Aerin (script)

## Chapter 6: Aerin

### *1 year after the Fall of Madking Garea*

**Sokara:** Are you sure you don't need any companions for this? I could request Galen and a few of Delyra's best soldiers to accompany you.

**Rubio:** You've nothing to worry about. I'm pretty sure it's nothing that I can't handle.

**Sokara:** Well, alright then.

**Corasta:** Stay safe.

*(Rubio returns the hug then packs up his stuff and departs off to the Delyran wayside looming below the faint horizon.)*

**???:** Help! I'm surrounded by strangers!

## Battle Phase

### *Engaging Siren Thief and Trickster*

**Siren Thief and Trickster:** *Auuuuughhhhhhhh!!!!* (upon engagement)

**Siren Thief and Trickster:** *Gwaaauuuughhhh.....* (upon defeat)

#### (If the woman is healed)

**???:** Thank.....you......

(If the woman is not healed)

**???:** Whoever you are, I must thank Solaris for bringing me a miracle and grieving to spare my life.....

## After Save Screen

**Medic:** She's better already. You may come in to see her. She should be waking up anytime soon.

*(Rubio nods in confidence as his heart races into anxiety. Stepping forward into the room, he sees her resting on the cot, timidly awake.)*

**Rubio:** Hey there. Are you doing well?

**???: \*Raspy tone\*** I'm… doing alright.

**Rubio:** You gave me quite a shock back there, luckily I was able to help you in time, or who knows what could've happened.

(The woman blushes red at that statement.)

**???:** Once again, I'd just like to… thank you… uh… I must apologize but, might I ask what your name is?

**Rubio:** Sorry, my name's Marco Rubio. And you?

**???:** Marco… That's a nice name. My name is Aerin.......By any chance, if you don't mind me asking, are you Marco Rubio, the famed Tactician of Delyra?

**Rubio:** Why yes. Yes I am. Is there anything wrong?

**Aerin:** Oh! Nothing. It's just that, I heard quite a lot of things about you.

**Rubio:** Really now? What kind of things?

*(The tactician storytells his backdrop recreuitment into the Shepherds and how they were able to stop Garea and Krotos from Arcturakos and Garuga.)*

**Rubio:** Here. You should change out of that and into these. I'll give you some privacy.

*(Aerin is then led out of the infamry, wearing a set of robes.)*

**Rubio:** We should definitely get you better clothes.

**Aerin:** I was thinking the same thing.

*(The war cleric re appears in her cerise dress minus the headdress, gauntlets, and crinoline.)*

**Rubio:** I got to say, you look good in that outfit.

**Aerin:** You really think so?

*(Silence slices through the two while wading through boisterious marketstalls)*

**Aerin:** Marco, I just want to ask. What were you doing before you found me?

**Rubio:** I was planning to investigate the cause of the recent Siren attacks.

**Aerin:** Siren?

*(Rubio elaborates to his full knowledge on Garuga's fallen soldiers. Aerin takes it all in with a sway.)*

**Aerin:** Let me get this straight, Sirens are reanimated corpses of fallen warriors who came here by some portal in the sky?

*(Marco nods in silence)*

**Aerin:** Ugh… My head hurts…

**Rubio:** Don't worry, I had a hard time believing in it as well.

### *Port Aragary Searoad*

**Rubio:** The path on the left leads to Port Aragary. I'm sure there's a boat somewhere that can sail you home. I guess. This is good-bye.

**Aerin:** Marco. If you don't mind, I'd like to come with you.

**Rubio:** What?! Are you sure? You realize the Sirens won't hesitate to kill you.

**Aerin:** I may not look like it, but I know how to fight.

**Rubio:** You do?

**Aerin:** Back from where I come from, they prepare us like mad in case the war shows up to us.

**Rubio:** Ok then… Take your pick.

*(Marco carefully sets a cloth revealing weapons. Aerin carefully hums in deep thought and picked up a lightweight Nethersbane Axe.)*

**Aerin:** I was trained to be a War Cleric. Why do you think I picked this outfit?

**Rubio:** That sounds legit for woman to say that. I really hate to waste daylight. Let's get going.
