5	1	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_SEQ_01	Although Themis respects that Erichthonios may need space after recent events, he is also eager to get the investigation back on track. He suggests lending an ear to Erichthonios's troubles, hoping to give the warder a chance to air his doubts and misgivings.
6	2	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_SEQ_02	Erichthonios reveals his fraught past with Lahabrea, his father. Although the gaoler learned the art of shackles from said man, there is little else connecting father and son, and when Erichthonios's mother─previous chief warden of Pandæmonium─passed away, Lahabrea assumed her position with characteristic stoicism. Although there is surely more to the story, Erichthonios changes the subject to Hesperos and the battle ahead. After some discussion, you decide that he should be tracked down with the utmost haste and sealed away with interment magicks, that he might be questioned and his motives made clear. Although Hesperos's mastery of creation magicks means that you must face him in an unfavorable battle, hope ever remains in your heart. ※Asphodelos: The Fourth Circle can be accessed via the Duty Finder.
7	3	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_SEQ_03	Hesperos throws every devious trick he can─along with no small amount of theatrics─at you and your band of illusive heroes, but eventually he falls before your combined might. All that remains is to inter him with the selfsame magic he once held dominion over...
8	4	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_SEQ_04	Your hopes to detain Hesperos for questioning are thwarted when he brings an end to his own life, his essence and secrets returning to the star. While this leaves many questions unanswered, Erichthonios is eager to begin rescuing his colleagues and the subjects he is charged with safekeeping. Themis takes control of Asphodelos, but as he does, he senses a presence from deeper within the facility─and no sooner does he inform you of this discovery than a ward appears to block your way forward. Stymied, Themis suggests withdrawing for now, that he might better gauge this new threat.
9	5	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_SEQ_05	With room to think, Themis concludes that Hesperos was not the one behind the chaos in Pandæmonium, and suggests that the true mastermind is hiding deeper underground. To progress further, however, you must find a way to surpass the obstruction blocking the entrance to Abyssos, a feat which may take some time. Themis and Erichthonios encourage you to rest until you are needed once more, and perhaps in the meantime return to Aporia to apprise Professor Claudien of your exploits.
10	6	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_SEQ_06	Claudien listens to your report on the events in Elpis with both interest and growing concern. He seems convinced that your success in the past is crucial to maintaining the present, and assures you that his team will devote their every effort to aid you. You return the crystal to him so that they can continue their research into its origins, and as your allies in the past have also done, he suggests that you catch some well-earned rest until further developments occur.

53	49	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_010	Much as I am loath to disturb Erichthonios so soon after what just occurred, I am afraid circumstances do not afford us the luxury of time.
54	50	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_011	Perhaps it will do him well to speak about recent events. Concerning both the keyward...and his father.
55	51	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_020	He seemed reticent to say aught concerning Lahabrea when the subject was broached. Doubtless his relationship with his father is a fraught one.
56	52	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_030	The creation of the ward which surrounds Pandæmonium was an astounding feat of magical prowess. A feat accomplished by none other than Lahabrea...
57	53	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_031	That both my father and I can bind others in chains is perhaps the only thing that we have in common.
58	54	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_032	Ah, so it is true.
59	55	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_033	Aye, I'm Lahabrea's son. Bereft of his talent for magicks or his brilliant mind, but his son nonetheless. Surely this doesn't come entirely as a surprise to you.
60	56	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_034	Nay... I had an inkling when you said you had practiced aetherial shackles since childhood. Assuming you haven't been employed here <Emphasis>quite</Emphasis> that long, it had to indicate some long-held connection with Lahabrea.
61	57	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_035	'Twas Lahabrea that taught me how to cast aetherial shackles, but that was it. My further education was overseen by the Words of Lahabrea─more specifically my mother, who was a researcher there.
62	58	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ETHEMIS_000_036	You did speak of Athena, chief keyward before Lahabrea. She is your mother, yes?
63	59	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_037	How astute. I can see now why you were chosen to lead this investigation.
64	60	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_100_037	You've the right of it. Athena was my mother, and it was she who invited me to join her here. Lahabrea had nothing to do with it.
65	61	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_038	I see there is little love lost between you two. What I cannot see is why Lahabrea was appointed chief keyward when another was already in place.
66	62	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_039	...<Emphasis>Was</Emphasis> in place. My mother is no longer with us.
67	63	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_040	And Lahabrea was all too eager to assume her responsibilities, with nary a moment spared to mourn her. What love do I owe him now, when he offered not one drop of compassion then?
68	64	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_041	Ah...I see. “She is no longer with us.” An expression to convey the end of a life.
