10TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_SEQ_00Yalfort has arrived in Mord Souq bearing pertinent information.
21TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_SEQ_01In the marketplace of Mord Souq, you are greeted by Yalfort, a member of the select few privy to the details surrounding the investigation being carried out in the Empty. After you are joined by Ryne and Urianger, Yalfort informs you that the girl who has been unconscious since leading the attack on Eden has awoken and is being escorted by Thancred to this very location. You learn that her name is Gaia and that she was originally a resident of Eulmore, although she has no memory of recent events. A short while later, she arrives with her newfound footman close behind, and it seems Thancred has been given the unenviable task of carrying her luggage. It soon becomes abundantly clear that she is incredibly impatient, and she demands that if the group insists on speaking at length, they should at least find somewhere to sit down first.
32TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_SEQ_02Gaia reveals that she has no memory whatsoever of your previous encounter, while Urianger inquires as to the true nature of her arcane abilities. She attributes these powers to a voice inside her head that she refers to as “the faerie,” which bears an uncanny similarity to Ryne's relationship to Minfilia. Gaia comes to the conclusion that if it was the faerie's intention for her to make contact with Eden, that is where she must go, and in so doing find the answers to the questions surrounding her past. In spite of Ryne's and Urianger's warnings, Gaia rushes off into the desert, displaying a surprising turn of speed, prompting Thancred to lead the rest of the group in chasing after her.
43TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_SEQ_03You race in the direction of a distant scream, where you discover Gaia staring down an enormous vilekin. As you dash to her rescue, she casts a seemingly potent spell, although the dark aura quickly dissipates, leaving the creature entirely unscathed. As it lunges to strike, it is suddenly enveloped in swirling magicks that leave nary a trace of the chitin-plated beast behind, while Gaia herself is thankfully unharmed.
54TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_SEQ_04Shortly after arriving on the scene, Ryne tells Gaia that if she is determined to risk life and limb to see Eden, you should all travel together. Thancred and Urianger's attempts to talk her out of it are vehemently rebuffed, though her two mentors soon admit that it was merely a ploy to test her resolve. Once again, Gaia cuts the conversation short and leads the way to the Derrick, where your transportation to the Empty awaits.
65TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_SEQ_05Thancred has finished preparing the skyslipper for the long journey ahead. Although the craft was apparently designed to only seat four people, the addition of the petite Gaia as the fifth member of your group is unlikely to cause any problems. As Thancred suggests, Urianger could always be made to sit with the camping supplies should you be in need of space inside the vessel.
76TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_SEQ_06After arriving at the camp, you find Gaia gazing towards Eden as it floats silently above the lake. As she stands in quiet contemplation, your comrades prepare to restore the next element to the Empty.

4948TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YALFORT_000_000Ah, there you are. I'm part of the team helping with the Ede─I mean, “highly classified and very, very secret...thing.”
5049TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YALFORT_000_001The fact of the matter is, I've come to inform you of a rather interesting development. It's about the girl who was brought back from the Empty. She's finally woken up, you see.
5150TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_002Yalfort! And Player, too!
5251TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_100_002We heard the news from Thancred. Is it true?
5352TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YALFORT_100_002Why yes, it most certainly is!
5453TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YALFORT_210_002Apparently, her name is Gaia. She claims to be a free citizen of Eulmore, although she remembers nothing of the events leading up to her attack on Eden.
5554TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_220_002She's lost her memory!?
5655TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YALFORT_230_002Parts of it, at the very least. We also cannot be sure whether she's telling the truth or if it's merely a ruse. She's yet to display any hostility, which is encouraging, I suppose.
5756TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_240_002And Thancred's with her now, is he?
5857TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YALFORT_250_002Yes. He's taken her to Eulmore, mainly to verify what she's told us so far. Quiz the locals, that sort of thing.
5958TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YALFORT_260_002After that, the plan is to come back here, though they're taking rather longer than I'd anticipated. I do hope nothing is amiss...
6059TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_003(-???-)Good grief! Are you always this slow!?
