Pulling Strings

And... you're back.

Before I explain what you're to do next, I have a question: How did it feel to fight the Puppeteer?

It was a cinch. Why? Is this a trick question?

Only partially. Francis the Puppeteer is the lowest ranked Black Wing commander, so I'm relieved you were able to defeat him with ease.

But I shouldn't get too cocky because the other commanders will be tougher, right?

Precisely. Black Wing commanders have strange abilities, such as that Shapeshifter you encountered during your training.

Why are they trying to resurrect the Black Mage, anyway?

They are fools who believe the Black Mage will create a world in which they'll possess ultimate power. It is a shame to see such capable beings waste their talent on false promises. I will not rest until each and every one of them are eliminated.

(Note to self, never get on Neinheart's bad side.) I get it. We have to stop them.

Yes, [Name], but our enemies are strong. If they weren't, they would not have already managed to conquer an entire continent.

Edelstein, the land of machines and minerals, is under their command.

Speak to me again when you are ready for the details.
