Princess of Eternity/Transcript

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

Prologue
--Today is a day off for you and Wiz.

--You have decided to take a walk through Torulika.

Wiz: There's still so many places in this town I've never been!

--The cool morning breeze feels good on your skin.

--Just then, a sweet aroma glides in on the breeze.

Wiz: Hm? What's that smell?

Wiz: I think it's coming from this way!

--You follow Wiz as she pursues the scent's source.

--And then...

Wiz: Woah! Has there always been a greenhouse here?

--An all-glass greenhouse sits in the back alley.

--It would sen that this is the source of the fragrant smell.

Wiz: Let's take a look inside!

--Wiz walks into the greenhouse as if he's drawn there.

--You decide to follow.

--You sense a weird aura, but you can't resist the smell.

Wiz: I think that flower is the one emitting the smell!

--You turn to see the large flower that Wiz is referring to.

Wiz: It smells wonderful! You give it a whiff!

--You get close and take a nose full of the flower.

--It's a sweet, soft and relaxing scent. It has a soft musk that envelopes you.

Wiz: Hmm...so...nice...

--The scent covers you like a warm blanket on a soft bed.

--Slowly but surely, you drift out of consciousness...

The Eternal Seed
--You awake to flowers grazing your skin.

--You get up and notice a barrage of colourful flowers spread out before you.

--Just then you hear Wiz's voice somewhere close by.

Wiz: I'm telling you, we're not evil!

???: But you speak! And you're a cat!

???: It's demon! Pham, please help!

You look closer to see Wiz... (missing text)

Wiz: What a rude girl! Calling me evil and a demon...

--You say that you don't know. Probably not the same world you were in before.

Wiz: Well, let's look for that girl. She might give us a hint as to where we are.

???: Pardon me...what is your purpose here in Divine Peak?

--You hear a soft voice from behind you.

--A young woman with a flower-like beauty stands there.

???: Anero called me out here.

???: She spoke of a talking cat. And you must be the wizard?

Anero: Pham! Don't let them fool you! That talking cat is evil!

--A voice calls from the shadow of a far-off tree.

Pham: I'm sorry. Anero is deathly shy.

Pham: She wants to be a perfumer, but I don't see how she could deal with customers.

--Anero peeks her face out from the shadows to watch.

--You chuckle at her, but suddenly the mood changes.

Pham: But Anero is right in that demons are increasing in numbers lately.

Pham: Were you the ones who destroyed that field of flowers?

--Pham is gazing straight at you as she speaks.

--You get the sense that she has a great power. It's best to not upset her.

--You fill her in on how you got to where you are.

--And then...

Pham: On, so you like sweets too, Wiz?

Wiz: Looks like Pham and I will get along! Let's do tea soon!

Pham: I've just picked some syrup tree leaves! You can add them to tea for a sweet boost!

Wiz: Syrup tree?? I've never heard of one of those! That sounds great!

Pham: Well then I'll take you to my workshop! Off we go!

Wiz: All aboard!

Wiz: Hurry up! Anero is quickly gaining on us!

--Wiz hums a songs as she rides on Pham's shoulders.

--You are amazed at the sight of Wiz being so carefree.

Anero: We should go with them! I have to protect Pham!

--You give a chuckle and agree to go.

--You and Anero follow the new best friends.

--You find your way through a field of withering flowers.

(The quest begins)

Pham: There it is! That over there is Felich's workshop!

--You look to where Pham is pointing to see a small red brick building.

--It would seem that this person is Pham's older sister.

--She sees you coming and begins to run out to meet you.

Felich: Pham, good timing! Could you take a look at this?

--Felich holds out her hand to reveal something in her palm.

--It looks to you like a plant seed.

Pham: This is...

Wiz: Is it food?

???: That's the seed of a great plant! I found it deep in the woods!

--A half-man half-beast approaches you riding a large dog.

Katello: Your face is a new one. I'm Katello. My mate Ralgo here and I run a delivery service. Good to meet you!

Katello: We're always looking for more business so let me know if you need anything hauled!

Anero: Where did you find this?

--Anero calls out to Katello despite being at eye-level with Ralgo.

