Hidden Truths 1/Script

Opening Diologue
​(Enemies appears on the map)
 * Anankos: Owain, Inigo, Severa. Are you ready for this?
 * Owain: Yes. My fell hand and I are ready.
 * Inigo: Naturally.
 * Severa: Let's get this over with.
 * Anankos: Then let us begin. ROOOOOAAAAAR!!
 * Severa :  Wh-what just happened?! Why did you change the color of my hair?
 * Owain: Huh?! My Brand is gone!
 * Inigo :  You've got some powerful magic up your sleeves, Mr. Anankos.
 * Anankos: I tought it wise to alter your appearances before we depart for our destination. Any characteristics that could hint at your true lineages must be kept hidden. The least I can do is lessen the burden you three shall endure for taking on this task.
 * Severa :  Drat... I really liked the color of my hair.
 * Inigo :  Don't worry, Severa. That new color is rather fetching on you!
 * Owain :  Heh. You're still as much a flirt as you ever were. I guess even Anankos doesn't have the power to change THAT. At least you're consistent. That's one thing even the war ending didn't affect.
 * Anankos :  Now that I have altered your appearances, you'll need new clothes and powers. Finally, the last step will be to create new names for the three of you.
 * Owain :  New names?! You're joking! o basically we must hide our true identities in case the worst happens... A shadowy warrior of darkness living under a false identity---I could get used to that!
 * Inigo :  Um, Mr. Anankos, since you're having us change our names and appearances... that means this you're asking of us is incredibly difficult and dangerous. Correct?
 * Anankos :  You are correct. I need you three to travel to another place and time to fight for me. It is a world where fates intertwince. A world of choices and consequences. I truly hope the fates are kind to you there, because if they are not... then death awaits you all.
 * Inigo :  Death?!
 * Severa : But we finally achieved peace here! I can't go DYING before I've had time to enjoy it!
 * Owain :  She's got a point! Dark missions are my specialty, but risking my life again...
 * Anankos :  I see. I cannot say your reluctance is unexpected. I will not force any of you to go. You have every right to refuse my request.
 * Inigo :  Wait! Who said anything about refusing?
 * Severa : Yeah, I never said I wouldn't go. It's just a shame, is all.
 * Owain :  Though I doubt there's much reward in it for us, I will lend you my unholy strength!
 * Anankos :  You agree to my request? I must ask... Why?
 * Owain :  Well, it's clear you're in a real mess. You need us.
 * Anankos :  Hmm...
 * Severa : Look. We may be young, but we have tons of experience on the battlefield. And we've all been through a lot. We can tell when someone really needs help.
 * Inigo :  It's true. And when someone truly needs our help, it's not in our nature to refuse. The stakes are high---that much is clear. We want to help in any way we can. Even if it all turns out to be a lie, we're choosing to believe in you.
 * Anankos :  ... Thank you, young heroes.
 * Severa : You sure looked suspicious when we first met, though, covering your face like that. I never thought someone like you would come calling for us at the castle walls!
 * Owain :  And the first thing out of your mouth was, "Please save my kingdom!" Even though you wouldn't tell us more, that certainly got our attention.
 * Inigo :  Yeah, the most we could get our of you was when and where to meet you. "If you trust me, follow this map and meet with me on the night of the next ull moon." It was all kinds of mysterious! How could we refuse?
 * Anankos :  I am sorry for keeping you in the dark.
 * Severa : Meh, no worries. But there's one thing I still don't understand... Why did we have to travel all this way to another CONTINENT to get more info?! You realize most people wouldn't be able to manage that, right?
 * Anankos :  Haha, I'm sorry about that too. Still, you all came, nonetheless.
 * Owain :  I suppose being heroes is our birthright. Or maybe we crave the thrill of conquest... the seduction of revelation. No, I think it's just that we can't bear to abandon someone in need. But if we find out you're taking advantage of our heroic nature... I hope you're prepared to face the consequences.
 * Anankos :  I understand. I have no intention of deceiving you or taking avantage of your generosity. As heroes who defeated the Fell Dragon Grima, you deserve far better.
 * Inigo : Um, did we tell you about that? I don't recall telling you about that...
 * Anankos :  Again, I must apologize. Knowing you three come from a desolate future... It pains me to involve you in another war.
 * Inigo : You even know we're from the future?! Just who are you, Mr. Anankos?
 * Anankos :  I...
 * Severa :  Go on! Spit it out already!
 * Anankos :  Severa, get down!!
 * Severa :  Huh?!
 * ???: ...
 * Severa :  Wh-who is that creep?!
 * Anankos :  No! This cannot be! They must have caught wind of my plans...
 * Owain : What are those things?! Zombies? Risen?!
 * Inigo :  No, I don't think so. We can sense them, but we can't see them. They clearly intend to kill us. But why?
 * Anankos :  *sigh* I'm afraid the fault is mine.
 * Inigo :  What do you mean?
 * Anankos :  Listen carefully. Those warriors are from another world. They followed me here. I didn't want to affect this world any more than necessary, but---
 * Severa :  What kind of a world do you live in if there are creepy jerks like those around?!
 * Anankos :  I... can't tell you that. Not yet.
 * Owain : Even if you could, we don't have the time. We need to defend ourselves! I don't care who they are---we can't let them harm our world!
 * Inigo : He's right! We can discuss this over a nice cup of tea later. And besides, we already said we believe in you. We meant it.
 * Anankos :  !!
 * Severa :  That's sweet and all, but can we start fighting already?! We said we'd take the job, so let's get to it! BUT, after this is over, you better answer all of our questions. And I mean ALL!
 * Anankos :  Yes, of course. You have my word.
