[The video feed is a bit unsteady, at first. When it stabilizes, it shows a very winded Terra pausing for breath. She winces as she reaches up to shake the sand out of her hair, not having had time to heal herself just yet. When she's able to speak, her words come out in a rush.]

I was out training in the desert, when I saw a large creature lingering near the myrrh tree...a sandhorse. When I went closer to investigate, it attacked...and it's a lot stronger than I remember those being. I just barely managed to teleport away.

[She pauses after brushing away more sand, frowning.]

Something about this isn't right. I'd like to return. That tree is important, isn't it?

If it's anything like the Lamia I encountered near the tree in Caedarva, it's likely a very dangerous beast. Those trees seem to draw monsters as easily as they draw people. Please be careful!

If Figaro is in need of assistance getting rid of the beast, I can lend my aid.

I'll be careful, I promise.

[She manages a small smile.]

Thank you, though I wouldn't want to inconvenience you. You went back to Troia, right?

When I heard King Cecil had disappeared, I came back to offer my aid to Queen Rosa. She was so distraught; I hope he returns to us soon.

I'm still unused to this world's penchant to take people as it pleases.

[Terra sighs and nods.]

So am I. Sometimes, I wake up, wondering if anyone I know has disappeared. It's hard not to think about it, when it happens all the time.

I hope we're able to break Garland's spell soon, so that we need not worry about these things much longer. Fiends are easier to handle than having someone disappear for no reason.



Will you be all right there, against the sandhorse?

[The video feed shakes a little as she enters the castle.]

I think so. We ought to have plenty of people, I just need to find them. If this will help break that spell somehow, then we need to do our part as soon as possible.

Then, I'll be cheering you on from here. Good luck! And be sure to stay safe.

[Terra smiles, bolstered by that confidence.]

Thank you. I'll be sure to mention what happens later.
