10TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_SEQ_00Something seems to be weighing on Urianger's mind.
21TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_SEQ_01Before your party seeks out the Ea to hear the fundamental truth they discovered, Urianger bids you and G'raha Tia assist him in an investigation. To that end do you follow him outside the abode of the Ea, to the wellspring of regret.
32TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_SEQ_02Upon arriving at the spring, Urianger confesses that the investigation was but a pretense to speak in private. He proceeds to review the nature of Meteion, presenting his theory that she visited the home worlds of both the dragons and the Ea while they yet lived. This allowed her to take their most heartfelt emotions as her own, and their fervent desire for the end is what terminates your path in Ultima Thule. Should you struggle to find the way forward, the Archon advises, you must seek those souls that yearn for oblivion more desperately than any other. Though he does not say the words, his readiness for what he knows will come is plain to you and G'raha Tia, and it is with a tinge of sadness that you watch him walk off.
43TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_SEQ_03After a moment's silence, G'raha Tia sets out to join the rest of your comrades in Elegeia, and you follow on after him.
54TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_SEQ_04With your party assembled, Coph-coodg and their fellows begin recounting their tale. They reveal that the universe has been expanding since it came into being, and will continue to do so until all heavenly bodies freeze over in an eternal ice age. The Ea could not find a way to prevent this eventuality, and thus did their society, once a bastion of science and enlightenment, fall stagnant. Believing that everything is futile, they came to yearn for the end, and now urge you to embrace your ignorance. But Y'shtola is not to be deterred from her pursuit of knowledge, and together with Urianger's unwavering resolve to aid his comrades, the two succeed in rekindling the light of an extinguished civilization. Your final destination is the dead star that looms high overhead. It is there that the true Meteion abides─there that she prepares her gift of death eternal for all life. Your gaze firmly fixed upon her lifeless domain, you press on in your quest to silence her song.

4948TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_ALPHINAUD_000_000'Tis true that a lack of knowledge can beget fear. Therefore, in theory, by acquiring all knowledge, it may be possible to attain peace.
5049TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_ALPHINAUD_000_001But as Hydaelyn told us, all those peoples who attempted to free their worlds from life's woes met with failure.
5150TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_ALPHINAUD_000_002And the Ea are among them, as their presence here indicates. The tale we are about to hear will not be a happy one.
5251TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_ALISAIE_000_005You may be intimately familiar with a problem─know it like the back of your hand─yet be powerless to solve it.
5352TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_ALISAIE_000_006In the course of my struggles, I've often been made keenly aware of this fact. I wonder, have the Ea never felt the same frustration?
5453TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_YSHTOLA_000_010Before we hear the climax of the Ea's tale, mayhap I should speak of...
5554TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_YSHTOLA_000_011...On second thought, it would only be a distraction. We will talk more when the time is right.
5655TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_015To define the laws of creation would have been no small feat, even for the Ea. Nay, having eternal life, and hence no sense of haste, would only have made it harder.
5756TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_016Such tremendous drive for knowledge they once must have had, and I struggle to reconcile it with the listless beings before us. Whatever answers they found, it did not bring them happiness.
5857TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_020Ere we join the Ea, there is one trifling matter I would fain investigate.
5958TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_021Player, G'raha Tia─might I trouble you for your assistance?
6059TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_022But of course.
6160TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_023My thanks. We shall head outside the abode, if you would kindly follow me.
6261TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_YSHTOLA_000_024I know not what mischief you are plotting, Urianger...but I trust you have our best interests at heart.
6362TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_YSHTOLA_000_025The rest of us shall go on ahead to Elegeia. Lest you worry, we won't start without you.
6463TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_ALPHINAUD_000_030There is naught but desert out there. What could Urianger wish to investigate?
6564TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_ALISAIE_000_035As long as Urianger explains himself to you, then I shall be satisfied. Do lend him an ear in my stead.
6665TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_YSHTOLA_000_040Go on and assist Urianger with his mysterious task. We shall wait for you.
6766TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_045A spring, and a sizable one at that... I hadn't noticed it amidst the dunes.
6867TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_050Aye, this place shall serve.
6968TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_051Is it the spring that you wished to investigate?
7069TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_052Pray forgive me, my friends...but there is naught to investigate.
7170TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_053'Twas but a pretense to speak in private.
7271TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_054You have our undivided attention.
