<><> OVERVIEW <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [OVR] <>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Another script guide from me for FF Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time, after
the "Chronicles Script" guide for the same game. At first, I'd like to combine
those two, but the making of the "Game Script" guide could take a very long time
so I decided to split them individually. The "Chronicles Script" came first, as
it is easier to make (just read and write it down after completing the game),
while the "Game Script" need a *whole* replay as you need to record any events
in the game, from start to finish... @_@ Anyway, I think that I'm still lucky
coz there's no alternate plots in this game ^_^
so, here it is, the script that you will encounter in the game, including all
voice actings, events, and also when you talk to the townsfolk where you can get
some valuable and crucial informations, such as access to certain places, etc.
I will also include the description of the ongoing events as needed. Note that
I may not mention all conversations / scripts, only for those that still
have relationship with the story plot. For instance, informations you get if
you talk to the people in town; but not for Mercenaries, or that guy that keep
providing you with absurd-fried-monster-menu quests, including Moogles that
giving you tutorials (even the villain will give you some! XD). Hmm...but okay,
if you DO kinda miss the tutorials, etc. or want to review them, please look at
section "Miscellaneous" [MSC]. It should be there. Oh, and one more
thing, I will refer the character you are playing with... [X]. Sorry, but
there's no default name for the character... Some parts could be different,
like when the main character is addressed with "he" or "him" which could be
affected by the gender of the currently selected main character. Some parts also
address the character with "Clavat", this could also be the same, but I haven't
tested them yet. For your info, I choose a male Clavat as my character.
Also, because my mother-language is not English, I'm sorry for any mistakes
that may occur, especally when describing events... @_@ Phew... this is maybe
the longest guide I ever made up to this point.
<> NOTE <>
For the "Chronicles Script" guide, you should be able to find it in the same
site where you found this guide.
Contact address provided at the end of the guide (see "Copyright" section).
One more note, did you notice that " <> " throughout all the guide? Well, try
to change the font type using "Lucida Console" or such, it should look better.
I meant it to be somewhat like a crystal, but standard "Courier" font type
makes it look wierd... (sigh) Not compulsory, but if it bothers your sight,
just try it :)
<> !!! SPOILER ALERT !!! <>
Because this guide will also record events in the game, there will automatically
be HEAVY spoilers... There's no way I can evade that. So, don't tell I didn't
warn you... ^_^

<><> GAME SCRIPT <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [SCR] <>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Some quick briefing before you get confused any further :
<> Sentences in [ ] are explanations / descriptions of an ongoing event or
a scene.
<> Character name in { } means that you will get that conversations *if*
you talk to that person (not a scene).
<> Blank line between speech means a different conversation after you talk
to a person the second time and so on.
<> A * before a speech means the speech sentences is the default conversation
you will get after you talk to a person several times.
<> A | at the left signifies related conversation, triggered by talking to
any person taking part in the conversation.
<> # xxx # means choices (appear at the bottom screen), effect for each one
is described accordingly.
<> A [MANDATORY] means that one need to be obtained in order to
progress in the game. If it's a non-scene script, you have to obtain it
manually (you MUST talk to the person(s) involved there), while the
scene script will always be obtained automatically.
One more thing, I will give a brief descriptions of each NPC of each locations,
so you can understand which person I mean in the script. Hope it works... :)
I will only mention it at the first time you visit the location, such as:
Village (1), Town (1), etc. So, if you're on Village (2), you should look the
NPC description in Village (1). And, uhm... Moogle is not included, you should
have known what they look like, winged little fluffy rabbit-like Square-Enix
creature... always the same in all FF worlds.
Enjoy!

[ Wake up in the village, and today is the coming-of-age ceremony, congrats! ]
Ilina:
Good morning, [X]. Did you have that
dream again?
Aw, come on, cheer up. Today's the
day for your coming-of-age ceremony!
Sherlotta is waiting for you in the
forest. Good luck!
{Ilina} :
Awake at last, are we? Well, happy
birthday, [X]. It's the big one-six,
huh?
* We're throwing a party when you get
back from your coming-of-age
ceremony.
I'm making your favourite treats, so
make sure you pass!
But isn't it funny you having the
SAME dream, like, every night?
Hey, I know. It's because you miss
Sherlotta, isn't it? Aw, that's so
CUTE!
ANY-hoo, you better get to the
forest for that ceremony, pronto!
{Eryll} :
Good morning, [X]! Looks like you
overslept, huh?
I can't talk though. I only just woke
up myself.
*sigh* I DID go to bed nice and
early. Seems like I'm always sleeping
these days.
Mum always said that kids needs sleep
to grow up healthy and strong.
At this rate, I'll be the strongest
girl in the village in no time!
* You sleep in EVERY morning. Is that
why you grew up so fast?
[ If you talk to Lian ]
| {Lian} :
|
| Ta-de-dum. This year's going to be
| another bumper crop, I just know it!
| Yep. I'm goin' to put Jennifer here,
| and Amanda over there.
| Stephanie, you'll be behind Christina
| near the back. You're all going to be
| so beautiful!
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| You know, Lian. I REALLY wish you'd
| stop naming your vegetables.
|
| {Lian} :
|
| Eryll, are you kidding? That's the
| most important bit.
| Hm...?
| Oh, hey [X]. Man, you like your beauty
| sleep, huh?
| But as of today, you're real
| grown-up. You have to start acting
| like one.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Why? What's so special about today?
| Wait... It isn't [X]'s birthday, is
| it!?
| I-I didn't plan any surprises or
| anything!
|
| {Lian} :
|
| Hey, it's cool. Ilina said she was
| going to set something up. Why don't
| you go and help her?
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Okay, I'll do that. Later!
|
| [ She then rushes to Ilina ]
|
| {Lian} :
|
| [X], you be nice to Eryll, okay? You
| know she's my favorite little sister.
{Lian} :
* Er, anyway, happy birthday, okay?
{Eryll} :
* Why didn't anybody tell me? Sorry,
[X]. Really.
[ If you talk to Aurdy ]
| {Aurdy} :
|
| Young [X], is it? Did you sleep well?
| Today is your sixteenth birhtday. A
| very important day!
| Whenever the young people of this
| village turn sixteen, they must go
| into the forest.
| There, they are recognized as adults
| in a coming-of-age ceremony.
| Do you see how crystal-clear this
| water is?
| in the same way, the ceremony will
| cleanse your soul and body...
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| Hey, [X]!
| You don't have time to stand around
| listening to Gramps yap all day.
| You've got to get to the forest!
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| Ilina, where are your manners?
| I am the headman of this village. The
| headman! And I expect to be treated
| as such.
| We've been looking forward to this
| day for sixteen years.
| I'm sure [X] wants to hear my thoughts
| on this occasion.
| Today is also your birthday, of
| course.
| Yes, yes...
| I have as much right as anyone to
| enjoy this ocassion! I'm the village
| headman, after all.
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| Oh, just ignore Gramps, [X]. It's the
| same old speech he ALWAYS gives.
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| GRRRRRR!
{Aurdy} :
* I'll have you know I stayed up all
night preparing my speech!
{Bachenn} :
* ZZZZZZ...ZZZZZZZZZZZZ...
NNN...ZERK...
Piece of...old junk...still goin'...
ZZZZZZ...
NMPH...

BWAAAH!!!
*pant pant pant*
...ZZZZZZZZZ
[ If you talk to the Ullz or Phelple ]
| {Ullz} :
|
| Hey, [X]. Guess today you become a
| grown-up, huh?
| Last night Pa and some others went
| off to the forest to prepare
| somethin'.
| They wouldn't tell me what, though.
| Nope. Didn't mention your name or
| nothin'.
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Don't you know ANYTHING? They're
| holding a ceremony in the forest for
| [X].
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| O-kay. But if you're so smart, why
| don't you tell me what they DO at the
| ceremony?
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| W-well, er... It's, you know.
| You tie a rope around your ankles
| and, er, jump off a cliff.
| ...
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| That...is...so...
| AWESOME!
| Ain't that cool, [X]!? I can't wait for
| MY growing-up ceremony!
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| ...
{Ullz} :
* You are SO lucky!
{Phelple} :
* ...
So, anyway. Good luck!
[ If you talk to Tratt or Toumli ]
| {Tratt} :
|
| Toumli, you better have some coffee,
| girl.
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| Oh, I'am althright.
| Ah, gooth morning, [X].
| Congrathulations on your birthday!
| Oh, don'th mind me. I wash awake all
| nighth and my tongue gets thleepy
| when I'm tired.
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| Look, why don't you just go to bed
| for a bit? No one can understand you
| anyway.
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| Oh no, oh no. I have to wahs [X] pash
| the ceremony.
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| You'll be asleep long before then, I
| bet...
| Aw, whatever.
| Good morning, [X]. Today's finally the
| day, huh? Are you ready?
| * The coming-of-age ceremony'll be a
| piece of cake. Just go in, get the job
| done, and get out fast.

|
| {Tratt} :
|
| * ...
| Anyway, like I said. Don't mess
| around and you'll be fine.
[ If you talk to Waltrill or Norschtalen ]
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Oh, Teacher, can you teach ME
| magic?
| Please-please-please-PLEEEAAASE?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Grrr, NO! How many times do I have
| to tell ye? Ye're still too young.
| Oh, hello [X]. Today's the big day,
| eh?
| As soon as the ceremony is over, ye'll
| officially be an adult.
| If ye wish to pursue the magic arts,
| I'd be more than happy to take ye on
| as a student.
| Under my guidance, ye could become
| one of the great spell casters. If ye
| want it enough, that is.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Aw, Teacher, it isn't FAIR!
| Listen, [X], if you DO decide to learn
| magic with Teacher, remember I was
| here FIRST.
| That puts me in charge. Whatever I
| say goes. Agreed?
| Around here, I'm the boss character!
[ If you talk to Waltrill or Norschtalen again ]
| {Waltrill} :
|
| *chuckle* To think ye're all grown up
| already.
| Ye know, it's up to ye now to choose
| yer future path.
| From here on out, ye're responsible
| for yer own decisions and behaviour.
| Act with honor, and never have any
| regrets.
| ...Fancy speech, huh, kiddo?
| But remember-it doesn't count until
| ye complete that coming-of-age
| ceremony.
| ...
| Because ye never know. Not everyone
| passes!
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Teacher! You're not implying that [X]
| won't-?
| Don't listen to him, [X]. I'm SURE
| you'll be fine!
{Waltrill} :
* Good luck to ye!
{Norschtalen} :
Oh gosh, I almost forgot...
Happy birthday, [X]!
You're a real grown-up now. I'm SO
jealous. * Good luck with the ceremony!
{Moogle} :
There you are, kupo!
* Sherlotta is waiting for you in the
forest. If you think you're ready, go
on in, kupo!
Oh, by the way. That Save Stone is
for saving your game, kupo!
You can also use Save Stone to
switch to multiplayer, kupo.

Well, kid, you made it through the test.
I guess that proves you know your stuff.
I suppose I'm going to have to pass you, huh?
What did you expect?
Fireworks and dancing bears?
I do have something for you, though.
[ She jumps down and floats mid-air above the pond center, then shows [X]

Just think of it as a little graduation present.
Here, take it.

But I didn't really have anything else
I could give you.
*shrug* Hope you like it anyway.
Happy birthday, [X].
{Sherlotta} :
How was your first battle? Tougher
than you thought?
Those old things always have a weak
point. It's usually marked with some
kind of design or decoration.
Did you notice the pattern on its
head?
If you're in a fight and nothing you
do seems to have an effect, check out
the foe really carefully.
You're a real grown-up now. You have
to learn how to take care of
yourself.
Anyway, your coming-of-age ceremony
is over. Well done, kiddo.
Boy. To think my little [X] is a
grown-up already.
Seems like just yesterday you were
only knee-high. Time really does fly.
...Hehe, don't mind me. Just
reminiscing. Anyway, time to head
back to the village.
You're not injured or anything,
right? So go on ahead. I'll catch you
later.
Here, let me open up the shortcut for
you.
* I'll catch you later. You head back to
the village. Everyone'll be waiting.
<><><> Village (2) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [VL02]
[ Returning to the village after meeting with Sherlotta in the forest
- MANDATORY ]
| Eryll :
|
| Hey, [X], welcome back!
| How'd it go? Did you do it? Did you
| get hurt?
|
| [ [X] showing the crystal given by Sherlotta ]
|
| Oooh, wow!
| Congratulations!
|
| Sherlotta :
|
| What are you doing hanging around
| here?
|
| Eryll :
|
| Hey, Sherlotta, welcome back.
|
| Sherlotta :
|
| Remember, you're a grown-up now. You
| can't just play all the time like you
| used to.
| You have to start preparing to live
| your own life, on your own two feet.
|
| Eryll :
|
| But if [X] goes off on his own, won't
| that make you feel lonely?
|
| Sherlotta :
|
| I-I beg your pardon?
|
| Eryll :
|
| Oh, nothing. Don't mind me.
| Anyway, let's go. We made a REALLY
| tasty meal. I helped cook it and
| everything!
|
| Sherlotta :
|
| That sounds wonderful.
|
| Eryll :
|
| Come on, everyone'll be waiting...
|
| [ She suddenly fall down to her knees ]
|
| U-ungh...?
| [X]? Sherlotta? I-I don't feel so
| good...
|
| Sherlotta :
|
| Eryll!?
[ Eryll passed out, [X] and Sherlotta helps her. Scene moves to one of the
houses in the village, where all the villagers gather outside ]
| Norschtalen :
|
| Sherlotta! Is Eryll all right? Is she
| okay?
|
| Sherlotta :
|
| She's feeling a lot better now. Lian
| and Ilina are looking after her.
|
| Teacher :
|
| But this sickness. Can it be...?
|
| Sherlotta :
|
| There's no doubt about it. She's
| caught the crystal sickness.
|
| Toumli :
|
| B-but how could that be? Why Eryll?
| And why now?
|
| Norschtalen :
|
| What's the "crystal sickness"? She'll
| be all right, won't she? We have
| medicine, right?
|
| Teacher :
|
| There IS a cure. But the ingredients
| we need cannot be found in this
| forest.
|
| Norschtalen :
|
| So...
| So we have to look outside the
| forest, right!? The ingredients must
| be SOMEWHERE.
| We just have to find them.
| Please, PLEASE! We HAVE to make
| Eryll better again.
| I'll do anything, anything at all. I'll
| study magic every night. I'll clean my
| room without being told, I'll...
|
| Teacher :
|
| ...
|
| Norschtalen :
|
| *gasp*
| ...
| N-no, no, NO!
| Please, Bachenn, help her! She was
| my very first friend in the village!
|
| Bachenn :
|
| ...
|
| Norschtalen :
|
| Phelple! You're Eryll's friend. Why
| don't you do something? Please!
|
| Phelple :
|
| Er...well...
|
| Norschtalen :
|
| Why is everyone just standing
| around!? If we don't do anything,
| Eryll might...
|
| Aurdy :
|
| ...
| You see...
| We can never leave this village. None
| of us can. It is the Law, and we must
| obey it.
|
| Norschtalen :
|
| Th-the Law...?
| Who made that up? Who went and
| decided something like that?
| You're saying that you're all willing
| to watch Eryll die just because of
| some tupid RULE!?
|
| Teacher :
|
| Norschtalen, that is enough!
|
| Norschtalen :
|
| But...
| But, I-I...
| What about Eryll!? *sob*
|
| [ She runs away ]
[ If you talk to Waltrill or Sherlotta ]
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Crystal sickness? I expected [X] to
| succumb, but not someone like Eryll.
| We are supposed to be safe from the
| illness. The world is changing, after
| all this time...
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Sherlotta?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| It's just... Oh, never mind.
| Our concern right now is Eryll. The
| crystal sickness CAN be cured, if we
| have the right medicine.
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| There's no guarantee that it would
| work on the young girl, not in the
| state she's in.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Agreed. But we have to try
| regardless. There's simply no other
| way.
| I'll have to leave the village and
| search for medicine... out there.
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| No, no, impossible. We need ye here,
| to watch over Eryll in case her
| condition worsens.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| But I'm the only one who can go into
| the outside world. Who else?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Well, there IS somebody.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Uh-uh, no way!
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Remember, [X] has completed his
| coming-of-age ceremony.
| It's time [X] be allowed to stand on
| his own two feet.
| Besides, he's going to have to learn
| about the outside world sooner or
| later.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Yeah, yeah, I know. But...
| It's a big, dangerous world out there
| for a child. How can I help but be
| scared for him?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Ye see how much Sherlotta loves ye,
| [X]?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Huh?
| H-how long have you been...!?
{Waltrill} :
Don't ye mind Norschtalen, now.
She's just so worried about little
Eryll that she doesn't know what
she's saying.
The crystal sickness that Eryll has
caught...
is a disease that's been around these
parts for hundred years.
In the old days, many people caught it
in their youth. But we had medicine
that fixed it soon enough.
The thing is, almost no one falls ill
with it anymore. Except for that
other time...
We never think to keep the
ingredients on hand. What would be
the point?
These days, I reckon most folk
haven't even heard of the crystal
sickness!
* Ye're not bound by the Law of the
village like we are.
Ye can do and act as ye please. Ye
can go where ye want...
{Sherlotta} :
* Listen, I DO trust you. You know
that, right? I believe you can do
anything you put your mind to!
{Norschtalen} :
[X], I'm SO sorry about earlier. I just
kind of lost it.
I know the village has its rules... I
was wrong to yell.
...
[X], if you leave this village and
follow the main road, eventually
you'll reach a big town.
I used to live there, before I came
here to study with Teacher.
It's full of scholars and adventurers
who travel there from all over the
world.
I'm sure someone will be able to sell
you the medicine you need for Eryll.
I'd love to go with you, but I have
such a terrible sense of direction,
I'd never find the way.
The truth is, I only stumbled onto
this village because I got completely
lost in the woods.
Teacher is the one who saved me.
Since then I've gone out lots of times
on errands for Teacher...
but I've never even made it out of the
woods, let alone reached town.
I always get lost and someone has to
come and rescue me.
Oooh, Eryll, I'm sorry. I can't do
ANYTHING.
Please, please help her, [X]. She's the
first friend I ever had in this
village.
If something were to happen to her, I
don't know what I'd do!
* I know you'll find the perfect
medicine in town. Bring it back and
save Eryll!
{Aurdy} :
[X], it is most unfortunate this has
happened on your birthday.
I never imagined Eryll would succumb
to the crystal sickness.
Although she IS about the age...
The sickness affects some people who
live near crystals. It usually strikes
in childhood.
[X], you grew up here, so you don't
think giant crystals are particularly
unusual...
but in the outside world, they
probably no longer exist.
The crystal in this forest is very
special. It is the last of its kind in
the world.
Once upon a time, crystals were
everywhere, and the crystal sickness
was common.
Well, we call it a sickness, but it's
actually something different.
People who catch it become stronger.
Afterwards, they never fall ill
again.
We considered it a blessing, and
celebrated whenever a child fell ill
with it.
Do you remember when you caught it?
You were the same age as Eryll.
You've never been sick since then,
have you?
And when you get hurt, you heal much
faster than normal people. That's the
crystal sickness, too.
* But despite that, Eryll is in serious
danger.
Even if we had the medicine...
[ If you talk to Phelple or Toumli ]
| {Toumli} :
|
| * Phelple...
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Mum, is Eryll okay?
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| Ilina and Lian are looking after her.
| They say she's feeling a little
| better.
| We'll bring her some fruit later, all
| right?
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| She looked really sick, huh? She
| couldn't even stand up.
| But when she gets better, she'll be
| stronger than before.
| After she recovers, she won't get
| sick all the time like she used to.
| Right?
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| That's right. You'll be playing
| together in no time.
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Yeah. I sure hope they cure her REAL
| soon!
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| ...
{Phelple} :
* Yeah. I sure hope they cure Eryll
REAL soon!
[ If you talk to Bachenn, Ullz or Tratt ]
| {Tratt} :
|
| Can't we make for Eryll with
| ingredients from the forest?
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| No. When [X] got sick we searched and
| searched, but no luck.
| Waltrill knows the recipe, but we
| just don't have the ingredients we
| need.
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| That girl has a weak stomach, too. I
| AM worried about her.
| Crystal sickness always hits hardest
| the first few days. I wish we could
| do something.
| I just hate seeing her in pain like
| that, trying to act brave.
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| * If only we had medicine...
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| What ingredients do we need? Maybe I
| could look for it?
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| I don't think so!
| It's attached to a very powerful
| monster.
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| ...
| I guess monster huntin' is kinda over
| my head.
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| Ya think?
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| *sigh* What a pair...
{Ullz} :
* I sure hope she gets better soon...
{Tratt} :
* *sigh* I'm worried...

