If I never met Sylphy.
Then I wouldn't have headed to Fortress City Roa.
Then I wouldn't have met Eris and Ghyslaine either.
But I might have gone to school.
On the magic side, sooner or later I would hit a bottle neck, and request to attend the Magic University at Sharia.
Maybe under different circumstances, Paul wouldn't demand that I wait until 12, and okay it right away.
But, Sylphy won't be there. Not even if I waited.