69	65	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_042	I have known only the public face of Lahabrea. While he is lauded for his ability to maintain composure in the face of unnerving circumstances, I must admit that oft he comes across as...cold.
70	66	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_044	...Apologies, but can we speak of something else? This topic isn't an easy one for me to discuss...
71	67	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_045	Of course. There are more pressing matters at hand, after all. Namely, how to deal with Hesperos.
72	68	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_046	We have yet to see the other warders. Judging by what we know, we can surmise that Hesperos has confined them somewhere beyond our grasp.
73	69	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_047	And now that he is aware of our presence, he will be preparing for our next encounter. We cannot expect to face him on equal footing. Quite the opposite, in fact.
74	70	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_049	Every moment we spend chasing after the creations is another moment Hesperos can contrive another advantage for himself. The wisest course would be to find him first and foremost.
75	71	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_050	He said that he has become one with the creations...perhaps that means he is vulnerable to interment?
76	72	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_051	In theory, that should be possible. However, is it enough merely to confine him? After all he has done?
77	73	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_052	I need to know why. I need to know what drove him to forsake everything he's worked for.
78	74	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_053	Was it all truly so that he could serve his master? To my mind, he's merely put Lahabrea's own work at risk in trade for some nebulous power.
79	75	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_054	Lahabrea is the chief keyward of Pandæmonium─how would throwing it into disarray win his favor? It doesn't make any sense...
80	76	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_055	I share your curiosity, but we must consider that our enemy has us at a disadvantage in every sense. ...What do you think? Should we seek to put him in fetters, or would it be too dangerous to allow him quarter?
81	77	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_Q2_000_200	What will you say?
82	78	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_A1_000_200	I want answers too.
83	79	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_A2_000_200	If you fail to confine him, I can always strike him down.
84	80	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_060	Daring as ever, I see. I know not which trials you have faced in your past, but to see you so certain is all the convincing I need. Very well, let us try Erichthonios's plan.
85	81	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_061	Thank you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
86	82	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_062	I believe I can shed some light on the nature of our foe. When Hesperos spoke with us, I noticed he bore the telltale fangs of the vrykolakas, a beast which feeds off the aether of its prey. Likely that is the creation Hesperos merged his essence with.
87	83	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_063	And we know all too well that he can change the environment around himself at will. The battle will not be an easy one, but I believe in our victory.
88	84	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_070	That Hesperos possessed such a lust for power that he would resort to this... Clearly I misjudged him. I'd like nothing more than to strike him down myself, but seeing you wipe that arrogant grin off his face will taste just as sweet.
89	85	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_075	He called himself a hemitheos, and claimed immortality. I know not how he discovered this dark art, but his actions do not bespeak a sound mind.
90	86	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_500	Now, Themis. We end this here!
91	87	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_HESPEROS_000_501	Fools... I will not be put in chains...
92	88	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_HESPEROS_000_502	To think that I would fall before one such as you. Perhaps I should have treated you as more than a mere nuisance.
93	89	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_HESPEROS_000_503	Despite your victory, you shall never have the knowledge you seek. The secrets of my transformation, the secrets of my deception─they shall return to the star with me!
94	90	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_504	You are wasting your breath, Hesperos. We have the upper hand now, surely you can see that.
95	91	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_HESPEROS_000_505	Yes, yes. My repertoire is not exhausted yet, however... Although I have failed, my end shall be on my terms.
96	92	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_HESPEROS_000_506	I remain loyal to my very last... Come what may, I die...with dignity...
97	93	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_507	...How did your ambition lead you so astray, Hesperos? You were better than that.
98	94	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_508	Your star shone more brightly than any other in Pandæmonium. You had Lahabrea's respect, his trust─what more did you seek? That you would forsake all that, and sully your legacy besides...
99	95	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_509	He became so blinded by his own desires that he lost sight of his duty. In the end, he lost everything, and his plans lie in tatters. I fail to see any dignity in that.
100	96	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_510	Even so, I would have liked to know why he chose this path.
101	97	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_511	Hesperos's infatuation with your father was his undoing. Perhaps he was jealous that fate had chosen you, and not him, to be Lahabrea's son. So terrible did this jealousy become that he sought verboten power─power that Lahabrea would be unable to ignore.
102	98	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_512	How does a pursuit for respect warp one's heart so? How does infatuation with one person turn into contempt for everyone else? I've never heard of such a thing.
103	99	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_Q1_000_100	What will you say?
104	100	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_A1_000_100	It's not as uncommon as you might think.
105	101	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_A2_000_100	It happens, but that doesn't mean it's right.
