Dialogue
Saga: Greetings, hero.
Saga: Please, Katia, allow me.
Saga: <Character>, what I'm doing isn't exactly... by the books. I am acting on my own.
Saga: Going rogue, so to speak, abandoning the Weaver's Council's pitiful inaction.
Saga: Mortem was, at one point, also my home, and it pains me to see its people suffer.
Saga: Katia.
Saga: As you see, it's just the two of us. Well, three now. All of this is not, strictly speaking, a sanctioned endeavour.
Saga: Like I've said, I'm acting on my own. I'm going against the Weaver's Council decision... because I'll be casting a forbidden magick.
Saga: Positively extremely very not good, correct.
Saga: Katia agreed to help me, because I have history with her family.
Saga: When I asked her if she could think of someone else who would be willing to "bend the rules", so to speak, she told me about you.
Saga: I recognized your name right away. Who wouldn't.
Saga: You've been rather naughty in Nieboheim.
Saga: All over, really... and word has spread.
Saga: The Shapeless Gazette tends to exaggerate. "From zero, to hero, back to zero"... and whatnot.
Saga: Moving on, the forbidden magick.
Saga: I was able to deconstruct and retranslate one of the forbidden spells that I came across, into something that will allow me...
Saga: ...Us, rather... to physically enter the Plane of Elemental Spirits.
Saga: Because that's where the souls of Mortem's people have been taken.
Saga: Yes, taken.
Saga: And held captive, most likely. Why, I do not know, but knowing the location is enough to put an end to this.
Saga: What maladies Mortem is not a disease or an affliction. SomeONE, or someTHING, is deliberately gathering human souls...
Saga: ...and storing them in the Plane of Elemental Spirits.
Saga: We will cross that bridge when we get to it. We ourselves won't be affected, thanks to the spell.
Saga: And so... will you—
Saga: I'm glad to hear that!
Saga: To set the forbidden spell up, a runic circle has to be drawn around the village, accompanied by focal points, which I already prepared.
Saga: But...
Saga: Umm...
Saga: We can't do that!
Saga: We simply cannot bring ourselves to harm our forest guardians... it would be sacrilege!
Saga: We'll follow you as you clear the path, while I draw the circle and place the foci.
Saga: The last time you were here, you left a path of beaten-up household spirits. It is known throughout the country.
Saga: And... there.
Saga: Once I activate this, per my retranslation of the spell, a dome should engulf Mortem.
Saga: If it does, that means the spell worked. And when we enter said dome, we should be in the general vicinity of where the stolen souls are...
Saga: ...in the Plane of Elemental Spirits!
Saga: This is my FIRST time deconstructing and retranslating a FORBIDDEN magick spell... found in a BANNED book!
Saga: I may be a prodigy, but I'm quite literally creating brand new magicks here, so accidents MIGHT happen!
Saga: *Deep breath*
Saga: ...Yes, Katia, I'm fine.
Saga: Enter, yes.
