Story scene script: Tale of Lunares

???Oh, Father... I've been thinking a lot lately about... where wishes come from. If a wish comes from the heart... I mean, if the heart is where we keep our wishes... This is so hard to say... But if every heart holds a secret wish... [Player]'s, Noelia's, even yours, Father... What is inside the hearts that beat in Reveria? The hearts of wild creatures...? The hearts of monsters...? Do their hearts hold wishes too?
PostmanI have never seen such a superhuman effort in the entire history of mail delivery...
PostmanHe has performed miraculously on every single delivery on his route thus far, and still...
Postmanhe somehow has the energy for this one last letter from the king to— HEY! WATCH IT!
ButchOutta my way!
ButchWait fer me, Pierre! Wait fer me!
Postman*ahem* Now, where was I?
PostmanAh yes. Here he stands, exhausted, spent, and about to set a new record for letters delivered...
PostmanThe crowd is drenched in tension...
PostmanAmazing! For those of you at home, I wish you could be here! I'm gonna tell my kids about this one! Wow!
Butterfly YueliaSeriously, I think we should just ask the king to move us into the Royal Court.
Butterfly YueliaIt sounds like something big is going on.
Butterfly YueliaLet's make King Erik wait for a bit. I mean, we're not just at his beck and call, right?
Butterfly YueliaWe've already got all of the Goddess Treasures. ... Maybe he's figured out something important?
Butterfly YueliaOK, that's enough. To the castle!
LauraThere you are, [Player]! What took you so long?
ErikLaura, please. I'm sure they weren't just standing around simply for the sake of making us wait.
LauraWell, it sure felt like it!
OpheliaLaura, let us get down to business. You can play the petulant princess later, if you must.
Butterfly YueliaWow... Seems like everyone here woke up on the wrong side of the bed, eh?
ErikYes, perhaps. Please forgive our manners. Thank you for coming, Butterfly, and you as well, [Player].
ErikWe do have a piece of urgent business to deal with regarding the Goddess Treasures.
ErikWe could really take a pass on the sarcasm this morning, Butterfly.
ErikHughes here has been tirelessly researching not only the items you procured but also their history.
HughesCorrect.
ErikAnd it appears that Hughes has discovered something of great importance.
HughesCorrect.
ErikI believe Hughes will soon share with us his findings.
Butterfly YueliaOH, COME ON!
HughesWell, I shall try to ignore Butterfly's dramatics and get right to the point.
ErikThat's what I've been trying to get you to do all this time, but you seem intent on drawing this out with—
HughesTHERE IS A FOURTH GODDESS TREASURE!
Butterfly YueliaThat was an epic finger point, Hughes!
HughesThank you. I felt the moment warranted such a point.
HughesNow, if I may... According to legend, the Goddess entrusted a treasure to each land in Reveria.
HughesIn other words, to Castele, Port Puerto, and Al Maajik. This we already know.
HughesBut what we didn't account for is a treasure that went to a fourth land.
LauraBut there isn't a fourth land in Reveria, Hughes.
HughesNot true, Princess. We have overlooked this fourth kingdom because its ruler is not...human.
Butterfly YueliaYou mean, like, a spirit?!
HughesExactly. I speak of the governor of all wild beasts, The Great Spirit! Often thought to be all but a myth...
ErikHughes and I are both of the opinion that a fourth and final Goddess Treasure is still out there...
Eriksomewhere in the land ruled by The Great Spirit.
ErikMy loyal subjects, you must know what I ask of you.
Butterfly YueliaYou want us to go and get it!
ErikIndeed. Bring us that final treasure so that we may save Reveria.
Butterfly YueliaSo...how do we get to this mythical place?
Erik...That's a good question. Hughes?
Hughes...Well, we hadn't really gotten that far, Your Grace.
Butterfly YueliaWait—so you don't even know where this place is?!
ErikThe stage is set for a grand adventure steeped in mystery, is it not?
OpheliaI know where The Great Spirit resides.
Butterfly YueliaWhat? Ophelia! Why did you not say something?
OpheliaFirst of all, you never asked me. But I can tell you how to reach Danuta, The Great Spirit.
ErikWell then, you must tell us immediately, my dear!
ErikWhere is this land?
Butterfly Yuelia*Why didn't the queen speak up earlier?*
ErikOphelia, um...where is this land of The Great Spirit? Come now. It's, uh...kind of important here.
OpheliaI don't know if I should say.
OpheliaThat place is considered out of bounds for humans. It is a forbidden forest.
Butterfly YueliaWhat makes it forbidden?
OpheliaThat is how they desire it. That is how they have always desired it to be since time immemorial.
ErikYes, but darling...if the world ends, you know they'll be going down with the rest of us, so...
HughesWe've come too far to stop now, Queen Ophelia! We already have three of the treasures.
HughesIf you know something, in the name of science and for the good of Reveria, I beg you, please speak.
OpheliaI must think about it first.
LauraMother... I hope she's all right.
ErikThis doesn't surprise me. The queen has a gift for communicating with spirits.
Butterfly YueliaDoes she really? I didn't know that.
ErikWhy would you? Communicating with spirits runs in her bloodline.
ErikLaura's power to communicate with beasts such as the Napdragon is also derived from this gift.
HughesBased on what Queen Ophelia said, we know we are seeking a wooded area.
HughesShe said it is their "desire" to keep it secret. So the question is, who are "they"?
Erik"They" could mean many people.
ErikI once knew a Carpenter named They Tuttlebaum, but I don't think he—
PaladinYour Majesty!
ErikNo interruptions! Can't you see we're talking about important...Tuttlebaums?!
PaladinBut, Your Majesty! Another Doomstone has fallen in the Elderwood!
ErikYes, another Doomstone, fine.
PaladinBut, Your Majesty, apparently this Doomstone is HUMONGOUS. L-l-like, giant, milord!
Butterfly YueliaHow big is giant?
LauraHow huge is humongous?
PaladinIt shook the ground so hard upon impact that it was felt all the way to Port Puerto.
ErikFine. Send a search party to investigate.
HughesYour Majesty, I know I need not remind you the Elderwood is filled with wild beasts.
HughesIf a powerful stone were to affect a large number of these beasts all at once...
ErikThe Elderwood isn't even under my jurisdiction!
ErikFine. Hughes, take whatever troops you need and retrieve this Doomstone!
HughesSoldier, come with me.
PaladinSir, yes, sir!
Erik[Player] and Butterfly too!
ErikYou two are seasoned pros by now when it comes to neutralizing and securing Doomstones.
ErikAlso keep an eye on Hughes, will you? He's very important to our goal here.
Butterfly YueliaSir, yes, sir!
ErikA fine soldierly, yet fluttery, response!
ErikBeware the Elderwood. It is very... Just beware.
Butterfly YueliaIs there something we should know?
ErikNo. Go now. Give Hughes any assistance he needs, and be careful!
ErikCome back to us in one piece. Well, two pieces—one piece each. One whole piece each.
Butterfly YueliaLet's go, [Player]!
LauraWait, [Player]!
Butterfly YueliaWhat is it, Laura?
LauraOh, nothing! Just wanted to wish you good luck! *I'm going with you.*
Butterfly YueliaUm...thanks! *Er...are you allowed to?*
LauraOh, you're welcome! So, so welcome! *Father doesn't need to know!*
LauraBring me back a souvenir if you find something nice! *Let me change. I'll meet you outside the castle!*
LauraNow go on! I'll see you when you get back! *Don't you dare leave without me!*
Ophelia[Player], a moment before you go.
Butterfly YueliaAre you OK, Queen Ophelia?
OpheliaI am no more troubled than I should be to hear of a Doomstone landing in the Elderwood.
Butterfly YueliaWell, we were just on our way there now to see if we can recover the stone before anything happens.
OpheliaThe Elderwood is...a special place. It forms a border between the human world and the spirit world.
OpheliaMost humans are barred from entering certain parts of the Elderwood.
OpheliaIt is a mysterious realm of creatures and spirits that can be very...befuddling to one with a closed mind.
