-- A voice suddenly sounds deep in your mind.

???: Answer me this.

???: Who are you?

-- You can’t tell where the voice is coming from.

???: Answer the question.

???: O chosen bearer of the Oracle Ring…

???: … you are as a newborn yet unaware of his destiny.

???: The voiceless question shall open the door of wisdom.

-- What could this mean?

--The voiceless question?

-- The door of wisdom?

???: Mya-ha-ha…

???: What’s wrong, cat got your tongue?

-- That voice! Could it be…!

Wiz: The town of Ayvias is a veritable maze. I told you to stay close.

-- You apologize to Wiz as you rush to her side.

-- You come to the Lakeside City via the Forest City of Rallydon.

-- The lake’s so vast, it’s far shore is barely visible.

-- Magnificently dressed passers-by seem full of joy.

-- There are also so many aristocrats with their attendants in tow.

Wiz: Stop gawking. A ring bearer must be confident and proud.

-- You tell her that it’s only by chance you bear a ring.

Wiz: Mya-ha-ha. There’s a fine line between chance and destiny.

-- Suddenly, a number of guardsmen come rushing past you.

--……….

Wiz: Something’s happened. Let’s go have a look.

-- You and Wiz go racing after the hurried guardsmen.

???: Who the blazes are you and what do ya want with me!?

Deep-Voiced Guardsman: A common criminal by the looks of ‘im! And a bit of joker, too!

???: A joker!? I’m nothing if not serous--

Young Guardsman: Keep quiet if you know what’s good for you, sir.

???: Is that some sort of threat!?

-- You take a good look at the man.

-- That’s when you realize it’s Baron.

Baron: Hey, get your filthy paws off me! I’m on vacation!

Young Guardsman: Save it for back at the guard post. Now come along quietly.

-- Baron notices you’re there.

Baron: Isn’t this a coincidence? Tell ‘em this is all a big mistake!

Deep-Voiced Guardsman: He a friend o’ yours?

-- Cowed by the guardsman’s threatening voice…

-- …you say you’ve never seen him before.

Baron: What do you mean, you’ve never seen me before!

Young Guardsman: He’s hiding something. We’d best inform the Royal Knights, too.

-- You quickly explain that Baron is master of the Wizard’s Guild.

-- The guardsman finally relent when Baron shows his rank emblem.

Deep-Voiced Guardsman: Why didn’t ya just show that in the first place?

Young Guardsman: Please excuse us, Guildmaster. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

-- The guardsman leave you be.

Baron: That was quite a close shave. You weren’t much help, either.

Wiz: ……….

-- Wiz tries hard not to laugh at seeing Baron like this.

Baron: That cat with you? Well, I’m not looking for company, so…

-- You ask Baron what he’s doing in Ayvias.

Baron: A long deserved vacation. Been 30 years since my last one.

Baron: … But I do have some business back in Torulika tomorrow.

Baron: From what I hear, you’re shaping up to be a fine wizard.

Baron: You here for some training?

-- You tell him that about sums it up.

Baron: A resort training session, eh? Now that’s unique.

Baron: Hard work is well and good, but don’t forget to have some fun.

-- You tell him to enjoy himself, too.

Baron: Well, may we meet again!

-- Baron strolls off in a jaunty mood.

Wiz: Whew! That was torture, stifling my laughter like that.

Wiz: Doesn’t seem like he knows about your ring.

-- You wonder whether he knows what happened in Rallydon.

Wiz: It’s a bit out of the way, but we should stop by the guild.

Wiz: We’ll talk more there.

-- You finally reach the guild through a maze of streets.

-- …

-- Guards are keeping a close watch at the entryway.

???: Welcome to the Wizard’s Guild of Ayvias. What can I do for you?

-- Wiz nonchalantly strolls over to the guildmaster.

Wiz: …It’s me. Might we talk in private?

???: Ah!

-- At the guildmaster’s signal, the guards head outside.

???: Long time, no see, Wiz. Rumor was you’d gone missing.

???: What a cute, cuddly form you’ve found there.

Wiz: Mya-ha-ha, it’s a long story. But I take it you’re surprised?

