To Heroes and Allies (Cid, Biggs, Wedge, etc.)

[damn_juicebox]

Dear Friends and Allies,

I know we have difficulty collecting and sharing information, given the number and variety of tasks we are faced with. I thought perhaps we might discuss where things stand, as time seems to be running out far more quickly than initially believed in the Sage's vision. What crystals we have available to us, which regions we are protecting, these are all things we should be well aware of, as well as plans for what to do next.

In addition, a few months go I picked up a key fragment from the owner of the Monster Arena. He does not seem to know of any use for this, but if there are other fragments that the rest of you possess, we might be able to complete the key. (It very well may be just junk, but I have yet to see junk offered as a reward for a difficult monster quest.) I do not know what it is for. The Floating Ruins, maybe? Have we attempted to gain access to this place? It may be worth our while if we can figure out how to unlock it.

In any case, if you have anything unusual in your possession that you think might be of some use, I urge you to tell the others. We may be holding important clues in our hands, and simply be unaware.

Sincerely,
Rukia Kuchiki

Dear Rukia;

It is my understanding that there is nothing of interest to be found in these floating ruins. From what I have gathered, the previous Heroes of Light explored the location and some amongst us saw their findings. As mysterious as the location might seem, I fear it holds no secrets any more. Do we really have the time to go on such an adventure, when we have more concrete leads and more urgent needs?

Dear Parasraya,

Which Heroes do you speak of? I have heard nothing of any previous endeavors, and the doors remain sealed. I am not certain they have been explored. In any case, we cannot pursue the matter any further until the last key piece has been discovered.

Until we know for a certainty that there is nothing there that will aid us against the Calamity, we must pursue every possibility. Do not mistake my intentions for thrill-seeking, as I do not see it as an 'adventure,' but a necessity.

As for urgent needs and concrete leads, I am open to suggestions. You are running a psychologist's office, correct?

Dear Rukia;

Those that came before us of course. Not this cycle, but two thousands years ago. And a little over a year ago, some of our friends had the chance given to them to see what our precursors did. They discovered the existence of the cycle and this knowledge was passed onto us.

I would agree with you, if we had any shred of evidence pointing to something else being there. But evidently, there is no such thing.
