FFIV After Years – Part 25: Off to Kaipo (Edward’s Tale)

Summary: Edward meets with Baron’s emissary, who is considerably colder than Edward would have expected. He smells something rotten in the state of Baron (or EvilMoon!Baron, to be precise). So he, Harley, and the redshirt guard A-C head towards Baron to “visit” (investigate). They stop in Kaipo after Harley comes down with Desert Fever.

Damcyan

-Baron emissary requested a castle tour? Why? Spying?

-Cecil requests that the meteor be handled only by Baron. Of course, this is Evil Moon Cecil.

-So Edward senses something weird, and it’s off to Baron for a personal visit to EM!Cecil.

-Yay! Harley’s coming. I really like her so far.

-Edward’s getting Cecil Damcyan flowers. Aww. Very Edward of him.

-This is weird. I don’t feel guilty about raiding a castle for treasure. After all, it’s Edward raiding his own castle!

Underground Waterway

-I’ve never started from the Damcyan side before.

-Cool to go up the waterfall.

-Uh-oh. Harley’s feeling sick. If this were “Interlude” again, that’d indicate like a 66% chance of pregnancy.

-Is that a random kid in the waterway?

-Oh. He’s here to offer trades for tails. Bronze Tails, Iron Tails, etc. I don’t have enough to trade right now.

Kaipo

-Harley fainted!

-……

-Desert Fever. Really, game?

-Sand Pearls are only available during a full moon.

-Talk about history repeating. Now Edward is playing his lyre at night in Kaipo, talking to Anna’s ghost in the same place he talked to her in the base game.

-Anna’s ghost apparently looks sad. What’s she trying to tell Edward?

-HI TELLAH’S GHOST!!!


He’s still got a way with words.

-They’re trying to tell him to live fully. But isn’t he? He seems to be a pretty good and engaged king.

Next time: history continues to repeat itself with Desert Fever and the Antlion Cave.
