=== Vander & Amber === --- C --- [Amber] Hey, Vander. Where do you keep the legendary weapons around here? [Vander] Legendary weapons? What in the world are you talking about, Amber? [Amber] I've always wanted a legendary weapon. [Amber] The Somniel seems to have lots of sacred spots. One of them must have a sword or something... [Vander] I do not waste my time on folklore and fluff. [Amber] Oh. So that's a no? Gotcha. I guess I'll just poke around and see if I find anything. [Vander] Actually...I suppose there is one surefire way to obtain a legendary weapon. [Amber] Really?! What is it? How can I get my hands on one? Please, Vander! You've gotta tell me. [Vander] Think. What is a legendary weapon, essentially? [Amber] Huh? [Vander] For a weapon to become a legend, a legendary hero must wield it first. Right? [Amber] Huh... Yeah, I guess that makes sense. [Vander] Well then, Sir Amber, all you must do is attain the moniker of legendary hero. [Amber] A legendary hero? Me? [Amber] Yeah. Yeah! If I pull that off, my trusty lance... [Vander] It would become a legendary weapon. Correct. [Amber] WHOA-HO-HO-HOOO! [Amber] Vander! You just blew my mind! I'm gonna do exactly that. My legend starts right now! --- B --- [Amber] Hnh... Hah... [Amber] Not done yet... Have to...train more. [Vander] Well, well. How nice to see you working up a sweat at such an early hour, Sir Amber. [Amber] You bet. I've got to grow as strong as I can. [Amber] I have to become a legend, just like you said. Then my lance will be a legendary weapon. [Vander] He took my brush-off seriously? He is either truly devoted...or a fool. [Amber] Hm? You say something? [Vander] I was, um, just wondering why you desire a legendary weapon so badly. [Amber] I grew up in a dull country town. Nothing to do, nothing to see. Stories were my only escape. [Amber] My favorite was about this one hero who used a legendary weapon to defeat a giant monster. [Vander] Hmm... [Amber] I think about that story all the time. I want to be a hero like that...so I need a legendary weapon. [Vander] I see. If you are so dedicated, then...why not train with me? [Amber] Really?! You mean it? I would love that! [Amber] You're so strong and cool-looking. I bet you do all kinds of crazy training. [Vander] Hmph. Just try to keep up. I will not hold back for your sake, "hero." --- A --- [Amber] Urgh... [Vander] Struggling already, hero? These are but core exercises. We have not even begun the sprints. [Amber] Ugh... I'm dyin' here, Vander. Do you always train this hard? [Vander] I do. [Amber] This is unbelievable. I'm barely able to keep up! [Vander] Is this it? What happened to your enthusiasm? I thought you wished to become a legend! [Amber] Oh... I'm too tired to defend myself. Ugh... [Amber] If this is your routine, I'm pretty sure you're already a legend. Can I just have your weapon? [Vander] No! I told you, I have no interest in legendary weapons or being a legend myself. However... [Vander] I see how hard your generation is working to better the world. THAT is the stuff of legends. [Vander] You are dedicated, driven, and show incredible potential. Your own story has just begun. [Vander] Keep reaching for that dream. If you do, your weapon will soon belong to a true legend. [Amber] Aw, Vander. I will! [Amber] My weapon will be legendary, and so will I! Just like the stories I used to read as a kid. [Vander] An admirable goal...and one you will achieve sooner if you stop complaining. Understand? [Amber] Yes, sir. I'll keep training as hard as I can! --- S ---