6160TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_004(-???-)At this rate, it'll be dark again before we know it! The night sky returning is all well and good, but it does make each day seem awfully short. And are you still dragging your heels back there!? At least *act* as if you've got a purpose, would you?
6261TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_005Now look here, I'm not one of your servants. Why don't you try carrying your own luggage for a change?
6362TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_006Thancred! You're back!
6463TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_007You lot are a sight for sore eyes. Yes, even you, Urianger. Gaia and I have just finished shipping her personal effects from Eulmore.
6564TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_009I'm glad we could finally meet. Properly, I mean.
6665TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_100_009So, ah... Did you learn anything useful?
6766TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_010Other than where she lives, not an awful lot. Her supposed neighbors barely knew the first thing about her.
6867TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_011Hells, *she* barely knows the first thing about herself. Her recollection of her life in Eulmore is patchy at best.
6968TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_012But she seems convinced that she'll regain her memory if she accompanies us, and so she invited herself to join our merry band. And for her first act, she ordered me to carry her luggage.
7069TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_100_012If you insist on standing around talking, might I suggest finding a place to sit down first? My feet are killing me.
7170TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_200_012Then perhaps you should've chosen more sensible footwear. Still, it's not such a bad idea. Shall we?
7271TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_300_012I've got so many things I want to ask, but I probably shouldn't bombard her with questions.
7372TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_310_012Well, I've given you my early impression of Gaia, but I would be interested in hearing your opinion. Go on and talk to her and see what you make of her situation.
7473TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_320_012Amnesia... 'Tis troubling though not entirely unexpected.
7574TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YALFORT_330_012That Gaia person appears to be none the worse off for her long sleep. A little surly, perhaps, but one can hardly expect her to be in the cheeriest of moods, given the circumstances.
7675TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_013So you don't remember anything at all? Not attacking us, not falling unconscious?
7776TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_014Such selective amnesia would rightly raise suspicion within those of a cautious mind.
7877TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_015Yet if she doth speak the truth, it would lend credence to my current hypothesis, though admittedly some further─
7978TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_016Not now, Urianger, she's only just woken up. We don't want to bore her back to sleep.
8079TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_017In any case, I prefer to follow my instincts, and they're telling me that Gaia means us no harm. After much deliberation, I thought it only right to let her know about our work in the Empty, as a sign of goodwill. After all, trust works both ways.
8180TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_100_017Though, I would ask you, Player, not to let your guard down just yet.
8281TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_019So you're the one I'm supposed to have fought? Come to think of it, I recognize you from somewhere.
8382TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_Q1_000_000What will you say?
8483TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_A1_000_001Maybe I just have one of those faces.
8584TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_A1_000_002So you should, considering you tried to kill me.
8685TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_020Or perhaps you just didn't make much of an impression? But to be honest, I do feel that since meeting you, those hazy memories are becoming slightly clearer.
8786TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_022Well, if Thancred's version of events is anything to go by, you weren't exactly holding back yourself. Still, it seems I didn't give you much of a choice but to defend yourself, so let's call it even. Not that I have any recollection of it...
8887TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_024...It's like remembering fragments of a dream, only to realize those things actually happened. <sigh> It's as though my whole life has been leading to this...
8988TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_026Thou speakest as though thou didst expect these events.
9089TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_027I guess you could say that. It's what the faerie tells me.
9190TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_030I can't see it, but it's as though there's someone else inside me. And I can hear its voice in my head.
9291TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_031It whispers to me and lets me use its power. “Magic,” I suppose you could call it, not that I know much about that sort of thing.
9392TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_032And this power alloweth thee to tear open the fabric betwixt realities, that thou mayest call forth the aether-starved denizens of what remaineth of the Thirteenth?
9493TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_033What!? Was that supposed to mean something or are you just spouting random words at me?
9594TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_034Honestly, I don't know how you all put up with this. I've only just met him and his insufferable prattle is already giving me a headache!
