Lunpa Fortress

Dialogue strings

Hey, hey! Who are you! That's strange. I've been on watch this whole time, so how did you get here? Regardless, no one is allowed in! That's right. No one is allowed in! Off with you now! Off, I say! Who are you? How did you get in here? No matter! You're on your way out now! And don't come back! Huh? I could swear I just heard someone! You're crazy! Still, this place is kind of creepy. I never did like it here! Ain't nobody gettin' in! I don't even know why we have to stay on guard all the time. Hammet, the great merchant of Kalay, is our best source of income. I will keep you safe no matter what happens. Z-z-z-z Z-z-z-z-z... It's so warm today! My eyes are getting heavy. Dodonpa's orders are absolute! No one will ever get by me and into the fortress! Sigh. It's too bad I couldn't go to Tolbi this year. I wonder how Colosso turned out. That's strange!? I could swear there's someone right nearby...! Maybe it's just 'cause I'm so tired. I'll take care of anybody that might show up! I was told to stand guard, so I am, but I'm actually a coward! I'm serious! I just hope no one shows up on my watch. Who is disrupting my sleep??? Who is disrupting my sleep??? Who is disrupting my sleep??? Hey! Intruder! You think you're going any farther? Sorry, but you're gonna have to fight your way through. Huh? Who's that? You're pretty bold to come charging into a den of thieves. But your luck ran out when you ran into me! Show me your stuff! Is my shift up already? ...Wait a minute! Who are you? I've never seen you before! Intruder! Come on! You'll have to deal with me! You scoundrel! Dodonpa always said you'd come, and here you are! If I stop you here, Dodonpa will finally reward me! What a stroke of luck! My time has finally come! Poor, poor Donpa. Dodonpa's behavior is driving him into despair. Donpa can't last much longer like this... Nearly all of these women were brought here against their will, like me. Sigh. I want to go back to my hometown just one more time. Wh-Wh-Who goes there! Wh-Who are you? You don't look nearly as mean as the thieves in the fortress. Did you sneak into Lunpa Fortress in search of something? The great merchant Hammet? I'd tell you if I knew, but I don't. Who would sneak into such a dangerous place just for fun? I won't tell anyone, but you should leave before the guards find you. Maybe that merchant is the reason they've closed off the lower caves... If Donpa dies, Dodonpa will be even more... I get scared just thinking about it. I know Donpa would let us go if he were well... I hope he gets better soon! Who are you!? Could this be the guy who's come to get Hammet back? Yeah! I bet he is! What a bold rascal! Dodonpa will be livid if we lose Hammet! We're really going to be in for it if we let these kids get away. You're not going any farther! Not without some serious bruises, anyway! You guys are tougher than we thought—we'll let you go this time. Get outta here. All right, all right. We give up! If you're here for Hammet, he's down in the cave! Go get him already! Owww! Hey! Don't hurt me again, you thieving scoundrel! I hate your guts. Go down to the cave and save your precious Hammet. Who'd have thought they'd be so tough? We never shoulda fought 'em. Hammet's down in that treacherous cave. They won't be able to save him, though... They'll see. At least those punks won't find the switch that opens the door. Heh heh! It's hidden too well in the wall! Donpa is supposed to be old. I wonder what he's fighting with in the fortress. That's why he's been in poor form and spends his time resting. What are you going to do? Where could Dodonpa be? He's not in his room, but he couldn't have left. Whee! Thanks to Hammet we can enjoy food and drink all day long! With Hammet here, we can milk as much money as we want out of Kalay. He's a money tree for us, hic! Is there anyone in the fortress who can face Donpa in battle? No one is allowed into the cave to find out. Dodonpa's wife was looking for him, but she can't find him anywhere. We can eat all we like! It was all bought with the money from Kalay! I love gorging myself for free! As long as we have Hammet, all of Kalay's earnings will be ours. Z-z-z-z... Z-z-z-z... Father...I'm so sorry about Dodonpa. Someone will teach him a lesson someday. Shhh! Please don't wake Donpa! He's been driven to despair after battling a terrible foe. It is all because of that Dodonpa! Are you the one who Donpa said would come to punish Dodonpa? Donpa has waited a very long time for you. Oh, you're not? Well...can you do it anyway? Someone has to do it! Donpa knows that he coddled Dodonpa too much as a child. It pains him so much. He can't die with things the way they are. Maybe if Dodonpa's eyes are opened, Lunpa will be a good place again. If someone would punish Dodonpa, I'm sure Donpa would offer a reward. He might even give that person Dodonpa's ill-gotten goods. Do you know where Dodonpa is? Really? That's fine, as long as he's in the fortress. Sigh. Don't tell me he's gone off, trying to relive his youth again... I take my eyes off him for a minute, and he's off chasing a new sweetheart. Papa misbehaves and makes Mama worry. I have to be good so Mama won't have to worry so much. Papa always gets friendly with the ladies when Mama's not lookin'. That's why Mama always keeps a sharp eye on Papa. Dodonpa's child is so well behaved, I can't believe he's his father's son! It's a pity that child can't have an innocent childhood. We've already decided that Donpappa will be Dodonpa's successor! At least that tradition won't change! When my Papa's gone, I, Donpappa, shall protect Lunpa myself. I'm not going to marry anyone like my Papa when I grow up! Being watched by Donpappa makes me feel like I'm being judged. Isaac pulled the switch. Is it time to eat? ...Who are you? Hammet... Ivan, is that you? These people... Are they friends of yours? Then it would appear your journey has begun, Ivan. I am a little late, but I have come to save you. You shouldn't have risked yourself, Ivan. Hold it right there! Dodonpa! Sorry to interrupt your teary little reunion, Hammet! This must be your little rat, Ivan—you always did claim he'd rescue you! Look at him. He's just a child! But to think these kids could get this far! Hey, yeah! If we're just kids, what does that make your pathetic thugs? What kind of scum takes ransom money and then doesn't free his hostage? I see. So, you've been extorting money from Layana, have you? Now that we've found Hammet, we'll be taking him home! I'm afraid I can't let you do that. Hammet is what I like to call my little money tree. You dirty scoundrel! Name-calling won't help you! I'm not giving Hammet up! Dodonpa pulled a lever. This little trap here marks the end of your good fortune! Prepare to become monster fodder! Back for more? I guess you didn't learn your lesson! Dodonpa pulled a lever. Go ahead-keep trying! You'll never win! Prepare to become monster fodder! Uhnn! Get it off me! How did Dodonpa get trapped under the monster? He tried to pull another dirty trick on you! When Dodonpa saw his monster was losing, he tried to get behind you. Just a second longer, and you'd have been history! You dirty snake! Dodonpa, you are rotten to the core! Yeah, OK! I'm sorry! Now, get this thing off of me! "Get this thing off of me"!? I don't know. That thing looks awfully heavy for us kids to lift. What should we do, Isaac? Should we try to move it? I agree. What do you think, Hammet? I think we have to try, at least. There. You should be able to get up now! I... I can't. Did you break your leg or something? It's not broken... I should be able to stand after a bit. Thank goodness... What do you mean, "thank goodness"!? Didn't he just try to kill us? Can't we just forgive and forget? Dodonpa kidnapped you, remember!? Oh, that's right... Get a grip, you guys! But Hammet is safe now, isn't he? Yeah, but do you really think Dodonpa will reform if Hammet forgives him? Hmm... I wonder... How about it, Dodonpa? He already said he wouldn't do anything! Of course, he's going to say that! He wants us to forgive him! What do you think we should do with him, Garet? We should lock him up here, just like he did to Hammet. No! How can you be so cruel! Oh? And yet you have no problem being that cruel to Hammet! What should we do, Isaac? Should we lock Dodonpa up? Serves the little punk right! Just leave him here like this for a while! Dad! Dodonpa... You pitiful wretch. I always told you that if you did evil to others... others would do evil to you. You must right all of the misdeeds you've done! I feel bad for spoiling you. Look at the trouble it has caused... See! It's all your fault that all this happened! Yes, which is why this is going to hurt you more than it does me! You're not serious, are you, Dad? I most certainly am! You're going to spend some time here thinking about all that you've done! Dodonpa has caused you all sorts of trouble, hasn't he? No, not at all! I must apologize deeply for all of this. Thank you, Donpa, but you do not need to apologize. Then you forgive me? I am sorry about the trouble, but I do have one request. A request? I don't know how you got in here, but please leave by the same means. Huh? Donpa, didn't you just say you're going to lock up Dodonpa? So we shouldn't have to sneak around, should we? Some of Dodonpa's henchmen are still loyal to him. I'm ashamed to say it, but they won't listen to any of my orders. This new gang of thieves will attack Hammet if they find him in the fortress. And they may come to check his cell, right? I see. Then they'd free Dodonpa, wouldn't they? And then he'd head straight for Kalay seeking his revenge! I see. Yes, you're right. It would be terrible if Kalay were attacked. That's why you must go while you still can! You mean immediately? I heard of your intrusion, so I spread some rumors through the fortress. Rumors? I said brigands had snuck in to kidnap Hammet, but failed and ran off. Why in the world did you do that? Now, they won't let anyone down here at