Shipwrecks?
Aquella: You litter the sea floor with your broken ships... barrels, ropes, bones thrown overboard.
Aquella: Turning my beautiful sea floor into this!
Aquella: And now, through some no doubt insidious magic... you can breathe underwater!
Aquella: More and more of you humans keep coming down here... and now you gather your broken ships together and make a town!
Aquella: "The Locker" is not a welcome sight and if I ever get my staff back I'll sweep it back to where it came from!
What happened to your staff?
Aquella: It's lost.
Aquella: One day I'll find it though...
Aquella: ... and I'll sweep the sea clean of all the surface pollution.
Aquella: So, if I were you I'd leave before I find my staff.

Aquella: !!!
As You Lie Dreaming...
Aquella: What happened to them? Tell me!
Aquella: *sniff* ... *sniff*
Rescue!
Aquella: *sniff* I...thank you, <Character>. I don't deserve to be saved though. It's all...*sniff* It's all my fault.
Aquella: No, there's only me left. I'm the only one left who can protect the water and...and...I don't know how! It's all my fault the water elves are gone.
Aquella: I made them disappear!
Deserted
Aquella: ...
Aquella: They told me not to touch it, but it was so pretty and blue. I... I... just wanted to see it!
Aquella: They were all so proud of it, they said it was what protected the waters... what protected us.
Aquella: So I didn’t listen... I snuck in and...
Aquella: *gasp*
Aquella: PRETTY!!!
Aquella: Hmm...
Aquella: I'm just gonna play with it for a little while, that's all...
Aquella: Hee hee!
Aquella: ...Yes.
Aquella: The other elves caught me...
Aquella: I can still see their faces, how angry they were.
Aquella: I ran away!
Aquella: I didn’t mean to do anything bad! I... I just didn't want to see them looking so disappointed at me.
Aquella: I found a place to sleep and... I had a terrible nightmare...
Aquella: When I woke up, I went right back home... and everyone was gone! The whole city was deserted!
Aquella: *Sniff*
Aquella: I've tried to protect the water since then and now look at it. It's all my fault!
Aquella: No! I don’t want to go there... I don't want to see it empty again.
Aquella: ...Really?
The Bottom
Aquella: <Character>?
Aquella: Where.... where are we going?
Easter Egg:
spoiler:
Aquella: ... <Character>?
Aquella: <Character> why won't you answer me?
Aquella: <Character> I don't know what you're talking about!
Aquella: Just tell me! Where are we going?
Aquella: You're so weird, <Character>. Why are we here?
Aquella: Bu...but why into the trench?
Aquella: What? Who does?
Aquella: <Character>... please, I'm scared. I don't want to go.
Aquella: Have to what? What are you saying, <Character>?
Aquella: <Character>?
Aquella: What?
Aquella: Told me what?
Aquella: <Character> is my friend, he/she saved me from you!
Aquella: I... I...
Aquella: Tell me what?
Aquella: ...
Aquella: You... you know what happened?
Aquella: Tell me what happened!
Aquella: Nooo....
Aquella: *(sniff)* No, please...
Risen
Aquella: Me? But... but, I can't do it alone.
Aquella: I... I don't know how though.
Aquella: But... but... it's all my fault.... all the elves are gone.
Aquella: Lilithe! But how?
Aquella: But if I hadn't played with the Orb...
Aquella: It's gone...
Defending Against the Darkness
Aquella: <Character>, it's been a long time.
Aquella: I thought I warned you before about you humans leaving broken things in my waters.
Aquella: There's something even worse in the water, <Character>.
Aquella: It looked... it looked like it was once human but now... now Darkness has seeped through it.
Aquella: Whatever it's called... it's trying to find out more about you, I think. It visited The Locker... Tethys... it almost woke the Ancient One.
Aquella: I don't think it was prepared for... whatever it was shown.
Aquella: Even in sleep, the Ancient One plays games if you get too close.
Aquella: No, but it emerged close to here. Be careful, <Character>...
Aquella: ...you humans need to survive to eventually start cleaning up your messes. Good luck...
Recreation!
Aquella: Oh, hello, <Character>. Looks like we're getting all sorts of visitors today.
Aquella: Oh, do you know these people, <Character>?
Aquella: None at all. While there is always danger down here, I welcome the change of pace.
Aquella: Greetings, friends of <Character>.
Aquella: I am Aquella, a water elf, and protector of the seas.
Aquella: While you are welcome as guests here, please be sure not to leave anything behind when it comes time for you to leave.
Aquella: Our ecosystem is a precious one. If it falls out of—
Aquella: Er. Yes? I am a water elf.
