Semih Lafihna : ......
Semih Lafihna : ...PLAYERNAME.
Semih Lafihna : You've received the mission briefing?
Semih Lafihna : The situation has become volatile. The Yagudo are screaming that Windurst has broken one of the clauses of the peace treaty.,br>
Semih Lafihna : There is a passage in the treaty that states the central magic tower in West Sarutabaruta shall not be reactivated without the prior agreement of both parties.
Semih Lafihna : Apparently it did not escape the beady eyes of the Yagudo when Ajido-Marujido awoke the tower using the Mana Orbs.
Semih Lafihna : Now they're demanding we give them control of the Horutoto Ruins to make amends for our break in faith.
Semih Lafihna : It's obvious those feathered devils want to establish a base rrright under Windurst's nose, but it'll be a cold day in Kazham before I ever let something like that happen...
Semih Lafihna : ......
In any event, the rescue of the Star Sibyl comes first and foremost. Let us go and meet with Ajido-Marujido.
Ajido-Marujido : ...
Apururu : Semih Lafihna...
Semih Lafihna : Apururu!?
If you're here, then you must have...
Apururu : ...Yes.
I heard from my dear brother...of the fate that has befallen the Star Sibyl...
Apururu : The Manustery is responsible for all this! I mustaru apologize, Semih Lafihna... To the Star Sibyl... To everyone...
Semih Lafihna : Raise your head, Apururu. This is not your fault.
Semih Lafihna : I was the one who took the Star Sibyl down to the Full Moon Fountain while unknown terrors stalked the shadows. I accept full responsibility.
Apururu : Semih Lafihna...
Ajido-Marujido : That "terror" is not unknown to us.
Ajido-Marujido : The bearer of darkness is mostaru likely the resurrected Karaha-Baruha.
Semih Lafihna : What are you saying!?
Ajido-Marujido : ...The research left here was extremely thorough. A perfectaru theory that surpassed all other systems of magic to stand at the pinnacle of achievement.
Semih Lafihna : A shared existence...
Apururu : And that is why Joker has taken control of the Full Moon Fountain. But why hold the Star Sibyl captive?
Semih Lafihna : For revenge!?
Semih Lafihna : If, as you say, part of the bearer of darkness is the Great Beast, it must blame the Star Sibyl for its death.
Semih Lafihna : Was its hate for the Star Sibyl what brought it to Heavens Tower...?
Ajido-Marujido : Of that, we can'taru be certain. When Joker's wish is fulfilled and the bearer of darkness returns to the Full Moon Fountain, there is no telling what will happen.
Ajido-Marujido : However, to keep the Star Sibyl from harm, we mustaru do as Joker requests.
Semih Lafihna : But how?
Semih Lafihna : There is no way we can force the bearer of darkness to return to the fountain. It comes and goes in the blink of an eye, and our attacks are completely ineffective against it.
Ajido-Marujido : Leave that to me. There is one method of luring the part that is Fenrir back to the Full Moon Fountain.
Ajido-Marujido : This method entails using the song of the ancient Kuluu that is mentioned in the Book of the gods. The Kuluu had apparentaruly forged a pact with the avatars.
Ajido-Marujido : The three verses of the song are kept in three separate ruins...
Ajido-Marujido : PLAYERNAME, we need you to travel to Ro'Maeve, the Chamber of Oracles, and the Temple of Uggalepih to collect those verses.
Ajido-Marujido : I don'taru know what form they will take, but they should at leastaru be recognizable as a legacy left for suceeding generations.
Ajido-Marujido : Semih Lafihna, go to Chieftainess Perih Vashai and explain the situation.
Ajido-Marujido : If something should happen to the Star Sibyl, the Tarutaru will completaruly lose their marbles, not to mention their will to fight.
Ajido-Marujido : And you can bet the Yagudo will choose that exactaru moment to attack. Windurst will be annihilated before you can spit outaru "deranged, drooling dhalmels"...