Butterfly YueliaThe king sounded like he wanted to tell us something about it, but he stopped himself.
Butterfly YueliaI don't know. Maybe I just imagined that.
OpheliaI doubt it. Erik is very fond of you. He wouldn't want anything to happen to the two of you.
OpheliaBut what exists in some parts of the Elderwood can be very difficult to explain.
OpheliaIf anyone can find the treasure bestowed upon the spirits there, I believe it is you two.
Butterfly YueliaTreasure bestowed upon the spirits?!
Butterfly YueliaDo you mean the fourth Goddess Treasure? It's in the Elderwood?
OpheliaI cannot be certain...but I have a feeling that, yes, that is the case.
Butterfly YueliaNo kidding?!
Butterfly YueliaThe Elderwood is where we're headed now. And the fourth treasure may be there...? How convenient!
OpheliaThe deepest part, ruled by Danuta, is considered to be the fourth kingdom of legend, yes.
Butterfly YueliaWhat's a Danuta?
OpheliaDanuta is The Great Spirit. If Danuta is guarding the treasure, no ordinary person will ever see it.
OpheliaIt is impossible to even reach an audience with Danuta without the blessing of the spirits.
Butterfly YueliaYour Highness, why are you telling us all this?
OpheliaI have something to ask of you.
OpheliaWhen you meet the children of the forest, please give them this letter. It is very important to me.
Butterfly YueliaThis forest has children?
OpheliaYou'll know them when you see them.
To The Great Spirit, Danuta, Forgive me for going against the ban on humans entering your forest. However, I feel an exception must be made in this case. Please treat these two as you would your own. Our children desperately need your help. All of our children... Always in your deepest friendship, Ophelia.
OpheliaI can only hope this letter will serve our purpose.
OpheliaThe forest is a beautiful place, but it has a way of swallowing up certain individuals forever.
OpheliaThe forest has its own Life within it. If you should become lost, let the Spirit Tree guide you.
Butterfly YueliaAnd...where do we find this Spirit Tree?
OpheliaIt is an ancient tree within the heart of the forest...
OpheliaFind the sacred place deep within the forest, and take a right. You can't miss it.
OpheliaI believe you will find any help you seek beneath its leafy branches.
Butterfly YueliaGo deep in the woods. Find the sacred place. Take a right. Sounds good!
OpheliaPlease, do be careful. The Deep Elderwood is an especially unforgiving place.
OpheliaI ask you to protect Laura with your own Life.
Butterfly YueliaUh...what do you mean? Laura is...here in the castle.
OpheliaI can read my daughter like a book. There would be no way to hold her back from this adventure.
OpheliaIn fact, I bet you are keeping her waiting right now. Is that correct?
Butterfly YueliaWow! You're good!
OpheliaI do my best. Farewell. May the spirits protect you.
Laura[Player]! What took you so long?!
LauraLet's get going! By the time we get out there, that Doomstone is going to be a pearl!
Butterfly YueliaSorry, Laura. We were just getting some final bits of advice on how to navigate the forest.
LauraOh, don't let anyone scare you. Yeah, the forest is full of monsters. But they're really cool monsters!
Butterfly Yuelia*gulp* What do you mean by that?
LauraOnce we get deep into the woods, there are bears with razor-sharp fangs and trees that attack you—
Butterfly YueliaThat sounds horrible!
LauraHorrible? You mean cool, don't you?
Butterfly YueliaI don't know about this... We might be in over our heads here.
LauraDon't worry—we can handle these monsters. Of course, if the Doomstone's energy gets to them...
Butterfly YueliaYeah, what then?!
Butterfly YueliaThat Doomstone might turn all of the creatures in the forest into evil Shadow Monsters!
LauraWell, we better get going and get to that stone before it can do any damage!
LauraThese Doomstones are really giving the creatures in nature a bad name.
LauraEven the so-called monsters. Most of them are just big teddy bears. They wouldn't harm you if you—
LauraHrm...
Butterfly YueliaWhat's wrong, Laura?
LauraI just got this weird image in my mind. I think it was something my mother said...about the Elderwood?
LauraIt just came and went. Kinda like a déjà vu thing.
LauraWell, if it's important, it'll come up later. If it's not, it won't! Let's get going!
LauraThis is pretty much where the Elderwood starts.
LauraWoodcutters come here to chop lumber. Others come to gather nuts and mushrooms.
LauraBut everyone pretty much sticks to the outer fringes because it gets more dangerous the deeper you go.
Butterfly YueliaWell, I guess that means we're going in, eh?
LauraHughes should be ahead of us. We'll see.
LauraLet's go find that Doomstone!
ButchBro! What's gotten inta you?!
ChompyRawr! Rawwwr! (You're acting crazy!)
Butterfly Yuelia*It's Pierre and Butch!*
Butterfly Yuelia*Let's go find out what they're up to.*
PierreMuSt FiNd tHe doOmStOnE...
LauraWhat is going on here?
ButchYou gotta help us, kid! My bro is acting nuttier than a squirrel in autumn!
Butterfly YueliaWhat else is new?
LauraDid he get his hair cut like that before or after he started acting strangely?
ButchHey now! That there was uncalled for. I cut my bro's hair myself!
PierreButch! Hold your tongue regarding the origins of my coiffure!
ButchBro! Yer back ta normal? Oh, happy days!
PierreGingery brain! There's nothing wrong with me!
PierreAs for my hairstyle, if you look closely, you'll see that when shaped with my beard, it resembles a cresce—
PierreWe aRe jUst MoDeL CiTiZeNs. heRe To PiCk MuShRoOmS...aNd CoLlEcT LitTer...
LauraWhy is he talking like that?
ButchHe's been doing this ever since we ran into...HER!
Butterfly YueliaWe've seen this before...
PierreIf you have any mushroom-picking or litter-collecting needs, just call upon Bierre and Putch!
LauraOh, now he's talking normally again. Kind of.
ButchWhat are youze all doin' here? Don'tchoo know dat dere's a Doomstone fallen in the forest?
PierreAnd, of course, now the forest is full of Paladins trampling over everything and getting in the way!
LauraGetting in the way...of what?
PierreWHo's gEttiNG iN tHe Way?! I meAnT tHeY aRE DoInG a FiNe jOb...
ButchHe's doin' it again! Oh, woe. Oh, woe!
PierreWell, I'm afraid we're very busy right now. No time to chat. Enjoy your stroll through the forest. Good day!
ButchHey, Bro! Wait up!
ChompyRawr! (You jerk!)
Butterfly YueliaWell, that was beyond bizarre.
LauraIt certainly was. I don't like seeing those fellows here, but we have more important things to investigate.
LauraLet's see if we can catch up with Hughes and his Paladins. Deeper into the forest we go!
Butterfly YueliaIsn't that Hughes over there?
LauraLooks like he's got something...
HughesMost interesting. How could this have gone unnoticed all this time?
PaladinWhat is it, sir?
HughesThis monument is composed of the same material as Castele's Goddess Statue.
HughesPerhaps there are other artifacts of this type in the forest. If so, that would mean...
HughesWe must press onward. I am not satisfied with simple conjectures.
???Turn back now.
Laura*gulp*
LauraDid you hear that voice?
Butterfly YueliaYeah. Who said that?
PaladinI didn't say nothing!
PaladinThat double negative means...that you did say something, then?
???You may not pass.
HughesWho are you?! Identify yourself.
???This is your warning, hoomins.
???We forest dwellers abide by the oath.
???Long ago, Castelians also swore an oath to never enter our forest.
HughesWhat? I swore no such oath.
???This oath was sworn before the spirits.
LauraTake us to these spirits!
???I suggest you leave now or face the forest's wrath.
HughesWe will do no such thing. We are here on a research expedition ordered by King Erik himself.
???King Erik does not rule here. Consider yourselves warned, hoomins.
HughesHey! Don't you disappear into thin air on me!
Butterfly YueliaWell, that was...foreboding.
Butterfly YueliaWhat do you think was up with that funny little spirit?
Butterfly YueliaI mean...should we really be doing this? It sounds like we might be trespassing on something sacred here.
