The City Streets of Castelia

-The peaceful citizenry sleeps, nestled in their beds, when suddenly a cry pierces the night!-

Innocent Young Bystander: Ah, help!

Mugger: Heh, no use crying out now!

-The mugger, wielding a knife, has cornered his prey in a dark alleyway, far from the nighttime streets!-

Innocent Young Bystander: P-please, someone, help me!

Mugger: Alright, you little twit, it's about time I cut out that tongue of yours out!

-The mugger takes a step forward, and--

???: ... <Wait!>

-The mugger stops. He pauses a moment before looking around.-

Mugger: Who said that?

-A brave Herdier, wearing a black eye mask and long, red scarf, steps forward.-

???: <Scum like you doesn't deserve to know my name!>

-The Herdier, dashing across the ground on a carpet of blowing sand, bites the criminal's forearm and wrenches the knife from his grip before throwing the evildoer down the alley!-

Mugger: Agh, my arm...!

???: <I had better not catch you in my city again!>

-The criminal, stricken with fear, bolts away into the night.-

Innocent Young Bystander: Oh, thank you, mysterious canine! How can I repay you?

???: <No need! Protecting the city is what I was born for. But, ah, and ear scratching is always appreciated.>

-And so, the good city is saved, once again, by the Mysterious Canine!-
