In the La Veda Republic, there were people who worshiped the Holy Emperor Karna Masta.From them, a few powerful chosen knights were bestowed with divine articles from the god. They were to carry out his will.
Those chosen knights were known as The Guardians of Meirith.Their duty was not only to carry out the god's will, but to fight for the people. Hence, they were met with reverence from the public.
The Twin Knight Claire was bestowed with the Divine Blaze Lance.
Claire
My power is that of the gods. All demons will perish by my lance!
The Twin Knight Colt was bestowed with the Divine Ice Blade.
Colt
I believe might makes right. Just like my sister.
The Sorcerer Ivris was bestowed with the Divine Staff.
Ivris
I've been looking for a place to test my strength. I won't hold anything back!!
The Warrior Diana was bestowed with the Divine Thunder Saber.
Diana
Flattering me is meaningless....as you'll receive my full might either way.
The Priest Fadahl was bestowed with the Divine Armor.
Fadahl
No matter the situation, I will meditate on it....and clearly envision the best solution.
The Fencer Quaid was bestowed with the Divine Wind Edge.
Quaid
The winds...have changed. How interesting...
Just before the great battle with the Gods was about to begin, an oracle blessed the warriors with its presence.
Fadahl
Demons from the world of Ishgria...? This is troublesome...
Fadahl
...... I see, there's not enough information to speculate as to that, yet...
Quaid
Seeing that look on your face tells me you didn't hear very good news, Fadahl.
Quaid
Well? What did the oracle say?
Fadahl
...... I thought I told you to be here beforehand.
Quaid
Did you? Sorry 'bout that.
Quaid
I would have, but when you're having an oracle read by priests...
Quaid
...all the traditions and rules are such a pain.
Quaid
I'm just not good with stuff like that.
Fadahl
Just because you aren't, doesn't mean I am!
Fadahl
Well, anyway...let's get back to everyone.
Fadahl
I'll explain what I heard when we get there.
Diana
I wonder what it could be about...
Diana
I hope it wasn't anything too bad...
Claire
There's no good or bad in a message from the Holy Emperor.
Claire
You shouldn't say such things, Diana.
Diana
You're right. I apologize.
Diana
But, what if it's something that requires us to take action?
Diana
I'd rather not have that happen.
Claire
That's...a good point.
Colt
No matter what the oracle says...
Colt
...we, as Guardians of Meirith, will fulfill our duties to the fullest extent.
Colt
Isn't that right, Sis?
Ivris
Still love your sister as much as ever? You really do never change, Colt.
Ivris
If only you could get along that well with Quaid as well.
Colt
Wh-What are you saying?!
Colt
What the heck does that guy have to do with anything?
Ivris
What do you think, Claire?
Claire
Wh-Why are you asking me...?
Claire
Colt, I'm aware that you and Quaid have a sense of rivalry between you for some reason.
Claire
That in itself, is not a bad thing.
Claire
But try not to overdo it.
Claire
We are all comrades in the service of Lord Karna Masta.
Claire
And besides, Quaid has times when he proves useful too, doesn't he?
Colt
...... All right, I get it... Um, Sis...
Ivris
It seems you two don't really understand...
Claire
Quaid, Fadahl, what kind of oracle have we been blessed with?
Quaid
Sorry. I arrived too late! Didn't hear a thing.
Colt
Quaid, you little...!
Colt
Do you think the duties of Meirith are a joke?!
Quaid
Ha ha, like I said, I'm sorry.
Fadahl
Getting angry at him won't solve anything.
Fadahl
More importantly, about the oracle...
Diana
...... Oh dear, are you going to tell us it wasn't good news?
Fadahl
It's hard to tell at this point whether it's good or bad, exactly.
Claire
...... Tell us about it.
Fadahl then conveyed what he had heard from the oracle to everyone.
It had provided them with information that the Demon Ragruvord, who lived in the realm of demons known as Ishgria, was planning to invade.As Guardians of Meirith, they were ordered in the name of the Holy Emperor Karna Masta to head to Ishgria and suppress the demonic threat.
Hearing this, the Guardians of Meirith departed immediately and ventured into the unknown realm known as Ishgria...without knowing what lay ahead of them...
