What?
Look out!
Flank it from the west!
On it!
Look, that's their prey.
Wow.
They seem desperate. Like they gotta get this one, or there'll be nothing else to eat.
Really? I guess you have to be a hunter to tell.
Let's introduce ourselves.
Listen, we could do with an extra arm. You help us, and I'll give you this map.
If you're here to hunt, find someplace else.
You guys aren't exactly hauling it in. Prey getting scarce?
Yes. Ever since that storm blew up. These lands were teeming with game before that.
Friends went to investigate the storm, but they never came back.
So you want to know what brought on the storm.
My friends are out there assessing the situation, but even if I knew, I wouldn't tell anyone that wasn't a hunter.
But Noel's a hunter.
Don't look so surprised; she's right, you know.
Really? Then you wouldn't mind if I put you to the test. Let's see what you can do.
We've been getting harassed by a pack of monsters lately. Think you can get rid of them for us?
So you took care of those little monsters? I have to hand it to you; you're stronger than you look.
Thanks for dealing with that little problem.
I hear you're looking into what's causing the storm. I don't know much, but I'll tell you what little I know.
The storm only comes when it's really hot and sunny outside.
What should we do then? Wait for the weather to change?
There has to be something we can do.
There's a weather controlling device nearby.
There is a direct correlation between weather and monsters. I can teach you how to use the weather control device if you'd like.
Come, I'll teach you how to operate the machine.
Use the lever to shift the direction of the wind. That's the first step in changing the weather.
The weather will change depending on which levers you use.
There are four possible combinations - and four possible weather conditions.
There is a correlation between monsters and the weather.
For example, if you make it rain, the monsters near watering holes will become more vicious.
And rare monsters with extraordinary strength may appear.
By controlling the weather, you can control what kind of monsters you'll run into.
That's about it.
If you forget how to work it, come talk to me again.
We've learned what's behind that storm. There's a monster prowling the grasslands that's taking all the flan.
The beast is massive! It can swallow dozens of flan! And when it does, it kicks up that storm we've been seeing!
A beast that can swallow dozens of flan in one go? Noel, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
If there are flan here...
...I'll bet you my favorite bow that there's some connection to the giant flan back in Sunleth.
Maybe the flan that are being swallowed by the monster here are being sent through time to Sunleth.
It's a definite possibility.
So we should go check it out, right?
Look.
There's no other explanation. They're being sucked into a time rift.
And then, they're reappearing back at Sunleth.
Right. If we can take down this beast, we can stop the giant flan from getting any bigger.
Mealtime's over!
Do you think this will fix the paradox?
Yes. Now let's head back, before Snow gets himself into more trouble.
Why, are you worried about him?
What? No. I just figured you'd be itching to see him again.
If there's one thing I know about Snow, it's that he's as tough as a behemoth. I don't worry too much when he's off on his own.
You know, I couldn't do what you two do. Staying apart and doing your own thing, even though you love each other.
You never know when someone might disappear from your life. Take it from me, you have to make every moment count.
Noel.
But it's okay. I believe we can change our fate. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here.
We have to do this. We can't afford to fail. If we don't find a way to defeat that flan...
Hey, don't get too wound up now. People start to make mistakes when they stress out too much. If you know what I mean.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Anyway, you kids take care.
We'll be back!
Travelers of the Void Beyond. What are you seeking in this bloodstained place of war?
Who said that?
That guy!
My domain exists outside the march of ages.
It is unseen and unknown, beyond life and death.
Until the day the bell of the goddess tolls, this realm welcomes not the living.
Begone from here. You bring naught but calamity.
My halls already play host to an omen of time-shattering misfortune.
An omen of misfortune? Something that doesn't belong here.
Okay, then. We'll make you a deal!
Begone, I say! Heed my words...
Or face judgment at my hands!
You want this omen gone from here, right? Give it to us, and we'll leave you and your realm in peace.
What do you say to that?
Take it, and leave this place!
The Day of Reckoning has not yet come.
Job well done, I guess.
Yeah, and Snow will be waiting.
I hope he's still okay back there...
...but I bet he won't be waiting by the gate for us.
No, I suppose not. He's just like my sister. Always just charging ahead.
Charging ahead into an early grave.
He acts like he's everyone's boss, just marches ahead, and never thinks how much danger he's putting himself in.
Idiots like that, they're all the same.
Their heads in the clouds, thinking self-sacrifice can somehow save everyone.
But people die anyway.
Noel, I hope you don't get yourself killed.
After all, you've risked your life a lot of times. To help me, I mean.
But I can tell the difference between fantasy and reality. I'm not like Snow.
I didn't say you were.
He just took off and left you alone.
He did what he wanted. Didn't care who he left behind, or who he hurt.
I understand why Snow made Noel so angry.
Once upon a time, someone Noel loved left him behind.
It hurt him almost more than he could bear. It still does.
He didn't have to tell me. The pain on his face made it clearer than words ever could.
Snow!
That's enough!
You really don't know when to quit!
