Granblue Story Archives

The morning after receiving a hearty welcome from the villagers of Zinkenstill, the disillusioned Eugen decides he wants to spend the rest of his days doing what he loves most—adventuring. Io, on the other hand, exclaims that she'll find a reason to continue on the journey. The crew sets out in search of info on the Sky Map pieces and heads for the Crew of Enforcers' archives on Amalthea Island.

The crew spends the night in Gran's hometown of Zinkenstill.

Everyone gathers before the Grandcypher, ready and resolved to face the journey ahead.

Eugen

...

Hmm...

Lyria

Io, you seem pretty sleepy. Are you alright?

I had something on my mind, so I didn't get much sleep.

Eugen

Ha ha ha! I can say the same! I could've used a bit more sleep this mornin'.

Eugen

But thankfully, I'm now able to see clearly what it is I want for myself.

Eugen

I've decided, I'll live out the rest of my days in the sky as a skyfarer.

Eugen

I'd thought about retiring myself to Auguste, you know.

Eugen

But the quiet life just ain't for me! I bet my little buddy here'd say the same.

Eugen, reflecting on bittersweet memories, gently grips his trusty rifle.

Eugen

So I've no intention of stopping. If Gran is headed beyond the sky, then so be it.

Eugen

We can travel together forever! I'll be with you wherever you go, Gran!

Gran smiles in relief at Eugen's encouraging words.

Rosetta

That's the answer you chose for yourself, right?

Eugen

Aye! After all's said and done, the sky's where I belong.

Rackam

Io. Did you find your answer?

No... But I'm coming along.

Rackam

Huh?

In the end, I couldn't find a purpose for myself, like everyone else.

But! Maybe it's something that can't be found unless I keep going.

Rackam

You mean, you'll discover your purpose during the journey?

Right! Isn't that the perfect reason to continue this journey?

Rackam

I dunno... But I guess when you say it like that...

Rosetta

I think it's fine. Besides, people can have all sorts of reasons to go.

Katalina

At any rate, it seems everyone's here and ready to depart once again.

As Katalina speaks, the crew look around at each other.

Vyrn

Heh heh! Then we're off on a new journey!

Lyria

Yep! It's hard to imagine what we'll see along the way.

Lyria

But I'm sure we'll make it! So let's go! Beyond the sky!

Gran and company welcome the gentle morning sunlight with newfound resolve.

The crew then gives their thanks and goodbyes to the villagers as they board the Grandcypher.

Rackam

Now then... Where are we off to first?

Katalina

About that... Yesterday I spoke with Gran and a few others.

Katalina

In order to gather map pieces, we need to gather information first.

Rackam

You've got a point. Only primal beasts possess map pieces, right?

Rosetta

Right. We need to search for islands with ties to primal beasts.

Ties to primal beasts... Which means islands with something unique only to them.

So maybe we should ask around about unusual islands?

Katalina

We could go about it that way, but how about getting a little help this time?

Get a little help...?

Lecia

Let's head for Amalthea Island. The Crew of Enforcers' archives should have information on all the islands.

Vyrn

Now that you mention it, we found a book there written about me!

Rackam

Alright! Our new journey begins! Time to fire it up, Gran!

I'm ready to show my stuff this time and become a proper lady, too!

Rosetta

As long as I'm surrounded by all of you, this journey will surely be exciting.

Eugen

All right! Let's just how far this old man can go!

Lecia

To the ends of the skies... If I stick with all of you, Gran, I might become great like my father one day!

Katalina

Everyone must be very excited. Because this time, we're not running away. We're hurrying forward!

Lyria

No matter what we've lost, we'll be fine if we're together!

Vyrn

Gran, you seem in good spirits, too! We'll make it this time! To reach your father and go beyond the horizon!

Gran's journey to the ends of the skies begins once again.

The crew takes a leap forward on a new adventure, steering them toward their dreams.

Gran and company head for Amalthea Island while defeating monsters along the way. Lecia stands alone on the far side of the deck, gazing worriedly into the sky. Up until now, Lecia has served Gran and company merely as part of an assignment from the Crew of Enforcers. But with the empire defeated, she fears she may have to leave Gran's crew if she is given a new assignment.

Gran and company head for Amalthea Island, while defeating monsters along the way.

Lecia stands alone on the far side of the airship's deck, gazing worriedly into the sky.

Lecia

...

Lyria

Lecia! What's wrong? You're standing here all alone.

Lecia

Lyria... Vyrn. Even Gran's here...

Vyrn

What's up? You look kinda sad.

Vyrn

Isn't Amalthea like a second home to you, Lecia?

Lyria

Could it be, something you're worried about?

Lecia

No, it's just... Well...

Lecia nervously waves her hands about to reassure the two, but it's no use. She lowers her head and begins to speak.

Lecia

I'm sorry. I might have to take back what I said yesterday.

