4948TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_YSHTOLA_000_001'Tis said that a person's domain is a reflection of what abides in their heart. If true, this place may offer a glimpse into Zero's past.
5049TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_ESTINIEN_000_005The longer one lives, the more one yearns for peace. I understand why some would sequester themselves here.
5150TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VARSHAHN_000_010'Tis quite a gathering of voidsent. I pray one among them has the knowledge we seek.
5251TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_020Consider yourselves duly warned. If you wish to go among the voidsent here, that is your choice to make.
5352TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_100_020All have fled from one master or another. But whether any of those masters in turn served Golbez, I do not know. You must ask them yourselves.
5453TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_110_020Most have traveled to your world, so it shouldn't be difficult to communicate.
5554TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VARSHAHN_000_022We shall go about making inquiries at once. Thank you for your counsel.
5655TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VARSHAHN_100_022Once we've learned all we can, let us reconvene at yonder plaza.
5756TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_028You're going too, of course? In which case, I shall accompany you.
5857TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_029I wish only to observe. Do not expect me to help.
5958TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_030Then it's settled. I'm ready when you are.
6059TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_YSHTOLA_000_100As you may recall, when a larger voidsent is summoned, only its soul makes the journey to the Source.
6160TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_YSHTOLA_000_105Upon its arrival, it takes possession of a host body. But during that time, what becomes of its actual body here in the Thirteenth?
6261TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_YSHTOLA_000_110The answer to this question may give us valuable insight into cross-rift travel.
6362TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_YSHTOLA_000_115To that end, while asking after Golbez, I shall also see what the voidsent can tell me about their experiences when summoned.
6463TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_ESTINIEN_000_120If a voidsent is too weak to create its own domain, it must join with others for protection.
6564TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_ESTINIEN_000_125Alternately, it might devour them in a bid to become stronger, but in so doing risk losing its sense of self.
6665TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_ESTINIEN_000_130'Tis an unenviable struggle...
6766TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VARSHAHN_000_135'Twas in order to strike down the Cloud of Darkness that my sister crossed over into the void.
6867TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VARSHAHN_000_140What befell her after she vanished into the gate? How did she become Golbez's captive? These things and more, I hope to learn...
6968TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_150Ready? Then lead the way. I leave it to you to decide with whom you speak.
7069TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_151Zero is now accompanying you. Keep her at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
7170TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_152You can leave Zero behind by entering a different area, or by speaking with her and selecting the option to part ways.
7271TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_153If you wish to have Zero accompany you again, return and speak with her at the original location.
7372TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_200What will you do?
7473TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_201Small talk.
7574TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_202Part ways with Zero.
7675TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_203Nothing.
7776TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_207Although this is my domain, I don't make a habit of strolling about. 'Tis a strange feeling...
7877TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_214Are you sure you wish to part ways with Zero?
7978TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_215You have other business? Fine. Come and find me at my abode when you've finished.
8079TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_216Finished tending to your other affairs? Then let us continue on.
8180TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_204**Ask about Zero's abode.
8281TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_205**Ask about the plaza.
8382TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_208I call this my abode, but spend hardly any time here. I return only for meditation.
8483TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_209While physical wounds can be healed by replenishing one's aether, you can't preserve your form if you lose sight of yourself.
8584TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_210Such is the risk inherent in consuming another's soul. It dilutes your sense of self. Alters you inside and out.
8685TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_100_210To guard against this, I meditate. Visualize who I am, in a place all my own.
8786TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_211This is the heart of my domain. Normally it's deserted, but you and yours have drawn everyone out.
8887TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_212I don't recall this statue, though...
8988TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_213However it came to be here, I certainly didn't wish for it.
9089TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596A_000_217I thought you were her prey, but they say you're her minions. Which are you?
9190TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596B_000_218Are you really a mortal? I've never seen a mortal before...
9291TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596C_000_219<slurp> I bet you taste good. But I can't eat you, else I'll be eaten too...
9392TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_220You must be accompanied by Zero and have her at your side in order to proceed with quest objectives.
9493TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_221Zero has yet to arrive. Be sure she is at your side before attempting to continue.
9594TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596A_000_222To walk around with her like that... You're her minion, then?
9695TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_223You know I don't take minions. She has some questions, and I want you to answer them.
9796TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596A_000_224Golbez? I don't know that one. Only Scathach.
9897TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596A_000_225When she led us beyond the veil, I grew scared and fled.