???: Quite the opposite. After all, anything’s possible with you.

???: And who do we have here?

-- You introduce yourself to the guildmaster.

Rusche: I’m Rusche. Please to me you.

-- You notice a thick, long tail trailing behind him.

Rusche: Never seen a Dragunia before?

-- You tell him no, but that you have seen a talking cat.

Wiz: Mya-ha-ha, very funny.

Wiz: I know Rusche from back at the capital. He’s well connected.

Rusche: How kind of you to say. So, what sort of trouble are you in now?

Wiz: … Mya-ha-ha. I appreciate you getting right to the point.

-- You tell Rusche about what happened in Rallydon.

-- The HQ wizard, the hooded man, the forest sanctum, the Oracle Ring…

Rusche: …What an adventure. So, you must be a ring bearer.

Wiz: How are things at HQ?

Rusche: As peaceful as the still waters of Lake Ayvias.

Wiz: And Anastasia?

Rusche: The Minstery’s been quiet, too. The Four Sages aren’t all…

Rusche: …accounted for, and you’ve been absent from the council.

Wiz: Aw, you sure know how to bring a cat down.

Wiz: If Anastasia has gotten serious about recovering the rings…

Rusche: I can’t remain a neutral party in all this, can I?

-- Rusche seems to know exactly what you’re thinking.

Rusche: No, I’m not a ring bearer. Like, Loretta, I’m but their keeper.

Rusche: About the wizard who came to Rallydon to recover the rings…

Rusche: Did he clearly state that he was from HQ?

-- You nod that he did.

Rusche: That’s a bit disturbing. Why the kid gloves, I wonder?

Wiz: Couldn’t you dig a bit deeper?

Rusche: I’ll do everything I can, being that it’s you asking.

Rusche: But you must bide you time, it may take a while.

Rusche: Take on some jobs while you wait. I’ll arrange lodging for you here.

Wiz: Thanks. Ayvias can be a costly place in more ways than one.

Rusche: Didn’t expect to hear that from one of the Four Sages.

Wiz: Mya-ha-ha, well, I’m just one ordinary cat now.

-- You thank Rusche for his help and generosity.

Rusche: Don’t mention it. Besides, I need you as much as you need me.

--You've completed a quest. Go report to the Wizard's Guild.

-- Two guards are standing at attention in front of the guild.

-- It's clearly different from the guilds in Torulika and Wilitona.

-- You bow to the guards, but still they bar the guild's entrance.

-- You're reading jobs posted by other wizards when...

Rusche: We appreciate the help.

-- You ask about the two guards as you fill in the report forms.

Rusche: We must remain vigilant with people from other lands about.

-- It's quite a chore to fill in all the different report forms.

-- The tone of Rusche's voice suddenly lowers.

Rusche: ...I've been placed under house arrest.

-- Startled, you stop writing midsentence.

Wiz: ..........

-- Looking back, you see the two guards are coming inside.

-- You hand the forms to Rusche.

Rusche: Would you mind revising this part here?

-- In one corner, you see the words <Tonight, lake shore.>

-- You circle the words and hand the forms back before you leave.


(after completing Stage 4-4: Shadows on the Riverside)

-- You've been searching the lake's shore with Rusche, but...

Rusche: Woo-hoo!

-- He keeps you up all night. Dawn finds you in the Market Quarter.

-- Rusche gnaws on a grilled fish he bought by the roadside.

Rusche: I love the morning market. So vibrant. So much to eat.

-- And eat he does! So much so, you lose track of it all.

-- Rubbing your weary eyes, you see guardsman approaching.

-- It doesn't look like a courtesy call.

Rusche: ... Seems we've lingered too long.

-- A guardsman points his sword at you.

Guard: Do you realize whose presence you're in?

Rusche: Leave my friend alone. It is I who asked him to accompany me.

Guard: As you wish...

-- The guard immediately steps back.

Guard: Your Highness, why must you socialize below your standing?

-- ... You wonder what the guard meant by <Your Highness.>

Rusche: Very well, I'll return shortly. Now go.

-- The guardsman fall back in line and go marching off.

