(Tot): ......
Regent Cid: So... <gwok> is there any hope for me?
Tot: ...I'm sorry, sire. We must find the person who cast the spell to reverse the effect.
Zidane: Dammit...
Tot: ...Actually, there may be another way. Long ago, I read a book on metamorphosis that discussed methods to reverse the effect.
Regent Cid: Is this true!?
Tot: Yes. However, I don't know if it is a reliable source. The book had a rather comical tone.
Regent Cid: Is there a chance that I could die from it?
Tot: I doubt it will be lethal, sire. We will simple mix three ingredients and apply the formula to your body.
Zidane: Let's just try it.
Regent Cid: <Gwok!> That's easy for you to say.
Zidane: What are the three ingredients?
Tot: Unusual Potion, Beautiful Potion, and Strange Potion. They must be mixed in a 5:2:3 ratio.
Minister Artania: Oh... Magicians of early times often used those potions.
Minister Artania: They were all fairly common in the old times.
Tot: Yes. I expected the ingredients to such a powerful cure to be more exotic, too.
Tot: But as you mentioned, they are no longer popular, so I do not know if we can find them.
Zidane: ...I think Cinna has the Unusual Potion.
Zidane: I'll take care of this. I'm gonna go downtown and look for the ingredients.
Regent Cid: I'm counting on you <gwok>.
