10TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_SEQ_00Y'shtola is relieved to be back in the Source.
21TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_SEQ_01As you and your comrades are presently ill-equipped to face a voidsent of Zeromus's might, Y'shtola asks that you apprise Urianger of the situation while she tends to Vrtra's wounds.
32TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_SEQ_02Though troubled by this turn of events, Urianger reassures you that the containment seal should forestall Zeromus's invasion for a time, as the brands were resilient enough to hold Zodiark in His prison since the sundering of the star. Be that as it may, since the brands were repaired in haste, and the true potential of dragon-become-voidsent is unclear, there is no telling how long you can afford to rely on this last line of defense. For now, Urianger vows to maintain his vigil over the seal with the Loporrits and the watcher, while you work alongside your allies in Radz–at–Han to devise a plan to combat this unprecedented threat.
43TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_SEQ_03The mood in Meghaduta is as grim as it was in the void, with the failure to save Azdaja still painfully fresh. Vrtra is a prisoner of his melancholy, until Zero of all people gives him and the others reason to cling to hope. In recalling the fate of Farfarello, the cowardly voidsent who was devoured by his comrade Ciriatto, she explains that when a voidsent dies, the souls it once harbored may break free and become individual entities once more. And so, when the time comes to lay low Zeromus, she urges Vrtra to call out to his sister, that she may find the strength to endure and be restored to life. Y'shtola further bolsters the spirits of all present when she announces her plan to harness the First's resplendent Light to counter Zeromus's impenetrable Darkness. This undertaking will require much time and preparation, and in the interim Estinien and Zero resolve to devote their energies to training for the battles that await.
54TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_SEQ_04Heartened by Zero's words, Varshahn reaffirms his desire to save his sister, and asks that you continue to lend him your strength until the great wyrm is finally free. The day is fast approaching when Zero's theory must be put to the proof, and you can but hope that Azdaja's soul is not beyond salvation.

5049TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_ESTINIEN_000_005Curse you, Golbez...
5150TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_VRITRA_000_008...
5251TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_YSHTOLA_000_009In light of this development, that we escaped with our lives is an accomplishment unto itself.
5352TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_YSHTOLA_100_009Would that we could have anticipated Azdaja's yearning to return home could be manipulated in this fashion. Alas, we must now contend with a newborn voidsent hells-bent on breaching the rift.
5453TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_110_009And one with such prodigious strength. Zeromus is unlike anything I have ever seen.
5554TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_120_009So named for an ancient hero, as Golbez said. Though none can say if there is even a sliver of truth to the legends.
5655TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_130_009Perhaps Golbez chose it in the hopes that his champion will do that which no one could in the Contramemoria: save the world.
5756TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_MYSTERIOUSPERSON_140_009But a true hero would not damn another world to save his own.
5857TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_ESTINIEN_150_009And we're not about to let that happen, but regardless, we need to regroup.
5958TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_YSHTOLA_000_010Aye. Loath though I am to admit it, we are in no state to face a voidsent of Zeromus's might.
6059TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_YSHTOLA_000_011Vrtra not least of all, in body and mind both. For now, let us return to Radz–at–Han and take stock of the situation.
6160TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_VRITRA_100_011...Very well.
6261TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_YSHTOLA_000_012Player─might I trouble you to head to Bestways Burrow and apprise Urianger of the situation?
6362TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_YSHTOLA_000_013The rest of us shall tend Vrtra's wounds before returning to Radz–at–Han. Pray join us there anon.
6463TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_YSHTOLA_000_020Dire though these circumstances may seem, Vrtra must keep the faith. For despite Golbez's claim, there is still a war to fight. A war we must win.
6564TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_ESTINIEN_000_025Y'shtola expended a great deal of aether to open the voidgate, and Zero took a vicious blow from Zeromus.
6665TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_ESTINIEN_000_026But worry not, I'm well enough to keep everyone safe. And when we've finished here, be sure to get some rest. You've earned it.
6766TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_URIANGER_000_030Ah, Player, thou art returned. I am pleased to say it hath been blessedly uneventful in your absence, but more importantly─what of your mission in the void?
6867TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_URIANGER_000_031Heavens forfend... That Azdaja should be used to birth a dread voidsent born of Zodiark's residual aether...
6968TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_URIANGER_000_032Although we could not have predicted this outcome, there is one small mercy: the voidsent containment seal. As we employed the selfsame brands that once imprisoned Zodiark in its creation, the seal should serve to hinder Zeromus.
7069TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_URIANGER_100_032Yet for how long, none can say, for our enemy's strength is unknowable, whilst the barrier was erected in haste.
7170TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_URIANGER_000_033Thou shalt rejoin our comrades anon to deliberate measures, yes? Then I shall remain here to maintain my vigil over the seal.
7271TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_URIANGER_000_034Should we observe signs of an impending incursion, rest assured I shall send word without delay. Go well, my friend.
7372TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_URIANGER_000_040Concern thyself not with matters here. Pray return to Radz-at-Han, where thou art needed.
7473TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_OFFICIAL04535_000_050Ah, Mistress Player, we have been expecting you.
7574TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_OFFICIAL04535_000_051When the satrap and your comrades returned earlier, I couldn't help but notice that they were in low spirits. I hope it is nothing too serious...
7675TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_OFFICIAL04535_000_052But forgive me, you must be eager to join them. If you would follow me...
7776TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_Q1_000_000Enter Meghaduta?
7877TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_VARSHAHN_000_059Azdaja is my sister, and long have I dreamed of saving her.
7978TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_VARSHAHN_000_060But if I am to do so, I must be better than I have been. Blessed though I am to have you and yours as comrades, I cannot well ask you to lift me up every time doubt and despair creep into my heart.
8079TEXT_AKTKMK109_04743_VARSHAHN_000_061I won't falter again. This I swear. I will hold fast to my conviction, Player, and I pray that you will stand with me to the last.