Wiz: I saw this coming, but... Here for a bit of fun?

Rusche: I was just thinking about our time together, Wiz.

Rusche: You were my one and only friend. That's why... why...

-- ...

Wiz: Rusche, you're the son of the House of Wadatsumi, rulers Ayvias.

Rusche: I renounced my title. I'm now master of the Wizard's Guild.

Wiz: And your father accepted you decision?

Rusche: If only another worthy heir would be born to our family.

-- The drama unfolding before your eyes has left you speechless.

-- Why would such a person wish to be master of the Wizard's Guild.

Rusche: What use is political power? Is this not the age of magic?

-- You don't know what to say.

Rusche: Forgive my deception, but long it's been since I had such fun.

Rusche: I can see now how skilled you are in the magic arts.

Rusche: HQ will release the results soon. Stop by the guild again.

-- Rusche looks gallant walking off with his tail waving.

-- Even from behind, he looks like he was born to rule this land.

-- Arriving at the guild, you see Rusche with a well-to-do woman.

Woman: Nothing comes to mind.

Rusche: Nothing isn't a lot to go on.

Woman: I only just hired the two of them, and they worked so hard.

Woman: They've been like family to us. I just don't understand.

-- You ask what's going on.

Rusche: Two of her servants vanished. She wants us to find them.

Woman: I asked the town guard to investigate, but they said no.

Rusche: Well, they seek to do the least work for the most pay.

Woman: The Wizard's Guild is my last hope. Please don't turn me away.

-- Rusche frowns.

Rusche: We'll post the job, but there might not be any wizards who accept...

Woman: Thank you. I shall hope for the best.

-- The woman bows her head and walks off with a feeble stride.

-- Rusche looks down at the job listing.

Rusche: Shion and Lianna, brother and sister, came to Ayvias 10 days ago.

Rusche: They vanished three days ago. Oh, and they're both Gairnikans.

Wiz: Sounds to me like--

Rusche: They most likely fled, didn't they?

Rusche: You're just looking for trouble when you hire Gairnikans.

-- Rusche looks like he wants to say something to you.

-- You tell him you wouldn't mind taking on the job.

Rusche: If you find the Gairnikan siblings, bring them back here.

-- Rusche hands you the listing. Now it's up to you to find them.


(before 8-4 boss battle)

-- Following a clue, you find a shrine on the far shore.

Wiz: I seriously doubt they'd be around here.

-- You would tend to agree, but you don't have any other leads.

-- Nothing seems out of the ordinary and the water is calm.

Wiz: We're letting a find day waste away. How about a swim?

-- You tell Wiz that it must be nice to live so fancy free.

Wiz: That's just what cats were born to do, mya-ha-ha.

-- Wiz trots happily to the water's edge when suddenly...


(after completing 8-4: The People of Gairnika)

-- You narrowly defeat the Aquadrake that suddenly surfaced.

-- The massive beast lays unmoving by the waterside.

Wiz: That dragon...

Wiz: ...No, that's impossible.

???: ...uwww...

Wiz: Hm? Did that dragon just say something?

???: ...Ouwww...

-- Both you and Wiz turn to look at the Aquadrake.

-- The very next instant...

???: Uuuh...

-- Where the dragon once laid, there's a foreign-looking girl.

Girl: ...Brother...

-- The girl proceeds to pass out and collapse to the ground.

Wiz: Look at the color of her skin. She must be from Gairnika.

-- So then... is this Lianna?

Wiz: She's bleeding badly. We better take her to Rusche at once.

-- You carry her back to town with the aid of an invoked spirit.

-- Laying down the girl you think might be Lianna, Rusche says...

Rusche: Why? Why would the Wadatsumi's <true name.>

-- You ask Rusche what he means by true name.

-- You've never heard of that term before.

Rusche: When we invoke spirits, they answer from the world beyond.

Rusche: That is the required ritual for them to take shape in our world.

Rusche: They only materialize with the correct answer--their true name.

Rusche: It is the same with us. All things have a true name.

Rusche: But if an Aquadrake truly appeared, then...

-- Then what?

