Voice of the Soul

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* The entity formed by the fusion of Mitron and Gaia reaches into Ryne's mind, drawing on her greatest hopes and fears. The Ascian intends to shape these memories into an adversary created solely to destroy you and Ryne. Though it is impossible to predict the form your foe will take, you grit your teeth and prepare for battle.
※Eden's Promise: Anamorphosis can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
* The grueling encounter reaches its conclusion as you triumph over the terrifying amalgamation of Ryne's most profound memories. What effect, if any, your victory may have had remains to be seen.
* The fused Ascian is nigh on delirious upon discovering that such imperfect beings could succeed where the ancients once failed, by overcoming the manifestation of your own fears. As your foe moves to strike you down, Gaia's consciousness intervenes, forestalling the attack. This, however, only serves to enrage the Ascian, who begins to erase Gaia's memories one by one. Your adversary then proceeds to draw vast amounts of aether into Eden in order to create a utopia in which time has no meaning. The Ascian then disappears, though neither you or Ryne intend to abandon Gaia to her fate. Ryne exerts her control over Eden, disrupting the aetherial flow, granting you an opportunity to give chase.
※Eden's Promise: Eternity can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
* You withstand a relentless assault and finally succeed in freeing Gaia from Mitron. Though she appears physically unscathed by her ordeals, she remains unconscious, leaving Ryne visibly concerned.
* Ryne's desperate attempts to wake Gaia are to no avail. For want of any better ideas, you decide to call her name in the hope that she will return to her senses.
* Calling out to Gaia fails to have any discernible effect, but all is not lost. The ice crystal necklace that was previously concealed in Gaia's sleeve begins to glow, and Ryne is certain that it can somehow be used to reach out to your comatose friend.
* At long last, Gaia awakens, greeted by the sight of the Empty flourishing with the bounties of nature. While Ryne is ecstatic to have fulfilled her dream of rejuvenating the once-barren wasteland, you sense that it is the safe return of her dear friend that means the most to her.

Ryne 	No... My memories... They're being used to fuel a summoning!
Ryne 	Unnnh... Is this how it feels to have the faerie inside my mind? To think Gaia had to endure it for so long...
Ryne 	You're right. However bad this is, it's nothing compared to what she's going through now.
Ryne 	But if the summoning really is based on my hopes and fears, it will most likely create a foe unlike any you've ever fought before.
Ryne 	Whatever it may be, I believe in you! We'll find a way through this, I know it!
 	
Ryne 	While it seems that the summoning will be based on my memories, I still have no idea what form it will take.
Ryne 	Remember, it's all an Ascian ploy, so don't let yourself be fooled! Please, just do what you have to do. I'm sure you're more than a match for whatever Mitron has in store!
 	
Ryne 	So this is the way of the Ascians? To use the memories of our loved ones against us?
Gaiaprime 	That fragmented souls should triumph over their fears while we succumbed to ours, thereby setting our star upon a course of ruin...
Gaiaprime 	That inferior beings such as you should succeed while we failed! It defies all logic!
Gaia 	Now's your chance!
Ryne 	Gaia's still in there, fighting to free herself from Loghrif's will!
Gaiaprime 	Even now, you would defy us!?
Gaiaprime 	We will remove every last vestige of your meaningless mortal existence!
Ryne 	Gaia's memories! They're being destroyed!
Gaiaprime 	Impurities must be purged. We shall begin by erasing you from her past, and then by your deaths, erase you from her future. There is no place for you in our utopia.
Ryne 	We may be mere mortals, our souls fragmented, but our existence is not meaningless!
Ryne 	And you should understand this! Before you awoke as an Ascian, you lived as one of us!
Ryne 	You had your own memories, and surely they mean something? The lives you led can't all have been for nothing!
Gaiaprime 	To we who have known perfection, they are less than nothing.
Ryne 	Compared to yours, our lives may seem insignificant.
Ryne 	Nevertheless, we live them to the fullest! And though it may take us a thousand years, we have the potential to build a world every bit as wonderful as yours!
Ryne 	But you won't even allow us a chance? To live our own lives and forge our own future?
Gaiaprime 	Whatever you forge will inevitably crumble to dust. But we are immortal, our legacy eternal. If our world cannot be made complete as it once was, we will create a perfect moment that shall last forever.
Gaiaprime 	By our hand shall our paradise be made, where there is no beginning and no end.
Ryne 	Eden's absorbing enormous amounts of aether! At this rate, the whole world will be drained!
Gaiaprime 	Light and Darkness, the elements of nature, all in harmony. A sublime utopia, where time has no meaning.
Gaiaprime 	We shall become one with Eden. Free to live in peace for eternity.
Ryne 	No! Gaia!
Ryne 	There's only one thing for it. I'll try to disrupt the balance of aether and create an opening for you!
Ryne 	We can't let it end like this. It's up to us to save Gaia!
 	
