Can I have this dance? |
While on a Journey, Knight came across a theater.
There seems to be trouble, since there's a lot of noise coming from inside.Girl's Voice: What?! Are you telling me that I'm fired?!
Man's Voice: No, Cortina. That's not what I'm saying. It's just thast since you're one of the Rune Knights, it's disrespectful for me to put you up on the stage.
[Knight]: (Knight? Is that girl a Knight?)
Cortina: I'm a dancer, not a Knight! Look at me! See? I can do turns and raise my legs high. You're making a big mistake. You wouldn't want to see a good dancer like me leave. Please, let me get on the stage. Dancing is my life. Please...
Leader: You can cry all you want, but I still can't let you get on the stage. The audience wouldn't feel comfortable watching a Rune Knight dance on stage. I'm sorry, but I can't let you stay. Now, get out!
Cortina: Ouch! What are you doing you pervert! Nobody wants to work in a theater like this anyway. You'll see, someday I'll become a big star and you'll be begging me to dance here! Remember that!
[Knight]: Are you all right?
[Knight] gave her a handkerchief to wipe her tears with.
Cortina: Oh... Thank you, but I'm just pretending.
[Knight]: Pretending?
Cortina: Uh-huh. Did I fool you, too? A dancer must be able to act well, you know. You must have overheard the conversation. I don't know why, but I've got this Mana Power or something. I never told anbyone about it because I don't care. I would rather be dancing that fight in a battle. When I finally mentioned it, everybody was shocked and people started ro treat me differently. They even call me "Miss Cortina" now, though I'm still the same person inside... Well, now I don't have a place to stay for the night.
[Knight]: Miss Cortina... why don't you come to my country and work as a Knight?
Cortina: What?! Are you a Knight? You sure are dressed like one.
Knight talks Cortina into using her ability as a Knight to restore peace in Forsena.
Cortina: What..? This is... Too sudden. A Knight? I don't know, but I know there is less work for a dancer like me during war... I don't have any particular place to go... OK! I'll do it! The sooner we have peace back, the sooner I can start dancing again. If I think about it, "The dancer who saved Forsena" isn't that bad a catch phrase for my future. But please promise me when the war is over, you'll let me go back to being a dancer again. Of course, I will do all I can as a Knight, but that's not what I want to be for the rest of my liafe. My goal is to become the No. 1 dancer in Forsena.
Cortina has joined.
CORTINA
Starts as: LVL 1 Enchantress Has battle quips with: Zemeckis Wounded Line: "I"ll never forgive you if I can't dance again." [Might be a little off...] Notes: Cortina is another Quest Knight I typically get early in the game. While I usually don't prefer using level 1 characters, she has a beginning Rune Power of 199 and MP of 355!
