Buddy: "Ah. This is why you picked the harder but shorter path through the upper forests."
Buddy: "Nah."
Buddy: "No?"
Buddy: "Look me straight in the eyes."
Buddy: "Yes?"
Buddy: "And tell me that fighting skeleton knights and giant spiders is still on our level."
Buddy: "Nope."
Me: "Nope."
Buddy: "Good. We can continue."

"No! YOU blew it! ...And do NOT laugh! I said that on purpose, yes! You did BLOW it!!"
"Krrrch-chrr-chrr... And I have not even used Vacuum Seal Omega! ...Pff-ahahaa!"
"ORANGE Jellies explode! You could not make them more visibly ORANGE, which means... BOOOOM!! Haa... Now what!? Do you have ANY idea what that massive chain reaction could have caused!?"
"Tsk-aawww... Ish! I asked you specifically! Five times! ...Mmmh... I received a different response each time so... so I averaged them and... Shinespark Platinum was the only choice! ...Instructions unclear! Not faaaaair, Ish!"
"Oh yeah? How about for once you also use your own-"
"Dimwits! Both of you! The only spell required right now is a telekinetic slap!"
"I believe that they learned their lesson by doing the wrong thing. It can happen to us as well. Mm-hm-hm-hm. It is quite all right."
"Dear, you are the one who might end up disrespected."
"Certainly not on purpose. I know who I am traveling with."
"Haaa... There are layers to that, Dear. Please understand that for once. I know full well that they would not cause you problems on purpose, but there are times when you really should just say: Enough! Dear..."
"Astara, I would leave the matter be. Remember the dam incident and something about fire and brimstone. Mm-hm-hm-hm."
"...As you wish."
"Oh yeah! At the end of the day, nobody was hurt and houses can be rebuilt. That time though, they needed the EXTRA step of draining another lake first!"
"Excuse me!? Ishmaiyel, as somebody who used to deal with magical artifacts, you certainly could not TELL back in Bartamar! The Djinn's curse is still probably lingering around! ...And for YOUR information, the ability to switch sides here is sure something!"
"For your information? Really? Astara? That makes you sound fifteen instead of that fake Lady image you gotta keep maintaining!"
"Pff-ahahahaah-AHAHAAA--"
"Hhssssh!"
"HA-- ..."
"Krrrch-chrr-chrr... And I have not even used Vacuum Seal Omega! ...Pff-ahahaa!"

"HA-- ..."
"...Whoa! Whoa whoa! Okay, you DO have to teach me this one! I give you this, Astara! Nice! Gehehehe... There really is a counter-force to everything! I am impressed! I had NO idea this was possible! Gahahaha!"
"...Mm-hm-hm-hm. It is a good thing you two never agree on a Magic Duel. I do not think there would be much left afterwards, and we were at that point once."
"Dear, you cannot possibly mean that. If Ishmaiyel stopped coming up with excuses, and if the two stopped dueling one another, here and there, and showed a little more professional appreciation for Defensive Magic, and the amount of focus that goes into it, it could have worked already! Any dimwit who looks at the Astral Plane as nothing but a tool for elemental approximation of--"
"Enough."
"...Yes, Dear."
"...Gahahahahaa-haa!"
"Pff-ahahahaa-HAHAHAA! Krrch-chrr... There IS a counter-force to everything! ...Ahahahaa! Pff-ahahahaaaa..!"
"Gee-ahahaaa! High five, girl! High five! Gahahaa!"
"Pff-ahahahaa..! WHOOO!"
"Kkchhm..."
"Your concern is appreciated, Astara. If it were not for your quick thinking with the barrier, it could have been filling a crater before building those houses."
"...I know, my friend. I should have stated the colors of the Jellies plainly."
"Tsk-awww... I half listened, okaaay? We are good! MASAKA NO TENKAI!! I am really the real dimwit here!! Pff-ahahahaaa!!"
""Haaah...""
"Guys! Guys guys! How ABOUT we go and find a two-headed frog!? They are VERY rare! Fun to watch! Krr-chrr-chrr."
""...Really?""
"Perhaps Astara and Ishmaiyel would like to share with us what they know about two-headed frogs because I do not know much."
""...Ghhh...""
"Mmm-hm-hm-hm. It is settled then."
"Guuuuuys! You will LOVE this! It is not guaranteed, but I will show you a technique I observed from the Golmoran Succubi to find them easier! Come on! COME ON! Pff-ahahaha!"

