbatol.
That's where you need to go
if you want a ship.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0752 }======------
General Elliott was worried
that Darksol was getting
ready to open some door....[$CD][$C0]

Earnest heard you defeated
Elliott, and he decided to
attack Balbazak's fortress.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0758 }======------
Before he left, Elliott gave me
a message for you...it was
about Prompt.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0759 }======------
Prompt is across the sea.
There you may find folk who
know much about the Ancients.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #075A }======------
That Vankar! Where did he go?
Do you know where he went?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #075B }======------
You don't? Well, that's no
help to me.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #075C }======------
You saw him? Did you let him
join your troops?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #075D }======------
He's your problem now. He's a
good fighter, when he feels
like it.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #075E }======------
Good for you. Serves him
right. He's a good fighter,
though.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #075F }======------
I've got a great item here.
This thing warms an egg and
hatches it in seconds.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0760 }======------
Let me know if you find any
rare eggs. I really want to
try it![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0761 }======------
You have an interesting egg
there. Can I try to warm it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0762 }======------
Drat! I really want to try
this egg warmer....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0763 }======------
Great! Give it to me, please.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0764 }======------

Domingo egg!)[$CD][$C0]

C'mon, do your stuff![$CD][$C0]

It works! The egg's hatching!
What is that thing?[$CD][$C0]

It's me, Guntz from Rindo.

Hey, I'm Guntz. I came
looking for you. I'm a great

Earnest said you'd be coming

Behind this door is the

But first, save Earnest,
then concentrate on getting
Balbazak.[$CD][$C0]

If you're Earnest's friend, you

Mahato is waiting for you

You are welcome here. With
Darksol gone, we are at peace

Mahato once told me a legend.
Would you like to hear it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #07A7 }======------
Too bad! It's very
interesting....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07A8 }======------
Runefaust and Guardiana are
twin cities built to protect
the Castle of the Ancients.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07A9 }======------
The gates prove it. Each city
has one. Guardiana the west,
and Runefaust the east.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07AA }======------
I am Mahato. There is no time
to lose, [$C8]. Darksol
has gone to the gate![$CD]
You must follow him. Go back
through town. The guards will
let you through now.[$CD]
King Ramladu will try to
stop you, for he is Darksol's
creature now![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07AB }======------
Fight well! You are the only
one who can defeat Ramladu![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07AC }======------
[$C8]! You have
defeated King Ramladu, but
a far greater task awaits.[$CD]
Darksol has sealed the Gate
of the Ancients behind him,
but there is another way....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07AD }======------
Use the Chaos Breaker at the
westernmost point of the
coast. There's a legend....[$CD]
The Chaos Breaker can raise
the Castle of the Ancients
out of the depths of the sea.[$CD]
The gate will then open.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07AE }======------
Shining Force! We no longer
obey Darksol. Are you going
to stop him?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #07AF }======------
That's certainly the healthy
choice.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07B0 }======------
Go inside. Mahato awaits you
with some information.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07B1 }======------
You made it? You've fought
through the castle? But keep
going, for Darksol awaits![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07B2 }======------

You are going to Dragonia?
Please help Bleu![$CD][$C0]

I am Karin. We need your
help. To the east is the town

The Runefaust army is near
Dragonia. But Bleu is all
alone in the village.[$CD]
And he's our friend, a baby
Sacred Dragon. Please help
Dragonia and Bleu![$CD][$C0]

I'm Krin, Karin's sister! I

all these old books![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07E4 }======------
This book has some great
stuff in it. Should I tell
you about it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #07E5 }======------
Shucks. It's pretty good.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07E6 }======------
The Manual of the Seal is
a book that contains several
chants.[$CD]
One of these breaks the
seal on Dark Dragon, another
renews the seal.[$CD]
The Ancients used the second
chant to bind Dark Dragon
1,000 years ago.[$CD]
The manual has been guarded
by the Sacred Dragons for
centuries.[$CD]
You must go to Dragonia to
try to stop Darksol from
taking the manual![$CD]
Bleu cannot do it on his own![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #07E7 }======------
Oh, you want to hear about it
after all?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #07E8 }======------
Please let me know if you
find the Manual of the Seal
in Dragonia.[$CD][$C0]

