| Hero: | Hey! Guys! wait up! Aaaah! |
| Elliott: | Shh! Be quiet! The elder will find us here and he'll be mad! |
| Timothy: | Yeah. We're not supposed to be here. There's a ghost around! |
| Elliott: | Ha! Do you really believe that? People say that to scare us! |
| Timothy: | But I heard Grandma say something about a shiny object near the falls. |
| Elliott: | That must be some kind of treasure! We have to find it! |
| Elliott and Timothy walk away, Hero falls down the waterfall. |
| Hero: | Help! I'm falling! Aaahhhhhhhhhh! |
| Elliott and Timothy rush back to the village. |
| After falling down. |
| Hero: | Ouch! Phew..! No way to get back up! Now what am I going to do? |
| Hero hears a strange voice. |
| Voice: | ..Hero.... |
| ....Hero.... |
| Hero: | ?? |
| Hero passes some undergrowth. |
| Hero: | The village is this way. I have to find something to cut through! |
| Hero finds the mana sword. |
| Voice: | ....Hero....Remove the sword |
| Hero: | Who are you...And what's this sword doing here? |
| Hero pulls the sword out of the stone. |
| Hero: | Urrrrrrrgh! Huh!? |
| Hero: | Ow! That light... so bright that I can't see... Ahhhhh! A g...g...ghost! |
| A ghost appears. |
| Ghost: | ......Hero.....It is I who asked...the sword... |
| Hero: | !? Say what? You mean this sword?.. |
| Message: The brilliant light is gone in an instant. |
| Hero: | I have to get back! |
| Hero returns to Potos. |
| Elder: | Hero! You're not hurt! The just told me what happened. |
| Elliott: | I thought you were a goner! |
| Timothy: | I told it was stupid to bring someone like HIM along! |
| Elder: | You idiots! Weren't you told not to go there? |
| The elder sees the Mana Sword. |
| Elder: | Huh? Hero! |
| What's that you have? |
| ...Oh, no! It couldn't be! |
| Elliott: | Cool! Did you find the treasure? |
| Timothy: | Way to go! |
| Elder: | What have you done?! How could YOU have pulled out the Mana Sword? It's impossible! |
| Timothy: | THE Mana Sword? Legend has it that our village is finished... |
| Elder: | If the sword is removed. And here it is! It is said that the Mana Sword has been protecting our village from disaster. |
| Eliott: | So that's it! That's why all the monsters are attacking us now! |
| How could an outsider like you yank the sword and bring doom to us all!! |
| Elliott starts hitting Hero. |
| Hero: | Hey! Stop it! |
| Elliott: | YOU did it! |
| Elliott: | It's your fault! |
| Elliott: | You! |
| Hero: | Please, stop! |
| An earthquake occurs. |
| Message: | Waaah! Earthquake!.. |
| A hole appears. Hero and Elliott fall down. |
| Message: | Aaaah! |
| They see a monster. |
| Elliott: | Help! A m...monster! You have a sword, don't you? Use it! |
| Man: | Hey! Can you hear me? Watch how the monster moves before attacking! |
| Hero starts fighting the monster, Elliott lies in a corner. |
| After the monster is defeated. |
| Message: | Way to go! |
| Message: | Got Sword's Orb! |
| Man: | You did it! Wait there, I'll pull you up. |
| The man pulls Hero and Elliott up. |
| Elliott: | Waaaaaah!!! |
| He runs away. Hero stands in front of the man. |
| Man: | That appears to be the real Mana Sword. |
| Hero: | Huh? What? |
| Man: | It is supposed to be pulled out by a knight in times of great trouble. Problem is, you're too young! Something must have happened to the Mana Sword. |
| Hero: | Here! It's yours! |
| Man: | Sorry, but the sword is losing its power, and must be re-energized! Only the person who pulled it free can do that. |
| Hero: | What should I do? |
| Man: | Visit Sage Luka in the Water Palace. She's been protecting these lands for over 200 years. Listen to her advice. |
| Timothy comes closer. |
| Timothy: | Hero! The Elder wants you in his house! |
| Man: | Well, I have to be off. Oh, my name is Jema. |
| Jema: | I'll wait for you inside the Water Palace! |
| He walks away. |
| |
| Villager: | Elder! We can't go on like this! |
| Villager: | Yeah! There's no relief in sight. |
| Elder sees that Hero has entered the room. |
| Elder: | ... Oh, Hero! |
| Elder: | You've really done it to me this time! The reason why monsters have appeared is because you removed the sword. |
| Villager: | It's settled. We can't let Hero stay in the village anymore! |
| Villager: | If we do, more monsters will come after him! |
| Villagers: | Go! |
| Get out of here! |
| Yeah, on your way now! |
| Elder: | I don't want to do this, but I have no choice. I'm going to have to ask you to leave the village. You can take what's in the treasure chest downstairs. |
| Hero goes downstairs and takes 50 GP which is inside the chest. When he goes upstairs again, the villagers are gone. |
| Elder: | I took you and I raised you. But there's nothing I can do to help. Please forgive me. I know I've told you this before, but... |
| Your mother brought you to this village when you were just a baby. Soon afterwards, she disappeared... |
| I took you and have done my best to raise you. But now we must part. I truly hope you can find your mother someday. |
| ... |
| Good bye, Hero. |
| |
| Hero leaves Potos. |
| Man at the exit: | Have everything you need? |
| You are hereby banished from Potos village. Now get out of here! |
