Prier: You still don't get it?!

Girl: I'm not finished!
   So I want you to teach me. Teach me what a truly attractive man is like.

Baldy: Suzanne...
   Yes. YES!!

Prier: All right! That's a relief.

Croix: I guess love can be a very tricky thing.

Prier: Haven't you ever been in love, Croix?

Croix: Who knows?
   Remember I've got amnesia.

Prier: Oh yeah...

Croix: What about you, Alouette?

Alouette: M-me? I'm the same as you. I don't know...

Culotte: (Sister Alouette is so pretty...)

Prier: (Love...)
   (I've been so set on becoming the Maiden of Light that I never even
   thought about love...)
   (Love... Love, huh...?)
   (I wonder what it feels like to be in love...?)
   (I guess it's different from how I feel about Culotte...)
   (And different from how I feel about Father Salade and Alouette...)
   (And Croix...)
   (I've only just met Croix, but he seems very nice...)
   (Cheerful, dependable...)
   (And... handsome too...)
   (But is that love?)
   (......)
   (I Just don't know.)

Croix: What's the matter, Prier?

Prier: What?!
   N-nothing! Nothing at all!

Croix: What's her problem?

Prier: (Suddenly seeing Croix's face must have really scared me... My heart's
   racing...)
   (My heart's... racing?)
   (Why is that?)
   (Just because he startled me?)
   (Or...)
   (.....)

Culotte: (What's wrong with Prier? She's acting weird...)

Alouette: ...In any case, the actions of the Church of the Divine Mother are
   quite worrying.
   Father Salade might have been right about the Dark Prince's return being
   close at hand.

Prier: The dark prince?
   That means I'll become the Maiden of Light soon, too!
   Teehee!

Alouette: Oh get over yourself!! *hits Prier with book once again*

Culotte: We didn't know it at the time,
   But the events leading up to the final showdown between the maiden of 
   light and the prince of darkness was already beginning to unfold.
   Soon we would know the tragic ending to our story.

2.26 Chapter 6 "The Journey Begins"

 Dream
 
Goddess: Alouette...
   Alouette...

Alouette: Goddess...?!
   Are you, could it be... The Goddess Poitreene?

Goddess: Alouette... Seek out... Fatima...

Alouette: Fatima?

Goddess: The Dark Prince... Will be... When you know... he will again...
   And the Maiden of Light... Her life... all things... end.

Alouette: Goddess? Goddess!!


 At Church

Father Salade: ......

Alouette: What do you think, Father Salade?

Father Salade: Hmm...
   That might just be a sign from the Goddess herself...

Prier: Y-you think so? I think it was just a dream...
   Right everybody?

Culotte: I think it was a sign from the Goddess, too.
   You're amazing, Sister Alouette.

Prier: *smotes Culotte*
   (If her dream was really a sign, Alouette is going to be the Maiden of
   Light...)
   (No. Can't happen.)

Croix: The dream may or may not be a sign, but it wouldn't hurt to check out
   this Fatima, right?

Prier: Just a minute, Croix! Whose side are you on?!

Croix: I figure at the very least this Fatima place might help Alouette
   remember her past.

Prier: Really? That's it?

Croix: That's it.
   Why are you so touchy all of a sudden?

Prier: I-I'm not touchy...
   (......)
   (I thought for sure Croix would take my side...)
   (......)
   (You don't suppose Croix likes Alouette better than me...?)
   (I must be losing it! What am I saying?)

Culotte: (Prier's acting kind of weird.)
   (She doesn't like him, does she?)

Alouette: Father Salade... DO you know of a place called Fatima?

Father Salade: ... No never heard of it.

Alouette: Hum...

Father Salade: You might check the royal libary. It's inside the Castle
   Cresson.
   We're not busy today. Why don't you do some research?
   And there could be a connection with the Dark Prince.

Alouette: Thank you!

Father Salade: OK, Prier?

Prier: OK, OK.


 Cresson Castle

Queen: I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
   What was it you wanted?

Alouette: Thank you Your Majesty.
   We want to use the castle library to do some research about a certain
   place.

