Dialogue[edit]

"Poetry is so easy, anyone can do it. I don't understand why everybody thinks Yukiko is so talented, but no one cares about my stories. Just listen to this: I'm writing an epic about a simple farmboy who discovers a powerful magical construct that comes to him when summoned by his flute. The construct is the strongest thing in the universe, and the farmboy must use it to fight creatures that come from a world other than our own. The creatures are trying to turn us into their mindless followers. The farmboy will meet many women along the way, and all of them will fall helplessly in love with him. People will think that he'll end up choosing one, when, in fact, he will choose them all! But that's really just a subplot to the fact that there's something evil stirring in the Mists, and that is what has called the unknown invaders to our world. The farmboy will head to the Mists, gathering up a crew of unlikely allies along the way: a grizzled former war hero with a heart of gold, a wise-cracking sidekick desperately seeking to prove himself, and some sort of creature that is both round and adorable to appeal to a wider audience. He will fight a final battle against the ultimate villain who is also...wait for it...his father. It will be the greatest story ever written; it is also my autobiography. Who has the talent NOW?"
