We see when Jowy came to rescue Riou from the Mercenary Fortress.

We come out of our vision and proceed further in the shrine. The woman appears again and Jowy asks who she is.

For anyone not familiar with the series, the True Runes are a really big deal.

The Rune of Beginning is apparently also the True Rune that basically created the world, so this is pretty huge. True Runes bring great power, but almost always have some kind of curse with them. Suikoden IV isn't the best in the series, but I quite liked the curse of the True Rune in that game.

Anyways, so she asks if we desire power.

So that's a yes.

So we head over to the end of the caves, Jowy going to the one on the right and Riou to the one on the left.

We hold up our right arms and this happens:

With that done, we head back to Leknaat.

Once all of that is over, we exit and everyone makes sure we are okay. Then it is time to head to Muse!

Nanami tries her luck with the guard but it leads to much name calling, including brat and insults about her nose, and Nanami threatens to beat him up and we have to drag her away. They say shouting at the guard won't do any good so we have to find another way.

We leave muse and head to the Inn not too far away. In there we meet a nice woman who offers us a room.



As we are being guided to the room, a man comes barging in.

Hilda is obviously a bit concerned.

343.png344.png

Well he fusses and grumbles and says he can't go by himself, so he will recruit people from Muse to help him. We get to go to sleep.

There's an... interesting scene in the morning. Nanami wakes up and Pilika is already up. Nanami pushes Riou out of his bed by climbing in it and wakes him up. Then Nanami comments that Jowy is oversleeping. So Pilika disappears in to his bed and he eventually wakes up.

When we go back downstairs Hilda thanks us and we thank her and go to leave. But Alex comes rushing back in, complaining that people from Muse would not only refuse to help him, but call him a liar.

It does indeedly. He comments that you can't get in to town now without one. Nanami asks him if we can borrow it.

346.png347.png

We do need the permit.

Pilika is told by Alex to stay behind and play with his and Hilda's son. Hilda expresses her concern for us before we head out.

That's all for today! I hope you enjoyed it