Butterfly YueliaBut at the same time, we have to find the Doomstone.
Butterfly YueliaI'm not afraid to admit I'm...afraid. It looks pretty scary in there.
Butterfly YueliaWait! The queen's letter! Do you think that little guy was one of the forest dwellers?
Butterfly YueliaWhy am I the only one talking?!
LauraSorry, Butterfly. I'm just thinking. Something the little guy said...
Butterfly YueliaWhat is it, Laura?
LauraAgain, it's like a hazy memory. I'm not sure if it really happened or if it was a dream.
LauraBut I have this image of my mother telling me something. I must have been a little girl...
Butterfly YueliaWhat did the queen say?
Laura"One must pay respects to the forest dwellers if one wishes to enter the Elderwood.
LauraListen for the voice of the spirits...
Lauraand they shall guide you.
LauraFor they are sworn to help you. For they are bound by an ancient oath."
LauraI think that's how it went.
Butterfly YueliaListen for the voices of the spirits...
LauraI think we need to go deeper into the woods. That's where we will hear the voices of the spirits!
Butterfly YueliaI'm terrified...but I'm right behind you, Laura!
Butterfly YueliaYour mother told us she thinks the last Goddess Treasure is hidden somewhere in the Elderwood.
LauraReally?
Butterfly YueliaYes, she told us as we were going to meet you. She knew you were coming with us, by the way.
LauraOf course she did...
LauraSo then this final treasure must be guarded not by humans, but by spirits.
Butterfly YueliaPerhaps these spirits will guide us to the treasure... with their voices?
LauraI don't know if it's that simple. But we have to try!
LauraI've never been this deep in the forest before.
LauraIt's, uh...no big deal, right? Just more forest.
Butterfly YueliaYeah, sure, it's just, y'know...trees and...monsters.
LauraIn the dark.
Laura[Player], you look as cool as a cucumber. Doesn't anything faze you?
LauraI mean, it's good someone has a clear head.
LauraBecause I'm starting to doubt that Mother's words were true...
LauraI don't hear any spirit voices...but maybe I can't hear anything over my shaking bones.
Butterfly YueliaWe've got to get ourselves together, Laura!
Butterfly YueliaLook, we're just going deeper into the forest. We know the forest! There's nothing that's any different—
???AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Laura...Was that...a bloodcurdling scream?
LauraI think it was. Oh boy.
Butterfly YueliaIs that...what a spirit sounds like? ...Maybe?
LauraI don't think so. But you're right, Butterfly, we must find the courage to do this.
LauraLet's go, [Player]!
Butterfly YueliaThis doesn't look good.
Butterfly YueliaIt's a young girl being attacked by a pack of Shadow Monsters!
LauraYou...really have a knack for stating the obvious.
Butterfly YueliaThanks. I've been working on that.
Butterfly YueliaSo where's the Doomstone? I don't see it!
LauraForget the stone! Save the girl!
Butterfly YueliaWell, [Player]...? [Choice: I'll fight / $$I'm not fighting]
Butterfly YueliaReally? You're not going to fight?
Butterfly YueliaI don't know if I'll be able to soothe these savage beasts, though!
Butterfly YueliaAre you sure you don't want to fight? [Choice: OK, I'll fight / I'm sure]
Butterfly YueliaOK, then. Cross your fingers and close your eyes!
Butterfly YueliaExcuse me, poochie. Heh heh. Nice doggies...
Butterfly YueliaDiplomatic understanding reached! Boy, you're really testing my ability as a mediator, [Player]!
Butterfly YueliaAre you OK, miss?
???I think so. They only chewed me a little...
LauraWhat? You got bitten?!
???It was only a little harder than the usual playful nip.
???This isn't normal behavior for these creatures. Something is making them act violently.
LauraIt's the Doomstone. We've got to find that thing!
Butterfly YueliaLooks like the Paladin's report was right.
???Thanks to you for protecting us. I am definitely grateful for that, but I must ask...
???What are you hoomins doing here?
LauraWho are you calling a...hoomin?
LeilahOh, I'm sorry. I did not mean to offend you. Please forgive me. My name is Leilah.
LauraI'm Laura. This is [Player].
LauraAnd our fluttery friend here just goes by Butterfly.
Butterfly YueliaNice to meet you. *I think she was referring to you "humans," Laura.*
Laura*Oh...oops.*
Butterfly YueliaYou can call them hoomins—don't worry about it. The princess here thought you meant something else.
LauraWell, how was I supposed to know?!
LeilahI see that Butterfly is good friends with the hoomin.
LauraYou mean "human." Not hoomin.
LeilahNo, I don't think so. I mean "hoomin"...hoomin.
Butterfly YueliaLet's just move on... Leilah, we're looking for a Doomstone. Have you seen one?
LeilahDoom...stone? What is that?
Butterfly YueliaIt's a dangerous stone that falls from the sky. It's all black and shadowy and creepy looking.
LeilahI see...
LauraIt is very important that we find it. We are also looking for a Goddess Treasure...
LeilahI see...
LauraIt is spoken of in an ancient legend, and we have reason to believe it's here in the Elderwood.
LauraWe're also trying to listen to the voices of spirits. But we don't really know what that means.
LeilahI see...
LeilahI think you should come back with me to my village.
Butterfly YueliaVillage? So...there are people who live in the forest?
LeilahElderwood Village has no hoomins there.
LeilahWe are ruled by a village elder. She is wise beyond her years...which is a lot of years, actually.
LeilahI asked her once how old she was, and she said she played with Father Time when he was just a boy.
LeilahI didn't get it.
LeilahBut this talk of stones and treasures is something she should hear.
Butterfly YueliaShould we go see this elder?
LauraI really don't think we have any other choice.
LauraLet's go, [Player]!
LeilahYes. Please follow me.
LeilahYou run along now, little one. You are safe again.
LauraWait a moment. We're going...in there?
Butterfly YueliaI thought you said you lived in a village. That looks like a cave to me.
LeilahOh my. You hoomins really are...how do you say...? Strung very heightenedly.
LeilahDo not worry. This is the village entrance.
LauraLeilah, I'm sorry, but I don't think we can trust you any further. Maybe it's different in your land, but...
Butterfly Yueliawe call this a cave. Not a village.
LeilahYou hoomins are full of snapping judgments, I see.
LeilahCueya choomera!
???Chuyo?
???Chubaiyo cheremi?
???Charu muna da Leilah?
???Leilah? Leilah?
???Dabio menduya! Leilah menduya!
LeilahAnd I've brought guests!
???Chuyo chuyo?
???Charu muna da..."guests"?
???Ohh...banatara! Guests! Guests!
Butterfly YueliaWait a second. Do you think those voices are...
LauraThe voices of the spirits?
LeilahMend bweede buise. This way, please.
LeilahWelcome to Elderwood Village.
LauraWow...
LauraSo this...is Elderwood Village.
Butterfly YueliaNow who's stating the obvious?
Butterfly YueliaLook! Is that...a Goddess Statue?
LauraI don't— I can't— I mean...it looks a bit more worn, perhaps, but it's identical to the one in Castele.
Butterfly YueliaWe saw the same one in Port Puerto and Al Maajik...
LauraWell, of course. That would make perfect sense. But one here would mean they know of the Goddess.
LauraThe Goddess blessed each land when it was formed, or so the legend goes.
Butterfly YueliaWhich would mean the Goddess spent some time here in Elderwood Village as well!
LeilahPino! Come meet our guests!
Butterfly YueliaIt's that kid we saw earlier!
???What are you doing here?
LeilahI live here, Pino. Just like you.
???I didn't mean you! I'll speak with you in private.
???I TOLD you not to go into the forest until we know those stones have stopped falling from the sky!
LeilahSorry, Brother.
???And you bring hoomins into our village! What are you thinking?!
LeilahBut they saved me, Pino! I couldn't just leave them. Just listen for a second...
???You speak a fine tale, hoomin.
???If you did indeed save my sister's Life, I owe you.
PinoI am Pino.
PinoYou already know Leilah.
PinoAnd these are Leafes, the spirits of the forest.