Rusche: Aquadrake is the ancient true name of House Wadatsumi.

Rusche: No one else should bear that name, least of all a Gairnikan.

Rusche: That could only mean--

Wiz: I doubt that. That she yet lives only proves it.

-- Rusche suddenly falls silent before speaking once more.

Rusche: Leave her in my care while I report back to the client.

Rusche: We still must seek her brother. Let me know what you find.

-- You return to the guild, hearing Lianna was awake and speaking.

-- When Lianna sees you, she tugs at her covers as if terrified.

Rusche: There's nothing to fear. He's the one who brought you here.

-- But Lianna won't stop trembling.

Rusche: It seems she remembers battling you as an Aquadrake.

-- Wiz sits quietly by the bed, staring at Lianna.

Lianna: Nice kitty...

-- Lianna timidly pets Wiz as she jumps on to her and curls up.

-- She gently strokes her back as a faint smile comes to her face.

Rusche: So, you don't recall how or why you changed into an Aquadrake?

-- Lianna gives a silent nod.

Lianna: When I came to my senses, I was in the lake's icy water.

Lianna: It was like a fever dream. I can remember you attacking me.

-- You tell her how happy you are to see that she's all right.

Lianna: ...Thank you.

-- Rusche comes over and whispers something in your ear.

Rusche: I've received a report from an HQ agent.

Rusche: Anastasia has entered this land.

-- You can't help but notice that Wiz's ears suddenly prick up.

Rusche: There are three Oracle rings we know of here in this land.

Rusche: One is in your possession. One is in Ayvias. And the last one...

-- You notice Rusche looking at Wiz's swishing tail.

-- You wonder what a cat feels as it swishes it tail about.

Rusche: ...Let's just say the location of the last one is unknown.

Rusche: The Ministry won't stay silent if Anastasia's a serious threat.

-- You continue listening in silence.

Rusche: I want you to find someone for me. Right away if possible.

Rusche: If worse comes to worst, I don't care if he's dead or alive.

Rusche: His name is Shion...Shion Medial.

Rusche: He's a Ministry wizard.

-- Shion...a name you've heard before.

Lianna: Excuse me.

-- You notice Lianna is now standing beside the bed.

Lianna: I...I know where my brother Shion is.

Lianna: Please, you must help him.

-- You and Rusche exchange glances.

Lianna: My brother...he's possessed by a delusion.

-- You ask her what she means by that.

Lianna: He believes in transmutation.

Wiz: Ah!

Rusche: Ah!

-- You ask what transmutation is.

Rusche: A forbidden art wherein you cast off your true name for another.

Rusche: With it, you can transform into anyone or anything.

-- You ask if that's how Lianna changed into an Aquadrake.

Rusche: ...But a discarded true name should be lost forever.

Rusche: Lianna, what are you and your brother up to?

Lianna: I only did what he asked. I know nothing more.

Lianna: I'm no user of magic. My brother on the other hand...

Lianna: I...I don't want to lose him.

Lianna: Please...please don't kill him, I'm begging you.

-- As Lianna weeps, Rusche places a hand on her shoulder.

Rusche: We'll do everything we can.

-- On this matter, both you and Rusche agree.

-- When Lianna calms a bit, she reveals Shion's whereabouts.


(before 11-4 boss battle)

--You arrive at a lakeside cottage.

-- According to Lianna, that's where you'll find her brother.

-- You spy a man by the lake and call to him from behind.

-- You call out the name Shion Medial.

-- The man turns toward you.

Shion: ...And you are?

-- You tell him about Lianna, and ask him to accompany you.

Shion: I see...

Shion: I'd feared that Lianna had met a watery grave.

Shion: I'm glad she's 'alright'

-- You ask him once more to return with you to the guild, but...

Shion: I don't take orders from lowly wizards like you.

-- Taking a card in hand, Shion starts casting a spell.

Shion: Lianna's a vessel... our hope. ...A treasure beyond your grasp.

Shion: And I will take her back.


(after completing 8-4: Confronting Shion)

-- His strength spent, Shion falls to his knees.

Shion: This can't be. How could I be defeated?