Queen: The library?

Alouette: Yes, if its not to much trouble.

Queen: I'm afraid that is impossible.
   I can't allow outsiders into the library, even at the Church of the Holy
   Maiden's request.

Eclair: Mother... Couldn't you make an exception this once?

Queen: Eclair, how many times must I tell you not to call me Mother in front
   of other people?

Eclair: I'm sorry, Queen Crepine.

Queen: Eclair...
   The royal family leads by example. We will respect the law, even when
   inconvenient.
   When you are queen, you will understand. For now, just obey.

Eclair: ......

Prier: (Poor Eclair...)

Alouette: With all due respect, Your Majesty, this is very important. It 
   involves the Dark Prince.

Queen: The Dark Prince!!
   But I can't just make an exception...

Culotte: Your Majesty, haven't you been worrying about a certain problem 
   recently?
   If we were to solve your problem, you could allow us into the libary as a
   reward.

Queen: Very well.
   The castle is haunted by the Dark Knight.  Defeat him and I will grant your
   request.

Prier: The Dark Knight?

Queen: Eclair and I have never seen him, but people say that a knight in black
   armor appears at night.
   My subjects are quite upset. They're saying it's a curse or an evil spell.
   Why, just recently my best cook and gardener quit because they were afraid
   of the ghost.
   Something must be done.


 That Night ---
 Castle Garden

Croix: ...No sign of him yet.
   Hey Culotte, how did you know about the Queen's problem?

Culotte: It was simple.
   I figured that anyone as important as a queen is bound to have a problem
   or two.

Croix: Is that all? You mean you just guessed?
   Hahaha! Good job!

Alouette: Yes, well done, Culotte.
   We owe it all to you.

Culotte: (Sister A-Alouette...)

 *ghostly apperation appears*

Prier: Shhh! Here it comes!
   Wait right there!
   I don't know what you're after here, but it's time to find a new gig.
   Repent!!


 After the dark knight's defeat

Eclair: *Transforms from the dark knight back to Eclair*

Prier: Eclair?!

Croix: What does this mean?!

Alouette: This may be a hidden part of Eclair's personality.
   The darkness in her heart must have grown and grown until it created
   another Eclair.
   And judging from her behavior earlier today, she doesn't even realize it.

Culotte: But if the darkness in her heart was able to create something like
   this...

Alouette: Yes. If something isn't done, she will turn into a demon.

Prier: No...

Alouette: But if we act now...
   If we purify the darkness in her heart now, we may be able to save her.

Prier: How do we purify the darkness in her heart?

Alouette: Everyone, close your eyes and pray to the Goddess...

Prier: You got it.

Alouette: In the name of the Maiden of Light we ask...
   Oh Goddess Poitreene...
   Lead us into the heart of this child who is so burdened by darkness.

 *Party is translocated into Eclair's soul*

Alouette: OK, open your eyes.

Culotte: W-where are we...?

Alouette: In Eclair's heart.

Prier: W-w-w-w-whaaaaaaaat?!?! You've gotta be kidding!!!

Croix: Now this is really something...

Culotte: Sister Alouette!

Alouette: ... I'm OK.
   I'm just a little out of breath.

Croix: I'm not surprised. That was a very powerful miracle.
   That could kill a normal demon hunter.

Culotte: Sister Alouette...
   Don't take any more risks like that!!

Alouette: Thank you, Culotte.
   But you don't have to worry. I'll be fine.
   We must quickly rid eclair of the darkness that has taken her.


 Resigned Heart

Resigned Eclair: Well if it isn't Prier! Hello, Big Sister!

Prier: Eclair...

Resigned Eclair: Don't come naer me!!
   You're going to force me to become queen, right? Come on!! Admit it!!

Prier: Um, Eclair...

Eclair: *transforms back to her normal self*
   Ok... I'll be Queen...
   *transforms back to Resigned again*

Resigned Eclair: Hee hee.
   Just kidding!
   You think I'm that stupid?
   Nya nya nya nya!
   Catch me if you can!
   Hahahahahaha!


  Fleeing Heart

Fleeing Eclair:... I'm not feeling well today. Please leave.