9695TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_100_034Gods, I still can't believe I'm having this conversation. And to think that I was flying about in a suit of armor, waving a sword. That doesn't sound like me at all.
9796TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_036Someone else inside you...
9897TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_037...Like Minfilia was inside me!
9998TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_038Aye, the similarities cannot be ignored. Though it is too early to say with certainty, Gaia may well be the Oracle of Darkness.
10099TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_039The Oracle...of Darkness? What does this mean?
101100TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_040It means that you may have been right when you said she has something in common with Emet-Selch.
102101TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_041Those who have been used as a living host by an Ascian have no recollection of events that occurred during their possession. This I know from personal experience.
103102TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_042But Gaia seems to have some memories still, even if they're a little hazy. Moreover, she has remained in control of herself even when she heard the voice within. Much like you and Minfilia.
104103TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_045And though Ryne was very much her own person, Minfilia's presence did exert a change upon her outward appearance, granting her hair and eyes a hue akin to that of our dear departed friend.
105104TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_046It is therefore not unthinkable that Gaia's raven locks may be a manifestation of the Darkness which hath come to reside within her.
106105TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_047But I was born like this. And my parents, they both had black hair, too.
107106TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_048Or at least I think they did. It's been so long since I saw them, I can't remember too well...
108107TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_050But enough about me. You're Minfilia, aren't you? The Oracle of Light, who they were hosting in Eulmore?
109108TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_051That's right, though imprisoning is a better word. They kept me locked away, and I didn't know much about Eulmore and its people, or the rest of the world for that matter.
110109TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_052I see. And how exactly did the Oracle of Light come to run with the Warrior of Darkness?
111110TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_053Well, it all started when...
112111TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_054Yes, I still remember the day everyone went raving mad and Lord Vauthry fled. Everything after that is still a blur, though.
113112TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_056From what Gaia's told me, she wasn't part of the mob that attacked us. But how was she able to resist Vauthry's control?
114113TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_057Mayhap 'twas the intervention of this “faerie” of whom she speaketh.
115114TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_058Hmm. As curious as that may be, we still don't know why she appeared out of nowhere as soon as Eden took flight.
116115TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_100_058This is just a guess, but I'd say that the faerie reacted to it in some way, and for whatever reason, made me go after it.
117116TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_110_058Yes, that seems like the only explanation.
118117TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_061I don't know about you lot, but I've had enough nattering. I'm going back to Eden.
119118TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_062What!? But why!?
120119TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_063The faerie wanted something from Eden, and knowing what that is will bring me a step closer to discovering exactly what has been living in my head all these years.
121120TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_068Besides, my memories aren't going to restore themselves, and certainly not through idle chitchat. So I'm going, and that's that!
122121TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_069Gaia, wait!
123122TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_070Insufferable. Utterly insufferable, and yet we can't well leave her to her own devices. Come on!
124123TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YALFORT_000_080Was there some sort of disagreement with Miss Gaia?
125124TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_100_080She can't have gone far, especially not in those heels...
126125TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_090Get away from me!
127126TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_091Gaia!
128127TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_092It seems I've no choice...
129128TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_093What...am I?
130129TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_100I'm not entirely sure what I just witnessed, but I'm glad she's unharmed.
131130TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_101Powers befitting the Oracle of Darkness...
132131TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_102When you fought Gaia, she opened voidgates, yes?
133132TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_103Back in the Source, portals such as those were all too common, but tearing open the veil between the First and the Thirteenth is a different matter entirely.
134133TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_104We should be thankful that she's not of a mind to turn that power against us. For now.
135134TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_105A most fascinating application of aetherial manipulation. The destructive blast did manifest a significant span of time after the initial casting. With sufficient mastery of such a technique, a second spell could be made to smite the target at precisely the same moment.
136135TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_106While it would demand exceptional aetherial control, its tactical potential cannot be denied.
137136TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_110What are you all gawping at?
138137TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_111I don't mean to stare, but it's not every day I see magic like that. So, this is the power of the faerie you spoke of?