-- You, too, have expended the majority of your power.

-- Shion struggles to his feet and starts casting a spell, but...

Shion: Ack...

-- He falls once more, this time passing out completely.

-- Your energy's spent, you can't even invoke a spirit.

-- With the aid of a guardsman, you carry Shion back to the guild.

-- Shion didn't come to for some time after he was taken to the guild.

-- Lianna waited by him, never letting go of his hand.

-- She wouldn't leave his side or listen to you or Rusche.

-- Only when Wiz drew near would her expression soften.

-- Shion finally woke late one night.

Shion: Lianna...is that you?

Lianna: Brother!

-- Shion slowly sat up in bed.

Rusche: I see you've finally wakened. How do you feel?

Shion: Well, I really feel like bashing some wizards right now.

Rusche: Don't let us stop you. We've no wish to oppose you.

Shion: And those guards stationed outside the room?

Rusche: How very perceptive.

Rusche: Let's get on with this, I have two questions for you.

Shion: And if I refuse to answer?

Rusche: I already know you're a Ministry wizard.

Rusche: What are you after? The rings?

Shion: The Oracle Rings? Well, a man could get rich selling just one.

Rusche: Question two..You transmuted Lianna, didn't you?

Shion: Are asking me or telling me what you already know?

Rusche: ...How is it that Lianna yet lives?

Rusche: Transmutation consumes the body, leaving only ash in the end.

Shion: I repeat, are you asking me or telling me what you know?

Rusche: ..........

Shion: You've the tail of a Dragunia. House Wadatsumi, I presume?

Rusche: And if I were?

Shion: Heh...

Shion: Heh heh...

Shion: Ah ha ha ha ha ha!

Rusche: Did I say something funny? Or have you gone mad?

Shion: I couldn't help but laugh. Isn't that right Lian--

Shion: ...Lianna?

-- Lianna has left Shion's side and is now gazing at him fearfully.

Shion: Li...Lianna?

Lianna: What's happened to you, brother?

Lianna: You're...you're scaring me.

-- Shion slowly blinks, and the replies.

Shion: Now is not the time for fear!

Shion: Remember the Gairnikan precepts, the sorrow of our people!

Shion: Would you flee before those who have done us wrong!?

-- Lianna continues to shake her head.

-- Rusche falls silent as if he has realized something.

-- Ignoring Rusche's questions.

Rusche: ...You leave me no choice.

-- The guards who had been watching outside enter to arrest Shion.

-- Lianna stares vacantly from behind as he's taken away.

Rusche: Those who have done them wrong...


-- It was days later that Shion escaped his captors.

-- A nice breeze blows from the lake as you walk with Wiz.

Wiz: No one's been able to find Shion yet.

-- This despite the large search party that Rusche had formed.

Wiz: If he's after the rings, we must make our move before he does.

-- Taking Smaragd from your pocket, you hold it up to the moonlight.

-- At first glance, it looks like any ordinary ring.

Wiz: The Oracle Rings are the keys to the Door of True Wisdom.

Wiz: They open a different door to the world beyond than your cards do.

-- It is then that you ask Wiz where her Oracle Ring is.

Wiz: Truth be told...

Wiz: I don't know where it is.

Wiz: Mya-ha-ha.

-- You know that's not true, so you press her further.

Wiz: I...I left it behind.

-- You ask her where.

Wiz: Well...

Wiz: Before I forget, I found this great place to eat.

-- You can't hide your fustration with Wiz...

-- ...telling her life's at risk while she can't use magic.

Wiz: I appreciate your concern, but--

-- As you near the Wizard's Guild, you can't believe your eyes.

-- One of the sturdy door guards is bleeding on ground.

-- The guild itself had gone dark, and its windows are broken.

-- You race over to the fallen guard.

Guard: Y-you...

-- You ask him what happened.

Guard: Shion... He has...His Highness and...the Gairnikan girl.

Guard: ...He's taken them to Aquadrake...Shrine.

Guard: Please...you must save His Highness...Rusche...

-- With those final words, the guard passes from this world.

-- Wiz exits the guild after having a look inside.

