{delay:02}January 1st, Year 397.{br}
I have lived under the good graces of Master Daravon,{br}
for these many months now. He is a virtuous man,{br}
whose kindness I simple do not deserve. He had always{br}
been there for Delita and I, ever since we started the academy together.{br}
The cadets treat me like an older brother,{br}
for reasons I cannot be sure of... {br}Perhaps it is because of how long I've been here.
Speaking of the cadets, they appear quite ecstatic with talk of a mercenary.{br}
I as well, wait to see this man.{br}
What business may he have here?{br}
Master Daravon has spoken highly of him,{br}
the best in the land he says.{br}
As I stand here,{br}
I am apprehensive of the next move I make.{br}
Perhaps it is time to give this world another chance.{br}
Without being a naive fool at every step.{end}

{font:08}Boy  {br}
{font:00}Hmm... you look a bit old to be a student here?{br}
Perhaps you are a teacher at this academy?{end}

//Message x03
{font:08}Cadet{br}
{font:00}That's {Ramza}. He may as well be a teacher!{br}
He is very knowledgable on many things, {br}
and has been here longer then some teachers even! Tee hee!{end}

//Message x04
{font:08}{Ramza}{br}
{font:00}Don't mislead the man now, Cherie. I am just a vagrant now...   {br}
I keep house with the Master Daravon, being allowed room and board for no charge.{end}

//Message x05
{font:08}Boy   {br}
{font:00}Oh...well that is of little importance.{end}

//Message x06
{font:08}{Ramza} {br}
{font:00}What is it that you and your master have come here for?{end}

//Message x07
{font:08}Boy   {br}
{font:00}We are looking for those stout of heart- {end}

//Message x08
{font:08}{Ramza}{br}
{font:00}Stout of heart, you say? For what purpose involve these cadets?{end}

//Message x09
{font:08}Boy   {br}
{font:00}Please don't interrupt... {br}
We will require a substantial amount of aid, post haste. {end}

//Message x0A
{font:08}{Ramza}{br}
{font:00}And just for that you{br}
will put these untrained cadets into harms way?{end}

//Message x0B
{font:08}Boy   {br}
{font:00}Now, now... you paint us in a dark light.{br}
General Daravon has given us permission to do this, {br}
no one is being forced against their will to join this operation.{br}
I don't like these circumstances anymore then you do... {br}
I am Rad, apprentice of Gafgarion.    {end}

//Message x0C
{font:08}{Ramza}{br}
{font:00}A pleasure, I'm sure..{end}

//Message x0D
I have arrived!{end}

//Message x0E
{font:08}Dark Knight   {br}
{font:00}I am Mercenary Extraordinaire Gafgarion.{br}
{br}
Of course, what need have I for introductions...{br}
Enough of that though, down to business.{br}
I grant you military cadets, the chance of a lifetime!{br}
A chance to aid us in glorious combat!{br}
Smugglers have pounced upon a{br}
well known apothecary.{br}
Even now they try to make their escape, with their pathetic.{br}
excuses for mercenaries in tow!{br}
we must act fast to rout them!{br}
Our first priority are the goods they carry!{br}
We will return them to their owners. As the contract makes clear...     {end}

//Message x0F
{font:08}Gafgarion     {br}
{font:00}Cadets, steel yourselves! {br}
{br}
The smugglers have made the{br}
mistake to run very close to this very academy!{br}
Any brave soul should leave with us now!{br}
Any time wasted {br}
is a chance for them to escape!{br}
The reputation of the Gafgarion Troupe will not allow that!{br}
Come with me!  {end}
