Anastasia and the Mounted Regal Rescue

---

I love this story, and I love them all, but in this story there is a message about not judging people or animals without getting to know them and I think even grown ups will benefit from the message I am so proud of the Larry the Liger series; each story is poignant to me and has elements of things I felt as a child. Larry the Liger is half lion and half tiger and, despite his size, is a liger cub.

I wrote a lot in the couple of years around publishing the Easter Liger as the words were well and truly flowing. I hear of singers forgetting the lyrics of their songs and I totally relate! A few weeks ago my Kindle had to be reset and I was pleased when all my eBooks were recovered. The Man Festival 7. The Straw Millionaire E. Our rude-looking, ruffian of a Hero. Technically the "Hero" of the story, Yuri doesn't actually join your party until after you've cleared Dom Remy for the first time. Thanks to Nicholai, you'll find him much changed from the Godkiller you knew in SH1.

If you're looking for the same FMs he had in SH1, you'll only find two: Amon and Seraphic Radience, whom they're calling "Dark Seraphim" now. However, the principles behind the system are pretty much the same. Gather Soul Points through random encounters and use them to power up the FMs. Like in SH1, there are 6 basic FMs, one for each element. Every time Yuri's turn comes up, his SP are going to drop by that amount.

These are two separate procedures. Raising one doesn't automatically raise the other. There should be an option called "Soul Charge". Choose that option, then flip to the FM you want to charge, press and hold the O button and voila! Raising the highest grade automatically raises the level of that FM's lower grades.

Go to the gravestone of the FM you want to charge and examine it. The option to charge the gravestone should appear. Press and hold the O button to get the job done. You can find them any time after you've acquired the FM Amon. Here's where they are: Check the floor up and to the left. After you've cleared it for the first time, there should be another shiny yellow spot. At the entrance to the village proper, there's a little wooden hut-thingy to the right of the path. Soul Drops work on any FM, so you can raise them in any order you like.

Once you have one, just go to that FM's gravestone in the graveyard and touch the Drop to the stone. At that point, you'll be dropped into a fight with a shadow-beast in order to acquire the FM. Each shadow-beast has about the same amount of power, they just use different spells. Defeat them and the FM is yours. You get him automatically. This time the Door to Destruction will open, taking you into the Castle of Mirrors. Amon awaits you at the end. Defeat him and he's yours.

Amon costs 5 SP per round. Neo Amon awaits you at the end of the Tiffauge Castle. Neo Amon costs 6 SP per round. Perhaps the coolest FM, he's also the hardest one to get. There are several requirements you need to meet first. You must have both Amon and Neo Amon.

Kurando must have Ogre. You must have at least entered the Bronze Bell. Fill all 4 requirements and the Stone of Rebirth should appear at the base of the tree in the Graveyard. There won't be any yellow light or anything to let you know it's there, just press the O button in the general area and you should pick it up.

Stone in hand, go to the Door to Desire. Go in until an event triggers. After a long talk with Ben Hyuga, a fight with Dark Seraphim will start. Win, and he's yours.

Talk to them and they tell you about a mean-looking giant guy they hauled out of the surf a few weeks ago. It's Lenny, who you probably thought was dead. Well, he's alive and well apparently, and also long gone from Cannes. So, go track him down. After talking to the 2 kids on the beach, head up to Petrograd. There should be an old lady standing by the bridge near where you go down into the Halls of the Dead. She'll tell you about this mean-looking giant guy who kept a thug from stealing her purse.

Next, go to Champs Elysees. Standing somewhere in the middle of the sidewalk should be a hunched over guy that looks the world like an Iron Claw in street clothes. Intimidate him and he'll point you back to where this chase started. So, back to Cannes. At the long, double-back staircase, a new guy will challenge you to a math contest. Win, and he'll cough up Lenny's whereabouts: Margueritte where Roger had been held prisoner. It doesn't take too long to get this done, and you can do it relatively early in the game. Trust me, I tried. Go before that and you can hear a really amusing through-the-door conversation between Yuri and Lenny, it's such a pity they didn't have voice-overs for it , but not much else.

But before you go about changing the dresses, you have to actually acquire them first.

To do that, you need items called "Stud Cards". Present him with a card, and he will make your choice of six dresses; one, of course, for each element.

They end up finding not only Carla, but also her young apprentice Lucia as well. Short Cash to pay for the info they want gee, how surprising , the Crew agrees to pay for it "with their bodies". Less of a fortune-predicting game, Lucia's Tarot Cards are more straight up gamble.

Here's a list of the cards and where you can find them: The Moon You have this one from the beginning.

Just like the Combo Magic spells, you won't know what any of them do until you try them first. Lucia can affect either herself alone, or everyone in the party excluding herself. The ones that affect the rest of the party will do so for 1, 2 or 3 rounds rnd. Now, a "round" equals the amount of time between when Lucia uses the oils and when her turn next comes up.

Castille Andre Steal Cash from an enemy. Restore Oscar Negate any status-boosting spells on an enemy. Thieving Gale Toy Tanuki Swipe nifty stuff from an enemy. Tengu Run away from a battle.

Hyper Cannon Kanazuki hit Affinity None attack, range like a laser spell. Spirit Ward King Tamakos Boot an enemy out of the encounter. Nightmare Cockroach Just like the SH1 version, decent physical damage plus a schlew of ring and status disorders. Euthanasia Orobas As you might notice, a considerable number of these beasties are old news long before Anastasia joins your party.

Some don't even show up in random encounters. The only way to get them is through Sara's Challenge. In a corner of the Winter Palace's rooftop, after you beat Veronica's monster form.