Ajido-Marujido : The Mithra must be ready to take the front line in such a battle. Your strength and prowess will be sorely needed, Semih Lafihna.
Semih Lafihna : ...I understand. I will confer with Chieftainess Perih Vashai and prepare for a Yagudo attack.
Semih Lafihna : But do you utmost to make sure that such an attack doesn't happen, Minister Ajido-Marujido...
Ajido-Marujido : And lastaruly...
Apururu, we awere talking about the possibility of disabling the Cardians. Can it really be done?
Apururu : ...Yes, I believe it can. If the mana orbs within the Cardians are struck with a strong enough blasty-wast of the Stars and the Moon, the motive systems will be distruptarued.
Apururu : This disruption will only last a short while, but during that time they will be completely doozy-woozy and unable to act.
Ajido-Marujido : A sliver-wiver of time in which to rescue the Star Sibyl...
Ajido-Marujido : But where do we find such a source of power? And will you be capable of wielding it?
Apururu : Don't worry about me, dear brother! I learned a few things while you were lostaru to us!
Ajido-Marujido : Hrmph. Taught a few black arts by a certain Tarutaru is more like it.
Apururu : No...nothing like that! Rightaru, I must be going!
Ajido-Marujido : Don't go hurting yourself, Apururu.
(Something just doesn't make sense...)
(Karaha-Baruha... How could a genius like you not realize the art of complete summoning would rob you of your life?)
(But if you had forseen that outcome, what if you had predictarued this entire scenario...?)
Ajido-Marujido: ...!
Semih Lafihna: ...Star Sibyl!!!
Ajido-Marujido: Joker!
Ajido-Marujido: We have broughtaru together the verses that bind the Great Beast and the ancient people!
Ajido-Marujido: With this song, the bearer of darkness will be drawn here from any distance.
Ajido-Marujido: We have grantarued your wish. Now return to us the Star Sibyl!
Joker: ...The ancient people... You speak of the Kuluu...
Joker: Very well. You may approach. Let us have play the song.
Ajido-Marujido: , the rest is up to you. No mattaru what happens, you must protect the Star Sibyl.
Joker: .... Our guiding star. You have braved much to reach this point.
Joker: You have navigated a galaxy of stars to bring light to the land of hope.
Joker: It was the wish of the Star Sibyl that began this epic tale. But it is you who must realize the truth.
Joker: It was your will that led us to this moment...
Joker: Your brilliant incandescence will show the way. Call the Stars and the Moon to this place once more.
The three verses you collected begin to play together. When the song ends, the Bearer of Darkness appears on the opposite end of the fountain.
Joker: ...You have come. (He wheels forward.)
Joker: We who have been divided...
Joker: Will become whole once more...
Ajido-Marujido: ...Th-this...!? This is...summoning magic...!?
The bearer of darkness stands in the center of the fountain, struggling with a ball of energy around him. He raises his staff defiantly, and the four Ace Cardians begin to spasm and groan.
The Cardians: Un*GH...! Un*GH...!
Joker: Enough! You will cease this...!
Semih Lafihna fires her bow toward the Aces as Apururu prepares a spell.
Apururu: Be still, my children!
A bright light appears, and the Cardians fall to the ground. The bearer of darkness summons a manticore and a wyvern. You turn to face the two monsters in battle...
After defeating the two monsters, you stand with Ajido, who is looking up toward the bearer of darkness.
Ajido-Marujido: , we've done it! He's been weakened enough... (He turns.)
Ajido-Marujido: Dammitaru, the Cardians are waking up!
Joker: ...You have nothing to fear. My divided self no longer has the power to control them.
Joker: I leave the rest in your hands. Star Sibyl, when we have all joined as one, I will have a new promise from you...
Joker: A new wish. A wish made to the Stars and Moon that illumine the heavens.
Star Sibyl: I understand...Great Beast...
Joker approaches the edge of the fountain. A beam of light shoots out of him, and all of the other Cardians in the room begin to glow.
Semih Lafihna: ...What is going on...!?
Apururu: The spirits of the Cardians... They're merging together...!?