9998TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596A_000_226I've been here since. I don't know anyone else, nor do I wish to. That's all I can tell you.
10099TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_227Scathach was a powerful voidsent who ruled over a vast domain. That was a long time ago, though, so I doubt she has any connection to Golbez.
101100TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596A_000_230I told you─I don't know anyone else, nor do I wish to. Leave me be.
102101TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596B_000_240You're one of the mortals! Is it true? When you die over there, you *really* die?
103102TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596B_000_241So it is, so it is! What brings you here, then?
104103TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596B_000_242Ah yes, Golbez. He seeks strong minions to grow his army, so I hear.
105104TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596B_000_243But recently, he stopped doing that. Instead, he devours all.
106105TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_244Perhaps he's gathered enough fodder and is now intent on bolstering his own strength. A sure sign that he is about to make a move.
107106TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596B_000_245By the way, why haven't you died already? Over there, you can do so any time, no? Don't miss your chance, or you'll end up like us.
108107TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596C_000_250<rumble> Stay away from me... If you don't want to be eaten, stay away...
109108TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596C_000_251Golbez, Golbez... I've heard the name before.
110109TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596C_000_252Ah, I remember! Always speaking of a great crusade. I don't know what that is, but it sounds delicious. <slurp>
111110TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_253A crusade, you say? From whom did you hear this?
112111TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596C_000_254Farfarello. He was a minion of another minion. Went on and on about the terrible things he saw.
113112TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_255I see... Perhaps Farfarello can tell us more.
114113TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VOIDSENT04596C_000_260Why do you want to know about Golbez? Do you have a crusade too?
115114TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_270Satisfied with what you've learned? Ah─but let's step away before you become too tempting to resist.
116115TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_300It seems the rumors of Golbez reach even my remote domain.
117116TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_301Fair to assume he's gathering strength for his crusade─whatever that may be.
118117TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_302But I must say, I wouldn't have guessed that Farfarello once fought in Golbez's army. It's a miracle he survived serving an archfiend.
119118TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_303Ah, I suppose I should explain.
120119TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_304Farfarello is the weakest among us. Constantly in fear of being devoured, he seldom consorts with others.
121120TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_305The only one he's comfortable with is Ciriatto.
122121TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_306He's a fellow coward who runs the instant he senses a threat, and won't stop until he's exhausted.
123122TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_307When their hunger grows too intense, they feed on each other's aether. Such is their relationship.
124123TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_308But I ramble. You intend to seek out Farfarello, I presume?
125124TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_309Then I'll come with you. He's less likely to hide that way.
126125TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_400Farfarello keeps to the fringes of my domain. This way.
127126TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_SYSTEM_000_206**Ask about Farfarello's hiding place.
128127TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_500The voidsent here don't answer to a master. They can do as they please.
129128TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_501But all must answer to the hunger, and seek out prey when they need aether.
130129TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_502Except Farfarello and Ciriatto, that is─they are content to take from one another. Barring an incident, they dare not venture out.
131130TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_503When he takes flight, Ciriatto will not seek shelter until he is utterly spent. Farfarello, on the other hand, prefers to hide in the same place. Come.
132131TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_504Uwaaaaaah! P-Please don't eat me...but I suppose you have to...
133132TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_505Oh, whatever will I do now? <whimper>
134133TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_506Ciriatto... This is rather unexpected. Where is Farfarello?
135134TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_507<gulp>
136135TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_508Farfarello...isn't here anymore. He's...left. Y-Yes, that's right!
137136TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_509Left? That doesn't sound like him at all.
138137TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_510W-Well, he's gone, all right? Wh-What more do you want me to say?
139138TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_511And off he flees, as he is wont to do.
140139TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_512But something about this doesn't sit well with me...
141140TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_513What do you make of Ciriatto's behavior?
142141TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_Q1_000_000What will you say?
143142TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_A1_000_001He seemed frightened. Perhaps someone had threatened him?
144143TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_A1_000_002I don't think he was telling the truth.
145144TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_515I doubt it. Had he been threatened, we wouldn't have found him in one place.
146145TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_516No, he would run in circles until he could run no more. That's his nature.
147146TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_517So you think so too.
148147TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_519As he says, Farfarello is gone. But that is quite unusual.
149148TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_520As is the fact that Ciriatto, who was clearly frightened by something, chose not to flee but instead hid here, where Farfarello usually─
150149TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_100_520...No.
151150TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_521We must go after Ciriatto. Now.
152151TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_530I know Farfarello was our quarry, but Ciriatto's behavior troubles me. We must find him.