139138TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_112Ever since I was a child, it has whispered to me, telling me what to do. That's how I came to use its power.
140139TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_100_112But there are things I can't even explain... Holes ripped in thin air, terrifying creatures crawling out, ghastly-looking blades and armor appearing out of nowhere. But worst of all is the dark energy that comes from inside.
141140TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_113This power...it feels as though it's only flowing through me, and never truly mine. And even when it answers my call, it always takes a few moments for the spells to work.
142141TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_114So in summary, you don't have control over the magic.
143142TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_115Well, it's not as if I ever tried to control it. I haven't made a habit of fighting wild beasts.
144143TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_116Unfortunately, it's part and parcel of traveling through Amh Araeng. And while I understand that you want answers, you're not going to find them unprepared as you are. But if your heart is set on this, then we'll help you.
145144TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_117Ryne, think about what you're saying. You're seriously considering taking Gaia to see Eden?
146145TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_119There's no telling what might happen if she loses control again, so the safest option is for her to stay away until our work is done. Somewhere we can keep an eye on her. You must realize, it's for her own good.
147146TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_120I must concur with Thancred's assessment. At present, we know precious little of Gaia's origin and less still of her powers.
148147TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_121If she is indeed the Oracle of Darkness, her presence may complicate a task already fraught with peril, placing our mission and her own well-being in jeopardy. In full knowledge of the risks, dost thou still wish to pursue this course?
149148TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_122I do.
150149TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_123It wasn't so long ago that I was living in isolation, being held against my will. Maybe the people keeping an eye on me thought *that* was for my own good, too.
151150TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_124But if we shut Gaia away for our own convenience, we're no better than Vauthry and Ran'jit!
152151TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_125I've learned that when someone is in need, we must reach out a helping hand, not push them away. Now, it's my turn. To do for Gaia what you've all done for me.
153152TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_100_125Even knowing the danger that lies ahead, I won't choose the easy way out. This is the path I've chosen!
154153TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_126Is that good enough for you?
155154TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_100_128Well, can't say fairer than that. How about you, Urianger?
156155TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_110_128The light of thy spirit doth burn bright.
157156TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_130Mine apologies, my dear, but we felt it necessary to test thy resolve. Let it suffice it to say thou hast left no room for doubt.
158157TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_132For what it's worth, Ryne, I never doubted you. But make no mistake, the danger that Urianger and I spoke of is all too real. If you're prepared to go through with this, we'll be right there beside you.
159158TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_133That means a lot to me. Thank you.
160159TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_135I couldn't care less who I travel with, but if we're going to go, then let's get going already. There's supposed to be some sort of craft waiting at the southern watchtower, yes? Come along then, and don't fall behind.
161160TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_140Of course I'm worried about what may happen when Gaia gets close to Eden. We'll keep a close eye on her, make sure she's all right.
162161TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_141Though our circumstance hath changed, our mission most assuredly hath not. Restoring life to the Empty remaineth our primary objective.
163162TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_142Why couldn't you leave this craft in Mord Souq instead of all the way out here? <sigh> Actually, don't bother explaining. Whatever the reason is, I'm sure it's something frightfully uninteresting. Let's be about it, shall we?
164163TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_150It might be a bit of a tight squeeze with the five of us, but we'll manage. Perhaps Urianger can sit on top of our luggage?
165164TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_YESNO_001Depart for the Empty?
166165TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_RYNE_000_160Everything seems fine here, as far as I can tell. As for Gaia, she hasn't started attacking anything yet, so I'll take that as a good sign.
167166TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_THANCRED_000_161As usual, we should keep our sojourn here as brief as possible. Let's tend to business quickly.
168167TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_URIANGER_000_162I had hoped that, during our absence, the rebalancing of ambient aether might work further change. Alas, 'twas not to be...
169168TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_165So, there it is...
170169TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_170Eden... Where I'll find the answers I seek.
171170TEXT_LUCKRA201_03787_GAIA_000_171The bringer of the Flood, the first sin eater. Would it lead me to my past, or my future?