"Nnh... How much farther? This sure is something without any Magic. Haa... haa..."
"This is exactly the place. That is why I stopped. ...Selestina, if you want to be good at Combat Magic too, then physical condition is very important for us. Less than for a warrior, but still quite important. ...It could have been faster if you did not have to step on Rockturtles and trip over Ents' branches."
"Gh..! ...Father... you recommend doing this once a week... do you not? Hrh..."
"At the very least, but that choice is yours. You are the one who decided. ...Two more days of walking from here, and we can reach Zehibiria."
"Gha... Yes. ...Zehibiria is like if you take Alyahan and shave it. Haha!"
"Hhm-mh-mh. The forests, Selestina. And what would you do about our mountains?"
"Uh... Grind... them? Nuh... Well... Hrhh! Given strong enough Magic, I could grind them down!"
"Ah, yes. Given enough. My favorite hypothetical."
"...Father, when did you become a Shaman?"
"I became a Mystic when you were born."
"Oh-ho-ho-ho! Haa... Your way with words, Father."
"Something you could have skipped inheriting."
"Heh! ...You are leaving for a long time, huh."
"Unfortunately, I have to. The mission is very important."
"Unfortunately!? Father! You ARE an Archmagus! A very good one at that! THAT Magic Crest stands for something! It is not unfortunately! That is your duty! Mother says the same thing! Of course it is important!"
"...Your Mother understands. Most of the time, it is you who does not. One day you will if your plans are as real as you talk about them."
"...W-Well, of course it is a shame too. Others could take your place too, you know."
"Selestina. His Excellency chose me. Archmagus Barthollem argued, but that is just how he can be about such matters. Hhm-mh-mh. That was the decision. ...At some point, maybe you will have to decide as well, and there will always be someone you will not make happy about it."
"...Yes, Father. Why are we here exactly though?"
"This is exactly the place. That is why I stopped. ...Selestina, if you want to be good at Combat Magic too, then physical condition is very important for us. Less than for a warrior, but still quite important. ...It could have been faster if you did not have to step on Rockturtles and trip over Ents' branches."

"...Yes, Father. Why are we here exactly though?"
"I would like to teach you some Magic through a Magic Duel. I want to do this before I leave. Energy Cancel. The most us combat types can cheat in terms of defenses. And Pyroclasm, which should be self-explanatory."
"Whoa! Father! I am sure you out of all people know that asking a friend for a Magic Duel, when there is no mutual itch for it, is very rude! Now, you are asking your own daughter! Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! Haaa..."
"Indeed, I know that, but time is of the essence, Selestina. I did say I would like to. Whatever you learn or want to learn, that is always up to you."
"...Father, I guess I am the one running around saying how much I want to be an Archmagia myself. Huh. ...Haaa, well, at least it is you here. If it were up to Mother-"
"Selestina! Have you ever once considered your Mother's position? It was not an easy decision to stay with me considering my own path, and what that often means. We decided to have you too."
"...No. I am sorry, Father."
"...Selestina, you speak your mind. She did too at one point. Hhm-mh-mh. It is all right."
"Father, one more thing. Can you tell me where you are going?"
"Yes, I can. Seggesmund."
"!!!"
"It is far to the north, bordering Nemora and Golmora."
"...I know..."
"The only land beyond is Snopolepole. Frozen wastes with a very narrow definition of a country. Going to Seggesmund from Alyahan--"
"I KNOW WHERE IT IS, FATHER!!"
"..."
"You... YOU... NAHAAA!! YOU WANTED TO SAY YOUR GOODBYES, DID YOU NOT!? FATHER!!"
"Would you rather make this scene in front of your Mother, or somebody else? She was already prepared for anything."
"YOU..! FATHER!! DAMMIT!! GODDESS!! ...DAMMIT!!! ...And... AND YOU SAY IT LIKE THIS!?"
"The Magic Crest stands for something. You know that very well. Should I add... unfortunately?"
"...Father... If I... IF I BEAT YOU, YOU ARE STAYING! IS THAT CLEAR?"
"Whoa! Father! I am sure you out of all people know that asking a friend for a Magic Duel, when there is no mutual itch for it, is very rude! Now, you are asking your own daughter! Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! Haaa..."

