Dialogue
*In Swordhaven's Ivory Tower, as Jaania levitates and reads a book, Akanthus meet with her, where he notices that Jaania has conducted another experiment.*
Akanthus: My Lady. From the state of disarray in the tower, I assume you have conducted another... unscheduled experiment?
*Akanthus looks at Jaania's newly created Elemental Spirit, Hesperrhodos.*
Akanthus: ...And this thing must be the fruit of your labors.
Jaania: Good. You've returned. Quite the resounding success, isn't he?
*Akanthus glares at Jaania.*
Akanthus: As long as its presence hastens our departure, I have no complaints.
Jaania: Regarding that, Queen Victoria has been asking how long I intend to keep the airship over Swordhaven.
Jaania: I would like to have more practice before we leave, however.
Jaania: It appears even the simplest of weaving techniques can result in significant complications.
*Scene shifts to the various clothing that Jaania wove across the floor.*
Akanthus: From the scattered trinkets around your office, I'd hazard to say you've managed to grasp the basics.
Jaania: Indeed. But I imagine there is a great difference between weaving simple clothing and weaving the threads of the soul.
Jaania: What scant admonitions against the practice I can find seem to greatly overexaggerate the difficulty.
Jaania: Hm.
Jaania: ...How ever did you procure these texts, Akanthus?
Jaania: Ah, never mind that—
Jaania: I require a more hands-on approach.
*Jaania thinks how she will weave the threads of the soul.*
Jaania: Ah, yes.
Jaania: Princess Brittany's mysterious ailment.
Jaania: She's suffered for so long. But now, with Hesperrhodos at my side...
Jaania: I can fix her. I will fix her.
Jaania: Akanthus, I will need your assistance in preparing the poor girl's chamber.
*Akanthus pauses before abiding Jaania's order.*
Akanthus: ...Very well, my Lady.
*In the ship, the Alliance make their final plans to take down the Hollow Tytan.*
Kord: We did it! We made it! The fresh air! Safety at last!
Mritha: It's not over yet.
Kord: You... you can't make me go back there. I can't.
Kord: I won't!
G. M. Hansa: Trust me. No one's asking you to join us.
<Character>: We destroyed the Tytan's internal power source, but it's only gotten more active.
Kara SuLema: It has to be getting energy from somewhere.
<Character>: ...I bet that "somewhere" is the Wastes. It must be getting power from through the Rift!
G. M. Hansa: From the flow of mana...
G. M. Hansa: Yes. That would make sense.
<Character>: Our next objective should be to close it off, then.
Ostromir: Er...
<Character>: With The Great One keeping the Tytan occupied, we should be able to sail past, and escort Ostromir and Vseslava to the base.
Ostromir: That... might not be possible.
<Character>: What do you mean?
Vseslava: We expended much more mana than we intended in our fungal adventure.
Ostromir: What with creating those wonderful Containment Units, as well as powering our own filters...
Ostromir: Not to mention all that running back and forth!
Kara SuLema: ...You can't close the Rift?
Ostromir: Well, now, I would not say we can not.
Ostromir: Just the probability of us stumbling across a spare functional Ignonimous is quite unlikely.
Vseslava: I am sorry.
Vseslava: We expected the delivery of additional resources some time ago, but with the Magesterium scattered, that has not been possible.
Mritha: You could have mentioned it earlier.
Ostromir: We did not know how much this encounter would take from us!
G. M. Hansa: What if you diverted power from your suits?
Vseslava: Excuse me?
G. M. Hansa: From what I can tell, your suits and helmets are drawing from your reserves, aren't they?
Ostromir: The mad woman is suggesting we travel this land... naked?!
Vseslava: ...As Ostromir so elegantly put it, that would be indecent. And unsanitary.
Captain Lestrad: ...Ahem! Sorry to interrupt.
Captain Lestrad: Not that I wish to doubt the majesty of The Great One, but...
Captain Lestrad: Even if we had a way to close the Rift, would The Great One— would Dragonsgrasp— last long enough for us to reach it?
*The entire Alliance falls silent before reminding the Rift's location.*
Galanoth: The Rift is deep in the Northlands. Even on dragonback, I doubt we would make it in time.
Mritha: There has to be something we can do!
<Character>: We're not giving up.
<Dragon>: We'll just have to help The Great One fight the Tytan! | *Heroic roar!*
<Dragon>: We can find a way to close the Rift thing later. | *Surprisingly well reasoned growl*
Mritha: Right! Of course! The Great One could use our help!
Kord: I knew it. You want to go back to the Tytan!
<Character>: Yes! Galanoth, can you talk to The Great One? Ask them if there's anything we can do to help!
Galanoth: Of course.
*Galanoth's eyes glow green as he speaks with The Great One.*
Geno: We're kind of in the middle— of something!
Kratos: You little ones want to help, do you?
Geno: The creature draws its power from beyond.
Kratos: Find a way to cut it off.
Kara SuLema: We won't reach the Rift in time. And even if we could, Ostromir and Vseslava don't have the mana to bring it under control.
Geno: Hrmph.
Kratos: It is connected from below the ocean. By its legs.
Geno: Attack it there.
Kratos: Cut it off, destabilize it.
Geno: Maybe only distract it.
<Character>: Got it. Come on, <Dragon>. Let's take down a Tytan. | So. We need a way to get to the Tytan's legs.
Mritha: Odgne and I will keep watch. | Odgne and I will lend you our wings.
Kara SuLema: What about us? Is there any way we can help?
G. M. Hansa: I, for one, am exhausted. And I doubtless imagine The Golden Hand feel the same.
Vseslava: Not like we could do anything to help in our current state.
<Character>: Kara, please, take care of everyone.
Kara SuLema: Are you sure you don't want to rest a little longer?
<Character>: You know we don't have time for that.
*You and Mritha ride their dragons to legs of the Hollow Tytan as The Great One hold the Hollow Tytan back.*
Summon Titan Dragon To Battle! (DA Required) - equips DragonRider class; begins gauntlet.
Join Mritha on Odgne! - equips DragonRider (Odgne) class; begins gauntlet.
Heal - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions.
Run Away! - returns to Dragesvard's Shore.
*After defeating the limbs of the Hollow Tytan, The Great One fall to Tyndur's Depths with the Hollow Tytan.*
Geno: We have you now!
Kratos: Your path, your power...
Geno: All the way to that abhorrent tear and beyond!
Kratos: That flow shall be forever severed!
*As The Great One fall to Tyndur's Depths with the Hollow Tytan, they cast a green squiggly line spell that travels through the Hollow Tytan to below Tyndur's Depths and to the Northlands Rift; Vilmor and Cryozen Jr look at the events unfolding in a cliff as The Great One closes the Rift; after the rift is closed, all of the fungi from the Rift wither.*
Vilmor: ...Looks like they didn't need our help, after all.
???: *Solemn chirp*
Vilmor: Yes, there's still a lot to clean up, isn't there?
*The Great One's mountain, which contains Dragonsgrasp, and Dragesvard are standing nearly each other in Tyndur's Depths following the battle; scene fades to black as The Great One takes a rest.*
Geno: Hmm... That was quite... the exertion.
Kratos: Some rest... is in order.
Geno: We wonder...
Kratos: How... will the world be different when we wake?
Geno: ...
Kratos: ...
Geno: We hope the little one will remain, at least.
Kratos: ...The human isn't too bad either.
