More fighting. When we reach the end of this section, Roselia shows up to fight us. She calls herself the last of the True Ancestors, whatever that means! I managed to hold out long enough to get the bonus AP, and now Roselia doesn't look like a little girl anymore! Apparently that was her original form before she divided her power to create familiars. She can basically just activate her true form in short bursts like Rean can. I'm kinda hoping this part doesn't last too long because I'm itching to get the plot rolling!
Oh good, thankfully they just skip ahead and they do all the training offscreen! Also in the area of things to be thankful for is that my wife wasn't paying attention when Roselia was groping Juna. Old Class VII contacts us with info that they may be close to pinpointing the location of the Black Workshop, which Roselia says they haven't been able to find in the 800 years since they split off from the Gnomes. Speaking of which, one of the shop owners says that the witches and Gnomes created the Divine Knights together in order to prevent another Great Calamity.
Anyway, the plan is to use singularities in the Spirit Veins to locate the Black Workshop, almost sort of like sonar. As I wander around the village getting the final things needed to take off, I notice we're all level 50 now, so that's nice! I've gotta say, I'm digging the new battle music, and the forest theme is pretty solid, too.
When we arrive back in the "real world," we're near Saint-Arkh, and New Class VII talk about how their first field exercises were here a mere four months ago. Wow, is that all the time that CS3 covered? Felt like a lot more! By the way, does anyone else rotate through all the party members when fishing and almost make it a "competition" to see which character sets the most records for biggest fish?
Anyway, once we get out of the forest, Altina senses that the higher elements are still in play, although to a lesser extent. Seems to be a side effect of the Great Twilight. Anyway, I made it into Saint-Arkh proper, and that's where I'm stopping for the night.
