Reaching up for no man's land
To take a breath and take a chance
I walk a thousand nights to change the world
Where to go? When to stop?
Who to trust? What to say?
Found them all, just need someone to share
It's now in the dusk every day to everyone
Ain't so strong, I ain't so strong to go
Living in life as its not the way to live
I wish you could hear me say that I miss you
Why were we there back to back?
Why were we there face to face?
I must be the light when youre in the dark
If you lose me somewhere, and your tears are in the air
I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side
What has been in the mix too long?
Theres the peace when you're at war
Heads or tails, You and I
Light and dark, Ups and downs
What has been in the middle? Whats there to divide us?
If youre hurt, cry and say cant you see your might of the heart
Why were we there back to back?
Why were we there face to face?
I must be the light when you're in the dark
If I lose you somewhere, and I'm still hanging in there
I will ring a bell until you feel me by your side
Our world, Terra Lumireis.
No one knows how far its lands and oceans stretch.
For the people are no match against the hordes of monsters that crawl the earth.
Barriers protect the cities in which we live,
and we are completely dependent upon them for our survival.
The barriers are generated by the blastia.
Blastia use the primeval power of aer that fills the world...
To provide us with fire, water, and light.
They provide us with everything that has made the empire prosper.
Perhaps one day...
...We may even forget the threat of the vicious monsters lying in wait, just beyond the barriers.
The blessings of the blastia...
...Will bestow ever more prosperity to the world and peace to its people.
...Why?
I don't get it.
What could have happened to the barriers in this town?!
From the Imperial capital Zaphiaus, bedrock of peace, we pray:
May tranquility bless this world.
TED: Yuri! This is not good!
YURI: Whats with all the yelling, Ted?
TED: Look! The aque blastias broken again!
And they just finished fixing it.
YURI: Whats the big deal? Just leave it to the mighty Imperial Knights. Thats what theyre there for.
TED: Hah, the Knights? You know they never come to the lower quarter.
YURI: What about the heroic Flynn?
TED: I already tried to get Flynn.
They wouldnt even let me see him!
YURI: Oh, so Im Flynns replacement, huh?
TED: Never mind that, come on! Were short on people!
FEMALE VOICE: Ted! Ted! You get down here! They need your help, too!
TED: Ill Ill be there in a sec!
Yuri Come on already!
YURI: Thats weird. He always comes running whenever theres trouble
This place is gonna become an aquarium soon if this keeps up.
THE IMPERIAL CAPITAL, ZAPHIAS
TED: Yuri!
Yuri: First the trouble with the knights yesterday. Now the aque blastia
breaks... Why does stuff like this happen every day in the lower quarter?
Repede: Woof!
Yuri: I know, I know. Theres no use whining about it.
Repede: Woof!
HANKS: Weve got to seal it off somehow!
YURI: Whats going on? Any sunken treasure down there?
YOUNG MAN: Yeah, but youre late so Im not sharing.
YURI: Hah hah. How nice.
YOUNG MAN: Hey, its sink or swim in this world.
Looks like that blue-blooded mage we hired to fix the blastia left the job half done.
HANKS: Glad you could find the time to stop by, Yuri!
YURI: Take it easy with the water sports, old man. Youre not getting any younger.
HANKS: Youre up next. Not afraid of a little water, I hope.
YURI: Yikes.
HANKS: Come on now, put your backs into it! Heave, ho! Heave
YURI: Hanks is really going at it.
YOUNG MAN: He fells responsible. Hes the one who pushed the people to get the money together for the repairs.
YURI: And now hes the one whos all wet.
Its not Hanks fault that mage did a two-bit repair job though.
YOUNG MAN: Thats true. He even parted with his wifes keepsake to help raise the money.
HANKS: Hey, Yuri! If youre not gonna help out, stand clear! This is dangerous!
YURI: Hanks, did you see the blastia core anywhere? You know, that shiny piece in the center.
HANKS: Huh? Is it gone?
YURI: Yeah. The blastia wont work with the core missing.
That aristocrat who came to do the repairs was the last person to touch the blastia, right?
HANKS: Thats right, a Mr. Mordio.
YURI: And he lives in the royal quarter?
HANKS: Yeah, so?
Forget about that Yuri, give us a hand here!
YURI: Sorry Hanks, I just remembered an errand Ive gotta run.
HANKS: Hey, wait just a minute!
HANKS: Youre not seriously thinking of going to Mr. Mordios place are ya?
YURI: The royal quarter? Me? I wouldnt be caught dead going to a place like that. It gives me the creeps.
HANKS: Damn it, Yuri Just because you can do a few tricks with that bodhi blastia, you think youre invincible.
HANKS: Heres hoping he doesnt do anything crazy
YOUNG MAN: He always seems to cause problems when the lower quarters involved.
HANKS: Even the knights have started keeping an eye on him
YOUNG MAN: Well, its just an average day for Yuri. Im sure hell be fine.
VOICE: You there! You there! Are you aware of the serious events going on in the world?
YURI: ?
VOICE: Over here! Right here! Im the Wonder Reporter!

What epic thing as transpired today? Youll never believe it!

Well then, farewell!
YURI: ?
Obtained Wonder Log.
With the Wonder Log, you can access the Synopsis via the Library from the Menu.
KNIGHT #1: Hey, you hear about the blastia in the lower quarter?
