A Shared Connection to the Past
Mayor:
Have I told you that I was acquainted with your father, Captain?
Capitán Vidal:
No. I had no idea.

In Morocco. I knew him only briefly, but he left a great impression.

Capitán Vidal:
Nonsense. He didn't own a watch.

The Return of the Lost Princess
The Faun:
The say that a long, long time ago, in an underground kingdom, where there are no lies or pain, there lived a Princess who dreamt of the human world. She dreamt of the blue sky, the soft breeze and the brilliant sun. One day, eluding her keepers, the Princess escaped. Once outside, the sunlight blinded her and erased every trace of the past from her memory. The princess forgot who she was, and where she came from. Her body suffered cold, sickness and pain.
