Story scene script: Origin Island

GraceOh, Goddess of Lunares... Can you hear my words? Will I bring about the Ancient Disaster? Simply because I dreamed of seeing the outside world? Of seeing Reveria, with my own eyes...? If that is indeed the truth, then... as the one who invoked the disaster, I do not accept its finality. As the Shrine Maiden, I reject its truth. I shall risk my Life to see that my own desires do not cause the destruction of my land. I now understand my duty.
Butterfly Yuelia[Player]! I'm so glad you're up.
Butterfly YueliaI had an incredibly strange dream...
Butterfly YueliaI'm afraid I can't remember much about it, but...
Butterfly YueliaGrace was in it, and she kept calling me Goddess. I told her I wasn't a goddess, but—
Pam[Player]! Yuelia!
PamI just heard an awful ruckus from the storage room!
PamPlease come quickly!
Butterfly YueliaOh no. What is it now?
Butterfly YueliaLet's go check it out, [Player]!
Peachy...Giga?
PeachyGIGA GIGA GIGA!
Butterfly YueliaWHOA THERE! Relax!
Butterfly YueliaWhat are you doing here?
Butterfly YueliaWhere's Grace?
PeachyGiga, giga gigaga! Gig aag agaga!
PeachyGIGA!
Butterfly YueliaOh, man. Where is Noelia when she could actually be helpful...?
Butterfly YueliaUh...you want us to go back to Origin Island?
Butterfly YueliaCome on, [Player]. I hope Grace is OK! Maybe she was trying to tell me something in that dream!
PamI heard a terrible noise in the storage room.
PamThere it was again!
PamPlease go see what's happening in there!
PeachyGigiga gagigigi!
Butterfly YueliaIt feels...different here somehow. Is that just me?
NoeliaWell, look who finally decided to show up.
NoeliaYou heard about the island and came running, huh?
Butterfly YueliaWe haven't really heard anything—just a lot of "gigas." What's going on here?
NoeliaSo you have no idea? OK. Well...
NoeliaIn a nutshell, something very bad has happened on the island.
NoeliaStone giants of some type have been on a rampage. The whole island is in a panic.
Butterfly YueliaYou seem pretty calm.
NoeliaI'm trying to keep my head so I can figure out why this happened. On the inside, I'm terrified.
PeachyGiga!
Butterfly YueliaWhat is it, Peachy?
PeachyGigagigagiga!
Butterfly YueliaI have no idea what it's saying.
Butterfly YueliaNoelia, can you translate?
NoeliaSorry—she's speaking an ancient dialect of Furlin. Totally different from the modern one I speak.
Butterfly YueliaMaybe...our Furlin here can help?
Giga?
PeachyGigaga!
Gigagiga?
PeachyGigagagaga! Gigagiga!
Gigagigaga!
PeachyGigagi gigagi! Gigagagagagagagaga!
Gigagiga gigaga...
NoeliaOh...wow.
Butterfly YueliaWhat are they saying?
Gigagigigagagagi gigagigi! Gaaa!
NoeliaSomething about an Ancient Disaster being born in the Goddess Tower.
Butterfly YueliaSo the prophecy came true. That was fast.
Gigagiga gigagagaga.
Noelia...Grace girl has disappeared.
Butterfly YueliaWhat? Well, where is—
Butterfly YueliaOK, I stopped myself before I asked where she is.
PeachyGiga...
Butterfly YueliaOh, this is bad. I think Grace was trying to communicate with me in my dream!
Giga!
Gigagi gagigaaa!
PeachyGigagiga?
Gigaga! Gigagi! Gigagaga!
PeachyGigaa gigagagi...
Gigi...?
PeachyGigaaa gagagi...
NoeliaUh...should we leave you two alone?
NoeliaI need to check on something back in Reveria. I'll catch up with you, Yuelia.
NoeliaOh, get a cave, you two!
Gigagiga!
NoeliaFine, yeah, sure. Bring her with us.
NoeliaLet's just hurry up. I gotta meet a guy about a bird.
Butterfly YueliaI'm really worried about Grace, [Player]!
Butterfly YueliaLet's hurry to the tower!
Th-th-this island...is in terrible danger!
Monsters on a murderous rampage... Why did this have to happen to our peaceful little island?
Our island has been plunged into eternal night! Could this be the Ancient...you-know-what?!
This way is blocked for everyone's safety.
PamIs my storage room still in one piece?
Ancient SoldierI c-c-c-can't feel my legs...
Ancient SoldierI can. They're shaking so hard the ground is moving!
Butterfly YueliaWhat's going on?
Ancient SoldierWHO GOES THERE?! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!
Butterfly YueliaWhere's Grace?!
Ancient SoldierL-Lady Grace went ahead to the tower...alone.
Butterfly YueliaWhat? Why did you let her do that?!
Butterfly YueliaAren't you supposed to protect her from...from whatever is going on in there?
Ancient SoldierW-we would surely love to rescue Lady Grace, but...
Ancient Soldierif the legends are true, the Ancient Tower must now be crawling with ferocious monsters!
Ancient SoldierHonestly...we're all cowards.
Ancient SoldierJust up ahead, we spotted several of those stone giants prowling about...
Ancient SoldierUm...so they were right behind us, eh?
Ancient SoldierI'm trying to tell my body to move...but it doesn't seem to be listening!
Ancient SoldierYou coward! I'm fearlessly...standing here and... moving my eyes!
Butterfly YueliaAre these guys part of the whole "Ancient Disaster"?
LeoHold it right there!
LeoGet back, you pathetic, piffling poltroons!
Butterfly YueliaPoltroons? Is that even a real word?
Butterfly YueliaUh, let's look it up later. You ready, [Player]? [Choice: Of course / ((I'll be a poltroon]
Butterfly YueliaJust as you say!
Butterfly YueliaMr. Leo, sir! Allow us to assist you!
LeoMind your own business! You'll just get in my way!
Butterfly YueliaOh, well...all right.
Butterfly YueliaGood luck, Mr. Leo...
LeoI don't need your petty words of encouragement!
Butterfly YueliaWow. That may have been the most impressive thing I've ever seen.
Butterfly YueliaWhere did those guys come from?
Butterfly YueliaAnd where is Dogu? Is he with Grace?