Prier: Wha-?

Fleeing Eclair: I'm not fit to be the Maiden of Light.
   Please leave me alone. *Transforms to another Eclair*

Other Eclair: Tee hee.
   Yeah! Training to become the Maiden of Light is such a pain!
   I'm not gonna do it!
   Hahahahaha!


 True Heart

True Eclair: Big Sister... Why do I have to do so many things I hate?
   I want to be free. Can't I ever be me?
   The things I really don't want to do. Why can't I say I don't want to do
   them?
   I don't want to be the Maiden of Light. I don't want to be Queen.
   Big Sister... What is freedom? What is responsibility?
   *Transforms into the Dark Eclair*

Dark Eclair: Ha ha ha.
   Yes, tell me Big Sister...

Alouette: Everyone's counting on her to be the next Queen and Maiden of Light.
   It must be difficult.

Culotte: That's what grew darkness in her, creating that other Eclair...

Prier: Um, Eclair... The thing is... You should... Just don't worry about it!
   Stop worrying about your status or what other people think. Live life your
   own way!
   Try and chill a little, OK?

Dark Eclair: SHUT UP!!
   What do you know?!
   How could you possibly understand how it feels to be the next Queen?!
   How can you understand what it feels like to have everyone counting on you?!
   ... I wanted you to understand how I felt!
   But that other Eclair, she... She could never say anything like that!!
   She always pretends to be so good and always obeys her mother... Just like
   a puppet!!
   That's why I had to come out!
   Big Sister...
   You like this Eclair better than that other Eclair, right?

Prier: ......

Croix: Look, I don't know what you are, but I can take care of you easily 
   enough. *Points gun at Eclair*

Prier: Croix!!

Croix: We just have to kick her out, right?
   This is the fastest way.

Prier: But she's Eclair, too!
   I don't want her to get hurt any more!

Dark Eclair: Big Sister...

Prier: Please! Go back to your normal self, Eclair!

Dark Eclair: So you like the other Eclair better, too...?
   You like that doll? That doll who does whatever people say?
   I...
   I hate you all!!
   You can all just disappear!!


 Once Dark Eclair is alone

Prier: I don't really want to do this...
   But I have to return Eclair to her normal self! Forgive me!


 Once Dark Eclair is defeated

Queen: So the Dark Knight was Eclair all along...
   ... I'm a failure as a mother.
   I had no idea my daughter was under so much pressure...
   ...I'll let her rest for a while.

Alouette: Yes, that sounds like a good idea.

Prier: Um... Your Majesty?
   Please be kind to Eclair.

Queen: Your name is Prier, isn't it?
   My daughter told me about you.
   She doesn't smile very often, but she always seemed very happy when she
   spoke of you.
   She must be very fond of you.
   Maybe you could convice her to...
   ...No. Please, just continue to be her friend.

Prier: Of course, Your Majesty.

Queen: As I promised, you may enter the royal library.
   Feel free to use it any time you like.

Prier: Thank you!


 Royal Libary

Prier: Any luck over there?

Croix: Nothing. Not even close.

Prier: With all these books, you'd think there'd be something useful!
   *kicks the wall of books*

Croix: W-what's going on?!

Prier: L-look! The bookcase!
   A hidden passageway!
   Scared me shiftless. I never would have thought there was a hidden passage
   here!
   Right, you guys?
   ... What're you all doing over there?!
   Culotte I could understand, but Croix? Why are you clinging to Alouette?!
   Men today are such jerks! Leaving a fragile, vulnerable woman like me alone!
   Imagine!
   (......)
   (What am I getting so upset about?)
   (......)

Croix: W-what's Prier's problem?

Culotte: I think she's upset because she doesn't really understand her own
   feelings.
   Mind's working a little slowly today?

Croix: What? What's that supposed to mean?!

Prier: What's taking you so long?! If you don't hurry up, I'm gonna leave you
   all behind!!


 Hermes's Room

Prier: Hmmm... Is this a dead end?
   What's this thing? It sure is ugly.
   *Punches giant demon zombie*

Demon Zombie: Ouch...
   What do you think you're doing?!
   Humans are you? My my, how unusual.

