1.8 Damcyan Castle
------------------------

From the exit of the Water Cavern, head north. You’ll be thrust into a scene. The Red Wings fleet bombs Damcyan, and suspenseful music starts playing. Enter Damcyan Castle, to see what the hell just happened here.

At the entrance, head north, ignoring the dead bodies of various guards... Go up the stairs, and on the second floor, open the one remaining chest to obtain a Tent. Head on up to the third floor. As you head up, you’ll shockingly discover the body of Tellah’s daughter, Anna, on the floor. Tellah, who rushes over to see her, sees the ‘bard’ nearby.

Prepare to hear one of the most hilarious, well-known one-liners in video game history.

Tellah engages battle with the bard (in an uncontrollable battle), enraged at thinking Anna’s death is his fault. The bard pleads for him to stop (because, like a Kaipo NPC said, he is a sissy), but after awhile, the voice of Anna brings Tellah back to his senses.

The whole crew rushes over to Anna’s body (which is barely alive), and Anna reveals that the ‘spoony bard’ is really Edward Chris von Muir, the prince of Damcyan. Anna apologizes for running away with him, saying that she still loves him, and couldn’t find happiness otherwise. She says they were going to return before the Red Wings attacked. (Such bad timing.)

Edward also reveals that a powerful sorcerer named Golbez was acting as captain of the Red Wings, and that he was collecting even more crystals like Cecil was before, seizing the Fire Crystal in Damcyan. He also says that Anna shielded him from the enemy arrows, sacrificing herself to save him.

Anna passes away, and Tellah goes into a rage, swearing death on Golbez. Edward cries, but Tellah tells him to shut up, and that crying won’t bring her back, and then he leaves the party. (No more cool spells...)

Unable to control his emotions, Edward starts crying over Anna, and Rydia tells him that even though she lost her mother, she won’t cry anymore. Cecil and Rydia help Edward on his feet, and he joins them on their task of retrieving the Sand Ruby, as only the royalty of Damcyan can enter the Antlion’s lair.

Well, enough of this semi-story summary. After that little scene is over, the party has access to the Hovercraft. This vehicle can go over the rocks that dot the ocean near Damcyan. You can use them to get back to Kaipo and rest and stock up on items, without going through that really annoying cave again. Of course, on the top floor of Damcyan Castle there are two pots, that when checked, restore your HP or MP.

Other than that, there isn’t much to do here anymore, so its on to that Antlion Lair we’ve wanted to go to for the entire past hour.
