A Fresh Start

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* You left for Nabaath Areng with a girl named Minfilia, and return with one named Ryne, whom your fellow Scions welcome with open arms. Still more hearteningly, she is eager to put her newfound abilities to good use, revealing that she senses the presence of a Lightwarden to the west. This coincides with Y'shtola's own suspicions after surveying a site known as Malikah's Well. Seemingly, the extensive underground waterway represents a suitable place to hide, and so that is where you will begin your search.
* After a short trek westward, you arrive at the edge of a cavernous maw─the entrance to Malikah's Well. You quickly confer with the other Scions, before steeling yourself to step into the unknown.
※Speak with your companion NPCs outside the instance entrance if you wish to enlist them for this duty.
※Use the Duty Finder if you wish to complete the instance alongside fellow players.
* You wend your way through the underground corridors of the well, its denizens impeding your every step, until you come face-to-face with the Lightwarden. Ignoring the protestations of your already aching limbs, you hurl yourself into battle once more and, after a drawn-out struggle, the beast is laid low.
* To your relief, the path leading out of the well is blessedly empty, and soon you emerge beneath a spectacular night sky. The sight of it leaves your fellow Scions in awe, Alisaie seeming especially affected by the view.
* With each hard-fought victory, the Light's grip over Norvrandt loosens, Kholusia now serving as its final foothold. Could the salvation of the First at last be within reach? It is a stirring thought, and one likely large in the minds of your comrades as you make ready to return to the Crystal Tower.
==Objectives==
* Survey the designated location.
* Use the Duty Finder or Trust to enter Malikah's Well.
* Speak with Alisaie.

Alphinaud 	Minfilia will be sorely missed. Though it was Grandfather's legacy which first brought me to Eorzea, I would never have become a Scion were it not for her. Indeed, there would be no Scions, and two worlds would be the worse for our absence.
Alphinaud 	Tataru and the others will no doubt be heartbroken to hear the news of her passing. Until such time as we can return to them, however, we must keep our heads held high. Though we have lost one Scion, we have gained another, after all.
 	
Alisaie 	Do you have any idea how worried we were when word reached us that Ran'jit was alive, and headed for the Hills of Amber?
Alisaie 	Oh, I can't wait for this to be over, so we can all go home. Assuming we even can.
 	
Thancred 	Thank you for standing by Ryne. And Minfilia. I'm sure it meant a lot to her, seeing you one last time.
Thancred 	Would that I could have been there to hear what words were exchanged between them. When all of this is over, perhaps I'll ask.
 	
Urianger 	Despite this glad turn of events, the suffering born of mine all-too-arrogant meddling paineth me still.
Urianger 	And yet...their smiles do give me hope for the morrow.
 	
Yshtola 	Ryne's aether has changed. It has taken on a faint, golden hue. Curious...
 	
Ryne 	I honestly don't know how to repay you for all you've done, but I promise to do whatever I can to help.
Alisaie 	Are you certain you're up to fighting so soon? I can't imagine the power of the Oracle is something one learns to wield in the space of a few hours.
Ryne 	Maybe not, but the presence of the Lightwardens is unmistakable to me now.
Ryne 	In fact, I sense one here in Amh Araeng, to the west. I think it might be hiding underground.
Alphinaud 	Underground? Then it's as we suspected!
Yshtola 	We thought it prudent to take a brief survey of the area prior to your arrival.
Yshtola 	To the west we found the remains of a site known as Malikah's Well.
Yshtola 	If I recall correctly, the well was built in remembrance of one of the ancient kings of Nabaath Areng to serve as a source of respite from the desert heat.
Yshtola 	It fell into disuse after the Flood, whereupon the miners of Amh Araeng thought to turn part of it into an excavation site.
Alphinaud 	Judging by its size, the underground waterways are no doubt extensive. The perfect hiding place for a Warden.
Alphinaud 	Ryne, are you certain you can track it down?
Ryne 	Leave it to me.
Thancred 	Then it's settled. We make for Malikah's Well.
 	
Alphinaud 	A marvel of ingenuity, is it not?
 	
Alisaie 	Something about this doesn't feel right...
 	
Thancred 	I didn't expect to see Talos wandering about─much less of their own accord. How long must it have been since their creators' bones turned to dust?
 	
Ryne 	The Warden is down there. I can feel it.
 	
Urianger 	That the walls should still bear so great a burden after countless years of neglect bespeaketh the surpassing skill of their architects.
 	
Yshtola 	Though I cannot see it as you do, it is a no less awe-inspiring sight.
 	
Ryne 	It's here. I can taste its aether on the wind.
Alisaie 	Then we've finally found our mark.
Alisaie 	Let's put an end to this, [Player Name], and return the night sky to Amh Araeng.
 	
Alphinaud 	Our battle with the Warden of Holminster Switch was an eye-opening experience, to say the least. Alisaie and I have trained tirelessly that we might be better prepared for our next such encounter.
Alphinaud 	For Minfilia, and the countless souls who struggled to carry on her legacy, we must end this.
 	
Alisaie 	I can't help thinking about all the children at the Inn. Abandoned to wait for the inevitable.
Alisaie 	So long as the Light holds sway here, there is no hope for them. But if we defeat the Wardens, if we restore the night, then maybe...maybe they can still be saved.
 	
Thancred 	No need to worry about me. Urianger and Y'shtola were quite thorough in their ministrations.
Thancred 	A pity their magicks did nothing for my clothes.
Thancred 	At any rate, we cannot well stop now. Not after all Ryne and Minfilia have given to bring us this far.
 	
Ryne 	The Warden's presence feels...familiar somehow. Now that I think about it, it reminds me of...
Ryne 	But that makes no sense. Sorry. I'm sure I'm just imagining things.
 	
Urianger 	Lest thou worry, I did relay unto Magnus word of thine untimely accident whilst I waited for thee to return from thine audience with the Oracle. He hath since reclaimed his Talos and trolley both, and meaneth to begin repairs anon.
Urianger 	For a blessing, the damage was but superficial, the leonine heart unmarred by Ran'jit's onslaught.
 	
Yshtola 	I was surprised to hear Ran'jit survived the fall. Though I suppose I did the same.
Yshtola 	More surprising is how he so readily saw through our diversion.
Yshtola 	A foe possessed of such cunning would be sufficient cause for concern in itself, but one capable of besting Thancred in combat too...? We would do well not to underestimate him when next we meet.
 	
Alphinaud 	The end to Light's dominion over this world is fast at hand.
 	
Thancred 	Perhaps their ministrations were not as thorough as I thought. Or perhaps I was a touch too reckless.
 	
Ryne 	If only I could've seen the look on Magnus's face when the night sky returned. They must all be so happy.
Ryne 	But what about you, [Player Name]? Do you feel...different at all?
 	
Urianger 	Once more shall the night share equal dominion over the firmament.
And yet our travails are far from over...
 	
Yshtola 	Is this not the moment Emet-Selch usually chooses to descend upon us? Whatever will we do without his feigned praise and backhanded compliments?
 	
Alisaie 	We did it. We really did it. I only wish there were time to visit the Inn. We can but hope the return of night has granted the residents some shred of comfort.
Alisaie 	They thought the world beyond changing. But today I think we proved them wrong.
Alisaie 	We will fix this broken land, [Player Name]. Together.
