Part 75: The Rift Part One: Fire Support.

Part 26: The Rift Part One: Fire Support.


I am ready to suggest hitting the rift, but before I even offer it, it is clear he remembers what I suggested we might do from the previous day.
”I want to look for crystal.”
Well okay then. We'll do just that.


I tell him it is the tower that sunk so long ago. I don’t THINK he remembers.


”What happen here?”


”Not fighting them?”


I explain we have to hurry because we are holding our breath.


“We found it!”


”What that song?”
“The song for Gogo! He is a mimic!”
I explain we have to copy everything he does. He nods that he understands.
Then we wait.


Then we win.


We get mime! See if he wants to use it.


“So do you want to make someone a mime?”
”No, keep him that magician.”
“Should we change anyone?


”No. I want to change top magician.”
The cat? Surprising. I go through them until he settles.


“This one?”
”Yeah!”
“So a black mage.”
”No, Blue Mage!”
I guess the Black Mage robes are Blue. It isn’t the first time he’s made this assertion.


I hit Mirage one last time to get the last Black and Time magic and a third Hermes Sandal pair. I explain that about all that remains is to go to the rift.

”Look for Ecks-deff.”
I park here, tell him we’ll be going in next time we play.
”Ecks-deff stopped the water?”
I check the menu secret.
”They’re our mages?”
“That’s them.”

We go toward the rift and the Void yawns wide.


“Where we going to? Ecks-deff’s hit? What that sound?”
“The void sound.”
”That the void sound?”
“She’s wondering the same thing!” I point to Krile.


”And we’re looking for Ecks-deff?”


“We are in the void! The rift!”


”Fight him. We at the beach?”
“Well, this is the dese- wait, no. There IS water. Yeah. This -is- the beach.’”


We try out Flare, but he likes Firaga better for reasons.


”They’re Ecks-deff’s monsters! It’s Ecks-deffs’ monsters! Why Ecks-deffs’ monsters come? There?”
“They’re going to try to stop us!”


”I want to look for Ecks-deffs’ monsters.”


The random fights go okay. Krile gets downed twice which is annoying- she is the person with the raise spell.


“Fire on them!”
He squeezes his little dragon at them. He’s helping!


{Pictured: Our Fifth Magician}
“Did he do that?”
”He make fireballs! Dragon make fireballs!”

”Where Ecks-deff’s monsters?”


”Why we come here?”
“Because we’ve been here before right? This town is in the void so everything is frozen”
”Why?”
“It got put there a long time ago.”
”Ecks-deff needs all the people in the void?”
“He does. That’s his plan.”
”Look for ex deaths’ monsters”


“We’re in a forest now.”


”See dragon do that. Fire did that.”
“He did!”
”Pet the dragon!” I do. He presses the dragon against me, ”Fire hugs!”



”Why they back?”
“Bad wizards.” I beat them with Syldra, not using Firaga at all. After the end he observes-
”the dragon not did anything”


We remedy that.


”Go in that hole.”


”That one of Ecks-deffs’ bad guys?”


”She has a bubble! She has a hard bubble.”
Calistofieri is still a total joke. With Mighty Guard she gets off one double-digit drain. None of her olds land.


The dragon helps.


I ask him if I should use Syldra, Leviathan or Bahamut. He says ”Bahamut” Then adds-
”Because he’s like the Hamut”
Well okay.


”Bubble gone.”
“We won!”


”What these guys?”
“Good question. Uh, petrifires?”
”We has to fight them.”
“Well okay.”
”They’re bad guys” he explains why.


He squeezes the dragon at them.
I leave the victory theme on for a bit while writing notes. When I stop he wants to know why the victory music stopped.


”Go down that waterfall.”
“Well, we shoul- oh sure.” I backtrack to the coral ring before saving, but before we do…


”That a bad guy? He looking for us?”
“He’s looking for us but we don’t want to fight him. He’s -tough-.”

I go back and save. The party is still the same of course. Krile.. got black magic level 4? It's good. We take a break for now as we are getting toward home anyway.

Next time, deeper into the rift!