all. Plus, many of Dodonpa's men have left to find the intruders. Donpa, you are a shrewd one! I just thought I'd try to help however I could... With Dodonpa's henchmen gone, this is our chance to escape, right? Why did I even bother asking? Let's get a move on! The next time you meet Dodonpa, he will be a changed man. I get it already! I won't do anything wrong! Come on, let me go! Isaac! Don't be stupid! We can't go in there, remember? A large contingent of Dodonpa's henchmen have left the fortress. It's gotten colder... I'm shiverin' just standin' here. They say there were intruders in the fortress. Just daring to try such a thing is impressive! Do you want to know what caused the commotion at the fortress? Someone snuck into the fortress to save the merchant Hammet! In the end, they failed, so they just ran away. They're foolhardy to invade such a well-guarded fortress! But it would be pretty neat if they got away with it. Dodonpa's henchmen have gotten their share of bumps and bruises! They've been acting real tough, lately, but they're nothing special. Apparently, Donpa told Dodonpa's henchmen about the intruders. I guess when it comes right down to it, Donpa is on Dodonpa's side. They say that Dodonpa's henchmen were defeated. Hearing that makes me feel like all my problems have washed away! The fortress was under strict guard. Just who were those people that snuck inside? Don't come any closer to the fortress! I've seen that man with you before. Nah, that's impossible. I must be thinking of somebody else. How did the warriors from Kalay get into the fortress? Man, did we get in trouble for that! I'm sure I've seen that man with them before! I wonder what Dodonpa's henchmen are up to? Look how far winter has come already! Whoever snuck into the fortress is in for some trouble. Poor guys. I'm amazed anyone could sneak into such a well-guarded fortress! It's really funny to see Dodonpa's henchmen in such a panic! No matter how evil he is, he's still Donpa's son. I guess Donpa would still do anything for Dodonpa, huh? I was so mad when Dodonpa's thugs took my candy away. That is the only way into or out of the fortress. I don't see how anyone could get in there without being seen. Hmmm. That guy who's following them sure looks like that merchant. But I only caught a glimpse of him, so I'm not real sure. I don't get it. We were on guard the whole time! Nobody got by us! Apparently, a traveling merchant stopped by on business recently. He wasn't allowed into the village, of course. The merchant who comes every winter was the one arguing at the gate. Sigh. I'd like to buy something, but no one's allowed into the village! That poor merchant. They won't let him into the village now. That's one stubborn merchant. He's still hanging around the outskirts of town. I saw a strange, shimmering creature go into the fortress. Do you know what it was? I don't care what they say, I don't believe it! A shimmering creature going into the fortress!? Could that shimmering beast be the cause of all the commotion? Monsters hardly ever come into town. Now, they expect me to believe one snuck into the fortress? What!? The eruption of Mt. Aleph released hordes of monsters? I get the feeling things are going to get worse before they get better. Gramps has been really cryptic lately. He told me Mt. Aleph's eruption was an omen of a great flood. I hate that! I heard hordes of monsters appeared right before the great flood. I hope the recent troubles aren't a sign of another flood! Great floods don't happen every day, you know! The end is near! Doom is upon us! To arms! To arms! Once they're gone, they're gone, so buy 'em while they last! All those weapons, but I doubt Dodonpa's henchmen can use them! What do you think? I've got some incredible products here, huh? Buy whatever you like! Once I sell this armor, I'm closing shop... It's kind of a pity... The weapons and armor vendors are looking desperate. The stuff they're selling now is the last of their stock. It isn't just the weapons vendors whose inventory is falling! We're almost out of products too! Do you want rest in our inn? I see. In that case, go ahead and stay. I won't ask why. Well, do as you like. Feel free to stay here anytime you like. Are you Donpa's guest? So, you're the one we were told to give the royal treatment to! Oh, you're supposed to visit Donpa again once the guests have left. Really, you're not? Well, then, who is Donpa's guest? What's with the boss? He told me to air out the guest-room bedding and change the sheets. I just gave the boss a letter Dodonpa sent from the fortress. Now, suddenly, he wants me to start cooking up a storm. Are we expecting guests? I guess some really important guests of Donpa's are coming. All I know is five young warriors are coming, but I've never met them. I can't imagine Donpa's guests being anyone but these folks. If they don't show up, all my work will have been for nothing! With the village closed, I wonder if those guests will even come. I heard Donpa was sick, but he seemed to be in pretty good shape. A number of Dodonpa's men set out not too long ago. I wonder what sort of evil deeds they'll perpetrate this time. Please strike down Dodonpa's henchmen with a bolt from the blue... Oh no! I'm supposed to be spreading good will, but now I've gone and cursed them. Lunpa Fortress is a mass of confusion right now. If you don't want to get hurt, be off with you! Be off now! They never let the merchants come into the village! I don't know you guys from Adam! You think I'm going to let you in? These guys couldn't be the ones that got into the fortress, could they? This lazy-looking mug? No way! That merchant was desperate to do business in the village. I'm sure he's around somewhere, but I doubt he's causin' any trouble! I think I saw someone just now. Yeah. I saw something, too. Do you think Dodonpa's henchmen have found us? If they have, we'll have to take care of them right now! Huh? You think there's something else out there!? Just a moment! Is that you, Bunza? Gasp! That voice! It's Hammet! So, Dodonpa never had any intention of releasing Hammet? That's right. That's why Ivan and his friends came to the rescue! Once Isaac made up his mind, we all decided to come save Hammet. Hey, Ivan! Are you saying this was all Isaac's idea? N-No! I mean, you and Mia helped us, too! Thank you, Isaac, Garet, and Mia. And, of course, you, too, Ivan! You sure did a good job finding this cave, Bunza. Yes! Impressive work you did, Bunza! It was pure coincidence. I really didn't want to come to Lunpa. Because we knew the thieves had Hammet imprisoned... Then why did you come here? I recalled what Hammet told me about being a successful merchant. Really? He told you that you should start trading in Lunpa? No, I meant his more general words of wisdom... "Merchants must not judge customers on their appearances." "Do not avoid a place just because something unpleasant may happen." "As long as customers await your goods, you must do everything in your power to sell to them!" So, you came to serve the villagers, even though you despised Dodonpa? Fate put this opportunity before you. But why did you think a Kalay merchant would be permitted into Lunpa? I didn't. And, in fact, they would not let me in. Yet, knowing that, you still came? But you know what? There was that huge commotion, right? He must mean the activity caused by Donpa's rumors! It all came together for me... That commotion was related to Hammet! I had to find out what was going on... And that's how you found this cave? I'll bet you couldn't find any way to get that gate open from this side. But then all of a sudden, it moved, so I hid behind a rock. We startled you, didn't we, Bunza? I am just glad you were able to get Hammet out safely! Why do you say it like that, Bunza? Dodonpa's henchmen have been combing the area... Even if they aren't after Hammet, if they find him... They might capture Hammet again! Let's get out of here, quickly! But we have to escape without being seen by Dodonpa's henchmen... What should we do, Isaac? Should we stay and fight? Saving Hammet from that fortress was dangerous enough... Taking them all on is more foolhardy than invading their fortress. Then what should we do, Bunza? I have a wagon nearby. A wagon? That's right. Let's all go back to Kalay in my wagon. Won't a wagon stand out? If it were searched by Dodonpa's henchmen... There's no need to worry. I've been here since before the commotion. Right. They've already seen your wagon around... That's correct, Garet. They don't suspect me of being involved! Then let's take that wagon to Kalay! Should we ride in the wagon, too? Huh? You don't want to ride in Bunza's wagon? So, what? You've changed your mind? You do want to go with them? Now I'm totally confused. You changed your mind again? Stop wasting our time! Are we riding in the wagon? Do you have some unfinished business in Lunpa? If you insist, then I'll stick with you! Hey... I can't leave you two here by yourselves! I'll stay behind, too. Hammet, I'm going to go with Isaac, too. Yes, Ivan, you should accompany your friends on this mission. I'm disappointed we can't travel home together, but I understand. Be careful, Ivan! Sigh. They've gone! I hope Hammet and Bunza make it to Kalay safely. They'll be okay. I'm sure they'll make it there in one piece. Well. Let's get going ourselves, Isaac! We're off! Do you have any unfinished business? If you don't have any unfinished business, then let's get on to Kalay! Lady Layana will be so happy, won't she? Yes. I'd like to see her as soon as possible. Then, let's set off! Are you saying you still have some things to do here in Lunpa? Don't startle me! You don't have anything left to do, do you? Meaning...you won't ride in the wagon? I am sorry, Isaac, but I cannot safely wait here any longer. So...do you intend to stay and finish your business? Thank you for your help with Dodonpa. I have a little something for you, for your teaching Dodonpa his lesson. Give these people a token of my gratitude. Deep