--She pushes Ralgo's head down and he lets out an uncomfortable moan.

Anero: You said deep in the woods! Where exactly??

Katello: Ummm...I think it was close to the Eternal Tree.

Anero: I thought so!

Anero: What about a barrier? Was there no barrier??

Katello: What's this all about? There was nothing weird, I just walked over and picked it up.

Anero: No way! It can't be!

--Anero drops her shoulders in disappointment.

--You suddenly get a bad feeling about the situation. Something doesn't seem right.

Wiz: What is this Eternal Tree? And what's with this seed?

--Just then, you hear a howling sounds coming from the woods close to the workshop.

Felich: Looks like there's no time to explain now. Can you guys fight?

--Felich snickers as she pulls out a wand.

--A magic power similar to Pham's begins to gather in the wand.

Pham: It's ok, Felich. These people have protected me thus far.

--You feel a different magic emerging from Pham as she smiles at Felich.

Wiz: These sisters are something special!

Felich: Well then shall we knock one out? Pham, could you watch the seed?

Pham: leave that to me, sis!

Felich: Here it comes!

(Boss round starts)

—You beat back the demon and gaze at the seed that Pham is holding.

Wiz: Is that seed really so important?

--Felich looks out at a huge tree overlooking the Divine Peak and speaks.

Felich: That Eternal Tree over there is a legendary tree here in Divine Peak.

Felich: The leaves are used in medicine, the trunk gives exquisite wood, and the flowers offer fragrant oils.

Felich: That's what the legend says.

--That sounds like a very specific legend.

Wiz: That's a legend? Has nobody thought to check if it's true?

Pham: The Eternal Tree has a barrier and we are unable to get close to it.

Wiz: So, nobody knows if the legend is true or not?

Felich: That's right, nobody has been able to get a seed or even a leaf.

Katello: That means that we could sell this and get rich!

Anero: No way you dummy!

--As he reaches for the seed, a book smacks Katello in the back of the head.

Katello: Ouch! What was that for??

Anero: When the great tree is regrown, the barrier shall lose its power.

Anero: Everyone that lives here knows this legend!

Anero: My dad told me that it's really true!

Wiz: I see. Did your father write this book, Anero?

--Wiz steps forward and notices the book's title: Almanac of Plant Life in Divine Peak.

Pham: Her father was a famous botanist.

Felich: I think she's more suited for that path than one of a perfumer.

Anero: I'd rather be surrounded by sweet smells than dusty books!

--Anero speaks bluntly to Pham and Felich.

Pham: If this is true then we should go and return the seed.

Katello: That's bad idea! That place is crawling with demons now!

Pham: We still should go. Right, sis?

Felich: Yes, I'm worried about the Eternal Tree, but this is a great chance for us!

Wiz: Chance?

--When Wiz asks this, Pham and Felich smile at each other.

Felich: It's our dream to make perfume from the flowers of the Eternal Tree!

Pham: If the barrier is down now, we can get in and get some flowers!

Pham: I wonder what it smells like...wizard, do you know?

--You reply that you can't even imagine what it looks like, much less how it smells.

--Pham begins to speak.

Pham: I think it'll smell like a Berg No.9 or a Mist Patchouli.

Pham: But then again it might have a more male scent, like a Frost Sandalwood or Ivy Snake Oil.

--She takes a deep breath and continues.

Pham: I can't stop imagining! What if it's like the popular labdanum or even vanilla?

Pham: It's so exciting! I haven't asked yet, but what scents do you like, wizard?

Felich: That's enough, Pham.

Pham: Whoops.

--Felich taps Pham on the shoulder and puts the brakes on her endless chatter.

Pham: Sorry, I just get so excited talking about fragrances.

Felich: It's been your dream for a while, I know. It's my dream, too!

--Felich rests her head on Pham's shoulder and they both smile at you.

Felich: So, will you help us wizard?

Pham: Perfume making and seed hauling!

Fountain of Life
Pham: Well, let's be off to the Eternal Tree.

--Pham speaks as she excitedly throw open the workshop doors.

--But...

Pham: Gyaahh!!

--The door stops midway as if it hit something on the other side.

Pham: Is someone here? A customer?

