Melody
Your team heads out to the Melodis ruins, led by Gerand. As you walk along the path to Melodis, you get a good look at Edward, a new guy here. He looks like a note beast that was somehow mixed with a lightning tiger or something. He's got weird ears and a tail. Both of which are white and yellow in color. You notice his hair is also white and yellow with a zigzag pattern. Aside from that, you notice he wears some light leather armor for protection. More interestingly you notice he has claws where his nails should be. Those must be useful in a fight. You briefly wonder if he has claws on his toes too, but can't get answers seeing as he's wearing boots. The group is silent as they walk, but Edward's is a more alert silence while Gerand's is a bit relaxed.
Finally, you come to a clearing in the trees and see what used to be the great city of Melodis. The outer walls are completely crumbled and the remains of a grand sign sit nearby. "Welcome to Melodis! Land of the Note Beasts" You look out among the rubble and notice the sky here is a sickly, dark purple color, covered in clouds. It must be constantly night here. A gigantic dome of constellations sits in the center of the city. Everything within it is dark. But as you watch from a distance, you can hear what sounds like the wail of a terrible beast, muffled from behind the dome. Gerand flinches slightly at the sound before composing himself.
"The Symphony Summon is contained inside that dome..." He nods to it. "Alright, let's get moving. I want to finish up with this place as soon as possible. Anywhere you want to go specifically? There's a few districts here. The shopping district, the residential district, the tourist district, the park, and the Grand Library. We could also always check the outskirts of the city, but I doubt we'd find anything around there. It's already been scavenged."

Melody muses, taking in the atmosphere of the ruin.
Hmmm... Maybe I can find some instruements or somethinf interesting in the tourist district...
"Would it be alright if we went to the... tourist district?"

Gerand nods. "Yeah, I'll take you there. Stick close. It can be easy to get lost without a guide and there are likely monsters around." You follow Gerand with Edward close behind. The party makes their way through various debris. You see what looks like ruined homes, various restaurants that all look destroyed nearly entirely, and a few shops here and there with large, gaping holes. Just thinking about how such a beautiful town could be reduced to this...it's terrifying.
The party continues onward until you make your way to the tourist district square. There, a statue of a woman stands at the center of the plaza. But...she's destroyed. The body is cut in half and the wings the statue once had have crumbled. It looks like she was once holding something in her right hand, but the hand itself is completely gone now. Gerand notices you looking at the statue before speaking. "The Maiden of Time. She had power over time. There was this whole elaborate plan to send Rachel back in time and stop the Symphony Summoning. But even that...even that failed. Even with time itself on our side, we couldn't stop the Symphony Summon." He's silent for a while.
Edward begins poking around some of the rubble in search of anything interesting. Looks like now would be a good time to search any areas you specifically wanted to.

Melody gazes around with a sad expression.
This place... must've once been beautiful... I wonder hoe many other places have been forever ruined because of the Summon...
Melody will search for any sort if concert hall or stage.

Melody
You search around for a bit before finding what looks like a stage of some sort in the main square. This must be what they used for festivals and such. You begin to sift through the rubble a bit before something suddenly hits you!
You're knocked back by a powerful attack before your allies come running in to help you. A strange, shadowy, amorphous sphere floats up out of the rubble with two others following after it. What looks like strange, long appendages appear out of it and attempt to hit Gerand, but he dodges with a quick flip. "Be careful! These things aren't normal monsters. They came after the Symphony Summon. We don't know what they are, but we call them Abominations. They have no weaknesses and do a lot of damage. Be on guard."

Alright then... the best strategy would be to proceed with caution then and be ready to make a quick escape if necessary...
Melody draws back her bow, readying a normal arrow.
"Diana, Crescent Feathers."

Melody
Melody and Diana head to the back, unleashing their ranged attacks while Gerand moves forward with Spark. He jumps over one of the shadows and stabs it in the back, seemingly paralyzing it. Spark then unleashes a bolt of lightning that moves from the first target to the other Abominations. The one hit by both Gerand and Melody falls. The enemies begin to move with the first attacking Gerand with their long appendages, but he manages to dive and weave through them unharmed. The other one faces toward Melody and fires a beam at her, however, Edward jumps in front and slams one of his hands into the ground, causing a wall of electricity to fly up in front of them both and block out the laser. "Are you alright?" He looks to you for a short moment.

"Yes." Melody says.
So it appears these enemies are able to utilize not only melee attacks, but ranged ones as well... Hmmm.
Melody begins to strafe left and right, at a decent speed. She readies an Ice Arrow, aiming at one of the enemies.
"Diana", she calls out, "Aquarius Swandive."

Melody
Melody fires an ice arrow into one of the enemies before Diana dives forward, attacking the same enemy with water. Gerand whistles and taunts the enemies, gaining their attention while Spark causes another chain of lightning to blast through them. Edward then runs in, claws ready as he unleashes an electrified claw strike on the Abomination, taking it down.
The remaining Abomination fires a shadowy beam at Gerand, but he rolls out of the way, evading it with ease. "Alright, this is the last one. Hit it with everything you've got."

Melody
Melody fires an arrow at the enemy followed by Diana's crescent feathers attack. Gerand lands a couple of quick slashes on the enemy with his daggers before Spark causes a lightning bolt to drop down from above and zap the Abomination. Edward then runs in with his claws electrified again, slashing at the Abomination once more and taking it down. He stands and his tail flicks to the side a bit. "It looks like we managed to survive. Not bad."

With the enemies defeated, Melody checks around the rubble a bit once more. She picks up what looks like a harp with a sun symbol on it. Gerand walks over to her and looks at the harp. "Yep, that's a standard issue Hero's Sun harp. The students at the academy would be given one of these. Either a knight or a student must have been in the area when the Symphony Summon happened. Feel free to keep the harp. They won't be using it." He inspects the harp a bit closer. "Yeah, the Note Beasts that were in there are gone. Whoever this belonged to isn't around anymore."
Edward looks at the harp a little sadly, his ears flattened. "Well maybe we'll find something good around here. Better to try and look on the positive side of things, right?"
Gerand simply shrugs and then looks back at Melody. "Alright then. Where to next? You still want to stick around this area?"

Hmmmm.... I wonder what the park looks like... Is it destroyed like the rest of this place...?
"Can we... go to the park...?"

"Sure. Stick close to me. I'll get you there." Gerand leads the party through the town a bit until you reach the park.
Upon reaching the park, you get a quick look around. This place doesn't seem like it was spared either. The once green park is now filled with dead grass and trees. Knocked over lamp posts can be seen here and there and a fountain that once poured water is dry and cracked with an ominous, dark liquid sitting inside. Edward glances around a bit and then looks to you. "So where should we look first?"

Melody quietly makes her way ober to the fountain to investigate the liquid, without responding to Edward's question. She peers into it.

Melody
You approach the fountain and peer inside...it looks so dark and-
"Look out!" Edward pushes you aside as the black liquid shoots out and blasts him backward, damaging him. "Gah!"
The fountain shakes violently as cracks appear in the ground. It rises upwards as a black tentacle-like appendages come out around it. The top of the fountain releases black liquid as it comes out and forms the shape of two long arms with large, shadowy hands on either side. Each hand has large claws on it. The fountain's base changes to open large, glowing red eyes. They stare at you unsettlingly.
Gerand runs in and takes out his daggers. "Alright, everyone be careful. I can tell this one is stronger than the others we've fought..."
