Rab

Well, now... This place looks a mite familiar...

Rab

Aye, it's these funny wee buildings... We've seen them before...

Jade

Yes, there's no mistaking it. It looks just like the floating island where we met the Watcher, doesn't it?

Jade

Let's go and take a closer look. Who knows—we might find something interesting...

Serena

This painting...it's fascinating... It really...draws you in, doesn't it?

Rab

It reminds me of something... Ah, of course! I've been reading a book they say was written by the Watchers of late. Let me see if I can find the right part...

Rab

‘SPIRITS OF LOST TIME. BEINGS BORN FROM THE LAND. BEINGS WHO CONTROL TIME.’

Hendrik

‘Spirits of Lost Time’? Could they be these figures in the painting?

Rab

According to the book, they guard a sacred light that controls the flow of time.

Rab

And when that light burns bright enough, even those who are lost to eternity can be restored...

Sylvando

Restored how, exactly? You mean like...brought back to life?

Jade

Wait! If that was true, then maybe—well just maybe...

Jade

Think about it! We lost someone to eternity, didn't we? Someone we'd love to see again!

*: ...Veronica!

Serena

Do you really think we could...bring her back?

Sylvando

Well? What else does it say about this light?

Rab

‘LIGHT LIVES IN TOWER'S HEART. SACRED TOWER. TOWER OF LOST TIME.

Rab

‘WATCHERS GUARD WHEEL OF TIME. KEY TO TOWER. KEY TO TIME.

Rab

‘KEY BRINGS SPIRITS. SETS WHEELS IN MOTION.’

Serena

So if we had the Wheel of Time, we might... We might really be able to...?

Erik

What have we got to lose? If there's even a chance, we have to try, right?

Serena

Erik's right! No matter how unlikely it is, if it might be our chance to see her again, we simply have to try!

Sylvando

But the Watchers are all gone, right? So how do we find this Wheel thingy?

Rab

This was once one of their islands, wasn't it? And I'd say that hole in the wall up there was pretty wheel-like...

Rab

I reckon we could do worse than start our search right here, ye know.

Erik

There's a way through up there. Let's go poke around some more, shall we?

<pc> acquires the Wheel of Time!

Sylvando

You found the Wheel of Time! Honey, you are just too good at this!

Rab

So if I understood that book correctly, the Wheel will bring the Spirits of Lost Time to the tower they mentioned.

Hendrik

But where might this tower be found? No likely candidates spring to mind...

Sylvando

What's the matter, darling?

Erik

You got an idea where the place we're looking for might be?

Erik

I thought of something—there's an old tower north of Yggdrasil I always wondered about.

Erik

Unless anyone's got any better ideas, what say we climb aboard our friendly whale and see what we can see up there?

Rab

Looks like we found the right tower. I wonder if these Spirits of Lost Time are here already...

Rab

Come on, laddie. Let's head on in and see what we can see.

*: I am the Timekeeper... The flow of time... Of destiny... I watch over them... Guide them...

Erik

But what ARE you?

The Timekeeper

I am just what I say I am... And that is all I am...

Serena

I... I hope you don't mind us intruding, but...we heard there might be a rather special light here in the tower that can... Well, that can...bring people back...

Serena

We've lost someone very special you see, and...well, we were hoping you might be able to help us.

The Timekeeper

You speak of Time's Sphere...

The Timekeeper

If you were to harness its power, that which you seek might be attained...

The Timekeeper

But to lose time is to lose much... The path you propose to follow is not one to be trodden lightly...

Hendrik

To lose time? What do you mean?

The Timekeeper

Time's Sphere is the crystallisation of all that has taken place in Erdrea since memory began... Each moment gathered by the Spirits of Lost Time... Savoured... Remembered...

The Timekeeper

To take a sword to the Sphere would be to erase those moments... To return to the time of the last intact memory...

The Timekeeper

If your companion is to be restored to you...time itself must be destroyed...