within there is an interesting creature that I fought once long ago. I give this to you. Please take good care of it. Donpa is very grateful for what you have done. Well, now I'm worried about Dodonpa really turning over a new leaf! It must be difficult for Donpa right now. It's so hard to teach a child a lesson. What father can stay angry at his children for long? Actually, I'd like to free Dodonpa from his cell right now. The merchant from Kalay is in here somewhere. He's not going anywhere. Actually, Dodonpa's in here, but only a few people know that. As long as we're on guard, no one will find out. I was wrong! I'll turn over a new leaf, Dad! Please forgive me! I can't believe what you did to me! When I get out of here, I'll get you all! The key doesn't work. Maybe Donpa changed the locks. We've arrived, Hammet. Arrived where? Oh, didn't I tell you about this entrance, Ivan? This underground passage leads to Hammet Palace. An underground passage? What for? Just to be safe. I don't understand. Why bring the wagon in this way? Because Dodonpa's henchmen may be here in Kalay... Well then, Bunza, would you please take them to the town's entrance? What? Why? We'll just go this way with you. You can't. You must go through town to the Palace. I'm confused... You have no reason to hide, now, do you? Why shouldn't we just go in this way? That would raise suspicions. Wouldn't it be strange if people who aren't even supposed to be in town... suddenly walked out of the Palace? If anyone noticed, they might learn of this secret entrance. Now, do you understand? In that case how about this? I think Hammet and Lady Layana need time for their reunion... In that case, we will gladly ride in the wagon. Do you want to go to the cave up ahead? I'd like to let you go, but I cannot. You'd better just turn around. Good, because I wouldn't be able to let you anyway. Hammet and Lady Layana have commanded that none shall pass through here. So! It's Ivan and his companions... Perfect timing! So, it's you... I told you time and time again not to go to Lunpa, but you went anyway. Please, Layana, don't be so harsh on them. Naturally, I'm happy that they rescued you. But this was something that Kalay should have handled alone. You had a more pressing quest at hand, no? Yes. Your mission is to recover the Elemental Stars. Have you completely forgotten your own quest!? Layana, you shouldn't... I... I had to rescue Hammet, no matter the cost... It's already done. There is nothing more to be said. Hold on! We all wanted to save Hammet as badly as Ivan did. It doesn't matter, Garet. I'm the one at fault! I made a mistake. We will leave immediately on Felix's trail! Yes. That would be best. Leave immediately. Isaac, we should be going. Ivan, is that really what you want? Well, if Ivan says so... Should we go, Isaac? If both Isaac and Ivan want to leave, then I guess that's it. Take your Shaman's Rod and go to Hesperia. To Hesperia...? That is what the Jupiter Adept said. Hesperia... Where is that? It is the continent to the west of Angara. What are we going to find in Hesperia if we go? That, I do not know... The continent to the west? On the other side of the sea? Do not waste time chattering. You must set out immediately. Take your Shaman's Rod and set out for Hesperia. And...be careful. No one in Kalay knows Hammet has returned. We will have to hide Hammet in the Palace for quite a while. I hear Hammet was saved by you people... Thank you so much! They say Hammet's return is supposed to be a secret for now. The villagers are worried, so I'd like to tell them, but we can't... I left the door to the underground passage open, so go have a look. I wonder if any of Dodonpa's thugs have come here after Hammet... That is the only thing that really has me frightened. The secret passage is locked because Hammet's treasure is in there. Layana's words pain her more than they can know. Surely, Isaac and his friends understand Layana's feelings. I'm so happy Hammet made it back safely, I could cry... Isaac, Ivan... We all must thank you. I'm so relieved Hammet made it back safely. I can't let on to the townspeople when I speak to them! Layana ordered the door to the underground path opened. This represents our gratitude toward Isaac and his friends...for saving Hammet. We will never let Dodonpa's henchmen get Hammet again... The key to the secret passage is also the key to Hammet's treasure room. Layana was very hard on all of you, wasn't she? I think she went too far, telling you all to leave... But she is the one who most regrets parting with Ivan. Her words were hard, but you know how painful they were for her to say. Layana will be very happy to hear that. The things beyond these doors belong to you all. Please take them!

Suhalla

Dialogue strings

This is Suhalla. Don't try crossing the desert. The sandstorms are too fierce. Are you trying to get to Lalivero? Making it through the sandstorms is impossible. Don't bother. Didn't you come from Angara? Anytime Angarans come to Suhalla, they're always going to Lalivero. We Gondowans will never trust anyone from Angara! You know why? Sheba, the holy child of Lalivero, was taken away as a hostage to Tolbi. It has been said for ages that desert spirits only create sandstorms... when they are angry. You can't get to southern Gondowan from here, can you? There are many natural obstacles. There is no way to cross them. The workers say there're huge festivals in Tolbi. I'd like to see one. The sandstorms suddenly increased... I hope no one gets caught in one and gets injured. The Suhalla has long been known for its sandstorms. There are too many now. The people of Lalivero have been worked hard by Angara's soldiers. No one would dare make Suhallans work like that! The ruler of Tolbi took a girl named Sheba hostage to control Lalivero. We'll never trust anyone from Angara! I know the desert spirits will exact their vengeance on Babi for this. Southern Gondowan is guarded by the natural terrain. We are constantly worried about an invasion from Angara... I've heard that Tolbi's Colosso is a warriors' festival, but... I wonder what a warriors' festival is like... None of the grown-ups in Suhalla go into the desert during a sandstorm. My father loves people so much, he can't help but aid anyone in trouble. But I love my father despite his faults. Let me know if you have any problems. I'll do anything I can to help. When I see people in trouble, I just can't sit still. I guess I'm just my father's child! I want to help people so badly, I can't sit idly by! Tolbi probably ignores small villages like Suhalla, doesn't it? Now that I think about it, that's probably for the best. If you head east across Suhalla, Lalivero is so close you can see it across the Nol River, but you can't get across the river delta. Suhalla is a desert village. I guess it will never be like Lalivero. Good thing it's not easy to get to Lalivero! If it were, Suhalla would be completely left behind. Ours is the only store in Suhalla. This is a small village, so one store is enough. A village this small can't support many shops. Sigh. Nothin' to do... Maybe we'll see business once Tolbi's festival ends. I wonder if any customers can get through those sandstorms... First, they'd have to want to cross through the desert. Once the festival ends, the travelers will head for Lalivero. If they just get caught in the sandstorms, they'll be my customers! For some reason, anyone who gets caught in a sandstorm winds up here. They all give up trying to cross the desert and take shelter in Suhalla. I get sick thinking about Lalivero being under Tolbi's rule. The holy child, Sheba, will save those deluded Laliverans. That is what they believe in Lalivero. Welcome to Suhalla. I bet the sandstorms were terrible... The desert is enveloped in sandstorms! It's frightening! Soldiers from Tolbi were caught in the sandstorms, and nearly all perished! The survivors are in that house. We were brought here by the sandstorms. It all happened so fast! This sandstorm is the fault of the Angarans! If you all hadn't built that thing in Lalivero, the spirits wouldn't be angry! You were brought to Suhalla by the sandstorm, right? Everyone who gets caught in the sandstorms winds up in Suhalla. You should be glad you weren't blown away to some strange place! I don't care what anyone says, there shouldn't be so many sandstorms! What in the world could be going on in the Suhalla desert? Why are the sandstorms attacking humans? It's as if the sandstorms are actually alive! Those soldiers kept mumbling about monsters... I bet these warriors were brought here by a sandstorm. I wonder why there are so many sandstorms? It wasn't this bad until only recently. The soldiers from Tolbi were collapsing, like after a battle. After you get swallowed by a sandstorm, you have a few moments before you get blown back here, but still there's nothing you can do... Lately, all the sandstorms have been incredibly fierce. What could the desert spirits be so angry about? If you fight the storms, you'll enrage the spirits, and they'll take your life. I bet that's what happened to the soldiers from Tolbi. Grown-ups say the sandstorms attack people. But, it doesn't make sense that a storm would attack anything! They say the soldiers were ravaged by a sandstorm... but I think it must have been a monster... The wounded are sleeping, so don't raise your voice! I am amazed these soldiers survived their wounds... They must have been in good shape! Iodem... You soldiers were supposed to be heading for Babi Lighthouse! Iodem... What are you doing here? Babi ordered me to go to the lighthouse with Isaac. You were escorting Sheba to Lalivero, no? We've disgraced Tolbi... What has happened to Sheba? Where is Sheba!? I don't know. When we awoke, we were here in these beds. If anything has happened to Sheba, what will become of the lighthouse? Sheba was the sole reason Lalivero aided us in its construction. We entrusted you with Sheba to speed up the construction. Was that a mistake? Iodem... I know that, at