10TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_SEQ_00Lahabrea would discuss lingering questions concerning Athena.
21TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_SEQ_01Given what you know so far, Lahabrea suggests that recent events likely began with Professor Claudien being lured to Azys Lla by the Heart of Sabik's aetherial signature, which led to Athena's awakening. Much remains unclear, however, and the only path to answers lies through Pandæmonium's final gate─and through Themis. While you do not relish facing your quondam ally in battle, you hold on to the hope that Athena's spell can be broken, and make ready to set forth to wherever he awaits. ※Anabaseios: The Eleventh Circle can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
32TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_SEQ_02Themis proves to be an adversary worthy of his station, but you emerge victorious against the emissary. Although he is injured, his aether remains stable─for how long, however, is uncertain.
43TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_SEQ_03By reinforcing Themis's dissipating aether with your own, you manage to grant him extra time in your own age. He is grateful for your efforts, and vows to judge Athena's actions as his position demands. You return to the entrance of Pandæmonium, where Erichthonios and Lahabrea stand eager to hear what the now-freed emissary has to say.
54TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_SEQ_04Themis reveals that Athena's vessel, which will become her next stepping stone toward godhood, is none other than Professor Claudien. Although this ought to be impossible, Themis's time as Athena's puppet provided useful insight in how it works, as he observed her calling Claudien by a familiar name─Erichthonios. This revelation is a shock to all present, save Lahabrea, whose cryptic statement suggests he saw it coming for some time.

4948TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_000The monster unleashed Ultima? I can only guess that it was Athena's hand that placed such magic within the Heart of Sabik...if so, it's only natural she would gift her own creations with such terrible power.
5049TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_010...I have told you all I know of Athena and the many secrets she kept hidden from the world.
5150TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_011If she indeed stored her memories within the Heart of Sabik, we must ask ourselves how they were awakened in this age. When was the crystal last sighted?
5251TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_Q1_000_000What will you say?
5352TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_A1_000_000During my fight with the Ultima Weapon.
5453TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_A2_000_000In the hands of the Ascians, presumably.
5554TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_014In which you triumphed, but failed to recover the Heart. Yet according to your colleagues, there was another on the battlefield that day. An Ascian...
5655TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_020Based on the information your colleagues provided, I presume the same. If an Ascian was present during your defeat of the Ultima Weapon, it stands to reason that he recovered the Heart.
5756TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_025And this selfsame Ascian was later struck down at a location known as the “Aetherochemical Research Facility.”
5857TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_100_025I've heard that name...and recently! The site of Professor Claudien's disappearance.
5958TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_101_025Indeed. He was tracing an aetherial signature resembling that of the memory crystal in his possession─a signature that may well have belonged to the Heart of Sabik. In which case, it is no coincidence that Athena's awakening followed.
6059TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_026But what reason would he have to bring her back to life? Was his mind not his own?
6160TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_027...Yet more questions without answers.
6261TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_100_027Although Athena's essence is that of memory, her magicks have not suffered for lack of a physical body. As the world is now, it should not be possible, but she must have found a suitable vessel.
6362TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_101_027If Elidibus is to be believed, she readies this vessel for godhood─and is perilously close to success.
6463TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_102_027It beggars belief. As you well know, you were the lynchpin of her ambition.
6564TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_028Yours was the only form that could contain the immense power Athena required, and it has long since turned to dust.
6665TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_031As pleasant as this discussion is, we require more information if we're to unravel this mystery.
6766TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_032You know who awaits you, Player: Themis. I fear you won't find him so cooperative as we're accustomed to.
6867TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_100_032We know not how vast the space beyond these gates may be, but somewhere within lurks Athena, with Elidibus leashed at her side.
6968TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_033...This may be a simplistic theory, but hear me out. If Themis arose from his memories intact, he will be eager to see reason. We need only break the magicks that bind him to regain our old ally.
7069TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_034When I had fallen under Hephaistos's influence, you didn't stop trying until I was freed. I would ask that you do the same for Themis.
7170TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_035Though none of us are real in the conventional sense, I feel it must be done. Themis would never have wished to be your enemy.
7271TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_036While Erichthonios's perspective is a sentimental one, Elidibus may possess privileged knowledge. To question him unimpeded by magicks would be ideal.
7372TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_037Agdistis broke free of her bonds in her final moments, suggesting that Athena's hold weakens under the weight of combat. You might use the same principle to unshackle Elidibus's mind.
7473TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_038But remember that our very nature is fragile. Even if he inhabits a vessel with which to meet you in battle, I am certain it is not meant to endure.
