Alphinaud 	Riqi-Tio has duly delivered her grapes, as have I.
 	
Alisaie 	After chatting with Arkil and Eirwel here, we came to an agreement─but I'll let them explain their request themselves.
 	
Ryne 	Riqi-Tio was beaming with pride when she returned.
 	
Ryne 	It may only have been a simple task, but she won't soon forget this achievement.
 	
Riqitio 	Thanks for helping with the grapes, Warrior of Darkness. In return, I promise to brew you a potion one day!
 	
Arkil 	Riqi didn't make you drink one of her grass potions, did she?
 	
Eirwel 	Warrior of Darkness! If you've finished helping Riqi, won't you show us some fighting? Not play fighting, but honest-to-gods fighting?
Eirwel 	We already have some enemies that you can deal with: vampire bats! The guards say they've become a pest around the Crystarium of late.
Eirwel 	We tried to sneak outside to hunt them, but the guards caught us and sent us home... But they shouldn't mind if you were doing the fighting and we were just watching!
Alisaie 	The children told us as much while you were away. And in preparation, Chessamile kindly furnished us with some lures for the bats.
Alisaie 	While the creatures won't give you any sport, bear in mind that the younglings will be watching. That's to say: put on a good show, yes?
Alisaie 	Right, let's head outside at once. Everyone, follow me!
Ryne 	A-Alisaie, wait just a─ <sigh> Come on, then, children.
 	
Alphinaud 	I shall remain here with Riqi-Tio. The other children, I leave in your care─my unruly sister included.
 	
Riqitio 	What? Everyone's going outside to see you fight? <whimper> I want to watch too...
Riqitio 	But...no! I have to study! I'll stay here and help Chessamile make the syrup!
 	
Chessamile 	Be careful out there, yes? But if you can't be careful, you can always come back here.
 	
Ryne 	It should be safe enough for the children here.
 	
Arkil 	We've heard the tales, but at last we can see you fight with our own eyes!
 	
Eirwel 	We've been waiting for you, Warrior of Darkness!
 	
Alisaie 	Everyone's here. Good. Let's get started, shall we?
Alisaie 	As their name suggests, vampire bats feed on blood. And originally being nocturnal creatures, they've grown more active with the return of night and become a nuisance.
Alisaie 	To draw them out, we'll use Chessamile's lures, which work by exploiting their heat-seeking behavior.
Alisaie 	The bats are wont to nest under the eaves, so you are like to attract more if you place the lures near buildings.
Alisaie 	I have here six lures─three each for you and me. As proof of a successful kill, I want you to gather up their fangs. Whoever collects the most is the winner!
Eirwel 	Oh? You're hunting too?
Alisaie 	Y-Yes, well, there's nothing like friendly competition to bring out the best in [Player Name]!
Alisaie 	Anyway! While we hunt the bats, the two of you are to stay with Ryne. She's really strong too, and will keep you safe.
Alisaie 	Without further ado, then, let the contest begin!
 	
Ryne 	Don't mind us. We'll be watching from a safe distance.
 	
Arkil 	I won't blink! Not even once!
 	
Eirwel 	So the bats nest under the eaves... It's important to know your enemy!
 	
Arkil 	Wow! That was amazing!
 	
Eirwel 	The bats didn't stand a chance!
 	
Ryne 	Well fought, [Player Name]! The children were hanging on your every move!
Ryne 	...As was I, to be honest. Though I know the tally, may I see your fangs for good measure?
Alisaie 	Apologies for the wait.
Alisaie 	My fangs. Not a bad haul, even if I do say so myself.
Ryne 	...Five, six, seven. Seven fangs from Alisaie.
Ryne 	...Which means that victory goes to [Player Name], who collected onetwothreefourfivesixseveneightnineten/IntegerParameter(1)/IntegerParameter(1)!
Alisaie 	Bah, seems you found the better spots for the lures.
Alisaie 	I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed, but you're still within reach. I'll get the better of you next time!
Ryne 	...Which means that we have a draw! [Player Name] also collected seven fangs!
Alisaie 	Argh, why does this feel even worse than losing? Just another measly fang and victory would have been mine!
Alisaie 	Don't look so surprised! I've no intention of remaining lost in your wake forever, you know!
Ryne 	...Which means that victory goes to Alisaie! [Player Name] collected onetwothreefourfivesixseveneightnineten/IntegerParameter(1)/IntegerParameter(1)!
Alisaie 	Hah, I did it! I bested [Player Name]...
Alisaie 	...In another godsdamned life! You didn't even try, did you!?
Alisaie 	<sigh> And there I was taking it seriously... Spare me your pity next time, will you?
Alisaie 	...So, children─you've now seen the Warrior of Darkness in action. What are your impressions?
Eirwel 	She/He's incredible, miss! The bats were down before they knew it!
Eirwel 	Our guards are strong, but the Warrior of Darkness is much, much stronger! We want to be just like her/him!
Alisaie 	Good. If you're looking for an example to emulate, you may as well pick the best.
Alisaie 	I want you to remember how you felt when you watched [Player Name], and train hard. Keep at it for long enough and you'll be strong too.
Ryne 	If you don't mind telling us, when did you decide that you wanted to become Warriors of Light?
Eirwel 	Well, we were there listening with everyone when Ardbert appeared, but I've wanted to be strong since before I came to the Crystarium.
Eirwel 	The sin eaters killed my father and my sister, see, and I promised myself I'd learn how to protect people one day.
Eirwel 	Like Ardbert said, this is our home. We're the ones who have to protect it. We're the ones who have to rise up as new Warriors of Light!
Ryne 	What about you, Arkil?
Arkil 	M-Me? To be honest, I'm still not sure what I want to do.
Arkil 	But if my friends were in trouble, I know that I would want to help them.
Arkil 	And...I want to go on adventures with them. See the world together.
Ryne 	That's a wonderful goal.
Arkil 	You...really think so?
Arkil 	It's hard to explain...but it's something I felt when I saw the starshower the other day.
Arkil 	I felt as though...there was something I'd lost, and that I had to go out there and find it.
Alisaie 	Well, for the both of you, there's nothing for it but to train. When we return to the city, I'll teach you some exercises you can do by yourselves.
Arkil 	Thanks for showing us your fighting skills, Warrior of Darkness! We'll never forget it!
Alisaie 	I understand how Arkil feels.
Alisaie 	The starshower didn't awaken me to Hydaelyn's voice. But that vision of the Final Days, of Amaurot burning...
Alisaie 	It filled me with sadness to the very pit of my being.
Alisaie 	Things I once knew, people I once loved, promises I once made... It felt as though long-forgotten memories were dancing at the edges of my mind. But when I try to focus on them, they simply fade away.
Alisaie 	An effect of having a fractured soul, I shouldn't doubt. But lest you worry, I'm perfectly happy to remain fractured and have no intention of donning an Ascian mask.
Alisaie 	<sigh> I just wish we knew what Elidibus was plotting...
Alisaie 	Hah, but look at this pair of incurable brooders... If we're going to stand around, lost in thought, we may as well do it back in the city.
Alisaie 	Rest assured, Ryne and I will take the children from here. Their heads will be in the clouds after meeting you, but we'll see to it their feet remain firmly planted on the ground.
Alisaie 	...!
Alisaie 	It's nothing. Just a dizzy spell. Seems I tried a little too hard to beat you.
Alisaie 	I'm fine now, not to worry. I'll see you soon.
 	
Ryne 	I'm so glad I found both you and the Exarch.
 	
Mysteryvoice 	The fates seem determined not to allow us a quiet moment. But come, let us have the details from Ryne.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