the very least, Sheba wasn't in the sandstorm. Is this true!? Sheba was entrusted to our care, so we shielded her from any risk. You acted properly, then, but where is Sheba now? Probably not far from the edge of the sandstorm that hit us... Isaac, we must go to the desert and find Sheba. If you're going to the desert...beware of that cyclone! At first, we couldn't avoid getting caught in the sandstorms. But there were others who were able to make it through the storms. Who knows how they got it, but they used water to stop the cyclones. Water? You can stop the sandstorms with water... I think I understand. Now get some rest... Wait, Iodem... There is more. You must not meet our fate... The sandstorms are caused by monsters. Can this be? The others... They slayed the beasts... That's how they got through. Wh-Who—what are they? When the storms stopped, they would move ahead, but a new storm always... They had strange powers. We had to bring barrels filled with water... But carrying the barrels exhausted us...and then the beast... That's enough... Get some rest! They are dangerous, those others. Slay that beast and take up the trail... Thank you for your help. You have dispatched your duties with honor. Could these others be the ones you are following, Isaac? You took the same impression from their tale as I did... I don't know why... but that is the sense I get from this tale... We must find Sheba as quickly as we can! Then, we shall get through the Suhalla and pursue your opponents. Why were they headed toward eastern Gondowan? I have a bad feeling about this. Please! You must overtake them... Where is Sheba... What has happened to Sheba? These old soldiers must rest until their wounds heal. Who could have done this to such powerful soldiers? A column of water shot up when they were caught in the sandstorm. Then the sand was gone. But it was so much more water than we could ever hold in our barrels... Sheba was not far behind us. She should still be safe. Sheba must be in the desert somewhere... If not, maybe they... Do not approach the large cyclones in the middle of the Suhalla. The Suhallans call those death storms. They are pure evil. Death storms, huh? There was a saying about those big cyclones... Ummm, What... What was it? ...I can't remember. Once you get swept up in a death storm, you can never be rescued. Countless people are missing because of them. "Ye who seek..." Something about eyes of truth... What was it? "When ye take thy treasure, a creature of darkness..." Oh, fiddle-faddle. I forget. Aren't you surprised to find so few shops? I bet you are! Suhalla is a small village... Ours is the only shop! We don't have anything great, but feel free to look around. It's really something to have an equipment shop... We've had more customers lately because of the increase in sandstorms. We've been busy ever since the surge of sandstorms! We are happy about it, but we feel bad for the poor travelers. It will take time for the storms to die down, so make yourselves at home. We went into the Suhalla to go build the lighthouse, but the storms caught us. Sigh. Now we can't reach Babi Lighthouse. The sandstorms are so bad, we've given up trying to reach Babi Lighthouse. I suppose you folk were blown here on your way to Babi Lighthouse? If you follow the northern mountain, you can get back to Tolbi. I'm giving up, too... Let's head back that way. I set out for Babi Lighthouse to open a business there, but then I was blown back here again! The sandstorms are sending customers our way! I hope those winds keep right on blowing! Please, great sandstorms! Send us more customers! Even if we can't go, it won't affect construction of the lighthouse much. So, shall we give up on Babi Lighthouse and head back to Tolbi? When that cyclone threw us into the air, I thought we were done for! I'm happy just to be alive! I wonder why we're having all these sandstorms... I shudder to think sandstorms will get me if I leave town. A sandstorm! There'll be trouble if we get caught up in one of those... But something is wrong... Why are there so many? If we don't get past here, we'll never make it to Babi Lighthouse. We must step carefully if we hope to escape the desert. Sheba is nowhere to be found. I wonder what happened... Should we search the desert once more or press on to Lalivero? What do you say, Isaac? Should we keep going? Ah, yes. I had forgotten about your foes... But I must carry out Babi's orders... Our guard gate lies ahead. We can leave Sheba to the soldiers at the gate. Well, perhaps we should head there first, then. Look at this! What happened? Babi's ship... Hm... Perhaps it is time... Isaac, take this... Try to use it. You got the Black Orb. Now use it... on the ship. Isaac, where you going? I said to use the Orb on Babi's ship! What's the matter? Strange... Nothing happened. What does it mean? Could Babi have been wrong? No. Not Babi... I was wrong—it is not yet time. We must press on to Babi Lighthouse. I will take that back, for now. You returned the Black Orb. We will return to the ship later. The wreckage of a ship scuttled off the coast. Only those with travel papers may pass through. If you do not have them you must turn back at once. Do you want to go to Babi Lighthouse? Show me your travel papers, and I'll let you pass! What! You don't have travel papers? Then I cannot let you pass! Hmmph! You don't want to see Babi Lighthouse? You're a strange one! I never ask why I must protect this place! I simply obey Babi's orders... I wonder if this year's Colosso is over yet... Sigh. I'd like to see Colosso next year... What is the meaning of this!? Uh! Is... Is that Iodem...? What has happened to the gate? There was a strange group... No papers... They wanted to pass... Uhh... Iodem... We tried to hold them back...but they were too powerful! They had strange powers... We were no match for them. It must have been Felix! Yeah... No one else is capable of this. Don't you know the work of your own foe's hand? Who else could it be? After we find Sheba, we must track down the monsters that did this. We must get to Babi Lighthouse as soon as possible! Yes, but we cannot leave the soldiers like this... We're okay. Don't worry about us! Get after them, please... But that would be... We were bested in battle, but we will survive... Now go! If they have done anything at the lighthouse... It would be our... He's right. We've got to stop them! We're going after them, right, Isaac! Ohhh! It's no use... I don't think I can get up. Send help once you reach Babi Lighthouse. It's a pity a Colosso victor should end up like this... Next time I see them, I'll be sure to settle the score! Curses! It's a disgrace to be seen by Iodem like this... I'd rather crawl into a hole and hide. I thought I was dead! I'm lucky even to be alive right now... The strange ones with the wild hair... Their power was too much for us. I have been traveling the lands spreading good will. Cliffs, deserts... Gondowan is a desolate wasteland. Venus Lighthouse was... attacked by strange... wanderers... Iodem, be happy. The entrance to Venus Lighthouse is open... After years of study... our dreams have at last come true! Ohhh! How could they attack mere scholars? Those barbarians! I've waited so long to see what it's like inside Venus Lighthouse, but... I can't even move without feeling terrible, terrible pain. How... How did they open the door to Venus Lighthouse? They are already... headed for Babi Lighthouse... Babi's soldiers are all Colosso victors... How could anyone beat all of us? Who were they? Uhnnn... If only I could move... The lighthouse is open at last, but at what cost? Their powers were so... strange... Who were they...? I must get inside Venus Lighthouse... Must find the connection... The young boy seemed to glow for an instant... Then the entrance to Venus Lighthouse opened. They weren't in Venus Lighthouse very long. They were heading north toward Babi Lighthouse when I last saw them. I thought I recognized one of them... An alchemist who served Babi... Was it Kraden? Kraden told them to stop, but they attacked anyway. Attacking scholars... how vicious! Kraden went inside, but then came back and said this isn't the entrance. But we've searched the lighthouse, and there's no other entrance. I thought I'd explore after the door opened. While I was searching this room, Kraden and the others appeared. They did something to the statue that made the floor light up. If Kraden hadn't been there, we surely would have been killed. Kraden said something about this being the exit... I wonder what he's discovered... I wonder what mysteries the statue holds... Kraden said the statue indicated the true path, but how? There are words carved into the relief... If ye seek to climb Venus Lighthouse, first seek the power within. To obtain this power, see with the eyes of truth. Then the way shall open. But the path I reveal is not the beginning. The true beginning lies down ancient pathways on distant soils. The true road can only be known by he who bears a true heart. The statue speaks to Isaac's soul... Ye who seek to climb Venus Lighthouse, I shall grant thy wish. The path long closed shall not be opened here. That path begins far, far away, on the soil of an ancient people, with the sunrise to your left as you gaze upon the lighthouse. The statue speaks to Isaac's soul... Ye who seek to climb Venus Lighthouse must seek the lady's leave. Then the way shall open. The lady will keep safe at her feet the place that you seek as she awaits your arrival. The statue speaks to Isaac's soul... Ye who seek to climb Venus Lighthouse, the lady knows your desires. Here, your path shall not be opened. The statue seems to speak to your soul... Red shines northwest of me. Yellow shines northeast of me. Red shines due west of me. Violet shines southeast of me. Violet shines southeast of me. Hmmm. We can't push the block farther than this. It'd be great if we could carry that block and drop it to the ground. Can our Psynergy help us at all? It seems to be locked.

