-Immediately upon arriving back in Mysidia, we see that the city is under an all-out monster assault.
-We charge to the Prayer Dais to check on the Elder, clearing out a Steel Golem along the way.
-The Crystal is still there at least.
-Elder in trouble, and boss fight to save him! This is against a floating eye, “Blood Eye.” Tough fight, and he does lots of damage, but Kain’s jump attack shreds him.
-The monsters came from the Devil’s Road apparently.
-DAMMIT KAIN. He left our party to head to Baron, leaving Porom in the dust.
-Porom runs out of the Tower to follow Kain, and runs into none other than Evil Moon Girl.
-Because of course. Of course she’s behind this.
-Incidentally, she gets really cool music whenever she’s on screen. Very… Moon-like.
-The Elder is coming out to stop EMG! IT’S ON!!
-…Except it’s not really on. These are two white mages against EMG. They barely do any damage. This is a recipe for disaster.
-Especially when she summons the still-shackled Ramuh.
-Just before Ramuh’s Judgment Bolt can strike, the Elder somehow protects Porom from its impact. He dies, but she is unharmed. Bye, Elder
-Kain came back! …with the crystal in hand. Why?
-He’s offering it to EMG if she first lets him kill the king of Baron. WTF game are you playing at, Kain? EMG agrees to this pact, and walks away.
-Kain jumps away, heading towards Baron before Porom can get an answer about what the hell Kain is doing.
-Leaving Porom in the corpse-strewn streets of Mysidia.
-Alone.
END OF POROM’S TALE
Next time: Edward’s Tale. I noticed that Kain’s Tale is also an option, but I think it may have opened up later, so I’ll get the first wave of tales done before moving onto Kain. Edward and then Yang, then Kain.