106	102	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_520	I see... I admit I cannot but find it vexing, but perhaps that signifies naught but my <Emphasis>own</Emphasis> capacity for bitterness...
107	103	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_521	I do understand what it is to have a beacon to follow in dark times─a person you trust to guide you true. How it is to desperately wish their light would fall upon you again.
108	104	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_522	...But we have spent enough time assuming the intentions of the departed─there are the living to consider. We must find the other warders and round up the remaining creations forthwith. Of that, at least, we can be certain.
109	105	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_523	I believe I can be of help in that matter.
110	106	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_524	The influence of Hesperos's magic is fading throughout Asphodelos. Now is the perfect opportunity to seize control of the facilities and restore things to their original state.
111	107	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_100_524	Seize control...? Can you really do that?
112	108	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_525	What!? What is this presence?

118	114	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_531	Let us return to the gates for now. I should like to appraise the situation from there.
119	115	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_532	Needless to say, our investigation is far from over.
120	116	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_600	Just when I had thought our work to be done... Did this tragedy unfold all throughout Pandæmonium?
121	117	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_610	Although we have defeated Hesperos, it appears we have but scratched the surface of Pandæmonium's troubles.
122	118	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_611	My head is still swimming with questions, but could this mean that Hesperos wasn't actually behind this?
123	119	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_612	It is a stark possibility, yes. The root of this crisis may lie somewhere much deeper than even Abyssos.
124	120	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_100_612	When we first encountered you, you said the memories of your escape were vague and that your senses were muddled. I believe this was more than the result of a panicked mind─you were made to feel this way by a powerful magical influence.
125	121	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_613	It is possible that this same magic could have poisoned Hesperos's heart, twisting his affection for Lahabrea into a burning obsession. Then, in his altered state, he was made an offer of power he could not refuse...
126	122	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_614	Wait... Are you suggesting that someone else turned Hesperos into that...thing? If so, it stands to reason that they wouldn't stop at him...
127	123	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_615	Indeed. Our mysterious mastermind does not lack for subjects for his experiments. For more potential hemitheoi.
128	124	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_616	If what you're saying is true, then my colleagues...they're doomed to share the same fate as Hesperos.
129	125	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_617	Do not lose heart yet, Erichthonios. Hesperos challenged us alone, and that tells me that the process of his creation was a long and taxing one. If he was the first hemitheos, then the rest of the warders are likely still alive.
130	126	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_618	However, much as I would like to hasten deeper into Pandæmonium, the way forward is sealed off. We must focus our efforts on finding a way through.
131	127	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_619	With the creations still having free rein of Asphodelos, that won't be easy...
132	128	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_620	On the contrary, I yet retain control of these circles, and thus can wield interment magick within their halls at will. The creatures will pose no threat to us.
133	129	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_621	Just like that!? Then nothing's stopping us from returning order to Asphodelos.
134	130	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_622	Just so. I shall require your expertise to keep the peace after the subjects have been returned to their confinement, however. You are Asphodelos's sole remaining warder, after all.
135	131	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_623	Truth be told, I did not expect this investigation to become so involved. Of course, I would like to resolve matters here without resorting to outside help, but...
136	132	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_624	Do you mean to send a report to Lahabrea?
137	133	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_625	'Tis too soon to say. Let us first find a way into Abyssos. It would be best to withhold our judgment until we have ascertained the whereabouts of the other warders and the identity of the party responsible for their disappearance.
138	134	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_626	Agreed. Even so, if it means saving even a single life within Pandæmonium, then I'm not above asking Lahabrea for help...should it come to that.
139	135	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_627	Recent discoveries certainly paint Hesperos's actions in a new light... The number of unknown elements in this investigation grows, and we must proceed forward with the utmost caution.
140	136	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_628	To that end, Erichthonios and I shall remain here for the time being. Much as I enjoy your company, I do not believe we shall be needing protection so long as we remain in Asphodelos.
141	137	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_629	You should take this time to rest. Surely you are weary, and there may be more battles ahead of us. Themis's burden may grow heavier in your absence, but he's shown that he's more than capable to bear it.
142	138	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_100_629	Still, I would help wheresoever I'm able. All we've achieved so far has been thanks to you two, and I mean to repay the debt I owe. I don't know what use I can be outside of placating the creatures, but I'll find a way.
143	139	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_630	Nonsense, you owe us nothing. It was thanks to your knowledge of the magicks which govern this place that we were able to come this far. Elsewise we would have likely succumbed to the hippokampos's assault.
144	140	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_100_630	Each of us has arrived at this dire pass by separate paths, but it is only by combining our respective expertise that we will reach the end of it and see Pandæmonium saved.
