Prologue - Ashe's Story

Ivalice--- a huge world of diverse regions, where wondrous sights collide, and a home to many races…


Humes, Bangaas, Vieras, and of course, Moogles---all call Ivalice home.



Dalmasca--- one of such kingdoms in all of Ivalice- a small but proud country which has been living in peace and harmony long since they regained their freedom from the slavery of the Archadian Empire.



Ashelia B’nargin Dalmasca--- her royal majesty, the great ruler of this said land…



Someone who has suffered tremendous losses during the war, but still fought her way courageously to take back what’s hers and to save her homeland and its people.


And she knew all of her efforts were not in vain, for Dalmasca now lives in happiness.



Part of her, however, still thinks that this is only the beginning. She may not know of the circumstances that might come in her way to once again destroy everything, but she knew there would be no one else who could provoke her from saving her kingdom and its entire people.



As Queen of Dalmasca, that was her foremost duty. But what is it the future has in-store for her? Ashe cannot cease to wonder...




Basch: M’lady, the Marquis, Halim Ondore has an urgent news for you.


Ashe: What is it? Speak.


Basch: An unusual incident has been sighted within the Lhusu Mines. Apparently, someone has broken through--- and no one in the Miner’s Ender could perceive who they may be.



Ashe: Unusual it may seem. Has anybody been hurt?


Basch: I’m afraid so, your majesty. There were 3 unconscious bodies found within the twinspan.


Ashe: If this is some kind of a menacing creature, why wouldn’t the huntsmen take them down?


Basch: A creature it is not M’lady…but Humes rather.


Ashe: Humes? What do they seek for within the mines?


Basch: I am sorry. I know not.


Ashe: Fair enough, please do investigate more about this occurrence.


and hereby notify my Uncle Halim that I would be flying off to Bujherba as soon as things are settled.


Basch: *bows* As you wish, M’lady.


The Knight has left the Throne Room, leaving the Queen Ashelia stunned in silence...figuring out the strange incident at Bujherba. Who are the suspects behind this? And what do they seek inside the Lhusu Mines?



There’s only one way to find out.
