{KINGDOM OF VALKYRIA - RANSEI REGION} Shadecleaver: "When did this kingdom appear...?" Miner: "Honestly, no idea." Shadecleaver: "However it got here, I'm not staying long enough to find out." ???: "Shadecleaver! There you are!" Shadecleaver: "Hang on...was that...?" Lady Gracia: "It's been a while since we've seen each other back at Nixtorm, huh?" Shadecleaver: "...Gracia? What are you doing here? And what's up with this place's fantasy-like aura?" Lady Gracia: "I'm this place's warlord now, Shadecleaver!" Shadecleaver: "Wait, you're a warlord now? That's...unexpected." Lady Gracia: "Yes, after leaving Nixtorm, I found myself drawn to the mystical energy of Valkyria. I trained with the local warriors and eventually earned their respect, becoming their warlord." Shadecleaver: "Impressive. But what brings you here? Is there some sort of conflict?" Lady Gracia: "Yes, there's trouble brewing in the Ransei region. It seems that other warlords from different kingdoms have been disappearing mysteriously...even my dad. I think something is causing the disappearing warlords, but not the sudden appearance of Fairy-types." Shadecleaver: "Fairy-types? Like...Florges?" Lady Gracia: "Yes, exactly. Fairy-types like Florges have been appearing all throughout the region. They seem to be connected to the disappearances in some way, but I haven't been able to figure out the exact connection yet." Shadecleaver: "That's definitely strange. Do you have any leads or suspects?" Lady Gracia: "Not yet, but I have a feeling that it must be related to that strange red light that I saw before Dad just vanished." Shadecleaver: "Hang on...red light? As in...the SAME light that usually appears during Dynamax?"