directly to the Town. This is here just for completion sake only...
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
{Guard} :
I haven't seen you around before. Are
you new?
Come to see the ruins, have you?
Well, they are pretty famous, I
guess.
But you must REALLY like ruins if
you've come all the way out here!
I don't understand the attraction
myself.
This thing here was built back in the
ancient times. It's some kind of gate,
obviously.
Although the only thing it leads to is
a great big hole in the ground. You be
careful not to fall in!
I wonder why the ancients built an
elaborate gate that leads to nowhere.
There's nothing beyond but wasteland
as far as the eye can see.
Frontier Control sent me to keep
watch here, but I'm not exactly sure
what I'm supposed to be guarding.
*sigh* I sure hope this assignment
doesn't last too long.
Either way you look at it, it's a
gate. And it's all I HAVE to look at
until my assignment's over.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ First / front part of Town ]
[ If you talk to the Yuke * first * in town entrance ]
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| Is this your first visit?
| In the middle of this town there is a
| great library.
| Archeologists from the world over
| gather here to study artifacts of the
| ancient civilization.
| It's a fine thing that a young lad like
| yourself would come here for the
| sake of your own betterment.
| What better way for a young person
| to spend his time...
| than reflecting on the legends of the
| ancient civilization and partaking of
| its wisdom?
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| There you go again, trying to turn
| every newcomer you see into a
| bookworm archeologist!
| There's more to this town than that
| musty old library!
| Treasure hunters come here from all
| over the place, looking for the
| fortunes hidden in the nearby ruins.
| Yep, this town is full of adventurers
| who dare to dream big.
| If you're looking for willing
| companions, you'll find plenty of them
| here.
|
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| Bah, treasure hunters, my eye!
| Bandits and grave robbers, that's all
| they are!
| This town would be better off
| without the lot of them.
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Oh, shuddit!
|
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| No, sir, you shut it!
| Harrumph!
[ If you talk to the Selkie * first * in town entrance ]
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Hey-ho, what's up? You're new in
| town, huh?
| This place is the main watering hole
| for treasure hunters...
| searching for whatever's left of the
| ancient civilization.
| You've got a hankering for gold, too,
| right, kid?
| Well, you're going to fit in just fine
| here. This town is full of dreamers!
| If you're looking for fellow
| adventurers to hook up with...
| drop by the guild and talk to the guys
| and girls there.
|
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| Just one moment, PLEASE! Those
| so-called treasure hunters of the
| guild are nothing but grave robbers!
| You should know better than to try
| to mislead a nice young lad such as
| this.
| In the middle of this town there is a
| great library.
| Archeologists from the world over
| gather here to study artifacts of the
| ancient civilization.
| What better way for a young person
| to spend his time...
| than reflecting on the romance of the
| ancient civilization and partaking of
| its wisdom?
| Do not allow yourself to be led into
| wicked ways!
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Oh, pipe down, scroll-head.
| Of we didn't dig up those treasures,
| you scholars wouldn't have anything
| to study!
|
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| Poppycock! If you cared about
| learning, you would donate your
| findings to the museum.
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Hey, I gotta eat like everyone else,
| old man.
|
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| Harrumph!
[ If you talk to the Yuke the second time ]
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| ...Well, young lad, why don't you tell
| me where you come from?
| There's nothing around this town but
| ancient ruins and wastelands...
| stretching away as far as the eye can
| see.
| I know of no other towns or villages
| nearby. And you don't look like an
| experienced traveler.
| It must have been frightfully
| difficult for you to come all this
| way.
| ...What's that? The forest, you
| say!?
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| You don't mean THAT forest! The
| place where witches dwell and the
| trees grow so thick and close...
| that not even the sun can penetrate
| its eerie depths?
|
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| ...
| Y-you shouldn't joke about things like
| that.
[ If you talk to the Selkie the second time ]
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| So, anyway. Where'd you come from,
| kid?
| There ain't nothing around here but
| ruins and wastelands.
| No villages, no towns at all. You
| don't LOOK like a traveler...
| It must have been real tough coming
| out all this way.
| ...Say what? You came from the
| forest?
| You're kidding, right? "Primeval"
| doesn't even begin to describe it.
| People don't live in that forest.
| Heck, not even us treasure hunters
| have taken more than three steps into
| it.
|
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| Yes, yes. The townspeople often
| speak of the witch that they believe
| lives there.
| Of course, it's just a superstition,
| but clearly the forest is a
| dangerous, dangerous place.
| You'd best stay well away from it,
| young lad.
| And, please, don't joke about living
| there. People here might get the
| wrong idea...
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| ...Hmmm.
| A joke... Yeah, I guess it had to be.
| ...Right?
| ...
{Male Yuke} :
* Dark humor doesn't suit you. Forget
about that forest, and stop telling
stories about it!
{Male Selkie} :
* ...
[ If you talk to the dog on the Equipment shop desk ]
{Dog} :
Woof?
[ If you talk to the cat near the Custom Fabrication shop ]
| {Cat} :
|
| Meow!
|
| {Custom Fabrication Shopkeeper} :
|
| Oooh, my Claus Kaiser is being all
| affectionate!
| *cough*
| Ahem, do excuse me.
|
| {Cat} :
|
| Purr!
|
| {Custom Fabrication Shopkeeper} :
|
| Oh, he must really like you. He never
| does that to me!
| ...
| Not that I'm JEALOUS or anything...

| * Meow!

| {Custom Fabrication Shopkeeper} :
|
| * ...Tsk.
{Equipment Shopkeeper} :
Welcome!
* From morning to night, Ye Compleat
Adventurer is here to support all
your exploring and plundering needs.
Eh? Crystal sickness medicine?
This isn't a pharmacy, you know...
and I've never heard of that disease.
Would a nice flask of Cure do the
trick?
That's about all we have in stock.
[ After buying, first time only ]
We're working with our suppliers to
expand our range. Drop by every now
and then to see what's new.
[ After buying ]
* Thank you!
{Custom Fabrication Shopkeeper} :
* Hello. Welcome to Custom
Fabrications.
We produce custom items using
materials provided by our clients.
Not only can we customize equipment
you already own...
but if you buy a scroll, we can take
your custom orders and produce
completely new items.
What can we do for you today?
Hm? Medicine for crystal sickness?
Well, I'm afraid we can't help you
with that.
Perhaps there's something else we can
do for you?
[ After buying ]
* Thank you. Come again soon!
[ Second / main part (plaza) of Town ]
{Clavat Lady} :
Hello. I haven't seen you before. Are
you new in town?
This is the main plaza, and over
there is the great library. It's the
town's pride and joy.
It was built at the same time as the
ancient ruins that surround the town.
But over the centuries, it's been
renovated and rebuilt so many
times...
it's become like a maze inside.
People were always getting lost, so
the authorities sealed most of it
off.
Nowadays, hardly anyone knows what
lies in the deeper recesses of the
building.
But listen to me, I sound like a tour
guide! I mean, you don't LOOK like a
tourist.
And my guess is you're not here for
the archeology or the treasure
hunting...
Hm? Medicine for crystal sickness?
I've never heard of that disease!
Maybe you should ask the old
gentleman in the library?
I think he's read every book in that
library. He must know everything
about everything!
I'm sure he would be able to help.
* If you want to know about that
crystal stuff, talk to the old man in
the library.
{Male Selkie} :
Eh? The crystal sickness? Naw,
can't say I've ever heard of it.
Sounds bad, though!
...
Is that right? It's something that
kids catch?
Well, I've always been as strong as
an ox, so I wouldn't know anything
about getting sick.
Why don't you try asking someone
else?
Oooh, I know. You could go to the
library. I'm sure they have books
about medicine.
That great huge library takes up half
of the town. It would be nice if someone
got some use out of it!
* If you went to the library, I bet
you'd find books about medicine.
[ If you talk to the Clavat Man 1 or Male Lilty near the town fountain ]
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Ew, there it is AGAIN.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Yeah. The town fountain is turning
| into something the swamp thing
| wouldn't want to live in!
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| * Man, it stinks.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| * Sure does.
| It's kind of like rotting fish and wet
| fur, all at the same time. Yuck.
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| We've got to do something! You think
| an animal has gotten into the
| underground aqueducts?
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Ungh, I feel sick. Why don't YOU
| check it out? I really don't like
| dank, smelly places.
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Who does? Except, maybe, for certain
| magic beasts. Which I'm not, by the
| way!
| Wait. You don't think...?
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| ...
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| * PHEW-EE!
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| * Yep. Super stinky.
[ If you talk either to the Lilty Kid, her Mother, or the female Yuke ]
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| AWWW, come ON!
| Please-please-PLEASE!
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| That's enough! I told you, if you
| drink too many cold drinks you'll get
| a tummy ache.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| But I'm so THIIIRSTY...
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Then drink some water.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| EWWW, no WAY!
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| You know what happens to naughty
| children, don't you?
| The wicked witch of the forest
| comes and takes them away!
| And once you're in the woods, you
| won't ever be able to get out again.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Oh, that's not true. That's just a
| stupid story to scare kids.
| There aren't any witches in the
| forest.
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Actually, every word of it is true.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Eh...?
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| ...
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| ...
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Y-you're just trying to scare me. But
| I don't believe in witches!
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| I used to think the same. That is,
| until I went to the forest and saw
| the witch with my very own eyes!
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| N-no way...!
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Yep. I saw her, all right.
| It was years and years ago now.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Oh, so it's an OLD story, is it?
| Well, I guess we're safe now, right?
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| People have been telling stories
| about a young girl wandering that
| forest for as long as I can remember.
| I suppose people figured she must be
| a witch or something.
| Anyway, the stories have been passed
| from parent to child down through
| the years.
| My mother heard it from her
| grandmother, and SHE heard it from
| my gerat-granddad. And so on.
| We Yukes live long, long lives.
| But when I saw that girl in the
| forest, she looked just like she's
| described in the old stories.
| So imagine how old she must be!
| The lands around here are full of
| ruins from the ancient civilization. I
| wonder if that girl...
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Waaaaaaaaah!
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| That reminds me, there was a girl
| from town a few years ago who
| dissapeared into the forest.
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Right, a young Yuke girl.
| Her name was Norschtalen, wasn't it?
| She was always very timid. It must
| have been awful for her, alone and
| lost deep in that forest...
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| *shiver*
|
| # Oh, she still gets lost there. #
| # Hey, I live in the forest. #
| (The result is the same below)
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Hmmm...?
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| ...
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| ...Bw...bw...bw...
| BWAAAAAAAAAH!
{Female Yuke} :
* Well, I don't know who you are, but
thank you.
You've got that girl so scared I don't
think she'll go within a mile of that
forest.
Although, I don't mind admitting you
manage to scare me a little, too.
{Lilty Mother} :
* N-No! You mustn't take my child from
me!
{Lilty Kid} :
* NOOOOOOOOO!
{Selkie Girl} :
Hello, hello. I haven't seen you
around before. Are you new?
By the looks of you. I'd say you're not
here to train to become a scholar.
Oh, the innocence of youth! I
remember when I first came to town,
chasing my dreams...
And then...
It's funny how life turns out
sometimes.
My advice to you is to try lots of
different things while you're still
young.
This town is chock-a-block full of
adventurers like yourself.
* It can be a lot of fun to go exploring
with people you've never met before.
Even if you don't share a common
language, you can still enjoy the
adventure together.
[ If you talk to the Lilty or Clavat ]
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| * *sigh* I have the WORST luck.
|
| {Female Lilty} :
|
| What's wrong? I thought you were
| really excited about that thing you
| found.
| What was it now? A treasure map you
| bought from the antiques shop,
| right?
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| Yeah, well. I went to look at it, and
| the stupid wind blew it out of my
| hands!
| It flew up into the air and then into
| the forest. Gone forever.
|
| {Female Lilty} :
|
| Well, well. I suppose the lesson here
| is not to open maps in windy places.
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| *sigh* That map showed treasure all
| OVER the place. I really do have the
| worst luck.
|
| {Female Lilty} :
|
| I AM sorry. How much did the map
| cost?
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| Two gil.
|
| {Female Lilty} :
|
| ...
| Er, I think the map was a fake.
{Female Lilty} :
* I suppose everyone needs to have a
dream.

Larkeicus : Well... That old man... there's nobody else here.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ Upon entering the Library the first time - MANDATORY ]
Larkeicus :
Hm?
Are you...?
Can I be of service?
...Hmmm, I see. So a child from your
village has fallen ill, ja?
And vhen the villagers saw the
symptoms, they determined that it
vas the crystal sickness?
it is strange that there are people
around who still know of that
disease.
Crystals are powerful objects that
emit continuous energy vaves.
In small quantities, this is harmless.
But if a person is subject to large
amount of radiation over a sustained
period, their body begins to change.
That change is called the "crystal
sickness."
But it is a very ancient illness.
The crystals are long gone from this
vorld, so vhy vould anyone fall ill
now?
[ The crystal give by Sherlotta shine ]
Hm!?
...
Do I sense... a crystal? Do you have
one?
[ The crystal shown to Larkeicus ]
Ja, ja, it is indeed a crystal. And
one of incredible purity, at that.
...
Does this mean that the crystals are
returning? Surely, that cannot be.
Tell me, child. Vhere did you find
this object? Come, come, you must
tell me!
...
Ah, my apologies. First, you vant to
help the child vith the crystal
sickness, ja?
I know how to make the medicine that
you seek. Hmmm...
perhaps ve can help each other, ja?
There is something I need done as
part of my archeological research.
If you agree to help me, then I vill
make the medicine for you. Vhat do
you say?
Good, then ve have a deal. My name is
Larkeicus. First, to complete my end
of the bargain...
I must have a Buffasaur horn to brew
the medicine.
You vill find me one vhile I am
preparing the other ingredients.
The Buffasaur is a magical beast
that lives near vater.
It is very powerful, but easily
succumbs to magic. Ja, it's scary, but
not TOO scary...
[ He then gives tutorials about using magic - more at [TT03] ]
{Larkeicus} :
* To make medicine for the crystal
sickness, I must have a Buffasaur
horn.
I vill await you here. Come back vhen

| Can you ever forgive someone who is
| so useless?
| If I could turn myself invisible, I
| would, I really would! Maybe I'll go
| and hide in a corner...
| But everyone would still see me. I
| can't even DISAPPEAR properly.
| M-maybe I could go buy everyone a

| I guess...

| Hello, young [X]. Ye had quite the day
| yesterday, didn't ye?
| I haven't seen Norschtalen look so
| happy in a long time.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Well, yesterday WAS quite the day. I
| guess you deserve the morning off.
| ...
| What? You're going into town
| AGAIN?
| Oh, all right. If you want to go that
| badly, I guess I can't stop you.
| But be careful, do you hear? I know
| it all seems new and exciting now,
| but don't overdo it.
| And don't you go hanging around with
| people you don't know.
| Oh, and one more thing. Make sure
| you get back by nightfall, you hear?
| Or you'll have the whole village
| worried about you.
| Hmmm, anything else...? Do you have
| everything you need? Handkerchief in
| case you get a runny nose?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| ...
| Tsk. Once a fussbucket, always a
| fussbucket.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| I'm just making sure he has everything
| he needs!
[ If you talk to Waltrill again ]
| {Waltrill} :
|
| *yawn* Oh, I'm still half-asleep.
| I tell ye, that Norschtalen and her
| sense of direction will be the death
| of me!
| Even for a mage like myself, marching
| through the forest in the middle of
| the night is no piece of cake.
| That girl may be small, but she has
| enough energy for a woman ten times
| her size!
| Hm. I suppose she was just so
| desperate to help Eryll any way she
| could.
| ...Aye.
| Ye know, I think it's about time I
| started teaching that girl real
| magic.
| She wants to learn so much.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
| Hehe. So you DO care!
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Harrumph. I don't know what ye're
| talking about.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Well, it's just that you're sounding a
| bit like -oh, I don't know- a
| fussbucket, maybe?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| N-nonsense!
{Waltrill} :
* I'm a teacher. Of course I have to
keep the welfare of my students in
mind.
...Although, make sure ye don't tell
Norschtalen that, ye hear me, [X]?
{Sherlotta} :
* I guess yesterday you didn't have time
to explore the town properly. Well,
now's your chance.
Have a good time... and DO be careful!

[ First / front part of Town ]
{Male Yuke} :
Oh, hello youngster. Have you been
wandering around since yesterday?
How do you like the town, then? Did
you visit the library?
A famous scholar called Larkeicus
seems to be in charge there.
It's only natural. He's the most
knowledgeable of all the scholars in
this town.
Indeed, in my younger days I begged
him to take me on as his student, but
he turned me down.
He told me that true knowledge lies
in your own heart, and you can't have
it spoon-fed to you by others.
Oh, he took the scales off my eyes,
he did! Of course, I was still very
young.
You know, now that I think about it,
he hasn't changed much since then.
it must have been decades ago, but
even then he seemed very old.
He looks like a Clavat to me, but
they don't usually live such long
lives.
But he still has so much energy! I
wish he'd tell me his secret.
* *sigh* I can't say I enjoy growing
old.
{Male Selkie} :
Hey-ho, kiddo. Did you stop by the
guild yet?
The guild district's over that way.
You should check it out if you have a
chance.
You can pick up fellow adventurers
and sign up for quests.
Some quests can pay serious cash if
you succedd. It's a great way to earn
extra gil.
They add new quests all the time, so
be sure to drop by whenever you have
some free time.
But, to be honest, most quests aren't
somethin' you want to do your own.
* I ain't telling you how to live your
life or anythin'...
but don't come cryin' to me if you
ignore good advice and it all goes
pear-shaped.
{Dog} :
* WOOF!
{Cat} :
* Meow.
[ Second / main part (plaza) of Town ]
{Clavat Lady} :
Oh, hello. We met yesterday, didn't
we? Did you talk to the gentleman in
the library?
Oh, I see. He made you medicine, and
now you're helping him in return?
That's very admirable.
Obviously, you are a young man who
knows how to keep a promise!
Speaking of which, someone went
down to the aqueducts yesterday and
cleaned them all out.
When I see young people like you, I
have hope for the future of this
town.
* You're a fine young man. Keep up the
good work!
[ If you talk to the Male Lilty or Clavat Man near the fountain ]
| {Male Lilty} :

| *sigh* I bet it's stinky today, too...
| Or maybe not!
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| I guess someone cleaned up the
| aqueducts for us.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Wow, we owe them a really big
| thanks. Can you imagine actually
| going IN there? EEE-YUCK!
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| That's just because you can't swim.
| Normally, that water is very clean.
| It's not like it's sewage or anything.
| I heard that woth all the complaints,
| the guild sent people down there this
| morning.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| But the smell is already gone.
| Someone beat them to it...
| without being asked and for no
| reward. Talk about a good samaritan!
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| * In any case, all those guild folk who
| went down there this morning are
| just wasting their time.
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| * I'd still love to know what caused it

| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| I'd rather be out adventurin', but
| these days the only way to make

|
| {Female Yuke} :

You promised to do a little job for

Vell, as I told you yesterday, I am an

I am studying the ancient ruins that

The legacy of the great civilization

This is a fine opportunity for you to
experience some of the ancient glory
for yourself.

No problem for you!
[ The scene shows the Ice and Fire Mountain, along with the ruins atop ]
This town lies between two mountains,
like a pearl in a crab's pincers.
on the top of each of these
mountains lay ancient ruins.
At some point over the centuries...
certain parts have fallen away
from the main structures.
I want you to restore those missing pieces.
[ Scene back to the Library ]
Of course, if I vas younger, I vould go
and do it myself. But now, it is not possible.
The mountains are no place
for an old man like me.
[ End scene ]
There are two mountains, but you
should go to Ice Mountain first.
Climb Ice Mountain and return the
piece of the ruins to its proper place
on the summit.
According to my research, the ancient
device there should still be
functional.
I'm quite sure some very interesting
phenomena vill occur.
Observe closely and report
everything that you see back to me.

