After winning a glorious victory in that "fair" one-on-one duel, successfully forcing a large group of angels to join her army, and sweeping through the Whitefeather City region and the Dungeon, a certain little witch—now with wings on her back—once again led her mixed, motley Legion in a fierce charge toward Erathia's former capital, the most prosperous city in the Kingdom of Erathia: Steadwick!
Unfortunately, although her plan had been excellent, certain factors once again caused it to fall through. She had once again been stopped by that extremely annoying Queen Catherine...
"Annie..."
"For the extraordinary command and combat abilities you've displayed, and for the series of great victories you've achieved in such a short time, I'm sincerely proud and gratified by you!"
"However, I have no choice but to stop your plan to attack the capital, Steadwick, once again..."
"Because we still have another problem in front of us—and that is the griffins!"
"Gryphonheart, the founder of the Kingdom of Erathia and its greatest king, believed that griffins had played a crucial role in every battle fought to establish Erathia! Therefore, before we retake the capital, Steadwick, we must obtain the griffins' assistance!"
"I'm currently heading back toward Cariat City and expect to arrive in about a week. Before then, I hope you can make a trip to Griffin Cliff, because nearly all of the griffins in our Kingdom of Erathia came from that place!"
"But now, that vital location is under the control of Nighon and Eeofol..."
"We need the griffins' help to reclaim the Kingdom of Erathia, just as they helped our ancestors establish Erathia several centuries ago! Therefore, I order you: before speeding up your march toward the capital, Steadwick, you must first rescue every griffin on Griffin Cliff!"
"..."
That was the letter and order
