"Well, there's this monk I know that would be up for saving the world - you know Valencio?"
Nemo nods. "I have met him before, yes. Interesting man."
"Good, he's one of my choice. The other would be my nephew, Craig - wait, did I say nephew? I meant cousin!" True, the age gap makes you think of him more like a nephew than a cousin.
"Hmmm, interesting. Why would you recommend him?" Nemo tilts his head.
"He's really good at magic stuff. Not only casting spells and such, he can also see spirits as well. And besides, he's close by." True, sometimes he talks to things that aren't there.
"I see! We should visit him first, then we go to Valencio's chapel. Valencio's a day away, right?" Nemo motions you to follow him as he exits the town jail.
"Yeah, Craig lives with an aunt in a nearby farm - it's just out of town." Not Aunt Gina Hewlett, this is a separate aunt, Aunt Jemima Hillox. Craig's been in her care since his mother, Aunt Franny Snorlinson, has a job that takes her far away at times. Goblin families, y'know?
Some time later, but not that long, you've arrived at the farm. But what's this?
"...and stay away from him! Stay away from this farm too, while you're at it. Now scram!" Aunt Jemima's voice is easily recognizable. It seems like a big cyborg is harassing the two of them.
