| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * That crystalline path─G'raha has paved it for us.
| |
| * Difficult as it is, we must carry on. For our friends, and all who await us in faith.
| |
| * So come, let us seek the path's beginning. It appears to be near the outpost.
| |
| * Look, Player. A portal has opened.
| |
| * It will surely deliver us true. It must.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * Well, here is where the path begins. And it ascends to dizzying heights...
| |
| * Let us make our way, one sure step at a time.
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * Our friends got us this far. Their courage, their strength. Their wisdom. Their love.
| |
| * We owe it to them to continue. No matter how long it takes...
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * ...Thancred would scout the road ahead. Y'shtola and Urianger would trade opinions on esoteric subjects.
| |
| * G'raha would join in their discussion, or else chat with me and Alisaie about the mission. Estinien would be at the rear, apart yet present.
| |
| * All the while you would come and go. Wherever you are needed. And together, we would travel...
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * All I can hear are my footfalls. My heartbeat. It's so much quieter now...
| |
| * But the fact we can breathe and continue on is proof that the others are still with us.
| |
| * They are... They are... Aren't they...?
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * The portal is barely visible from up here.
| |
| * ...Truly, we've come far. Much farther than would have been possible had we kept chasing perfect ideals as we did in the past.
| |
| * It is because we have known failure and frustration─that we have learned and grown from them─that Hydaelyn has entrusted us with this mission. With the fate of the very star.
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * It's all a dream, isn't it...? A long, elaborate dream...
| |
| * Any moment now, I'll wake up in my bed. Still a student. Grandfather alive. I'd go about my day, relieved as the fragments of that other life fade away...
| |
| * And that would be happiness...wouldn't it? That none of it... No. No, I won't give up these experiences. Good and bad, they are mine. They are me.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * Rest assured I am fine...but thank you for your concern. What of yourself? Though we can't afford to be too leisurely, neither need we rush unduly.
| |
| * We've crossed an impossible distance to stand where we are now, and we're but a few steps away from journey's end. It will be over before we know it.
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * Me...? Oh, I still have plenty of legs left in me, don't you worry. It's you I'm worried about.
| |
| * You always push yourself so hard for us─for everyone. And while we're here, we'll make sure to bear our share of the burden.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * Well, this is it. The end of the path, and the beginning of whatever awaits.
| |
| * There will be greater hardships. We may be made to feel powerless.
| |
| * Yet come what may, let us have no regrets. No, let us have pride in what we have achieved.
| |
| * In what we achieved, and how it changed us for the better... That's worth fighting for. And dying for. As they did...
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * There are some structures up ahead. Still a ways to go before we reach the dead sun...
| |
| * Given...all this...I know how naive it must sound to hope it all works out somehow.
| |
| * Still, you'll forgive me if I wish for it all the same. And for you most of all.
| |
| * Not that you of all people need it. It's just...after all the help you've given me, for once I want to be the one to help you.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * This is almost...
| |
| | |
| Alisaie:
| |
| * Normal? It's not unlike many cities we know. But it's deathly quiet...
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * Mayhap the inhabitants are within the buildings. Or invisible to our senses.
| |
| | |
| ???:
| |
| * Wrong on both counts. There is simply no one here.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * Meteion!
| |
| | |
| Meteion:
| |
| * This is how I found it when I arrived. Another star which once pulsed with life, but no longer.
| |
| * How it ended, I do not know. Invasion, sickness, suicide─none can say.
| |
| * None lived to speak for the dead. They are gone. Gone. Search all you like, but you'll only end up turning back.
| |
| | |
| Alphinaud:
| |
| * If there is no one here, then neither should there be emotion to bar our way.
| |
| * Yet Meteion seems convinced we'll turn back. What riddle is this...?