153152TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_600I-I don't have time for this... You'd best keep your distance if you know what's good for you!
154153TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_601Ciriatto, we need to talk.
155154TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_602Th-There's no time! The wind rises! We must flee!
156155TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_603The wind rises...? What is he talking about?
157156TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_604After him.
158157TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_700Uwaaah, the wind howls! Louder and louder!
159158TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_701What's gotten into you? What do you mean, the wind rises?
160159TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_702When the wind rises, she comes! *Barbariccia*!
161160TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_703Barba...riccia? Who in the world is that?
162161TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_704We must flee, all of us! There's no time!
163162TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_705I don't sense anything, but he seems convinced.
164163TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_706It's a dead end beyond. We'll corner him.
165164TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_800Ahhh, it's too late! The wind is already upon us!
166165TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_801We're doomed! There's nowhere to run!
167166TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_802What are you running from?
168167TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_803I-I already told you! Barbariccia, the archfiend of wind!
169168TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_804Archfiend, you say?
170169TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_805We will be devoured or forced to serve. To fight in the crusade. But it makes no difference. In the end, all are eaten by her or her enemies.
171170TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_806I didn't want to fight anymore. That's why I fled and came here!
172171TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_807I see. That explains everything...almost.
173172TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_808I thought it was Farfarello who used to serve an archfiend. Not you.
174173TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_100_808Not you, who always ran at the first sign of trouble. You who now speak as though you were Barbariccia's minion. There's only one explanation...
175174TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_Q2_000_000What will you say?
176175TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_A2_000_001He devoured Farfarello...didn't he?
177176TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_A2_000_002...
178177TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_200_808Indeed, that would account for his uncharacteristic behavior.
179178TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_811So, is that the way of it? Did you devour Farfarello?
180179TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_812And not just a portion of his aether, but his entire being.
181180TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_813Tell me true, Ciriatto. You devoured Farfarello, didn't you?
182181TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_814And not just a portion of his aether, but his entire being.
183182TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_816...H-How did you know?
184183TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_817It wasn't only your behavior that felt strange.
185184TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_818*You* felt strange. As if there was more than you present.
186185TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_100_818Now, I don't believe you would've lost control. More likely it was at Farfarello's behest.
187186TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_819I can't hide anything from you...
188187TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_100_819I admit it. Farfarello didn't leave. I ate him.
189188TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_820He feared Barbariccia more than anything. Hated the endless fighting.
190189TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_821So he begged me to devour him, that he would never have to fight again.
191190TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_100_821Rather than an eternity of fighting, he chose a moment of pain...
192191TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_200_821For all the good it did. I can still hear his voice in my head. He's frightened, so very frightened...
193192TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_822When you're eaten, your essence is blended with that of your devourer. And though you have no control, your consciousness in part endures.
194193TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_100_822Were this a world where the wheel of life and death still turned, the soul wouldn't linger so stubbornly.
195194TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_110_822In time, it would return to the great flow.
196195TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_120_822But there's no such end here. No escape. All know this. In making his choice, Farfarello must have been desperate indeed.
197196TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_823And now that desperation has joined with Ciriatto's fear, driving him to act erratically.
198197TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_824This place will become a battlefield. We don't want to be eaten. Neither me nor Farfarello. But there's nowhere to go! Nowhere!
199198TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_825Then tell me about Barbariccia. I would know who it is we face.
200199TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_FORMERMINIONVOIDSENT_000_826It's too late. She's as good as here, and no one can escape her winds! No one!
201200TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_YSHTOLA_000_900What little I learned in your absence did not pertain to the archfiends. That discussion can wait until after we've tended to Barbariccia.
202201TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VARSHAHN_000_905Just you wait, Barbariccia. I will have answers from you yet...
203202TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_910I have no intention of demanding anyone's aether until afterwards. Weakening you now would only reduce my chances of getting paid.
204203TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_ESTINIEN_000_920The less time we give the enemy to prepare, the better. If everyone is ready, then let us set forth.
205204TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VARSHAHN_000_921Indeed. And yet...my heart weighs heavy for those Barbariccia struck down. Were it not for us, she would not have come here.
206205TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_VARSHAHN_100_921Should you require a moment, Zero...
207206TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_000_922For what? Barbariccia took what she could. She was wise to strike quickly─as we would be.
208207TEXT_AKTKMI105_04596_ESTINIEN_000_924Agreed. This is no time for sentiment. Only the battle matters now.