Lalivero

Dialogue strings

More of Tolbi's soldiers lay defeated... Is this more of their work? That voice... It's Iodem... You survived! We suffered great losses... Were you fighting a group of six people? There were...seven... You've survived as well! There were seven? Is this the same group you were following before? I'm certain of it. One of them must have been...Sheba. Sheba, you say... Is this true!? The scholar Kraden was protecting her. I'm sure it was Sheba... Did you hear that, Isaac? What do they want with Sheba? Sheba... They all... Once they finished with us, they headed for Babi Lighthouse. What do they hope to find at Babi Lighthouse? They spoke of the ruins beneath the lighthouse... Ruins? Of course! The foundations of the lighthouse! And Faran, the master of the Lalivero, followed them into the ruins... I see. Faran, too... Isaac! We must head for Babi Lighthouse as well. Are you concerned about these soldiers? We're fine... You must hurry to the lighthouse. The lighthouse... Sheba... If anything happens... Just hurry... Even the soldiers insist, Isaac! Come on! Uhhnn... We were taken by surprise... But why... Sheba... They were terrible! We were no match... They're horrible! Ohh... They took Sheba and headed for the ruins. Sheba is our only hope. If something happens to her, Lalivero is finished. This all happened because Tolbi took Sheba away from us... Faran followed Sheba. I'm sure he'll rescue her. The rumbling at the ruins must have been a warning... There was an earthquake at the ruins before this happened. I wonder if Sheba and the others are okay... If I were bigger, I would have saved Sheba myself! I bet Sheba can use her powers to escape them. We haven't been ordered to start working yet... Do we get today off? There were strange folk going to the ruins... Faran followed them. It's odd that Babi would build a lighthouse in a place like this. Maybe he thought using the ruins as the foundation would be easy. Cutting these stones and stacking them on the ruins isn't easy. Build it faster, you say? Try building it yourself, then! If only they didn't have Sheba... But even without her as a hostage, we couldn't have beaten them. They used fire on us! That's just not right! Curses! We couldn't stop Sheba and the others... What do they plan to do with Sheba in the ruins... No... I must not think such horrible things... We never should have let Tolbi take Sheba away from us. Faran still does not return... What could be happening? We have seen many omens of bad things to come. We saw one when Sheba was taken from Lalivero, too... The stones we stacked for the lighthouse won't fall, will they? I tried to step in front of them to save her... But my heart was trembling... I couldn't stop them... They all have a lesson coming to them. They'll learn why Sheba is called the holy child of Lalivero! There was a big fight that ended in some hostages being taken. Tragic, I know, but anything that gets me off work can't be all bad! If Faran went after them, then this is serious! If this keeps up, we won't be able to build the lighthouse. Why would they want to rush construction on the lighthouse? Maybe they hope to rule the seas and control more distant lands... Now that I think of it, we did find a strange cave in the quarry. Of course I have seen Sheba's power... It's incredible! How could one with such power ever be taken hostage? There are some who do not believe Sheba has any powers... Doubting Sheba? That is foolish! Could Faran have tricked us all? If Sheba does have mystic powers, she couldn't have been taken hostage. If Sheba can't use her powers in a time like this, they're useless! Sheba came flying to the ruins like a shooting star. She created a massive depression in the center of the ruins. Even Sheba couldn't have escaped six of them... They say a man named Iodem is coming from Tolbi. I guess he plans to make us do even more work! No one's called me, so maybe I'll take a nap... Sheba said the cave at the ruins leads to the southeast. But it couldn't possibly lead all the way to Venus Lighthouse... The ruins that form the lighthouse foundation are riddled with caves. If you could get through the caves, I'm sure you'd solve the ruins' riddle. We received Sheba from the sky and raised her lovingly... I know Faran will rescue that child. I just know that Father will save my elder sister, Sheba. His wife seems very calm, considering. Deep down, she must be worried about Sheba. Sheba, if the power that you showed us is real, then please escape! If you don't, I...might start to doubt that power of yours. Sheba is the savior of Lalivero. There's no mistake about it. I don't know of anyone other than Sheba with power like that. A legendary savior will appear in the sky... I was a fool for believing that savior was Sheba. I'd like to believe in Sheba... Please, Sheba, use your power to escape from them! Even though she fell out of the sky, she wasn't even bruised! They can't hurt Sheba! If something happens to Sheba, what will become of Lalivero? When Iodem gets here, he's going to have some explaining to do. I wonder if I should flee Lalivero... It's been so long since I had a nap, I'd forgotten how nice they are! I wonder how Sheba knew about the caves at the ruins? Her visions... they can't be true. Those caves are too dangerous for me to explore. If only I were a warrior. Then I'd go find the treasure in the caves! It's so painful to even think of anything bad happening to Sheba. I would take her place if I could. I just wish someone would please rescue my sister, Sheba. That couple raised Sheba as though she were their own child. When someone like Sheba is kidnapped, it worries us all! Sheba was taken hostage, and Faran went after them? Oh my! What's everyone else in Lalivero doing? If I didn't have to watch my shop, I'd go rescue Sheba myself! What are you, a shut-in? That's all anyone has been talking about! The Laliverans are a timid people, so you can't count on them here. You're a warrior, right? Please rescue Sheba! I'll give you a discount on my goods if you rescue her. I can't rescue Sheba! If I only had courage... Maybe then... I guess it was people from Angara who took Sheba hostage. Everyone knows that continent is full of thugs and barbarians. If anything happens to Sheba... I'll never do business with anyone from Angara again! If you want to stay, I'll let you, because it means money for me. But if you're a warrior... You ought to be rescuing Sheba. Oh, I'm sorry... I'm so worried about Sheba, I can't concentrate. But no matter how much I worry, there isn't anything I can do. ...Now, to work, to work! Working like this keeps my mind occupied. We must obey Tolbi... That's what led to this happening to Sheba. Babi is responsible for all of it! Why did this have to happen to Sheba? If only it were a dream. Housecleaning... changing sheets... It's all done, right? I'm just not myself... Sometimes I don't even know what I'm doing... Once this incident is over, I hope Tolbi's soldiers all leave town... You mustn't keep me from my work! Babi isn't building a lighthouse—it's a tower... Maybe he is trying to elevate himself to the level of the gods. I bet Babi's tower will be struck down! After all, "pride goeth before a fall!" Babi's most precious belonging is kept here. No one may enter! I wonder what Babi's most precious belonging is... If I don't even know, how can I be interested in guarding it? They were terrible! We were absolutely no match for them. Only two of those six ever attacked anyone... but just those two completely overwhelmed us! They just kicked us out of their way and went on to the lighthouse. They set fire to everything! That's why the ground is scorched. Using fire as a weapon is so cowardly! We're the ones who attacked, but we took all the damage. What were we thinking, trying to fight those guys? The other four didn't seem to have any fight left in them at all. What could they be planning for Babi Lighthouse? None of them had any torches. It's like that fire just appeared out of nowhere! You're sure they went through this door? Yes, they opened the stone door and entered! Well? Does the door open? It's hopeless. It won't budge... Of course not! I told you, this door doesn't open! If it did open, we would have gone in long ago to study the ruins. But I'm certain they went through this door! And I'm saying no one has ever gone through here... Oh! Iodem... Faran! I am so sorry about Sheba... Why did this sort of thing have to happen? Are Felix and the others beyond this door? Yes. Beyond the door that no normal man can open... If they got through, then we can, too. Right? Will you go for us? There is no one else who can go after them. Iodem, just who are these people? They come from the far north. They have chased the ones who took Sheba all the way here. They've been chasing that fearsome group? Yes. They are most fearsome. Such awful power... And what they're trying to do seems very dangerous. We're the only ones who can stop them. You think you can stop them? You seem quite sure of yourself, but what do you think you can do? Hmph! Not with that attitude, you can't! I have never heard such harsh words from you, Faran. What do you