[Grey, deadened wasteland, as far as the eye can see. The camera shows the midst of a huge battlefield, littered with long-dead bodies and fallen war machines. In the distance there are ruins of a whole city: derelict skeletons of buildings that have all been long abandoned and fallen into disrepair. In the midst of it all is a lone paladin, taking in the devastation around him as the camera grows closer.]

Here's your Sky Phone, kupo! Need help with how to use it?

[Cecil catches sight of the speaker and reaches to take the phone from the little creature. He shakes his head.]

That won't be necessary, thank you. You're free to leave. This is no place for a...

--Moogle, kupo! Thanks, mister. This place gives me the creeps...

[The camera jerks as Cecil picks up the phone and it moves to his height, then it re-focuses on his face as he tries to remember the phone's functions. While his unnerving surroundings certainly concern him, there are two people he needs to find as soon as possible.]

I'm looking for my family. Their names are Ceodore and Rosa. I'd be grateful if anyone could tell me their whereabouts, and if they're safe.

[Cecil peers at the Sky Phone, trying to get a better view of her.]

...don't you ever leave us again, understood?

[Thoroughly scolded!]

I promise I won't. I'd no intention of leaving, I assure you.

Good.

[Not that he could help it, but still.]

We'd pick you up, but we have to do our part at the Water Shrine. Do you have someone coming for you?

The Water Shrine? What's happening?

[Yeeah, he's a little behind the times.]

Terra offered to come for me, don't worry.

[Relief.]

Oh, good.

Regent Cid asked for the elemental crystals to be returned to the shrines. Once there, they should lead us to the Chaos Shrine. Then we can confront Garland.

That's happening now? I arrived just in time to be of assistance, then.

[Rydia nods.]

Yes, you did. And please hurry to Rosa. She needs you.

I'll go to her as soon as I am able.

And we'll come to you as soon as we're able.

[Because Rydia needs to cling, too.]
