Happy to see Ai potentially summonable, I sometimes wish you'd have a ""catalogue"" of sorts on the various heroes you've created.
Its interesting to read the various dialogue.

I do have a list of every unit you've summoned, as well as all their scripted conversations for things like upgrades, level ups, and reaching the level cap (For now) of 40.

Also Ai has always been in the summon list, she was added at the same time as Monie. (Along with a lot of other starting units, mainly from 3600s Nuzarian Isles.)

[アイミ 23]

Is there anyone you're excited about maybe summoning? Especially since you have heard of a lot of these characters before from here and my other RPG.

[Red31299 67]

Well I see Vimi, that one woman, and Ai for sure.

You're probably going to hear a lot about some of these characters in the other RPG. Especially Reo, Nistrata, and the rest of the characters still alive in the world you're playing through.

Chapter 3:

【Main Story:】
【Tempest 1: World of Windsworn】
【Trial 1: Unsuspecting Encounters and Enemies (1)】

After defeating the first group of foes you encountered on this island, you and your group finally get to sit down and rest. You can see the daily activities of the people who live here resume. And then moments later you hear the ringing chello in your mind as it fades to black. You enter the store for the souls of your allies, noticing a small builletin board hung up in here. On it you see two new sets of four units on two posters. On these posters are free summon tickets which you grab and claim. For the banner titled New Heroes, you whisper into the ticket. "Blue". And on the To Futures Untold banner, you grab the ticket and whisper into it, calling out "Red". After using the tickets nothing immediately happens, so you continue shopping, grabbing the revives for Linasi and Hira, then buying a new weapon for Mare-Nave (90%), and Heal for Linasi. 

"A worthy gift for someone of my status. Thank you." - Mare-Nave (90%)
"Thank you! I'll have to repay you later." - Linasi

You then open your eyes to the bright daylight of the Tempest. As you stand up, two crackle sounds emerge from ahead of you. Then suddenly two streaks of bright light emerge, blinding you in a sea of gold photons. Two figures stand backlit within it. One of them a taller young woman carrying a long spear, the other a woman carrying a small tablet. 

The younger looking figure walks out of the light, showing off her bright blonde hair. On her head is a navy blue breton cap that's tilted to her right a little. On the front is a golden sigil of a stork with a bag over its wings. As you look down past her face, beaming with a smile and bright green eyes, you come upon her uniform. She has a dark navy shirt with that same sigil on its right breast, over her right shoulder is a dark brown bag with rolled up papers poking out of it. The sleeve of her left arm has three gold stipes on it, and on her left arm is a dark brown bracer. She has black trousers and boots on, lined with gold accents.

"Ahoy! Delivery for you, done by Cassandra, Courier Champion. Here ya go! The gift's me if you couldn't tell!" Cassandra says smiling enthusiastically as she gives a small salute to you. She then walks over towards your side, allowing the second figure to emerge. 

The second figure walks slowly towards you. As you look up she's wearing light blue jeans, and a light orange-brown sweater. Over it is a long white labcoat that reaches down to her mid femur. On the top of her head is a set of compact and thin silver and black heaphones, the left ear of these headphones is missing, and on the right a long microphone goes down to near her chin. In her left hand is a small tablet and in her right a small black SMG. 

"We at Rakura like to set ourselves resolutions, upholding ourselves to higher standards than the previous years. This year is no exception, normally I'd love to have a bit of fun as the year comes to a close, but this time I have special work to get done." Es says calmly as she joins your side. 

「Gained:」
Cassandra: Champion Courier (Lance Cavalry)
Es: Rakura Reborn (Red Tome/Grey SMG Armoured)

You, now having gained two new companions all sit down and rest in the town of Galeea. Eventually night falls, the last embers of the campfires dies out, and the streets slowly empty. During this time you walk over to the deity statue and open up the small chest near it that you saw earlier that day. Inside is a potty pad and 20 gold coins. After claiming a few extra rewards you hear noises coming from your right. People are talking and there are many footsteps that you can hear. 

