This is a translation of the Tales of Vesperia novels: The Silence of the Dragon-rider, Judith's story. I am only responsible for translating it, and for any content in ((double parentheses)).
PART 1: A CHANCE MEETING ON BALBUSA
Only the Voiceless Speak The Truth
((Editor's notes: "ryukka" and "grisen" are not clearly defined. There are two explanations -- the sentences are the definition, or they're terms for one another. So "ryukka" may mean daughter or good night, and "grisen" may mean father or I'm sorry. Sadly for those of us who would love to fic with it, it's not clear at the moment.))
((Illustration: This chapter has an illustration of Hermes holding a lantern staring at Ba'ul's silhouette, with Judith clinging to him and also staring.))
((Credits: Love still goes to rainfalling for getting me the novels for the holidays and for helping me with a few confusing bits.))
