Messenger of the Winds

is the third and final Quest of the collaboration event A Nocturne for Heroes in Final Fantasy XIV.
==Journal==
* Wishing to make the most of his time in Eorzea, Noctis declares that he will go fishing. He asks you to join him before heading off in the direction of the Jadeite Thick in the Central Shroud.
※Please note that you will be unable to complete this quest after the seasonal event has ended. For details, please check the Lodestone.
* To the tranquil susurration of the forest, Noctis reveals to you his worry that he may never find his way home. Brief though it was, the fishing session helps to lift his spirits, and he finds his determination anew. You then turn your steps back to Gridania to rejoin Kipih, but not before taking something called a “photo” together as a memento.
* You and Noctis return to the city to find Kipih in a flustered state. Apparently, magitek troopers have also appeared in Ixali territory, their presence alarming the beastmen and spurring them to summon forth their goddess, Garuda. Upon hearing the name, Noctis reveals that he vanquished a being by the same name back in his world, and is confident that the feat can be repeated here. While Kipih sets out to secure a loan of Cid's airship to bear you to the Howling Eye, Noctis bestows upon you his power─the ability to warp. Once your preparations are in order, you may proceed to the Carline Canopy, where Kipih will be waiting.
* Arriving at the Howling Eye, you come face-to-face not with the Lady of the Vortex, but a creature bearing an uncanny resemblance to her. Recognizing Noctis as the Chosen King, the Garuda-like being proceeds to make trial of him─together with you as his comrade.
* At the end of a turbulent struggle, you and Noctis emerge triumphant and are declared worthy. The divinity then opens a portal through which Noctis may return home, but not before Cid and Kipih make their entry with the newly repaired Regalia. Saying his farewells, Noctis climbs into his vehicle and prepares to speed off. In that instant, amidst the blinding light of the portal, you catch a glimpse of a mysterious woman dressed all in white. And then Noctis is gone.
* Kipih wonders if the woman in the light was Noctis's fiancée, but the truth may never be known. Thanking you for your assistance, she sets off to pen her story, leaving you and Cid to wish Noctis well in your hearts, wheresoever the long road may lead him...
==Objectives==
* Speak with Noctis in the Central Shroud.
* Speak with Kipih Jakkya in Gridania.
* Speak with Kipih Jakkya.

Noctis 	After all that, I still don't have any idea how I'm supposed to get home...
Noctis 	For now, it looks like there's nothing I can do except wait for Kipih to dig up clues.
Noctis 	So I was thinking, I've come all this way to this beautiful place. I might as well try to see what I can of it, so I've got something to tell my friends.
Noctis 	...It may not look like it, but I'm kinda crazy about fishing. I go whenever I have time, and I've got time now, so I'm gonna hit up a place nearby. You should come too.
Noctis 	I promise to have new information to share before long. See that you both return soon, all right?
 	
Noctis 	What took you so long? I've already reeled in a dozen.
Noctis 	To be honest with you, I'm worried. I keep thinking, what if I never found my way back? And it gets me down.
Noctis 	But being here in this tranquil forest and casting the line... It calms me. Helps me focus.
Noctis 	I have to get back. People are counting on me.
Noctis 	And I'm counting on you.
Noctis 	Oh hey, let's take a photo together. That massive waterwheel over there would make for a great backdrop.
Noctis 	Great.
Noctis 	Huh, guess you don't have cameras here. So, a photo is a... Actually, let me just show you.
Noctis 	You ready? Here we go!
Noctis 	Nice! I can practically hear Prompto say “Love the lighting!” Can't wait to show this to the fellas when I get back.
Noctis 	You're right, we should be getting back ourselves. Come on, let's go.
Noctis 	I promise to have new information to share before long. See that you both return soon, all right?
 	
Kipih Jakkya 	[Player Name], Noctis! Thank the gods you're back!
Noctis 	What's the matter?
Kipih Jakkya 	I've just learned from a colleague that the mechanical soldiers have also appeared in Ixali territory.
Kipih Jakkya 	That in itself wouldn't be a cause for concern, but the beastmen responded with alarm to the trespassers and have summoned forth Garuda!
Noctis 	That bird lady? Pretty sure we already took care of her. Back in my world, anyway.
Kipih Jakkya 	What!? You mean to say you are a primal-slayer like [Player Name]!?
Noctis 	Primal? Is that like an Astral or a Messenger?
Noctis 	Well, whatever it is, we'll take care of it one way or another. So, where's Garuda supposed to have appeared exactly?
Kipih Jakkya 	At the Howling Eye, her domain to the north. But it's nigh impossible to venture near, for Garuda shrouds her sanctuary with violent winds.
Kipih Jakkya 	If you are determined to face her, however, I will contact the Ironworks and request a loan of an airship.
 	