LeafeCharu muna da neekay hoomins?
LeafeNeekay hoomins! Nice hoomins!
PinoYou'll have to forgive me if I seem a bit...brusque. But we have been under quite a bit of duress here.
PinoWe have seen strange behavior out of several forest creatures since those stones started falling.
PinoI thank you for protecting Leilah, but I must enforce our law that forbids hoomins in our village.
Butterfly YueliaIs that really...a law?
PinoIt is a sacred oath made in the name of the Goddess between the forest dwellers and the hoomin race...
PinoCall it whatever you will.
PinoWe did not create our land. Yet we strive to respect it so that we may live in it each and every day.
PinoOr put another way, hoomins stay out of our village, and we stay away from hoomins. Got it?
LauraAre you saying that...you're not hoomin? I mean, human?
PinoOf course not! Don't be ridiculous.
PinoWe forest dwellers reside with the spirits. We are but half hoomin and half Other.
Butterfly YueliaSo you're, like, hoomothers. HA!
Butterfly YueliaUh, so yeah. We were hoping we could see your village chief or elder or whatever you call her.
LauraWe seek one of the ancient Goddess Treasures.
PinoI have never heard our chief speak of any type of Goddess Treasure.
LeilahPino, just let me take them to see The Great Spirit.
LeilahWhat's the worst that could happen?
Pino*Famous last words...*
PinoNo. I'm sorry. I forbid it.
LeilahBut why?!
PinoLeilah, these hoomins shouldn't even be here! What kind of trouble do you think we'd get in if we took—
LeilahBut I told you! They're not like normal hoomins! They saved my Life!
PinoI understand that. But that doesn't change the sacred oath made many generations ago.
LeilahYou...you...big mendekaka!
LeafeMendekaka! Mendekaka!
Pino*sigh* No matter how hard I try to look out for her well-being...this is how I get repaid.
PinoI apologize for any promises my sister may have made to you, but as her guardian...
PinoI cannot allow any of this. Again, I thank you, but we shall have no more to do with unproven hoomins.
Butterfly YueliaWhat do you mean by "unproven"?
PinoNothing. It's just...a condition of the ancient agreement. It's a figure of speech.
Butterfly YueliaWell, if we're unproven, then surely there's a way for us to become "proven," no?
Butterfly YueliaIs there some sort of exam...or special training we'd need? An obstacle course maybe?
PinoHa ha ha! This butterfly speaks of hoomin concepts in a most humorous manner.
PinoHave you ever performed in front of an audience where you're from?
Butterfly YueliaNo, I could never... Wait—what do you mean?
PinoI've just never seen markings such as the ones on your wings. I'm a bit of a butterfly aficionado.
Butterfly YueliaOh, yeah, these are just your normal, everyday, run- of-the-mill Castele butterfly markings. No big deal.
PinoI see. Well, you have earned the courtesy of resting here for a bit to gather your strength.
PinoHowever, after that, I'm afraid I must escort you from Elderwood Village.
PinoHoomins are strictly forbidden from being in Elderwood Village. Period.
Butterfly YueliaBut...but I'm a butterfly...
PinoDuly noted. We shall discuss butterflies at the next village council meeting.
Butterfly Yuelia*I didn't think that would work!*
PinoLet me know when you're ready to leave, and I shall lift the seal upon the entrance.
PinoReady to leave? [Choice: Let's go / ,,Just a bit longer...]
PinoThen I shall escort you to the exit.
PinoI shall continue to wait on you.
PinoThere. You should be able to pass.
PinoI truly am grateful to you for rescuing my little sister. Please know that.
PinoSafe travels.
LauraI want to ask you something before we go. You owe me a moment, at the very least.
LauraHas a hoom—a human woman from Castele ever been here in Elderwood Village?
PinoA hoomin woman from Castele...?
PinoOccasionally, we get a lost hoomin wandering across our borders, but not as far as I know...
PinoWait a sec. Now that I think of it, I do remember a hoomin lady who used to visit when I was little.
PinoBack when there were many other children of the forest. That was before they all went away...
PinoActually, you do kind of remind me a little of that lady. Something about the cheeks...
LauraI knew it! Mother has been here! She has some sort of connection to this place!
Butterfly YueliaWait! Children of the forest?!
LauraButterfly, please, not only are you just stating what was just said, but you're doing it very loudly, so if—
Butterfly YueliaI've got a letter!
Butterfly YueliaWe're supposed to give this letter to the "children of the forest"!
PinoA letter...from whom?
Butterfly YueliaFrom Ophelia! The queen of Castele.
LauraA letter from Mother?! Why didn't you say something about this earlier?!
PinoQueen Ophelia?
PinoHmm...
PinoThis letter is intended for The Great Spirit herself.
PinoI shall deliver it to her personally.
PinoIncidentally...I should tell you that the name of Lady Ophelia is not unknown to me...
LauraWhat do you mean? You know my mother?!
LeafePino! Pino!
PinoWhat's wrong?
LeafeLeilah! Leilah malachanay! Collapse! Collapse!
PinoWhere is she?! Out of my way!
PinoWhat happened?!
LeafePino! Chanama dena Leilah?
LeafeLeilah chuto yamana...die?
PinoI can barely feel her pulse. She's not just... It's almost as if she's under some sort of spell.
Butterfly YueliaCould it be the effects of the Doomstone?
PinoWhat do you mean?!
Butterfly YueliaWell, I don't know for certain, but if the Doomstones have the power to possess creatures...
Butterfly YueliaLeilah was bitten earlier by one of those very Shadow Monsters filled with the stone's energy.
Butterfly YueliaCould the Doomstone's power somehow have... infected her through the bite?
PinoBeing half Other, it is possible that we could be affected by the Doomstone.
Pino...Although hoomins are not.
PinoWhat am I supposed to do? I don't know of a forest medicine that will cure this! Help me save my sister!
Butterfly Yuelia...I don't know what to do.
Butterfly YueliaIf she is indeed... I mean, I don't KNOW it's the Doomstone, but if it is...
PinoYou talk too much, just like hoomins, butterfly! What is it?!
Butterfly YueliaMaybe I could use my powers to hold back some of the Doomstone's energy.
Butterfly YueliaEveryone, just...stand back!
LauraWait...Butterfly? You're that girl we saw on top of Mount Snowpeak?!
Yuelia[Player], Laura, I'll explain later.
YueliaRight now, we need to save Leilah.
YueliaGo find the Doomstone.
PinoThe shadows are spreading across her body!
YueliaMy powers will only hold off the effects of the Doomstone temporarily.
Yuelia[Player], Laura! You must find the Doomstone and destroy it before it's too late!
LauraCome on, [Player]!
PinoCan you really save my sister?
LauraI don't know. But I can try.
PinoPlease...
PinoI'll show you two where the Doomstone landed. Let's go! Quickly now!
ButchBro, I got an idea. Let's not do dis.
PierreWhat? Nonsense, Brother. If we walk away, the Doomstone will be up for grabs!
PierreThis is our chance to make it big, don't you see?
ButchYou're only sayin' dat cuz what dat lady sez.
ButchBro, you can tell me... You think that lady is pretty, don't you? You wanna see her?
PierresEe hER?! WHerE?! pReTtY...VeRy vErY PrEtTy...
ButchYou're creepin' me out again, Bro! Stop it!
ChompyRawr! Rawr! (Creepy! Creepy!)
PierreWho are you calling creepy, you flying mutt?!
ButchAy, watch yer tone, Bro. Chompy is family.
PierreLook, Butch, I know my new obsession may be a bit...demanding. But she's quite easy on the eyes...
PierreWhich has absolutely nothing to do with the current situation! My goodness, what is wrong with me?!
LauraYou two again!
PierreYou two again!
PierreWell, you two again...minus one. Plus two. Making you now a total of three.
ButchBoy, am I so glad ta see youze guys.
ButchYou gotta help us! I dunno what to do anymore!
PierrenOtHIng wRoNg heRe JusT FIne... i SwEaR iT!
ButchBro, you're breakin' my heart here!
