Sacred Stone Memories Chapter 1/Quest 8 - Storyline

Alchemy

Monster	...
Kanon	Huff...huff...huff...! Hyaaaaaa!
Monster	...
Cadanova	You're inexperienced in Alchemy, but you brute strength is more than a man's.
Kanon	Ack. Even in training, I've never been able to do Alchemy really well.
Cadanova	Whining won't fix anything. If you can't master Alchemy, the only other alternative is death.
Kanon	Ohh... That's harsh.
Cadanova	Not your death...Chloe's.
Kanon	...!
Cadanova	Do you want to save your friend? Then you must master Alchemy as if her life depends on it—because right now it does.
Kanon	Um, Captain Cadanova! Please...teach me Alchemy!
Cadanova	Kanon, what do you think is the most important quality when it comes to Alchemy.
Kanon	W-well, I think that would be...the amount of Alchemia Particles you're born with.
Cadanova	It's the state of your heart.
Kanon	My heart...?
Cadanova	Right now your mind is trapped in the desperate need to master Alchemy to quickly save your friend.
Kanon	Then...what should I do?
Cadanova	Kanon, remember your honor and the path you believe in and must pursue. Why did you want to become a Paladin?
Kanon	W-well, you might laugh, seeing how incompetent I am, but... I want to become the captain of the Holy Guard and protect the peace in Babel! I joined the Holy Guard because I wanted to create a world everyone could be happy!
Cadanova	Then stop being swayed by your emotions. Everything you do must be to fulfill your greater mission.
Kanon	Understood, Captain! I'll...try my best!

Zahar	They should be arriving soon.
Chloe	Za-Zahar, why are you doing this?
Zahar	As a hostage, you'd do best to remain silent.
Chloe	You were next in line to be captain, right? Why did you turn against the Holy Guard?
Zahar	You're still a Squire, correct? Here's my advice: Don't become a Paladin. You're better off that way.
Chloe	Huh? What do you mean?
Zahar	I'll show you with this battle.
Chloe	What? Oh!
Zahar	They're here.
Vettel	...
Scarlet Flame Knights	...
Chloe	Captain Vettel!
Vettel	You're Chloe, right?
Chloe	Y-yes, Captain! Agh!
Vettel	Unbelievable! Has he extracted Alchemia Particles from your body?!
Chloe	I-I'm so sorry! I allowed the enemy to steal my power!
Vettel	No, I'm the one that should apologize for having put you through this.
Chloe	N-not at all! I...I'm sorry for being a burden to you, Captain Vettel! Sniff...waaaah!
Vettel	... ... It's been a while, Zahar.
Zahar	Heh. I've missed you, Vettel.
Vettel	Zahar, your sin of having made one from Envylia weep is heavy...
Zahar	Heheh. Even when I think of you now, it makes my right eye ache.
Vettel	This time, you won't get away with just losing an eye. I'm going to stop you here!
Zahar	Hmph. When you can't even use Alchemy?
Vettel	Not can't—won't! I'll teach you that there's no peace in Alchemy!
Zahar	I'll teach you something as well. The only thing that can change this world is invincible power!
Chloe	Captain Vettel, be careful!
