Bodhi Forest I

Bodhi Forest I (also known as Page 20: Tracking the Demon King and Page 21: The Flying Chariot) is the first checkpoint in Bodhi Forest.
==Dialogue==
===Start===
Vermilion
: "According to the villagers, the Demon King was spotted near the Bodhi Forest in his flying chariot just a short while ago." Upon hearing this news, everyone quickly set off, hoping to overtake the flying chariot and confront the Demon King.
Rama
: "Blast! We've got to keep up!" No doubt, Rama wishes he could have a set of wings himself so that he could fly straight to the Bodhi Forest himself and face the Demon King.
Vermilion
: "Don't worry! With my help, we will make it to the forest... I can see the border of trees from here!"
Southern Star
: "My young friend, I understand how anxious you must be to keep going, but nevertheless, we must remain vigilant. We do not know this forest... and it does not know us. We must be prepared for anything to happen."
Rama
: "Of course—what you say is wise, as always. I will remember to stay alert." Rama takes a slow, steady breath to calm himself and gather his wits.
: "So... based on what I have learned about the Demon King, if he neglected to cover his tracks and so easily allowed us to pursue him into this forest..."
Vermilion
: "...then this may be a trap...?" Vermilion finishes Rama's sentence for him, looking concerned.
Rama
: "Yes. However, the villagers did tell us that the path through Bodhi Forest is the only known route that leads to the Snowy Peak."
Vermilion
: "Okay, then it is decided! Stay close to me... I will protect you as we make our way through this strange forest!"
Rama
: "And I promise not to be a burden, Vermilion! I will stay close to you and do exactly as you say."
===Against <Blazing Falcon> Gadeo===
===Finish===
Vermilion
: "I don't like the looks of all of these animals gathering around... Their bared teeth and unblinking stares... It gives me the feeling that... That they want to eat Master!"
Southern Star
: "Oh, nonsense! Now you are being oversuspicious! Take a good look at them. They are clearly smiling, not baring their teeth! They are merely observing my movements, watching to see what I shall do. They can sense my power, you know!"
Rama
: "Uh... that's one way to look at it, I'm sure, but..." Rama can see that Southern Star is about to launch into a long lecture to reprimand Vermilion, and he can't decide if he should defend her or not.
Vermilion
: "Wait - look! Over there, in the sky!" Just as Rama is about to speak his mind, Vermilion cuts him off, frantically gesturing at the sky.
: "Right over there. Does that look like... a flying chariot to you?" Vermilion points toward the clouds hanging just above the forest, where, sure enough, some sort of flying contraption is hovering in the air, looking as if it is about to drop down below the trees.
Rama
: "You're right! That must be a flying chariot... and it's moving as if it's being pulled by... hang on, is that a golden deer? That must be the Demon King's vessel! Who else could it possibly be? Come, let's chase it down!"