The Timekeeper

As I say... To lose time is to lose much...

Serena

So in order to save Veronica, we would need to...turn back time...?

Rab

I think I'm beginning to get the picture...

Rab

We'd need to go back to... Aye...

Rab

We'd need to go back to before Yggdrasil fell! That way, we could stop Mordegon before it was too late!

Rab

That wouldnae just save Veronica—it would save the whole of Erdrea! Think of all the pain and suffering we could prevent!

The Timekeeper

It is possible... All is possible...

The Timekeeper

It may be that returning to that particular fork in the flow of time brings all that you wish and more...

Hendrik

Then it must be done! I would gladly give up all that has happened since that day for the chance to change it!

The Timekeeper

Alas, to lose time is to lose much... Only one of you may return to that place...

The Timekeeper

The Sphere can be broken but once... By a single hand... A hand possessed of a singular power...

The Timekeeper

In this world only one such power exists...

The Timekeeper

That of the Luminary...

The Timekeeper

I see you... I know you... I knew you the moment you appeared...

The Timekeeper

Only you can break the Sphere... And only with the Sword of Light...

The Timekeeper

When it is broken... When the memories are shattered... You will return to the past... And there you will stay...

Erik

You mean he'll have to live it all again? He can't come back here...to us?

The Timekeeper

To lose time is to lose much... This world... This reality... These will be lost to you... And that is not all...

The Timekeeper

The outcome of the Sphere's shattering is impossible to foresee...

The Timekeeper

You may be lost forever... Trapped in a corner of time... A half-faded memory...

Serena

(gasp) That's awful...!

The Timekeeper

Your present... Your companions... Your life, even... All these may be lost to you...

The Timekeeper

Knowing this, are you willing to risk all for the sake of your departed friend...?

The Timekeeper

Only you can decide... I will await you before the Sphere...

Serena

I'm sorry, but you simply can't do this! We won't let you!

Erik

Okay, okay. You win...

Erik

We know you well enough by now not to try and talk you out of this.

Erik

But you'd better not mess this up! You go back there and you save her, you hear? Save us all!

Jade

Do what you have to do. We won't stand in your way.

The Timekeeper

The decision is made... Then you must know all that I know...

The Timekeeper

To lose time will be to lose much... But some semblance of your present self will remain...

The Timekeeper

Your memories... The record of your adventures thus far...

The Timekeeper

Your knowledge of battle, and all that you have learned...

The Timekeeper

And last of all...

The Timekeeper

The containers that surround the altar... These are the Time Capsules...

The Timekeeper

These sacred vessels are immune to the flow of time...

The Timekeeper

When you shatter the Sphere, all that you possess will be placed within them...

The Timekeeper

Thus may the items you require journey with you to the past...

The Timekeeper

Alas, there is one item that will not survive the journey: the Sword of Light...

The Timekeeper

But you should retain possession of its twin, the Sword of Shadows.

The Timekeeper

This will surely prove to be a more than worthy weapon for the time being.

The Timekeeper

Now you know all that I know... All else is...unknowable... When you are ready, join me by the Sphere...

The Timekeeper

Step forward, Luminary... And into the past...

Erik

Wait!

Hendrik

When you meet me in the past, we will be enemies again. But know this...

Hendrik

I stand ready to pledge myself to your cause once more! To be your sword, your shield, your unswerving companion!

Sylvando

Yes, yes. Very dramatic Hendrik, honey. Now, if you've quite finished frowning and swearing oaths...

Sylvando

Farewell, darling! I look forward to seeing you...in the past!

Jade

I know you can do this! I know you won't let anything stand in your way!

Jade

And the usses of the past will be there for you whenever you need us!

Jade

Now, if I know your grandfather, he'll have a few words to say before you go...

Rab

Ye've grown into a fine figure of a man, laddie!

Rab

Don't look down now—we'll only be apart a wee while. We're back there waiting for ye after all. Ye'll do us proud, I know ye will!

