You, knight! You wield the dark sword, do you not? I beg you, lend me your aid!

The very same! I came in pursuit of my daughter, but I cannot get
through the waterway. A great monster lurks in the lake beyond, and it will not let me past. The devil is strong, I warn you. My magic alone is no match for it. But perhaps with your dark sword as well we might defeat it! And this girl! A summoner, is she not? And one with quite some potential, from the looks of it.

You spoony bard!