"Don't let her get away. This is the one piece to our puzzle that cannot be ignored. If we can't get her relic then our entire mission is compromised and this continent is as good as gone." One of the voices shouts in a deep and barking voice. The others reply and begin spreading out into tons of different directions. You gather your party and run off towards the point of origin of these voices. Eventually you come across a small square between four buildings. There's only four ways in and out from the ground, through the arches joining the buildings to the rest of the streets. In the center of this square is a small fountain, atop which is a small child sitting. The child looks to be about 11. She has orange wings, long white hair, and a cloth wrapped around her head in an almost durag style. The cloth is a cloudy grey, contrasting her bright wings and warm coloured clothes. 

"Ah, hello there. Outrealmers. It appears like we have been met due to the whims of fate itself. So, in that case, I can help you out and you help me. If you can allow me some time, I can show you something pretty good when you visit me again. I'd recommend taking this deal, because you're gonna need my help against these guys. Oh, and here they come. My name's Feathi by the way. Nice to meet you, and thank you for helping me out here!" The child says to you before floating upwards a bit higher than the fountain. The wings on her back unmoving. 

You then hear tons of footsteps enclosing around you. Into the square appear six foes, split into four groups.

From the North arch: 
- A Sword Fighter and a Bow Fighter

From the South arch:
- A Lance Cavalier

From the West arch:
- A Grey Thief

From the East arch:
- A Red Mage and a Green SMG Scout

Objective:

Defeat all foes remaining after turn 5.

[Red31299 67]

Okay, so the north and south arches are by far the most dangerous to her...

Field:
Es
Mare-Nave 
Linasi
Monie
Cassandra

Have Mare-Nave and Cassandra attack the north arch while everyone else holds position with Feathi

The chest earlier mentioned "other goodies", what else was in there?

Anything else you're planning on doing? Like maybe equipping the Usarana Harpoon?

(Remember it is a 10 Durability weapon though.)

It'd be faster to take out the bow with it so yes sure.

Cool. Got it. Anything else you'd like to do? You notice Monie has her right hand over her crotch, not holding it super tightly. And Mare-Nave (90%) is also in a similar position.

He notices the rising needs among his allies, but chooses to stay silent about it until less enemies are around

「Preparing to Advance: Trial 2, Tempest 1: World of Windsworn」

"Heya! Heya! It's such an honor to join you all. We postpeople get overlooked in battle a lot due to our goal to deliver news to and from the battle. But rest assured, I am no ordinary postwoman. You'd best believe that I'm here to strike down some people. They won't see it coming with me. Just like my teacher used to say, 'make every battle like one against a one-legged person in a butt-whooping competition'!" Cassandra says picking up her Bronze Lance as she gets atop her chestnut brown horse. 

"Is it required that you always shout?" Es says coldly as she tilts her head towards Cassandra. 

"Of course. Ain't that right Peanut? I'm always like this, aren't I?" Cassandra says stroking her horse's mane. 

"I personally find the excitement our new Courier Champion brings to be quite enjoyable." Mare-Nave (90%) says as she too readies her lance. She looks up towards Feathi (10%), and Feathi waves back as she flies around through the air, creating small figure eights. 

Monie closes a small book, twirling her ballpoint pen back into her bag. "Ai, you'll join me soon in this hell. Right? Promise me that." She says softly to herself, adjusting a small ring on her finger. She then picks up her dragonstone, looking up towards the roofless sky. 

"Ready guys. They'll be attacking at any moment. So let's show them all what we can do! For the Couriers! Wait, I can't yell that as we charge into battle. I should probably come up with something else to say then." Cassandra says from atop her mount.

[アイミ 23]

Hello everyone. Sorry for going on hiatus again. But I'm back now. 

[Red31299 67]

Good to see you back!

Chapter 3.1:

【Main Story:】
【Tempest 1: World of Windsworn】
【Trial 2: Unsuspecting Encounters and Enemies (1)】

After your allies prepare for battle, you look at the enemies surrounding you. They draw their weapons, with most of their ranged ones looking at the child. She grabs the back of her cloth, flicking it off her head. The cloudy cloth then twirls and wraps around her arm as she flies forwards towards the West Arch. The two units of your team that you ordered to attack rush forwards as soon as the young deity moves. 