Wiz: It's empty. No sign of Rusche or Lianna.

-- You tell Wiz what the guard said.

Wiz: Aquadrake Shrine... That's where we found Lianna.

-- Nodding to each other, you and Wiz spring into action.


-- At Aquadrake Shrine on the far shore of Ayvias...

-- You and Wiz find Rusche collapsed before the shrine.

Rusche: Oh, it's you two.

Wiz: What in the world happened!?

Rusche: I let my guard down. ...Never though it would come to this.

-- Rusche points toward the shrine.

-- The door is open, revealing a spiral stairway leading down.

Rusche: It leads to an underground temple.

Rusche: The ring and the true name of Wadatsumi...

Rusche: That door should've been closed to all but the House of Wadatsumi.

-- Rusche is covered in wounds.

Rusche: Shion took Lianna, too. Please, you must stop him.


(before 14-4 boss battle)

-- You've reached temple's deepest depths.

-- It's a massive chamber with glowing moss and blue crystals.

-- The two Gairnikans are at the central altar.

Shion: ...You again.

-- The ring glows on Shion's right hand.

Lianna: ..........

-- Lianna is gazing upward with a vacant stare and does not move.

-- You wonder what Shion is up to now.

Shion: Behold!

-- Shion raises his ring and begins casting a spell.

-- Blinding light spills forth from around the altar.

-- You notice a huge magic circle has been drawn around it.

Shion: This time it's not a test.

Shion: Feel the wrath of the Wadatsumi's true name within this ring.

-- You race toward the altar to stop Shion.

Shion: You're done meddling in my affairs, wizard!


(after completing 14-4: To the Lowest Level)

-- After a long, fierce battle, you defeat Shion's invoked spirits.

-- But Shion remains defiant.

Shion: ...I concede defeat, wizard.

-- The magic circle enveloping the altar grows even brighter.

-- Looking up, you see the light has lit an expansive space.

Shion: But I'm afraid your efforts were little too late.

-- With that, Shion holds his ring up high.

Shion: Heed my call, O dweller in the Oracle Ring Sapphirus.

Shion: Your vessel is here.

Shion: And your name is--

-- Before Shion says the name, the circle and all around it go dark.

Shion: What's the meaning of this!

-- Your eyes finally adjust to the darkness.

Lianna: B-Brother?

-- The light returns to her eyes, and at her feet is Wiz.

Wiz: ...

Lianna: Enough. What good could ever come of this?

Shion: We made a vow together. There's no turning back now.

Lianna: I'll keep my vow. But what you're doing is wrong.

Lianna: Do not corrupt your body and soul with petty vengeance.

Shion: Petty? Petty, you say?

-- Shion turns his eyes up in pain.

Shion: We've lost everything, our home, our family, our past and future.

Shion: And you call such sorrow petty? You are dead to me now, Lianna.

-- Shion once more holds the ring up high.

-- The magic circle light again with a blinding glare.

Lianna: No, brother, don't!

Lianna: You're not a vessel!

-- Shion completes his spell before you and Wiz can stop him.

-- The surrounding light gathers to Shion in great whirling torrent.

-- When the light finally subsides, you can't believe your eyes.

???: ...

Lianna: B-Brother?

Shion: So this...

Shion: This is the power of the Wadatsumi.

Shion: How...how magnificent!

-- The Aquadrake slams into the wall. Water starts trickling in.

-- But before long, the trickle becomes a torrent.

Lianna: Oh, no!

Wiz: Yikes.

-- The whole place looks like it's about to collapse!

-- You grab Lianna's hand and run with all your might.

-- Tragedy struck 13 years ago in the magic academy town of Sciorn.

-- Many wizards vanished when a secret experiment went wrong.

-- The Wizard's Guild said it was the result of a forbidden spell.

-- All involved were arrested and purged from the guild.

-- And behind the purge was one of the Four Sages of that time...

Rusche: ...My grandfather.

-- You return to the Wizard's Guild after escaping from the temple.

Lianna: Our father said he had nothing to do with the experiment.

Lianna: We were so young. All we recall is Father was suddenly gone.

Lianna: That and our mother sobbing each and every night.

