Setting
At the northern area is Edge Town, a large outpost built for travelers making their way through the wilds and desert ahead. It may be in the middle of nowhere, but it's got everything any explorer needs to go forward.
"That was...unfortunate," the tall man said.
"Sorry, Sage Phoebus..." the fox girl lamented. "At this rate, we'll never get back to Gallinia!"
"Now Myaku, don't fret," the tall man, Phoebus, replied. "Practically all of the battle will be down here in the terra firma, anyway. And as whimsical luck would have it, this area's key has been broken..."
"Well, that's even worse!!" the fox girl, Myaku, cried out. "I...I don't know if I'm ready for - !"
"We will be, when the time comes," Phoebus said.
Myaku caught a deep breath, heeding Phoebus's words. Maybe he was right - perhaps when it matters most, she'll be ready.
"Now then...We should see if we can rendezvous with Orion," Phoebus explained. "Assuming he hasn't left Fantasma already, of course."
"Roger!" Myaku said with a salute. Then, they set off for Mt. Moon.
However, somewhere in the area is Fawful, who was spying on Myaku and Phoebus.
"Nihehehehe...!" he chuckled. "What brings the dwellers of the great golden rice cake to this dry crust? This is worth a look-into! Look out, fink-rats! Fawful's coming for you!"
With that, he pursued on his rocket platform.
