Chapter 33: Guildna's New Journey Begins

How about it, beast? A trade. Bring me the Elemental Arms and I'll release the girl.

What?!

You will find me the Elemental Arms. I know of the unusual power you wield. Should you fail you have no excuse. And you know the consequences.

Zennon, you coward!

Guildna!

Altena!

I truly wonder if they can make it out of this safely...

Who? Oh, Aldo and the others? I would not fret unduly for them. He may not appear so, but that lad has a fearsome strength within him. What concerns me is the ogre clan.

Verily, there is no way of telling what the stars have destined for the holy blade of Palsifal. And what of its intertwined fate with the cursed blade, Ogre Rancorem... At this moment in time, we can only speculate.

Under the might of the Thunder King and his sword, we shall crush the ogres!

The time has come for us to show the ogre clan what true Miglance knights are made of!

The ogre clan, vanquished all those millennia ago, here, in this reality. I still find it hard to comprehend.

Believable or not, it seems we have ourselves quite a hunt to enjoy!

All the ogres just got a lil' lost in time is all. Let's help 'em find their way back.

The holy blade of Palsifal... Ogre Rancorem... The whole ogre clan, wiped out over 3000 years ago... Is that really all that became of us? But now that we're here in the future, this is our chance to avenge our defeat!

Damn ogres! Where are they hiding?! I will tear them from their lair and destroy every last one of them!

Guildna, listen, I know how you're feeling, but that's just not an option right now.

Ogres Spike is protected by some kind of barrier that we can't break through. I wanna get at those stupid ogres as much as you do, but we have to look for another way.

Ngh! Hold on Altena. I will do everything in my power to get you back safely.

Might I add that Lady Altena is no pushover. I have no doubt she is coping fine.

Var-var's right, I just know we'll get Altena back safe and sound!

We'll do whatever we can to rescue her!

First, we need to worry about getting the Elemental Arms. Guildna, Zennon said something about your sword?

My Crimson Blade? Yes, the blade I carry does indeed have the spirit Salamander's power dwelling within it. However, I know nothing of the other Elemental Arms. Even if they did exist, they must have been lost eons ago.

The mirror mentioned the Elemental Arms being forged by the elementals unifying ethereal power, non?

However, evidence indicates that the elementals themselves have been erased from time, even in Antiquity. After running all considerable scenarios, there appears to be nothing we can do.

I would not be so hasty, we may find the solution we seek in Antiquity. The elementals themselves may have scattered to yonder, but their power still resonates throughout the world.

With that being said, I put forth that we seek guidance from the Straw Dummy! Which, of course, means a visit to the blacksmith's in Acteul.

Straw Dummy?