LeoI've no idea. I haven't seen Dogu since the disaster befell us.
LeoThis is all because Grace left the island to visit your begrimed world.
Butterfly YueliaThat's really quite the vocabulary you have there.
Butterfly YueliaIt's my fault. I'm the one who took Grace off the island. I'm sorry.
LeoI agree. You two are undoubtedly the catalyst for the appearance of the Ancient Disaster.
LeoBut the blame lies with the one who broke our law. You do not get to take responsibility for this, insect.
LeoAnd I would be very pleased to see you go right back through that door and never return!
Butterfly YueliaNow, just wait a second! If Grace is in trouble, we're not going anywhere until she's safe!
LeoI see...
Butterfly YueliaLook, I understand what Grace is going through.
Butterfly YueliaThat's why I wanted to help her in the first place!
Butterfly YueliaThe burning desire to see a new world, to explore a new land...it's only natural to long for these things!
Butterfly YueliaIt doesn't matter that you know there are risks. And the more someone tries to stop you...
LeoThe more intense your desire grows. I know this.
Butterfly YueliaYes! Exactly!
Butterfly YueliaBut...if you know that, and you knew how much Grace wanted to leave, why be so hard on her?
Butterfly YueliaAnd why are all of you just standing around doing nothing if she's in so much danger?!
Butterfly YueliaWe're going up there to help Grace. You all can stand around listening to your bones quake.
Ancient SoldierWhat are you going to do? Flap away the monsters?
Butterfly YueliaSILENCE, POLTROON!
Ancient SoldierSorry, but what can you do? You're just a butterfly.
Butterfly YueliaI SAID SILENCE, POLTROO—
Butterfly YueliaOh, whoops! So I am.
Ancient SoldierW-w-w-wait... That butterfly just...
Ancient SoldierNow I'm terrified of butterflies!
Butterfly YueliaStunning coward corps you have here, Leo.
LeoBut...but how did you do that? Is this a dream?
YueliaGrace went up to the tower on her own, right?
YueliaLook, if you're really all that interested, we can talk about it later. Right now, we have to save Grace!
Ancient SoldierErm, Lord Leo...may I speak?
LeoWhat is it?
Ancient SoldierI believe this is not the first time I've seen this butterfly-girl's face, Sir Leo.
LeoWhatever do you mean?
Ancient SoldierThe memory is not forthcoming, sir.
Ancient SoldierPerhaps a solid bop on the head might dislodge it.
Ancient SoldierOh, I've been waiting for this!
Ancient SoldierDid you do it?
Ancient SoldierWhat kind of attack was that? I barely felt anything!
Ancient SoldierNow what's going to happen if you come across the ancient Goddess Statue in battle?!
Ancient SoldierThat's it! The Goddess Statue! That girl looks exactly like the Goddess!
LeoIndeed. I think you're right, soldier.
LeoYour methods of recollection are unorthodox... but effective.
YueliaLook, do we really have time for this?
YueliaI mean, whoever I may or may not look like really isn't an issue here. We need to—
LouisaShe is the Goddess Celestia's daughter.
YueliaLouisa?!
YueliaHow did you know that?
LouisaWell, I mean, I've never met the Goddess, but I've seen her in portraits. You're the spitting image.
LouisaWhen I heard your name, Yuelia, I was a bit shocked.
LouisaThat name has appeared in the old legends for generations here on Origin Island.
YueliaReally? Yuelia?
LouisaMany, many years ago...when the Goddess governed our island here...
Louisashe was waited upon by a certain Shrine Maiden. One of my ancestors, actually.
LouisaSee, I am a descendant of that Shrine Maiden. And that role I have passed to Grace...
LeoThis conversation is finished.
LeoAnyone can claim to be a descendant of the Goddess!
LeoYuelia, regardless of her own personal ancestry, is not allowed into the tower. The law is the law.
YueliaForget your dumb laws!
LouisaLeo! You shush! Yuelia is right.
LouisaWhen did you turn into such an obstinate leader?
LouisaWhat's more important? Grace or some old law?
LeoSuch a question is absurd!
LouisaNo, what's absurd is you assuming you will be able to rescue Grace without the help offered to you.
LouisaWe all know the Goddess Celestia had a hand in the creation of the Ancient Disaster.
YueliaMother was...?
YueliaIf the Goddess is connected to this Ancient Disaster, then as her daughter, I share in the responsibility.
YueliaWhich means I will enter that tower. Besides, even if I wasn't a daughter of the Goddess...
Louisa...Yes?
YueliaGrace is my friend!
LouisaYuelia, dear, surely you see it is too dangerous to enter the tower alone?
LouisaYou surely have more sense than Leo.
YueliaI'll do whatever I have to do. Besides, [Player] will be with me!
YueliaRight, [Player]? [Choice: Of course / Count me out]
YueliaOh, you backstabber!
YueliaLook, [Player]...
YueliaI know choosing to say that is cute and all, but this really isn't the time for it...OK?
YueliaNow, let's—
LeoHold it!
Yuelia...Yes, Mr. Leo?
LeoYuelia, [Player], I, uh...
LeoIt seems I have been...mistaken. I've misjudged you.
LeoYou, too, are but brave soldiers dedicated to protecting the Goddess...
YueliaWell, it's about time you realized who you're dealing with! Wouldn't you say so, [Player]?
Yuelia*Think maybe we can just get going now?*
LeoLady Yuelia...
Yuelia*Guess not.* Yes? What is it, Leo?
LeoI apologize for my many indiscretions.
LeoProtecting the Goddess is an ancient task that is entrusted to us.
LeoPlease, allow me to escort you to the tower.
YueliaWell, that's fine, but, I mean...don't do it because you think I'm a goddess, OK?
YueliaDon't give me that look.
Yuelia*sigh* OK, fine. I'll just go with it.
Yuelia*ahem*
YueliaAs a descendent of the Goddess, I command you to, uh...take me to the tower!
YueliaLet's go get Grace!
LeoYes, my lady! I am at your command!
YueliaThen...let us be off! Seriously. Let's go.
LeoIndeed, my lady!
LeoYou men, guard this area. Do not allow monsters to approach the tower in our absence.
