Introduction[edit]
The story begins with Princess Ovelia praying and a knight named Agrias and a priest named Simon trying to hurry her along. Before long, a Black Knight, Gafgarion, enters with two squires, Ramza (the protagonist of this story) and Rad.
Gafgarion tries to rush the princess along rudely, before discussing the "rude knaves" among the Hokuten. Just as Ovelia is about to leave, a female Knight comes in wounded by an enemy outside. Simon asks if it is Prince Goltana's men and the group rushes outside to meet the enemy.
Battle[edit]
The battle basically plays itself out and it is pretty much impossible to lose. Nothing in this battle will impact anything else in this game regardless of what actions you take in the battle. Although it's possible you can die in this battle so don't completely rush into the center of the enemy. You'll see Gafgarion's Night Sword ability as well as Agrias's Statis Sword, the former draws HP from the enemy, the latter could cause the Stop condition. You may also see the enemy Knights' Break Armor ability. The enemy Chemist also tends to throw potions in order to heal his allies. Ramza comes equipped with a few of his "Guts" moves: Dash, Throw Stone, Heal, and Wish that you may want to try out.
Aftermath[edit]
Following the battle, Ovelia is kidnapped and the kidnapper escapes on a Chocobo.
