When Worlds Collide: Part II

Part II: A Life Worth Dying For
As three months passed from continues sailing from Vespanola to the New World, the ship of the new Queen approaches the Town of
From afar, they can see the smoke and remains of what seems to be an intense battle that just took place. Queen Diazame wanted to disembark and see what has happened, but she was heeded by his royal advisor that they might be caught in between the fight if a battle is going on... Yet Diazame felt she needed to be there, that she had to be there!
The ship anchors in the
As Diazame and her troops rummage through the deserted town, she was astounded to see the outcome of the battle… She had only seen one dead body, and that was her mother’s. But the late Queen Elizabeth only looked as if she was sleeping, softly slumbering in her royal coffin.
But this… this lake of dead cadavers was a chilling and frightening feeling that despite many of the corpse was of their enemy, it made her realize how fragile life is, and from the eyes of the slain, this is not what they wanted. But they had to fight for their country’s sake.
They walked further, trying to find any sign of life, any s
urvivors, a soldier, a townsmen, anyone! The Queen was getting desperate yet she realized that they had other duties to fulfill. She was going to ask her troops to board the ship already when one of his soldiers shouted. “Someone’s alive in here! Your Majesty come quick!”
Diazame felt the surge of her blood as she raced to the survivor. The soldier was just looking at the man lying, semi-conscious and was bleeding to death. “What are you doing?!" She souted. "Help him up!”
“But your majesty… he’s… he’s-!”
“He’s a what?!”
She took the man himself and realized why the soldier didn’t want to help him. Covered in blood and dirt, it was highly distinguishable that this man was of high ranking, more like a captain for Brestian’s Army.
“Your Highness!” Diazame’s Royal advisor detested. “This man is our enemy! He has lead the battle to fight our people and you’re going to help him?!”
“Treat him!” She blurted. “He may be an enemy, but I have seen enough bloodshed. We embarked on this journey to stop the war, not tolerate it! He may be an enemy, but he is still human in need of help.”
“But My Queen! What if he attacks us after we treated him?!”
“Only a man who has no breeding would bite his rescuer’s hand. He seems to be a noble man.”
“Excuse my persuasiveness your Highness, but even if he is well-mannered, you cannot remove the fact that he was trained to become a soldier, a cold-hearted murderer to carry on his task and live for his country’s sake!”
“You said it yourself Gastor, ‘to live for his country’. He wants to live and look at him! He looks as if he’s barely making it. But, fine… if it would make you sleep well tonight, have him guarded well, but I want our guest to be treated properly. I will check on his condition in his barracks.”
“Alas, As her Majesty wishes...” Gastor sighed.
As they carry the wounded captain back to the ship, Diazame ponders at the name of the mysterious young man who struggles to live amidst the lost fight…

When Worlds Collide
A Granado Espada Fanfiction
12 years ago…
“Make way for the Queen and Princessess! Make way! Treat her Majesty! We cannot lose our Queen in this hazy crisis!”
With the sudden commotion, the townsmen of Vespanola are provoked at the sight of the royal family and its court as they enter the castle. They know they came all the way from Brestia of the
And tragically, days later, the Royal Castle is now keeping from the world a secret that would devastate their country, and most likely lead to the
And so, the royal court critically deliberates at their preparations for the battle, and most importantly, the coronation of their new Queen. Between the twins Princess Diazame and Gabrielle. The late Queen would have chosen Diazame to heir the throne because she is known to be brave and intelligent, and has learned the ways of her country well. The royal court were confident that Diazame can be their new ruler, except for a little problem about her rash decision-making. It can’t be helped since she is still a kid at heart, but her responsibility is grave, and so they are willing to support their majesty. As for Gabriella, she was still devasted at the sudden loss of her mother, and so it was for certain, Diazame has realized she cannot show much melancholic emotion specially in their present situation.
As months passed, the people of Vespanola are alarmed at the news from other allied countries that they are being invaded by the Brestian Army. With no other choice, they dispatch their finest troops called the Red Navy to aid in the battle.
As the Vespanolan people become restless of the turning events, Queen Diazame wanted to assure them of victory.
Then she made a reckless move.
Her majesty has left with an army, hoping to stop the battle by discuss it over with Simon Ayande.
…Even if it meant handing herself over to the enemy.

Okay... I'm really not sure about the beasts (except for the all-original Fallen Champion) that could be summoned... ~_~" the wolf is okay, but a bear? *LOL!* Gimee some idea! There are no eagle enemies in GE so far! >_<
Anyway, right now i'm still busting my brains trying to work out the long version of the The Lost Princess, though I think i'll be changing the title... And by the way, I also changed the years the princess was supposedly lost, it's now only 12 years because she would be really old already... and i don't think if players knew that, they wouldn't be so attracted even though she's a sexy huntress... XD
...Spoiler?