Rab

How could ye not do? Ye're my own flesh and blood after all! Heh heh heh!

Serena

I... I suppose I began this journey with you feeling that I was simply doing my duty...

Serena

But it became...so much more than that... I'll never forget the time we've spent together.

Serena

So please... (sniff) If you don't mind...

Serena

...I hope you'll take me along with you all over again!

The Timekeeper

The time of departure is upon us... Luminary, take the Sword of Light in hand...

Rab

Wait, laddie!

Erik

This isn't goodbye—not by a long shot!

Erik

See you on the other side!

Take care! And remember—we'll be waiting for you!

Take this cur, this harbinger of calamity,

and cast him into the furthest corner of the dungeon!

Let's do this. I believe in you.

I believe in the Luminary.

We of Arboria swear to protect you.

While we live, none shall defeat you.

Friends! Shipmates! Amigos!

Zwaardsrust and the Rainbough await!

Destiny beckons!

I don't know how Mordegon's planning on achieving eternal life,

but I know one thing: we're going to stop him!

You must defeat him. The fate of our world depends upon it. Good luck.

*: O Serenica, blessed ancestor... The time has come at last for us to fulfil our destiny...

Veronica

We're going to use the Orbs to take the Luminary up to the World Tree, and he's going to awaken the power that will banish the darkness...

Veronica

We've never been up to Yggdrasil before, so we don't know what's up there waiting for us...

Veronica

But no matter what happens, I swear I won't let the Luminary come to harm!

Veronica

He's our light and our hope, and he'll rid our world of darkness, I know he will!

Veronica

Serenica, sage of legend! Lend me your power! Help me fulfil my duty and protect the Luminary!

Veronica

...Oi! What are you doing here!? ...Wait, you weren't listening, were you?

Veronica

What do you think you're up to, waltzing in here with that great ugly thing strapped to your back, anyway? And where in the world have you been?

Veronica

Father Benedictus was talking to us all, and you just upped and disappeared without so much as a by your leave! What were you thinking!?

Veronica

What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? ...Stop staring at me like that, will you? You look like you've seen a ghost!

Veronica

We've got important things to be getting on with! The last thing we need is you acting like a big weirdo! So come on—pull yourself together!

Sylvando

Darling, there you are! We couldn't find you anywhere! Oh, we were so worried about you!

Sylvando

Well, don't look so surprised to see us! We've been right here all along, you know!

Erik

Uh... What's with that sword? You're supposed to be the good guy, remember?

Erik

Heh. Well, whatever floats your boat. Anyway, time to get this show on the road.

Serena

Father Benedictus says we're to take the Orbs and offer them up to the altar at the top of the mountain.

Jade

We need to go through those doors and follow the path through the First Forest, apparently. Shall we get going?

Rab

Aye! Not long now till we get up to the World Tree at long last and finally find out how to get rid of that rotter Mordegon! Let's away!

Jade

So this is the Heart of Yggdrasil? It's strange—I feel like I've been here before...

Erik

I know what you mean... It's...weirdly familiar...

Sylvando

Well, it is the source of all life. I guess that makes sense...

Sylvando

Owww! Well, that's not very nice! The naughty thing gave me a shock!

Rab

Aye, and so it should. I doubt the World Tree would let any but the one who bears Her mark near Her holiest of holies...

Rab

After all, only he can wield the weapon destined to dispel the darkness...the Sword of Light...

Rab

Now, laddie—it's time to reach into the Heart of Yggdrasil and claim your birthright.

Rab

Only you can do it! Only you can save our world!

Jasper

H-How in the...?

Erik

Damn you, Jasper! How did you find us!?

Jasper

Find you? Ha ha! Did you witless vermin not realise I was following you all along?

Jade

What was that!?

Jasper

Now, now, Princess. Such boorish behaviour hardly befits one of your station. Do you not see that you are utterly powerless to stop me?