Rusche: This is mere hearsay...

Rusche: ...but it was supposedly an epic battle between mighty wizards.

Lianna: Soon we lost Mother, too, but we survived by sticking together.

Lianna: ...And by harboring a grudge against the Wizard's Guild.

-- You ask her if she still feels that way.

-- Linanna shakes her head no.

Lianna: I can't use magic. I tried many times harder than Shion...

-- ...but I didn't hear a single voice from the world beyond.

Lianna: I believe it's my own body that rejects the power of magic.

Lianna: That was when I despaired, for magic was to be our vengeance.

Lianna: But seeing Shion studying in earnest, I couldn't tell him.

Rusche: He's mastered the ring...

Rusche: ...the Oracle Ring Sapphirus, hasn't he?

Lianna: To use the House of Wadatsumi's own power to crush all linked to them...

Lianna: That would be Shion's revenge.

Lianna: ...Forgive me for not telling you this sooner.

-- Shion had looked just like Rusche after transmuting.

-- You ask whether that is the power of the Wadatsumi.

Rusche: It's a transitory form before the true name enters a vessel.

Rusche: If he were to achieve the true form...

-- All of Ayvias would be in danger.

Rusche: You must stop Shion, I'm begging you.

Rusche: You're my last hope, for only a ring bearer could stop him.

Lianna: ...

Wiz: ...

-- Nodding your assent, your hand goes for Smaragd in your pocket.


(before 15-4 boss battle)

-- Braving the other Aquadrakes Shion invoked

-- ...you and Wiz once again reach the lowest level.

Shion: Did you really think you would get out of this alive?

Shion: These deepest depths shall be your final resting place.

-- Lake water starts pouring forth from the cracked walls.

-- The temple is collapsing faster that you'd expected.

-- It suddenly dawns on you that Shion will drown just like you.

Shion: I am not a vessel, after all.

Shion: I'd rather save my body so I can enjoy my revenge a bit longer.

-- That's when you realize his transmutation isn't yet complete.

-- Taking a card in hand, you start casting a spell.

Shion: This marks our third battle. Isn't it getting rather old?

-- Shion, too, starts casting a spell.

Shion: The time is ripe.

Shion: The end of your life shall be the beginning of my revenge!


(after completing 15-4: Time of Judgment)

-- You barely have the strength to stand after the battle.

-- Aquadrake, the true name of the House of Wadatsumi and immense...

-- ...beast from the ring Sapphirus lies sprawled on the ground.

Shion: I...I don't understand.

Shion: Sapphirus...

Shion: This...cannot...be.

-- Shion's body begins to rapidly deteriorate.

-- It's the collapse of the vessel, you think to yourself.

-- You can't remember ever being so tired.

-- You sink to the floor as the lake comes gushing in.

-- Its icy water steals away your body's heat.

-- ..........

-- ......

-- ...

???: Ah!

-- You suddenly come to your senses.

-- You noticed the water is subsiding.

-- And you see a totally drenched Wiz eyeing you with concern.

-- There's no sign of the mighty Aquadrake.

-- And there at the altar where Shion had once stood is Lianna.

Lianna: Brother...

-- You call to her.

Lianna: Without Shion... I'm not truly alone.

Lianna: But this is what my dear brother would have wanted.

Lianna: ...

Wiz: ...

-- Wiz slowly snuggles up to Lianna.

-- She picks her up and turns to look back.

Lianna: The ring...Smaragd, if you please.

-- You can't believe your eyes.

-- Lianna produces a hidden knife and presses it to Wiz's neck.

-- You ask her what's going on.

Lianna: Did you not hear me?

Lianna: Are you not a ring bearer?

Lianna: Though I can't use magic, I can at least wield a knife.

-- Wiz's eye stay fixed on you. There's not a hint of fear.

-- You ask if she'd been planning this all along.

Lianna: Not in the least.

Lianna: This only happened because Shion was so bent on vengeance.

Lianna: I even gave him one last chance after freeing him from prison.

Lianna: Recovering the Oracle Rings... That is our true mission.