I didn't mean to keep you in the dark,
but I anticipated just such a

Now I know that my theories are
correct. All those years of research

{Sherlotta} - [MANDATORY] :
[ If you talk to her NOT by your main character ]
Hm? Are you with [X]...?
[X] still isn't back yet?
Tsk, that boy is late for everything.
I guess all he's known is this forest.
Of course he wants to explore the
world a bit.
But hey, this is [X] we're talking
about. He'll be home for dinner, we
can count on that!
If you do see [X], tell him to come
home right away.
[ Sherlotta enters the house ]
[ If you talk to her by your main character ]
Well, well. Hello again, [X]. I was
beginning to think you weren't coming
back at all!
It's okay, I'm not mad.
When all you've known is this forest,
the world must seem really big and
exciting.
Of COURSE you want to spend time
exploring it.
And you're a big boy now. You can do
what you want.
But you must be tired. Why don't you
come in and relax. You can tell me all
about the town.
Illina made some dinner. I'll heat it up
for you.
[ Sherlotta and you enter the house, but the view still pan outside ]
But you look as if you ran a
marathon. What exactly did you get
up to out there?
And your clothes-they're covered in

you've had a bath!

Huh?
[ She suddenly loose her smile and watch outside ]
*gasp*
[ The scene shifts to the Mountains, where Larkeicus is shown holding a device
and the ruins atop the Mountains is kind of being activated. A moment later,
the ruins at both Mountains fire huge beams of energy that collide at some
range between Ice and Fire Mountain. A pillar of light emerges as the effect
of the collision. The big crystal at the middle of the pond in the forest is
suddenly cracked. Scene back to the house... ]
Sherlotta :
Ungh!
[ She looks in pain... ]
[ Then the scene shifts to the Gate, Larkeicus and strange hordes of monster
appear from behind the Gate... The pillar of light now reveals a huge tower
and sends blast of energy to all directions. Back at the house... ]

{Norschtalen} :
Aaaaaaaaaaaargh! [X]? You're all
right!
B-b-but, something AWFUL has
happened! I woke up this morning, and
everyone was gone. Everyone!
Teacher, and Eryll, and Lian, and
Ilina, and Aurdy, and Phelple...
and Toumli, and Bachenn, and Ullz,
and Tratt! All of them, GONE!
...
Er, did I forget anyone?
# Sure, that's everyone! #
Oh, phew, that's a relief.
...
Oh, wait. What about Sherlotta? [X],
how could you forget HER!?
# Er, what about Sherlotta? #
Ah, stupid, stupid, STUPID me! How
could I forget Sherlotta!? She's
gone, too.
A-a-anyway, there's no one left but
you and me.
What should we do? What should we
DO!?
Did they all just vaporize?
Were they kidnapped?
Did aliens take them away?
Even the cow is gone!
Now that I think about it, last night
I remember seeing a strange light in
the sky.
Then right afterwards, there was a
really loud noise.
Oooh, they've been kidnapped and
someone-or some THING-is doing
horrible things to them!
Waaaaaaaaargh!
## It's okay, calm down. Breathe. ##
R-right. Get a grip.
Breathing... breathing.
...
Okay, I'm better now. Sorry about
that.
Anyway, we have to go search for
them. I'll look around the village for
clues.
You know how easily I get lost in the
forest. You search there, okay?
## Let's search the woods. ##
Th-the forest? Of COURSE! Okay,
I'm on it. I'll go straight to the
forest and... er, get lost.
...
Hm. Maybe I shouldn't.
I know. I'll check the village for
clues, and YOU go search in the
forest, okay? That's a plan, right?
* Eryll! Teacher! Answer me if you can
hear me! Where are you!?

{Eryll} (At the pond) :
Oh, hi [X]...
Right. You WOULD be okay, wouldn't
you?
Norsy is all right, too? Oh, that's
good.
Yeah, I'm fine. But everyone from the
village, they...
Well, the villagers dissapeared,
didn't they?
Look...
[ The view shifts to the center of the pond, shows floating crystal shards ]
I don't know what happened exactly,
but last night the crystal just
shattered.
I looked all around here, but I can't
find any of the Crystal Core
fragments.
They must have been blown far, far
away from here.
...
[ The view shifts back to the main character ]
Please, [X]. Won't you look for the
Crystal Core fragments?
Then we could put the crystal back
together and everyone in the village
would be okay again.
You see, that crystal...
...
Well, let's just say you'll find out
soon enough.
You're going to have to learn the
truth about the crystal all by
yourself.
I'll be waiting here for you, no
matter how long it takes!
* Please, [X]. Won't you look for the
Crystal Core fragments?
As soon as you find one, come right
back here. I'll be waiting, no matter
how long it takes!
{Norschtalen} (After talking to Eryll at the pond) :
Huh? Eryll was in the forest? So
she's okay? Oh, what a RELIEF!
It did? The crystal in the forest?
Gosh.
Have you ever heard the stories about
the ancient crystals? I read about
them in a book once.
In the old times the world was full
of crystals. They were the source of
power for all the ancient technology.
But then one day, they suddenly
started to disappear.
According to the legends, only one
crystal survived. They called it the
Crystal Core.
...Huh?
No WAAAY!
You think that could be it!? The
famous Crystal Core is right HERE, in
OUR forest!?
Wow. The Crystal Core. Can you
believe it?
To think I've been living next door to
the most famous piece of rock in
history!
But, now it's all smashed up. Too
bad. I'd have loved to have seen it.
Hm? You're going to look for the
fragments of the Crystal Core?
But they could be ANYWHERE. It'll be
like trying to find a hairpin in a
haystack.
Hm, well, yeah. I suppose you're
right.
Back in the old days, pretty much
everyone used crystals...
so they must have had some way of
tracking them down.
Gotta think. Nnn...nnn...NNNNNN...
Nope. No good. Can't think of
anything.
But I bet someone who studies the
ancient civilizations would know.
Like an archeologist or someone.
* *sigh* I'm SO glad Eryll is safe.
I'm going to keep looking for everyone
else here in the village.

{Guard 1} :
* What do you think this is, then? It
looks like something's supposed to go
in that slot.
| {Guard 2} :
|
| You came back to check thing out, too?
| People 'round here sure seem to have
| a lot of time on their hands.
| These ruins look like they were a
| gate of some kind, but they just lead
| to the edge of the cliff.
| Maybe there used to be a bridge here
| at one time. Although it's long gone
| now.
| There're lots of ruins like this
| around here.
| There must be a reason why the
| tower appeared where it did. I reckon
| the answer lies in those ruins.
| Man, this thing is bringing all the
| weirdos out of the woodwork. I wish
| they'd just go home.
|

{Male Selkie} :
My, my. This place was always very
impressive, but that tower just
makes it even more amazing.
You came to see, too?
Look around. Everyone is interested
in the ruins, but don't you notice
something about the land itself?
I always thought the geography here
was a little odd, but I could never
put my finger on exactly why.
You see this valley we're standing
next to? It's kind of hard to see
because it's so vast...
but doesn't it look like someone just
scooped out a huge piece of the
earth, like ice cream from a tub?
It makes you think, doesn't it? What
in this world could have created
something so enormous?
Not that I waste any time worrying
about it. Let the scholars puzzle it
out!
All I know is that the ancient
civilization must have been an
amazing thing to see.
* That tower is impressive. But if you
ask me, the valley is the REAL feat
of engineering!
{Selkie Girl} :
* I guess everyone is thinking the same
thing.
They figure a bridge will appear and
then we'll be able to reach the
tower. I wouldn't count on it.
{Clavat Man 1} :
Wow, when you see it from here, it
really is an amazing sight.
I always thought this gate didn't
make a whole lot of sense...
standing here at the edge of a huge
rift in the ground. But obviously, it
leads to that tower.
* I'll bet you a thousand gil that
there's some kind of bridge that
connects the gate to the tower.
{Clavat Man 2} :
* That tower appeared overnight.
There has to be some way of getting
across to it, right?
I'm going to be the first to the
treasure!

Wh-what IS that thing!?
I must be dreaming! There's no way a
massive tower like that can spring up
overnight-is there?
Hmmm. You know, that tower reminds
me of something.
The design and style are like
something the ancients would have
built.
But they couldn't have, could they?
Maybe someone should ask that
archeologist, Larkeicus. He might
know what it is.
* Yep. Larkeicus the archeologist
would be the man to ask about that
tower.

Hey, aren't you going to the gate?
Everyone else went there to check
out the tower. It's like a ghost town

Usually this place is hopping. It
feels really strange with no one
around.
* *shrug* Everyone'll be bored of the
tower soon enough. People around
here have short attention spans.

|
| Aaaaaah, I want to go, too!

| Once upon a time, a long time ago,
| there lived a young girl.
| One day, all the other junior scouts

| But the young girl stayed at home

| Her friends all fell into a trap in

| was killed!
| Now, wasn't she happy that she didn't
| go with them?
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| ...
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Just because everyone else is doing
| something, it doesn't make it a good
| idea.
| Following the herd can get you killed.
| I often tell that story in my risk

| the end always leaves an impression.
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Are you sure about that? It's not
| much of a story, and as for the
| "twist"...
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Oh. All right then. How about this
| story? One day, everyone decided to
| have a barbeque...
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| ... and they all died of food

|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| ...
| If you ever become lost in the

|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| ...climb upwards?
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Okay. Imagine there's a huge world
| war going on and everyone decides to
| dig up this massive bomb...
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| What kind of parable is that? Of
| COURSE you wouldn't join a
| bomb-digging party!
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Look, would it kill you to meet me
| halfway here?
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| All right, forget the metaphors. If
| you ever come across a new place or
| new situations, tread carefully!
| You never know what unseen dangers
| might be lurking around the next
| corner.
| For example, there could be a deadly
| virus in the air. Everyone who
| breathes it dies instantly!
| Imagine what would happen if
| something like that got out!
| There wouldn't be any cure. The
| Authorities would be force to
| quarantine the infected victims.
| In extreme cases, we'd have to burn
| down whole sections of the city to
| stop the spread of the epidemic!
| Remember, some dangers are invisible

| What's the matter?

Oh, I don't mean the tower. Altough
it sure is hard to miss...
I'm talking about the monsters in the

Someone broke the seal on one of the
inner doors and monsters are pouring
out.
No one has been in there for so long,
it's become a nest for all kinds of
weird creatures.
And now they're all over the
library-they've even reached the
main lobby!
It's not safe in there anymore, so
stay well away, you hear?
...Wait a second!
What about that old man who's always
hanging out in there!?
Oh, no! He'll get eaten for sure. I
have to contact the guild or

* So you know how dangerous the

you want to go in more than ever?
Oh, well. I'm not going to try to stop
you. Just make sure you've got

Everyone went to check out the
tower, so the town is practically
deserted.
Oh, boy. What a day, huh? Hahaha...
But I wonder. Who was it that opened
the door in the library?
It was shut tight with some really
serious locks. No one was supposed to
be able to open it. No one!
But you know, I bet that old man had
a key. What's his name... Larkeicus?
He's a famous scholar so everyone
toadies up to him, but I've never
trusted the guy.
He's always got that big, fake smile
on his face, but if you look at his
eyes they're as cold as Ice Mountain.
Speaking of which, weren't you
helping him with something
yesterday?
He didn't get you to do anything
suspicious, did he?
He might just be using you. I'd be

But one day, the crystals
dissapeared from the vorld.
Vithout its supporting energy,
the civilization collapsed.
Collapsed into dust.
But now, you are holding one of

No, never mind.
Vhat matters, are the results.
You possess the very cause of

But it is ironic.
Vithout the power of the crystals...
I could never have

Vhat's wrong? Never seen anyone
rise from the dead before?
I had learn how to defeat death.
Although, in a vorld vithout crystals,

* Let's BOTH be realists, okay?
{Male Lilty} :
Apparently, the guild has asked the
state to investigate the recent
events.
They've really cast the net wide and
picked up a LOT of information.
Unfortunately, most of the info is
from the folks here in town, so it's
all pretty useless.
I guess the news about pillars on
top of Fire Mountain and Ice
Mountain is kind of interesting...
but stories about a new sign that's
been posted halfway up Ice
Montain?
Who needs to know that?
I mean, it doesn't take a genius to
figure out it's just some quest
announcement.
Still, things have been appearing but
of nowhere lately. That tower, the
pillars on the mountains...
All of them seem to be connected to
the ancient civilization. Maybe it's
some kind of omen.
I'm betting that something is going to
happen at the ruins in the desert,
too.
Oh, you want to know where those
ruins are? Let's see...
...
Nah, I'm not going to tell you.
Ever since you appeared, strange
things have been happening. I don't
want to get involved.
Sorry, but I won't tell you where the
ruins are.
* I'm not telling you where the ruins
are.
Ah, but I DID tell you about that new
sign on Ice Mountain, right?

|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| So, no new discoveries at all?
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| That tower is really big and

|
| {Male Selkie} :
|

|

|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| That's why you went to the gate,
| right?
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Well yes, but when you think about
| it, that gate's been studied umpteen
| times.
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| We thought the tower might have
| changed things, but no luck.
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| Couldn't you climb down the cliff and
| walk to the tower across the bottom
| of the valley?
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| No rope would reach the bottom, and
| a mountain goat wouldn't try that
| descent without one.
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| We would need supplies and porters
| and equipment, too. That terrain is
| pretty inhospitable.
| Besides, no one's been down there
| before. It might be crawling with
| monsters.
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Plus, even if we made it across that
| expense, we still might not be able
| to get inside.
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| I suppose we'll have to ask the state
| to send an expedition.
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Well, I heard the guild already
| submitted a request for help.
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Oh, boy. I wouldn't hold my breath
| waiting for a response. You know
| what those bureaucrats are like!

What!? No WAY! That old man
Larkeicus?
Crystals make him immortal? And
there's some catastrophe coming in
the future? Good grief!

Gosh, [X]. I really have no idea what
you're talking about.
But you know, I always suspected
that Larkeicus man was up to no
good.
At times like this I really wish
Teacher was here. He'd know exactly
what to do.
Yeah...
The Crystal Core shattered, that
tower appeared out of nowhere...
and in ancient times, a civilization
collapsed when the crystals
disappeared.
But doesn't it just creep you out,
that Larkeicus man being immortal?
*shudder* The undead are weird.
I don't know about you, but I'd love to
know when Larkeicus became
immortal... and how.
And he can see into the future,
right? I mean he knows about this
catastrophe that's coming.
So many mysteries! Just thinking
about them makes my head spin.
* You know, everything seems connected
to the ancient civilization that once
dominated these lands.
You should try visiting the ruins in

Please forgive me... for what just

And then he...
But you know the story, don't you?
You are from that village, aren't
you?
The village in the forest where the
Crystal Core appeared.
{Veriaulde} :
I've long since broken all contact
with the outside world. News of the
surface does not reach me here.
But surely other crystals have not
been discovered? Is the world still
without crystals?
Yes, of course. Even after all this
time.
Perhaps they were just a common
mineral after all?
But no, that cannot be...
In the primeval age, how did the
original crystals spread through the
world?
Could it be that the Crystal Core
was the ancestor of all crystals?
...Ah, forgive me. I've been alone so
many, many years. My thoughts have
been my only company.
So tell me, what brings you to this
dark and lonely place?
Perhaps you came to find me? To ask
me for information?
# Tell me about the ancients. #
A long, long time ago, a great scholar
came to this ancient land.
He studied crystals and developed
a technique to run machines on the
power of the crystals.
The device he built based on this
revolutionary new science soon
spread around the world.
People were able to enjoy lives of
wealth and ease beyond their
imagination.
The scholar came to be worshipped
like a god.
People were drawn to the new city
built on this spot. Trade, culture,
and the arts all flourished.
Until, one day...
something happened that made the
crystals disappear, one by one.
Without them, the devices that the
scholar had invented were useless.
Somewhere along the way, society had
become utterly dependent on the
crystals.
People panicked. How would they
survive? Anger and despair spread
like wildfire.
Wars were fought over the dwindling
supply of crystals.
In their anger, the populace turned
against the scholar who had first
given them the technology.
Although he had determined the cause
of the crystal's disappearance...
he was powerless to stop the
extinction. Soon enough, every last
crystal was gone.
In the blink of an eye, the scholar
lost everything he had built.
His name was Larkeicus.
That genius, who had single-handedly
built an entire civilization, was also
my master.
You see, I have been alive for
centuries. I am immortal.
Is there anything else you would like
to know?
## Tell me about the ancients. ##
[ Same as before ]
## Tell me about immortality. ##
The cause of the crystals'
disappearance lay in our future.
A cataclysmic event had sent
shockwaves back into our own time.
When my master discovered this,
something inside him seemed to snap.
This was his research laboratory. He
shut himself in here night and day,
barely eating, barely sleeping.
He was a man possessed.
And then one day... IT appeared.
Even as the other crystals were
winking out of existence, a giant
crystal appeared in the forest.
We went immediately to
investigate...
We... went...
Just to investigate... the crystal...
... *sob*
But never mind, never mind. It's in
the past now.
When we returned from the village,
my master called me into his
laboratory.
He had...
he had a young girl with him... and...
I'm sorry. But as soon as I entered
the room, I fainted. I have no
recollection of what happened next.
Except that when I woke up, I found
myself in this body.
I think that my master had somehow
found the key to his research.
Hm, soon the time for talking will be
over. But until then...
### Tell me about the ancients. ###
[ Same as before ]
### Tell me about immortality. ###
[ Same as before ]
### Tell me about the Crystal Core. ###
That crystal was special.
Yes, it was a crystal, but unlike all
other crystals, it could not be used
to power my master's devices.
It was like an anti-crystal, denying
everything he had built.
It was worse than useless. It was as
if it existed just to negate my
master's work.
But somehow it survived even after
all the others disappeared. The last
crystal in the world.
Eventually it became known as the
Crystal Core.
But, there's one thing I don't
understand...
That crystal you carry has the same
properties as the Crystal Core
itself.
But where on this planet did you find
it?
I think perhaps you've heard enough,
but...
#### I want my prezzie!!! ####
You know, I still don't understand
why you came here.
...No! The Crystal Core shattered!?
I see, I see. And then the people of
your village suddenly disappeared...?
Most mysterious. It reminds me of
that old ghost story-
A village? A village in a forest?
B-but could you be...? When we...?
No, no, it's not possible. That
was... centuries ago...
Ah, do forgive me. It's just that I
have certain... memories of that
forest.
...Hm.
Long ago the crystals disappeared and
the great civilization collapsed.
But the one crystal that denied all
our theories survived, and exists
even today.
What does that mean? Now you
seek...?
[ Shifts to a scene ]
A fragment of the Cystal Core.
A fine thing indeed...
[ He open a book, and a strange device appears before him ]
Take it. It is yours.
( You obtained a prezzie! )
It is a most useful tool that
transformed crystals into the energy
that once powered our civiliztion.
More importantly to you, it can also
locate crystals.
At one time, we used it to find new
supplies of crystals, back when they
were abundant in the world.
But after their disappearance, it
became little more than a useless
curiosity.
The only thing it can find now is the
Crystal Core.
But that's exactly what you need,
isn't it?
In olden days, large machines
required the power of large
quantities of crystals.
Theoretically, it would be possible
to reconstruct such a device, but in
this era...?
I know that helping you won't absolve
me of my sins, but I must do what I
can.
Now, let me show you out. I pray for
your success.
### Look, give me a present already! ###
[ Same as before ( You obtained a prezzie! ) ]
## Enough talk. Give me a present. ##
[ Same as before ( You obtained a prezzie! ) ]
# Do you have a present for me? #

You've been so brave. Well done!
[ The flashback ends... back to the forest pond ]
Eryll :
Ah...
Did you see that, [X]? Just now?
That was you, you know.
Yep. When you were little, you
caught the crystal sickness.
Hehe, just like me!
When I got sick, you went to town to
find medicine...
but when YOU were sick, Sherlotta
was the one who went.
But why did Sherlotta come back so
exhausted and beaten up?
...
Are you serious? You have to do all
that just to make some simple

Well, they didn't exactly "come back."
It's more like they

Now that I think about it, it was

| So, like, we had to go out for a bit.
| Sorry we left without saying goodbye

| It's not like we didn't want you to

| {Ilina} :
|
| Oh, quit fibbing, Lian. You always

| [X] will understand. He's old enough

| Hey, [X]. It's so nice to be able to

| And it's all thanks to you.

|
| {Ilina} :
|

{Lian} :
Where's Eryll? Oh, right. She's over
at the pond with the Crystal Core.
Since I can remember, she's always
loved going there with Sherlotta.
I guess that's why...
...
Look, [X]...
I know it's kind of late, but I never
thanked you properly for helping
Eryll when she got sick.
We've lived together for so long, I
always thought there was something
special about her...
and then when she came down with the
crystal sickness...
Well, I knew it for sure.
Eryll has a mysterious role to play.
Not like Sherlotta, and not like us
villagers.
[X], it's up to you to find the
answers. But do me one favor, okay?
Look after Eryll for me.
* [X], please. Look after Eryll for me,
okay?
{Ilina} :
Did Eryll tell you?
Every time you return a Crystal Core
fragments, this village changes.
Well, not CHANGE, exactly. Sure, it's
not like the old village, but everyone
is still here.
Of course, it's up to you to find out
what it all means.

we'll talk again, okay?

