Hey, this isn't the desert...did Grado give up? That's not like them, though. What if it's a trap?! What if there's monsters coming, and-

Hey...where's everyone else? This doesn't look like Magvel at all! Where's my clothes? Hey, what's with my back? It feels weird, like-

-oh! Oh, neato! Wings! Hey, I wonder if I can fly now, like a human pegasus! Up up, and away! ...I said, up up, and away! ...huh. Maybe they need magic to work. I should look around and see if there's anyone I can ask about that!

Really and truly?! [Ewan's eyes go all shiny] T-thank you so much!

[Action]

[mountain_sage]

I can't leave you alone in a situation such as this. Especially not after what happened back home.

[Saleh heads into C5 and leads the way to Room 5.]

[Action]

[eagerstudent]

Mm...well, this is already a good start, then! At least we're together!

[Action]

[mountain_sage]

Indeed.

[Saleh opens the door to his room and waits for Ewan to enter. Now that they're here, they can discuss other things.]

Now...you say the last thing you remember is being in the desert when Jehanna Hall was burned to the ground?

[Action]

[eagerstudent]

Yeah. And there were more Grado troops coming for us.

[Action]

[mountain_sage]

I see...

Now, I've another question. How much time has passed since I led Princess Eirika's group into Caer Pelyn and it was attacked by monsters?

[Action]

[eagerstudent]

About a month...actually, a little more than that, since it took us a while to get through Hamil Canyon.

[Action]

[mountain_sage]

Only a month...

[After all the years he's been in this place.]

So time truly does pass differently here.

[Action]

[eagerstudent]

Does it? I didn't know...I'm just worried that when we get back everyone's gonna be hurt or worse...

[Action]

[mountain_sage]

I would believe the theory that time stands still in our world while we are here. When I was drawn here, I was leading Princess Eirika's group into Caer Pelyn as it was attacked by monsters. Almost three years have passed in this world since then.

[Action]

[eagerstudent]

Three years?! Wow...

[Action]

[mountain_sage]

Indeed. Though it feels like such a shorter time. And so much has happened...

[Action]

[eagerstudent]

...like what?

[Action] Might as well get back to this...

[mountain_sage]

The vast variety of experiments, as well as drafts to different locations. We have even seen our fair share of catastrophes within the enclosure.

[Action]

[eagerstudent]

That doesn't sound too good...

[Action]

[mountain_sage]

Indeed. Things are peaceful here for the most part, but things like this happen to keep us on our toes. So whatever you do here, be careful. Understand?

[Action]

[eagerstudent]

Mm, I will, I promise. [Promises to TRY, anyway.]
