Hold up. An elf who doesn't believe in dragons? There's obviously something wrong with that...

Script[]
Sarda | You must now travel to the Isles of Cardia. |
Red Mage | Wait, wait, wait. Hold the phone. |
Sarda | Radio. |
Red Mage | Whatever. Cardia is a den of dragons. |
Thief | Bah. |
Thief | I don't believe in dragons. They're nothing more than the externalization of society's fears. These phantoms are nothing but a way for unjust rulers to turn a population against its own interests. To convince them their safety against nonexistent threats is a greater concern than their liberty. It works in Elf Land. |
Black Mage | But you've seen dragons. One made out of fire ate Red Mage. |
Thief | Yeah, other than the real ones, I don't believe in dragons. |
Red Mage | Still, Black Mage raises an excellent point. We're edible. That's pretty rotten motivation for us to go there. |
Sarda | I could say it's your destiny. That the fate of the world is written with your every deed. Or I could inform you that the ship is on autopilot and I'll fill your lungs with taffy if you mess with it. |
Thief | Well, if you're going to put it that way. |
Red Mage | He has a way with words. |
Black Mage | I always wanted to die in Cardia. |
Fighter | (staring at a shiny red button, with AUTOPILOT SHUT OFF VALVE (button)) You know what I heard? Free taffy! |