Hi! Nice to see another

are you [$C8]?[$C0]

I didn't think so. He's said

Have you seen Krin?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0816 }======------
She's very excited about
something she found.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0817 }======------
Oh. Well, never mind then.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0818 }======------
Welcome back, [$C8]!
I told everyone about Bleu.
Thank you so much![$CD]
Krin said she found
something in the old records.
It sounded important.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0819 }======------
Have you seen Krin yet? She
really wants to see you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #081A }======------
I think you should go to
Prompt first. It's south
of here.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #081B }======------
But be careful! There are
lots of monsters out there![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #081C }======------
I checked the old records and
read something interesting.
Do you want to hear about it?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #081D }======------
C'mon, it's important![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #081E }======------
Listen- "The Manual of the
Seal holds the key to
awakening Dark Dragon.[$CD]
He must never awaken. The
Sacred Dragon must keep the
manual from evil hands."[$CD]
Also, there's something here
about a sword called
the Chaos Breaker....[$CD]
It says that when the sword
is used at the westernmost
point of the land....[$CD]
The Castle of the Ancients
will rise from the depths
of the sea.[$CD]
Whatever all that means![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #081F }======------
Did you get the manual?[$C0]

------======{ MSG #0820 }======------
So where is it?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0821 }======------
Darksol has it? Oh, my. This
is bad, very bad! He can use
it to awaken Dark Dragon![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0822 }======------
I have no idea what to do....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0823 }======------
Wait! Don't leave yet. Karin
wants to talk to you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0824 }======------
Be careful out there. There
are lots of weird creatures
wandering around![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0825 }======------
Wait! Don't leave yet. Karin
wants to talk to you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0826 }======------
Welcome to Prompt Castle![$CD][$C0]

