Game 1 Outline |
It is not long before the wizard returns, carrying a couple bags of supplies. He tosses you some clothing (the main item of which is a gold-lined long white dress with long sleeves), urging you to get dressed quickly. "We need to get going as fast as possible," he explains. "There is large squad of knights bearing the royal banner headed this way. They will be here soon, and Kazaki himself is at their head."
"What's a Kazaki?" you ask, finishing with the dress and pulling on a pair of soft leather shoes.
"Kazaki is the head of the Imperial Guard, a mighty warrior who has never lost a fight. He is shrewd, fearless, and nearly invincible in combat, with over 1000 victories under his belt. If we go up against him we are sure to fail." Seeing that you have finished, the wizard quickly leads you out of the hut.
The two of you leave town as quickly and discretely as possible. But it seems all for naught, as you are spotted by an armored man on horseback just as you think you're in the clear. He immediately gives chase, followed by several others. The wizard uses levitation magic to aid in your flight, but deep down you both know it won't be enough - not only do the knights have you greatly outnumbered, but the horses they all ride are fast and tireless. It is not long before they have you trapped - pinned against a towering cliff face. The wizard makes to cast a spell, but one of the knights slashes his staff in half, rendering him helpless.
All the knights hold their swords drawn and ready as one knight emerges from the group. His horse, unlike all the others, is black, and his armor is more elaborate than the others' as well - his armor includes spiked shoulderpads and a long red cape. He removes his helmet, revealing his face to be hardened and battle-scarred. He looks you in the eye and chuckles, "You got nowhere left to run, girl. This ends now."
The wizard attempts to plea in your defense. "Kazaki, stop this! You don't know what you're doing!"
The large knight, Kazaki, looks at him and cocks an eyebrow oddly. "Oh really?" he says, seemingly humoring the wizard. "Then by all means, tell me."
The wizard waves an arm at you. "She is the Chosen One, the mythic heroine destined to repel the Darkness, and future mother of the Legendary Hero!"
"I am not!" you snap angrily. "I have my own life, and I choose my own path!"
Both the wizard and the knight ignore your outburst. "Chosen One or not, it doesn't matter," Kazaki says simply. "My orders were quite clear - bring the girl before the prince, by any means necessary. And I do not intend to fail!" And with that, Kazaki reaches out and grabs a hold of your arm. Immediately, instinct takes over, just as in the castle courtyard. You drop down and twist your arm free of Kazaki's grip, and duck between his legs as he tries to grab you again. As you jump to your feet, however, you are greeted with a crushing blow to the side of your head - Kazaki has swung his arm around to catch you as you stood. Dizzied and in pain, you collapse onto the ground.