...
Ah-ha! Maybe... yeah, maybe THAT'S

Well, well. I didn't realize that
they'd grown that close. Did you?
Oh, gosh. I'm so glad I found out
NOW. I mean, I wouldn't want to be a
third wheel or anything.
You don't get in their way either, [X],
okay?

| Is it just a coincidence?
| *sigh* Teacher is still missing,

| Where on earth did he go? How could

| I bet he snuck out for a holiday. He's

| Yes, look at you. You look like a

| strong!
| Oh, but where are our manners? We
| haven't even said a proper "hello."
| Hm? The cow?
| Well, she looked lost so we thought
| we'd just take her back to the river.
| Hmmm. But before we do that, I

|
| {Tratt} :
|
| Ooo-oooh, good idea!

| Stronger than a hundred men, fists

|
| Where did you come up with those

| afraid of me?
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| The fame of her martial exploits
| spread, and she became a commander
| in the King's Army.
| But she was so powerful, the

|
| Oh, puh-lease. I have NEVER been the

|
| Now I sound like the Grim Reaper!
| Enough, please! You're going to make
| [X] think I'm a complete monster.
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| You mean all those stories aren't

| ...
| Er, why, yes. That's exactly what I
| mean. Complete fiction!
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| What was that little pause there?
{Tratt} :
* ...Hm?
{Toumli} :
Tonight I'm going to make a big pot
of cream stew.
[X], I bet you haven't been eating
properly while we were away.
A big boy like you needs to eat three
square meals a day. You come over
this evening, you hear?
I'm going to make the best stew you've
ever had!
Which means I absolutely MUST have

Ye'll have to forgive us. It must have

She always adored ye, [X], just like
Sherlotta did.
And now we have ye to thank for the
return of the Crystal Core...
and being able to gather again here in

As for why, ye'll find out yerself
soon enough.
I don't pretend to know everything,

Ye have to find the answers on yer
own, [X].

...Aye, but its shards are scattered

Here, take this.

Ye can study magic just about any

Core.
Aye, it's funny how the little

But you're here now, [X]. You're

|
| Oh, hello... blabbermouth!
| While you were out in the woods two

| I've gotten used to villagers just

|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Ye don't give up grudges easy now, do
| ye, girl?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Well, what do you expect? [X] totally
| couldn't keep my secret!
| That's just completely mean. I HATE
| blabbermouths, and I hate [X]!
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Ye've got it wrong, Norschtalen. [X]
| didn't tell me a thing.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Eh...?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| I heard ye myself. I was standing
| right behind ye.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| But, when I was... I mean, no one was
| there.
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Are ye sure? We ALL heard ye.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| ...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| In fact, [X] actually joined in a

|
| {Norschtalen} :

|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| It started off as a poem, right, not a

| Now, what were the lines? Right,

I'm sorry I doubted you!
Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease! No

| {Aurdy} :
|

| My clothes are still wet.
|
| {Bachenn} :

| The river was fun, but I'm glad we're

[ Below is a MANDATORY conversation, you'll get info where to go next ]
| {Ullz} :
|
| Hey, [X]! How's it goin'?
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Argh, [X]!
| Why did it take you so long to bring
| us back, huh? Don't you like us?
| ...Huh? What's wrong? You look kind
| of down.
| Oooh.
| I guess you've been having a real
| tough adventure.
| Well, what can I say? Sucks to be
| you, I guess.
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| Hey, don't feel blue, [X]. You're alive,
| and that's all that matters!
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Y-yeah, sure. That's what I meant to
| say. As long as you're alive, it can't
| be all bad, right?
| You see, [X], you never know when
| life is going to sneak up and bite you
| on the tush...
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| ...Hmmm...
| [X], you collected the Crystal Core
| fragments, right? How did you find
| them?
| ...
| No way! You had a special tool? Let
| me see, let me see!
|
| [ The crystal finder is shown ]
|
| Whoa!
| ... That is SO...
| COOL!
| What the heck is it? It's like shinin'
| or something. Is that because there's
| something nearby?
| Ah-ha, I know.
| Let me tell you something neat, [X].
|
| (You've learned about the
| other passage in the ruins.)
|
| Me and Phelple used to play
| hide-and-seek all over the place, way
| back when. That's how we found it.
| But one of the grown-ups caught
| Phelple trying to go in and he got
| into SO much trouble! Hehe.
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Yep. And now you know about it, too!
{Phelple} :
* Come on, [X], cheer up. We're here,
aren't we?
Not that that's a reason to cheer up
or anything.
{Ullz} :
* The desert ruins are full of funky
old machines and stuff. They're
really neat.

[ After the battle and move on to the next area, a scene begin where it seems to
be in the village, but in a whole different environment... The houses are
burnt, and fields are scorched... Sherlotta is seen alone there... ]
Sherlotta :
One day, a long time ago...
something happened that made the crystals
start disappearing from the world.
[ View now showing the Tower ]
One by one they vanished.
People began fighting each other
to control the few that remained.
Our village was one of many that
were destroyed in the war.
[ View back to Sherlotta ]
This is where we used to live...
all those many years ago.
Maybe it looks a little familiar?
[ View showing around the burnt village ]
It's all in ruins now, but at one time...
it was just like the other village,
the one we built especially for you.
[ View back to Sherlotta ]
I remember...
the day the world turned upside down.
[ Flashback scene now, Sherlotta (in her original form, normal girl, tailess)
and Eryll holding a black cat is seen walking in the forest ]
The crystals were disappearing one by one...
Chaos and fear reigned.
But then, in the middle of everything, that
crystal appeared here in our forest.
[ There's a bright flash, and a giant crystal suddenly appeared in front of
Sherlotta and Eryll ]
When the end came, it came quickly.
We had no chance.
[ Still in flashback, in the village, Larkeicus along with Veriaulde and
hordes of monsters is entering the village ]
It was him...
leading his army of weird creatures.
As soon as they found our
village, they attacked.
They could have just asked for it.
We would have given it up without a fight.
[ Larkeicus is signaling his army to attack, while Veriaulde is seen somewhat
having a quarel with him ]
We fought back as well as we could...
but we were no soldiers.
What did we know about war?
They razed our village to the ground...
[ View shifts to Aurdy, Ilina, and Lian who were surrounded ]
Ilina :
Grandad...
Lian :
Ilina!
Aaargh!
[ The monsters overwhelms them... next, view shifts to Bachenn who bravely,
and successfully, hitting the monsters one by one... Toumli joins the
fight too ]
Toumli :
Urrrgh!
[ Unfortunately, the enemies are just too many, and they too overwhelmed...
Now scene showing Veriaulde debating with Larkeicus ]
Veriaulde :
But Larkeicus, you promised!
You said it wouldn't come to this...
[ Larkeicus just reply by holding Veriaulde's head with his hand, and vapour
arise from Veriaulde's body... next, he falls down ]
[ Scene shifts to Sherlotta and Eryll, who surrounded by Larkeicus' monsters ]
Sherlotta :
N-no!
[ The monsters attack, but suddenly a shockwave hits them back... ]
Sherlotta :
Ah!?
[ Scene shifts to Waltrill, who apparently sent the shockwave to protect Eryll
and Sherlotta, along with Ullz, Tratt, and Phelple, also surrounded, and
they too, like the others, overwhelmed... ]
Waltrill :
Waaargh!
[ Scene back to Sherlotta and Eryll, Larkeicus is approaching them from behind ]
Sherlotta :
No!
[ Sherlotta notice Larkeicus' present, while holding Eryll tighter ]
Sherlotta :
*gasp*
[ Larkeicus is stretching his hand, attempting to capture Sherlotta... ]
[ Meanwhile, the other villagers is seen all dead, and Sherlotta running away,
alone in the forest ]
But the crystal they wanted so badly that they
would destroy a village in order to claim it...
[ Larkeicus is chasing Sherlotta ]
Well, it was different than the others.
[ Sherlotta trips down, while Larkeicus approaching, like in the opening scene ]
It was a Cystal Core...
and it was the last remaining
crystal in the world.
[ Larkeicus finally gets her ]
Yes, it was a crystal...
[ Vapour arise from Larkeicus' body ]
but it had the power to deny
everything he tried to create.
[ Larkeicus is looking at the Crystal Core ]
And not just deny it, but destroy it.
As far as he was concerned...
it was worse than useless.
[ He releases Sherlotta, then laughing out loud... ]
In the end...
he abandoned the Crystal Core
and left the forest...
leaving nothing but a
lifeless village behind him.
Except...
[ Scene back to present time, and present Sherlotta ]
that it wasn't lifeless.
The villagers are still here, even now.
[ The villagers is appearing one by one... from thin air... ]
You can see them, can't you?
You see, when that Crystal Core
appeared, I was transformed...
I became immortal. But that's not all.
[ She summons a crystal shard ]
I was given the power to create crystals.
[ End of scene... ]
<><><> Ruined Village (1) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [RV01]
[ After meeting Sherlotta in the deepest part of the forest and get some
revelations on the truth about the village ]
{Eryll} :
Welcome back, [X]. I never dreamed
this would happen!
When that Crystal Core got sucked
into you, I didn't know WHAT was
happening!
But because of that, you can see me
and everyone again.
[X], the power of the Core is inside
you now.
Me and the other villagers, we all
died way back then.
But I'm just happy that I can talk to
you like before.
We're your family, [X]. Not just me,
but everyone in the village.
You know, I think from the very
beginning that Crystal Core was
meant for you.
Do you understand what it is?
When the Crystal Core started coming
back together again...
what exactly did you see? My guess
is that the answer lie there.
Even though all the other crystals in
the world disappeared, that one kept
sparkling.
It stood there in the forest for
centuries and centuries, never
changing, never growing dull.
That's how powerful the Crystal Core
is-the world's last remaining
crystal!
I knew it even back then, when the
Crystal Core first appeared.
Everyone did. That's why we stayed
in this forest for all those
centuries.
We did it for Sherlotta. She was so
lonely.
You can imagine how happy we were
when you came along.
* The first time I saw you, you were
so cute!
{Aurdy} :
Ah, it's an old, old story now. I
hardly believe it myself anymore.
Back then, the whole world was as
green and alive as this forest.
The trees stretched as far as the
eye could see!
And everywhere you went you would
find crystals glittering like stars.
Oh, it was so beautiful.
It was like we lived in a treasure
chest. Until, that is, they invented
those machines.
The scientist called Larkeicus
developed technology to harness the
power of the crystals.
The technology spread like wildfire,
and he became famous around the
world.
The technology made everyone rich.
Villages grew into towns, towns grew
into magnificent cities.
But the crystals that supported our
civilization were consumed one by
one.
We cut down the forest and dug into
the earth, searching for the crystals
we'd grown addicted to.
As our lives became easier, our land
became more barren. The devastation
spread.
Even without the catastrophe, the
crystals would have run out
eventually.
The civilization was bound to
collapse sooner or later.
But the devastation was forever. The
land still hasn't recovered.
You've seen it. Rocky wastelands and
desert everywhere, filled with the
ruins of ancient civilization.
Except, of course, for this forest.
Here, and only here, did nature
recover.
But why?
I think it's because of the crystal
that was here, the last remaining
crystal in the world.
You see, I always thought that the
forest protected the crystal all
these centuries...
but now I realize that it was the
other way round.
* The crystal truly is a wonderful
thing.
{Waltrill} :
Ah, [X]. Ye've come a long way, my
lad.
But ye know, when that Crystal Core
appeared...
and when we met ye for the first
time, I suspected it would come to
this in the end.
Ye must realize the truth now, eh?
We villagers come from that distant
time when the crystals disappeared...
and the ancient civilization
collapsed.
The appearance of the Crystal Core,
and the tragedy that befell us...
all happened two thousand years ago.
We've been here, like this, ever
since.
But the centuries are finally coming
to an end.
[X], the Crystal Core chose ye. It has
entrusted ye with a great task.
Look at this ruined village. Two
thousand years have passed, but it
hasn't changed a bit since that day.
It's the same for us. No longer
living, but still existing, somehow,
in this forest.
We're like a page torn from the
history books, left floating in limbo.
But now the Crystal Core has gone.
The forest will swallow the village
at last.
We were living on time borrowed from
the Crystal Core, but its power is
gone now.
It's all right. There's no "forever" in
the natural world...
except for those two, of course.
Sherlotta and Larkeicus are both
immortal. That isn't natural.
But there's a difference between
them.
Larkeicus wanted immortality because
he was blinded by the glories of the
ancient age.
Sherlotta became immortal through no
fault of her own. Immortality was
thrust upon her.
Ye see, [X]...
I believe there's a reason the Crystal
Core made Sherlotta the way she is.
When ye find that reason, I do
believe ye'll know the answers to
everything.
Ach, I've lived a long time, and I'm
ready to move on now. But...
[X], I need to ask ye to look after
Norschtalen for me.
Tell her that I'll always be by her
side, watching over her...
Ah, maybe ye'd better not. She'd think
I was haunting her or something.
I tell ye what.
Ye tell her to be strong, to take
everything that life has to offer,
and never to fear the future.
* *sigh* Poor Norschtalen must be in
quite the panic right about now...
| {Ilina} :
|
| Hello, [X]. You've had quite the
| adventure, haven't you?
|
| {Lian} :
|
| [ If you talk to Lian first, conversation start from here ]
|
| Hey, [X]. You've had quite the
| adventure, huh?
|
| [ If you talk to Ilina first, Lian's script starts here ]
|
| I heard that the Crystal Core got
| sucked up right into you! Do you feel
| okay? Does it hurt?
|
| # I feel stronger than ever! #
| # Meh. It feels about the same. #
|
| {Lian} :
|
| Really? Well, you be careful. That's
| some serious power you've got inside
| you now.
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| [X] is going to be fine! That Crystal
| Core exists especially for him.
| It's made to protect him. It'll never
| hurt [X], ever. It's a perfect match!
|
| {Lian} :
|
| Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just that...
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| Lian, it's bad enough you're always
| fussing about Eryll, without you
| babying [X] as well!
|
| {Lian} :
|
| I-I'm not babying anyone. Sheesh.
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| Hehe. You haven't changed a bit since
| you were alive.
{Ilina} :
Listen, [X], we may not be alive
anymore, but you are.
One day, you'll cross over into our
world.
But it's a one-way trip. Once you're
over here, there's no going back.
You know when you wake up in the
morning to the smell of the forest...
and the world seems clean and
new?
You know how good a hot meal tastes
when you're really, really hungry on a
cold winter's day?
You know how nice it feels to run
with the wind, your heart pounding,
the breeze in your hair?
You know how it feels to have your
hair washed, to be hugged, to be
loved...?
You can feel all those things because
you're alive. It's a gift like no other.
[X], you have to live now, while you
still can.
You have to live life to its fullest,
and get the very most out of it you
can.
Treat your time alive as if it's the
only chance you'll ever get...
and when it's over, you'll look back
and be able to say to yourself, "now
THAT was a good life!"
Then when we meet again in this
world, you can tell us all about it.
Our lives ended too early. It's up to
you to tell us how the rest of it
goes.
* You still have a future, [X].
You have to live for all of us. Your
joy will be our joy.
{Lian} :
* [X], you're always spacing out. We
never know when you'll wander into
trouble...
Look, you be careful, okay? Unlike
us, you're still among the living.
If you ever feel sick or not right,
don't just ignore it. You tell someone
right away, do you hear?

|
| Hello, [X]. Guess you know now that
| I'm way, WAAAY older than you.
| So I expect to be treated with the
| respect, admiration, and awe that I
| deserve. You can call me... Master.
|
| {Ullz} :
|

| You have GOT to be kidding! YOU!?
| "Call me Master"?

|

| don't you listen to him, [X].
| We're already dead!
| * Time stopped for us LONG ago. But
| [X], you're different-you'll never
| stop growin'.
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| You spoiled it! I was totally going to
| be the boss.
{Phelple} :
* Oh, poop.
| {Toumli} :
|
| [ If you talk to Toumli first, start here ]
|
| Er... well... it's like this...
| That is to say... Hm, how DO you say it...?
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| [ If you talk to Tratt or Bachenn first, start here (skip above) ]
|
| Oh, hey, [X]. It's good to see you
| again.
| Hm, what's with the long face?
| Oh, the Crystal Core showed you how
| you were abandoned in the woods?
| Ah, kid. It doesn't matter where you
| came from or how you got here...
| Sure, whoever left you there was
| pretty darn selfish, to say the
| least!
| But if it wasn't for them, you would
| never have been born, would you? So
| I guess you should be grateful...
| even if they WERE the worst parents
| in the world! I mean, what they did
| was unforgivable!
| Still, water under the bridge, huh?
| Just be grateful you're alive, forget
| the deadbeats, and get on with it.
| That's my philosophy, anyway.
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| T-Tratt, you shouldn't say such
| awful things about his parents!
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| Uh-huh. Maybe it's all true, but [X]
| must be feelin' mighty sensitive right
| now, eh, Mum?
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| Harrumph. Since when am I YOUR
| mother?
| The only people around here who are
| allowed to call me "Mum" are little
| Ullz and [X] here!
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| ...!?
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| ...!
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| Hehehe... Isn't that right, [X]? You
| kow I love you like my own.
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| ... Er...
| Maybe YOU think you're [X]'s mother
| and all...
| but if you ask him, he'll tell you
| something quite different!
| I love [X] just as much as I love my
| precious boy Phelple!
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| Yep, you see, honey? EVERYONE loves
| [X]!
| Hm? But wait a sec... If [X]
| calls you Mum, then that makes me,
| er...
| ...
| Dad! Oh boy, I like the sound of
| that!
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| Oh, put a sock in it, you silly old
| goat!
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| That's right, you put a sock in it. I
| don't want my [X] getting all
| confused.
{Tratt} :
* Ah, I remember when I used to change
his diapers. Sherlotta would get so
flustered!
I can't believe our little bed-wetter
has grown into such a fine young man.
{Toumli} :
* Oh, dear, would you listen to me! I'm
not usually like this at all...
It's just... it's just that I love you
SO much, I can't help myself!
| {Bachenn} :
|
| Of course. You'd rather be with your
| dad, wouldn't you, huh?
| Hoho, how you've grown! When I first
| saw you, I could fit all of you in the
| palm of my hand.
| Remember when I tossed you in the
| air? Want to do it again? I'll even
| rub my mustache on your neck!
|
| # Er, thanks, but no thanks. #
| # No way. #
| # I'd rather put my head in a bee hive. #
| # Why don't you ever shave? #
|
| Aw, it's okay, you don't have to be
| shy. I don't mind, really!
|
| # This is harassment. #
| # Touch me and I'll sue you. #
| # I'll sic my dog on you. #
| # I'm going to get a restraining order. #
|
| Hohoho, what a little joker you are!
| But you can't fool me...
| I remember when you were little, you
| LOVED playing with Uncle Bachenn.
| Why, you laughed so hard you cried!
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| That's because he WAS crying, you
| nitwit!
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| ...Shall we just kill him?
| Oh, wait. He's already dead.
| Hmmm. Maybe we could just make him
| WISH he was dead?
{Bachenn} :
* Is it true, [X]? You really didn't like
the mustache-tickling thing?
{Sherlotta} - [MANDATORY] :
I'm sorry. I never meant to lie to
you.
All I wanted was to look after you
until you were old enough to leave
the village and make your own life.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, I
thought that day had finally come.
But the all this happened.
You see, around here death isn't an
ending, it's more like a
transformation.
The villagers used the power of the
Crystal Core to maintain their
appearance so we could raise you.
But when it disappeared, everyone
returned to their real form.
You see, they didn't disappear or go
away. Everyone was still here beside
you.
People have this habit of only
believing in what they can see.
They fear things they don't
understand...
yet when those same things help
them, they praise them as miracles.
But the Crystal Core is inside you
now, and you can see the truth.
The real miracle is that in this
wide, wide world, millions of years
old...
you are standing here, at this
moment.
We were given life and we were given
each other. If that isn't a miracle, I
don't know what is.
You're not alone. Never forget how
lucky you are to be part of a world
so full of light.
The Crystal Core appeared so
suddenly that day.
Who knows why you're the one who
ended up with it? But I know one
thing for sure.
I have a role to play.
I've often cursed the day that I
became immortal...
but now I believe I lived all those
years just so I could be here, today.
A long time ago, the crystals
disappeared from the world.
Larkeicus identified the cause of the
disappearance in a shock wave that
came from the future.
He built that tower so he could stop
the event. It took him centuries and
centuries...
and now it's finally appeared. That
means the event he predicted is about
to happen.
If he can stop it, then the
catastrophe of the past will never
occur.
His goal is to stop this future from
ever happening.
But I won't let him get away with it.
I have to stop him, to save THIS
world.
The event will be powerful enough to
change the ancient past. I don't know
what it could be...
but I DO know that it's going to
happen right where he built that
tower.
Which means I...
I mean, WE have to go there.
To save our present, we have to make
sure that whatever must happen,
happens.
...
*sigh* I wonder why.
I've lived hundreds and hundreds of
years. Why did you come into my life
now?
I was miserable for centuries before
I found you.
I wish more than anything that you
didn't have to be a part of this.
All we ever wanted to do was protect
you.
But we have to face the real world
now.
The Crystal Core chose you.
Everything begins, and ends, with the
Crystal Core.
I want you to come with me. To the
tower.
You're old enough now for any
challenge.
To get to the tower, we'll have to
use the bridge that he built.
But I don't see how we can make
something that huge move by
ourselves.
Hmmm...
You had an artifact to help you find
the Crystal Core fragments, right?
Well, it's a tool that can transform
crystals into energy to activate
machinery.
But we're going to need a lot of
crystals...
and that little thing on its own can't
handle the energy.
But with a few certain attachments,
it should be able to do the job.
So let's go find them.
Hey, don't look so worried. As long as
I'm around, we'll have all the crystals
we'll ever need.
Actually, now that you have the
Crystal Core inside you, I bet you
have the same ability.
You can see dead people. That means
you have at least some of its power.
But let me handle the
crystal-generating duties for now,
okay?
I've got a bit more experience at it
than you.
* Are you ready for the journey? If
you're all set, just let me know.
# Go to the World Map. #
World... Map? What's that? It sounds
useful, but I haven't seen one around
here!
Although now that you mention it,
this IS the first time you and I'll be
leaving the village together.
...Hehe. Shall we go, then?
# Wait for me a bit, okay? #
* Okay, no prob. Listen, while you're
getting ready, why don't you go and
talk to everyone?
[ If you return to Ruined Village again ]
* What's up? Forgot something?
* NOTE : *
Start from here, Sherlotta will be in your party now, so you may encounter her
joining in a conversation. And that's all... she won't join you in battle,
sadly... (It would be fun seeing her casting Thundaja alone, eh? A 2000 years
old immortal, hmm... she should be at level 999+ lol...)