expect when, in the midst of such dangers... you ask me to leave Sheba's fate in the hands of children? If you want me to trust them, they must give me reason to trust them! First, you will have to demonstrate your powers to us. Can you follow the same paths that they took? Your confidence means nothing unless you show that you can do it. Well, you have no choice... You will have to try. Iodem asks only that you stand back and watch. Now, show me what you can do. I am counting on you, Isaac! Prove your worth by opening that door! When I saw them, they had already gone through to the other side. It's the truth! You have to believe me! I am sorry, but not even Sheba has ever passed through here. There is no way this door will open. This all started when Sheba was dragged off to Tolbi. If anything happens to Sheba, the good folk of Lalivero won't sit idly by! If you can open this door, I will trust Iodem once more... I do not mean to doubt your abilities, Isaac, but I am very worried! If this door doesn't open... Nobody thinks the door can be opened, and I'm starting to doubt myself. It's not like I actually saw them go through... I don't know what they're waiting for. If they're going to open the door, they'd better do it now! This is all a huge waste of time! If we don't find Sheba soon, her life may be in danger... I hope they can open the door, but I won't believe it until I see it. The door! I don't believe it! The door opened! Incredible! It really does open. How in the world did you open the door? I don't know how to explain it... We did it because we're us! It would take too long to explain. There's no time for an explanation, anyway. That's right. We must rescue Sheba! Let's go, Faran. We've got to save Sheba! Hey, the door's closing! Why did it close? I don't know... Why does anything close? It closed to prevent people with no Psynergy from entering! It would be perilous for those without Psynergy to try to get through. I agree! You'll have to let us handle it from here! What? You're telling us to stay back? Since we can't even open the door, we'd just be getting in your way. It won't stop you, but if we can't open the door, we can't go with you. This is true... But we can't leave Sheba in their hands just because it's dangerous. They have greater power than you can even imagine. And without such power, this door will not open for us? That is how it seems. The power they just displayed is but a fraction of their true might. Without that sort of power, we would just get in their way. I understand. Sheba's life is in your hands. Do not fail us. You must bring Sheba safely back! Make haste, Isaac. All our hopes lie with you! I beg of you, Isaac. Please bring Sheba back! I can't believe this door actually opened! What are you? It takes great courage to continue on in the face of danger... We will be here awaiting your safe return. I'm very interested in what lies beyond here. I know! Once this is over, I'll go see for myself! I am not afraid of danger, but I do not want to hinder you. I am counting on you to save Sheba for us. If anything happens to Sheba, Tolbi will become Lalivero's sworn enemy. That must be prevented at all costs. If this door opens, maybe we can get into other parts of the ruins too. I bet the monsters around here are nothing like what lies ahead! I'm happy to leave such dangers to these warriors. This is a big waste of time... Sheba's life is in danger! If they don't find her soon... I don't want to hinder Sheba's rescue! From here on out, I'm leaving everything to these warriors... The truth of this door is open to those seeing with their true heart.

Venus Lighthouse

Dialogue strings

At long last, the time has come to light Venus Lighthouse's beacon. With the second beacon lit, only two will remain. No. Lighting Jupiter is virtually the same as lighting Mars. That is true. Jupiter is really all that remains. That's right. Your dreams are within your grasp now. Why are you still here, Felix? I thought I ordered you on ahead to the ship. I've already sent Jenna and the others to the dock at Idejima. Then why did you come back? Because I have a different promise to keep. A promise, you say? You must mean Sheba... Yes, Sheba. Why haven't you released her yet? You promised to free her once you got into Venus Lighthouse. And that's what brought you back here? You promised not to involve anyone who wasn't related to this matter. Sheba is special. Of course... Because Sheba is a special Adept? You guys learned something from the first two lighthouses. And what would that be? In order to enter each lighthouse, you needed an Adept of that clan. Right now, we have Fire, Earth, and Water Adepts, but no Wind Adept. That does seem to be the case. Do we need Sheba to get into the Jupiter Lighthouse? I'm sorry, Felix, but we cannot even enter without a Wind Adept. That being the case, I guess I understand why you can't set Sheba free. It seems that you, too, have learned something. If that is all, then you should go, Felix! No. I cannot leave Sheba behind! I'm taking Sheba to the ship! What are you talking about, Felix? We don't know what will happen when you light this beacon. I won't leave Sheba here to find out! We told you that we'd protect Sheba. Don't you trust us? That's not what I'm saying... It's just best to be safe. Don't tell us what's best, Felix. You're not taking Sheba. Why not? What? You don't trust me? How can we, after you just demanded we free Sheba? If we had trusted you a moment ago, Sheba would be free now. Come with me, Sheba! I shall protect you! Are you ready to do this, even though it means fighting us? ...I believe he is! He would not have defied us if he lacked the will to fight. If it means protecting Sheba from harm, then I must. You have seen what we can do. You know you can't stop us. How can you protect Sheba, when you can't even protect yourself? This rebellious attitude is exactly why we've never let you fight. Haven't you been given enough reason to fear us in these travels? You're no fighter, Felix. How can you hope to stand against us? You've questioned us for the last time! Let's see what you can do! It looks like they're having a falling out over Sheba. There's something more to it, though... It seems Saturos and Menardi no longer trust Felix. Looks like the perfect opportunity has just fallen into our laps! Now's our only chance to prevent them from lighting the beacon! There's not a moment to spare! Let's move! Don't chicken out now! If we hesitate, they'll light the beacon! Isaac... So! You've come to stop us? Look what your defiance has brought us, Felix! I don't need you or anyone to rescue me, Isaac! I was just about to settle things with Saturos and Menardi... You can watch! And then we'll show you the true power of this beacon's light! But...Sheba has nothing to do with this! So set Sheba free! Silence! You'd best tread lightly, Felix, or both you and Sheba will suffer! If anything happens to Sheba, we will have failed Faran... We won't permit you to lay a hand on Sheba or Felix! Oh ho! So you're worried about Sheba, too? Don't worry. We won't hurt Sheba...if you meet our conditions. What are you doing, Saturos? Leave this to me! Sheba! Do you remember the rod connected to Hesperia? The Rod of Hesperia? The rod required to reach the Jupiter Lighthouse! Ye-Yes... Those who pursue us bear a rod... Is it the one? Sheba! Stay where you are! You can do it from there! How about it, Sheba? Well, Sheba? ...Perhaps... "Perhaps..." Perhaps what!? Don't yell at her! We're not yelling! We just want a straight answer. So, Sheba? Their minds are veiled. I cannot see clearly...but I think...it's the one. It's a waste to make her try again. So, what do we do? Do you know the terms we will require before we agree not to harm Sheba? You're smarter than I thought if you've already figured it out. I want the rod that will get us into Jupiter Lighthouse. If you give us the Shaman's Rod, Sheba will not be harmed. Agreed? The Shaman's Rod? If it means saving Sheba, I will give it to you. He wants the Shaman's Rod. If it will save Sheba, I'll give it up. What? But Hammet gave that to you, Ivan! Don't you care what happens to Sheba? Then you will give us the rod! Well done, Saturos! We finally have the Shaman's Rod! Go get it, Felix! Why me? To ensure your loyalty to us! Go on, Felix! Isaac handed over the Shaman's Rod. What should I do with the rod? Keep it safe! Where do you think you're going, Sheba? We gave you the rod. Now, release Sheba! Whatever do you mean? You said you'd free Sheba if we gave you the rod. Those were your terms. We gave you the rod, so release Sheba! You seem to have misunderstood. I said we wouldn't harm Sheba... but I never said we'd let her go! You're altering the bargain? Ha ha! We can't help it if you misinterpreted Saturos's terms! Besides, if we were to release Sheba, she'd be in quite a fix. What do you mean? Sheba can't get back to Lalivero alone. What do you mean? We're going to take Sheba... Oh no... That's right. You won't be going back. This is it for you! Excuse me? Enough! You're the ones who aren't going anywhere! Bring it on, whelp! You won't live long enough to regret your stupidity! Prepare to experience