LeoIf you come across any ferocious beasts, just... I don't know, knock them together with your knees.
Ancient SoldierY-yes, milord!
YueliaOK, [Player]. Here we go!
LouisaThe tower is sure to be full of peril. Be very careful.
Ancient SoldierLady Grace prayed fervently every day...so, why? Oh, why has she met such a fate?
Ancient SoldierThe strange aura that has overtaken the island makes me so anxious...and terrified.
Ancient SoldierI'm not the one who left the island.
YueliaSir Leo? How long have you known Grace? If you don't mind my asking.
LeoBoth Grace and I were raised by Louisa. We've known each other for as long as we can remember.
LeoWe are not related by blood. However, we are as brother and sister.
LeoWhen we became of age, we assumed our roles. We had no other choice.
YueliaSo your relationship changed once you...assumed your roles?
YueliaYou know what they say when you assume, right?
LeoYes. Now we each have our own separate roles.
LeoA Shrine Maiden serves the word of the Goddess... A warrior protects the Goddess from the shadows.
YueliaYou must get invited to all the best parties...
LeoPerhaps it is all my fault that her Shrine Maiden powers have begun to wane...
LeoI have, at times, not discouraged her enough from following her own desires.
LeoShe has not been able to bring us the word of the Goddess in quite some time now.
YueliaBut she still carried on? She still continued the rites?
LeoYes, but it was quite plain to see that Grace's heart was elsewhere.
LeoSee, the legend says only the Goddess may open the door that leads to the outside.
LeoThat made it simple for us islanders to give up even trying to leave.
LeoWe pretended there was no outside world. And we crushed the dreams of our youth with the prophecy.
LeoBut Grace was different...
LeoShe prayed desperately to the Goddess for a way off the island...
LeoI am frightened to say this, Yuelia, but I believe that your appearance here...
Leowas the answer to Grace's prayers. If that is the case, I welcome your help in saving her.
LeoWe must use that magical portal to ascend the tower.
LeoWe will be going straight into the heart of the beast. Be on your guard.
LeoIs everyone OK? Yuelia? [Player]?
Yuelia[Player] and I are seasoned battle veterans! We're fine!
YueliaBut, Sir Leo, as long as we're taking a breather here—there is something I'm curious about...
YueliaThis whole Ancient Disaster legend-slash-prophecy thing...I don't really understand what it's all about.
LeoIt is written in the ancient folklore, passed down through generations...
LeoThe original occurrence befell the island long ago, when the god was away...
Leoand as a result of the turmoil that ensued, the Goddess was trapped atop the tower.
YueliaMother...
LeoYes. Countless brave souls climbed this tower in a bid to save your mother, yet all passed into legend.
YueliaNo need to sugarcoat it. They all died, right?
Leo*ahem* Well, finally, the god returned and trapped the disaster in the topmost floor of the tower!
LeoThe disaster was quiet all these years, until now.
YueliaWait...so this disaster is actually a thing?! Like, a person or a monster or something?!
YueliaI thought it was a hurricane or a plague. Or locusts. Something...y'know...disastrous!
LeoWell, I can only hope we live to see whether or not the Ancient Disaster is aptly named.
Yuelia[Player], don't you find it strange?
YueliaFather didn't mention anything about any of this...
YueliaI guess that shouldn't surprise me at this point.
YueliaSo, Leo, back to this legend... Everything went sour because your god left the island. I get that part.
YueliaBut what does that have to do with anyone else leaving the island later on?
LeoI do not know. But I believe the connection between our two worlds is a mysterious one.
LeoSomething happens when the door is open. It is a thing we have yet to fully understand.
LeoOur ancestors spoke to the god through Dogu. I was hoping he would be able to tell us more...
LeoBut for now, I know he is sworn to stay by the Shrine Maiden's side. Dogu and Grace are together.
YueliaThey make a good team, don't you think?
LeoIndeed, I do. But Dogu's bizarre behavior since he returned from your world concerns me.
YueliaHow did he end up in Reveria? He must have gotten separated from Grace at some point...
LeoGrace has often expressed her unhappiness with Dogu's tendencies to...stray a bit from her side.
LeoQuite ironic. But I believe Dogu went ahead to scout your world because of his love for Grace.
YueliaOh, I never even thought about that!
LeoI am afraid I remain convinced that her transgression has caused the changes within the tower...
???AAAAAAAH!
YueliaThat was Grace!
LeoWe can finish this conversation later.
YueliaLet's go, [Player]!
YueliaGrace!
GraceY-Yuelia?
Grace[Player] too! Oh, and Leo!
LeoGrace! Are you OK?!
DoguDogugugugu DOGU!
LeoDogu! What are you doing?! Come down from that... dark, swirling vortex of magic immediately!
YueliaWait, so then Dogu...
LeoHe's the Ancient Disaster.
GraceNo! It's not his fault!
GraceDogu! That's enough now!
GracePlease! I just want the old Dogu back!
LeoGrace! Look out!
GraceLeo?!
YueliaLeo!
LeoI-I'm fine. I'm only stunned.
Yuelia[Player], we have to stop Dogu!
YueliaBut how do we do it without hurting him?
LeoI just can't believe Dogu is the Ancient Disaster.
GraceDogu, you stop this right now!
Yuelia[Player]! We have to stop Dogu somehow!
Yuelia[Player]!
DoguDOGU...DOGUGU... DOGU DO GU GU!
GraceThis is all my fault. I did this!
GraceI broke the sacred law as a Shrine Maiden. Take me, and leave the others out of this!
YueliaOh, Grace...
GraceI'm sorry. I, of all people, should have been able to put my own desires aside for the good of my people.
GraceBut I didn't. And even in my mistake, I can see the light that shines.
GraceHad I not left, I would not have been reenergized with an understanding of how beautiful it is here.
GraceThe people here are some of the most wonderful individuals I could ever hope to meet.
GraceIt's every bit as wonderful here as it is in Reveria!
LeoGrace...
LeoI deeply regret discounting your feelings until now...
GraceLeo...you needn't apologize.
GraceI'm the one who has failed in my sacred duty.
DoguDOGU DO GU GU! DOGU DOGUGU!
GraceLouisa said I was never to do this, but...
Graceas a Shrine Maiden, there is one last thing I can do...