Hi, [X]. Did you find everyone?
They are? In the woods? But what
are they doing there?
They disappeared so suddenly...
Tsk. I just don't understand them at
all.
One thing I DO understand, though, is
that they left me here COMPLETELY

ever going to happen.

| In the middle of this town there is a

| Archeologists from the world over

| This is a treasure hunter's town!

| Oh, so this isn't your first visit?
| Still, you be sure to do what you're

| # Yeah, sure. #
| # Of course. It's my mission. #
| # I shall guard her with my life! #

| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Hey, did you hear? About the
| graveyard?
| Some people were looking for
| artifacts and they got ambushed by a
| dried-up mummy monster!
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| I guess they kind of deserved it,
| digging around in a cemetery of all
| places.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Yeah, but wouldn't you love to see
| it? The collection of the town's
| greatest treasure hunter?
| Of course, with the curse that he
| laid on that place...
| no one can get close enough to see,
| let alone take anything.
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| You really believe those stories
| about a curse?
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Darn right I do. Don't you? If not,
| why aren't you up there right now
| digging away?
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Boy, I really want to go, but that
| place is full of dark-element
| monsters.
| Those things are bad news. You've
| got to hit them with recovery spells
| before you can even hurt them.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Yep. A real pain in the neck.
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Fighting dark skeletons can wear you
| to the bone. No pun intended, haha.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| ...What pun?
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| ...Oh, forget it.
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| * You've got to hit dark monsters with
| recovery spells before you can even

|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| * Yeah. They're a real pain in the neck.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| * They'll wear you to the...
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| * Look, let's just drop the puns, okay?
| My bad for trying in the first place.
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Uh-uh, no WAY!
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Why do we have to go through this
| every single time?
| You know what happens to naughty
| children, don't you?
| The wicked witch of the forest
| comes and takes them away!
| I'm just about at the end of my rope!
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| You can't fool me! I'm not afraid of a
| stupid witch. I wanna go someplace
| NEW!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Maybe I can help? I can take her
| back to the forest with me, if you
| like.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Hmmm...?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| I bet Norschtalen would appreciate
| the company.
| In fact, I KNOW she would. Okay,
| let's go!
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Norschtalen? You mean, the little
| girl who disappeared into the forest
| years ago?
| You... you don't live around here, do
| you? How do you know that name?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Well, we live together in the forest,
| of course.
| Hey, don't worry. My friends are
| taking real good care of her.
| Of course, they're all ghosts, but
| they're very nice ghosts.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| WAAAH!
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Y-you're... joking, of course. Haha.
| But frankly, I don't think it's
| appropriate. That poor girl...
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Me, joking? Uh-uh. Every word is
| true.
| If you don't believe me, come and see
| for yourself.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| NOOOOOOOOO!
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| That's enough! You're scaring my
| daughter half to death.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| I don't get it. The kid said she
| wanted to go someplace new, right?
| So let's go!
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| But your story doesn't make any
| sense. How can ghosts look after
| anyone?
| Are you saying you're a ghost, too?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Oh, no. I'm just immortal. One of the
| undead, a living zombie. Kind of.
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| There! Y-your whole story is
| nonsense. No one is immortal!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Well, I suppose it does sound kind of
| crazy.
| I thought it was pretty crazy too, at
| first!
| My bad. Just forget everything I
| said, okay?
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| It's quite all right. Just please stop
| filling my child's head with those
| unpleasant stories!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Got it.
| So, then...
| Want to see if you can kill me?
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| ...
| I beg your pardon!!!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| You refuse to believe me. So prove
| you're right. See if you can kill me.
[ If you talk to the Lilty Mother next you get the srcipt below, if not skip
to the next ]
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| I-I will do no such thing!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| It's allright, seriously. I can't die.
| Give it your best shot.
[ If you talk to the Lilty Kid next ]
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| P-please, that's quite enough! I won't
| hear any more of your lies!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| It's okay, I told you I'm immortal.
| Come on, have a go. First time for
| everything, right?
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| NOOOOOOOOO!
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| ...
| I have been wrong. Very wrong.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Huh?
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| I cannot leave Mother and go into the
| forest on my own.
| I vow to stop being greedy and
| selfish. I'm going to be good and
| considerate and lead to a virtuous life.
| So, would you please forgive my
| mother?
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Hm? What's this? Y-you're worried
| about ME? Oh, I think I'm going to
| cry...
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| I've changed, Mother. From now on,
| it's a whole new me-earnest and
| honorable and nice to everyone!
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| B-but, my dear... are you feeling all
| right?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Well, well. This is much better. I
| like the new you, kid.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Why, thank you! I am humbled and
| grateful.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Great. Now keep that up, and you'll
| do okay. See ya!
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| It was a pleasure to meet you.
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| * Mother, are you unharmed?
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| * Me? Oh, I'm fine. I'm more worried
| about you. Did you get hit on the
| head or something?
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| * Er, all you all right?
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| * Yes, Mother.
[ Next is MANDATORY one, you'll get info on the next location ]
| [ If you talk to the Selkie first, start here ]
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| So, anyway, we had to run for our
| lives.
|
| [ If you talk to the Yuke first, start here (skip above) ]
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Sounds pretty bad. Was it there?
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Oh, definitely! Those stories about
| a curse are totally true.
| It sucks. That place looks like it's
| FULL of treasure, but there's no way
| I'm going back in.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| You want to tell me what you're
| talking about?
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Hm. I haven't seen you before.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| I'm not so sure about that...
| But, whatever. If you don't remember
| me, then...
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Er, ooo-kay...
| Anyway, we're talking about the ghost
| in the graveyard.
| It was a long time ago, but there
| used to be a famous treasure hunter
| living in this town.
| He didn't care about the ancient
| civilization and the artifacts. He
| was just in it for gil.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...So, let me guess. When he died, he
| insisted that his treasure be buried
| with him.
| But his family couldn't stand the
| thought of all that treasure rusting
| underground...
| so they went to dig it up. But some
| kind of curse drove them away.
| They gave up their rights to the
| treasure, and now every hunter in
| town wants a piece of it.
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| Er... yeah. How did you know the
| story?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Oh, lucky guess. I really didn't feel
| like listening to the long version.
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| B-but...
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| So, anyway, the grave of an artifact
| collector. Think I'll check it out.
| Where is this graveyard place?
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| We'll tell you, but are you sure you
| want to go?
|
| ( You've learned the way to the graveyard. )
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| You don't know what you're getting
| yourself into. A cute girl like you...
| Wait... You DO look familiar...
| That face... and those clothes...
| Where did I... ?
| H-h-holy jeepers! Th-th-th-the
| witch... from the forest!!!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
| Hehehe. So you finally remember.
| What's it been, fifty years?
| I've come for you. Just like I came
| for your mother, and HER mother
| before that...
| And now... it's YOUR turn.
|
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| WAAAH! [ She fainted ]
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Just kidding! You know, I actually do
| remember you from the woods.
| Although you're all grown up now
| and...
| ...Hm?
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Oh, she fainted. I guess seeing you
| was kind of a shock.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Some people have no manners.
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| You're meaner than you look. But I
| guess you have to be in your line of
| work.
| Some people have gone totally mad
| because of the curse. Aren't you
| afraid?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Of a ghost? Oh, no. Curses only
| work because people believe in them.
| But if you know it's all nonsense,
| then no ghost or curse can ever hurt
| you.
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Maybe. But people have heard voices
| and everything...
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Well, I guess someone is playing a
| little prank. Can't wait to find out
| who!
| Curses don't always turn out the way
| you planned them.
| What goes around comes around.
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Wow, aren't you afraid of anything?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Besides, if a curse COULD kill me...
| Well, let's just say it wouldn't be
| the worst thing that happened to me.
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| ...?
| {Female Yuke} :
|
| * ...
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| * Huh. Frozen with shock...
{Male Selkie} :
* If you say so. Good luck to you,
whatever happens.
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Oh, hello. I don't think I've met your
| friend before.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Listen, we're looking for a certain
| artifact from the ancient
| civilization.
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| And you came all the way to this
| town to find it? You don't look like
| the treasure hunter type...
| But in any case, I'm afraid every last
| relic of value has been dug up long
| ago.
| Not that there was ever much
| treasure in those ruins in the first
| place.
| Most of the time, all anyone would
| find were strange devices that no one
| could make work.
| Who knows what the ancients used
| them for?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
| They used them for everything. They
| couldn't live without them.
| But without the crystals, all the
| machines became worthless junk.
| That's why the civilization
| collapsed.
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Crystals? What crystals?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Okay. Gotta go.
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Look, I don't know what you're
| searching for...
| but if it's something from the ancient
| civilization, well, the tower sure
| looks like it came from that era.
| It's been a while since it appeared,
| but no one has managed to get in yet.
| It's virgin teritory. I bet you'd find
| all sorts of things inside.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
| Actually, this device should get us
| in.
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Really?
{Selkie Girl} :
* You've found a way into the tower?
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| Ah, this is the life, eh? Peace and
| quiet, a sun-warmed bench, and not a
| cloud in the sky!
|
| {Female Lilty} :
|
| Are you slacking off again? When are
| you going to smarten up and get a
| real job?
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| Soon enough, I guess. You know, I'm
| thinking of becoming a weapons
| merchant.
|
| {Female Lilty} :
|
| Right, right. And I'll open an items
| shop.
| You know, I met a soldier who wanted
| to go to the ruins and find materials
| to customize his weapons.
| He said he wanted some help. Why
| don't YOU go?
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| Collecting materials, huh...?
|
| {Female Lilty} :
|
| That's right. Come on, on your feet!
| You said you wanted to be a weapons
| merchant, didn't you?
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| Naw, I'm not into factory labor. I
| wanna handle the sales side of
| things. Keep my hands clean.
|
| {Female Lilty} :
|
| ...
| Tsk. I'm starting to think you'll
| never amount to anything.
{Clavat Man 2} :
* Ah, it's another beautiful day.
{Female Lilty} :
* *sigh*

Lady Ghost (Celeb) : A *scary* 800 years old apparition that hide in the crystal
device hidden in the coffin of the Graveyard
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ Upon reaching the last part with the big coffin - MANDATORY ]
[ A scene begins, Sherlotta is opening the coffin ]
Sherlotta :
This could be it.
Here we go...
[ She takes a device from inside the coffin ]
Sherlotta :
Bingo.
[ She then walks away, but a mysterious voice echoes... ]
??? :
Leave it...
Leave it...
Sherlotta :
Huh?
[ She turns to watch her back, but there's nothing behind, only the voices ]
??? :
Like moths to a flame, blinded by treasure...
[ She suddenly throws the device in the coffin's direction... ]
Sherlotta :
There!
[ ... and it hits something... ]
??? :
That hurts!
GrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRR!
[ A purple rune glows on the ground where the device fall, and a lady ghost
suddenly emerges from inside the device... ]
Lady Ghost :
No, no! You must be careful!
It is a precision device!
Handle with CARE!
Do you hear me!?
CURSE YOU!
[ And the lady ghost gets angry... ]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><> BOSS BATTLE <><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><> Celeb <><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
[ After the fight is over, the lady ghost is... shrinking ]
Lady Ghost :
Oooh, nooo...
Not this!
This is my greatest disgrace...
in 800 years!
I curse you to the end of...
time!
[ And Sherlotta shut her off by stamping on it... or her exactly... ]
Sherlotta :
Oh, shut it. I'm 2000 years old, so that
makes me the alpha girl around here.
Lady Ghost :
Ah. So sorry.
[ Sherlotta is then doing some tweaking on the device ]
Sherlotta :
Okay. So this part goes here... and, er...
Yeah, perfect! But...
What is it?
[ Scene ends... ]
Sherlotta :
Now, my little sister.
Lady Ghost :
Y-yes? What is it, m'lady?
Sherlotta :
Sure looks to me like we need another
thingy-ma-jig to attach to you.
Lady Ghost :
Ah, yes indeed, wise one. You are so
very old-ancient in fact-you must
have learned much over the years...
Sherlotta :
...
You know, maybe we don't need this
thing after all.
Let's just smash it.
Lady Ghost :
Noooooo! Please, mistress, forgive
me. I misspoke!
Sherlotta :
Okay. So where is the other piece
then?
Lady Ghost :
I-I don't know. The rumors I hear
say that it was created centuries and
centuries ago.
I was born 800 years ago and I was a
later modification!
*sigh* What IS the point of living so
long, if there are no more crystals in
the world?
...Speaking of pointlessly long lives,
I believe the other piece takes the
form of a staff.
...
Did I say pointless? No! My life is
not without meaning!
Sherlotta :
Look, I'm not interested in your
existential crisis.
Give me some info I can actually use,
and maybe you'll get to live for
another 800 seconds.
Lady Ghost :
Ah, yesss, of course, m'lady. You
defeated me in battle, after all.
Very well...
The ancient people built a huge mine
to dig up the vast quantities of
crystals they needed.
The artifact we seek was a tool to
extract power from the crystals.
Perhaps it is in that mine...
Sherlotta :
A mine? Where?
Lady Ghost :
Eh? Ah, yes. It could be that
way... or this way... couldn't it?
Sherlotta :
Well? Which is it?
Lady Ghost :
It exists, it exists, oh, I'm SURE it
exists! It HAS to, or else...
Sherlotta :
Good. So, show us.
Lady Ghost :
I don't know where it is.
Sherlotta :
...
Lady Ghost :
...
Sherlotta :
...
Okay. Any last words before I finish
you off?
Lady Ghost :
N-n-no, wait, I remember now! The
library! The information you want is
there.
Yes, yes, yes! They have a book, and
it will tell you everything you want
to know. I'm SURE of it.
Sherlotta :
All right. Back to the town we go.
Lady Ghost :
Oh, gods, please save me! Save me
from the clutches of this woman!

[ After obtaining the crystal transformer device in the Graveyard ]
{Guard} :
Oh, hello. You too, huh?
*sigh* Today's my last day, but some
of you just refuse to give up.
That tower caused such a ruckus
when it first appeared. EVERYONE
wanted to get over there.
But it hasn't done a thing since, and
most people have lost interest
by now.
Even the guild has decided it's
harmless and are treating it like any
other old ruin.
They don't have much choice of, of
course. They can't get in to
investigate anyway.
Heck, I've been relieved of my
sentry duties. I can finally go home
again.
I don't reckon there's anything in
there anyway, but if you want to go
chasing dreams, be my guest.
* Heck, I've been relieved of my
sentry duties. I can finally go home
again.
It's none of my business anymore.
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Hm? Oh, it's you again, is it?
| I heard everyone else has given up,
| but not me! Your cute friend there
| has inspired me.
| There's a great pile of treasure
| sitting in there, ripe for the
| picking.
| How can I turn my back on that?
| I don't know why the tower suddenly
| appeared, but frankly I don't care.
| Sure, whoever-or whatever-made it
| appear must have been really
| powerful.
| Some folks around here even starting
| worshipping it, like it was a sign
| from the gods or something.
| But in the end, it's just a relic of
| the past. And I for one don't live in
| the past.
| I'm not about let a bunch of
| long-dead ancients scare ME out of
| doing something I want to do.
| WE'RE in charge now.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
| You might be right.
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| That's why all I care about is the
| gil. Treasure, treasure, treasure!
| So keep your hands off MY loot. If
| you so much as put one finger on it...
| Well, just stay away from it, you
| hear?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Did I say you were right? I take it
| back.
{Selkie Girl} :
* This is my chance, while no one else
is paying any attention.
The treasure is all mine, you hear?
I'm gonna grab every last gem and
then I'll be rich beyond my dreams.
<><><> Village (15) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [VL15]
[ After obtaining the crystal transformer device in the Graveyard ]
| {Ilina} :
|
| Ah, it feels so much nicer being here.
| It's more like home.
| Welcome back, [X].
| You really do have the power of the
| Crystal Core inside you.
| Whenever you return to the village,
| we reappear in our bodies like you
| see us now.
| But when you're away, we just sort
| of hover around, neither here nor
| there.
| See, the power of the Crystal Core
| gave us our old forms and made us
| real.
| We wondered what would happen if
| the crystal disappeared...
| but it seems we're going to stick
| around for a little longer, at least.
| I think that's because you still need
| us, [X].
|
| {Lian} :
|
| But how are YOU doing? Do you feel
| all right, with all that power inside
| you?
| We don't want you to put yourself in
| danger just for our sakes!
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| That's right. We'd love to be with
| you forever, but that's not possible.
|
| {Lian} :
|
| Pretty soon, it's going to be all over
| for us, but we don't mind. Honest.
| It seems like we've been in this
| forest for just about forever.
| We lived long enough to meet you and
| watch you grow up. That's good
| enough for me.
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| The power is yours now. You need it
| for yourself, and for the future.
{Ilina} :
* When you come home, we return to our
old forms. I think I know why...
You still want to be spoiled by your
big sis, right?
{Lian} :
* We're going to have to say "bye" some
day soon.
But it's the same as if we were
alive. All things come to an end.
Not even Sherlotta will be around
forever.
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| ...
| La, la-la-la!
| ...
| Yi-HA! Bam-boody-bam-bam, oh yeah!
| I'm ALL alone in the for-EST!
| Oooh yeah!
| ...
| Ah-HA! Ant hill spotted...
| Time to begin Extreme Death Match
| III!
| Neuroptera Myrmeleontidae is putting
| everything on the line as they
| advance through the sand.
| Now behold today's chosen victim:
| Vespa tropica! It's going to be a

