Rambling: Episode One: Stage Two: Irrigation Channel

Stage Two: Irrigation Channel (One-shot)
Enemies: Water Elemental lvl 1 x2
Guests: Ulfgar (Dwarf) lvl 3

   Another tutorial map, this time trying to save Ulfgar from Water Elementals he managed to irritate by trying to fish in an irrigation canal. Although you cannot possibly reach Ulfgar before the Water Elementals do, Ulfgar instructs you in the mechanics of throwing to help. Simply have Yuki pick up Hana or Flo and Throw them closer to the fray to distract the Elementals from their target. The Elementals are fragile, so you should have no trouble disposing of them.

   However, Ulfgar is still tangled in his fishing rod and line, so Yuki snips off still more of his beard. Ulfgar becomes even madder than before and ticks Hana off.

Rambling: Episode One: Stage One: Field Edge

Stage One: Field Edge (One-shot)
Enemies: Crow lvl 1 x4
Guests: Ulfgar (Dwarf) lvl 3

   This is the first “tutorial” map, in which Ulfgar (the dwarf) yells moving and fighting instructions at you. Follow his directions, galling as it might be, and beat down the weak Crows using physical attacks. As a tutorial battle, there's nothing remotely complicated about it; enjoy the attack animations and move on back to more story.

   After the battle, Hana and Yuki try to wrestle Ulfgar out of the trunk, but cannot get his beard free. So Yuki gets out her scissors and snips the end off, sending Ulfgar into a rage. He storms away, ticking Flo off.

Rambling: Episode One: Snow White and Rose Red: Fields

   While guiding Hana and Yuki to Legend, Flo takes them across some wide fields, where they find a dwarf trapped by his beard in a fallen tree trunk, being attacked by large birds.

Flo

Method of Attack: Heavy-duty kicking and smashing with magic wand
Omega Attack: Happily Ever After

Miss Florence is a new fairy godmother who has just replaced Hana and Yuki’s old godmother, Miss Sacharissa. However, Flo isn’t like most fairy godmothers. She’s a hotheaded, straightforward, bull-stubborn young woman who will as soon kick you as look at you – and she kicks HARD. There’s no helping from the sidelines with this godmother! Flo takes Hana to the city of Legend to become a hero, and she’s going to make sure it happens if she has to kick every other hero out of the Heroes’ Society to do it.

Rambling: Episode One: Snow White and Rose Red: Cottage in the Glen

   Sisters Hana and Yuki Shiraka have reached their fifteenth birthday, and their proud widowed mother teaches them how to summon their fairy godmother. However, their old godmother, Miss Sacharissa, has retired and been replaced by Miss Florence, a young and very unbusinesslike woman.

   Hana asks Miss Florence how to become a hero. Heroes are always male, giving Florence the misimpression that Hana wants to be a man. However, once she gets the idea that Hana wants to become the first FEMALE hero, she decides to take time off to take her to the capitol city, Legend. Yuki wants to come as well, and they leave, despite their mother’s rather bemused protests.
