[[Chris Lightfellow]] and [[Nash Latkje|Nash Clovis]] travel to [[Kuput Forest]], hoping to seek out the [[Alma Kinan]] for information on the [[True Water Rune]], the rune borne by Chris' father, [[Wyatt Lightfellow|Wyatt]]. The two are quickly surprised by [[Yuiri]] and [[Yumi]] and brought to the [[Alma Kinan Village]]. | [[File:Franz takes flight.png|220px|thumb|right|Not much scarier than a giant flying insect cavalry.]][[Chris Lightfellow]] and [[Nash Latkje|Nash Clovis]] travel to [[Kuput Forest]], hoping to seek out the [[Alma Kinan]] for information on the [[True Water Rune]], the rune borne by Chris' father, [[Wyatt Lightfellow|Wyatt]].

In the village, they meet [[Yun]], who explains her visions of disaster to come, which are dismissed by Chris. The revelation that the [[Holy Kingdom of Harmonia]] is invading also enrages her. Nash admits he concealed this information in order to draw Chris away from the [[Zexen Knights]], reducing their effectiveness, but wryly notes that [[Salome Harras]] is also taking advantage of this situation. | In the village, they meet [[Yun]], who explains her visions of disaster to come, which are dismissed by Chris.

Back in Chisha, [[Fubar]] and [[Sgt. Joe]] arrive and are relived to find Hugo alive and well. Sgt. Joe brings news that the [[Karaya Clan|Karaya]], [[Lizard Clan|Lizard]], and [[Duck Clan]]s will be participating in the battle also. Caesar and Hugo scout ahead and estimate the Harmonian advance guard to be 2,000 men or so and Caesar begins his plans to hold off this force for half a day until the [[Grassland]] reinforcements can arrive. | Back in Chisha, [[Fubar]] and [[Sgt.

The Le Buque forces are sent out first as cannon-fodder but quickly panic and pull back after a symbol in the shape of the [[True Fire Rune]] is set ablaze in the fields, harkening to the return of the Flame Champion and notions of Grassland independence. The remaining Harmonian force is momentarily slowed by Caesar's traps but quickly threaten to overwhelm the besieged villagers when the arrows of the Alma Kinan buy some respite. | [[File:Alma Kinan come to the rescue.png|220px|thumb|left|Lesbian polycule power!]]The Le Buque forces are sent out first as cannon-fodder but quickly panic and pull back after a symbol in the shape of the [[True Fire Rune]] is set ablaze in the fields, harkening to the return of the Flame Champion and notions of Grassland independence.

The battle now becomes a fierce, pitched conflict, with Hugo, in particular, feeling the pressures of taking life in battle for the first time, reminding him of his encounters with Chris, who is also fighting alongside the Alma Kinan on the other side of the battlefield. Finally, the Grassland forces arrive and the Harmonian advance is forced to withdraw. Afterwards, Sasarai receives a report from Nash on his activities. | The battle now becomes a fierce, pitched conflict, with Hugo, in particular, feeling the pressures of taking life in battle for the first time, reminding him of his encounters with Chris, who is also fighting alongside the Alma Kinan on the other side of the battlefield.