Grace[Player], Yuelia...thank you.
GraceSeeing Reveria has made me so, so happy.
YueliaGrace, what are you... What is this?
GraceOh, Goddess... Goddess of Lunares...hear my plight.
GraceI am one of an ancient tribe...the people of origin!
GraceAnd I call on you to save this island!
GraceI offer up my mortal form to appease the Ancient Disaster before us.
LeoNO!
GraceLeo, stop. Do you still remember my favorite story you used to tell me when we were little?
GraceThe one about the brave adventurer who traveled the world collecting wishes...?
LeoWhat... Well, yes, but...what about it?
LeoIt was just a story! Just a stupid story I made up!
LeoIt's not real! It doesn't mean anything!
GraceIt has always been my favorite.
GraceIt helped me understand the importance of wishes and dreams as I grew up. For without a wish, without a dream...there is no future to be realized.
LeoWhat does that have to do with— No, Grace! Look, this story, OUR story, is not finished yet!
LeoSacrificing yourself isn't the answer! You can't just... abandon the island without a Shrine Maiden!
LeoYou mustn't do this! I command you!
LeoPlease, Grace, please...you can't do this.
LeoDon't leave us. Don't leave me. I forgive you. We all forgive you, Grace.
DoguDOGUUUUU... Do do guu...
DoguDogu... For...give...?
DoguDogu dogu, gu?
GraceHold still, Dogu. This shall only take a moment.
LeoGRACE! NO!
LeoNO NO NO! WHY DIDN'T SHE LISTEN TO ME?
YueliaMother!
YueliaHow could you let this happen?!
YueliaCouldn't you hear her?
YueliaGrace dedicated her Life to you. She prayed to you... Why couldn't you help her just this once?
CelestiaDid you call upon me, child?
YueliaUh...what was that?
CelestiaHello, my dear daughter.
YueliaGrace?! You're OK. That's...well, but... I'm not your daughter. You know that, right?
CelestiaIt's me, darling. Your mother.
YueliaWait—what?
CelestiaOh my...it has been quite some time since I've been inside a body this young. It's wonderful!
YueliaHow did you do this?!
CelestiaOh, every now and then the circumstances present themselves that allow me to borrow a body for a bit.
CelestiaIt takes the honesty of a true heart opening itself...
CelestiaThat is much more rare than one would like to think in this day and age.
YueliaBut...but, Mother, what are you doing here? Where is Grace?!
CelestiaFret not, dear Yuelia.
CelestiaGrace is here. And she is warm and safe.
YueliaSo...uh...how have you been?
YueliaWe don't have the Crystal of Wishes anymore. I thought that was the key to communicating with you.
CelestiaI have more than one way of appearing before you, child.
CelestiaAll I need is a vessel for a mystical power. Much like a Crystal of Wishes...
CelestiaA Shrine Maiden with an open heart does nicely for that, you know.
CelestiaI used to do this to your father sometimes when we'd get into arguments.
CelestiaAnd why not?! Sometimes his hubris would get out of hand. I'd wait for him to fall asleep...
YueliaAnd then you'd..."borrow" Father?
CelestiaOh, he hated it so much!
CelestiaOne time I left his body on a flying carpet near the outskirts of Al Maajik. He was mad for decades...
YueliaYou two really have an odd relationship, Mother.
CelestiaThis body is very powerful. I can sense how hard Grace has worked in her Shrine Maiden training.
YueliaOf course! Grace is a wonderful person, Mother!
CelestiaI can tell. For it is by her power that I am able to be here in the first place.
CelestiaNow, when I mentioned I have other ways of appearing before you...
CelestiaHmm... No, now is not the time for that.
CelestiaListen to me, Yuelia. The true cause of what is happening right now is...
CelestiaIt's all because of what happened between...
CelestiaHmm... No, actually, now is not the right time for that, either...
CelestiaFor now, I shall attempt to restore Dogu back to his usual self. How about that?
YueliaYou can do that?!
CelestiaI think I may be able to reduce his power slightly...to a more manageable level.
CelestiaAnd we can discuss the other stuff later.
YueliaYou did it, Mother!
CelestiaNo... Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I am able to completely restore him.
CelestiaIt appears he is still being somewhat influenced by the power of autosuggestion.
YueliaAutosuggestion? What is that? Or is now not the right time to tell me about that?
CelestiaNow, Yuelia. Snark does not become a lady. I was saying that Dogu is being hypnotized in a way...
YueliaSo just snap your fingers or clap your hands or whatever you need to do!
CelestiaI'm afraid it's not that simple. The grip on Dogu is quite strong, as it's a reflection of his own strength.
YueliaHm...
YueliaThere must be a way to free him without harm!
CelestiaPerhaps the two of you can come up with a solution.
YueliaWhat do you think, [Player]? How should we handle this? [Choice: $$Dogu's time is up / $$Just calm down...]
YueliaOh, really?!
CelestiaLet's do it!
CelestiaBe as gentle as you can.
YueliaWhat? Calm down?
YueliaWell...I mean, what can I say?
YueliaComplicated solutions have never been your forte!
CelestiaMy dears, time is of the essence. So...hurry up.
YueliaLet's do this our way!
YueliaWe'll bring an end to this without using force!
LeoGrace! Are you OK?
CelestiaOh my, what a majestic-looking youth. And what is your name?
YueliaMother! Stop it! Leo, would you mind taking...our Shrine Maiden here somewhere safe?
LeoO-of course!
YueliaCome on, [Player]!
LeoI shan't let them harm one hair on Grace's head!
YueliaI suppose that was...gentle?
YueliaIt doesn't look like these stone giants will be causing too much trouble in the future.
CelestiaNow we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
CelestiaWell, this was fun while it lasted.
CelestiaTime to give Grace her body back.
CelestiaHow do you feel, my dear? I hope I didn't overstay my welcome.
GraceThe G-Goddess...?!
CelestiaYou've done very well, my dear Grace.
GraceThis must be a dream. That's the only explanation...
CelestiaYes, my dear, it all is quite like a dream! Just imagine we're having a lovely dream chat.
GraceI...believe in the power of wishes... And dreams. Please understand that.
CelestiaI do, my dear. Yuelia and [Player] share your faith. With it, they even saved the world.
