Act 1: Everbloom Hollow

Lilisette: Did... did we do it?

Atomos: GraAaAaaaAA..aAaaaAa!

Cait Sith Ceithir: ....C-curses.

Cait Sith Ceithir: It... it's gone and strained itself... Overexerted...

Cait Sith Ceithir: No... I refuse to accept... Won't end here... like this... Lilith...

Cait Sith: Ceithir! Don't you dare run away! Escape responsibility!

Lilisette: Wh-what should we do!?

Cait Sith: Follow me! You've nothing to fear! Won't come to harm!

Lilisette: A-all right. Come on, PLAYERNAME! Let's do this!

You allow yourself to be consumed by Atomos, and you appear in the realm of Atomos.

Act 2: Walk of Echoes

Lilisette: Hm? Where... are we? What is this place?

Lilisette: Portia!

Haudrale: More familiar faces... A merry day this is proving to be.

Cait Sith Ceithir: Li... Lilith... help...

Haudrale: Take not another step, cat.

Cait Sith Ceithir: A-Atomos... went out of control... I... I couldn't...

Portentous Woman: Awww, my sweet, pitiful kitten. Look what's happened to you. The colors have all but left your face.

Cait Sith Ceithir: Li... Lilith!

Portentous Woman: My heart aches to imagine all you've suffered. Come. Come and be comforted and freed from your pain.

The woman holds Ceither and wraps her wings around him.

Portentous Woman: Now tell me, if you will. How was it that you allowed Atomos to swallow her up? You ought to count your lucky stars she wasn't digested.

Portentous Woman: Still, I cannot overlook such a gross act of negligence, nor can I allow it to go unpunished.

Cait Sith Ceithir: ....!

The Cait disappears between Lilith's wings.

Portentous Woman: Hmph. Pathetic.

Portentous Woman: Such an end is fitting for a creature of the Goddess.

Aquila: Awww... the poor thing... ...

Portia, who is being held by Larzos, wakes up.

Portia: Lilisette! PLAYERNAME!

Lilisette: Oh, Portia! I'm so relieved to see you safe!'''

Portentous Woman: So, this is the PLAYERNAME of whom praise is so copiously lavished.

Portentous Woman: Tell me, Cait Sith. This PLAYERNAME here... he is one of the pieces you dug up?

Cait Sith: Th-that's right!

Portentous Woman: Ohohoho, you've done well for yourself. A passing glance is enough to reveal the intriguing man he is.

Cait Sith: PLAYERNAME! The winged woman who stands before you --

Haudrale: Stay your impudence, cat!

Haudrale: You speak in the hallowed presence of the most high Lady Lilith...

Haudrale: Vana'diel's great leader and custodian!

Lilisette: Vana'diel's great leader... and custodian? What's that supposed to mean?

Haudrale: That is exactly what it means.

Haudrale: The Vana'diel over which Lady Lilith presides, however, is not the decadent, stagnating realm whence you came, but a future where men and women of incomparable valor and courage take to battle still.

Cait Sith: An alternate Vana'diel where conflict rages on...

Lilisette: Huh? Is he being serious?

Lilisette: Look, I could care less for esteemed personages and the war-starved! I'm here to retrieve everyone's memory. Give it back now!

Lady Lilith: Give back...? How does one give back that which one did not take?

Lady Lilith: Might you be referring to... these?

Lady Lilith: These little orbs... They're memories taken from your dancer friends.

Lilisette: Ah!

Lady Lilith shatters an orb on a pillar.

Lilisette: !?

Lady Lilith: Sealed within were their memories of you.

Lady Lilith: Each orb was a seed that might have sprouted and bloomed myriad futures.

Lady Lilith: Alas, they were judged by Atomos to be dispensable, and thus, were devoured.

Lilisette: Dispensable... futures?

Lady Lilith: Correct. Atomos is more than a simple time portal. Since time immemorial, it has existed as the entity that devours time. A dreadful being devoid of all human consciousness.