Light fills the room, and suddenly the Cardians are unconscious. A large glowing light is hovering above the fountain's center.
Ajido-Marujido: ...! Star Sibyl! Joker, he's...!
Star Sibyl: The light... A star of hope will be born from that radiance... (She walks to the edge and begins a prayer.)
Star Sibyl: Stars and the Moon, heed my wish...
The fountain fills with water, a column of which rises straight into the air, connecting to the device at the top. The Star Sibyl begins to float several feet in the air.
Star Sibyl: Bless this land with the protection of Fenrir...
Fenrir appears, and howls...
Ajido-Marujido: . The Star Sibyl is resting. The ceremony at the Full Moon Fountain has drained her. It will probably be some time before she recovers. Along with Joker, all of the Cardians that were in that place have returned to nothing more than ordinary puppets. The power that was stored in their Mana Orbs, the small amountaru of that same energy left in the fountain, and the magic of the Star Sibyl's Diza Star... All of that was used to revive the Great Beast, Fenrir.
Ajido-Marujido: That is the Moon Reading... The power to grantaru wishes. It may take some time until Fenrir is back to his legendary strength, however... Windurst has regained the protection of the Stars and Moon. Our fair land will once again be visitarued by serene, twinkling evenings and peaceful dreams.
Semih Lafihna: Ajido-Marujido. .
Ajido-Marujido: Semih Lafihna. You're back. I bet those Yagudo were screeching for blood.
Semih Lafihna: Yes, that's why I went to slap them across their collective beaks with their "rrrevisions." Now that the Great Beast is back, they won't be trying to get their filthy talons on the Horutoto Ruins.
Ajido-Marujido: They're a careful bunch, that's for sure. Now that the Ace Cardians are gone, we can assume they'll hold back on abolishing the peace treaty as well. But you know they won'taru give up on the ruins that easily.
Semih Lafihna: That is true. But we no longer have any reason to cower from them... The Star Sibyl has been freed... ...Isn't that right, Ajido-Marujido?
Ajido-Marujido: She has found us a new guiding star. It's strange, but I feel like I've been freed as well... Freed from the spell Karaha-Baruha had over me. It was almostaru as if I was having my strings pulled by the research left behind by the great genius... My theory is that he had predictarued a talented mage like myself would come to prominence after his death.
Apururu: You flattaru yourself, dear Brother. Karaha-Baruha was more likely aware that a naive, shory-wort-tempered wizard like you would come along eventually.
Ajido-Marujido: What's with you, Apururu? You've got a smartaru mouth on today. Things never would've gotten this bad if you wishy-washy slowpokes at the Manustery had done something about the rogue Cardians earlier.
Apururu: Hmph. Keep talking to me like that, and you'll never get your Orastery Ring back.
Ajido-Marujido: Ah, finally. Without that ring, I can'taru get into the Minister's Chambers. Not being able to get into my own room is going to do wonders for my reputation as a formitable spell-slinger!
Semih Lafihna: , what was that Joker said to you? "It was your will that led us to this moment." It was your resolution that brought a new beginning for a Windurst that had lost its future. Where will your determination take you next, I wonder? Your actions could affect all of us here in Windurst--and those across the breadth of Vana'diel. What do you want to accomplish?
Semih Lafihna: ...Hehehe. There's no need to answer that. The time will come when your determination will bring the answers you need.
Ajido-Marujido: If you need any more work, come on over to the Orastery. We have the budgetaru to employ one or two more people for experimental purposes. There are a few spells I learned from the Book of the Gods I've been dying to try. I guarantee it will be a fascinataruing experience.
Apururu: And you could lend us a hand to bring in all the roguey-wogue Cardians still wandering around in the Horutoto Ruins. See you soon, adventurer!
Semih Lafihna: It's time I should be going as well. Don't forget to visit the Star Sibyl before you leave. Before taking her rest, she mentioned she wanted to talk with you. Well, . Until the day we once again fight side by side, may the fire in your eyes never fade...
