For Whom the Verse is Sung (pt.1) - Ru'Lude Gardens
Chapter 6: Echoes of Time
Pherimociel: Player name. 
What business do you have here today? 
If you seek Captain Wolfgang, he is currently...
Pherimociel: You are here about the girl, Prishe? 
And the warrant for her arrest?
Pherimociel: She presented herself at the palace of her own free will, not so long ago.
Pherimociel: Naturally, she was taken into custody, but her demands for an audience with a higher authority are becoming increasingly vocal.
Pherimociel: I wonder if Captain Wolfgang will return from his duties any time in the near future...
Ulmia: Player name!
Ulmia: I apologize for interrupting your conversation, but...could you walk with me for a moment?
Ulmia: Why would Prishe surrender herself so easily...?
Ulmia: I have no idea what she could be thinking.
Ulmia: Thank the mercy of Altana that Prishe has escaped any punishment while the Jeunoan government is occupied with other matters.
Ulmia: If only we could use this opportunity to rescue her somehow...
Tenzen: Player name! 
Lady Ulmia!
Ulmia: Tenzen!
Tenzen: I am glad to have found you. 
You have heard of young Lady Prishe's predicament?
Tenzen: We need to gather everyone together to unite our actions and plan our next move.
Tenzen: The rest of our friends are waiting in a tavern in Upper Jeuno.
Ulmia: A tavern in Upper Jeuno...?
Tenzen: Aldo has used his influence to secure the establishment for our exclusive use, if only for a short while.
Tenzen: I will await you on the premises. 
Until then.
For Whom the Verse is Sung - Upper Jeuno
Tenzen: Player name, it is good to see you.
Tenzen: We have finally grasped the entire tapestry that our separate tales have woven.
Tenzen: I never believed that something like this was possible.
Tenzen: I suggest you prepare yourself before Lady Ulmia arrives.
Ulmia: Why is everyone so quiet? Is something wrong?
Tenzen: Lady Ulmia, we have been waiting for you. 
Will you steel your heart and listen to the story we have to tell?
Tenzen: Of course, we have tried to refute this conclusion and find some other explanation.
Tenzen: However, we now know that the boy, Selh'teus, has come to thwart the plans of the ancient ones and steal the light of the crystals.
Louverance: We also know that the Divinity of Darkness that rules over the Kindred was not Promathia after all.
Jabbos: But...the Moblins...heard from...the Divinity of Darkness...that the...Keeper of the Apocalypse...has already...arisen.
Shikaree Z: And surely you have seen the magicite imbedded in Prishe's chest?
Shikaree Z: According to your explanation, that stone contained the Emptiness of the Twilight God, Promathia.
Tenzen: Lady Ulmia. 
This must come as a shock for one so close to Lady Prishe.
Tenzen: But I must inform you of the facts I have learned from the terrestrial avatars Carbuncle and Fenrir.
Tenzen: After ten thousand years, the Keeper of the Apocalypse was fated to be born in the nation of Tavnazia!
Ulmia: Surely you are not saying that this keeper you speak of is Prishe!
Ulmia: That is impossible! 
I refuse to believe it!
Ulmia: We have been friends since the time before Tavnazia's destruction!
Ulmia: I can honestly say that I have never met a person more pure of heart.
Ulmia: She has more faith, and more courage...
Ulmia: How could she be the Keeper of the Apocalypse and still urge Diabolos to save the world?
Tenzen: It is true that I do not know of anyone who possesses the zest for life that Prishe has.
Tenzen: And if we had but the time and the knowledge, we would rescue Lady Prishe from this destiny.
Tenzen: However, we have no time remaining.
Tenzen: A duty lies before us: 
Lord Bahamut and his minions must be stopped!
Shikaree Z: And if Cardinal Mildaurion is still alive as we believe, she will be planning to use Prishe to awaken the Twilight God.
Shikaree Z: With Prishe and her magicite in the cardinal's possession, the world is one step away from oblivion!
Jabbos: When Promathia...awakens...there will be...no stopping...the Moblins.
Ulmia: Stop it, all of you. 
You truly intend to do away with Prishe if it means the plans of Wyrmking Bahamut will be prevented?
Ulmia: That is something I cannot do!
Tenzen: Lady Ulmia!
Tenzen: ...
Shikaree Z: Let her be. 
The first thing we have to do is rrrescue Prishe from the Grand Duke Palace. 
I'll start working on a plan.
