- Zero is already contemplating your next move.
- Now that the embers have settled on Khadga, Zero suggests returning to Meghaduta. There is much to discuss with your comrades.
- Estinien suspects Golbez is desperate for time to carry out his plans without interference, meaning it is imperative you find a way back to the void as quickly as possible. Wishing to explore alternative methods of crossing the rift, Y'shtola departs to Sharlayan to carry out her research. Estinien, meanwhile, intends to find productive ways to occupy his time, as should you.
- Varshahn thanks you once more for all you have done to aid in his search for Azdaja. Until such time as Y'shtola returns, he bids you rest and prepare, for an arduous journey awaits when next you venture unto the void.
There's nothing more for us here. What of Alzadaal's Legacy? Has there been word from Y'shtola and the others?
I see... Frustrating, perhaps, but better that the gate be destroyed than used to unleash more voidsent.
We should return to Meghaduta and rejoin the others.
|
It seems the others are already inside. Let's join them. |
It is good to see you both returned hale and whole.
Your friends arrived not long ago, and are already with the satrap. Shall I show you in?
|
 Voiced cutscene start.
|
Thank goodness you're both all right.
Unfortunately, we have nothing further to report apart from the loss of the gate.
But tell us─how did you fare on the mountain?
Golbez aspires to deliver voidsent unto the Source...
Where they may die and return to the Lifestream to be reborn. |
|
Far be it from me to deny them, but the cost to our people would be beyond unconscionable.
|
|
Indeed. Voidsent themselves are inherently dangerous, never mind the chaos sure to follow should the barrier 'twixt our worlds be shattered. 'Twould be naught less than a calamity.
|
What will you say?
| We can't let that happen.
|
Giw can we prevent his?
|
|
Certainly not. That said, our task has been rendered rather difficult.
|
|
|
The simplest way would, of course, be to strike at Golbez himself. That said, our task has been rendered rather difficult.
|
|
|
Indeed... Rubicante hath deprived us of a means to cross into the void.
|
|
Cagnazzo's feint. That was doubtless what he meant when he said his part was done.
|
|
Golbez sacrificed two archfiends just to stop us. He must need more time to break the barrier to our world.
|
|
Then the days ahead will be critical. We must find a way back to the Thirteenth.
|
We could employ another Atomos, but that approach would only be viable if we found another planar fissure. An unlikely prospect.
Better we explore other avenues.
If you will excuse my absence, I shall return to Sharlayan to look for information. |
|
By all means. Meanwhile, I shall seek the counsel of our alchemists.
|
|
Time is of the essence, so─wish me luck.
|
|
I'm no scholar. I'll find another way to keep myself busy here.
|
What will you say?
| Y'shtola alone will be more a match for those tomes.
|
How about a little training to keep your lance arm honed?
|
|
I don't doubt it. She's a veritable “Researcher of Light.”
|
|
|
Heh, rest assured I never shirk my training. I will be ready for whatever awaits.
|
|
|
Zero. May we call upon thee when next we venture unto the Thirteenth?
|
Aye. And in case you're wondering, I won't ask for further payment.
I will go for myself. To try and understand why I spoke the words I said to Rubicante...
And the fire I felt within when you all came to my aid in Garlemald. |
|
While our esteemed sorceress battles her tomes, let us see to our own affairs.
|
|
I will not fail you again, Sister...
|
| Voiced cutscene end.
|
Before you leave, I would once more express my gratitude.
By your hand has Thavnair been saved yet again.
But before you delivered my people, you helped me rediscover hope. When the sight of my sister's eye left me bereft and adrift for a time.
We may have lost the gate in Alzadaal's Legacy, but there must be another way to travel to the void. And together, we will find it.
For now, I bid you rest and recover your strength. I, too, shall have my vessel improved ahead of our next foray.
To achieve his ends, Golbez has sacrificed his four generals. Such a ruthless foe is unpredictable in the extreme. But no matter what he plots, we shall do our utmost to see that he does not succeed.

System
Meanwhile, on the moon in the Thirteenth
|
Cagnazzo and Rubicante have joined with the great flow...
In this world, 'tis the ravenous who are useful. And few were as ravenous as they.
You were fine pawns, my archfiends, and you have played your parts to perfection.
But with the goal in sight, I need no minions to do my bidding.
Hereon, I shall walk alone.
At long, long last...the end draws nigh.
The end to life on that star. And the end to my suffering...
