* Burmecian Refugee Lorena: We're so happy the Cleyrans decided to take us in!

King of Burmecia: I see. So you saw Puck, eh?
Freya: As mischievous as ever, Your Majesty.
King of Burmecia: I haven't seen him in ages.
Freya: I heard His Highness left Burmecia one month after me. That makes it three years.
King of Burmecia: And yet both you and Puck decided to return to me in this time of danger.
King of Burmecia: I am grateful!
Cleyran High Priest: Freya, we shall conduct an ancient ceremony to strengthen the sandstorm.
Cleyran High Priest: Surely no enemy of ours would attack with the powerful storm protecting Cleyra.
Cleyran High Priest: And with the help of a dragon knight like you, the storm should grow even more powerful.
Freya: Ah, the ceremony from the time when Burmecia and Cleyra were one. I understand.
The King and the High Priest confer.
Freya: Zidane, I met with utter failure when trying to defend Burmecia...
Some Maidens join them.
Freya: And I will not allow Brahne to exert her will upon us any longer!
Zidane: You've changed, Freya.
Zidane: I didn't think you were so strong when I first met you.
Freya: I could not bring peace to Burmecia and thus fulfill Sir Fratley's wish.
Freya: But now, all I can do is protect this beautiful place.
Zidane: Yeah, protecting Cleyra is the best thing you can do for yourself.
Freya: Doing so will help me.
Zidane leaves, and another Maiden joins to make up the group. The harpist begins to play. They dance. After a while, the strings break on the harp.
Moon Maiden Claire: The strings have snapped...
Moon Maiden Claire: A terrible omen, this is...
FMV: The Cleyran sandstorm slowly dissipates.
Zidane: I can't believe the sandstorm disappeared.
Zidane: What happened...?
Freya: I don't know...
Cleyran High Priest: I have never witnessed anything like this since we settled here.
Cleyran High Priest: On the harp, there is a magic stone.
Cleyran High Priest: Since ancient times, we have used the power of the stone to control the sandstorm.
King of Burmecia: Perhaps someone is trying to invade Cleyra.
Cleyran High Priest: I fear that you may be right, my lord.
King of Burmecia: I only hope our enemies don't come up the trunk...