ChompyRawr! Rawr! (Get it together, ya bum!)
PierreUNGH!
PinoWhat are you hoomins doing sneaking around here?
PierreHoo...?
ButchI think he's talkin' to us. Right? Look, we know dis area of da forest is s'posed to be off limits, but—
PierreSILENCE, BUTCH! They have no need for every bit of information about us.
NoeliaWhat are you doing just standing around chatting?!
NoeliaDid you get what I asked for?
PierreUm, well...it's not as easy as one might think, see...
PierrePlease...just give us a little more time. We live to please. And serve. We serve to please. And live.
ButchOh, he's totally lost it.
PierreI have lost nothing! Except, uh, perhaps valuable time squabbling here!
Noelia*Good little puppy.*
NoeliaAnd what, may I ask, are you doing besides distracting my servicemen from their tasks?
NoeliaWhere's Little Miss Goody Four Shoes? And...why do you all look so serious? What happened? Tell me!
NoeliaHmm. Infected by the Doomstone? Yes, I suppose that would be quite possible.
NoeliaAnd Yuelia is using her powers to staunch the flow of the Doomstone's energy?
NoeliaPfft. Figures. Always playing the little savior.
NoeliaBased on what you've told me, though, I'm sorry to give you a bit of bad news.
NoeliaSaving your friend might not be as simple as destroying the Doomstone...
LauraWhat? Why not?!
NoeliaWhen the Doomstone takes over a creature, it happens externally. It's an exterior shell, you know?
NoeliaBut you say the girl was bitten, right?
NoeliaThat means the Doomstone's power has directly entered her bloodstream.
NoeliaI don't see how breaking the Doomstone now will help if its evil power is already inside her body.
LauraI had not thought of it like that.
PinoWell then, what do we do?! We can't just give up!
NoeliaWell...hrm.
NoeliaY'know what? I'll help you out just because, and only because, this is an interesting case.
NoeliaI don't think I've ever heard of this happening before. So let's see if I can figure this out...
NoeliaFind the Doomstone. Destroy it, and bring me a Doomstone shard.
NoeliaI think I can make a potion from its essence that will counteract the effects of the Doomstone's power.
NoeliaGOONS TO ATTENTION!
ButchMa'am, yes, ma'am!
NoeliaI'll need some other materials to synthesize this potion. You retrieve them. No excuses this time.
PierreWhatever you need from us, we got it! Promise!
NoeliaGet me mushrooms. Any kind. Every kind. As many as you can find.
NoeliaNow get a move on! Go! Those mushrooms aren't gonna pick themselves!
ButchBro, let's just go. Dis whole thing's got nuttin' to do with us!
PierreI agree, Butch.
Pierre*Let's just let them think we're helping them, and we'll take off as soon as they leave.*
PierreyEs MuShRooMS. YoUr wIsH iS mY cOmMaNd.
ButchBro! Come back!
ChompyRawr... (What a dope...)
NoeliaHeh heh heh. I love having a pet.
NoeliaYou should make haste.
NoeliaThe Doomstones have been increasing in potency lately. Who knows what could happen with it.
NoeliaThe sooner you get it, the better. When you have it, meet me back in the village.
LauraShe just turned into a butterfly too!
PinoThey could only be...goddesses.
LauraWhat? Don't be ridiculous! They're just...butterflies. That can change into...humans.
PinoYou're right. What was I thinking? They're obviously totally normal and not of any supernatural origin.
PinoLet's just do what she says, and do it quickly.
LauraRight! Let's find that Doomstone!
PinoThere it is!
LauraI'm having trouble seeing it with the vicious, shadowy beasts drooling at the sight of us.
LauraThat one in the middle is huge!
PinoDo you feel some sort of crackling of energy? Almost as if the air is alive?
LauraIt's coming from the Doomstone! Look!
PinoThat's it! I'm going in!
PinoI thought it'd be bigger.
LauraI don't know—that one is pretty big.
LauraIf they're increasing in size and energy...does that mean Reveria is running out of time somehow...?
LauraNo. I can't think about that right now.
Laura[Player], Pino...let's grab a shard and go. Now!
PinoHold on, Leilah!
NoeliaHey, you brought...all of the Doomstone shards. That's pretty impressive.
PinoPlease. Can you use them to save Leilah?
NoeliaHm? Oh, right. Yeah. Once I have all the ingredients, no prob.
NoeliaAnd here is the return of my little doggies.
ButchWe nearly got eaten by a wolf!
PierreBut we secured quite the batch of mushrooms!
NoeliaGood. You're off the hook, moon face.
PierreReally? But...what if I don't want to be off the hook?
ButchWhat's she mean by dat, Bro?
PierreHunh?! Oh, nothing. Forget it.
NoeliaI am so easily amused...
NoeliaAll right. As promised, then.
NoeliaI've got everything we need. Take me to the girl.
LeafePino! Pino! Shya Leilah! Shya!
Yuelia[Player]! Did you destroy the Doomstone?
NoeliaI have the shards right here.
YueliaNoelia?! What are YOU doing here?!
NoeliaWell, if you must know, your friends here asked me for my help.
NoeliaAs you can see, I was right. Simply smashing the Doomstone did not cure the girl.
NoeliaNow give me a moment...
NoeliaAll right...that should do it. It smells kinda like dead feet, but whatever.
NoeliaPut this on the girl. Go on!
PinoThank you!
LeafeLeilah...
LauraI think it's working! The shadows are going away!
LeafeLeilah chuymaya! Leilah saved!
YueliaIt worked! I can't believe it! Noelia, you saved her!
NoeliaEh, all in a day's work. No big whoop. You all can owe me.
YueliaNoelia!
YueliaWhatever happened to humility in success?
NoeliaDunno what happened to it. I never saw it.
YueliaYou've been so devious about trying to get your hands on Doomstones. What are you really up to?
NoeliaNah, I gave that up. The whole Doomstone thing was a dead end for me.
NoeliaBut now I think I've figured out where I can find what I'm looking for.
NoeliaSo I'll be seeing you all later. It's been giggles.
PierremIsTrEsS? wHeRe aRe yOu gOiNg? WhAt iS yOuR NeXt cOmMaNd?
ButchYou can't leave him like this!
NoeliaOh! Right.
NoeliaI guess I can un-enchant you.
NoeliaDon't say I never did you any favors.
PierreUNGH!
PierreWhere are we, Butch? What's happening?
ButchTell you the truth, Bro...I don't even know anymore.
YueliaNoelia! How could you do that?
YueliaWe've talked before about how wrong it is to go around manipulating people!
NoeliaNo, you've talked about how wrong it is. I sat there and politely nodded.
NoeliaBesides, I'm actually making good use out of a layabout who doesn't even have a Life.
NoeliaHey, maybe I've invented an entirely new Life! The Manipulator Life! My gift to Reveria! Heh heh heh.
YueliaI swear, 99% of everything you do is just plain selfish!
NoeliaOf course you would think that. You can't do anything unless it's for someone else!
NoeliaWhy don't you quit meddling in other people's affairs and focus on your own responsibilities for once?
NoeliaWe don't have much time left, you know!
YueliaI know that!
NoeliaWell, you sure don't act like you know it. Later, everyone. It's been real. A real pain in the hind wing.
Yuelia*sigh* Noelia...
PierreUgh, my head...
ButchWhat's wrong, Bro?
PierreMy mind is like a bowl of Carrotty soup. I can't remember anything.
PierreDid I do anything stupid? I remember we were out picking mushrooms...
Pierreand we ran into some girl. A pretty girl...but she was kind of weird.
ButchBro. I'm just gonna give it to you straight.
ButchYou did a lotta stupid stuff because you're such a sucker for a pretty face.
PierreYou know what, Butch? You are correct there. And I apologize for anything I don't remember.
PierreFrom this day forth, I pledge never again to lose my mind over a pretty face!
ButchYou're makin' me weepy, Bro!
PinoLeilah! Are you OK?
LeilahP-Pino?
LeilahOh my! What's going on?
LeafeLeilah mabanana! Leilah mabanana!
PierreMABANANA!