Go up the stairs to see King
Kusuko, ruler of Prompt.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #083D }======------
I found Kane. I hope he gets
well soon.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #083E }======------
Sorry. No time for idle
chatter.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #083F }======------
The Manual of the Seal holds
many secrets. The way to
rouse Dark Dragon, of course.[$CD]
But the way to renew the
seal is also contained with
the manual's pages.[$CD]
Also, there is a robot that
can be activated with the
help of the manual.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0840 }======------
This is grandpa's room. He's
pondering something difficult.
You'd better not disturb him.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0841 }======------
Elders are waiting for you.
Please listen to their words.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0842 }======------
Deep thought requires
absolute silence. Please let
me resume thinking.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0843 }======------
Our records say that the
Ancients used flying machines
to cross the sea in minutes![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0844 }======------
Run along now, youngster. I'm
doing vital research here.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0845 }======------
The Ancients had amazing
powers. But Dark Dragon nearly
destroyed them.[$CD]
After a long struggle that
ravaged all of Rune, Dark
Dragon was defeated.[$CD]
The Ancients placed him in
their castle and sank it
beneath the sea.[$CD]
But what could we do against
Dark Dragon if he got
loose now?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0846 }======------
This is King Kusuko, ruler of
Prompt. Be polite or we'll
throw you into prison![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0847 }======------
The king has something he
wants to say to you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0848 }======------
Do as the king asks. We must
all wait for further reports
from our troops.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0849 }======------
Please save Alef and Torasu![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #084A }======------
All hail King Kusuko![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #084B }======------
Talk to King Kusuko.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #084C }======------
All hail King Kusuko![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #084D }======------
These stairs lead to the
prison. Nothing to see down
there now.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #084E }======------
King Kusuko imprisoned you
because he cares about us.
Please forgive him.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #084F }======------
Great equipment, huh? Don't
ask what it does, I have no
idea![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0850 }======------
Can you save Alef and Torasu?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0851 }======------
Door? What door? Oh, that
door! It's nothing. Forget
all about it. Run along now.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0852 }======------
The Shining Path begins here
and leads to Metapha. We need
more time to repair it.[$CD]
Come back later, please.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0853 }======------
What brings you to Prompt?
Ancients? Dark Dragon? What
is this nonsense?[$CD]
You're a spy, aren't you,
sent by our enemies to find
our weaknesses. Answer me![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0854 }======------
I thought so. We have a place
for toads like you....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0855 }======------
You're lying! We know how to
deal with spies![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0856 }======------
Guard! Toss him in prison![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0857 }======------
(The thick bars seem
unbreakable.)[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0858 }======------
OK, now I'm really lost. Hey,
[$C8]! What's up? Don't
worry, I'll let you out![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0859 }======------
[$C8], I think I'm going
to stop wandering and settle
down. Maybe in Waral. See ya![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #085A }======------
King Kusuko! A message from
those who left for the Tower
of the Ancients![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #085B }======------
Alef and Torasu say Darksol
seems unbeatable. They cannot
hold out for long![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #085C }======------
You heard the report, I
assume. The Tower of the
Ancients is east of here.[$CD]
When I heard Darksol was
there, I sent troops to
stop him.[$CD]
He is trying to raise the
Castle of the Ancients from
beneath the sea.[$CD]
He must be stopped before
he awakens Dark Dragon.[$CD]
Since my troops have failed,
it's all up to you now,
[$C8].[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #085D }======------
Rest for now, until all is
ready for your journey.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #085E }======------
Sorry. No visitors until he
recovers from his wounds.
Poor guy, whoever he is.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #085F }======------
Sssh. He's resting.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0860 }======------
Please let us take care of
Kane.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0861 }======------
ZZzzzzz[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0862 }======------
His name is Kane. Someone
found him seriously injured.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0863 }======------
When Kane recovers his
strength, you two can talk.
Just be patient![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0864 }======------
P...please...King Kusuko,
...let [$C8]...go to...the
Tower of...the Ancients....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0865 }======------
Rest, Kane. There will be
time to talk later.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0866 }======------
I...owe [$C8] a great
deal...please...let him go....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0867 }======------
(Kane passes out.)[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0868 }======------
Huh?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0869 }======------
I give in. [$C8]! You
have my permission to enter
the Tower of the Ancients![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #086A }======------
Welcome to Prompt Castle![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #086B }======------
This castle isn't much, but
it's the only one we have![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #086C }======------
King Kusuko is waiting.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #087D }======------
I'm so sorry. I didn't know
that Kane was gone...I really
didn't....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #087E }======------
There is a Pool of the
Ancients in Metapha. Use the
Orb of Light there.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #087F }======------
Go, [$C8]. You must
stop Darksol! With the Chaos
Breaker, you have a chance.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0880 }======------
An ancient legend says that a
Sword of Light and a Sword of
Darkness will unite.[$CD]
This union will create a new
sword to combat Darkness![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0881 }======------
So the legends are true...the
Chaos Breaker does exist!
Tell King Kusuko![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0882 }======------
We are doomed, [$C8]!
Darksol is awakening
Dark Dragon.[$CD]
It cannot be stopped.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0883 }======------
No! Do not give up. All is
not yet lost![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0884 }======------
Who are you to barge into my
throne room?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0885 }======------
I am Otrant of Manarina, King
Kusuko. Have you heard of the
Chaos Breaker?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0886 }======------
Yes, a sword spoken of in
ancient legends....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0887 }======------
When ultimate evil arises, a
Sword of both Light and
Darkness can defeat the evil.[$CD]
[$C8] has the Sword of
Light, and Kane had the Sword
of Darkness....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0888 }======------
Kane left it with me.
[$C8], take both swords
to Metapha.[$CD]
Once there, you can create
the Chaos Breaker. Here
is the Sword of Darkness.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0889 }======------
Your hands are full! Organize
your belongings and come back
again.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #088A }======------
Kane left the Sword of
Darkness for you. He said
he thought you might need it.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #088B }======------
Now, leave for Metapha!
Create the Chaos Breaker and
stop Darksol![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #088C }======------
([$C8] receives the
Sword of Darkness.)[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #088D }======------
Long ago, [$C8], the
Ancients founded the cities of
Guardiana and Runefaust.[$CD]
Though back then, Runefaust
was called Protectora...
...Where was I? Oh, yes.[$CD]
Guardiana held the western
Gate of the Ancients, while
Protectora held the eastern.[$CD]
Though Protectora has fallen
into evil hands, the gate
remains and still functions.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #088E }======------
Darksol entered the Castle of
the Ancients through the
eastern gate.[$CD]
You must enter Runefaust and
fight your way to the gate.
Good luck, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #088F }======------
Go to Metapha and get the Chaos Breaker![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0890 }======------
At last, the Chaos Breaker![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0891 }======------
You must go to Runefaust now.
See Mahato there. He is
honest and can help you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0892 }======------
Please take good care of Alef
and Torasu.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0893 }======------
Listen to Otrant. Dark Dragon
must remain sealed or the
world is doomed![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0894 }======------
I'm sorry that Kane is dead.
You must ensure that he
didn't die in vain![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0895 }======------
You must renew the seal on
Dark Dragon, or he will
ravage the world![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0896 }======------
Thank you for saving Alef and
Torasu![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0897 }======------
An army has been spotted
leaving Runefaust. It's headed
our way![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0898 }======------
The Shining Path is open at
long last. Now you can leave
for Metapha![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #0899 }======------
Welcome back, [$C8].
King Kusuko is anxious
to hear your story![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #089A }======------
Go see King Kusuko![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #089B }======------
The Shining Path is only open
if you possess the Orb of
Light. Carry it with you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #089C }======------
Though the spirit of the pool
is no more, her words still
live in your heart.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #089D }======------
0[$C0]

