(Fiery Dignitary) Lucilicca: Outsiders…? How did they get all this way?

Taneli: Archmage Lucilicca…!

Lucilicca: Taneli?! What’re you doing over there?

"Lord": Even Lucilicca looks different from her other self. I she a completely different person with a different life…?

Lucilicca: Now that you mention it… I remember sending you on a mission. Why did I do that…?

"Lord": She seems to be confused.

Taneil: Archmage Lucilicca! Are you all right?

Lucilicca: Ergh…! Taneli, it’s dangerous to stand by those intruders! Wait, did you capture them?

Taneli: No! These are the ones you… I think there’s something wrong with you.

Fram: What is this, Taneli?! Did you lead us into a trap?

Taneli: No, no, I swear on my life that is not what this is! I think something happened to Lucilicca while I was away…

"Lord": She must have been brainwashed.

Taneli: What…?

"Lord": I don’t think the effect has fully settled, yet, seeing how she’s doubting herself. A little jolt should be enough to bring her to her senses.

Taneli: A little jolt…?

Fram: You mean we gotta whack her upside the head, right? Got it!

Taneli: Oh no!

...

Lucilicca: Ngh… You’re… strong…

"Lord": Second Archmage! Get ahold of yourself! Did you not request Avillon’s aid?

Lucilicca: Oh… Oooh! I’m a bit dizzy…

Taneli: Archmage Lucilicca, are you yourself again?

Lucilicca: I started to have impulses that were… against my will. I thought I needed to exterminate you invaders…

"Lord": There was a curse cast on your mind, something different from a normal spell…

Lucilicca: A curse…? Oh my… You know what, first things first. I’m sorry. I’ve committed a terrible offense against you. I have no excuse.

"Lord": It happens. Are you uninjured?

Lucilicca: Yes, thanks to you holding back…

Taneli: Lucilicca, I was terribly worried!

Lucilicca: Taneli! You did great. I knew you would pull this off.

Taneli: I knew I’d pull it off, too! But I had no idea you’d end up like this!

Lucilicca: I guess it just comes down to the fact that I wasn’t strong enough…

Taneli: Yeah, I can’t describe the anxiety I felt. I honestly thought I was going to lose my job.

Lucilicca: …Do you think that’s really the issue right now?

Taneli: You seemed defeated, so I thought I’d lighten the mood with a joke. You can stop pointing your gun at me now…

Lucilicca: …You oaf.

"Lord": Still, it’s a good thing you have an officer who can deliver when it comes down to the wire. Without Taneli, we may have been too late.

Lucilicca: I have to agree with that. You did excellent work, Taneli.

Taneli: I did nothing. more than bring them here. Thank you for enduring all this time, Archmage.

Lucilicca: I’m glad you all finally made it. Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am the Archmage of the Second Tower of Lumisade, Lucilicca La’eleya.

"Lord": The name’s Lord, monarch of Avillon. We came here upon your request.

Lucilicca: You feel oddly familiar… Have we… met somewhere before?

"Lord": …Maybe.

Lucilicca: Anyway, thank you for coming. It wasn’t an easy request that I made. I promise to reward Avillon as handsomely as I can.

"Lord": We can talk about that later. For now, we should probably get moving.