ButchBro...now remember what you said.
LeilahIt was...so dark. So cold. Thank you all. I don't know what happened. But I feel much better now.
PierreMy lady, the pleasure was all mine. There is no need for you to thank me!
PierreFor you, I would pick every mushroom in the forest and present them to you as a token of my devotion...
LeilahAnd you are...?
Butch*C'mon, Bro. Maybe we should go.*
PierreGo? Nonsense! Go where? Why would I go when my love is here?
PinoSister Leilah, I was so worried...
LeilahI'm sorry, Pino. Whatever you did...it worked. Thank you. I'm lucky to have a brother like you.
YueliaWe're so glad you're OK, Leilah!
YueliaIt must be nice to have a sibling you can...*sniff* consider a *sniff* friend. I'm sorry...
LauraOh, please don't cry!
LauraYou were such a big help, Butter— I mean, er... what should we call you?
YueliaYuelia. *sniff* My name is Yuelia.
YueliaI'm just glad everything turned out *sniff* OK. You'll have to excuse me. I'm sorry!
YueliaI'm sorry. I didn't mean to cry there.
YueliaIt's just...this whole thing has been very difficult for me. It's not just Noelia...
YueliaI feel terrible for deceiving you, [Player]. I wanted to tell you who I really was, but I just couldn't.
YueliaI thought it wasn't a big deal at first, but then we got to be friends, and then...I don't know what I thought.
YueliaI feel like I manipulated you just as much as Noelia did that goon over there. Can you forgive me? [Choice: Of course / Never]
Yuelia*sniff* Oh, [Player]...
YueliaEven after all we've been through?!
LauraWe're on your side, Yuelia!
LauraDon't be ridiculous!
LauraI don't care if you're not who you said you were. You're still you.
LauraYou're still the same butter—um, girl who helped us on our adventures. Right, [Player]?
YueliaB-but...I lied to your faces so many times!
LauraEh, I think maybe you're blowing this a bit out of proportion. If anyone knows the need for a disguise, it's the original girboy!
YueliaOh. Laura...*sniff* Thank you.
LauraLet me wipe those tears away, silly.
LauraI'm glad you are who you are now. Do you know how hard it would be to wipe away butterfly tears?
Yuelia*sniff* HA! Thank you. *sniff*
YueliaNoelia is my sister. But you probably already guessed that.
YueliaShe acts like such a selfish, spoiled brat, but she's not a bad person on the inside.
YueliaShe and I are both looking for the same thing. We're just going about it completely differently.
YueliaWe both know that in order to save Reveria, we must harness the power of wishes...
LauraHarness wishes? What do you mean?
YueliaYes, I suppose it is a rather novel concept.
YueliaBut it seems to be the only way to abate the doom that is constantly moving closer to Reveria.
YueliaFather made it very clear to us before we left...
Yuelia"To save this world from destruction, you must use the very power of wishes themselves.
YueliaIt is an energy source that has all but vanished from the hearts of those who inhabit Reveria."
YueliaSee, there is a connection between wishes and the existence of each Life in this world.
YueliaNoelia and I both came to Reveria determined to secure that power.
YueliaWe ended up getting separated somehow in our journey here, though.
LauraYou came to Reveria...from where?
YueliaFrom...a place very far away from here.
Pino[Player]! Yuelia! Laura!
PinoThe Great Spirit has spoken.
PinoShe wishes to meet with you.
YueliaReally? She wants to meet with us unproven ones?
PinoYes, well...I may have been a bit rash in my judgment. The Great Spirit read your letter, though.
PinoShe has decided to deem you all worthy. And proven, I suppose.
PinoThe forest dwellers have had a...special agreement with certain members of the royal family of Castele.
PinoAccording to The Great Spirit, you, Laura, are one of their direct descendants.
LauraOh, imagine that!
PinoThe Great Spirit waits within. When you are ready, please make your way to see her.
YueliaI can't wait to actually see The Great Spirit! Let's all go together!
PinoThe Great Spirit waits within.
PinoI have brought our guests, O Great Spirit.
Laura...Was it something we said?
PinoGreat Spirit...your hoomin voice, please.
Harmony*My apologies. How is this?*
PinoMuch better.
Harmony*I shall lower my voice so that it may be soft upon the eardrums of the hoomins.*
Harmony*My new friends, the hour of reckoning is at hand.*
Harmony*When the dark stones fall and Lunares clouds over, Reveria must join four hands together again.*
Harmony*A promise was made to the Goddess Celestia. A promise that must be honored.*
Harmony*Come together, children of hoomins...*
Harmony*Children of the forest...*
Harmony*Child of Lunares...*
LauraWho's the child of Lunares?
LauraYou're... Wait—what?!
LauraYou're from Lunares? THE Lunares? The one up in the sky?!
YueliaThat's the one!
YueliaSorry. I guess that was a bit of an abrupt reveal.
Harmony*Thou art the daughter of the Goddess Celestia. Is that not so, child of Lunares?*
YueliaWell...I guess the cat's out of the bag now.
LauraHow can you be the daughter of the Goddess?
LauraThings have come a long way from being shocked at seeing a talking butterfly.
LauraYou weren't exaggerating when you said you came from very far away.
LauraNow it makes sense why you knew so little about Life in Reveria! I thought you were just...kinda oblivious.
YueliaHA! Yes, well...that I may still be. Your world is very different from the one I come from.
PierreWhat is that thing?!
ButchIt looks like some kinda giant talking bear, Bro! Let's go pet it!
PierreDon't be a fool! That monster is likely to gobble us up as a snack!
ButchI don't think that's no monster, Bro.
ButchI like it. I think we should try to take it back home with us to Castele.
YueliaGreat Spirit, there is a question I must ask you.
Harmony*Yes, child of Lunares?*
YueliaDo you creatures and beasts of nature have wishes just as people do?
Harmony*Hoo hoo ha! An amusing question, my child. Might I answer it with a question as well?*
YueliaOf course.
Harmony*What would make you ask such a thing?*
YueliaWell...it seems to me if all beings, creatures, and even spirits had wishes, why then...
Harmony*Then their wishes could be used to help save Reveria as well?*
Harmony*Well, you are speaking of two different things, child of Lunares.*
Harmony*Most creatures of nature do not foster their own wishes. This allows the Doomstone to affect them.*
Harmony*However, we spirits are a different matter. We have evolved past this base level, similar to hoomins.*
Harmony*But we have learned to nurture our own wishes on a path that is different from hoomins.*
Harmony*It was thine own mother who encouraged us to find our own way while still coexisting with hoomins.*
YueliaMy mother was here long ago...
Harmony*Long ago indeed. And she asked me, just as you have asked now...*
Harmony*about the wishes of all of nature's creatures.*
Harmony*She showed us how hoomins lived.*
Harmony*So that we may reach a greater understanding of all beings who inhabit Reveria.*
Harmony*Because of this, our children have the power to bridge the gap between the human and spirit world.*
LauraAnd you say that I...am heir to one of those children?
Harmony*Indeed, thou art an heir to one of our hoomin children who inhabit the world beyond the forest.*
PinoBut there are others here. Like Leilah and myself.
Harmony*I sense the presence of a dear friend who comes to us after too long of an absence...*
LauraMother?!
OpheliaI'm glad to see you are well, Great Danuta. It seems you have grown more leaves since last I saw you.
HughesSo this is The Great Spirit of the forest... I guess it wasn't just a legend, after all...
LauraWhat are you two doing here?! Hughes, where have you been?! We could've used your help earlier!
Harmony*Your child possesses the same fires of youth that you had at that age, Lady Ophelia.*
OpheliaShe can indeed be quite a reflection of myself. It is one of her saving graces. Hee hee.
OpheliaThe last time I was here, I was indeed a child.
Harmony*I remember it like it was a decade ago.*
OpheliaHee hee! Yes, very funny, Great Danuta. I'm glad to see you have not lost your sense of humor.
Harmony*What is a Life, if not the time when one finds room for laughter?*
HughesLife can be many things! Some of us prefer to spend our days working rather than engaging in trifles.
