Worthy

Dana

Aaah! Captain, I'm so sorry for being late!

Dana

I was helping a man sell slippery kelp and ended up running late again!

Dana

Nom...

Dana

Mmmm! It's my first time trying this, but it's so good!

Novice Savior

Excuse me!

Dana

Hmm?

Novice Savior

Hi! You're a Journey member, right?

Dana

Ahaha! Yep, that's me!

Dana

Druid of the Canopus Mountains! The one and only druid from the Canopus Rangers!

Dana

I'm Dana, NOA's go-to helper! I run to anyone who needs help!

Dana

Do you need help?!

Novice Savior

What?! Oh, no! Not at all!

Dana

Ahaha! Well, let me know if anything comes up!

Dana

So, what brings you here?

Novice Savior

Oh, it's just... I was a little curious...

Novice Savior

The Journey is something every Savior dreams of, right?

Novice Savior

So I wanted to know more about you, Dana the Journey member, and what kind of person you are!

Dana

Something every Savior dreams of...?

Novice Savior

Yeah! It's not an opportunity just anyone can get.

Novice Savior

Honestly, I really wanted to take on the Journey too.

Novice Savior

I even sent a letter to Candle Square, but I didn't make it in the end.

Novice Savior

So I really wanted to speak with someone like you, who got invited to the Journey!

Novice Savior

You must have some kind of amazing goal, right?

Dana

Ahaha! I just really like to see people smile. That's why I applied.

Dana

They said that if I complete the Journey, I could help even more people!

Novice Savior

...Huh?

Dana

...?

Novice Savior

Ah... haha! I see!

Novice Savior

So your mission is to save everyone!

Dana

What? I guess it's kind of like that, but not exactly—

Novice Savior

Then it makes sense why I didn't make it!

Novice Savior

I'm sorry. I was still hung up on it.

Novice Savior

I thought I could do well too... and I wanted to know what makes us different.

Novice Savior

My goal is lasting peace across the continent.

Novice Savior

I wanted to create systems and infrastructure to respond to sudden Voidborn outbreaks.

Novice Savior

But I guess that reason wasn't strong enough to get me invited to the Journey.

Dana

Huh? Wait, what...?

Dana

Um...

Novice Savior

Thanks for talking with me!

Novice Savior

Thanks to you, I think I understand what a true Savior really is.

Novice Savior's Companion

Come on! We're gonna be late!

Novice Savior

Ah! Sorry! My friends are calling!

Dana

Um... I'm really not that amazing...

Novice Savior

Please, make it through the Journey!

Novice Savior

I hope you finish it and show everyone!

Novice Savior

What it really means to be a true Savior!

Dana

A true Savior...? But I—

Novice Savior

Thank you! Hope we meet again!

Dana

H-hey...!

Dana

What does it even mean... to be a "true Savior"...?

Training began, but Dana just couldn't seem to focus.

Is something wrong?

Dana

Captain...!

Dana

N-no! It's nothing! You don't have to worry about it!

Dana

It's just, I mean...

Dana

...

Dana

Captain.

Hmm?

Dana

I met another Savior on the way here.

Dana

Turns out, there are lots of others who want to be a Journey member too.

Dana

She had way more concrete plans than I do.

Dana

She talked about how she'd bring peace to the world once she passed the Journey.

Dana

But... But...

Dana

All I could say was that I liked to see people smile...

Dana

Captain. I want to ask.

Dana

Can someone like me really keep going with the Journey?

Dana

Do I deserve this over people who are more serious or have stronger convictions than me?

Dana...?

Dana

Sorry, Captain...

Dana

I shouldn't have brought this up...

Dana

I'll see you tomorrow.

Dana walked off with her shoulders slumped in a way I had never seen before.

Looks like I'll need to do something about this.