Grace...Where's Dogu?!
GraceIs Dogu hurt? Where is he?!
GraceDogu, no! Please! Please just open your eyes!
Grace*sniff* ...Dogu...you can't...can't do this...*nngh*
LeoPlease, Grace! Not now!
GraceNNNNNNWAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!
NoeliaWell, at least we didn't miss the Shrine Maiden matinee tantrum.
YueliaNoelia! You apologize right now!
NoeliaOh, relax. He's just a dogu.
NoeliaLook, he just needs a little oil and he'll be fine.
NoeliaI was just talking to Father. He created the dumb—uh, I mean, lovely creature. He said it'll be OK.
YueliaYou went to see Father?
NoeliaThese furry dudes told me I needed to press Father for some answers to help Grace here.
NoeliaLooks like we're late to the party, though.
???Better late than never! Har har!
GraceGrandfather! What are you doing here?
Spring ElderGrace, my child...have you been harmed?
LeoElder? What are you doing here?
Spring ElderNoelia told me what was happening.
Spring ElderI ran here as quickly as I could as soon as I heard.
LouisaYou could've at least thrown a robe on.
NoeliaAnd here is where everyone forgets to thank me because they're fixated on a half-naked elder...
CelestiaNoelia...
NoeliaMOTHER?! Is that—is that really you?
NoeliaThis is... I've dreamed about seeing you again. Oh, Mother, I miss you. I miss you so much...
Noelia*sniff* It's so hard for me to keep it all inside... *sob*
CelestiaNoelia, dear! It's OK. Tears were meant to flow. Let them out, my child.
Leo*Looks like we have another crybaby...*
YueliaShut it, Leo!
LeoI'm sorry. I meant no disrespect. I was just...well, that's why I don't try to joke very often.
CelestiaThese are my two lovely daughters, Sir Leo. I thank you for showing them the respect they deserve.
NoeliaMother? If this isn't a dream...why are you here?
NoeliaAnd how are you here?!
CelestiaIt's all thanks to Grace. I am glad to see you looking so well, Noelia.
NoeliaIf this is all actually happening...
Noeliacan I touch you to make sure? Then I'll know. If my hand goes straight through you, then...
CelestiaYou may do what you need to do to make yourself feel content, my darling.
YueliaNoelia, I can't believe that—
NoeliaNo crybaby jokes!
GraceUm, Noelia? I'm sorry to interrupt, but...
GraceAre you sure that Dogu will be fine? He, uh...still hasn't moved.
GraceI mean, does this mean the whole Ancient Disaster thing is over?
Spring ElderGrace...I'm sorry about Dogu. But what's done is done, my dear.
NoeliaOh, don't be so fatalistic. You all are really taking this prophecy thing too seriously.
NoeliaYOU HEAR WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!
YueliaEveryone can hear you just fine, Noelia. You don't have to yell.
NoeliaI'm not talking to you! I'm trying to make a point to the guy upstairs.
Divinus*sigh* I knew I should've kept my godly mouth shut.
YueliaFather?! Is that you?
LeoFather...? That voice was...
NoeliaYeah, you people should really have a chat with your so-called god! Oh boy! He's really something!
CelestiaNoelia, why are you so angry? What are you getting at here?
LeoFirst a goddess, and now we hear the voice of a god?! It's one miracle after another!
LeoO all-knowing god! Please tell us the answer we long to hear!
LeoWe must know how the Ancient Disaster first came about! Oh, please enlighten your humble servants!
DivinusOK. I'll tell you. But you have to promise you won't get mad at me.
LeoUh...OK...O great one. I promise I won't get mad.
DivinusThis whole thing came from a domestic spat. A fight between husband and wife.
GraceA domestic...spat?
YueliaMother? What is he talking about?
CelestiaI'm sorry, Yuelia.
CelestiaI'm afraid it's the truth. I couldn't be honest before... I was too embarrassed.
CelestiaDearest? You opened up this can of worms. I think maybe I'll just let you explain.
DivinusNo, no, no. It would sound better coming from you. You're a goddess, after all.
CelestiaI think it would be best hearing it from the one who brought it up in the first place, don't you?
DivinusYou know I'm no good with words! If you wanted a drawing, that would be one thing, but this...?
CelestiaNobody is asking for a drawing. Your subjects, including your daughters, are simply asking for a—
???How about we just let Dogu explain.
GraceDogu?! I didn't know Dogu could talk!
DoguOnly in times of great need does Dogu speak. This moment qualifies. Goddess and Creator very close always. Only sometimes little quarrel. But that time different. Very big quarrel. DOGU GU BIG. Creator forget important relationship day. Creator forget meeting on top of tower. But Creator go off island! Stand Goddess up! Goddess...sad, confused, angry. Goddess lock own self in tower. Goddess cry.
CelestiaI bawled my eyes out, clasping Dogu close to me.
DivinusI originally made Dogu as a gift for your mother. A sort of talisman for hearing the islanders' wishes. Dogu spoke to the Shrine Maiden, and I would grant the wishes she gathered through him.
NoeliaI can't believe you forgot an anniversary, Dad. Can't you get a planner or something?
DivinusI'm better at remembering now! It was a mistake, OK?
GraceSo Dogu is a bit of a conduit to the god?
DivinusYou could say that. See, when Celestia soaked Dogu in her tears, well...
YueliaHe acted on his own, didn't he? Out of his love for Mother?
CelestiaUnfortunately, at the time, I was very...distressed. All I was thinking was...
Celestia"I don't ever want to see him again! I don't want to see ANYONE ever again!"
DoguGoddess make wish. Dogu grant wish. Dogu fill land with chaos to protect Goddess from others. To protect Goddess from sad feeling.
CelestiaI was young. I was spiteful. All I wanted was revenge.
LeoBut...didn't people die trying to save you?
DivinusOld legends have a tendency to become slightly exaggerated over the years... No warriors were ever in any real danger. Although many climbed the tower to free Celestia... none of them were killed. A few sprained their ankles perhaps, but nothing more.
DoguDogu grant Goddess wish. That is all. Dogu not judge good wish or bad wish. Dogu stay by Shrine Maiden side forever to make islanders' wishes heard to big man upstairs.