HughesWe have been busy gathering the Goddess Treasures.
HughesThus far, we have the Goddess Cog,
Hughesthe Goddess Anchor,
Hughesand the Goddess Compass!
Harmony*Oh my. You have been busy, hoomin.*
YueliaWe truly have been, Great Spirit!
YueliaThrough these travels, we've met so many interesting people and seen so many splendid things!
HughesAnd yet, all of this splendidness has brought us to an impasse!
HughesFor legend tells that the Goddess bestowed a fourth treasure to a race that was not human.
HughesWe believe the Goddess did bequeath such a gift to you and your people.
HughesIt is this final treasure we desire!
HughesO Great Spirit! Tell us of your treasures!
Harmony*Do you always speak like this?*
HughesErm...no. I thought that's how people talked to you. My first time here. Sorry.
HughesWell then, if I may speak plainly, it is clear that these treasures are mere parts of a greater whole. Or should I say...a greater hull.
LauraLike, for a ship?
Harmony*The poofy-haired hoomin speaks accurately.*
HughesYES! I love it when I'm affirmed by big...spirit bears...
HughesYou're speaking of the mythical Goddess Ship of legend, yes? It really exists?!
Harmony*It is interesting how you speak of myth and legend as if they were...untrue.*
Harmony*The Goddess Ship is from an ancient time for you. But for me it was mere centuries ago.*
Harmony*Such lengths of time are but drops in a greater ocean for us.*
Harmony*We see eons go. We see lives pass. We see wishes live and die. And yet, the Spirit Tree watches all.*
HughesI've never come across anything called a Spirit Tree in any of my research.
LauraIt's something...that Mother used to talk about... A symbol of everlasting Life reaching to the heavens.
Harmony*My children. It is time that you ascended the Spirit Tree. There you will find what you seek.*
Harmony*I shall now bequeath unto thee that which the Life Goddess Celestia granted unto me.*
Harmony*I have long watched over it, and now I entrust its care to thee.*
HughesThe fourth Goddess Treasure!
YueliaThank you, Great Spirit!
PinoI'll guide you up the Spirit Tree. It's easy to get lost.
PinoYou two might as well come too.
PierreUs? Uh...we were just lost, y'know, and we stopped here to check out this bush here...
ButchYeah, we was lookin' for this bush, but it turns out this isn't the right one at all. So we should go.
PinoNonsense. You two helped save my sister...even if you didn't mean to. Please come.
LauraAre you ready for this, Yuelia?
YueliaI hope so! I'm so excited, I can't stop shaking!
LauraLet's go, [Player]! To the Spirit Tree!
Yuelia[Player]! We're coming with you, of course!
PierreAre we—are we on the ground? Are we gonna fall?
ButchBro! I didn't know you were scared of heights!
PierreI'll have you know I have a medical condition called... heightorachnaphobia!
PinoThere it is...
LauraWow. The Goddess Ship...
HughesAnd to think here it has sat all these years...
YueliaI can't believe it. My mother's ship...
LauraSo I know it's old and all, but...um...does it work?
HughesGood question. It looks...quite well kept.
PinoThe entry is open. You may enter at your leisure.
HughesOooh hoo hoo hoo! An ancient vessel! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
LauraJust follow Hughes.
LauraStunning! So clean! So polished! How—how has it been maintained in such a preserved state?
OpheliaIt is the power of the Spirit Tree.
OpheliaAnd the Great Danuta has protected the tree, allowing the Goddess Ship to be safely preserved.
OpheliaI love the view from up here. You can see Reveria in all its splendor.
OpheliaOh, how I wish Erik could be here to see this...
LauraMother, does Father even know you're here?
LauraDid you sneak out with the Rope Ladder?!
OpheliaOh, your father knows. Although he was vehemently opposed to my going. Vehemently.
OpheliaYou know how stubborn he can get. I had no choice but to use the strongest weapon in my arsenal.
OpheliaYour father has always had a soft spot for apple pie.
OpheliaAfter that, he was much more open to reason.
LauraOh, Daddy. He worries too much. It's going to end up shrinking him even more.
LauraLet's go inside the ship, [Player]!
YueliaYes! Let's do it!
YueliaI can't believe it! This was Mother's ship...
Hughes...Fascinating... Yes... Yes... Hmm... AHA!
HughesBut if that goes into there, then that means this must come out here, which would mean this—
LauraHughes!
HughesOh, sorry, Princess! I didn't realize anyone else was in here.
LauraHow does it look?
HughesIt looks...glorious. The ship itself is in mint condition. The mechanisms are all in place.
HughesI'm still not certain of all the intricacies of the engine.
HughesI think I understand the basic structure, but I'll still need a bit more time with it.
LauraYuelia?
YueliaHm... Take a look at this.
LauraWhat are those books?
YueliaI'm not sure. I'm...unfamiliar with these symbols.
LauraOh, that's music.
YueliaThis is not music—it's a book.
LauraHeh heh. No, it's sheet music. Musicians read it while they perform so they know what to play.
YueliaAh. I see...
LauraDon't tell me you've never seen sheet music before?!
YueliaNo. Where I come from, music simply...flows from the heart.
LauraWell, la-di-da! In Reveria, we're not all born natural musicians. Looks like these are all folk songs.
LauraI don't know this one, though.
YueliaI feel like...like I know these songs somehow.
YueliaIt's almost as if I've been here before.
YueliaYou know, I really have so few memories of my mother. But one thing I do recall...
Yueliais her sweet singing voice. It was so lovely.
YueliaI would give anything to hear her sing again.
YueliaThis ship is bringing back so many vague memories for me.
YueliaI recall Mother talking about how she once saved Reveria from doom. ...Can I do now as she did then?
LauraOf course you can. We all can!
YueliaLunares...the color is shifting.
LauraThat X is getting quite red.
YueliaNoelia was right.
YueliaWe're running out of time.
YueliaIn order to save Reveria from destruction, we must find a way to harness all of its resources.
YueliaIf we cannot find a way to do this soon, I fear the worst shall befall us.
LauraYuelia...
ErikLET ME GO, MUSTACHE!
Laura...Father?!
MustangYour Highness! Please! You mustn't run up here! It's too dangerous!
ErikStop treating me like I'm some sort of child! I am a grown man...inside a child's body!
ErikMy dearest daughter, Laura! My loving wife, Ophelia! You are both safe! I was so worried about you!
ErikAh, and, [Player]! And...you, strange girl from Mount Snowpeak. You must be Yuelia. Hello.
ErikThe Great Spirit and Leilah filled me in on everything.
ErikI apologize I could not arrive earlier. Royal matters tied me up at the castle.
Mustang*...Licking apple pie off your robe tied you up...*
ErikSILENCE! You're just jealous you didn't get any.
ErikNow. Child of Lunares!
YueliaYes, Your Highness!
ErikWe have all been deeply touched by your devotion to our land of Reveria.
ErikYou have given us reason to see the folly of living Life in fear rather than love.
ErikBy crossing many lands and befriending many leaders, you have shown us to be truly one land.
ErikNo longer shall we be bound by silly local laws or obsolete oaths.
ErikI have spoken with The Great Spirit. We have agreed to join the forest with the rest of Reveria.
ErikOnly through this unity can we forestall the threat we all currently face.
LeilahPino! That means we can be friends with all of the hoomins again!
Pino...Joy.
OpheliaDearest, I'm starting to remember why I married you.
ErikIt's the lack of facial hair, isn't it? Well, I am glad to feel appreciated, dear. Now, if I may... *ahem*
ErikI have made a decision to hold a Reveria Summit!
ErikWe shall gather representatives from every region...
Erikand combine our skills and knowledge to decide upon a decisive course of action!
ErikEveryone shall attend. The heroes, the sorcerers, the pirates...even the spirits!
ErikAll those who reside in our glorious land of Reveria!
ErikOur theme shall be "Save Your Planet"!
ErikAnd there will be cookies and tea for everyone!
YueliaOh, that sounds quite lovely.
OpheliaThe tea is a nice touch.
LauraI'm proud of you for committing to working with the other kingdoms, Father.