|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| ...
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| ...Hehehe.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| What on earth are you up to?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Eh...?
| WAAAAAAAAARGH!
| Sh-Sherlotta...? H-how long have
| you been...?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Oh, it's not just me. EVERYONE is
| here.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Er... oh... gosh, yes. Teacher? Eryll?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| That's right. Just like that other
| time, we were here watching,
| although ye couldn't see us.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| I was over in the forest. But if I
| HAD been here, I would have heard
| you singing. Too bad.
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Eh, I wouldn't mention that if I were
| ye, Eryll my girl.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| But why not? I would have loved to
| hear Norsy singing her song.
| Right, Norsy?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| ...
| Eryll... Were you...
| ...
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Norsy?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| NoooOOOOOO!
[ If you talk to Waltrill the second time ]
| {Waltrill} :
|
| In any case, I'm glad we saw what ye
| were getting up to today.
| It seems that when ye're left alone,
| ye tend to run a little wild, eh?
| Remember earlier?
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Earlier?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| NoooOOOOOO!
| P-p-please, Teacher! You don't have
| to tell Eryll about it!
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| ...?
[ If you talk to Waltrill the third time ]
| {Waltrill} :
|
| All right, all right. I'm sorry.
| However, it seems ye're a young lady
| with many interests. Magic, the
| performing arts, and insects, too!
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| I read all your books, Teacher. I
| wanted to learn as much as I could to
| help [X].
| And when I was left all alone, I had
| nothing else to do. So I read and
| read.
| In fact, I've read every book in your
| library.
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| ALL of them? Every single one in my
| library...?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Yep. That's how I managed to find
| your secret stash of wine up on the
| top shelf.
| You know what I found next to it? A
| really old book, wrapped up super
| carefully. And inside...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Y-ye didn't, did ye?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| I found a handwritten letter. It kind
| of smelled. You know what it smelled
| of?
| Perfume! *giggle*
| It was from an old flame, wasn't it?
| Guess there's more to you than meets
| the eye!
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| WAAAAAAAAARGH!
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| So anyway, I think we have the
| makings of a deal. Don't you,
| Teacher?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| B-b-b-but... er...
| Okay.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| ...? Norsy, what's wrong with
| Waltrill?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Oh, nothing, I'm sure.
| Right, Teacher?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Aye. Nothing wrong at all.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| ...?
{Waltrill} :
* Grrr...
| {Eryll} :
|
| Norsy, you're a really good singer!
| And you even write your own songs!
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Eh!?
| S-so you DID hear?
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| So do you have any other songs? I'd
| LOVE to hear them!
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Uh-uh, no WAY! I'm still working on
| them. I can't show them to anyone
| else.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Oh, come on, Norsy. You don't have to
| be so shy. You're really good.
| And anyway, I could NEVER write my
| own songs. I think you're amazing.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Eryll, can we just drop it? I know
| you're teasing.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Please, Norsy, pleeease! Sing us some
| of your other songs!
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Arg! [X], help me here!
|
| # Norsy, sing a song! #
| # Norsy, sing a song! #
| # Norsy, sing a song! #
|
| Hey, no fair!
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| ...
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Ooooooh...
[ If you talk to Eryll the second time ]
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| * *sigh* Fine, fine. Maybe next time...
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| * YIPPEE! I can't wait! Isn't this
| great, [X]?
[ If you talk to Sherlotta the second time ]
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Yep, I think she can see us all right.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| I don't get it. No one was around, but
| now... everyone is here... But how?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| When [X] or I are here you can see
| everyone, but when we leave, they
| may disappear again.
| You don't need to panic. No one goes
| anywhere. They're always by your
| side.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| But if I can't see them, then how...?
| Teacher?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| ...
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Eryll?
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| ...
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Well...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| It's not something we can teach ye,
| Norschtalen. Ye have to figure it out
| for yerself.
| But when ye do, I can help ye. That's
| my role, as yer teacher.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Well, I still don't really understand.
| You're saying you might disappear
| again, but you'll still be here, kind
| of.
| As long as I know that, I'll be okay.
| That's all I need. Honest.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| ...
{Sherlotta} :
* ...
{Norschtalen} :
* As long as I know everyone's
here... well, that's good enough for
me.
{Aurdy} :
Ah, hello, [X]. How are you enjoying
your travels with Sherlotta?
# Stunning, in every sense. #
...
Yes, well. It would be, wouldn't it?
the young lady exhibits an appalling
ignorance of etiquette. She does and
says what she wants!
You see, that girl-
Sh-she's not around, is she? She
can't hear us, can she?
Ahem. Anyway, in the old days she
was just like any other village lass.
She was polite, she looked after
Eryll and the other children...
Hard to believe, isn't it? Oh, she
was such a lovely young woman.
The king himself would have crossed
a thousand miles of desert on his
knees for her sake.
She had a smile for everyone and
scattered joy and love wherever she
went! Ah, the memories...
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear... *sob*
...
Listen, young [X].
I've lived a very long time-or
rather, I've been dead for a very long
time.
But over the years, I've learned an
unshakeable truth about life which
I'm going to share with you...
Are you ready?
...
Women are REALLY scary!
[ If your main character is a male ]
* You know what I'm saying, don't you?
We're both men here, right?
[ If your main character is a female ]
* Someday, [X], you, too, will...
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

| You must be terribly hungry. I have
| some warm stew on the stove. Why
| don't you come by?
| Go on, Phelple. You ask him, too.
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Er, so... like, er...

| If you so much as LOOK at it you'll
| be sick for a week!
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| ...Eh?
| Oh, goodness gracious, the boy is
| right! It can't possibly be edible

|
| Gracious me, what am I doing? Would

| B-but it's not my fault, it really
| isn't! I couldn't help myself.
| I'd never DELIBERATELY try to poison

| Even if it was deliberate, that

| We love everyone in our family, no

| Of course, we're not really related,

| {Toumli} :
|
| ...Eh?
| Oh, goodness gracious, the boy is
| right! It can't possibly be edible
| anymore!
| What on earth was I thinking? I
| almost poisoned dear [X]!
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| This is my chance! Okay, [X], why
| don't you come to MY place and...
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| Okat, Mum, that's enough!
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| Ullz? What are you doing?
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| Sorry, [X]. Don't worry about these
| two. We can handle it.
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| See you around!
| {Toumli} :
|
| Gracious me, what am I doing? Would
| I really try and make [X] eat that
| stuff?
| B-but it's not my fault, it really
| isn't! I couldn't help myself.
| I'd never DELIBERATELY try to poison
| dear [X].
| Even if it was deliberate, that
| doesn't mean I MEANT it.
| We love everyone in our family, no
| matter what!
| Of course, we're not really related,
| and now that you've grown up into a
| fine young man...
| W-wait... could it be that romance is
| in the air?
| Oooh, how exciting!
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| * Oh, boy, here we go again. [X], you
| better get out of here while you
| still can.
| {Toumli} :
|
| * [X] is all grown up now!
| *giggle* Don't pay any mind to me,
| dear. I read too many romance novels!
| Although I must say it is fun to
| tease Phelple...
| he gets SO embarassed!
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| * ...
| *sigh*
| {Tratt} :
|
| * Ullz! What are you doing? Get out of

| There she is!
| Hey, beautiful. Looking good as

| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Aw, it's okay. I like it when a girl

| Wh-what IS this man? How does he

| But for how long? Let's get out of

{Male Selkie} :

| {Male Yuke} :
|
| That young girl I met before acted so
| much older than her years.
| She looked like a normal Clavat,
| but...
| if she was over a hundred, then she
| had to be a Yuke or Lilty, right?
| I don't understand how she could look
| so young. A mystery wrapped in an
| enigma, that's what she is!
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| She says she's 2000 years old.
|
| {Male Yuke} :
|
| What!? Then she must be some kind
| of monster.
| I see, I see. So she's actually a
| wizened old crone of the fairy world.
| Hoho...
| Whoops.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Time to die!

| Oh, hello.
| Eh? A crystal mine?
| I'm sorry, I don't quite understand.
| What's a crystal?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Oh, come off it. Everyone knows
| about the crystals disappearing
| 2000 years ago.
| It's in the history books.
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| Yes, yes.
|
| {Clavat Lady} :
|
| Ah, what a cute little talking cup.
| Did your friend buy that for you?
| How wonderful. You're very lucky to
| have such good friends to take care
| of you.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Look, it wasn't a gift and no one
| bought it for me.
|
| {Clavat Lady} :
|
| Oh, you don't have to be embarassed.
| What's wrong with playing with toys
| at your age?
| Now, little girl, you have to be extra
| special nice to your friend. Do you
| hear?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Grrr...
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| Hehe. Did you hear that? She said I
| was cute.
|
| {Sherlotta} :

| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| Ow!
| {Clavat Lady} :

| Ah, she's still out of it.
| How was the graveyard? You went

| The rumors were true, right? You
| heard the voice from that crypt at
| the far end of the graveyard?
|
| [ If you talk to the Selkie first, starts here and skip above ]
|
| Oh, I remember you.
| How was the graveyard? You went
| with your girlfriend there?
| The rumors were true, right? You
| heard the voice from that crypt at
| the far end of the graveyard?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Yeah. But there weren't any curses or
| anything. Just the usual traps and
| tricks.
| Big surprise. Rumors are worth what
| you pay for them.
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Wow, so you really went? Scaaary...
| But, what was the voice then?
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| ...
| Leave it... Leave it...
|
| {Male Selkie} :
|
| Yeah, yeah, that one.
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| Hehe. I was the one who set the

|
| {Male Selkie} :

| Aaaaaaaaargh! [ And he joined the Hall of Fainted club... ]

|
| Little boy, come here...!
| Oh, hello?

| Hmph. No manners at all.

| Oh, Mother, you are too kind. Please,

| snappy!
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Oh, I don't need any tea.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Oh, of COURSE. Forgive me, Mother.
| Waiter! FOrget the tea. Bring us
| nectar! Honey nectar and the finest
| hors d'oeuvres you can find!
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| My dear, I don't want any nectar now.
| It's not even noon.
| * *sigh* How did this happen...?
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Mother, are you unwell?
| I'm SO sorry, I forgot! You said you
| were tired. Would you like a shoulder
| massage?
|
| {Lilty Mother} :
|
| Oh, er, well, I suppose...
| Look, dear. I DO appreciate you being
| so attentive, but... you've been acting
| very weird recently.
|
| {Lilty Kid} :
|
| Weird? Oh, I'm SO sorry, Mother.
| I'll stop it immediately. I don't want

| Hey, I picked up some hot info.
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| *yawn* ...Eh?
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| You really shouldn't sleep here, you
| know. People will get the wrong idea.
| You look like a crazy man who escaped
| from the asylum and got lost and then
| had a fit and passed out.
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| You have a vivid imagination, kiddo.
| Anyhoo. What did you hear?
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Apparently, the graveyard has a
| serious monster infestation.
| They're trying to organize a group to
| go and drive the critters out.
| They've put up a signboard in the
| graveyard. You want to go together?
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| A quest, huh? I guess I DO need the
| exercise. Can't lie around forever,
| right?
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Wow. You're finally gonna get off
| your butt and do some work?
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| For sure!
| But not today. Tomorrow, 'kay?

* Tomorrow, tomorrow, ...
{Female Lilty} :
I saw an odd-looking stranger
sneaking about the library.
She was dressed like a mercenary, so
I just assumed that she was supposed
to be there. But still...
Are you going to the library? Why
don't you have a word with her?
I'd love to know what she's doing in
there.
Some of those mercenary types are a
little strange, if you know what I
mean.
* I saw an odd-looking stranger
sneaking about the library. I think
she was a mercenary, but...
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Oh, hello. You must really like the
| library!
| I warned you the door had been opened
| and the place was full of monsters,
| but you went in there anyway.
| Which reminds me. I haven't seen that
| Larkeicus man since the tower
| suddenly appeared.
| And that was the same day the
| monsters invaded the library.
| I remember you were running errands
| for him not so long ago.
| I can't help thinking there's some
| connection betweem all these events.
| And YOU appear to be the common
| factor...
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Hey, why don't you just come out and
| say it? You think we're behind it all.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| ... Well, yes. Yes I do.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Hmph.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| ...
| Is that it? You're not going to deny
| it?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| We've got better things to do. See
| ya.
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Ah-ha! I've uncovered your little
| game and now you're trying to run
| away.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Assume what you want. You really
| think I care? Like I said, see ya.
| This guy is totally after something.
| Maybe blackmail... or maybe something
| even worse, like...
| Direct marketing! "Recruit a sales
| force and make millions selling
| elixirs!" No thanks!
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| *shudder* We'd sign up dor a trial
| run and next thing you know...
| we're stuck with a ten-year supply of
| potions.
| And would we ever get to see a single
| gil in sales? No way! It all goes in
| his pocket.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Right, right. So remember, no matter
| what he says or does, don't give him a
| single iron penny!
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Hey, hey, hey! COme on, give a guy a
| break. I was just talking, that's all.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Shut it, you snake oil salesman. If
| you want money, go get a real job.

Lady Ghost :
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
That's the one!
Sherlotta :
It's written in the ancient tounge.
Definitely from my time.
Let's see...
"Fishing Fool's Monthly"?
Lady Ghost :
...Eh?
Sherlotta :
"Fly Fishing: The New Retro Boom?
Top Ten Best-Kept Bass Secrets.
The Art of Making Lures..."
Lady Ghost :
Wh-what is this magazine!? Why is
it in the library? And how was it
survived for 2000 years?
Sherlotta :
...
Lady Ghost :
Er, m'lady? I realize that
2000-year-old fishing tips must be
TOTALLY fascinating...
but don't you think we should be
searching for the book that will tell
us how to find the mine?
Sherlotta :
Ah-ha. Here we go. Page 24.
( You've learned how to get to the mine. )
Lady Ghost :
But...?
Sherlotta :
C'mon, let's move out.
Lady Ghost :

some kind of pool in the surrounding. A staff is seen in the center, then
Sherlotta approaches and takes it. ]
Sherlotta :
Well, that wasn't so hard.
I guess that's it...
[ Sherlotta turns backward, and a lizard-like monster is seen crawling on the
wall behind her... She looks back, but it's gone, he turns around again ]
Sherlotta :
Riiight?
[ Again, the monster is seen behind her... apparently upset, she suddenly
throw the staff she's holding backward ]
Sherlotta :
Oh, bug off!
[ It hits the monster, who falls to the pool below ]
Sherlotta :
That's better.
I was SO not in the mood.
[ She walks away, but the monster is crawling back up behind her... and the
staff that Sherlotta thrown is stuck on its body ]
Sherlotta :
Hm?
[ She notices that she has just thrown the staff they're searching for... ]
Sherlotta :
No WAY!
Give that back, now!
[ ... and now she is shouting at the monster... apparently acusing the monster
for stealing it... oh, my... ]

Hmmm...
It's...
It's like, er...
What is it, anyway?
Guess we'll just play around with it and see.
You lead the way.
Show us these ruins you
went and activated, okay?
[ Scene ends... ]
Lady Ghost :
Ta-dah, the key is complete!
Congratulations, m'lady!
How wonderful it is to be back to my
old self! Don't I look marvelous?
Now, how can I serve you, m'lady?
Sherlotta :
Before we can do anything, we need
to supply power to that gate.
Those ruins that Larkeicus tricked
[X] into activating are the key...
We have to go and fix them first.
Larkeicus was just using you from
the beginning, [X].
Lady Ghost :
Oooh, you know Larkeicus well!
Yes, yes, he is such a man.
He even told me that he created me so
that I would thwart anyone who tried
to stop him.
In a world without crystals, what
use could such machines be?
But everything has come to pass as he
planned.
Such tenacity, such obsession. It's as
if he could see every future
possibility, and planned for them all.
M'lady is from the same era, are you
not? Have you known each other since
then?
Sherlotta :
...
Yeah. He saw everything.
Or maybe, he just made everything
happen the way he wanted.
...
Lady Ghost :
Have I awoken sad memories, m'lady?
Sherlotta :
You could say that.
[X]...
I need to tell you...
No, it can wait. For now, we'll just
enjoy the journey, okay?
Let's go.

| Welcome back, [X].
| You know who I am, right? It's Ilina.
| Hehe. I'm having a hard time hanging
| on to my old body.
|
| {Lian} :
|
| Oh, it's not your fault, [X]. We've
| lived for a long time already.
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| Although we were dead for most of
| it, haha.
|
| {Lian} :
|
| But, you know...
| even though we're going to disappear

| actually kind of excited.

| {Ilina} :
|
| You, too?
|
| {Lian} :
|
| Yeah. I think everyone feels the

| You gave us so much, [X]. That's

| {Lian} :
|
| Our lives ended really suddenly that
| day. We were supposed to just
| disappear...
| but fate had a surprise for us. We
| lived on.
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| Yes. Sherlotta was all alone, so we
| looked over her for all those
| centuries.
| She was so lonely and sad, but she
| had to keep on living, day after day.
| It was terrible for her.
| It made us sad, too. Even though we
| were so close, we couldn't help her.
|
| {Lian} :
|
| And so the years and centuries
| passed, until Sherlotta met you.
| That's when it all began.
| When you came into Sherlotta's life,
| she finally emerged from her lonely
| shell. Despair turned into hope...
| and for the first time, she noticed
| that we were right there beside her.
| Our lives changed, too.
| Watching you grow up by day, it
| was like the old days again.
| Before we knew it, you'd grown up
| and were ready for your
| coming-of-age ceremony.
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| I can't tell you how happy that made
| us. It was like we'd never died at
| all.
| It's been a long, strange journey. But
| thanks to you, it was all worthwhile.
| ... In the end, it was a good life.
|
| {Lian} :
|
| Yeah. You made our wishes come true.
| We're all happy. We're all at peace...
| Thanks to you, [X].
|
| {Ilina} :
|
| We'll probably be leaving you soon.
| Look after Sherlotta for us, okay?
| Although I don't have to ask you, do
| I?
|
| {Lian} :
|
| You always do the right thing.
{Ilina} :
* I can't give you a big old hug like I
want to, but you be brave, okay?
From now on, youre going to have to
look after Sherlotta for us.
{Lian} :
* We've tried to be good friends to
you, and a good family.
Your life is just beginning, but we
hope the memories you have of us will
always be a source of strength.

