10TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_SEQ_00Lahabrea would discuss the plan to bring about Athena's end.
21TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_SEQ_01It seems that Lahabrea has conjured a plan to free Claudien, though he is less than forthcoming with the details. For the time being, he tasks you with standing against his former lover, that she may be weak enough for his scheme to succeed. And so you steel your spirits for one final excursion into Athena's gate. ※Anabaseios: The Twelfth Circle can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
32TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_SEQ_02As befits one who has laid many a god low and lived to tell of it, you remain unshaken by Athena's attempts to plunge you into the abyss. Despite her power to warp nature itself, you emerge triumphant and ready to see her evil experiments ended for good.
43TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_SEQ_03Although defeated, Athena yet lives. She is more than happy to reveal that her grand design was to replace life upon Etheirys with superior beings of her creation, and confirms that Erichthonios was never more than a tool for this end. Her ambitions now denied, she attempts to purge the aetherial sea with a burst of powerful magicks, but is stymied by the sudden awakening of Claudien's will, roused from its slumber by Erichthonios's memories. Her control over the body lost, Athena's memories are expelled, leaving her a powerless phantom. As the space that was once Pandæmonium begins to collapse as the forces holding it together vanish, Themis teleports you and Lahabrea to safety, leaving no witness to Athena's final moments.
54TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_SEQ_04While the loss of Erichthonios lies heavy in the hearts of all present, you rest assured that his sacrifice was not in vain. Peace is restored to the aetherial sea, but Claudien remains insensate. Themis says that he will stand vigil over the professor, and instructs you to rest until such time as you are needed.

4948TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_000Why would Athena use my name? More questions, and few answers to go around.
5049TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_005Our course of action is clear: we must lay Athena low and rescue Claudien. A difficult task, to be sure, but one which the present company is more than capable of achieving.
5150TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_020Themis, you may have just handed us the key to rescuing Claudien.
5251TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_021What must we do?
5352TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_022First and foremost, we must confront Athena. She must be made vulnerable, as Elidibus was.
5453TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_100_022Yet our opponent stands on the verge of godhood. As we are now, she would unmake us in an instant.
5554TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_023Player, we have no choice but to place the burden of our fate─and the fate of many more besides─squarely upon your shoulders. I trust you have no objections.
5655TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_Q1_000_000What will you say?
5756TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_A1_000_000God or no, I shall cast her down.
5857TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_A2_000_000It's a burden I'm used to carrying.
5958TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_A3_000_000Objections, no. Concerns, yes...
6059TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_025If you have faith in your victory, then so do I.
6160TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_030I imagine so. Ever have we relied upon your skill at arms.
6261TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_035Though we know not what form Athena will take, I have faith that your skill will see us through this trial, as it has many times before.
6362TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_040And we all appreciate Player's willingness to fling herself at the unknown. However, we have yet to hear how this will liberate Claudien...
6463TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_041...I have a plan. Do not trouble yourself over the details.
6564TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_042The same goes for you, Player. You must focus the entirety of your attention on Athena. She will not be easily bested, even by one of your prowess.
6665TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_043Then let us trust in Lahabrea, and prepare for the battle to come.
6766TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_044Before we face Athena, I must know...
6867TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_045If she had never discovered the auracite─had never fallen under its influence─would she have lived a normal life? Would she have been a mother to me?
6968TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_046I have asked myself the same questions. Questions with no answer, I fear.
7069TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_047But let us put them out of our mind. There is something we must discuss, and I would do so not as Lahabrea, but as a father to his son.
7170TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_050For now we place our trust in you. The rest must wait until we have Athena before us.
7271TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_055Right now, Athena must be the sole focus of your attention. She shall not hesitate to exploit any weakness she can sense.
7372TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_060Athena maintains absolute control over this space. Beyond the gate, she has doubtless built herself an abode worthy of a god, and now awaits the arrival of her supplicants...
7473TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_400Countless years I waited within that stifling crystal. And now, when my dream is finally within reach, you stand in my way.
7574TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_401Your “dream” is naught but selfish ambition. Its fulfillment would benefit only you.
7675TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_402And why, Athena? At the end of this road to godhood, what did you hope to find?
7776TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_403It matters not. The fact remains that she worked against the interests of the star.
7877TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_404Even so, I would hear her answer. I would know why my mother cast us aside.
7978TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_405How unlike you, Erichthonios. You were never so inquisitive before.
8079TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_406Having struck upon a hypothesis, there is but one thing the wise woman desires.
8180TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_100_406Irrefutable proof.
8281TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_407*My* theory was that any true god would see us as we are─imperfect. She would hammer out our flaws, and build something...greater.