Prier: W-who are you?

Demon Zombie: Me? I am called Hermes.
   And who are you?

Prier: W-we're from the Church of the Holy Maiden. We're here doing 
   research...

Demon Zombie: The Church of the Holy Maiden? Never heard of it. Are you
   beggars?

Prier: We're Sisters. We serve the Goddess Poitreene and the Maiden of Light.

Demon Zombie: Hmmm... And what are you "sisters" doing here again?

Alouette: We've come to find out about a place called Fatima.

Demon Zombie: I see. Yes, yes...
   Yes, I see... So the time has come at last...
   Which means that you will...
   Hmm... yes... you have your work cut out for you...

Prier: What does that mean?

Demon Zombie: Oh, you'll find out soon enough.
   So you want to know about Fatima, eh?

Prier: Do you know anything about it?
   
Demon Zombie: Of course I do. Don't you know who I am?
   I am the Mediator. I stand between Goddess Poitreene and the fallen angel
   Calamity.
   I know everything in this world. Mostly.

Prier: You're a mediator?

Demon Zombie: You might say I'm a watchman. I keep watch over the balance
   between light and darkness.

Prier: Really?
   But if you're so important, what are you doing here?

Demon Zombie: I'm not sure of that myself...
   It's been hundreds -- no, thousands of years since I came here...
   I've forgotten why...

Prier: You think we can trust this guy?

Culotte: We might as well ask him. We don't have any other leads.

Prier: I guess you're right. Asking won't hurt.
   Will you tell us what you know about Fatima?

Demon Zombie: I'd be glad to. But it'll cost you.

Prier: What?!

Demon Zombie: Of course. What do you expect?
   What kind of fool gives out information for free?
   What's with you people?

Prier: ...So what'll it cost us?

Demon Zombie: I love gems more than anything...
   If you bring me a nice gemstone. I'll be glad to tell you what you want
   to know.

Alouette: A gemstone...?

Croix: Come on! We don't have any gemstones!

Demon Zombie: Figures. I had you pegged for poor people from the moment I saw
   you.
   Wait just a minute...
   Hmmm...
   Aha! I know!!
   I can smell a nice juicy gemstone on Mt. Tarte. Go and get it for me.
   Then I'll tell you about Fatima.

Prier: Are there gems on Mt. Tarte?

Alouette: Could be...?


 Mt. Tarte (onboard airship)

Culotte: Hey! That's Captain Homard's ship!

Prier: They're air pirate, they must have all kinds of loot stashed away.
   I bet the gem Hermes wants is aboard their ship!

Croix: I think you're right. I can't imagine where else it would be.

Prier: All right then! Let's go get all those gems!!!

Culotte: Um, I think they call that robbery...
   And we only need one, remember... Let's try and stay on track here.

Prier: Aha! There it is! That has to be the one!
   It's Huuuuuge....

Culotte: We can't just take it, can we?
   This is... stealing.... Right? Guys?

Alouette: Well, maybe we could just borrow it for a bit without telling them...

Prier: That's the same thing! *smacks Alouette*

Alouette: You didn't have to hit me...

Prier: Wasn't me, was the Goddess. Her punishment. You know?
   Come on, let's make ourselves scarce before they come back!

Culotte: Are you sure we're doing the right thing?

Homard: Hold it right there!!!! *decks Prier*
   You think you can just walk off with other people's things?!

Fairy: Homard! Make them walk the plank!

Crew: Walk the plank! Walk the plank!

Homard: Just a minute... Didn't we meet when we were fighting that giant
   creature?
   Of course! You've decided to follow in my footsteps and become air pirates!!

Prier: N-no we-------!!

Culotte: J-just listen to our story!!

Homard: I see... Fatima, eh?
   OK, OK.

Prier: Hm? On board?

Homard: I'll give you all the inochium jewels you want!
   But in exchange, you'll have to take me with you to Fatima!!
   FatimAlouette: Forgotten land swathed in a veil of mystery!!
   Yes! Yes!! I can see it now!
   A perfect adventure for a real man like myself...!
   Now that we've decided, there's no time to waste.
   Let's get the gem to that Hermes fellow!!