GraceDogu! Who taught you how to speak like that!
DivinusI believe Celestia's influence is necessary in order to grant Dogu the power of speech. See, after the situation on Origin Island cooled down, I decided to seal up Dogu's memories. He never thought again about Celestia or her wishes. But it looks like I didn't seal them very well. None of this has to do with Grace leaving the island. Dogu is...well, he's reliving the past.
DoguDivinus is Dogu creator. Please seal Dogu memory again. Good of everyone...
CelestiaI think it has already been decided, Dogu.
CelestiaI'm sure you know that your creator cares for you very much.
CelestiaAfter the disturbance, the islanders were ready to think Dogu was some sort of demon.
CelestiaSo to protect you from their wrath, your creator made up a cover story...or a cover legend.
DivinusI sent a message to the islanders claiming the chaos was a direct result of my leaving the island.
GraceSo...it was all just a big lie?
LeoYou let us believe this...for countless generations?
DivinusLook, I didn't mean for my little white lie to turn into some sort of prophetic tale to scare the kiddies. I never even said the words: "Whosoever leaves Origin Island shall invoke the Ancient Disaster." At least, I don't think I did...
LeoI'm speechless...
CelestiaI'm so sorry.
DivinusWe were young and foolish. Please find it in your hearts to forgive us.
GraceEven gods and goddesses are human, I guess...
Spring ElderWell, I may be underdressed for the occasion, but I think that may be the wisest thing I've ever heard.
Spring ElderYou've really come into your own through this experience, Grace. I'm proud of you.
LeoI just don't know if there is merit in trying to protect his beloved wife with even a...small lie.
NoeliaYeah, wouldn't it be nice if Life were so simple that we could just see everything in black and white?
YueliaBut, Father, why did the seal on Dogu's memories suddenly break?
DivinusI believe he may have mistaken you for your mother, my dear child.
YueliaThat's why he kept saying her name!
DivinusYou certainly bear a striking resemblance to her. I hardly see any of myself in you, actually.
CelestiaA fine thing she didn't inherit your artistic skills.
DivinusPhilistine! My art is an acquired taste!
CelestiaYes, well, so is octopus tongue. That doesn't mean it's good.
DoguLet Dogu explain before lover quarrel start again.
DoguFace of Goddess and Lady Yuelia same to Dogu. Angry Yuelia face same as angry Celestia face. Tears of Lady Yuelia same as Goddess tears at time of big lover quarrel. Seal on Dogu's memories break open. Memory for Dogu make same experience. No difference to Dogu.
YueliaI couldn't figure out why something had changed in you. It was right in front of my face all along...
CelestiaPoor Dogu...
DoguGoddess so kind. Same as when Goddess was Shrine Maiden.
YueliaYou were a Shrine Maiden? But how? I mean, doesn't a Shrine Maiden have to be human?
CelestiaYes, that's true.
NoeliaIs this where you lay out some big-time secret you've been keeping from us all this time?
CelestiaIt is indeed a secret I have held on to for many years. I used to be a human.
NoeliaWhy didn't you tell us?!
YueliaWe're half human?!
EveryoneINCONCEIVABLE!
DivinusCelestia, my dear, maybe we should just call it a day.
CelestiaOh, what's the big deal, dearest? We've come this far. We might as well tell them everything.
CelestiaDid you know your father proposed to me right here in this very spot?
CelestiaIt was while performing my duties as a Shrine Maiden.
GraceI don't believe it. You...were a Shrine Maiden?
CelestiaYep. And when he proposed to me, well...let's just say I was in a real existential pickle.
CelestiaAnd not a tasty one.
CelestiaI mean, of course I was flattered, but to marry a god meant...a bit of a Lifestyle change.
CelestiaTo be the wife of a god, you pretty much have to be a goddess.
CelestiaI didn't know what to do. I wrestled with the decision all alone...all day and every night.
CelestiaAnd one night, just before the break of dawn, I saw a shooting star streak across the sky...and I knew.
CelestiaI would be with the one I loved and use the power he granted me for the good of the world.
Divinus*sniff* ...You never told me that story.
NoeliaOh...now that you mention it!
NoeliaSo that's why Father wasn't shocked when Yuelia said she wanted to be human and stay on Reveria!
NoeliaIt was just Mother's situation in reverse... Old hat by that point, eh, Pops?
DivinusNow, now, Noelia. I was plenty shocked. Just because I didn't jump up in the air and shout...
CelestiaCan I get back to my story?
CelestiaI had just one condition for accepting his proposal.
CelestiaEach year, I would get to be human again for one day. One special day to spend with him as a human.
CelestiaAnd then he went and FORGOT about that day!
LeoI'm not sure I can say this to a god, but...that was extremely unthoughtful and...uncool.
LeoLike...maximum uncool, as I believe the kids say.
GraceThat would've been enough to have me in tears.
YueliaFather...do you have anything to say for yourself?!
NoeliaYeah, that's...pretty lame, Dad.
LouisaI don't mean to pile on here, but that was quite the insensitive act...
Spring ElderSuch an action shows a distinct lack of tact.
PeachyGigigaga!
Giga giga! Giga giga ga.
DivinusI'm going to need to speak with my lawyer.
DoguPoor Divinus. Poor, poor Divinus... Dogu explain for him.
NoeliaYou don't have to defend him, Dogu!
DoguNo, no, please. Dogu can explain.
YueliaAre you sure...Dogu?
DivinusOh yes, yes. See, Divinus didn't forget about the date. He was actually off in Reveria at the time. He was picking flowers for his love but got lost! And you know how gods are about asking for directions!
YueliaWhy do I not think that's Dogu's voice?
CelestiaMy dear husband is using Dogu as a puppet!
DoguDogu sorry for rudeness. Divinus please use own voice for voice, not Dogu voice.
DivinusBlast! I knew I shouldn't have tried to sneak in some of my new material...
CelestiaYes, dear, you can practice your routine another time. I already forgave you, remember?
DivinusOh, that's right... Ha ha ha! What am I so worried about, then?
GraceSee, Leo? If the Goddess forgives, then you must find it in your heart to do the same.
YueliaWait, so what did Father do after he sealed up Dogu's memories?
CelestiaHe flew to my side to grovel at my feet.