Lady Lilith: No place in the world is safe from the voracious maw of this manipulator of dimensions. That which is deemed dispensable is devoured, digested.

Lady Lilith: ... And is finally deposited here at the wasteland of memories and time: the Walk of Echoes.

Lilisette: What... ?

Lilisette: Is this... the truth?

Lady Lilith: Mind you, your good companion Cait Sith knows of all this as well as I.

Lady Lilith: After all, it was none other than they who set events in motion.

Lilisette: ...?

Cait Sith: Hiss! Hodl your tongue!

Cait Sith: These young ones here are the Champions of the Dawn! Chosen by the Goddess herself, and scouted by us! Our discerning eyes!

Cait Sith: It is they who will set Vana'diel back on the path to its rightful future!

Lady Lilith: Rightful future? Chosen by Altana? Hah! No God or Goddess holds authority over the realm of mortals!

Lady Lilith: It is people, not some absent diety, who determine the fate of the world.

Lady Lilith: It is I who shall lead the people of Vana'diel to their rightful future!

Haudrale: Pray forgive my interruption, my lady. The time has come.

Lady Lilith: You wish to return home?

Lady Lilith: Then go. You have my leave to return to the reality whence you came.

Portia: ...

Lady Lilith: Of course, I needn't remind you what awaits you there.

Lady Lilith: Will you live and grow old with Sir Ragelise? Or grieve his untimely demise for as long as you shall live? The choice is yours to make.

Portia: ...

Lilisette: Portia, no! This isn't the way!

Portia: I... I'm sorry.

Portia: Please forgive me, Lilisette.

Portia: No matter what it takes... no matter what may become of me... I must save him.

Portia joins Lilith on the portal.

Lady Lilith: You have chosen wisely. Come, then. Let us walk hand in hand...

Lady Lilith: Mother.

Lilisette: Ugh!

Lilisette jumps for the portal, clinging to its edge.

Lady Lilith: PLAYERNAME. If ever you should have a change of heart, I will be waiting.

Lady Lilith: Know, though, that time is a precious commodity. I must have your answer before the comet kisses the horizon.

Lady Lilith: Remember this. The future will choose me.

Lady Lilith: I look forward to when next we meet.

Lilith steps on Lilisette's hand; Lilisette flies backwards and lands next to you as Lilith, Portia and the others disappear.

Act 3: Beaucedine Glacier (S)

??? PLAYERNAME!

??? PLAYERNAME! Lilisette! Can you hear me!?

Vestillet: Thank the Goddess. I feared you might never open your eyes.

Lilisette: Wh-where are we?

Vestillet: The scene of the aftermath of our clash with the beastmen.

Noillurie: Though we slayed several score enemies and diverted an equal amount, still too many were able to flee to Castle Zvahl.

Vestillet: And, as if to mock us, scout reports of Zvahl-bound enemy battalions continue to swamp us without pause.

Noillurie: Make no mistake about it, 'tis here in snow-swept Valdeaunia that the decisive battle will be waged, and the outcome of the war, decided.

Vestillet: Pain me though it may to admit, we've fallen short of our objective.

Noillurie: I... I have failed Sir Ragelise. How can I ever face him again?

Vestillet: I've been meaning to ask of Portia.

Lilisette: She's still in the hands of the enemy...

Vestillet: Is that so...

Vestillet: Keep your chins up. We'll find a way to rescue her yet. For now, though, we must return to the Kingdom and regroup.

Cait Sith: Phew... We barely managed to escape with the fur on our backs.

Lilisette: :Live and grow old with Sir Ragelise," that self-professed custodian of Vana'diel said...

Lilisette: Cait Sith, tell me. What will become of Portia?

Cait Sith: Hrmmmm... What fiendish plot could that detestable wench possibly be concocting that involves Portia? What dastardly wiles?

Cait Sith: I'm afraid even I do not know. The knowledge eludes me.

Lilisette: ...

Cait Sith: PLAYERNAME. We, too, should return to San d'Oria. Our priority now is to report the unfortunate turn of events to Ragelise. Break the news.