I've thought of a new RNPC because our protagonists' journey. I have an idea about his skills, stance and story but I'm primarily sleeping and waking up, thinking of Alphonse and Diazame's fanfiction. (sleeeeppy~ -_-")
Clues: The new RNPC's job is an Anime title, a book written by my favorite author Paolo Coehlo, and the goal of this class has been known to be associated with King Maida's power. ^^v

And now for the story / quest =)
I know you’re probably wondering why I included the Fallen Champion as a very powerful summon. *LOL* It’s actually part of the interesting story of the mysterious RNPC…
On the Ship to ustiur, an NPC (named Messenger) can be talked to and asked if he’s okay.
Messenger: “Ugh... to say the least I am not, I have been from the old world to the new, trying to fulfill my mission for my client. But my last quest has wounded me and I am unable to finish my search. If you would be so kind to help me, I’d give you half the payment of my client.” (I’m thinking reward will also mean raising the family reputation)
(I’ll be using my Family as example for the conversation)
Sigrid Family: (Options will be:)
-I’m sorry, but I am on my own journey
-You seem to be persevere about that quest. Okay I’ll help.
If Family chooses “I’m sorry” option, the quest is cancelled.
If “You seem”, quest proceeds to next stage.
Messenger: “Oh thank you… what do you say your name is again?”
Sigrid Family Option: Say your Family name
Messenger: “Sigrid Family… I am in debt to you for this act of kindness. Well then, if you are going to help me, I have two more quest to do and that is to bring my client certain items he needs. The truth is I don’t know my client, personally that is… Oh! He asked me not to tell anyone about him… but since you’ve been kind enough, I will tell you more about him if you complete my request. I still need the rare 5 High quality wood and 5 Mana Stones which are drops from random monsters. Bring them back to me if you are done.”
If quest is done, go back to messenger
Messenger: “Oh my, Sigrid Family! You’ve done it! You are able to complete my search. Here’s 10,000 vis for your hard work.”
Receive payment.
Talk to Messenger again to proceed with quest.
Messenger: “Sigrid Family! You came at a right time! I have been doing some thinking and I cannot contain my curiosity anymore. I know I would seem to be a traitor to my mysterious client but I need you to go and search about his identity. Will you help me? I’ll reward you for your patience.”
Options:
-I’m sorry, this time I can’t.
-You’ve got me hooked into this. Okay I’ll help.
Messenger: “Oh thank you Sigrid Family! You are truly ready to lend a hand. Okay, I need you to take this coin to a scholar which I believe can be found at Cite de Reboldoeux. He can determine where this coin came from. It is very antique but costs a lot to the market today. This is the only way I can think of to discover the identity of my mystifying but affluent patron.”
The new quest then takes you to Cite de Reboldoeux. Find the scholar and talk to him.
Scholar: “What can I help you with now Sigrid Family?”
Option: Show coin and ask the maker of it”
Scholar: “…Sigrid Family! Where did you get this?”
Sigrid Family Option: “Someone asked me to show this to you so he would also know where it came from.”
Scholar: “This is… this is an archeological find! This coin is part of the new treasury for the previous short-lived Queen of Vespanola 12 years ago. Only a small sum of it was produced for Princess Diazame, twin of the crowned ruler, Princess Gabriella of the
Now got to Eusebio.
Eusebio: “Did you say Princess Diazame?! …Nobody has asked me about her for a long time now… marvelous young woman. Her body may not be found for 12 years now, but her presence is still very well alive in the minds of the old world. Her future made her the crowned ruler of Vespanola after her mother's death. A pretty and intelligent girl, too bad most people agree she makes such rash decisions... Her destiny changed because of the choice she made. On a war she led to the new world, she met an injured Republican captain that turned to out to be Simon Ayande’s cousin, the ruler of the Republican. Princess Diazame thought she could make Captain Alphonse Ayande on their side. Taking him hostage and journeying back to the castle, they fall in love with each other. Blinded by love, they became neutralists just wanted to live a life of their own as hunters for treasure, far away from their political families. Diazame's sister, Princess Gabriella was the only heir to the throne and until now, she still rules among the Vespanolans. One day, as Diazame along with Alphonse and their troops were searching the territory of Prison de Joaquin Schivaliere, Alphonse was believed to be slain by the monsters and his soul was trapped to become the Fallen Champion. Crushed by the loss of her love, Princess Diazame seems to have died of depression but no one has found her body.”
Option: Quest message pops up, “Return to scholar”
Scholar: “Have you learned about Princess Diazame?”
Sigrid Option: “Yes, she has a fabulous but unfortunate story.”
Scholar: “She’s dead already yet I wonder where your patron got this coin. Whoever gave this to him may have found the treasure Princess Diazame got and is living well-off somewhere…”
Option: Quest message pops up, “Return to Messenger”
Once in the Ship, talk to the Messenger and relate the story.