DivinusI think grovel might be too strong a word...
CelestiaI don't.
CelestiaBy that time, I'd already calmed down and was feeling quite sheepish. So I told him I wasn't angry.
CelestiaBut, Dogu, I think we should respect your wish. Tell us what you would like.
DoguDogu wish for memory to seal up again. Dogu can help Lady Grace with no bad feeling.
GraceDogu...
CelestiaVery well, Dogu.
CelestiaYou know what my husband said to me while he was sealing Dogu's memories the last time?
Celestia*whisper whisper whisper* *Love forever.* *whisper*
EveryoneAWWWW...THAT'S SO SWEET...
NoeliaHA! Father, you really do love Mother more than anything, don't you?
DivinusOh, shush. And yes, I do.
NoeliaHey, Dad, do gods ever blush? Because if they do, I bet you're a shade of Castele Apple red right now!
DivinusOK! That's it! Dogu is sealed, and I'm gone!
NoeliaOh...well, that was abrupt.
DoguDogugu!
GraceDogu!
CelestiaGrace, it looks like you've got your Dogu back. Just as good as new.
DoguDogudogudoguuu!
GraceOh, Dogu...I'm just glad you're OK after all of this. *sniff* *sniff*
LeoGrace? Are you going to be OK?
Grace*sniff* Yeah, I'll be fine. *sniff* I just need a moment.
LeoYou can cry if you want to, Grace. I'll understand. Just don't, y'know..."cry."
GraceI'm...*sniff* not going to cry...in front of *sniff* every...one...nnnnnn...
GraceNNNNNNWAAAAAAAAAAAGGH!
Spring ElderYou've never let me see you cry before, Grace. Now I see why.
LouisaGrace wailing while Leo looks on uncomfortably... If only I had a Goldweed for every time I saw that.
NoeliaIt's pretty out of character for Father...
NoeliaChoosing a mushy line like that as the secret phrase for sealing up Dogu's memories...
YueliaWell, maybe we don't know Dad as well as we think.
NoeliaThat's possible. I just hope Dogu's seal holds this time. Don't go crying in front of him, Sis.
CelestiaThe mushy line is only really a phrase...just words. Perhaps Dogu actually did the sealing himself.
YueliaI hope that's true. I'd hate to think Dogu is just a doll without free will. I feel like he's got...soul.
NoeliaWell, Father made him...and after today, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
DivinusDogu has a soul! I wouldn't just make him live out his Life as some sort of puppet!
NoeliaI KNEW he'd be eavesdropping on us!
DivinusI wasn't eavesdropping! I had to come back because I left my...ethereal vortex thingie here... I got it now.
CelestiaYou do seem to leave that behind quite a bit after personal conversations.
YueliaWell, it looks like this case is closed, [Player]!
YueliaI'm so glad everything is OK now! It is, isn't it?
CelestiaYes, dear. It really makes my heart swell to see that you girls have grown up into such wonderful people.
NoeliaMaybe you can tell us why we both keep having déjà vu when it comes to this place.
CelestiaOh. You don't remember?
CelestiaI'm sorry—I thought you already knew I brought you to this island many times when you were young.
CelestiaSeeing you two run around here was wonderful. You were so cute and so filled with joy...
NoeliaMan, I'm good! I'm, like, a perfect 10 for 10 when it comes to my suspicions down here!
YueliaHey, I had a feeling about...something too!
GraceI still can't believe I'm standing here with the Goddess and her daughters. I feel so lucky!
YueliaWell, we'll all be able to hang out anytime we want from now on! We're friends now, after all.
GraceI would love to consider all of you my friends.
LouisaAre you getting this, my dear, stubborn old prune?
Spring ElderOh, hush! I'm not that stubborn.
Spring ElderGrace...I apologize. I should have listened to you. Well...I should have respected your wishes more.
GraceI'm equally to blame, Grandfather. Sorry for acting like a brat. I was only thinking of myself.
YueliaWell, now that everything's cleared up, you should all come and visit us in Reveria sometime!
YueliaLouisa, I can introduce you to someone who looks exactly like you!
LouisaOh my... Can one world contain such beauty?
YueliaHA! Yes, well, that might bring about its own Ancient Disaster.
Spring ElderDoes this Reveria of yours have any hot springs?
GraceI already asked, Grandfather. They thought I was talking about the seasons.
Spring ElderWell, I'm sure we can find a spring somewhere. I'll need to fetch a towel and dry myself off first!
GraceYes, and...you know, since you're taking the time, you could put on some pants too.
CelestiaWell, on that note, I think it's time for me to go.
NoeliaMother, can't you stay for a bit longer?
CelestiaDon't worry, Noelia, dear...
CelestiaAs I said earlier, I have many ways of appearing before you in this world.
CelestiaThose with Shrine Maiden powers can communicate with each other through dreams. Remember that.
GraceI met Yuelia in my dream!
YueliaGrace...I had a dream about you too! So that...so that really happened? Wow.
NoeliaI had a dream about...chocolate, mainly. I was swimming in this big sea of chocolate. It was delish.
CelestiaNoelia, you've been meeting me in your dreams too. I guess the chocolate was a bigger deal...
YueliaSo...when we meet you in our dreams, it's not just a dream? Suddenly sleeping in sounds exciting!
CelestiaHee hee. Yes, my dear. Well, I'm glad to help in any way I can.
CelestiaSpeaking of sleep, this whole multidimensional- travel thing is quite exhausting.
CelestiaI shall take my leave now. I wish you all many happy days of peace here on Origin Island.
NoeliaI'll see you again soon, Mother...
Yuelia[Player], I'm going to try to pull you into our dreams from now on.
YueliaThen we can all have fun together and drink all the sugared water we want!
NoeliaYou know you don't have to drink that stuff anymore, right? I'm not drinking it.
YueliaSuit yourself, dear Sister!
YueliaLook, [Player]!
YueliaI think you'll enjoy this.
GraceDawn is breaking over the island! Isn't it beautiful?
DoguDogu do dogu!
Giga gi giga!
PeachyGIGA...
YueliaLooks like those two really hit it off, huh?
NoeliaLooks like I'm down a furry companion. Got a feeling he's going to want to stick around here for a while.