Vyrn

Huh, what's this all of a sudden?

Lecia

It's not that I don't want to travel with Gran and the crew. My feelings haven't changed.

Lecia

But when I think about it, now that the Erste Empire has fallen...

Lecia

... the Crew of Enforcers might hand down a new assignment to me.

Lecia

And that assignment might have me part ways with everyone here.

Lyria

Oh no! Lecia, you might end up leaving our crew?

Lecia

...

Lecia casts her eyes down as she shifts back and forth anxiously.

Yet with each passing moment, Amalthea Island gradually comes into distance of the airship and its crew.

Now famous for stopping the Erste Empire, the crew receives an enthusiastic welcome from the members of the Crew of Enforcers. Lecia walks away from the commotion to look for Monika. She learns from a fellow skyfarer that her father, the Blue Knight Walfrid, will be returning to the Phantagrande Skydom soon.

Enforcer 1

Lecia's returned! And she's brought the crew with her!

The crew receives an enthusiastic welcome from the members of the Crew of Enforcers as they disembark from the Grandcypher.

Rackam

Hey hey! What's going on here?

Enforcer 2

We heard from the crew that went to Agastia to help out!

Enforcer 2

Your crew alone faced off against the mighty Erste Empire.

Enforcer 2

You even turned the tables in Agastia!

Rackam

Ah you're embarrassin' us when you put it that way...

Rosetta

But make no mistake—we saved the world from the evil hand of the empire.

Enforcer 3

Exactly! Now right this way! We'll have you take it easy while you're here.

Lecia looks around as Gran and company are guided by members of the Crew of Enforcers.

Vyrn

Huh? What's wrong?

Lecia

Nothing... I just don't see Monika anywhere.

Lecia

I wanted to say hello and have a talk about how things will work out from here on.

Lecia

I think I'll go look for her. You guys can go on ahead.

Lecia leaves Gran and company to search for Monika in one of the halls.

She checks all the areas where Monika might turn up, but cannot find her.

Lecia

(I wonder where Monika went...)

Lecia

(Could she have gone off on assignment?)

Lecia ponders Monika's whereabouts as she continues walking, but suddenly comes across a crew member.

Lecia

Excuse me, but do you know where Monika is?

Enforcer 4

Oh! Admiral Lecia! Welcome back!

Lecia

Former admiral... But where is Monika?

Enforcer 4

Monika headed for the Dydroit Belt as soon as she got back from Agastia.

Lecia

The Dydroit Belt? Huh? You don't mean he's...

Enforcer 4

That's right! It seems he's finally coming back—Captain Walfrid!

Enforcer 4

Monika is there to escort him back.

Lecia

My father... in Phantagrande?

Upon hearing of her father's sudden return, Lecia is at a loss for words.

Anticipating their reunion, a mix of both happiness and unease swirls within her heart.

Lecia is surprised to learn that her father, the Blue Knight Walfrid, would soon be returning to the Phantagrande Skydom. Because Lecia's father once traveled with Gran's father, she is relieved to soon learn the truth about everything. But she cannot deny the possibility that what she uncovers may have her going up against the crew. Whether she will be able to confront them about it is something only time can tell.

Lecia

My father...

Enforcer 4

Yes ma'am! I heard he'll be returning here via the Dydroit Belt.

Enforcer 4

The Seven Luminary Knights are a class all their own. Going through that area and beyond the Grim Basin...

Lecia

Yeah... They sure are.

Enforcer 4

By the way, may I ask why you're here, Admiral Lecia?

Enforcer 4

Could it be? You're returning to the Fourth Fleet as well?

Lecia

No, I've uh... come to take a look at the archives.

Enforcer 4

I see.

Enforcer 4

But since your father is coming back, why not come back with him?

Enforcer 4

I'm sure Captain Walfrid would be very pleased!

Lecia

Monika gave me orders to assist Gran's crew.

Lecia

I can't return here on my own authority. Besides... I'm a former admiral.

Enforcer 4

Ah... That's right. My apologies...

Lecia

It's fine. I'll be meeting up with them now.

And with that, Lecia turns on her heel and quickly leaves the building.

Once she's alone, she places her hand on her chest in an effort to calm herself.

Lecia

My father... is really returning to this skydom?

Lecia

(I wonder what he'll think when he sees me...)

Lecia

(I wonder if he'll congratulate me for stopping Prime Minister Freesia with Gran and everyone...)

Lecia

(Wait... If he's coming back, then that means I can ask him myself.)

Lecia

(I wonder what he knows about Lyria and Vyrn.)

Lecia

Whew...

Lecia breathes a huge sigh of relief.

Lecia

(I can finally clear things up about the two of them and what he'd written in that memo.)

Lecia

(I can finally resolve everything.)

Lecia

(But what if I ask him and there really is danger in the two of them being together?)

Lecia

(Could I keep them apart somehow?)