Aquella: Thanks to the efforts of <Character>, my people have been restored from the clutches of the Ancient One.
Aquella: Hmm. I see. So this Remthalas was one of the Abyssal Elves...
Aquella: Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, there has been no change from the depths.
Aquella: The Ancient One's hold over that long-abandoned place is as strong as ever.
Aquella: There is no easy answer.
Aquella: In ages past, the Abyssal Elves were charged by Neso with securing the depths of the seas— maintaining order, and defending from threats.
Aquella: But when the Ancient One woke, chaos spread.
Aquella: Spread throughout the entire ocean, until all were lost.
Aquella: I did. But for the Abyssal Tribe, it has been far, far too long.
Aquella: Even if I were to try, there is likely nothing left of them to bring back.
Aquella: There is... one thing.
Aquella: But it will be a dangerous and perilous journey.
Aquella: While purifying the entire ocean of the Ancient One's corruption is outside of my current ability...
Aquella: I can lead you into the depths. To a sacred site of the Abyssal Elves.
Aquella: The Abyssal Elf civilization spanned the seas. There were many, many of them.
Aquella: What I mean is...
Aquella: The ancient adepts will seek us out in great numbers. They will try to stop our descent.
Aquella: And once we reach the bottom, I will need to be defended as I purify the area.
Aquella: It's a possibility. But I will be there to protect you.
The Dreamers' Abyss
Aquella: ...This looks like the place.
Aquella: Yes. The Ancient One's presence here is not as strong as the surrounding depths.
Aquella: This will do.
Aquella: You've done so much already, clearing the way here. But...
Aquella: It will take me some time to draw upon my magic and purify the area.
Aquella: And while The Ancient One's grasp over this place is weaker, it is still powerful.
Aquella: He will not relinquish his hold so easily.
Aquella: Hopefully it won't come to that. The Ancient One still slumbers, and I'll do my best not to disturb that rest.
Aquella: Thank you. Now, I'll begin preparations—
Aquella: Oh. Oh!
Aquella: Oh no. Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry! I completely forgot about the water pressure!
Aquella: My people, the Water Elves, we're adapted to the underwater depths.
Aquella: We don't have to worry about such things and it completely slipped my mind!
Aquella:Maybe we should turn back. This was a bad idea. Oh no.
Aquella: If I got you hurt, or worse, <Character>, after everything you've done for me and my people—
Aquella: Yes. Yes, you're right. Just... Oh, be careful on our way up. Don't surface too fast, um...
Aquella: Right. I apologize! I shall begin.
Aquella: Okay! I've got a connection!
Aquella: Hold on...!
Aquella: Yes, it's definitely fighting back. The corruption won't let go so easily!
Aquella: Begone! Begone from this place!
Aquella: Disperse the shade!
Aquella: It... It is done.
Aquella: The Ancient One no longer holds sway over this place.
Aquella: He can try. But my people will defend it. I didn't choose this location at random.
Aquella: This is the entrance to an ancient temple. From among the oldest of our stories, it's said a... creature of massive size once made this its home.
Aquella: The Abyssal Tribe received its blessings, and together, they kept the depths in balance.
Aquella: We'll make sure it's secure, and we'll see if there's anything we can uncover that can aid us in our battle against the Ancient One.
Aquella: What a curious question.
Aquella: I would. I will, and I do.
Aquella: If not me and my kind, then who else?
Aquella: I have the power to fight back against The Ancient One.
Aquella: I will not squander it.
Aquella: We should get you back to the surface safely before Notha tires out.
Aquella: I can't say I'm all too familiar with the exact methods of the Abyssal Tribe's funerary customs, but I can try.
Aquella: Um. Would we have to go back to get the body?
Aquella: Inside. Yes. Of course.
Aquella: How about this? If you bring the remains out, I'll examine them.
Aquella: If there is any risk of him becoming a conduit for The Ancient One, I'll return him to your care.
Aquella: If, on the other hand, I sense nothing amiss, then I'll see what I can do about a proper Water Elf send off.
Ancient Abyss: Epilogue
Aquella: Please, do not rush me. I must be certain.
Aquella: Just about finished!
Aquella: I must say, this is the first time I've seen an Abyssal Elf in person that has not been... twisted.
Aquella: I've seen ancient paintings, carvings... what little we've recovered.
Aquella: Hm. Curious.
Aquella: Ah. No, nothing relevant.
Aquella: I can safely say, though, that his remains do not have any residual corruption from The Ancient One.
Aquella: Besides his biology, which is quite similar to that of Water Elves, I doubt there's anything for you to uncover, Notha.
Aquella: I'm sure.
Aquella: You know, some legends say that certain members of the Abyssal Tribe would carve up their remains...