Jasper

My powers...repelled...? B— How!?

Jasper

Wait—that sword...

Jasper

Very impressive... But it will take more than a showy new weapon to defeat me!

Jasper

Come, Luminary—all of you! Prepare for the end! The Tree of Life shall be your place of death!

*: ...Wakey wakey!

Veronica

...And about time too! You can't laze about all day—we've got to get going!

Veronica

Has no one ever told you it's rude to stare?

Veronica

What? Did you have a bad dream or something? Well, whatever it is, snap out of it!

Serena

Come on! It's time to go up to Yggdrasil and find out how we're going to drive darkness from the world!

Jasper

Ngaaah!

Jasper

No... This cannot be... I cannot be...defeated...

Jasper

I cannot disappoint...my master...

Jasper

Hngh...

King Carnelian

And what do we have here?

*: What has Jasper led us into?

Hendrik

What happened here?

Rab

Yer pal showed his true colours, that's what happened! He's no servant of Heliodor—he's sold his soul to the forces of evil!

Jade

The Luminary is not your enemy! It was Jasper all along!

Jasper

C-Curse...you...

Hendrik

So this is how you repay your king? With treachery?

Jasper

Master... H-Help me...

Jade

(gasp)

King Carnelian

Faithless cur! You would dare to betray me—betray your kingdom!? Death is more than you deserve!

King Carnelian

I am grateful to you, Hendrik. If you had not brought me here, I may never have learned the truth.

King Carnelian

If not for your intervention, who knows how long it might have continued? Who knows how much damage might have been wrought?

Hendrik

I was merely doing my duty, sire. I only wish he had been unmasked sooner.

King Carnelian

It seems I owe you an apology. I have visited a grave injustice upon you.

King Carnelian

It was Jasper who spoke of the Darkspawn. Who poisoned me against you. I see now that all this was merely part of his wicked scheme.

Jade

...Father!

King Carnelian

Oh, ahh... Jade! My beloved daughter! How is it that I did not see you there? Today is a day of surprises indeed! Come! Let me look at you!

King Carnelian

You have suffered greatly, Lord Robert...

King Carnelian

The fall of Dundrasil and all that has happened since were tragic events indeed. But it is time to put them behind us and face the future, would you not agree?

Rab

Sorry, Your Majesty, but I'll be putting nothing behind me until I've dealt with the cause of it all—Mordegon.

King Carnelian

Ah, yes. Mordegon. Doubtless Jasper bent the knee to that fiend...

King Carnelian

I see now that he is the source of the evil that afflicts our world. No doubt he is out there even as we speak, lying low, biding his time...

King Carnelian

But we have the Luminary on our side! Now, you must claim the Sword of Light! The sacred power of Yggdrasil is your birthright! Take it! It is long past time...

King Carnelian

It is beautiful! Magnificent! May I...take a closer look...?

King Carnelian

...Gah!

King Carnelian

Wh-Wh-What was that!?

King Carnelian

Well, no matter. Now that we have the Sword, let us return to Heliodor. We must celebrate your triumph!

Rab

Wait—ye're inviting us back to the castle?

King Carnelian

But of course, Lord Robert. You are the defenders of Yggdrasil. The unmaskers of the traitor Jasper. Your great deeds deserve recognition.

King Carnelian

Well, Luminary? I trust that you will take me up on my invitation?

Hendrik

...I have wronged you. But in time, I will make amends. I swear it.

King Carnelian

We will go ahead and begin the preparations. We look forward to welcoming you in Heliodor.

King Carnelian

Honoured Luminary! It gives me great pleasure to welcome you in the manner you deserve at last!

King Carnelian

To think I once thought ill of you... Saw you as a harbinger of calamity... Called you unconscionable things... Truly, Jasper cast a most malign shadow...

King Carnelian

I owe you a great deal. You have revealed the traitor in our midst, and returned my daughter to me.

King Carnelian

As a small token of my appreciation, I have arranged for some...special visitors. Hendrik, if you would...

