Dialogue
Ash: It's so good to have you back, <Character>. In your absence, I had my share of adventures...
• Quest!
• Back
The scene shows Ash and the Hero sitting at a table in Serenity’s Inn.
<Character>: It’s been a while, Ash. I see you have finally achieved your dream of knighthood!
Ash: Yes... I indeed have. While you were away, I had to be the best. People often looked up to me in times of trouble...
Ash: I realize now that I’ve underestimated how terribly hard a hero’s job is. There are so many troubles in just a week, and you’ve been gone for five years...
<Character>: Yeah. Even a hero can catch a cold.
Ash raises his head and smiles. His eyes close briefly.
<You>: Anyways. Do you have any good adventures to share now that we’re here?
Ash laughs.
Ash: I have plenty of those. There, let’s start by what happened in Falconreach immediately after you were frozen...
You load the Young Hero armor. The screen goes black.
Ash: The year following Wargoth’s defeat was the hardest one. Jaania had not yet founded the Rose, and the Guardians were too few to suffice to the task.
Ash: Bandits crowded the roads. They were the first to take advantage of your disappearance.
Ash: They even controlled part of Falconreach for a while...
<Character>: What?! Bandits controlled Falconreach?
The scene shows the main square of Falconreach. It’s occupied by people dressed in a mix of bandit clothes and guardian armor.
Ash: There were Guardians who forgot their oaths and helped the bandits get hold of Falconreach.
Ash: The times were hard, and the promise of gold made some throw away their loyalties...
The scene changes to the hill of the Guardian Tower. There are barricades and Guardians facing the town. Townspeople are assembled on the hill.
Ash: The Guardians who remained loyal took most of the townspeople to safety... all we had left was the Guardian tower.
Ash: And let me tell you, we put a lot of effort into convincing Cysero not to turn it into a fish. Again.
Ash: At the moment, I didn’t have my princess to help me... so I felt useless.
The scene shows Ash sitting near a campfire on the cliff with Aria.
Ash: Can you believe it? All the Guardians are refusing to let me go to the barricades with them!
Aria: Ash, you are doing a wonderful job helping the wounded...
Ash: But I want to go out there and fight the bandits!
Ash: What are the Guardians doing? Holding their barricades, and that’s it!
Ash: We should go to the offense! Lead a charge!
Ash: Since when do we let bandits take control of Falconreach?
Aria: Ash, the Guardians will take care of everything. Everything will go back once more to normal.
Ash: If <Character> was here, no bandit would’ve crossed Falconreach’s gates.
Ash: I wish <Character> was here with us.
Aria outstretches her hand and touches Ash’s hand.
Aria: I wish that, too.
Aria: And I wish Grams was here...
Close-up on Aria’s face. She lowers her head and closes her eyes.
Aria: Everybody is in shock, that’s why the bandits are able to take so much power.
Aria: Everybody is so used to having <Character> here.
Aria: A hero always ready to save the day, no matter the threat...
Aria: We will have to get used to <Character>’s absence if <He/She> does not come back.
Aria raises her head and smiles.
Aria: Who knows? Maybe another hero will show up one day...
Close-up on Ash’s face. He frowns and then smiles.
Ash: Yes... maybe another hero will show up one day...
The scene goes dark.
Ash: That is when I made the most foolish decision of my life.
Ash: I decided that I would drive away the bandits. Alone.
The scene shows nighttime Falconreach. The town is illuminated, there are lots of bandits patrolling.
Ash: I sneaked in town during the night...
Ash: I knew I could not take on every bandit, so I decided to sabotage things.
Ash: I knew the bandits did not enter Cysero’s shop because they feared the magic in it.
Ash: I had to get to Cysero’s shop. I had a plan...
Quest! You are playing as Ash. There are bandits moving in the streets and there’s a barricade blocking the way to Cysero’s Superstore from the central square, so you have to go the long way. You can’t touch any bandit, because their HP is very high and their damage kills you in one turn.
Once you get to Cysero’s Superstore, the screen goes black. The shape of an opening door appears in the middle of the screen. Ash’s silhouette appears. There’s a creak.
The scene goes to Ash entering the Superstore.
Ash (thinking): There it is... now I only need to find the aquarium...
Quest! You are inside the Superstore. You are battling against multiple weapons in the shop. They are beatable. You need to get to the far right of the shop.
The scene shows Ash walking and stopping near Splashy’s aquarium.
Ash (thinking): That will do perfectly...
Ash (thinking): The bandits have better prepare for a nasty surprise!
The screen goes black. The scene shows nighttime Falconreach again, then goes to the Superstore’s door. A bandit and a rogue Guardian are standing near it.
Guardian: ... yeah, being a Guardian is really not the ideal job.
Guardian: Protecting the innocent, taking oaths, being so serious, and the pay is just pathetic.
Guardian: I always dreamt of being a bandit, free and wild on the roads, getting easy money...
Bandit: Haha! It’s not easy as that. Though our life definitely is easier since that hero got frozen.
Bandit: Who would’ve known there was so many gold in the bank? There’s enough of it to make all of us live like kings for the rest of our lives!
Guardian: Yeah, Mayor Rayf kept more money in the bank than...
There’s a splashing sound.
Bandit: ... what was that?
Guardian: I don’t know, I...
The Superstore doors explode. An army of Braydenballs, Plushies and Agitated Orbs led by a very angry Splashy comes out and swarms the bandits and guardians. The screen goes black, then turns to Ash standing in the shadows of a house smiling.
Ash (thinking): That’ll show them!
The screen goes black, then turns to a close-up of Book 3 Ash sitting in the Inn. You are unloaded of Young Hero armor.
Ash: That was the very first thing I did as Falconreach’s hero.
<Character>: Unleash an army of rare pets on a gang of bandits and rogue guardians?
Ash shrugs, a large smile on his face.
Ash: A Hero’s got to start somewhere, huh?
Ash: If I recall correctly, your very first action as a Hero was to ask for rats because you were afraid of fighting a dragon.
Ash: And there’s been rumors of moglin-punting involved...
<Character>: Don’t start with this.
<Character>: But what happened after that? Did the bandits go away?
Ash: Oh no. Actually, there’s more to that story. Here, let me tell you the rest...
