"Wait, don't you two want to take the train?" Cid called after them, "It would be faster. All you need to do is solve the puzzle at the gate." Magnus and Ledo went to the train station and saw a keypad with the letters A-M on, five screens (one for each letter) and a riddle:
Blessed are the first
Slow are the second
Playful are the third
Bold are the fourth
Brave are the fifth

Upon a pleasant cobblestone path wandered Tamuríl in a field. She was currently feasting on a large jar of marmalade. This path was just outside the town. She was gazing into space, as pre-usual. Her thoughts were focused upon one thing for the time being
Marmalade, perhaps the most delicious food in the world, well, except for berries. Think about it: marmalade is, possibly, the most orange jelly in the world! And it is so luscious, so tasty, and, well, marmalish. After all, I was eating it. Marmalade should get an Oscar for Best Marmalade, don't you think?
Mages absolutely love marmalade, if you haven't noticed. Well, I do, anyway, and I'm just me, a (failed) mage, sorceress, black mage and all that jazz. CIRCUMSTANCES are very circumstantial, they prevent me from being a holder of powerful spells and all that. CIRCUMSTANCES prevent me from holding in certain tendencies to burn things. CIRCUMSTANCES kept me from meeting a single chap that didn't want me to blow me up, kill me, disembowel me, slap me, hit me, knock me out, etc well…least that wasn’t true now. Having met a few decent people that she deemed a friend
“Hmm, bored…nothing to do…wonder what the others are doing now…”
Having said that, a large meteorite came soaring over head, past the town and landed somewhere off in the distance.
“Hello…entertainment…”
She then headed towards the town.
"Hang on a second" Magnus said staring at the puzzle
Blessed are the first
Slow are the second
Playful are the third
Bold are the fourth
Brave are the fifth
"The answer is BLADE" Magnus keyed it in and the doors to the trainstation swung open. "All aboard" he said stepping through the doors "Make sure you're ready" He said to Ledo "We don't know what to expect."