------======{ MSG #089E }======------
Well, what a surprise! Rarely
do we have guests in such a
remote area.[$CD]
I am a friar, though I may
not look it.
How can I help you?[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #089F }======------
Strange things are in the
woods. They give me the
creeps.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A0 }======------
Greetings, [$C8]. I have
been waiting for you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A1 }======------
I am Gong. I have fought the
evil of Runefaust for many
years. I will aid you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A2 }======------
I will join your troops.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A3 }======------
You again, [$C8]? How
unfortunate for you![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A4 }======------
Now I must be off to summon
Dark Dragon. But don't worry.
Someone is waiting for you.[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A5 }======------
King Ramladu will serve my
purposes one last time, then
I will have no need for him![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A6 }======------
I must be going. Do enjoy
your meeting with Ramladu.
Dark Dragon arises soon![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A7 }======------
Keep going...Darksol...top of
tower...hurry....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A8 }======------
We can't go on...you must
stop Darksol....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08A9 }======------
Don't...worry about us...get
Darksol before...it's too
late....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08AA }======------
Maybe you are...strong
enough...to succeed where
we...failed....[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08AB }======------
Too late, [$C8]![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08AC }======------
It has begun! The Castle of
the Ancients is rising from
the depths.[$CD]
Soon I will awaken Dark
Dragon and he will rule
the world![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08AD }======------
And now, the time to end your
meddling is here![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08AE }======------
I call upon the Darkness to
crush this....No! It cannot
be![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08AF }======------
Kane![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08B0 }======------
Yes, Darksol. And this time I
will stop you![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08B1 }======------
Fool! I am now many times
mightier than when we last
met. Your doom is here![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08B2 }======------
Arrrggghhh![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08B3 }======------
I have no more time to waste
with you two. Dark Dragon
awaits![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08B4 }======------
I'm dying...[$C8]...
go to... Metapha...
hurry![$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08B5 }======------
(Kane dies!)[$CD][$C0]

------======{ MSG #08B6 }======------
[$C8], there is no time
for sorrow. Alef and Torasu
are with us. On to Metapha![$CD][$C0]
