Chapter 2
The King of Cornelia
In Cornelia Castle, Selina and her entourage enter the throne room. They are greeted by the King.
"Welcome, travelers. I am told you carry crystals. Is this true?" the King asks.
Selina nods. "Yes."
Then they show their crystals to him.
"It's just as Lukahn's prophecy foretold: 'When darkness veils the land, four Warriors of Light shall come.'"
Selina thought to herself, "'Warriors of Light?'"
The chancellor speaks up. "Your Majesty, we cannot be certain that these are the warriors foretold by the prophecy."
"Yet they stand before us with the crystals. I cannot dismiss this as mere coincidence. Crystal bearers, there is a task I would ask of you. Will you not rescue my daughter, Sarah?"
As Selina and company listened on, the King and the Chancellor told them that a knight formerly of his Majesty's service, Garland, abducted the princess and fled to the Chaos Shrine. They tried to save her, but he was too strong.
"If you can rescue Sarah, I will have the bridge rebuilt as a sign of my gratitude."
Seeing as they needed to continue one their way, Dylan stepped up. "We'll do it, your Highness."
"Thank you," breathed the King. "Go, Warriors of Light, and do not fail me."
With that, they left the throne room and headed back to town to prepare for their confrontation with Garland.