145	141	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_101_630	Thank you, Themis. Hesperos's words seem to have affected me more than I realize. Together we've come this far, and together we'll reach the end.
146	142	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_102_630	I have no doubt we will. Even so, let us allow <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> rest.
147	143	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_THEMIS_000_631	Besides, you have someone awaiting a report on your progress, yes? I daresay your story will be much more than they ever imagined.
148	144	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_640	Ah, so you don't serve the Convocation. I suppose I needn't worry about you going behind our backs to curry favor with Lahabrea.
149	145	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_ERICHTHONIOS_000_645	My friend would be very curious to hear what has occurred here. However, I fear that if I left Pandæmonium, the wards protecting it would quickly deteriorate. I hope <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> does not mind assuming some of my duties in the meantime.
150	146	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_NEMJIJI_000_650	At the professor's behest, we have kept our reports on recent events as vague as we can manage. Even if we wished to do otherwise, not much of note has transpired here as of late...
151	147	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_RUISSENAUD_000_655	Professor Claudien has tasked <Emphasis>me</Emphasis> with recording the aetherial signatures of each and every crystal in his recent orders. As a lowly assistant, I'm honored to be given such an enormous and monumental assignment!
152	148	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_700	Welcome, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Back from the past none the worse for wear, I see. So, what did you find?
153	149	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_701	So there is evil afoot in Pandæmonium─an already ominous place, I must say. Mythic beasts and missing warders... Truly, we are fortunate to see you returned to us in one piece.
154	150	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_NEMJIJI_000_702	It appears the voice <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> heard from the crystal spoke the truth. As for who left it behind, and why, those are yet questions to be answered.
155	151	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_703	Indeed. It could be someone who lived among the ancients, or it could be someone trying to avert a tragedy from the future. Much remains shrouded in mystery.
156	152	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_704	Yet ilm by ilm, we shall unveil that mystery. With the help of <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, of course! By <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> actions was the fabric of the past reshaped, yet <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> returns to the same present <If(PlayerParameter(4))>she<Else/>he</If> left.
157	153	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_705	Which can only mean one thing: that <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> intervention in Pandæmonium's crisis is but one of the countless building blocks of history upon which our present has been built.
158	154	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_706	There is no telling what consequences would arise if we stopped pursuing this matter now. Whatever plot is unraveling within Pandæmonium, we must not let it reach its conclusion. If one of those creatures should escape, what ripples would carry forth to the future?
159	155	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_707	They might wreak havoc upon the world of the ancients, and their despair would leave an indelible mark upon history's pages. That despair would only feed the terrible beasts that arose during the Final Days.
160	156	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_RUISSENAUD_000_708	The first Final Days already had a drastic effect on the eons that followed. If the scars it left were made even deeper, then we risk losing our present entirely...
161	157	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_709	Whatever the cost, our connection with the future of Elpis must be preserved. I know I have asked much of you already, but can I count on you to continue your work in Pandæmonium?
162	158	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_710	Your tireless efforts are much appreciated. If there is aught we can do to ease your burden, you need only say the word.
163	159	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_711	Speaking of which, might you return the crystal into our keeping? While we cannot accompany you to the past, perhaps something can be gained by researching it further.
164	160	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_712	Ah, it shines just as splendidly as the day we met! We shall begin work right away, but I cannot promise any meaningful results for some time. And as matters in Elpis seem to be in a similar state, I must ask that you rest.
165	161	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_100_712	But before that, allow me to make an introduction. As our research moves into its critical stage, I found it only suitable to recruit another assistant.
166	162	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_101_712	Mylenie is an expert in armaments from throughout history, be they from the far-flung past or made in the most modern forges. Should you find aught of interest in your adventures, bring it here and she will be glad to offer her services.
167	163	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_102_712	We know researchers in numerous fields that would love to get their hands on artifacts from bygone eras, and would give you goods in return that should aid you in trials ahead.
168	164	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_103_712	Furthermore, if you ever wish to peruse the records of events you have reported here, Nemjiji has been taking faithful and thorough notes. She is at your complete disposal.
169	165	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_104_712	...I sense that we have embarked upon something monumental. Something that will dwarf all else I have accomplished in my many years of research.
170	166	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_105_712	I can think of no greater honor, nor reassurance, than to have your capable assistance in this endeavor. If there is anything to be found that will contribute to your success, we shall find it.
171	167	TEXT_AKTKRA105_04479_CLAUDIEN_000_713	We shall not rest until we have unlocked the mysteries of this crystal! And you will be the first to know when we do.
