Main Story/Introduction

Story Overview
After being attacked by monsters aboard an airship, Rain and Lasswell go to investigate the source of a plea for help. They are told by a mysterious girl inside a crystal that they must save the crystal within the Earth Shrine lest the world becomes endangered. Despite a reluctant Lasswell, they alter their course.

When the two arrive, they are greeted by a broken magical barrier and beasts running amok within. In a bid to try and keep things light, Rain cracks a few snarky comments, only to be chastised for them afterwards. They make short work of the creatures before hurrying on.

Rain
 * Ah, the night sky. The stars, the moonlight...the flying monsters.

Lasswell
 * Could you focus, Rain? I'd prefer to avoid a crash landing, if it's all the same to you.

Rain
 * Something doesn't feel right...

Lasswell
 * Indeed. Puny beasts like these keep a wide berth of airships.

Lasswell
 * Was that the last of them?

???
 * Please...

Rain
 * Hm?

???
 * Please... Help me...

Rain
 * ...A girl's voice? But we're in the middle of the clouds...!

Rain
 * Is that...a crystal!?

???
 * Please... You must...help me...
 * Hurry...to the Earth Shrine... The crystal...will be shattered...
 * You are...our only hope... Without you...this world...will be lost...

Lasswell
 * Do my eyes deceive me...?
 * Rain! Have you taken leave of your senses? We have our orders!

Rain
 * ...And I haven't forgotten them. But I can't ignore a plea for help.
 * As a knight of Grandshelt, I'll do my duty!

Lasswell
 * You haven't changed a bit since we were kids, huh?

Rain
 * And you know me better than anyone. Which is why I know you'll come with me.

Lasswell
 * New orders, men! We make for the Earth Shrine!

Rain
 * The change in course may be sudden, but rest assured our cause is true. Onward!