first-hand the horror of a master Fire Adept! We did it! We beat 'em! All right, Sheba... Let's go! Felix! What are you doing? I cannot give up Sheba... What!? But we just saved you! I never asked you to help us... Felix, you're not one of them. You're free to go now... So why are you doing this? The four beacons must still be lit... You're going to light the beacons!? That's ridiculous! I felt you'd say that. But I'm going to do it anyway! So, wait... If he means to light the beacons, then he's our enemy, right? Do what you will, Isaac, but if you try to stop me, I'll fight you. Friend or enemy, you won't stop me from taking Sheba with me! I hope you don't think you've finished us off. You may not be finished, but you can barely stand. Right now, yes... But we'll be back on our feet... as soon as we do THIS! Oh, no! He threw the Elemental Star into the lighthouse! How could this happen... We couldn't keep them from lighting the beacon! That's not all... The energy of the beacon will restore our power. How can it restore their power? Venus is the earth elemental, right? Then why would Venus give power to Fire Adepts? Have you forgotten everything we've learned? Venus is earth. It shouldn't be a source of power for Fire Adepts! Fire and earth share a symbiotic relationship. This light will restore our Psynergy! We'll fight you as many times as it takes. We won't lose. You may have beaten the two of us... But now, you face the true might of Fire Clan of the north! Fire Clan of the north? Bear witness to the true strength of the northern wilds! Oh, give it up! We beat you once, we'll do it again! Go, Felix! Take Sheba and go! I can...go? We may not have the strength to protect Sheba after this. You must take Sheba to the ship without fail! What are you waiting for? Go! Now! No. I cannot leave you to fight them alone. Are you saying you don't want to lose to Isaac? I wonder if that's true... What was that? Wouldn't you be just a little sad to see your childhood friend perish? What are you saying? I'm saying you're here to protect this brat from your past. Do you really think that I would help them? Let's just say that I wouldn't put it past you. And you, Saturos? Do you agree? I wouldn't say that... But it would be best not to raise our suspicion. Now, who's telling whom what's best? Fine! I'll take Sheba for you! Come on, Sheba! Wait, Felix! I won't let you go! Heh heh... Felix is the least of your worries right now. Oh my—they're glowing! It's time you learned what true power is! Their Psynergy is overflowing! Hya ha ha! It's too late to run! Uh-oh... They're fusing! They've merged into one another! Everyone get back! How... How... did we lose? We are superior in every way, but still we were defeated... We did it! We won! We beat them...but have we really won? Even though we couldn't stop the beacon from being lit? All our efforts were for naught. What are you talking about? We did everything we could! Sure we couldn't save the Venus Lighthouse, but... We beat them! They're gone! You saw them fall down into the pit... So we don't have to worry about any more beacons being lit! But Felix is gone, and he's taken Sheba... What's with you guys? Isaac... What are you lookin' at?!? Felix! Did you finish them? No one knew their power better than I did. If you destroyed them... Then I am no match for you now, Isaac... I must go... Come, Sheba! Wait, Felix! Why do you run from us? They fell into the lighthouse. It's all over! Poor fools... If you think it's over, you are sadly mistaken! If you plan to light the other beacons, you will still need... The Elemental Stars? We have them! They're gone, Felix! You don't have to light the beacons anymore... Yes, I do. If I don't light the beacons... What will happen? It's no use talking about it... Just wait and see! If you won't release Sheba, we'll have to take her back! The lighthouse...! Isaac! They're too far away! We can't reach Felix! That's not all! There's light coming from down below! Noooo! Sheba! Hold on, Sheba! Take my hand! I can't... You must try! If you don't, you'll fall! Look down... The foundations of the lighthouse are crumbling! Why is this happening? Is it to protect Venus Lighthouse? I'm slipping... I can't hold on any longer. Nooo! Don't let go! You can't! You'll... Good-bye, Felix, and thank you. Sheba!!! No! I won't let you die! !!! Sheba fell after that last tremor... Felix didn't dive into the sea after her, did he? I can't believe he did that from so high up! You idiot, Felix! I can't believe he said he'd light the other beacons. We would have had to fight him if this hadn't happened... But he sacrificed himself to save Sheba. He's not like Saturos. I'm at a loss, Isaac. We have to decide what to do next. What to do? What can we do? What about Jenna and the others at Idejima? Oh yeah! I completely forgot about Jenna! Isaac! Listen up! We've got to find Jenna! Look at that! Isaac has finally come back to his senses! Shouldn't we go find Jenna and the others right away? It's about time you started agreeing with me! Isaac, you'll have to tell Jenna about Felix. I know it will be hard, but you'll be there to comfort her. After all this, you don't have the guts to tell Jenna about Felix? If you don't tell her what happened to Felix, then who will? You're going to have to find a way to console Jenna... What's the matter, Garet? I was just thinkin'... How the heck are we supposed to get down? Good point. This is going to make leaving very difficult... It's back to normal! That was odd... What's going on around here? I don't think we'll ever know. At least now, we can go search for Jenna and the others. All right, let's go, Isaac! It's time to find Jenna. But despite a long and tiring search, Jenna was nowhere to be found.

Lalivero epilogue

Dialogue strings

How did the search for Sheba turn out? We were unable to find any sign of her. The seas are too rough to search. And there's no sign of her on land... Tolbi is responsible for Sheba's fate. No apology can reflect the sorrow I feel at your loss, Faran... All we can do for Sheba now is... hope. But tell me, what of Jenna and the others? The same. We've searched all over, but they're nowhere to be found. The ground tore apart from the shock of the lighthouse, and the ship... Apparently, everything at Idejima, including the ship, was swept away... So, Idejima itself was washed out to sea? Incredible... Then the cave, too, has been flooded? But we think Jenna and the others are still alive. They may have been washed out to sea with Idejima. We have decided to continue searching for Jenna. Haven't we, Isaac? Do not worry about Sheba. I just hope you are able to find Jenna. You need not worry about Sheba... We will find Sheba without fail... Sheba has been in dangerous situations before and lived. But this time, I believe it was nothing short of a miracle... Who knew the sea would rise up to the lighthouse just as she fell? Can you really call that a miracle? Do you think it was just good luck? Let's call it mere coincidence, for now. Nothing is coincidental when it comes to this child. So, you believe... Sheba survived...? Yes. I am sure of it. Just because Sheba ...was an Adept? An Adept... What is that? Well, it's... It's someone with abilities like theirs. Isaac, you and your friends are truly amazing. You were able to enter the ancient ruins and get to Venus Lighthouse. But Sheba was different. She couldn't enter the ruins. That's just because Sheba's abilities are different from theirs. No matter how many times I explain that to Faran... He doesn't get it! Garet, don't be rude... Unfortunately, we don't have time to talk. We've got to go! That's right. I didn't mean to keep you... That didn't come out right... We mean that while we're talking, Jenna and the others are lost at sea. I understand your desire to leave as soon as possible. The seas have been very rough since the beacon was lit. Be careful! You, too. Farewell. Take care... and farewell! Thank you very much. I hope your search for Sheba yields success. But tell me, what of Jenna and the others? The same. We've searched all over, but they're nowhere to be found. The ground tore apart from the shock of the lighthouse... And then Idejima was swept out to sea... My goodness... Then... Jenna and the others must have... Felix said at the lighthouse that he sent Jenna ahead to the ship. But we think they survived. They may have been washed out to sea with Idejima... So, we have decided to continue searching for Jenna. Haven't we, Isaac? You will find Jenna. I know it... Farewell. Please wait for me outside Faran's house. I wish to speak with you. So, there are good folk like Isaac and his companions in Angara. Ah... If only I were younger... I would travel to Angara myself... I must explain their promise to Lord Babi, before it's too late! Where are you going, Isaac? Iodem asked us to wait. Did you forget? We're going to need to work on your memory, Isaac. I know we need to leave, but we should hear what Iodem has to say. We can delay our departure a little longer. Let's wait. Thank you for waiting for me. As you no doubt have guessed, I need to speak with you about Lemuria. Yes, the island of the ancients far