Aquella: ...And scatter them to the sea, for the myriad of scavengers and tiny creatures to feed on.
Aquella: Returning to the depths from the very height of existence.
Aquella: Not quite what you had in mind?
Aquella: There are other rites too, of course. Many less grisly. Mostly.
Aquella: ...How would you describe Remthalas in life?
Aquella: You explained his story to me earlier, but what kind of person was he?
Aquella: I think I understand. His dream for his people must have been his driving force. That dream, then, became twisted by Kathool's influence.
Aquella: ...Then I shall release him into the water whence he came.
Aquella: There, he may watch over this temple, the start of the reclamation of the Abyssal depths.
Aquella: Then I shall begin. It will be quick.
Aquella: May you watch over our endeavors, Remthalas.
Aquella: I'm glad I could help! Now, shall we return to the Locker? I can prepare some seaweed sandwiches if you'd like!
Aquella: Do not worry. I sent his water along a current to the outer boundaries of the temple. There was never any risk of... um...
Aquella: Disrespect.
The Shape of You
Aquella: Come with me.
Aquella: I need help clearing out a nest of invaders. They managed to sneak into Metis; an ancient pilgrimage fortress of my people.
Aquella: I'm sorry that I can't tell you more about what dangers to expect inside. All I know about it is from songs that our eldest and veterans taught us.
Aquella: I asked around, but those who know the original meaning are no longer with us. Not everyone who was restored was here or... alive.
Aquella: That is not your fault, and don't you dare tell yourself otherwise.
Aquella: Never give the Ancient One such an easy door into your mind, or you won't notice how much more of its dream becomes a part of you!
Aquella: From the records we could put together, I know this place opened rarely, and that my people would cleanse it to prepare for a very important occasion.
Aquella: I was trying to find a way to open it when these savages burst out from the inside and scattered all over!
Aquella: I don't think they took over any defenses, but if we don't deal with them soon, they might...
Aquella: I don't know! It's a strange gang. Saltwater Galeocerda, pirates, surface dwellers in odd wrappings.... They're a desperate bunch.
Aquella: You'd think they're starving, the way they scramble for any catch. I had to wait for them to get back from a big hunt to have a chance to get you.
Aquella: That's the worst part. I don't know how they got into Metis before I did.
Aquella: The doors were undisturbed until they forced them open from the inside. And there are so many of them...
Aquella: If I take too long, they'll ruin the place. If I cut loose to drive them out, I'll ruin the interior myself...
Aquella: But if I try to find out how they're getting in and take too long, they might attack Tethys while I'm gone!
Aquella: Thank you so much. I know I didn't exactly ask in the rush... And...
Aquella: Um. Maybe. Try not to pass out?
Aquella: I don't think there's a portal in there. The magic of the fortress was dormant, so I'm pretty sure I'd have noticed a magical disturbance...
Aquella: I thought there might be a tunnel, but nothing I've found before connects to it. If we find one, you could go in while I strike from the entrance.
Aquella: I don't know. Our warriors don't come here, but I do. Could I really have missed so much movement here?
Aquella: There! They look like they're searching too! We should be on the right path!
Aquella: You're telling me. Was it already open when they dug it up? This has to be it. I'll go back to Metis and rush them. Take care, and give it your all!
Aquella: They have a huge swarm, I will give them that, but–
Aquella: Wait, stay close to me!
Aquella: You have a lot to answer for, invader. Just who are you?!
Aquella: ...That's a water elf hero's name.
Aquella: Surrender now, and face justice with some dignity.
Aquella: You're not getting anything out of your followers' deaths, and I will not let you damage my people's legacy any further.
Aquella: My place is here with my people, and we will not be your minions or your food!
Aquella: Is this what it's going to be like every time someone sets their eyes on our domain?
Aquella: Bloodshed and more bloodshed, even when it's obviously not going to help anyone?
Aquella: There's always a choice.
Aquella: There has to be. My people chose to step away from all that ruthlessness and chaos, to keep to their own and protect the depths.
Aquella: ...No, I understand. I'll do what it takes to keep my people safe, and most of the time it's just a matter of driving threats away.
Aquella: Other times, it's as you say. And those have been... Taking a piece of me with them.
Aquella: I've been seeing it change how the people of Tethys look at me and what they expect of me.
Aquella: That's the part that weighs on me more than anything else. It's why I wanted to open Metis again.
Aquella: A time to "show the last tide who we chose to be" and "send that legacy back to the sea". I don't get that second part yet, but... Um.
Aquella: This is amazing... I thought this was a place of war, not... Look!
Aquella: ... Hyonix.
Aquella: Don't think for a moment that you're not invited.