Lecia

(Surely the crew would notice...)

Lecia

(Would I have to confront them for my beliefs just like the Black Knight did?)

Considering the worst case scenario, Lecia shuts her eyes tightly and shakes her head.

However, she couldn't shake off the image of the worst to come.

Anxious about seeking answers but still wanting to speak with her father, Lecia suggests to Gran and company that they go to the Dydroit Belt. It is an easy decision for Gran, as it creates the perfect opportunity to learn more about Vyrn's past and true nature while also giving Lecia some long-awaited father-daughter time.

The Dydroit Belt?

Lecia

Yes. The Blue Knight Walfrid is on his way through there now.

Lecia

In other words, it would seem my father is returning to the Phantagrande Skydom.

With a number of worries on her mind, Lecia meets up with Gran and company.

Although a little uncertain, Lecia suggests the crew head toward the Dydroit Belt.

Katalina

The Dydroit Belt... That's the special island chain that straddles across skydoms.

Eugen

When I was a lad, I would help ferry merchants to a place near there.

Eugen

In fact, it's only a little part, but it juts into the Grim Basin for sure.

Eugen

We only brought 'em near, but even then I thought we were done for.

Lecia

Yes. It's just as you say. The Dydroit Belt straddles skydoms, and it's partly included in the Grim Basin.

Lecia

The Seven Luminary Knights use the belt to move between skydoms.

Lecia

It seems Monika is headed there now to meet my father.

Lecia

Since those knights take most assignments beyond this skydom, there are hardly any chances to meet them.

Lecia

If we make our way towards the belt now and see my father...

Lecia

We should be able to discover the truth behind Vyrn's past and what he really is.

Rackam

That's right. It was your father who left those notes about sealing Vyrn's powers, right?

And Vyrn seems to remember seeing him before, after his memories were unsealed.

Rosetta

He seems a straight-forward man, so he may tell us about anything we ask.

Katalina

The Seven Luminary Knights are hard to find as they're always on the move. This is a chance we can't pass up.

Katalina

On top of that, it's a reunion between father and daughter. We should do everything we can to help.

Lyria

Right! You've done so much for us, Lecia. And family is important.

Lecia

Thank you, Lyria and Katalina.

Rackam

Now then, I guess we're off to the Dydroit Belt!

Rackam

It'll be a waste if we miss each other on the way, so we'll leave soon! Everyone get ready!

The crew heads for the Dydroid Belt, which straddles across the skydoms. But, since part of it extends into the Grim Basin, the Grandcypher begins to shake violently as they approach. Just as Lecia mentions that the Seven Luminary Knights can pass through the Grim Basin with ease, a horde of abnormally ferocious monsters attack them.

Upon learning that the Blue Knight, who holds the key to Vyrn's past, is returning to this skydom, the crew make their way toward the Dydroit Belt.

The Grandcypher makes safe passage toward the belt until...

Woah!

Hey! What's going on here!

Rackam

Sorry. It seems the closer we get to the Grim Basin, the more unstable the ship becomes.

Vyrn

That was quite a shake just now, but I guess it'll get even rougher as we go.

Vyrn

Hey! Lecia's father is gonna come from another skydom through the Grim Basin, right?

Vyrn

So does that mean Lecia's father has map pieces like Gran's father did?

Lecia

I'm afraid not. I'm not sure of the details.

Lecia

But the Seven Luminary Knights don't need the Sky Map to cross the Grim Basin.

Katalina

I've heard that as well.

Katalina

But it's hard to believe that one can navigate such turbulent skies without any guidance.

Lecia

Not exactly. Even the Seven Luminary Knights can't handle crossing the Grim Basin in these conditions.

Katalina

What? That's the first I've heard of that.

Lecia

I've only heard it once when I was little, but if I remember correctly...

Lecia

Each of the knights use the gift of their masters to open the path, or something like it...

Katalina

Masters? Of the Seven Luminary Knights?

Lecia

Yes, but I don't know much more about it.

Rackam

Then we'll just have to ask your dad for the details!

Rackam

But first, we've got monsters! They seem abnormally ferocious! Don't let down your guard, Gran!

The crew braves the turbulent skies in order to reach Dydroit Belt, when suddenly, the winds come to a complete stop. They cast their eyes on the Grim Basin, the giant gap that separates the skydoms with endless dark clouds.

Gran and company drive out the monsters swarming the Grandcypher.

Suddenly, as if reaching the eye of a storm, the violent winds that struck the airship subside into calm.

Huh? The wind...

Vyrn

Woah wait! Is that it over there?

Rackam

It's... the Grim Basin.

While headed for the Dydroit Belt, Gran and company find themselves before the Grim Basin.

A giant gap that separates the skydoms, overwhelming all who lay eyes on it with its endless dark clouds instilling fear and a sense of foreboding.

And in the far-off distance beyond the miasma, an even greater menace lies in wait.