Kipih Jakkya 	Very well, then. While you see to your preparations, I will secure your transportation.
Kipih Jakkya 	When you are ready, come and meet me in front of the Carline Canopy.
 	
Noctis 	You've proven yourself a friend. If we're gonna face Garuda together, I'll lend you the power of kings.
Noctis 	It's a special power that I have, but I can share it with others.
Noctis 	With it, you can quickly warp around, like you've seen me do. Might take some getting used to, but I'm sure you've got what it takes.
Noctis 	Garuda's causing trouble because of the MTs, and I feel responsible for bringing them here. Let's go make things right!
Noctis 	Ready when you are!
 	
Kipih Jakkya 	The airship is ready to bear you and Noctis into battle! Are your preparations in order?
Kipih Jakkya 	Without further ado, then!
Elusiveixal03160 	Squawwwkkk! Run! Run for your lives!
Confusedixal03160	Like our goddess, it is...yet our goddess, it is not!
frightened Ixal 	Nay, something else, that thing is! Flee this place, we must!
Ff15garuda 	Clamorous creatures... Why have they summoned me? And what strange land is this?
Ff15garuda 	Ahhh, the Chosen King, Noctis. So that is the way of it.
Ff15garuda 	Yours was the presence that drew me hither.
Ff15garuda 	Very well. Take up your weapon, Chosen King, and face me. We shall see if you are worthy of my power.
Noctis 	You pack a serious punch, [Player Name]. I'm impressed.
Ff15garuda 	The Crystal has chosen well indeed. I acknowledge your strength, Noctis. Yours and your companion's both.
Noctis 	Man, what is it with gods and trials? Do you always have to be so skeptical?
Ff15garuda 	So it is decreed. At the world's peril do we grant our power unto the untested.
Cid 	Apologies for the delay!
Cid 	She's unlike anything I've seen before, so it took me a while to get acquainted, but the Regalia is as good as new.
Noctis 	Seriously? I owe you big time!
Ff15garuda 	Noctis. There is much you have left undone on Eos.
Ff15garuda 	Your presence here is an anchor, allowing me to link the two worlds. For you, I shall open the way.
Ff15garuda 	Tarry not, for the gate cannot remain for long.
Noctis 	Got it. Thanks.
Noctis 	Divinities... One minute they're trying to kill you, the next they're helping you. I'll never understand them.
Noctis 	Thanks for the company, [Player Name]. It was nice going around with you.
Noctis 	Yeah, definitely. We gotta hang out again.
Noctis 	You bet I will. And when everything's sorted, maybe we can hang out again.
Noctis 	Well, I better get moving. I've got a promise to keep, after all. Take care, now!
 	
Kipih Jakkya 	Before Noctis went into the portal, I could've sworn I saw a woman amidst the light. An ethereal beauty dressed all in white.
Cid 	I saw her too. It seemed to me she was waiting for Noctis. Guiding him. I can only assume they share a deep bond.
Kipih Jakkya 	Oh! Then perhaps that was his fiancée!
Cid 	Perhaps so...and perhaps not. The sole person who could've enlightened us has vanished into the light.
Kipih Jakkya 	Well, whoever and wherever Noctis's fiancée may be, I do hope they are reunited.
Kipih Jakkya 	Right! While events are still fresh in my mind, I shall return to my office and put pen to parchment. Master Cid, many thanks for your cooperation!
Kipih Jakkya 	But the most thanks of all, I reserve for you, my dear adventurer. In no small part due to your help, Noctis managed to find his way home, and my article can reach a climactic conclusion. See that you do not miss it!
Cid 	A strangely charismatic young man, was Noctis... In the end, we never learned the circumstances of his coming here.
Cid 	But if he has things he must do back home, as that Garuda-like being said, perhaps this was a trial that he had to overcome along his journey.
Cid 	At any rate, old friend, I believe our work here is done. Wherever the long road may lead him, may Noctis ever ride in the light of the Crystal.
