Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Beyond Fate

Growing Threat, Centuries Old Legend

???

Consul's N, M and Squire S have just enter the theater like area, where the huge screen and portions of the area is still dark. Neither of them sit as Squire S leans against a wall while Consul's N and M just stand.

Consul M:" Why do you think Z called us out of nowhere?"
Squire S:" Can't say I know. I don't think he's ever called a meeting out of nowhere since... I think after I woke up back then."
Consul N:" It was when the first Squire of Ouroboros was here, when he fought alongside the first Ouroboros users. That was a long time ago."
Consul M:" The one who foretold the arrival of "The Man of Fate"."
Squire S:" Hmph... Why are we talking about that guy?"
Consul N:" Just making conversation, S. Isn't that right, my dear?"
Consul M:" Right."
Squire S:" I swear, if you two start flirting..."
Consul D:" Come on, S! Let the two lovebirds have their fun!"

From the corner, Consul D, Consul J, Squire Q and Squire G walk in. Squire S let's out a sigh as he turns to face them.

Squire S:" Every chance they get, they start to flirt. Makes me feel like a third wheel every time."
Squire Q:" Come on, that's just love, man! Let them flirt as much as they want."
Consul D:" Especially since they have eternity together."
Consul M:" Can we change the subject? Like as to why we're here?"
Consul J:" Same as you, M. We were called here by Z."
Consul N:" Actually, why are you with them, Squire G?"

Squire G begins to speak in his language but only the Squires could understand him. The Consuls looked confused while Squires S and Q just sigh.

Squire Q:" G, your device..."
Squire G:"...Better?"
Consul D:" Yes, much better. Now I can understand whatever crap your spouting out."
Squire G:" I was with them to try and be able to get an better understanding of Sora."
Consul N:" Sora?"

Hearing Sora's name seems to have brought a soft smile onto Consul N's face. Same for Consul M as she's now paying more attention to Squire G.

Squire Q:" *Whisper* You notice how their mood changes whenever Sora is brought up?"
Squire S:" *Whisper* Yep... Pisses me off but can't do anything about it."
Squire Q:" *Whisper* What are they, Sora fanatics?"
Squire S:" *Whisper* Pretty much."
???:" Do tell me, my fellow Squires. Why show so much interest for a mortal man?"

Everyone turns to see Consul X, Consul Y and their Squire walk in. Though the two Consuls look at everyone, they are quiet.

Squire Q:" Because he is interesting, R. Trust me, he's worth the interest."
Squire R:" Hm... Why? For the fact he is the Squire of our enemy? Or for the fact he is "The Man of Fate"?"
Consul N:" The reason for our interest does not concern you, Squire."
Squire R:" You would dare speak to a god like this?"
Squire S:" Tone it down, R. And besides, when you look like that, do you think you have any right to talk down on mortals?"
Squire R:" With yours and G's help, I look like this now. For that, I thank you but do hold your tongue. There's only so much I can tolerate hearing from a mortal mouths."
Consul X:" He's just upset he hasn't been getting any attention, lately."
Consul Y:"..."
Consul D:" Why's he silent?"
Consul X:" Don't know. He just refuses to talk right now."
Squire G:" Where are my Consul's?"
Consul P:" Right here."

Consul P and Consul O walk in and stand next to Squire G.

Consul O:" How has your "experimenting" been, my Squire?"
Squire G:" It has been... beyond my expectations. Sora is far more interesting then I thought."
Squire S:" How so?"
Squire G:" Sora himself... is far more powerful then we initially thou-"