Louverance: I will call upon some old acquaintances. 
They may be able to help us.
Jabbos: I wish...no more lives...to be lost. 
I...will do...what I can.
Tenzen: Player name.
Tenzen: Do you agree with our decision?
:Do you agree?
::No, I don't.
::There's no other way.
::What decision?
:"What decision?"
:Tenzen: In order to save the world from destruction, we must defeat the one known as the Keeper of the Apocalypse.
:Tenzen: Even if Lady Prishe herself is the Keeper, I will not fail to carry out this task.
:(Choose again.)
:"No, I don't."
:Tenzen: Do not let our actions concern you.
:Tenzen: You are free to follow your own path from here.
:Tenzen: I only ask that you look after Lady Ulmia. 
:She did not take this news well.
:"There's no other way."
:Tenzen: You understand what we have all agreed to here? 
:We have come to a brutal and bloody conclusion.
:Tenzen: Although no one life holds more importance than another, I have a duty to save the world, no matter the cost.
:Tenzen: But still... 
:I worry for Lady Ulmia.
Tenzen: There is little you can say to comfort her, but at least see her safely to Tavnazia.
Tenzen: If you ask the aid of Lady Esha'ntarl, I am sure your return will be a swift one.
Tenzen: Until we meet again!
For Whom the Verse is Sung (pt.2) - Ru'Lude Gardens
Ulmia: Player name.
Ulmia: I must apologize for my childish behavior. 
I never should have run off in such a flustered state.
Ulmia: I do understand what everyone is saying.
Ulmia: I understand that the Wyrmking, Bahamut, plans to obliterate all the peoples of Vana'diel.
Ulmia: Even with the might of the Jeuno Armada, many more innocent lives will be lost in this conflict if something is not done.
Ulmia: And I do understand that everyone truly wishes to rescue Prishe from her destiny...
Ulmia: However, it is as Lord Diabolos has said. 
We cannot save both the world and all of her people.
Ulmia: Lord Diabolos... 
I wonder if he called Prishe into his dreamworld because he knew the truth of her identity--that she is the Keeper of the Apocalypse.
Ulmia: Was Cardinal Mildaurion also aware of this truth? 
Is that why she gave Prishe that amulet? 
But I still...
Ulmia: Player name, it may be too late at this point, but there is something I must tell you.
Ulmia: When Prishe had collapsed, and her amulet was stolen...
Prishe: It was only for a second, but I'm pretty damn sure.
Prishe: The presence I felt when the amulet was stolen... 
It was definitely Miss Mildaurion!
Ulmia: You're saying that Cardinal Mildaurion took the amulet from you?
Ulmia: Why would she act in such a manner? 
Did not the cardinal give the amulet to you as a gift?
Prishe: Yeah, she did. 
Miss Mildaurion was always watching over me through the amulet.
Prishe: She was always making sure I wasn't thinking of doing something stupid or getting myself into trouble.
Prishe: But she needed to take the amulet back.
Prishe: An old, old friend she'd waited a long, long time for had finally returned...
Prishe: She apologized to me in her thoughts. 
Said that I would be safe while I was in Jeuno...
Ulmia: But then...
Ulmia: Cardinal Mildaurion would have known that we, the survivors of the Great War, were unable to leave the island...
Ulmia: She knew, but she did not come to help us. 
She abandoned us to our fate...?
Prishe: No, I don't think so. 
Miss Mildaurion left it to me.
Ulmia: Left what to you...?
Ulmia: What was Prishe about to say, I wonder.
Ulmia: What could Cardinal Mildaurion have entrusted to us? 
Surely not the resurrection of the Twilight God...?
Ulmia: It might be naive of me to believe that you are on my side.
Ulmia: However, I am not willing to give up.
Ulmia: I want to sing of a world where both Vana'diel and all of her people are saved.
Ulmia: Will you dream of such a world alongside me?
:Do you dare to dream?
::Yes, I'll fight to the end! <----- Chose this option!
::Reality is not that kind...
Ulmia: Thank you, Player name!
:Do you dare to dream?
::Yes, I'll fight to the end!
::Reality is not that kind... <----- Chose this option!
Ulmia: I am sorry. 
I have asked too much without considering your feelings.
Ulmia: I will once again go to the Grand Duke Palace. 
I've not found anyone in town who has information, but Makki-Chebukki and the others have probably tracked down some rumors.
Ulmia: There must be something we can do to save Prishe... 
There must be someone who knows of the cardinal...
