Dragon Quest XI S Script: Act 3 Cutscenes
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! |
|

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 |