Messenger: “I see… that may be a logical theory… that my client indeed has found the lost treasure of Princess Diazame… but the part where he lives ‘well-off’? I’m not so sure about that. My client lives in a small and simple hut deep within the
You received 20,000 vis
A letter from Dr. Torche
In inventory quest, you still have the 5 High Quality Wood, 5 Mana Stone and Antique coin as remembrance of the quest.
You now go to Ustiur and find the location of the Mysterious Client. (GM just create it somewhere in the forest! :p)
In a hut… there’s an NPC hooded in black and all you can see is his eyes and his Bow.
5 cells away from him, a message pops up.
Hooded person: “Stop right there! I will kill you if you go any further!”
Options:
-Leave.
-Fight him.
Now if you choose to fight, you absolutely have no way of winning because the correct option you need to choose is to leave.
Once you choose it, your family will speak.
Sigrid Family: “I’m sorry to bother you but your messenger was injured during his task and has asked us to bring these items you have requested.”
You give him 5 Hard Wood, 5 Mana Stone, Letter from Dr. Torsche.
Hooded person: “So you really were just sent by my messenger. You are…?”
Say Family Name.
He reads the letter and becomes disturbed.
Hooded Person: “Sigrid Family… I have a favor to ask of you. It seems you are stronger than my messenger and I will give you a reward beyond your expectations. In exchanged for my allegiance, I need you to do a very hard and dangerous task.
…
You need to bring me the soul amber of the Fallen Champion found in the Prison de Joaquin, Schivaliere. After that, bring it to Dr. Torsche and ask him to make an Envicto Stone out of it. He will know it is I, Alphonse who has sent you.”
Option:
-Fight the Fallen Champion? Are you insane?! (If you choose this, hooded person answers “I see… I was a fool to think you can do this job. Now go on your way and don’t speak of what you see in this forest!”
-Now that’s a challenge. You better be worth it. (If you choose this, his answer will be “Excellent. It’s been a longtime since I’ve seen such high spirits. I’ve been in this forest for 17 years and I’ve secluded myself from the cruel and feeble world. And I’m willing to leave all this after you bring me what I need.”
The attainment of the soul amber will be automatic once you have killed the Fallen Champion. If under the circumstance where there are many Family who is killing it at the same time, you need to make the highest damage in order to attain the soul amber. (Only with the quest initiated shall you be able to get the soul amber.
Once you have accomplished this task, go to Dr. Torsche in his Mansion and ask that an ‘Envicto Stone’ be made of it.
Dr Torsche: “Welcome back Sigrid Family! So you want an Envicto Stone be made of this stone amber. Alphonse is really intriguing, asking me about how I made my Catherine come back to life. As you very well know, I can only make a likeness of her but not make her memories live again. Creating the stone it is an easy task since I’ve experimented on this before… but I will need 200 otite pieces to give energy to the stone. Do you know what an Envicto Stone does?”
Option: “No, what exactly does it do?”
Dr. Torsche: “So he hasn’t told you. The Envicto Stone is a powerful stone that allows you to summon the likeness of the soul you have captured. I believe that this soul amber was from the fallen champion? If you use this stone with the proper enchantment, for a moment you can summon the Fallen Champion and use it to your intention. I do not know that Alphonse, but I wish he is going to use the stone in its proper use. I am just captivated by the fact I can make other’s likeness like I did to my dear Catherine.”
After completing 200 otite pieces, go back to him and have the stone made.
After receiving the finished Envicto Stone from Dr. Torche, go back to Aphonse.
Alphonse: “Sigrid Family, you are back. Were you able to complete my request?”
You hand him the Envicto Stone.
Alphonse: “This… Sigrid… you’ve done it… you’ve just proven yourself worthy of allegiance and you’ve resurrected my melancholic spirit. With the trouble you went through, I believe it is right for me to tell you who I really am. My name is Diazame, daughter of Queen Esperanza, sister of the crowned ruler Princess Gabriella and lover of the departed Captain Alphonse Ayande. I have lived in this forest for 17 years, denying myself of the tragic events that happened in my life. But with this Envicto stone, I will be able to summon Alphonse in the image of the Fallen Champion, even for a moment I may at least see him and know that he is always with me. I will go with your journeys but will remain hidden in this cloak, so my family nor my supposed enemies know I still exist. I am happy with my life, free from the strict and obligated future. I learned to be more independent and became strong without the help of political families and of outcomes of wars. The only part of me dead is my heart who is longing for my love.”
Congratulations!
You have Received Princess Diazame’s Character Card.
~Extra note: An additional mission for Diazame’s outfit can be done at level 80. A recipe for her clothes can be made by Andre Janzur. (Yes! She’s not in her cloak! She’s disguised as a very sexy archer. *Drool*) I haven’t thought of any items needed for her clothes, but it’s suppose to be hard and rare items. It’s more fulfilling to have you princess archer out of her cloak right? =p