KNIGHT #2: Yes, I heard something about it breaking and them collecting money to fix it.
KNIGHT #1: Thats right, I hear that lot went so far as to sell their treasures to save up the money.
KNIGHT #2: Treasures, sir?
KNIGHT #1: Worthless junk, nothing more. They wouldnt have gotten more than one Gald for them.
KNIGHT #2: Not even one Gald?! I cant imagine what sort of treasures those would have to be. Id like to have a look, myself
KNIGHT #1: Im telling you, nothing but junk! Heh heh
YURI: Listen to those guys! Poor Hanks. Cant really argue with them about the junk thing, though.
KNIGHT #1: Ack!
KNIGHT #2: What the Whos there?!
KNIGHT #2: Oof!
YURI: If you cant understand the value of junk, youre worth less than junk yourself.
YURI: Repede, can you find the trail?
YURI: So theyve been taking blastia cores from here, too. Looks like somebodys got some sticky fingers.
Thats the royal quarter for you. A few blastia cores go missing, and on one even makes a fuss.
When just one is enough to throw the lower quarter into chaos.
If theyve got cores to spare, they could stand to give us some!
YURI: Found it!
Yuri: Looks like the nobles are living the sweet life, as usual.
Repede: Woof?
Yuri: The lower quarter's right there, and they still don't give a damn. It's
not their loss, so what do they care? They should act, you know, noble. Not just
dress nice and hide in their mansions.
Repede:*Whin*
YURI: So this is where he lives
YURI: It doesnt seem like theres anyone around
YURI: I wonder if theres any other way in?
YURI: Oh! Is it open? Can I get in this way?
YURI: I know Mordio is hiding here somewhere
YURI: It wont open What to do?
YURI: That must be
YURI Found him!
YURI: You are Mordio, right?
YURI: Good boy.
What the! The blastia core is gone!
Lets go and get that core back! And give that mage a whooping while were at it!
REPEDE: Woof!
ADECOR: Yuri! So it is you who are the cause of all this commotion.
BOCCOS: I know hes poor, but breaking into an aristocrats house My, my, how the mighty have fallen!
YURI: Just what I needed, Tweedle A and Tweedle B.
ADECOR: I say, dont you dare call me that!
BOCCOS: Just what is a Tweedle anyway?!
BOCCOS: Theres no hope of escape! Weve got you surrounded!
YURI: Does it look like Im trying to escape? See, its stuff like that that keeps you guys from getting promoted.
BOCCOS: You did not just say that!
ADECOR: I say, you take that back!
YURI: Enough beating around the bush, I guess.
BOCCOS: Stand back, Adecor!
Ill handle this in the name of the Imperial Knights.
ADECOR: I say, I shall be the one to defend the good name of the Imperial Knights!
Peons, I say, should stand back!
BOCCOS: Youre the peon!
ADECOR: No, no, I say, I am your superior!
YURI: I appreciate the sentiment, guys, but lets cut the catfight and get on with it!
YURI: Hey, lets go! You ready?
BOCCOS: I am your superior!
ADECOR: Nay, Boccos! You are, I say, clearly my subordinate!
YURI: I guess I just gotta whack these guys a little.
BOCCOS: Owwww
YURI: There, howd that make you feel?
BOCCOS: How dare you! Hitting someone in the middle of an argument is hardly proper manners!
YURI: Didnt you hear me when I said You ready? Or were you not listening?
ADECOR: Damn it!
YURI Oh, brother
BOCCOS: Argh You Stop right there!
YURI: Does it look like Im running?
BOCCOS: You! Be quiet!
YURI: Oops, time for a little defense
BOCCOS: H-he blocked my attack!
ADECOR: I say, Sonic Thrust!
YURI: Whoa Come on, gimme a break
ADECOR: Oooh! I say, how DARE you block my arte!
YURI: Man, you need to calm down
If you can use strike artes here, then I can too!
YURI: Lets try that again. This next ones gonna hurt!
YURI: Aw, youre not giving up already, are you?
ADECOR: I-I say, Imperial Knights never give up!
BOCCOS: You have yet to see our true power!
YURI: This next times for real, guys.
ADECOR: Thats my line, I say!
BOCCOS: Thats my line!
YURI: You should thank me. Im giving you some extra practice.
YURI: Come on, guys, you can do better than that, cant you?
YURI: Looks like I wont be catching up with that carriage anytime soon.
CUMORE: How typical of the Schwann brigade. They cant even manage to capture a single lowlife.
ADECOR: C-Captain Cumore! I say, our apologies for this unsightly display.
CUMORE: Im afraid the Imperial Knights have no use for you lowborn ***.
BOCCOS: Uhh P-please dont let Sir Schwann know about this, Sir.
YURI: I cant believe our taxes go to paying these guys
YURI: There he is
ADECOR: I say, that tops it all! Abandoned by his faithful pooch!
BOCCOS: Gah hah hah hah!
CUMORE: Well, well, youve had a busy day havent you, Mr. Yuri Lowell?
Im rather busy myself, but I suppose I can afford to play with you for a while.
Gentlemen!
YURI: Its rats like you that make Flynns job so difficult.
CUMORE: Flynn? A little suffering is just what that upstart lieutenant needs.
CUMORE: When youve finished with him, throw him in the prison as usual.
