Party: Cecil lv.18, Palom lv.10, Porom lv.10
Window Color: Purple

Okay so we head to what I think is called Mt-Ordeals. I'm going to call it that anyways. We do some battling because the mountain is a little ways off and the twins are at low levels. So we get there and Palom blizzards the fire blocking the mountain entrance (why do all the mountains in this game have some sort of element blocking them?) and we can go on our way.

We do some fights and some climbing (Cecil doing little damage against the Zombie monsters) and we run into Tellah! He is here seeking the spell meteor to defeat Golbez and avenge his daughter, Anna. Cecil explains what he's doing and Tellah decides to accompany us. During the conversation, Palom basically blurts out that they're spying on me and Porom hits him. They express concern over the great sage Tellah because he's too old to be casting meteor. He doesn't care. So we continue up the mountain.

Tellah joins party: Lv. 22.

We see a 'meanwhile' scene of Golbez, Kain, and Rosa. Golbez summons Scarmiglione, some Earth dude, and tells him to go kill Cecil because Cecil is en route to becoming a Paladin. Rosa is all tied up and struggling. Kain objects and says he should be the one to go slay Cecil and Golbez says Kain is lucky he even let him live.

So up the mountain we head and SURPRISE we are encountered by Scarmiglione.

Boss Fight: Scarmiglione, Zombies.

So since Cecil sucks against Zombies, I use him to attack Scarmiglione. Porom heals, and I use bluff with Palom 4-5 times, which is a magic increase. I use tellah to cast fire/fira on the Zombies and/or heal, depending on what's needed. After Palom beefs up a bit, I cast Fira and it does ~2000 damage, defeating all of the Zombies. A few more hits and Scarmiglione goes down too.

So he dies and we continue on our way (about 3 steps) before Scarmiglione reappears and calls me names and tells me his true power lies in death. Soooo

Boss Fight: Stronger, weirder looking Scarmiglione.

Basically Cecil attacks, Porom heals, Tellah heals and casts Fire/Fira and Palom bluffs a few times before also casting Fira. The fight is easier than the last one and he goes down.

He ends up falling off the bridge and to his death, much to his disbelief. So we go in front of this weird tomb looking thing and things get all yellow and wavy and we go inside. This weird light calls Cecil "son" and tells him he's been waiting for him. He gives Cecil a new sword and Cecil has become a Paladin!!! (He looks less cool but has more HP and can use White Magic now). But before he can become a true Paladin, he needs to defeat his darkness.

Boss Fight: Dark Knight Cecil.

I first try attack and am told not to do that. So I defend and heal and eventually Dark Knight Cecil disappears and I become a true Paladin. Tellah also learns Meteor and remembers all of his spells, which is pretty cool. So we head back down all the way to Mysidia.

We get there and everyone is basically in disbelief of Cecil being a Paladin. He goes to speak to the elder and apparently I have a sword with a legend of a man who will be a savior or something along those lines. I dunno, all legends are basically the same. Tellah also speaks to the elder and says he doesn't care about himself or the world, he just wants to avenge Anna. The Elder gives me access to some road that will lead me to Baron. Palom and Porom ask to join me, after confessing their spying ways, and everyone agrees and so we head out to get back to Baron and stop the evil Golbez!