|
| Hey, [X]! You remember me, right?
| Your buddy Ullz?
| Haha, look what's happening to me. I
| look so stupid.
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Hello, [X]. You can probably tell just
| from looking at us...
| but we're finally running out of time.
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| Why are you lookin' so down? It's
| cool. We don't mind, not one bit!
| It's been totally fun ever since you
| came to the village!
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Yeah. We had some real good times,
| didn't we, [X]?
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| *giggle* Remember the time we were
| playin' "runaway bull" and we almost
| knocked your house down?
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Oh yeah! Although I got into SO much
| trouble afterwards.
| My favorite was when we took the
| water wheel from old Aurdy's house
| and rode it down the hill.
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| Wahahaha! Oh, yeah, that was the
| BEST. I still remember the

| {Ullz} :
|
| Yeah, I guess. But [X], you're a
| grown-up now.
| You can't be looking glum all the
| time. You have to go out there and
| grab life by the tail.
| We're already dead, so we didn't ever
| grow up.
| But it was good of you to keep playin'
| with us, even after you got older.
| Hanging out with you was the most
| fun I ever had. You'll always be our
| bestest friend!
| You have to live life for all of us
| now. So don't hold back!
|
| {Phelple} :
|
| Yeah...
| It's been a lot of fun, [X].
| Don't ever give up just because we
| have to go. And don't forget us,
| either!
|
| {Ullz} :
|
| * See ya, [X]. It's been a blast!
{Phelple} :
* Good luck, [X]!
| [ If you talk to Tratt first, start here ]
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| Hi there, [X]. Sorry about the way we
| look. We're a bit... ghostly, I guess.
|
| [ If you talk to Toumli first, start here ]
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| Ah, welcome back, [X].
|
| [ If you talk to Toumli first, go to Tratt's speech then back here ]
|
| We're glad you came, though. It's
| getting about time to say goodbye.
| I wanted to make you something tasty
| before we went, but I don't think I
| can now.
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| I DO hope you'll be all right without
| us. I know how you always forget to
| eat.
| Oooh, I'm so worried. You're going to
| be all on your own!
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| There won't be anyone to welcome you
| home or anything! How will you
| manage?
| Coming back to an empty house with
| nothing to look forward to but a
| frozen dinner and a cold bed...
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| Oh, stop, Toumli. I can't even bear
| to think about it!
| You have to promise us you won't end
| up like that, do you hear?
| Tell me, do you have a friend? A
| special someone you like to hang out
| with?
| You're a grown-up now. You need to
| get married and start a family.
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| Yes, yes, what a splendid idea. Then
| you'll never be lonely.
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| Imagine if [X] had children!
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| I bet they'd look just like [X] when he
| was a baby-cute as a button!
| But just think... what would that
| make us?
| Yes, yes. We'd be like...
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| No! Don't say it, or I think I'd just
| explode with joy right here on the
| spot!
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| Yes. Grandchildren-it's quite a
| thought, isn't it?
| [ If next you talk to Tratt first, start here ]
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| But we really do have to say goodbye
| soon.
|
| [ If next you talk to Toumli first, start here ]
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| But we really do have to say goodbye
| soon.
|
| [ If you talk to Tratt first, skip the above speech for Toumli ]
|
| It seems a pitty fot it to happen now,
| after all this time. But it can't be
| helped, I suppose.
| In fact, knowing you has made this
| long wait all worthwhile.
| Of course, neither of us were your
| real mother...
|
| {Tratt} :
|
| but we always thought of you as our
| very own child.
| How can we have any regrets after
| that?
| Go out and sample everything that
| life has to offer, because you'll
| always be ours.
|
| {Toumli} :
|
| * Thank you, [X]...
| Thank you from the bottom of my
| heart.
{Tratt} :
* Goodbye, [X], and be brave!
| {Aurdy} :
|
| Oh, hello, [X]. You're just in time.
| I shall be going soon, but I very much
| wanted to see you before I left.
| Have you talked with the other
| villagers already? They've been most
| anxious to see you.
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| ...
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| Please, do visit with everyone. Show
| them what a fine young man you've
| become.
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| ...Zzt...
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| [X], it's hard to believe you've grow
| up so big and strong.
| It seems like only yesterday that you
| were yea high.
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| ...Pzzzt... *snort*
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| We've tried to bring you up the right
| way, to be responsible and
| considerate.
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| ZZZZZZZZZT... PZZZZZZTH...
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| ...
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| ZZZZZZZZZT... PZZZZZZTH...
| *snort* BLLLTHZZZ....
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| Will... you... PLEASE... STOP... THAT!
| How can you POSSIBLY sleep on THIS
| day, of all days!?
| {Bachenn} :
|
| ZZZZZZZZZT... PZZZZZZTH...
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| Wake up, you ridiculous bumpkin!
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| ...Hm?
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| Oh, are you awake? We were just
| saying goodbye to young [X].
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| ...
| Who's my favorite little boy? Give
| Papa a kiss!
| ...
| ZZZZZZZZZ...
|
| {Aurdy} :
|
| GRRRRRRRRR! I'll throttle the
| numbskull, I swear I will!
| *pant pant*
| Oh dear... I don't have... the
| energy... leaving soon... must
| prepare... *cough*
| {Aurdy} :
|
| * *pant pant*
| [X]... I must go... Live well... be
| strong...
|
| {Bachenn} :
|
| * ... Hey, [X]... Want to play tickles
| with my mustache?
| ...
| ZZZZZZZZZ...
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| B-b-b-but, T-Teacher...?
| [X], you're just in time! You have to
| help us. Teacher is turning into a
| spirit!
| Look, you can barely see him anymore.
| I never really believe in spirits,
| but it's happening.
| Teacher is getting all gaseous!
| I d-don't understand it. Is this a
| scientific transformation?
| Has phosphorous gotten into his
| bloodstream?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Ach, Norschtalen, ye're forgetting to
| breathe again, aren't ye?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Oh, s-sorry!
| Phooo...haaaaaa. Phooo... haaaaaa.
| O-okay, I'm calm now. Even keel.
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| There's no explanation for what's
| happening. No scientific explanation,
| at least.
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| But, Teacher, I don't understand!
| Please...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| ...
| Well, it's like this: I don't have much
| time left.
| The simple fact is, I'm already dead.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| ...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Aye, I suppose it is a bit surprising.
| Ye may not believe me, but it's the
| honest truth.
| Ye see, everyone in this village apart
| from ye and [X] are already-
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| You're all from the ancient
| civilization, aren't you?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Aye, that's right. I knew ye'd catch
| on quick. Ye're a smart girl.
| Wait.
| Have ye known all along?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| It occured to me when I was reading
| the books in your library.
| All your books were from the ancient
| times. Really rare books that you
| can't even find in the town library.
| I didn't believe it at first, but the
| more I tought about it, the more it
| made sense.
| It wasn't just you-everyone in the
| village used the ancient language and
| ancient runes.
| When I first came here I just assumed
| everyone was a super genius...
| so I studied and studied so I could
| understand it, too.
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| Ah, is that so?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| And then there was the Crystal Core
| incident. When everyone suddenly
| disappeared and reappeared...
| But, it doesn't matter now. When I
| first came here, everyone accepted
| me without question...
| The people of the village were so
| kind to me, even though I was just a
| stranger.
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| But... why are you all changing now?
| What's going to happen?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| ... Well, I think we're leaving.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| ...Eh?
| ...
| You mean, you're turning invisible,
| right?
| You'll still be here, right? Standing
| next to me? Listening to my songs?
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| ... No, Norsy. I'm afraid that this
| time, we're really going.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| ...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| This time had to come, sooner or
| later. But now it's here, it somehow
| feels right.
| All living things pass on eventually.
| There'll always come the day when we
| have to say goodbye.
| In nature, there is no forever.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| ...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| It was wrong of me to find ye and
| bring ye here. None of this had
| anything to do with ye...
| Ye should never have become involved.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| ...No. The truth is... I didn't really
| get lost... in the forest.
| When.. when I lived in the town... I
| was alone. I was an orphan.
| They put me in a home... but no
| matter what I did... it was always
| wrong...
| They got mad at me every day...
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| I know, I know. That's why I brought
| ye here.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| *sob* Teacher, please...
| Please! I don't want you to go!!! [ *sob* *sob*... :( ]
| * NOOOOOO!
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| I'm sorry, Norsy.
| Forgive me, my girl.
{Waltrill} :
* Take care of yerself now...
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Eryll? What's going on?
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Unnn... well... you know.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ... I see.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| The power of the Crystal Core kept
| us all here.
| But now that it's gone, there's
| nothing holding us back...
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| I'm sorry I made you stay with me for
| so long.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| No, we didn't mind. We WANTED to be
| with you.
| We're actually really glad the
| Crystal Core came to the forest.
| It was supposed to have ended for us
| on that day way back then.
| But thanks to you, we saw everything
| that happened afterwards. And we
| learned so much.
| You can tell, just by looking at us,
| can't you? You see how happy
| everyone is?
| I think the Crystal Core knew
| everything from the very beginning.
| That's why it made our deepest
| wishes come true.
| The Crystal Core is filled with
| peace and kindness and love.
| *giggle* Kind of like you, Sherlotta.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| I'm not as good a person as you.
| Sometimes I get angry, and sometimes
| I feel sad.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| But think... Who is that anger and
| sadness for?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| You see? You're the kindest person
| I've ever known. Your purity is what
| makes you so strong.
| It's just like the Crystal Core.
| That's why it kept sparkling...
| even after all the other crystals
| disappeared.
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| But what IS the Crystal Core,
| really?
| It appeared out of nowhere, and
| suddenly changed everything.
| It made me immortal and gave me the
| power to make crystals.
| I didn't want that power. I never
| asked for it. What use was it to me?
| I would have been better off without
| any of it.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Except that it kept you alive all
| those centuries...
| so that you could be there in the
| forest on the very day that [X]
| appeared.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ... And that made it all worthwhile.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| You see? There's a reason for
| everything. And there must be a
| reason why you can make crystals!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Yes. The power will help us reach
| that tower.
| But I hate the idea that I need
| something that I hate so much.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Your mission still isn't over,
| Sherlotta. Shouldn't you be going?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ... Yes, of course.
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Good luck, Sherlotta.
| {Eryll} :
|
| * Good luck.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| * ... Yeah.

| She's not your superior officer.

|
| Yes, matriarch.
|
| {Clavat Lady} :
|
| What is she, the head of some secret
| society? Remember, you're her

| Ah, good timing! Something's wrong

| That IS a surprise. Nothing I tried

| You two really gave me a scare. I was
| about to make a big scene!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Yeah. If it was a joke, it's not very

| You're not children. You should know

|
| What happened to you?
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Oh, hey. I tried to think of some way
| to get to the tower but...
| Huh-huh-huh, nothing doin'. Little
| too much exercise for this noggin,
| huh-huh-huh!
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| Really knocked yourself out, huh?
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Hey, wait a minute. What are YOU
| doing back on your feet?
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| Turned over a new leaf. Now I'm a
| leader, a doer and a real go-getter!
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Is that right? Well, whatever. Have
| fun.
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :
|
| ...
| That slacker attitude really IS
| annoying.
| Although I guess you deserve a break
| after trying so hard to get into the
| tower.
|
| {Selkie Girl} :
|
| Yeah, rest time for me.
| * I don't wanna see that tower for a
| good long time!
| {Selkie Girl} :

| * Huh-huh, the sky is pretty...
|
| {Clavat Man 2} :

| * Was I really as bad as this?
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| So what are you all upset about now?
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| I-I'm not upset...
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Fine.
| Oh, did you hear the latest?
| Apparently they've discovered a new
| cave.
| Well, not a real cave. It's man-made,
| like someone was digging for
| something.
| they think it's an ancient mine. Want
| to go check it out?
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Er, I'll pass.
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Aw, come on!
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| How about you, then? Do you want to
| check out the mine?
| Supposedly, there's already some
| signpost there about a missing girl
| or something.
| If we don't hurry, there'll be nothing
| left for us.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| No thanks. We were just there.
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Aw, I knew it! You're all so quick
| it's hard to keep up.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Hmph. Still up to your old tricks,
| then?
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Huh!?
| Uh-oh, busted...
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| You and your friend here are luring
| people to the mine to steal their
| money.
| You're too chicken to do it on your
| own, so you got this guy to help out.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| Wait, this is a big misunderstanding!
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Hey, now, hold on there. He hasn't
| done anything wrong that I've seen.
| If you're going to insult my friends,
| you'll have to answer to me.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| W-wow, that is so touching. Thanks,
| friend!
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Sure, this guy is a grumpy, whiny
| malcontent who takes advantage of
| people's misery and shortcomings...
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| ...
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| I've been with him a long time, and I
| know all about his insults and total
| lack of manners.
| Even I get sick of defending him. Yes,
| he's THAT annoying.
| But what exactly did he do this
| time? Tell me!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| You don't expect much from your
| friends, do you?
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| He doesn't, does he?
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Come on, what did he do? If I don't
| like your answer, there'll be hell to
| pay!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| He tries to pick fights so he can
| swindle money out of people.
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|
| I told you, that's a misunderstanding.
| It's a case of mistaken identity!
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| ......
| Well, you really messed up this time,
| didn't you?
|
| {Male Lilty} :
|

|
| You've sunk low, but it's not too

| Er, are you going to file an oficial

|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| No, he was stopped before he could

| Look, I told you...
| Oh, never mind.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Look, we've got to go. Stay out of

|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| Yes, ma'am, will do!

[ Activating the ruins to power the Gate - MANDATORY ]
[ Upon reaching the final part and going to the top, a scene begin showing
Sherlotta examining a small object on the ground of the ruins... ]
Sherlotta :
Hmmm...
[ She put the staff on the object and it starts to glow, but nohting else
happened... ]
Sherlotta :
...?
[ She looks upset, turns back, takes a distance and then jumping, smashing the
staff to the object... ]
Sherlotta :
Hyaaa...
YAAAAAA!
[ It apparently works, the object glows and sinks to the ground... a moment
later, the circle part of the ruins rotates and emitts a huge beam that
projected onto the right part of the Gate ]
Lady Ghost :
Waaah!
M-m-m'lady, please. I'm a precision
device. What if I were to break?
Sherlotta :
I'd hit you harder and straighten you
out again.
Lady Ghost :
Y-you wouldn't! People these days
are SO cruel.
Sherlotta :
I'm not from "these days."
Lady Ghost :
Yes. Of course.
Sherlotta :
Anyway, one down, one to go. Next up
is Ice Mountain. [ If you go to Ice Mountain first, it should be 'Fire' ]
Let's do it. No point wasting time!
Lady Ghost :
P-please, be gentle.

[ Upon reaching the final part and going to the top, a scene begin showing
Sherlotta is running, apparently going to smash the same object on the ground
like in the Fire Mouintain before... ]
Sherlotta :
Hyiiiiii...
YAAAAAAR!
[ Again, the object glows and sinks to the ground... a moment later, the circle
part of the ruins rotates and emitts a huge beam that projected onto the left
part of the Gate. After both ruins are activated, the Gate is now glowing. ]
Sherlotta :
*phew* Okay, all done. Now we head
for the gate.
Lady Ghost :
...
Sherlotta :
Hm?
Lady Ghost :
Ungh... bzzzt... malfunc... *gonk*
Sherlotta :
Broken, eh?
Guess it needs a good whack.
Lady Ghost :
Ah! No, no, no, please don't! I'm
better again. I was just kidding.
Sherlotta :
Good to hear it. We still need you,
after all.
Lady Ghost :
Th-then perhaps... you could be a
little more gentle?
I'm not an iron mallet. I'm a crystal
decive!
Oh, woe! Why am I stuck with this
madwoman? Why is she the only one
who can make crystals!?
Sherlotta :
...
Lady Ghost :
M'lady?
Sherlotta :
I was just thinking. Why DO I have
the power to make crystals?
Everything began when that Crystal
Core appeared.
Looking at it now, its appearance
somehow made our
meeting... inevitable.
Becoming immortal meant lived long
enough to eventually find you, [X].
And now, is my power to make
crystals about to play a role, too?
...
Lady Ghost :
Er, m'lady?
Sherlotta :
Let's go. We'll have all the answers
soon enough.

holding the staff ]
Sherlotta :
Stand back a bit, okay?
This...
This is my job!
[ She then summons many crystals around her... ]
Sherlotta :
Right...
Time for fireworks!
[ She place the staff on the small object on the ground, and the crystals
around her are somewhat absorbed into the staff device. Moments later,
the staff fires beam to the center of the Gate. Then, a long bridge magically
appears that span from the Gate to the Tower... ]
Sherlotta :
*pant pant*
I tell you kid, they sure didn't
want to make this easy on us.
[ And the scene ends ]
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| Ah, well done, well done!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Yeah, good work.
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| Oh, no. I am delighted to be of
| service. For a tool, being useful is
| the ultimate reward.
| Now that the crystals are so scarce,
| I am like your personal servant,
| m'lady. A servant for life!
| Shall we move on then, m'lady?
| Tally-ho, off we go!
| Er...
| M-m'lady! Aren't you forgetting
| something?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...?
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| Hello? Haven't we forgotten
| something VERY IMPORTANT?
| I'll give you a hint: I'm still stuck in
| this rock.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Yes, I can see that.
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| There's no portability without
| extraction, you see.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Of course. What is your point,
| exactly?
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| ......
| Um, you need to pull me out again so
| you can bring me with you, yes?
| You KNOW we make a great team. I
| can handle all the crystals you need!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Naw, I don't need you anymore.
| I don't see why I should lug you all
| over the places just for old times'
| sake.
|
| {Lady Ghost} :
|
| B-but!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Look, it's not like you're hidden in a
| graveyard or anything. Someone will
| find you eventually.
| Maybe they'll take a fancy to you and
| use you as a coat rack or lamp stand.
| Take care. Hope you find a new owner

| That's the condition. If you refuse,

| Well, you've seen how these two are.

|
| Oh, if ye have the talent, ye don't

| Ye've learned things that are much

| Ye're always putting yerself down,

| ...Oh, er, right. Well, I just wanted
| to practice what I learned. They
| were easy problems.
|
| {Waltrill} :

| What ye don't know is that I
| struggled with those "easy" problems
| for 2000 years...
| and I still couldn't solve them.
| The magic in that book contains
| secret techniques lost for many
| centuries.
| If ye took yer knowledge to the
| outside, ye'd shake the world of
| magic down to its foundations.
| Ye'd become the most famous magic
| user who ever lived.
| Norschtalen, ye can do anything that
| ye put yer mind to. Ye don't have to

