In the midst of Nami no Kuni rests a small village, one overrun by thugs, mercenaries, and a ruthless dictator. Just outside this village stands two warriors, two very out of place warriors. The first, is a behemoth of a man, clad in a full suit of heavy plate armor and armed with a rose engraved pole axe. To his side, is a much smaller woman, dressed in light leather armor and a metal mask to cover her face. In her hands rests a serrated shortsword, and a dagger with a curved tip.
"This village needs our help," the man states, his face a scowl behind his helmet. The woman shakes her head.
"No, we shouldn't get involved in something we know little about, we still have no idea where we are or how we got here Marius," she says, but Marius scoffs at her words.
"It's obvious what's happening here Cassandra, these savages are preying on a helpless village, it doesn't matter if we are in this unknown land instead of Ashfield, we need to help these people," he says as Cassandra's grip on her blades tightens.
"We'll be heavily outnumbered."
"You say that as if it'll be a problem."
"It was back in Kinderhook."
"You were alone outnumbered 50 to one."
"What's so different about here then? We will still be outnumbered 50 to one, perhaps more." Marius chuckles before responding.
"The difference my dear Cassandra, is that we will be outnumbered 50 to 2, not 50 to one." Cassandra grins at his words. Marius, as if sensing her delight, gives her a nudge on the shoulder. "What do you say my love? Shall we dispense justice and uphold the peace in this new land?" he asks already knowing her answer.
"Race you to the first kill."
"Loser makes our dinner."
"Better get cooking then." With that, she takes off into the village, and Marius laughs.
"Just another day in paradise."