Hendrik

Yes, sire.

Gemma

Oh, there you are at last! We've been dying to see you!

Gemma

I was so worried about you! I heard all these horrible stories! I, I thought you...you might be...

Gemma

Right after you left the village, this horrible man called Jasper came with all these soldiers.

Gemma

I'll never forget his eyes—they were so cold. He ordered us all to gather in the middle of the village and then... Then he told his men to kill us all...

Gemma

But Sir Hendrik came to the rescue! He showed up just in the nick of time, and told Jasper to let us live!

Gemma

They still locked us up in the castle, but at least we were safe... And then they came and told us you weren't a baddie after all, and let us go!

Amber

We've been through an awful lot, love. But from what I hear, so have you... I'm proud of you. And so is your grandad, I'm sure.

King Carnelian

Now, let us begin the festivities at last. A banquet worthy of our saviour awaits!

King Carnelian

From this day forth, none shall doubt the Luminary! He shall be honoured! Celebrated! Adored!

*: Huzzah!

*: All hail the Luminary!

<pc> and his companions are the guests of honour at a banquet the likes of which Heliodor has never seen.

The singing, dancing and merriment last long into the night.

Then at last, the revellers retire to bed...

*: ...Argh!

King Carnelian

What is this!? Why can I not touch the sword!? Surely it cannot be...?

King Carnelian

Accursed Luminary! Give it to me! Give me the Sword of Light! It belongs to me!

Jade

What's going on in here?

Hendrik

Princess? What is the meaning of this?

Jade

I knew it! You're not my father! Look at you! You're a monster, not a man!

Rab

Ye, blighter, ye! I had a feeling in my waters that something wasnae quite right with ye, Carnelian!

Erik

So this whole thing was a sham? The banquet, the speeches? Wow, that's cold. So who ARE you?

King Carnelian

Gragh!

Jade

He disappeared!

Veronica

Oi, you! Stop skulking in the shadows! Come out and show your stupid face!

Jade

Something tells me he won't have gone far! Quick, let's search the castle!

Veronica

No more giving us the runaround, you! We've got you cornered!

Serena

Now let the King go and show us your true form, fiend!

*: Hm hm hm hm hm hm! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Mordegon

Unmasked at last! I have been enjoying Carnelian's...hospitality since the day Dundrasil fell.

Mordegon

But the game ends here. I have wasted too much time already waiting for you to lead me to the Sword of Light.

Mordegon

And since I was unable to steal it from you, it seems I must take it by force. Very well. Come to Mordegon like good little lambs...and die!

Rab

Mordegon! So it's you! I've waited years for this day to come!

Hendrik

Not only Jasper, but...His Majesty too...? Your deception shall not go unpunished, devil!

Mordegon

You have been a serviceable puppet over the years, Hendrik. But it is time you joined your wretched kinfolk...in hell!

Hendrik

My... You mean... It was you!? You who...massacred my people...?

Jade

It was all you, wasn't it? The destruction of Dundrasil... The families torn apart...

Jade

You've stolen so much from so many... And now you're going to pay!

Hendrik

I stand with you, Luminary. My loved ones, my countrymen—they must be avenged.

Erik

I'm with you too! This is the guy who's had it in for you all this time, right? Let's show him who he's been messing with!

Mordegon

Well, Luminary? What are you waiting for? Come! Give me your power, that I may rule over this world unopposed!

Mordegon

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

Mordegon

...Hm! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Mordegon

I see...

Mordegon

So be it... But do not think...that you are the only one who has...defied the flow of time...

Mordegon

...Hngh!

*: Ngh...

Jade

Father!

Jade

Father! Are you alright?

King Carnelian

Jade...? Can it...really be you...?

King Carnelian

Have I been...dreaming...? The last I remember is the attack on Dundrasil... After that, all is...black...

King Carnelian

Wait! That mark!