ErikA word of praise I just heard from my daughter? My, I'd almost forgotten what that sounded like.
YueliaI feel so much more positive about the chances of this happening now!
ErikJust one last item, then. Hughes? Will this ship fly?
HughesYes, well...about that...
HughesThe ship shares several design characteristics with our contemporary airships. However...
Hughesthe engine is composed of several mechanisms I've never seen before. I need time to examine them.
HughesTime and manpower.
HughesLOITERERS TO ATTENTION!
PierreUs?! You want us to...do something with the engine?
ButchBro! Dis could be it! Dis could be our big callin'!
ButchHe needs assistants for researchin'! You an' me!
ChompyRawr, rawr! (Get a Life!)
PierreNow, Butch, you know that as a natural-born leader I could never be anyone's assistant!
LeilahI will be an assistant.
PierreProfessor Hughes, kindly accept my loyal service! I shall break my back to get this airship flying!
PierreIt has long been my dream to serve as a research assistant aboard an ancient ship of legend!
PierreIndeed, in my younger days, I often considered taking up carpentry, sailing, and...assistantship!
HughesWe need all the help we can get. If you're willing to work, then please climb aboard.
Yuelia[Player]?
YueliaThere is someone I still need to apologize to.
YueliaPam has been just as much of a friend to me as anyone since I arrived here.
ErikFORMER BUTTERFLY, YUELIA!
YueliaYes, Your Highness?!
ErikI offer you a king's congratulations for your discovery of the legendary Goddess Ship.
ErikMeaning my congratulations. I'm that king who congratulates. I really need to stop doing that.
ErikPreparations for the Reveria Summit may take some time, but we will try to hasten the process.
ErikYou should all take this opportunity to rest and refresh yourselves.
YueliaMight I return to Castele for a bit? There is someone I would like to speak with.
ErikOf course! Return to wherever your nonbutterfly wings shall take you!
ErikGo tell Pam of your great deeds here! And please remind her that her insurance premiums are due.
YueliaY-yes, Your Highness. Thank you.
LauraI think we'll return to Castele as well shortly.
YueliaThank you for all of your help, Laura. I want you to know you're a wonderful friend.
LauraI can only say the same for you as well, Yuelia.
LauraI shall return to the castle to help Mother and Father plan this Reveria Summit.
LauraI shall see you all again soon!
YueliaOK, [Player]! Let's return to Castele!
YueliaI need to talk to Pam immediately.
PamOh my! Welcome back, you two!
PamWhere have you been off to this time?
YueliaWe've been to the Elderwood!
YueliaThere was a village in there filled with spirits and a huge tree that we climbed up!
YueliaAnd when we got there, we could see all of Reveria! And there was The Great Spirit too! It was amazing!
PamWell, you must be tired from such a journey!
PamSave the stories for tomorrow. For now, you should get some rest.
YueliaI'm with you on that one, Pam!
YueliaWait a second! You...you know who I am?!
PamHmm? What do you mean?
PamYou're Butterfly, of course. How could I not know who you are? Did you change something?
YueliaD-d-did I...?
PamTee hee! Oh, my dear...
PamDid you honestly think I didn't recognize your voice from our stargazing conversations?
PamI figured it wasn't any of my business why you chose to be a girl by night and a butterfly by day.
PamDon't we all have a few peculiar habits? I'm not one to judge!
YueliaOh, well...hrm.
YueliaIt was meant to be a secret. I didn't think you knew.
PamWell...you can rest assured I told no one. Next time I see you, I'll act more surprised.
PamI did find this on my doorstep. It looks like another gift from the king.
PamHe also had some divine sugared water sent over! Would you like a taste? It's quite good!
YueliaUm...that's OK. Now that I'm not a butterfly, I guess I can say...*I'm not really a fan of sugared water.*
PamOh my! Isn't it the worst when you pretend to like something and it snowballs into a, y'know, "thing"? Well, you go on and get some rest. You've earned it.
???No luck today, either.
???I know it's out there in the sky somewhere, though...
???One day...I swear it, old man. One day, I'm gonna find it.
???Robin!
RobinYes, sir?!
???Get over here, will ya? I'm not payin' you to stand around doin'...whatever it is you're doin'!
RobinBe right there, sir!
???What's wrong, my dear? You were gazing at that Goddess Statue the other night as well... *sigh* Yeah...once I start thinking of Mother, my mind just goes off in so many different directions. You are a sweet child. A child is a mother's greatest treasure. Her...legacy, if you will. I only wish I could've told my mother how proud of her I am. She did so much... Carrying on her name, her spirit, and inside you, her Life, is thanks enough. For any mother. Do you really think so, Pam? I know so. Now off to bed and get some rest! People are relying on you, my dear. You're right. Good night! And, Pam? Thank you.
Butterfly Yuelia[Player]! Let's hurry up and read that letter!
LeilahPino... It hurts...
LeilahDid you see my big brother scowl when he heard the king talk about uniting everyone?
LeilahDon't be fooled. He's actually really happy about it!
LeilahHis ears wiggle when he's pretending to be mad.
LeilahIt's all thanks to you, [Player]!
LeilahI can use the power of the spirits to send you back to Castele if you would like. [Choice: Yes, please / I'll walk]
LeilahYou'll be home before you know it!
LeilahWell, if you change your mind, I'll be here!
Laura joined your party!
Laura left your party.
Yuelia joined your party!
Yuelia left your party.
Leilah joined your party!
Leilah left your party.
Pino joined your party!
Pino left your party.
Yuelia[Player]...please!
ErikGo to the Grassy Plains and then head due north to find the Elderwood.
ErikWell done, [Player]. Well done, indeed. Please take a well-earned rest.
OpheliaIn the Elderwood, there are...many dangers.
OpheliaPlease...just be careful, and watch out for my Laura.
OpheliaI wonder if my husband is all right at the castle.
OpheliaBoth Laura and my husband are very pleased. Please accept our gratitude.
HughesWe hope to be off shortly.
HughesForest dwellers have been mentioned in the surviving folklore, but still...I had no idea!
HughesThis must be the engine. But this mechanism...? Hmmm...
HughesLooks like we've got a lot of work to do here. You just get some rest and leave it to me!
LauraIt looks like Butter—I mean Yuelia—is really worried, [Player]. Why don't you go talk to her?
LauraI think I'll head back to the castle with my parents.
BossI've never before saved lives with my mushroom- picking acumen. I feel...accomplished.
BossAm I sweating? I feel like I am...but I'm not sure. Just standing near Leilah makes... No, I'm sweating.
BossNow that I've got this job, I can hang out with Leilah!
LackeyMy bro will do anythin' fer a pretty girl... *sigh*
LackeyI like high places! It makes my belly feel sparkly!
LackeyNow we're researcher's assistants! Hughes said our first task was to find our work ethic.
Rawr? (What?)
LeilahSorry I couldn't convince my brother. He can be so stubborn. But please take some time to rest here.
LeilahThat's twice you've saved me! Thank you so much!
LeilahIsn't it so beautiful up here? I love it.
PinoHughes headed off to the ship.
PinoPlease visit us again. I know Leilah would like to see you again. And...I wouldn't mind so much either.
*Climb the Spirit Tree freely, friends.*
PamWell, it didn't take an airship scientist to figure out that Yuelia was Butterfly all along.
MinisterThe Elderwood is just north of the Grassy Plains. Please take great care.
MinisterEveryone left. I'm all on my own now.
PaladinI'd hate to be the first one on the scene wherever the Doomstone landed.
PaladinProfessor Hughes is heading into the forest where all the scary animals are. I volunteered to stay here.
PaladinAh, the forest is so still and peaceful. Except for all of the monsters, of course.
PaladinStepping into the forbidden forest is a surefire way to never set foot out of it!
PaladinIf Hughes called for me from deep inside the forest... I might have to pretend I didn't hear him.
LeafeMele no nachama Leilah?
LeafeLeilah suyata!

PaladinThat's the Elderwood up ahead.
PaladinThis path is off limits!
PaladinThis path is off limits!
PaladinMind your manners before the king!