7372TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_055As we have established, here in Ultima Thule, those denizens of ruined stars are recreated in their twilight days.
7473TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_056Yet one question doth arise in my mind.
7574TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_057So faithfully formed are the simulacra, they believe themselves yet amongst the living. How dost thou suppose this is possible?
7675TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_Q1_000_058What will you say?
7776TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_A1_000_059Meteion has taken their hearts unto herself.
7877TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_A1_000_060Meteion made contact with them while they still lived.
7978TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_A1_000_061I couldn't begin to guess...
8079TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_062I'm inclined to agree. If Meteion can take the emotions of others as her own, I daresay she would be able to recreate them more faithfully than had she relied on any historical account.
8180TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_063By which logic, she must have visited them while they still lived─the dragons and the Ea both!
8281TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_064Of course! She must have visited the stars of the dragons and the Ea before either race perished in their entirety.
8382TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_065Thus could she make their emotions her own, and with them create more faithful simulacra than had she relied on any historical account.
8483TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_066Wait... What if Meteion visited the dragons and the Ea while they still lived?
8584TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_067If so, she could have made their emotions her own, and with them create more faithful simulacra than had she relied on any historical account.
8685TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_068So too did I theorize and, upon that assumption, consider how those two races may have met their demise.
8786TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_069According to thine own tale, Meteion perceiveth the emotions of those nearby as her own.
8887TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_070A heightened sense of empathy intrinsic to her nature as an entelechy.
8988TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_071In the course of her starfaring journey, if she encountered beings who strongly desired a cessation of their existence...
9089TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_072She would be powerless before that desire.
9190TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_073Even as she possesseth the power to grant it─the power of dynamis.
9291TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_074'Tis my supposition that, overwhelmed by their longing for death, Meteion did unleash dynamis and ushered the dragons and the Ea unto their doom.
9392TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_075Of course, such was not always the outcome; full many stars did she find already lost to ruin.
9493TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_076In order to create a terminus, however, the fervent desire for the end is essential.
9594TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_077Therefore, should you struggle to find the way forward, pray ask yourselves this: in the place where you stand, whose is the soul that yearneth most desperately for oblivion?
9695TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_078Why do you tell us this now?
9796TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_079Ne'er again would I betray your trust. This pledge I did make to my comrades. In bringing thee into my confidence, I would remain true to my word.
9897TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_080As for thee... Let us consider it my fitting reward for the secrets I harbored for the Crystal Exarch.
9998TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_081I once placed my faith in thy chosen path, walking at thy side full knowing that we were bound for thy demise.
10099TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_082I ask now that thou returnest the favor, and abide in faith as I fulfill mine own destiny.
101100TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_083If you say my debt has come due, how am I to refuse?
102101TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_084'Tis indelicate of me, I know full well, and I can but beg thy forgiveness.
103102TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_085Yet even if I must needs go to such lengths, I cannot well feign ignorance of the answer I have found within...
104103TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_086The answer to the question: in what moment might I stand strongest?
105104TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_087After all that we've been through, I will say only this.
106105TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_088Do what you must. Do what you must, and see your conviction through.
107106TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_089I shall, my friend. I shall.
108107TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_090Without further ado, then, let us go to join our comrades.
109108TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_100...
110109TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_101Let us be off too. To Elegeia.
111110TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_ALPHINAUD_000_110I understand you've taken care of business. If you are ready to begin, then so are we.
112111TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_ALISAIE_000_115While we waited, we mentioned our star's situation to the Ea. They nodded sagely...or something to that effect.
113112TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_URIANGER_000_120Come, let us hear the Ea's tale, and learn what caused such enlightened beings to crave nihility.
114113TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_GRAHATIA_000_125...Don't mind me.
115114TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_COPHCOODG_000_130Oh, you are here already? Your comrades said you would be late...
116115TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_LAHLAAKH_000_135We have prepared for our recounting. To facilitate comprehension, the information will be simplified to match your primitive minds.
117116TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_DEWDEEKH_000_140Your companion in front─the one called Y'shtola. She seems the keenest to learn the truth. I pity her...
118117TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_NEHNEEDG_000_145It would seem your star, too, has been plunged into a panic-induced cataclysm. We hope that our tale will not serve to exacerbate it...
119118TEXT_AKTKMG109_04458_YSHTOLA_000_150It seems everyone is accounted for. Shall we, then?