King Carnelian

The child! The Luminary! But...you were a mere babe in arms when I last saw you...

King Carnelian

There is clearly much we need t-to discuss... But you must forgive me... I am still feeling...rather faint...

King Carnelian

(cough cough)

Jade

Father! You mustn't overexert yourself! Come on, let's get you to bed.

Jade

I need to look after him. We'll meet here again tomorrow, alright?

Sylvando

Those two are going to have a lot to catch up on, hm? A lot...

Word soon spreads through the castle that King Carnelian has been under the spell of an evil demon.

While the King recovers, <pc> and his companions get some much-needed rest.

Then, that evening...

King Carnelian

I know the truth now...hard as it was to swallow... The things I did while under the monster's spell are almost too terrible to contemplate.

King Carnelian

If not for you, this kingdom—no, this entire world—would have been turned to ashes. All would have been lost to Mordegon.

King Carnelian

A true hero stands among us! Erdrea is eternally in your debt!

King Carnelian

You are a worthy heir to the legendary Erdwin. Truly, you are the Luminary—our light and our hope!

Erik

We really did it, huh?

Serena

What's the matter, Veronica?

Veronica

I, I don't know... (sob) I just...welled up, all of a sudden... I'm just...glad to be here with all of you, I suppose... Heh... (sniff)

Serena

But where else would you be, you silly thing?

Veronica

Y-You're right... (sniff) I'm being stupid... Sorry.

Veronica

Thank you. For everything.

Erik

What's going on?

Serena

I sense something...awful... Something truly, truly evil... But where is it coming from?

Erik

What was it Mordegon said just before he died?

Erik

Something about...not being the only one who'd defied the flow of time, right? But what did he mean?

*: Your Highness! Please, you must come quickly!

*: It's Erdwin's Lantern!

King Carnelian

What!?

King Carnelian

The balcony, upstairs! Quickly!

King Carnelian

This sky! I have never seen its like!

Veronica

Look! Over there!

Rab

Erdwin's Lantern! It's falling!

*: I N A N O T H E R P L A C E A N D T I M E M O R D E G O N

D E S T R O Y E D M E.

B U T M O R D E G O N I S N O M O R E.

N O W N O N E S T A N D I N M Y W A Y.

N O W I S M Y T I M E.

N O W I A M W H O L E A G A I N.

I A M R E B O R N.

King Carnelian

Erdwin's Lantern has fallen... I fear this bodes ill for us all...

King Carnelian

I dare make this request of no other, Luminary—I must ask that you investigate.

King Carnelian

The great star fell to earth in the Celestial Sands. They can be seen from the Emerald Coast—that must be your first port of call.

Hendrik

Sire, I would ask your leave to join this expedition.

Hendrik

I cannot atone for all that I have done. But perhaps in joining you, I might repay my debt at least in part.

Hendrik

Luminary! I will be your sword, your shield, your unswerving companion!

Hendrik joins the party!

Jade

It... It's enormous!

Erik

You can say that again... What the heck IS it?

Serena

It's giving off...waves...of... Oh, I don't know what, but... Whatever it is, it's certainly not pleasant...

Veronica

Well then it can't be Erdwin's Lantern, can it? ...We need to do something about it, whatever it is. But how do we even get up there?

*: Well, well, dear Luminary... It seems you are in quite the pickle...

Jade

But, how—!?

Erik

Mordegon! You're alive!

*: You're seeing me as Mordegon now, you say? How very intriguing...

*: Well, no need to panic. I'm not Mordegon. It's me—the one you people call the Seer.

Erik

Wait, how can you be the Seer?

The Seer

Oh, anyone can be the Seer, my young friend. Or should I say, the Seer can be anyone. Depends on how you look at things, really.

The Seer

Anyway, we can't have you all on edge like this now, can we? One moment...

The Seer

There. Now, where were we? Ah, yes. I was having a lovely vision of you all riding Cetacea to see the Watchers.