Lianna: Fool for a brother... He had an easy prize right before his eyes.

Lianna: Now, the ring if you please.

-- You stall while trying to think of something to do.

Lianna: Nothing against cats. I like how they think we're their equals.

Lianna: Don't make me spill needless blood.

-- You tightly grasp the ring in your pocket.

-- You try to think of something.

Lianna: I'm going to count to three.

-- You don't know what to do.

Lianna: 1...2...

-- You have to do something!

Lianna: ...You leave me no choice.

Lianna: I'll just have to bear with Sapphirus then.

-- Lianna raises the knife to strike.

-- You desperately try to think of something to do.

-- Your energy is spent and your body exhausted. What's left?

-- Negotiate! But using what?

-- The knife slowly lowers toward Wiz.

-- Think!

-- Think! Think!

-- Think! Think! Think!

-- ..........

-- ......

-- ...

-- Mya-ha-ha.

-- Wiz's silly laugh sounds in the back of your mind.

-- You finally admit defeat.

-- You toss the Oracle Ring Smaragd onto the ground.

Lianna: At least you know when you're beaten.

Lianna: Now, step away from the ring. And no false moves.

-- You move away as ordered.

-- Lianna walks slowly up to the ring.

Lianna: A promise is a promise.

-- As she takes the ring, she hurls Wiz behind her and runs off.

-- You try to chase after her, but you have no strength left.

-- Wiz come running up to you.

Wiz: What's wrong with you!

-- Wiz bites your leg.

Wiz: That ring was more important than all my nine lives!

Wiz: Why'd you have to do that!

Wiz: It's...

Wiz: It's...

Wiz: It's all my fault! There's not much I can do looking like this.

Wiz: I'm nothing but a burden on you.

-- Wiz trudges slowly toward the way out.

-- You run up and take her in your arms.

Wiz: Mya-ha?

-- You bury your face in her wet fur and start to speak.

-- But all you can produce are incoherent sobs.

-- That night...

-- Back at the guild, you and Wiz turn in without filing a report.

-- Deep in your dreams, Wiz's heartbeat is like a lullaby.

-- The next morning...

Rusche: How could I be so wrong? Lianna was the bigger threat all along.

Rusche: The town guard is looking into her current whereabouts.

Wiz: If the Ministry's involved, she's long gone by now.

Rusche: I can truly say I hate myself right now.

Rusche: My true name and my Oracle Ring are both lost. I'm useless.

-- You ask where Lianna could have gone.

Rusche: I heard Anastasia had entered Sciorn. She's the only one...

Rusche: ...among the Four Sages who knows what happened 13 years ago.

Rusche: And Lianna is from Sciorn. I know that much is true.

Wiz: What is it that Anastasia did 13 years ago?

Rusche: Never heard that she was involved in the purge at least.

Wiz: But the battle was so fierce, Rusche's grandfather was killed.

-- You add that Rusche's grandfather was the strongest of the sages.

Rusche: I'll...

Rusche: I'll be powerless to help once you've left Ayvias.

Rusche: It shames me to remain here, but I've no choice.

Rusche: Don't get yourself killed.


-- Soon after you leave the Wizard's Guild...

-- Wiz seems embarrassed as she thanks you.

Wiz: Thanks for all your help.

Wiz: But truth be told, there's still so much I wish to do.

Wiz: It's about time I figure out how to restore my previous form.

-- You ask Wiz if she'd mind explaining what happened.

Wiz: Ask away.

-- So, you ask her how she'd turned, or rather, been turned into a cat.

-- Was it transmutation.

Wiz: Mya-ha-ha.

Wiz: What an active imagination you have.

Wiz: I've been a cat for some time now, but I'm doing quite well.

Wiz: Still, it's not as if I wanted to be--

Wiz: ........

Wiz: Err...

-- You mention what Lianna said about a vessel's will.

-- And as you ask about her turning into a cat, she cuts you off.

Wiz: You think me despondent at becoming a cat?

Wiz: Well, you're wrong. I rather like being a fancy-free feline.

-- You start walking ahead.

-- You're off to Sciorn.

-- There, perhaps, all questions will be answered.