8382TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_408To prove this could not but benefit the star! I would give it the perfect stewards, that it might shine brighter than any other.
8483TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_409And you would destroy the lives already upon it!
8584TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_410In that, I am no different from our peers. Over the course of eons, how many creations have we wrought? Such creatures cannot but usher their inferior predecessors into oblivion.
8685TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_411Even without our meddling, nature would take the selfsame course.
8786TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_412If the destination is the same, is it somehow worse to arrive there by the guidance of a god? I think not.
8887TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_413The auracite made such thoughts irresistible, perhaps. But it cannot have created them from whole cloth. This is Athena's truth.
8988TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_414What right have you to pass judgment? You were but a vessel for my masterwork─your purpose ends there. My only mistake was leaving you possessed of a soul.
9089TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_415...What are you saying?
9190TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_416Poor Erichthonios. Always the last to arrive at the obvious conclusion...
9291TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_100_416I gave birth to you for a single reason: that you might serve as my tool. And like any tool, I crafted you to suit my needs, that you might accept my essence when the time came.
9392TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_417Of course, I also made you more amenable to my demands, and ensured that you would feel a cloying affection for your dear mother. However, it seems that my tinkering was insufficient...
9493TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_418My very feelings were of your design?
9594TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_419You created a boy unable to grasp even the simplest magic. Ever hopelessly clinging to his mother's robes, unable to do otherwise. I was doomed from the start...
9695TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_420Yet here you are, standing in defiance of her design. You are more than what she made you!
9796TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_421I still feel the sting of it. But with pain comes clarity...
9897TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_422You ill deserve to wear the mantle of a god!
9998TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_423As stubborn as you are witless. If this star will not be mine, then it serves no purpose!
10099TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_424She aims to obliterate the aetherial sea and stem the flow of life!
101100TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_425...She will do no such thing.
102101TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_426Before the battle, Lahabrea told me I was the key to finishing this.
103102TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_427Although I am but an illusion, my soul has crossed eons to find its home in another. One whose body Athena has seen fit to purloin as her own.
104103TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_428Much of what I once was now resides in him. Should my memories seize this chance to follow suit, they may resound enough to wake his mind.
105104TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_429But Athena inhabits him still! What will become of you!?
106105TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_430I don't know, but if I can rouse his soul, perhaps it will disrupt Athena's hold. It's the best chance we have.
107106TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_431My whole life others have looked down upon me, but I've never given up searching for my purpose. Now I've found it.
108107TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_432This decision is yours to make, and yours alone.
109108TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_433Do as you will, my son. I know you shall make me proud.
110109TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_100_433Erichthonios...do not dare.
111110TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_434No! Stop this!
112111TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_435Your words hold sway over me no longer. My life is my own...
113112TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_436And I have found my true family!
114113TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_437Ungh...
115114TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_100_437My power...wanes... The vessel...rejects me!?
116115TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_438What is happening? Athena's magicks should be impotent with no body to fuel them...
117116TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_439Precisely. Athena was the sole force holding the space around Pandæmonium together, and now it crumbles...
118117TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_440Although little would change if we were buried here, we cannot let this be Player's final resting place.
119118TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_441Of all my miscalculations...to think that *you* would be my undoing. That you would even be capable of defying me...
120119TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_442Ah, is there more you would say to me?
121120TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_443Or have you decided to return to your dear mother's bosom? Have you brought Claudien back to me?
122121TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_444Apologies, but I am only the dregs of your own memory. I can do naught but watch as the evil you've wrought collapses, burying you under its weight.
123122TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ATHENA_000_445How disappointing... Truly, useless to the last.
124123TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_ERICHTHONIOS_000_446And who made me that way?
125124TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_NEMJIJI_000_505At least on the surface, Professor Claudien appears unharmed. We must wait for him to regain consciousness to judge anything beyond that, I fear...
126125TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_RUISSENAUD_000_510Questions, questions, and more questions! Why did Claudien set out by himself? What did he see? Oh, I do hope he wakes up soon!
127126TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_LAHABREA_000_515...
128127TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_550Although Erichthonios was naught but a collection of memories, I know his absence pains you.
129128TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_551But he acted with resolve, full aware of the potential consequences. Let us look back on this moment not with sorrow, but with pride.
130129TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_552You both are the heroes of the day. Athena's ambitions would have swallowed the world had you not stemmed their advance.
131130TEXT_AKTKRA304_04759_THEMIS_000_553We shall stay here, both to look over Professor Claudien and ensure that there are no further disturbances in the aetherial sea. You should rest─and I will not take no for an answer.