Erik

Umm... What the heck are you talking about?

The Seer

Let's just say that the hallowed tones of the flute of legend will carry you to every corner of the land and leave it at that, shall we?

Sylvando

The what of the what will what!? Honey, you're not making any sense!

The Seer

You don't have much time, you know. I wouldn't stand there gawping like that if I were you.

Veronica

I don't know how legendary it is, but we do have a flute. Do you think this could be the one?<yesno>

Veronica

Well, it's the only one we've got. Can't hurt to give it a go...

Sylvando

Uhh... Is anybody else seeing kind of a...huge, enormous whale, umm...flying through the air?

Serena

Didn't the Seer mention us riding something called Cetacea? Oh my... She couldn't have meant...that, could she?

Veronica

What's that gormless grin for? Anyone would think you went flying around on whales for fun!

Veronica

Well, I'm game if you are!

Veronica

All aboard! We've got a whale to catch and some Watchers to meet!

Erik

This place is insane! Who builds a town on a rock in the sky!?

*: LONG AGO, ALL WAS PEACE. ALL WAS HARMONY. YGGDRASIL BLESSED US. FAITHFUL SERVANTS OF WORLD TREE.

*: BUT SHADOW FELL. HORROR FROM ABOVE.

*: CALASMOS.

*: NOW SHADOW FALLS AGAIN. PERHAPS HE RETURNS. PERHAPS...

*: CALASMOS. DARK ONE. HATER OF LIFE. BRINGER OF DEATH.

*: LUMINARY. CETACEA RIDER. NO TIME. COME. SPEAK WITH ELDER.

Rab

These'll be the Watchers that Seer lassie was on about then, eh?

Hendrik

It seems they know something of the dark star. Come, let us speak with their Elder.

*: THIS ELDER. WISEST WATCHER. EEGOLTAP.

*: ELDER LIVES FOR ALL TIME. SEES ALL. SLEEPS MUCH. WAKES SELDOM.

*: THOUGHT WOULD WAKE FOR LUMINARY. BUT NO.

*: LISTEN. TELL WATCHER STORY. LOOK.

*: ANCIENT TIMES. CALASMOS COMES. SEEKS POWER. POWER OF YGGDRASIL.

*: BRINGS EVIL. MONSTERS. MIASMA. DESTRUCTION.

*: BUT YGGDRASIL SEES. SENDS SAVIOUR.

*: ERDWIN. LUMINARY. ANCESTOR.

*: RIDES CETACEA. CROSSES ERDREA. GATHERS COMPANIONS.

*: DRUSTAN: WARRIOR. SERENICA: SAGE. MORCANT: SORCERER.

*: JOIN FORCES. MAKE SWORD OF LIGHT. LONG BATTLE. DARK ONE DEFEATED. PEACE RETURNS.

Rab

But if they beat him, what's he doing back?

*: .........NOT KNOW.

*: BUT KNOW THIS. YOUR BIRTH. YOUR COMING. YOU ARE LIGHT. LIGHT TO BANISH DARK.

*: BUT HOW? ...NOT KNOW.

*: SEEDLINGS!

*: ELDER! ELDER WAKES!

*: ELDER SPEAKS! SILENCE! LISTEN!

Eegoltap

SEEDLINGS OF YGGDRASIL. SEEDLINGS KNOW ALL.

*: SEEDLINGS! YES!

*: GIVE GIFT! FOLLOW! TEMPLE OF DAWN!

*: SEEDLINGS ANCIENT. SACRED. PROTECT LAND. REMEMBER.

*: SEEDLING HERE REMEMBER. BUT NOT DARK ONE. NOT HOW TO BEAT.

*: BUT SEEDLINGS BELOW. ON LAND. THREE SEEDLINGS. THESE TOO REMEMBER. PERHAPS HOW TO BEAT. PERHAPS...

*: GUIDING LIGHT HERE. RAISE HAND.

Jade

Wait, the Mark...

Erik