| Thanks, [X]. I love you so much!
| It's almost time for me to go, but
| promise to look after Norsy and
| Sherlotta, okay?
| Whoops, sorry. I don't have to ask
| YOU that, do I? Of COURSE you'll
| look after them!
| Do you remember the things you saw
| when we put the Crystal Core back
| together?
| Well, you mustn't forget those
| things.
| That's Sherlotta's Crystal Core, you
| know.
|
| {Waltrill} :
|
| I think...
|
| {Eryll} :
|
| Yeah.
| I have to go now. You know how it is,
| right, [X]?
| ...
| *sigh* It was fun. I had a good time.
| Sherlotta, Norsy, [X]... Thanks for
| everything!
| Goodbye.
|
| [ And they're vanishing too... *sob*... ]
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| She's gone.
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| Norschtalen?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Y-yeah? What?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| It's okay. You don't have to hold back
| anymore.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Wh-what do you mean? I'm fine.
| If Teacher and Eryll saw me... getting
| all upset about this... Well, they'd
| laugh wouldn't they?
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| You're a good girl, Norschtalen. But
| it's okay to let yourself go
| sometimes...
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| B-but... *sob*... I'm... all right...
| It's just... dust in my eye...
| ......
| *sob*
| Waaaaaaaaaaaah!
| * Eryll, Teacher, pleeease, come
| back!!! Waaaaaaaaah!
| WAAAAAAAAAH!
|
| {Sherlotta} :
|
| ...
{Sherlotta} :
* [X]...
It's time we went to that tower.
Everything begins and ends there.
You get yourself ready. We won't be
coming back to the village again.
<><><> Tower (01) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [TR01]
[ After summoning the bridge to the Tower, going to meet the final boss... ]
[ Upon entering the entrance of the Tower for the first time ]
Sherlotta :
Well, here we are.
[X]...
Everything began, and will begin,
from the top floor of this tower.
Everything.
The long wait is over, and whatever
made the crystals disappear is
finally about to happen.
This tower was built to stop it...
but WE'RE here to make sure that
everything happens as it should.
[X], this is it.
The end of everything... and the
beginning.
...
[X]...
I have to warn you...
...
When we reach the top, you're going
to learn the whole truth, at last.
And I'm going to ask you to do
something for me.
A very simple thing.
Really, just about the simplest thing
in the world.
Shall we? There's only one way to go
from here...
and that's up.
[ A brief scene showing the sky-scrapper Tower... ]
[ Upon reaching the topmost, and final floor... there is a girl sitting in
a chair far ahead in a huge room, and Sherlotta is walking towards her ]
Sherlotta :
Yes, it's me.
The real me, blind and deaf.
I'm just an empty shell,
a puppet without strings.
[ Scene now showing around the girl, who apparently is the real Sherlotta ]
Sherlotta :
After he captured me, he began to use me as
a guinea pig in his immortality experiments.
By the time he finally succeeded,
I couldn't act on my own any more.
All I could do was create crystals
for him, at his command.
[ Shifts to flashback of the forest in the past, before the Crystal Core
appearance, Sherlotta is seen walking together with Eryll holding a black
cat.
Sherlotta :
But in that village...
I wasn't the only one...
[ A bright flash occurs ]
Sherlotta :
the crystal core made immortal.
[ The view zoomed on the black cat ]
Sherlotta :
Even though it meant living in this cat's body,
I was able to connect to the outside world.
maybe this kept me sane.
[ Now the black cat is seen walking alone in the forest ]
Sherlotta :
But still...
I had lost all hope.
I was just killing time, endless time.
[ Scene showing Sherlotta who met the baby in the forest ]
Sherlotta :
Until, that is, I found you in the forest...
That changed everything.
[ Sherlotta is holding up the baby ]
Sherlotta :
I remember wondering, why? Why is this
baby making me shake so much?
I remember feeling this incredible... longing.
[ View is now inside one of the house in the village, with the moon seen outside
the window ]
Sherlotta :
I think that because I was immortal, I had
forgotten just how precious life is.
[ Sherlotta is hugging the baby in the bed ]
Sherlotta :
But you reminded me.
I vowed then and there to give
everything I had to protect you.
I loved your tiny heartbeat.
I loved how warm you felt in my arms.
I loved when you laughed.
When I thought about how one day...
[ Sherlotta is walking outside with the baby ]
you would stand on your own two feet,
my heart leapt with joy.
You taught me to hope...
and that's when I began to see the villagers.
That's right. They'd been
beside me all along.
I was not alone. You saved me.
[ The villagers is seen all in front of Sherlotta, looking all transparent... ]
Sherlotta :
You led me from that eternal
darkness into the light.
You gave me everything I now have.
[ Scene back to present time ]
Sherlotta :
You are my whole world,
and without you I'm nothing...
I would do anything, anything at all,
if it meant saving you.
[ The view zoomed in on the real Sherlotta ]
That's why...
That's why, I want you to kill me.
Without me, there can be no more crystals.
And without crystals, he cannot resurrect himself.
Please..
??? :
I'm afraid I can't allow that.
[ Larkeicus is entering the room ]
Larkeicus :
The time is almost here.
If I am to stop vhat is going to
happen, I must have crystals.
Of course, once it's over
you can do as you please.
In fact, I'll kill you myself, as a special favor.
I suspected you vere the
cause and origin all along.
Sherlotta :
You don't understand a thing, Larkeicus.
The crystals are the hopes of the living...
and life is all about wishing
the best for those we love.
When corruption rules the world,
the crystals disappear.
There's nothing you or anyone
else can do to change that.
Larkeicus :
Wrong!
Mumbo-jumbo idiocy.
Their disappearance vas a purely
scientific phenomena...
triggered by an event in the future.
An event that is due to occur very soon...
except, this time, I vill not allow it.
Ja, I vill prevent it, and the
vorld vill be transformed.
It vill be as if the tragedy never happened.
Sherlotta :
What's done is done, Larkeicus.
Even if you're right...
even if the cause is here in the present,
there's nothing you can do about it.
Larkeicus :
Bah, I vaste my time.
You are ignorant. Science does not lie.
Two thousand years...
Two thousand years I have
vaited and prepared.
According to my calculations, the event
vill take place far above the ground.
So I built this tower to reach that point.
I have calculated countless
scenarios and permutations.
I have an answer for all of them.
My preparations are absolute.
And now, the time is here.
I have no doubt now that you yourselves
are the ultimate trigger.
The proof is self-evident. You are here,
at this place, at this moment.
I told you that next time ve met, I vould
eliminate you as the cause of everything.
[ Strange marks appears on his face, and his hand is somewhat transformed... ]
Larkeicus :
YOU must be eradicated!
[ Runes glow on the floor and three monsters arise ]
Only then vill the cycle of
cause and effect be broken.
The glory of the ancient civilization vill return!
I shall rule supreme!
[ And the final battle commences ! Uhm, just the first phase though... ]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><> BOSS BATTLE <><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><> Larkeicus 2 <><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
[ After the battle... ]
Larkeicus :
Hahaha...
You are strong.
But remember, I told you I vas
ready for every possible outcome.
My preparations vere absolute.
[ He throws his hat away, and he looks really scary now... ]
Larkeicus :
Now let the real game begin!
[ He points to Sherlotta ]
Sherlotta :
Ah... urgh. Unnngh...
[ Crsytals are emerging around Sherlotta from nowhere, and absorbed into
Larkeicus transformed hand. Some kind of flame engulfs his body now. ]
Larkeicus :
I vill eradicate the true cause...
once and for all!
[ The room is changing into weird landscape, and Larkeicus is transformed
totally into his final form ]
Larkeicus :
Vere it not for you,
the civilization vould still stand!
You are the primary cause of everything!
You cannot beat me.
I have lived 2000 years!
[ Aaaaaaand... the final showdown! Yay! ]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><> BOSS BATTLE <><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><> Neo Larkeicus <><><>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
<><><> Ending <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [END]
[ After the final battle... vapour rises from Larkeicus' body ]
Larkeicus :
Clearly, this one had a good teacher.
Unfortunately, the lessons vere in vain.
As long crystals still exist, I cannot die!
[ Sherlotta is get up and running towards him... ]
Sherlotta :
Oh yeah!?
[ ... but Larkeicus seize her in the head using his arm ]
Sherlotta :
Aaargh!
Ungh!
[ Larkeicus then just throws her away ]
Larkeicus :
Yaaargh!
And as long as I have THIS, I have
all the crystals I'll ever need.
That's vhy I made you this vay, after all.
[ He points to the real Sherlotta, and again crystals were summoned around her,
and absorbed into his arm. Meanwhile, the cat-Sherlotta is somewhat returning
to her real form, a black cat... ]
Larkeicus :
I never imagined you vere creeping around
the vorld in that creature's body.
Vhat's wrong? Losing your grip?
[ After the usual laughing-in-sinister-way, he turns to the main character ]
Larkeicus :
Don't vorry. Your turn is coming soon.
[ But suddenly, the real Sherlotta appears behind him, and seize him... ]
Sherlotta :
I don't think so.
Larkeicus :
Vhat th-?
Y-you!? B-but, how?
Sherlotta :
That child means the world to me.
I will do anything for that
child, anything at all!
Larkeicus :
Vhat foolishness!
You're just a tool to generate
crystals. Nothing more!
Let go of me. It is almost time!
[ Larkeicus is struggling to be released (lol) ]
Sherlotta :
A tool? Very well. I'll do as you want.
[ Something is glowing on the floor in front of them ]
Larkeicus :
A crystal!?
Sherlotta :
Yes. The crystal that appeared in the forest.
The world's last remaining Crystal Core.
[ The Crystal Core appears before them ]
Larkeicus :
But v-vhy!? Vhy did you bring it here?
[ Again vapour rises from Larkeicus' body, and scene shifts to the forest when
the Crystal Core first appears there ]
Sherlotta :
I understand everything now.
I understand why it appeared that day...
why I was the only one
who absorbed its power...
and why this was the only crystal
that denied your will.
[ Scene back to present time ]
Sherlotta :
I realized that... I must have made it.
[ She then releases Larkeicus, who falls down to his knee, apparently shocked ]
Larkeicus :
N-nooo!
Sherlotta :
I poured my whole soul into it.
Everything that I am.
[ She then walks towards the main character, leaving Larkeicus who still moaning
"Nooooo... nooo..." behind... lol ]
Sherlotta :
Now. This is your real
coming-of-age ceremony.
Shatter the crystal for me.
Show me that you now stand
on your own two feet.
[ Scene ends, and this is the "simplest thing in the world" that Sherlotta asked
at the Tower entrance, that you must destroy the Crystal Core. However, before
doing it, you can say some words to Sherlotta, or just say goodbye to your
'friend', the poor Larkeicus who still can't believe it... ]
{Sherlotta} :
* Now, show me how strong you've
become.
Show me that you can stand on your
own two feet, no matter who tries to
stop you.
Events must unfold as they should.
You have to do this. For yourself,
and for your future.
{Black Cat} :
* ...
{Larkeicus} :
* NOOOOOO!
If you smash the crystal, it vill
destroy us all!
Everything will be sucked into its
maw, and nothing vill survive.
The great rift in vhich this tower
stands was created by that
cataclysm.
Do you dare to destroy your present,
as vell as the glorious civilization
of the past!?
I vill not allow it!
[ And after shattering the Crystal Core... ]
Larkeicus :
Nooo...
N-noooooo...!
Sherlotta :
Your theory was correct.
The catastrophe of the past was triggered
by events in the here and now.
But didn't you wonder why?
So high off the ground?
Larkeicus :
But... no! Y-you mean...
This... this tower?
Sherlotta :
If you hadn't built it, what could have
possibly happened, all the way up here?
Larkeicus :
No, it cannot be!
Everything I've done... vas in vain?
Sherlotta :
The present is built on the past.
What has already been
cannot be undone or redone.
What happened here, had to happen.
In the end, your own efforts to save the crystals
were the cause of their disappearance.
There's nothing left for you to do now.
It's time we returned to our own age.
Larkeicus :
N-no, this cannot be.
I cannot be the cause!
I vorked for two thousand years!
All for nothing!?
[ The Crystal Core is shining ]
Larkeicus :
I...
N-nooo...
Pleeeaaase!
AAAAAAAAARGH...!
[ And he turns into vapour, and gone like sands blow by the wind... afterwards,
the compas-like tool that used by him is dropped on the floor ]
Sherlotta :
It's been a long, hard journey for you.
But there's nothing to fear anymore.
Everything has happened as it had to.
Don't look so down.
Hey, do I look sad to you?
[ View showing some flashback scenes of the past ]
Sherlotta :
I've lived a long, long time.
I only knew you for a tiny
fraction of that life...
but I wouldn't have given
it up for the world.
Goodbye...
and thank you.
[ The compas-like tool is ticking, and outside, golden light is seen
emitting from the tower top and slowly engulfing and turning the whole tower
into dust from top to bottom, also the bridge... ]
<><><> Village (18) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [VL18]
[ Afterwards, the view showing the landscape from afar where Ice and Fire
Mountain can bee seen, this time minus the Tower. The sun rises in the
middle of them, and view now set on the village. ]
Norschtalen :
Good morning, [X].
You slept in again, huh? You should
be careful not to make a habit of
that!
Anyway. How about some breakfast?
{Norschtalen} :
Ah, hello [X].
Are you okay? You look like you're a
thousand miles away.
Are you going to the pond again
today?
Whenever you go there, you always
come back looking glum.
If something's bugging you, maybe you
can talk to me about it? You know,
get it off your chest?
...
I understand, I really do.
But it's something you have to work
out on your own.
I will say one thing, though.
Never forget what Sherlotta and the
people of the village entrusted you
with.
They were happy because YOU were
happy, [X].
And they'll always be behind you, no
matter where you go or what you do.
You have to be positive, look to the
future, and build your own life.
That's what everyone wanted for you.
Including me.
It's okay. I'll always be here.
So take your time, and think about
what I said.
* Take your time and think about what
I said, okay?

shard that once given by Sherlotta and throw it to the pond and leave.

| {Norschtalen} :
|
| How is it, Sherlotta? Taste good?
|
| {Black Cat} :
|
| Meow.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Welcome back, [X].
| Look. Sherlotta's come home. I wonder
| where she's been.
| ...
| Why are you looking at me like that?
| I don't mean OUR Sherlotta, silly!
| It's Sherlotta the cat. Eryll used to
| look after her.
| Eryll loved Sherlotta so much...
| she called ALL her pets and toys
| "Sherlotta."
|
| {Black Cat} :
|
| Meow.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Yes, yes. I know. You're special.
| So, when I say Sherlotta, I mean
| Eryll's cat, Sherlotta. See?
|
| {Black Cat} :
|
| Meow.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Oh, now what? You are SO chatty
| today!
| {Black Cat} :
|
| Meow.
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Doesn't she remind you a little bit of
| the real Sherlotta?
|
| {Black Cat} :
|
| * *purr* Meow...
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Hehe. She really likes you, [X].
| Look. Doesn't her tail look just the
| same...?
|
| {Black Cat} :
|
| Hssssss!
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| Whoopsy! See? She's got Sherlotta's
| personality and everything!
| ... *sigh* It makes me a bit sad,
| having her as a reminder all the
| time...
|
| {Black Cat} :
|
| Meow?
|
| {Norschtalen} :
|
| It's okay. I'm sorry for playing with
| your tail.
|
| {Black Cat} :
|
| Meow.
{Norschtalen} :
I've been meaning to say, [X]. You
seem to have changed, somehow.
It's as if you've found peace or
something. You're like the old [X] we
used to know.
... I guess everyone in the village is
at peace now.
So, what's next for you? Are you
going on a new adventure?
... I see.
I'm sure you'll be success, no
matter what you do. Remember, I'll
always be cheering you on.
Me?
Oh, I don't know.
I was thinking I'd stay right here.
It's like Teacher said. You can study
magic just about anywhere.
All of Teacher's materials and books
are here. I'm used to things in the
village.
I'm going to follow in his footsteps
and fulfill his dreams.
When I first came to this forest, I
was trying to run away from my past.
Anywhere was better than where I
was.
But now the forest is home, and I
want to stay here.
And don't forget, [X], you'll always
have a home here, too.
Whenever you get tired of traveling
and adventuring, you come back,
okay? I'll be waiting.
I won't say goodbye, [X]. We'll be
seeing each other again soon enough!
* See you later, [X]!

Oh, hello! I haven't seen you in a
while. Were you sick or something?
Don't be too shocked, but take a look
over there. The tower suddenly
vanished!
The sky just filled with blinding
light, and after it faded, the tower
was gone!
It went away as suddenly as it
appeared.
*sigh* I got used to seeing it every
day. Now that it's gone, this place
seems so empty.
There one day, gone the next. What a
capricious tower!
Ughhh. It's really starting to bother
me! What WAS it all about?

| You know what happens to naughty

|
| {Lilty Kid} :

| ......
| Was she REALLY a forest witch?
|

|
| Of course not. The witch legend is

| {Male Lilty} :
|
| No, I'm still interested. It's just
| that I can't figure out what it was
| all about.
| How did something so HUGE just
| appear and disappear like that?
| It shouldn't be possible, even if you
| do believe in ghosts and aliens and
| stuff. Right?
|
| {Clavat Man 1} :
|
| I dunno. But I do think that if
| something suddenly appears, then
| suddenly disappears...
| it's bound to appear again.
| But if there's no way to get to it,
| what does it matter?

Well, yes. We can do that.

<><> MISCELLANEOUS SCRIPT <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> [MSC] <>
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Okay, those scripts such as tutorials and others will go here. At first I'd like
to include them in the main Game Script, but then I think it is better to
seperate them so that the story plot or game progress could be enjoyed in more
focus.
For this moment, this section may not be completed yet, especially for the
Mercenaries' speech. Most of them are 'sold' at a 'high price', so it's quite
difficult to meet them, not to mention to recruit them. And for the Quest
speech, you must also complete them. These are somewhat like completing not only
100% of the game, but 120% of it... @_@ However, the tutorials should all have
been completed.
Anyway, happy reading!

I've been waiting, kupo!
[ A Moogle come ]
Sherlotta told me I had to teach you
about the Basics of Battle, kupo.
# So tell me. #
Very well. Then listen to me, kupo!
Take a look at the battle screen.
On the bottom left of the top screen
you can see your characters' HP and
MP.
HP stands for "Hit Points." When
these reach zero, that character
can't fight anymore, kupo.
MP stands for "Magic Points." You
need magic points to cast spells,
kupo.
Clear so far? Now, let's look at the
battle controls, kupo.
You attack with (A) and jump with
(B). Use (Y) to pick up items.
You can attack when you're in
mid-air, kupo.
Simple, kupo? Let's see what else
you can do.
You can press (Y) to pick up a
monster.
Then you can press (A) to attack
the monster you're holding.
Turn to face a wall or tree and
press (A) to slam the beastie against
it, kupo.
Monsters that get body-slammed like
that sometimes drop items. It's
cheaper than the shop, kupo!
If you climb on top of a monster, you
can attack it with (A).
For flying monsters, you can jump
into the air to grab them, and then
attack by pressing (A).
It's easy!
Now practice what you just learned
with the monsters here.

But the only people we have listed
are level one rookies. You'll have to
train them up yourself.
If it's expert adventurers you're
lookin' for, then hire a mercenary or

But good mercs are in demand, and
they can be really picky about pay
and conditions and stuff.
If recruitment is a hassle, you can
strike out on your own. It's your
adventure-you decide.
We can hook you up with as many new
traveling mates as you want...
but if your party gets too big you
won't be able to outfit everyone
properly.

balancin' resources.
If you do travel with allies, you can

[ Magic tutorials, by Larkeicus, at Library (1) ]
Larkeicus :
Do you know how to use magic?
If not, perhaps I can teach you. Vould
you like that?
# Yes, please! #
Very vell. Let us begin vith the
basics.
To use magic, you must have MP.
The amount of MP you need depends
on your tribe and the spell you vish
to cast.
If you do not have enough MP, then
you cannot cast the spell.
You can replenish MP by taking items
from the foes that you defeat.
this is just for practice, so you
have unlimited MP.
Now take a look at the lower screen.
On the right, you can see the magic
panels, ja? These show the magic you
can use.
You select a spell to cast by
touching the magic panel.
From top to bottom, the spells are
Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Cure, Raise,
and Clear.
Or, you can hold down (R) and press
< + > instead. This vay you don't have
to touch the screen.
By the vay, you can also hold down
(R) and press ^ + v to select an ally.
Once you have selected the spell,
press and hold (X) to make the target
ring appear.
Now hold it. Don't let go yet!
Vhile holding down (X), you move the
ring with +.
As you can see, the ring is the same
color as the spell you are going to
cast.
You have selected the Fire spell.
Vhen you have placed the ring on the
target, release (X) to cast the
spell.
If you vish to cast recovery spells on
yourself, simply move the ring so it
targets you.
Now, vith one ring you can only cast
one of these six spells.
But by combining magic, you can
unleash more powerful spells.
You can do this together with your
allies, or you can stack magic
yourself.
First, you must select a spell and
hold down (X) to summon the target
ring.
Then press (L) to fix the target
ring in place.
Now you can summon another target
ring and place it on the first.
In this vay, you vill be able to cast
even more powerful magic.
This is called stacking magic.
Different combinations and numbers
of rings produce different kinds of
spells.
Experiment and see yourself.
If you have fixed a target ring vith
(L), you can press (L) again to cast
the spell.
A successful adventurer knows how to
make the most of magic!
...
Vell, you are an apt pupil.
I think your efforts deserve a
reward, ja?
Here!
[ He throws three magic orbs ]
These are vhat we call orbs. Ve use
them to raise our magic levels.
You can find more vhen you defeat
monsters or open treasure chests. Be
sure to collect them all!
Remember, vhat matters are the
results! Now, good luck.
# Magic's easy. No thanks! #
It seems that I can count on you.
I vill await you here. Come back vhen
you have found the Buffasaur horn.

[ Equipment tutorials, by Female Lilty at Town (5) ]
{Female Lilty} :
All right then, listen carefully.
Every piece of equipment has a
"level". The more you use something,
the higher its level becomes.
But all regular equipment has a
maximum level.
No matter how much you like a
certain sword or helmet or whatever,
once you've maxed it out...
you're better off upgrading to
something new.
Unless, of course, you customize it.
Certain special jewels let you
increase the maximum level of
equipment.
Which means you can keep using it
long after its expiration date.
On the other hand, if you DO want to
upgrade to new equipment, you can
use the old stuff to generate jewels.
The higher the level of the
equipment, the more jewels you'll be
able to create.
Of course, you have to dismantle your
old favourites, but you can't get
something for nothing.
It's up to you whether you want to
buy new equipment or keep honing
your old gear.
That's about all there is to tell.
Feels good to get that off my chest!
Let me know if you want me to
explain it to you again.
* What is it? Do you want me to
explain it to you again?
# No thanks, I know already. #
Fine. Let me know if you change your
mind.

Now, you look like a fine and mighty
young adventurer.
I, the greatest chef in the world,
have a request. Yes, for you.
Whatever the ingredients, I can turn
them into something mouth-wateringly
scrumptious.
How? Because I am the greatest, of
course!
However, there is one kind of
ingredient that I have yet to use in a
dish.
What is that, you ask? Why,
monsters, of course. Monsters!
My new culinary mission is to craft
monstrously good meal from meaty
morsels of monster! Mmm-MMM!
Of course, I cannot risk injury to
myself outside the town.
Although I put in a request at the
guild, the results have been most
unsatisfying.
So, my young friend. Will you help
me?
I want mus from the forst. But you
must defeat them using only Fire
spells.
You cannot use weapons or other
kinds of magic.

little mus just as they are. Sounds

Hmm... A little bonus here, especially for the veterans, those who play the
second and next gameplays, or those who just want to get pass quickly...
I'll give mandatory places or events need to be visited or obtained in order to
progress in the game, and only the mandatory ones. This is just some recaps from
what I've recorded in the main part of the guide, but in the form of locations
or events and some brief explanations. Note that the reference numbers are in
concordance with the ones in the main guide. Remember, this is only a SPEED
walkthrough, if you need detail info on passing the rooms/chambers in a certain
locations or dungeons, solving puzzles, etc. well...look somewhere else, please!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
It's a loooot of time that has been spent in making this guide, phew... Some of
the speeches are awesome, either in term of style or the meaning itself, and I
wouldn't just waste my whole effort in making this guide, so I will pick some
of them and place it here. :P It's nothing, I just love these quotes hehe...
They can either be funny, unique, silly, or... awesomely inspiring... yeah...
That...is...so...AWESOME!

When's dinner?
- Ullz, Village (4)
Vhat matters, are the results.
- Larkeicus, Library (6)
Cause and effect. If the correct prerequisites are in place...
then the event they are destined to trigger vill occur.
- Larkeicus, Library (6)
Awesomely... boring.

Treat your time alive as if it's the only chance you'll ever get...

THAT was a good life!"