「VS Sword Fighter and Bow Fighter」
「Turn Order:」
Cassandra: Champion Courier (Level 1)
Bow Fighter: (Level 4)
Sword Fighter (Level 4)
Mare-Nave (90%): Rain Deity (Level 4)

Shortened Notes:
Casandra attacks Bow Fighter with Bronze Lance, dealing 19 damage.
Bow Fighter defeated
Sword Fighter attacks Casandra with Iron Sword, dealt 1 damage.
Casandra counterattacks with Bronze Lance, dealing 24 damage.
Sword Fighter defeated

Casandra quickly rides up to the North Arch atop Peanut, her Bronze Lance dragging across the stone floor. She quickly stops as she gets within range of the Bow Fighter. Cassandra then flips off Peanut, striking down with the dark orange blade, dealing 19 damage to the Bow Fighter. He drops his bow as he dies. Cassandra then quickly remounts, ready to defend from the Sword Fighter. The Sword Fighter twirls his sword and slices down at Cassandra, dealing 1 damage. Cassandra then counterattacks with a quick swipe from her lance, dealing 24 damage, defeating the Sword Fighter. 

Cassandra spins her lance as she puts it back on her back. "That was easy enough. Now who's next!" She shouts as she raises her arm to the air. 

The two lance users of your party then look over to their right as they hear Feathi (10%) shout "I'll strike you down with the might of a thousand sparrows!" A loud crack echoes around the square as the Grey Thief drops her daggers as she falls to the ground. Feathi (10%) then flies back up into the air, the dark and cloudy cloth now wrapping around her in a brilliant fluffy white. 

"Eh, that little one's pretty good. Seems like the deities only really need 10% of their ability to defeat people like this. They might even be better with less of their power." Cassandra says to Mare-Nave (90%) as they watch Feathi defeat the Grey Thief.

"You may be very well correct courier. But it's not entirely about percentage of power, that's not what the numbers we use mean." Mare-Nave (90%) replies.

Ah, don't worry. I didn't update over that time, so I guess I'll consider this plan despite being after the period. I should update again soon, but I've been doing quite a lot of other projects like trying to learn to cook. But updates to be expected soon... enough...

So, yea.

Chapter 3.2:

【Main Story:】
【Tempest 1: World of Windsworn】
【Trial 2: Unsuspecting Encounters and Enemies (1)】

You cleared out two of the arches, but see more reinforcements arriving. They all draw their weapons and prepare to attack. You call back your allies to the center of the square, leaving your entire troop's power to defend if attacked. 

"Forget those ones, the child is the only one we need. Strike her down! True and strong!" A voice yells out, it's deep and powerful. The enemies all yell back in agreeance and attack.

Feathi (10%) defeated

Feathi sees the attackers, immediately mobilizing to take the strongest foe out. She swoops down to the Green Bow Knight, whipping him with the cloudy cloth in her hand. She strikes for 15 damage, then swipes down with it again for another 15 damage. The knight's body falls to the ground with a heavy clunk, but the others begin their assault as soon as their ally falls. Immidealtly the Green SMG Scout pulls out his DFC Gion MK III and fires three times, each one dealing a critical 6 damage. 

"Achk!" Feathi (10%) says as she grips her right arm. After this attack, the Lance Cavalier rushes in and stabs with his Iron Lance. The lance strike deals 8 damage, which Feathi counters against. "Tehe! Now you've really gone and done it! Huh!?" She yells out, triggering Astra. Feathi smacks the cloth at her 5 times, dealing 27 damage. Defeating the Lance Cavalier. The Red Sniper Scout in the back then fires their shot at Feathi (10%), triggering New Moon. The bullet flies out, dealing a critical 21 damage. Feathi tumbles slowly to the floor. "No... I didn't get to have all my fun..." She says sadly as her limp body bounces off the floor.