7574TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_039If left weakened for too long, his aether may dissipate back into the aetherial sea. You had best act quickly.
7675TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_050We know not for how long we'll have free rein to go between here and the Aitiascope. We'll remain here for now unless absolutely necessary.
7776TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_055The crystal? I have returned it to the safekeeping of your colleagues. I could find nothing new amongst the memories stored within.
7877TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_056This space, on the other hand, is fascinating. Wrought by the same power the keywards wielded, perhaps.
7978TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_400The fog...has lifted. I knew that Athena's magicks magnified the desires of their victim at the expense of aught else, but I never guessed what desire of mine she could exploit...
8079TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_401Since the moment we met, I have made plain my interest in you─my desire to understand your nature. I suppose that curiosity extended to how each of us would fare in a match of strength.
8180TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_402What is this?
8281TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_403Free... Then I am no longer needed.
8382TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_404Do not look so crestfallen, my friend. These few moments of clarity are more than I could have asked for.
8483TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_Q1_000_100What will you say?
8584TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_A1_000_100*We* need you, Themis.
8685TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_A2_000_100Your work isn't over yet.
8786TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_A3_000_100You must render judgment of Athena's actions.
8887TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_405This warmth... Your aether...
8988TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_406You've grasped the fraying strands of my being and tied them together with your own...
9089TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_407Nevertheless, I fear that I am here on borrowed time.
9190TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_408I only hope that I can see you through the last of our battles. Until then, I will cherish every moment.
9291TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_409I am Elidibus...the Emissary.
9392TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_410As such, it falls upon me to judge Athena, who would disrupt our carefully maintained balance to fulfill her own desires. I swear I shall not waver in this duty.
9493TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_411Let us return to Erichthonios and Lahabrea. There is much I would share with you before we embark upon our final ascent.
9594TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_420As I surmised, Elidibus was constructed with the strength to see your battle done. Yet I fear his aether may not sustain him through another...
9695TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_425The four of us are together once again. Although I may not have directly experienced our adventures, my memories make our bonds as real as any other.
9796TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_450Themis, it's good to see you. I knew Player would guide you to our side once again.
9897TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_451I am grateful she had the patience to tolerate my lapse in manners. Athena's hold upon me is broken, and I pledge every moment of my remaining time to seeing that she answer for her deeds.
9998TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_452Very good. To that end, I would have you share what you know of her plan.
10099TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_453Of course. As I mentioned, Athena possesses a vessel that may serve in the creation of a god.
101100TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_100_453It is someone Player knows well─a man by the name of Claudien. By a twist of fate, his body proved to be ideal for Athena's purpose.
102101TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_455The creation of a person requires not just body, soul, or memory, but rather all three.
103102TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_100_455We are made from the memories of our ancient counterparts, etched upon drifting souls and given form through the infusion of aether. We lack a physical body, yet you can see and feel us all the same.
104103TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_101_455Athena is different. She has carved her memories into Claudien's soul while it was still within its body, and thus made both her own.
105104TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_102_455But even she is prone to error. After the sundering, beings became more fragile in both body and soul, and this difference prevents Athena from realizing the full extent of her desires.
106105TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_103_455So that's why she has turned her sights toward Player... Her uncommon strength rivals even the mightiest of our age.
107106TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_104_455By scrutinizing her feats in battle, Athena aims to deduce the secret of Player's prowess and use it to fortify her own vessel. Only then will the culmination of her research be at hand.
108107TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_Q1_000_200What will you say?
109108TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_A1_000_200We have to save Claudien!
110109TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_A2_000_200Can't we simply remove Athena's memories from Claudien's body?
111110TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_A3_000_200Then to fight Athena, we must fight Claudien as well...
112111TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_460An arduous task, but not impossible.
113112TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_465We need not hasten to the man's destruction.
114113TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_470Athena can inscribe herself upon another's soul, but she cannot erase its will. If we awaken Claudien's spirit to the reality of his bondage, he might be compelled to wrest his body from Athena's clutches.
115114TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_473We still don't know why she chose Claudien... What makes him more suited than anyone else?
116115TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_474Although I have never spoken to Claudien, I did witness an incident that may prove revelatory.
117116TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_THEMIS_000_475When instructing the vessel to do her bidding, she called it by a familiar name─Erichthonios.
118117TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_ERICHTHONIOS_000_476What!? Why would she...?
119118TEXT_AKTKRA303_04758_LAHABREA_000_477It is as I thought...