"...Father... If I... IF I BEAT YOU, YOU ARE STAYING! IS THAT CLEAR?"
"Selestina, never overestimate your abilities. I will fight to teach, but there is no chance of you beating me in actual combat. ...However, perhaps one day you can beat me in other ways. Given enough conviction."
"...F-Father... Dammit... Ghha... Hrrh..."
"Selestina. The chances of me coming back are very low. When you are a little older, and you are ready... Seek out Archmagus Barthollem in Crystana. He will gladly take care of the rest. Keep in mind that he will do you no favors. You need to keep practicing and staying true to all the things you told me you want to do. And... There is nothing wrong with deciding otherwise as well."
"..."
"Given enough effort."

"Sit on his shoulder the Fairy Queen did. She mused: Such expression uncommon for Lord Ishmaiyel is. Look back his tired blue eyes did. He asked: Anything she said? Expect much I after all this time do not. ...Find a way we must. Save him we must. Help him we must. Relay the words the Fairy Queen did."
"..."
"Not a moment it took. His eyes out he cried, first time in that year. Fully. He then mused: For what I must do, forgive me you must, my friend. As well for what she decided. Alas, be the same as you we cannot! ...And thus perhaps the Fairy Queen saw them last."
"Unfortunately, it has been decided for me that I will be the judge."
"Understand we do, Knight!"
"If his death is what we need... no matter what his circumstances are or were, then it is what I shall deliver. The decision is mine, but the mission has never been for his sake. Who am I deciding for then? That is what I asked myself before. That is what I am going to weigh against everything else. His death."
"Indeed! Hope we do that sleep well you did, for the road that ahead of us is today!"
"Quite well. Shamanic shrines are convenient spots to rest and heal; even long after they are abandoned. ...The Lost Souls stopped their attacks, so be on your guard for the boring variety of Nemoran monsters."
"Nihihi! Quickly spawned many of them indeed! ...In great pain he is. We muse: Find a way to conserve his strength and to rest he did... at the cost of such nightmares escaping!"
"Esha. After I deal with him, I am sure I can help you to look for your Magic Butterfly. The one."
"..."
"It cannot be denied that you made this mission a lot easier for me. If your words turn out to be true, then it is something I can see myself doing in return. ...My future purpose is to train a successor. Somebody who can grow in skill, and continue as I grow old. Someone who can train others for this same eventuality. Still, there is time to undertake that quest, if you are willing."

"Imagine we did. Our own butterfly find we could, before not too long. Nhii..."
"Absolutely not. Nothing gets in my way until I accomplish and confirm everything I set out to do."
"Nay, Knight! Sorry we truly are! Mean it like that we did not! Follow us hopelessness it did, for far, far too many ages! Nyeeee..! Act we did not! Hope always there was! Far too many chances it is not? Yet only now we... Decide we did."
"I would wager, Esha, that you could easily be the oldest being there is. ...If such coincidences make you feel better, then maybe you simply waited for my mission without even knowing it."
"Nihihihii! Knight, and so the Magic Butterfly mayhap in our path soon reveals as well!"
"You are free to believe that. Simply do not turn beliefs into expectations and truths."
"...Nhiii... Interesting case of musings from you; such that a person we knew say he could easily! Nihihi! Again, the tone and delivery more direct is, but precisely we judge our memory here! ...Nyahahee! Nihihi!"
"...I think we are at the point when you start to waste time. Esha, we move out now."
"...Khhi!? ...Mmmhm... Such absurd lack of-"
"Esha."
"...Sit on their shoulder, thought of herself to be bolder. She mused: Of your reign, the world told. Shadowlord, Shadowlord! Matchless is the power you hold! But the gates of eternal life, breached by your Miracles, were not. To the dust, even shadows must fall. ...Stupid! Stupid! Stupid Fairy Queen that was!"
"...Esha. Sometimes people have long decided what to do. Sometimes honesty only stops delaying the inevitable. Sometimes the alternative remains a mystery. Sometimes we get to live to choose again."
"..."
"My sword is ready. ...Many times you had the chance to confuse my quest. You could lead me to my death. Who can say whether I truly could or could not have seen it then. As I said, your actions speak highly of you. I need to take my chances as well."
"..."
"Come. Sit. We leave."