Ryne 	A place where time has no meaning, where there is no beginning and no end... I'm not sure I like the sound of that. We all die someday, but that's what makes life so precious!
Ryne 	And I know that Gaia wouldn't want that, to simply exist without any hope for the future, to stay the same forever.
Ryne 	How she lives is up to her. It's not for Mitron or anyone else to decide. We'll free her from that fiend and give her the chance she deserves!
 	
Ryne 	We did it! She's free at last! Or at least that's how it seems. She won't wake up...
Ryne 	Gaia, I don't know if you can hear me, or if you even remember who I am, but just give me a sign that you're all right. Please, say something, anything!
Ryne 	You're right [Player Name]. I mustn't lose hope!
Ryne 	Wait, what's this?
Ryne 	It's the necklace! But she said she left it back in the Crystarium...
Ryne 	Maybe she likes it a lot more than she lets on. I suppose it does hold a lot of memories for the both of us.
...Wait─there might be a way we can use this to bring her back!
 	
Ryne 	I'm not sure how to reach her, but if she remembers the necklace, maybe she'll find her way back to us!
 	
Ryne 	Gaia! We're right here beside you! Come back to us!
 	
Ryne 	She can hear us, I know she can! Now, all we can do is pray that she'll return...
 	
Ryne 	Gaia, I know you're in there somewhere.
Ryne 	If you're lost, I'll find a way to reach you!
Ryne 	I swear it!
 	
Gaia 	Where am I...?
Gaia 	Mitron... I'm finally free of you, it seems.
Mitron 	Ah, dearest Gaia... That fate should part us once more...
Gaia 	Still, this is what you wanted. There's no need to be quite so upset.
Mitron 	What do you mean?
Gaia 	You've been released from Eden, free to be reborn. Perhaps one day, fate will bring us together again, in another life.
Gaia 	After all, you've already found me once, in spite of everything.
Gaia 	I might even be the one to find you.
Mitron 	I fear you will come to forget me. To forget the times we shared.
Gaia 	Perhaps. After all, memories are such fragile things...
Gaia 	That's why I'm planning to keep a diary. Even after I'm gone, my memories will live on.
Mitron 	For future generations to discover...
Gaia 	Yes. They'll read the tale of the girl bound by duty, and of her loyal protector, arrived in her hour of need.
Mitron 	Perhaps you might leave out the part where that “protector” was the one who needed saving. You have grown strong, Gaia.
Gaia 	If I'd found you sooner, then maybe...!
Gaia 	No, wait! Don't leave me!
Gaia 	Until we meet again, Artemis.
Gaia 	Hm? Whose name did I just...
Gaia 	Well, never mind that for now. I need to get out of here...wherever here is.
Gaia 	I feel as though there's somewhere I'm supposed to be, but I can't for the life of me remember where.
Gaia 	What's this?
Gaia 	Is this...ice? It certainly looks like it, but it doesn't seem to melt. And it shines so brightly...
Gaia 	I've seen this before...
Gaia 	That's it! There was a girl... But what was her name?
Gaia 	Ryne?
Ryne 	Gaia!
Gaia 	Ryne!
Ryne 	I can hear you!
Gaia 	I can't find my way out of here!
Ryne 	Hold on! I'm coming for you!
Ryne 	You remembered!
Gaia 	...I could never forget you. Try as I might.
Gaia 	So the aether that Eden had absorbed was returned to the land. Now, just like Mitron, the Empty can finally be reborn.
Ryne 	Though it can hardly be called the Empty now. It's...a utopia.
 	
Saytodo 	Gaia
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