 *Captain Homard and his crew have joined forces with you!*

Prier: Uh... Just a second...
   What just happened here...?

 Hermes Room

Zombie Demon: Ah!! You brought the gemstone, just as I said. Good.
   So, what was it you wanted to know?

Prier: Fatima!

Zombie Demon: Oh yes, that's right!
   I've been so forgetful lately. I wouldn't wish old age on my worst enemy...
   So, what was it you wanted to know?

Prier: Fatima!!

Zombie Demon: I know, I know. I was just kidding.
   All right, here we go. Listen up.
   
   Fatima is a country that existed two hundred years ago, about one thousand 
   miles to the south east of the kingdom of Paprica.
   Civizations at that time were not very advanced and the people were very 
   poor, every year countless people died of starvation and sickness.
   The only thing that supported the people in these hard times was their 
   faith in the gods.
   Humans are funny that way, when times are tough they look to the gods for 
   help.
   But their fath only ended up making things worse...
   People in power and religious leaders did whatever they wanted in the 
   name of the gods.
   they stole offering and lived in the lap of luxary.
   And of course they thought nothing of stealing money and food from the 
   poor.
   If that was the worst thing that happened to you, you could count 
   yoruself lucky.  So you can see just how terrible thigns were of course
   anyone who protested was killed.
   People they didn't like were accused of witchcraft or labed traitors and 
   put on trial.
   And the results of those trials?
   Well I don't think I have to tell you do it?
   Humans can be so very cruel...
   Then on dat Fatima was wiped out just like that,
   It was destroyed in one night.

   ...And that's about it.

Prier: Do you know why Fatima was destroyed in one night?

Zombie Demon: Of course I do. I'm Hermes the Mediator.
   ...Let's just say that the Dark Prince was involved.
   I'll give you that one for free, but I can't tell you any more.
   The Mediator can't go destroying the balance of the universe. Wouldn't
   do at all.
   Wish I could help.
   You'll see the secret of Fatima with your own eyes soon enough.
   Until then, you'll just have to wait and wonder...

Prier: The Dark Prince... In Fatima?
   Then let's get ourselves to Fatima!!

Alouette: Yes...
   Let's go to Fatima.

Homard: That's the stuff!!
   I don't know anything about this Fatima, but there's no place the
   Escargot can't go!!

Prier: Onward! To Fatima!

Zombie Demon: Going to Fatima, are you?
   Just let me give you one piece of advice...
   You never know what life will bring.
   Be true to your own feelings and you'll avoid regrets.
   That's all the guidance I have for you.
   Oh, and young lady...

Prier: Who, me?

Zombie Demon: You seem to have a certain man on your mind... Keep this rule
   in mind for him as well.
   Be true to yourself.

Prier: H-hey, just a minute! What was that?!
   What does that have to do with anything?!
   First of all, I don't have any men on my mind!!
   Hey, what are you all looking at! I'm telling you, there's no man!

Homard: Oh, why must I be so devilishly handsome?!
   So you've fallen for me, eh? Well, you aren't the first...

Prier: Stay out of this, you!!

Croix: Hmm... I didn't think you'd go for his type...

Prier: I told you, it's not him!!
   Oh, never mind!!


 Palace

Queen: I understand.
   As Queen of the Kingdom of Paprica, I officially ask you to explore the
   land of Fatima.
   Is that all right, Father Salade?

Father Salade: Yes, Your Majesty.

Queen: Why don't you stay the night in the castle, in preparation for your
   journey?

Prier: Eclair...


 Garden

Prier: One, Two, Three! One, Two, Three!
   There's nothing better than this for getting your mind off your troubles.
   We leave tomorrow...
   I guess that means we'll be saying goodbye to Paprica for a while...
   Eclair... Will she be all right without me?
   Eclair...

Eclair: So you're leaving tomorrow?

Prier: ...Yes.

Eclair: Be careful... Please come back safe, Big Sister.