YueliaThat's OK, Noelia. We can find you another furry friend, I'm sure.
NoeliaDumped for a Furlin mate... I can't believe it.
YueliaEr, what's a mate?
NoeliaWell, Yuelia, when a momma Furlin and a daddy Furlin love each other very much... Y'know what, never mind. I'll have Dad explain it.
GraceWe'll have a Furlin marriage here! And their anniversary will be the day you came to our island!
YueliaThat's great! So when do you think we'll be celebrating your anniversary in the future, Grace?
GraceMy anniversary? What do you mean?
YueliaOh, I just assumed you and Leo, at some point...
LeoLady Yuelia, please!
LeoI can assure you my feelings for Grace are of a purely brotherly nature!
YueliaOh. Sorry. I guess even as a human I have a habit of sticking my proboscis where it doesn't belong.
LeoIt's OK. I mean...I'm sure Grace feels the same way about me. I think...
Leo*AHEM* Regardless, brave [Player], I would like to give you an official commendation.
LeoAs a fellow warrior bound to protect the same goddess, I feel a strong sense of kinship with you.
LeoI hereby name you a Comrade-in-Arms from this day forth!
YueliaWell...I have no idea what that may mean...
Yueliabut congratulations anyway, [Player]!
LeoIt means... Well, I guess it means we are friends. Officially.
YueliaWe'll have to make sure this isn't the last we see of one another.
YueliaGrace, we'll come back to visit soon! I know we're gonna miss you guys until then!
GraceI'll come and visit you in the other world as well! You know that was my dream, after all!
YueliaOh, yes, we know. HA!
YueliaWell, off we go. Back to Reveria!
GraceI look forward to our next visit.
Leo[Player], let us battle together again someday.
DoguDogugu Dogu, dogugu!
Spring ElderI can't wait to search for new hot springs! Maybe I'll bring some eggs as a gift.
LouisaI'd like to have a little chat next time you're here... Come and see me when you have the time!
Gigagiga!
PeachyGigiga, giga!
DivinusI admit I was shocked when you sprung Dogu on me all of a sudden, but in the end... Yuelia and Noelia are happier than ever... and we all got to see my dear Celestia again. So... you have my thanks, [Player].
YueliaWe're back, Pam!
PamOh, welcome back, dears.
PamI see you've got Noelia with you too!
NoeliaYep.
PamI never expected it would take you this long just to check out my storage room.
YueliaWell, actually...there's something you should know.
YueliaThere's a secret island in your storage room. We met a Shrine Maiden in there, and Dogu went crazy...
YueliaWe climbed up the Goddess Tower, and everyone was there! Then the Goddess showed up, and then—
PamThis was all...in the storage room?
YueliaIt was! And we met this lady who looks just like you! She was your...your doggledanger...
PamMy doppelganger, you mean?
PamOh my! She must be quite the beauty! Tee hee!
YueliaI think that's exactly the word she used.
YueliaI think they're all going to come and visit us here in Reveria soon!
PamI need to put on my face! If I meet my doppelganger, I hope one world can hold all of that beauty!
YueliaOK, this is getting really weird.
PamOh, well, actually. If she really is like me, I'm not going to put up any sort of fuss.
PamBy the way, Noelia...where's your Furlin friend?
YueliaOh, that Furlin found himself a bride!
PamA bride? How lovely!
YueliaStill...poor Noelia...
NoeliaWhat are you talking about? Why "poor me"?
NoeliaWhat, you think I'm, like, jealous or something? Or maybe I'm sad and lonely now?
NoeliaWell...maybe. I might be...a little lonely. I mean, that big galoot and I got to be pretty good friends.
YueliaMaybe we can hook you up with someone, Noelia.
NoeliaOh, shut it!
NoeliaI'm fine on my own. Well, I mean...I wouldn't mind hanging out with my sister a bit more, I guess...
YueliaOh, is that all? Well, you got it!
YueliaGetting you to say that turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would be!
NoeliaUgh...you tricked me into getting...sentimental.
PamOh, there are few things like a sibling's love...
NoeliaCan we please just drop this! We've got more important things to do...don't we?
YueliaAgreed. Like the fact that I'm really hungry right now!
YueliaAnyone else?
NoeliaFood sounds perfect. I'm famished.
PamCome on in, girls. Let me take care of you.
PamI prepared a li'l something! Come, let's eat. And you can tell me more about your latest adventure...
YueliaThe curtain has fallen on this adventure. It was a tale unlike any other... Full of new friends and excitement. And we learned so much more about the world and ourselves. We also showed a little of the wider world to people who would have never had the chance to see it otherwise. It makes me happy knowing that. Our beautiful land of Reveria really came forth from a dream my parents had. Through their dedication and hard work, they were able to bring their wishes to Life. Each day that brings us happiness in this peaceful world is a testament to the fulfillment of that dream. Dreams and wishes are such powerful things... That's what I think, anyway. Wouldn't you agree...?
Yuelia's not here. Where could she have gone?
PamLooking for Yuelia? Isn't she in her usual spot?
YueliaOh... [Player].
YueliaHA! You found me!
YueliaGuess I ended up here again, huh?
YueliaIt's weird. Standing here doesn't seem to make me so sad anymore.
YueliaI mean...
YueliaI met my mother in my dreams, after all!
YueliaAnd Mother said that from now on, we can meet anytime we like!
YueliaHmm? What do you mean? I've always seemed so cheerful? Hmm? My secret?
YueliaBut let's keep that a secret just between you and me.
YueliaAnd everyone else on Origin Island too, I guess! HA!
YueliaYou up for doing some exploring? Let's go see what this world has in store for us!
CelestiaCan you hear me...?
Celestia...[Player].
CelestiaThank you for all you've done, [Player]. Thanks to your efforts, our beautiful land is now at peace. I know my little girl and all the people of the land have a special place for you in their hearts. Please continue to enjoy Life on Reveria...and keep an eye on my girls, won't you?
Yuelia[Player]?
YueliaWhat is it? You look like you're having some sort of vision! Are you OK?
YueliaWell...here I go!
YueliaChin up! Here I come!
YueliaSnug as a bug!
YueliaOK, so...where are we off to today?
YueliaOur Life is out there just ready and waiting for us! Let's go get it!
