1. Where...am I?
  2. Where...am I?
  3. Let's hold off on the weapons for now, OK? Probably [cdb]best you don't move at all, actually.
  4. Wait, Claude? Hold on. What're you all doing here?
  5. Wait, Claude? Hold on. What're you all doing here?
  6. I have the same question. It appears we've been [cdb]swallowed up by some kind of strange magic.
  7. That was your doing, wasn't it?
  8. Ngh...
  9. Ngh...
  10. When we came to, we were sprawled on the ground [cdb]here. Charming place, if you ask me.
  11. Have you truly forgotten everything?
  12. You transformed and began attacking your allies. Thankfully, we managed to knock you out and [cdb]capture you.
  13. But soon you awoke and fled... Those who saw you [cdb]said you were like a different person.
  14. Hmm...
  15. I guess that...kinda rings a bell.

  17. The last thing I remember is Arval telling me to slay [cdb]the Ashen Demon. At least, I think it was Arval.

  19. Arval?
  20. The voice in my head. We've known each other for a [cdb]few years now.
  21. The voice in my head. We've known each other for a [cdb]few years now.
  22. Uh...huh.
  23. Pretty out there, right? This is why I never [cdb]mentioned it.
  24. Sounds pretty out there, right? This is why I never [cdb]mentioned it.
  25. And you claim this "Arval" suddenly decided to turn [cdb]on you?
  26. I know how it sounds, but yeah.
  27. I know how it sounds, but yeah.
  28. There are two things I can say for sure.
  29. There are two things I can say for sure.
  30. The first is that Arval's magic is what dragged us all [cdb]in here. And the second...is that no one's in my [cdb]head anymore.

  32. How can you be certain?
  33. Because I don't feel them. At least, not in my mind. Arval's somewhere else now. Somewhere distant.

  35. Well that's vague. How are we supposed to make [cdb]heads or tails of any of this?
  36. At any rate, you appear more like yourself again, [cdb]which we can take as a positive sign—and I truly do [cdb]want to believe you.
  37. At the very least, I hope you know a way out of this [cdb]fathomless prison.
  38. About that. I know I said distant, but Arval's [cdb]definitely here with us somewhere.

  40. If we can find them and figure out what magic they [cdb]used on us, we might just be able to escape.
  41. If we can find them and figure out what magic they [cdb]used on us, we might just be able to escape.
  42. That sounds wildly optimistic.
  43. It sure does. But considering we don't know a thing [cdb]about this place, we might as well give it a shot.
  44. In that case, let's begin looking around and see if we [cdb]can't find any clues to where we are.