out to sea. When you could not find Jenna, you returned to Venus Lighthouse. Yeah. The base of the lighthouse was flooded, so we couldn't get out. And that's when you gazed out to sea, as you promised Babi you would. Yes... And we saw an area wrapped in mist. I remembered how Babi said Lemuria was always covered in mist. I am not sure, but I am beginning to think that may be Lemuria... If it is, then Babi's life... ...could be saved? Yes. Then I guess we have no choice but to go... Good. Then it's settled. I'll make arrangements for you to leave at once. You swore an oath. It is meaningless unless you go immediately. But...we have to find Jenna first... That is the other reason I wanted to see you... to give you this. Iodem takes out the Black Orb. Oh, isn't that... You will need it to sail Babi's ship. Babi told me the ship of the ancients is an incredible vessel. It will make your search for Jenna easier. We appreciate it. But I want you to find Lemuria as soon as possible. We promised Babi we would find Lemuria. We will not fail him. Isaac got the Black Orb. The ship is docked at the edge of town. You will know it when you see it. Farewell! And bring back news of Lemuria! Right on, Isaac! We finally get to see the ocean! To sea we go! It is time to depart. I thought the ship we saw at Idejima was Babi's... His ship is here in Lalivero. So the ship at the peninsula was Saturos's ship! Perhaps, but we have no way of finding that out now... Yes... They're gone... But now we can sail the ship of the ancients! It certainly will aid us in our search for Jenna. Where are you going? Aren't we taking Babi's ship? Then we should head to that wharf the soldier in town was guarding. I was told to let you in if you showed up... The door is open. Apparently, a ship has been docked here all this time... It must be a very special ship. This sure seems like a strange place for Babi to moor his yacht. Ha ha! I thought they had done me in for sure, but I'm all better now. I will never let my guard down again. We will be the ones to protect Lalivero from danger... Where could Sheba be now? I'm so worried. Are you leaving Lalivero? I do not know where you are headed, but wherever it is, you will do fine. You are staying? Splendid! Me and all the Laliverans will feel much safer. I saw the beacon of Venus Lighthouse light up... It was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen... The explosion in the Venus ruins caused Babi Lighthouse to crumble. The works of man can never withstand such mystical power. The peninsula behind Venus Lighthouse is flooded... The powers of the ancients are fierce! I can't believe you escaped Venus Lighthouse. What? The tunnel under the lighthouse is not flooded? So that's how you came back, huh? If you defeated that evil bunch, you must be mighty warriors! Sheba jumped into the ocean from atop the lighthouse? Unbelievable! No trespassing. Danger beyond this point. I am all healed now, but I lost all my confidence after being beaten. Even if I return to Tolbi, I will never fight again. I wanted to be a part of the battle at Venus Lighthouse. If Sheba used her great powers, then she must still be alive. But surviving such rough seas must be very difficult. After everything that's happened, Lalivero no longer feels safe. Venus Lighthouse has been the symbol of Lalivero since the olden days... The lighting of the beacon may be a sign of good things to come... Iodem of Tolbi doesn't seem too disappointed about Babi Lighthouse... It must have just been another whim of that tyrant, Babi... The ocean is so rough since the peninsula was washed away. They say one strange event invites another... leading to great disaster. Venus Lighthouse is still standing strong despite what happened. It must have been built by the gods... You must be great warriors to defeat them... Can I become your apprentice? Sheba would be fine—even after falling from such a height... The continent broke apart around the lighthouse, and the lands beyond it are now far from the continent of Gondowan. Will they ever return? What happened to those living on the other side of the lighthouse? I shudder to think what would happen if our town was washed out to sea. We're lucky that we live north of the lighthouse. If we didn't, we wouldn't have made it. Everyone says that Sheba is okay... Is that true? I realized how thoughtless I was after what happened... Lalivero needs Sheba. If she is indeed the child of the gods, she will survive. We want to believe in something at times like this. If we had Sheba now, I could have relied on her. Sheba should be fine. She was fine when she fell from the sky. The height of the lighthouse is nothing to her! Sheba will wake when the beacon in Venus Lighthouse is lit. Then, Lalivero will be free from Tolbi's grip... Seeing Sheba dive must have been beautiful... I can't wait until Sheba is back. All of Lalivero is awaiting her return. Babi Lighthouse crumbled when all the lands shook. No one can enter now because it is too dangerous inside. I always wanted a break, but being on vacation all the time is no fun. So the ruins really are connected to Venus Lighthouse. I knew it! What Sheba said was true! You finally solved the mystery of the ruins... I had no idea these ruins were connected to Venus Lighthouse. Will they continue on, or quit now that Babi Lighthouse has crumbled? I'm worried that we won't get paid now that the construction has ended. We can't possibly dig a hole from here to Venus Lighthouse. It must have been very difficult for those who made this tunnel. The mystery of the ruins should have remained a mystery. Faran says knowing her powers, Sheba is alive without a doubt. But I can't be as sure as Faran until I see her. You are leaving after all, aren't you... You are welcome in Lalivero anytime. They say the lighthouse crumbled down. That's as it should be. You will find Jenna someday. Farewell. Isaac, that boat belongs to you now. Do not hesitate to use it any way you wish. I don't need fame or fortune... I just want Sheba to be safe. Sheba... Why won't anyone stop Isaac and his friends from leaving us? Tolbi is to be blamed for what happened to Sheba! Tolbi should be cursed and destroyed! So there are some people like Isaac and his friends in Angara... If only I were a little younger... I'd go to Angara... Please use that ship to find Lemuria, the land that Lord Babi sought. I went to the ocean to look for Sheba today, but it was so rough. No one could possibly swim in an ocean that rough. We wanted to send ships out to sea to find Sheba, but we can't yet. The ships would all capsize in the rough waters. When will the ocean be calm again? It is impossible to go out on the ocean now. Be careful when you do. The Champa who rule the seas are frightful people. Beware. The Champa are people from a coastal village in Angara. I didn't know it at the time, but that loud noise was the sound of the beacon being lit. The inn guests all became scared and ran outside. I must say, it is nice to see the light of the beacon at night. Fishing is so difficult nowadays because the ocean is so rough. We have little to cook when we can't fish. That's no good for us! Why would the lighting make such a loud noise? Was that the noise of that star-like thing above the lighthouse? I'm sleepy. These bright nights have been keeping me up late. Gee... What am I going to cook for dinner tonight? Babi Lighthouse was struck down, just as I knew it would be. First, the lighthouse was struck down. Next, Babi himself will be punished. It looks like it's finally time to leave Gondowan. It's so strange... We've been traveling for so long, and yet it feels like we've only just begun. Now that I think about it, so many things have happened. But our journey will be over as soon as we find Jenna, right? The end of one journey, but the beginning of another? No way! What did you say? Our next journey? What journey is that? You didn't forget, did you, Garet? Our promise to Babi. Oh... Lemuria! I wonder what kind of place Lemuria is. We have to find Jenna before going to Lemuria, don't we? Yeah. That's important. Huh? Jenna's going to be very sad when I tell her what you said! At any rate, this will be our first time on the ocean. So this is the ocean Kraden wanted me to see. The seas are very rough. Do you think we will be okay? This is a Lemurian ship. We'll be fine. I guess it's hard to say. Still, we must go, just the same... Well... Shall we, then? To sea... Jenna is waiting for us! Oh, Kraden... How long will this island continue to drift? I don't know... I wish you could tell me. Sheesh... You're no help in times like this. Hey, I'm hungry... How can you think about food? I wonder what happened to my brother... I can't be certain, but it looks like they lit the Venus beacon. You don't have to tell me that. That's how we wound up adrift at sea, right? You are so cranky today, Jenna! Well, I suppose you must be worried about Felix. Isaac and his friends must have been nearby, too. They probably were... I miss them... Isaac... Felix... There is something I wish to show you. Walk this way. Felix... Sheba... Felix! Sheba! They... They're alive. They're alive! What is this? Alex, what happened?