--Pham opens the door slowly to see a young boy with a red face.

???: Ouch...why did you do that? I was just delivering bread!

(The quest begins)

Felich: Just as I thought!

--Felich finds Katello and Bledd sprawled out in front of a fountain.

--Ralgo is thirsty from all the running around and dips his face into the fountain for a drink.

Pham: Great timing, let's all take a break!

Wiz: This is my chance to get some of that bread I missed!

Wiz: Hey, Bledd!

--You follow Wiz and rest your legs by the fountain.

Bledd: Here, have some! You must be tired!

--You take a drink of the fountain water and bite into the bread.

Wiz: This is better than any bread I've ever encountered!

--It truly is. It must be made from the finest ingredients.

Pham: Bledd, thank you for the madelaine cakes! How about danishes next time?

Bledd: Your wish is my command! Danishes, croissants, I'll bring anything!

Pham: Katello, let me ride Ralgo again sometime. I want to head to the coast!

Katello: Leave it to us! That's a 3 day trip, but we can do it in a single day!

Wiz: I see why these two are so competitive.

Anero: Pham, that's amazing! I still have so much to learn!

Felich: Anero!

Anero: Oops.

--It's a lively and fun atmosphere. You decide to take one more sip of the water, when...

--...A body made from plants slowly starts to emerge from the fountain.

???: That delicious smell invited me out here. What is that you have there, young man?

Anero: Waaaaaah! It's a demon!!

Rosetta: To call me, Rosetta, a demon? How rude! Now I feel like biting you!

Katello: Oh wow! This is getting interesting!

Bledd: What's going on here?

Pham: Both of you?

--You feel a strong magic force and look over to see Pham beaming a smile.

--Katello and Bledd see this and realise that things are getting serious.

Katello: Wait Pham! Leave this to Ralgo and I!

Bledd: M, me too! We won't let anything touch you!

--They take a pose to protect Pham.

--While laughing on the inside at these two jokers, you assume a battle pose.

Katello: Look out, it's after Pham!

--Katello thought so, but it was after something else.

--Rosetta's gaze was fixed on the seed Pham was holding.

Wiz: You noticed it too? There's something special about that seed!

Rosetta: Give me that seed!

--After these words, Rosetta makes her attack.

(Boss round starts)

Rosetta: Ugh...to go up against the Lilly sisters...there's no way I could win!

--With her final words, Rosetta's body dissipates into the forest.

Pham: And don't even think about coming back!

Felich: Let's try to be nicer with our words.

Pham: Oopsie.

--Bledd speaks to you with the excitement of battle still in his veins.

Bledd: You really helped a lot, wizard. Thanks!

Bledd: If I couldn't use the water from this fountain, my bread's flavour sould really suffer!

--You say that it was nothing.

Bledd: I'd like to give you something to thank you, but all I can do is bread.

Bledd: Why don't you come by the bakery? I'll make you some special loaves!

Wiz: That sounds great! Make doe for take-out as well!

--The battle was over and you let out a sigh of relief.

Pham: Wah!

--Pham lets out a surprised gasp by the fountain.

Felich: What's wrong, Pham?

Pham: The seed, it just moved!

Pham: I wonder if it's because water was splashed on it in battle...

--Pham gazes at the seed, half-worried and half-excited.

--The seed vibrates a couple more times, then opens up and a bud emerges.

Wiz: It's like a living creature! Let me see it!

Anero: Alrighty, here we go.

--Anero lifts up Wiz to see the seed. Then Anero makes a confused face.

Anero: Is it safe to haul it around like this?

--The mood of the group shifts as nobody else had thought of that.

--Obviously, nobody here knows how to care for a seeding.

Pham: Hey! Anero, your dad is knowledgeable about the Eternal Tree, right?

Pham: Let's go ask and see what he says! I'd like to say meet him and say hi anyways!

--Pham's words make you remember the book Anero threw earlier: Almanac of Plant Life in Divine Peak.

--If her father wrote that book, then nobody would be more wll-versed than him.

Katello: Hey, is it ok if we go too? We might find some new work!

Bledd: I want to hear what he says! Plus, I'd like to ask about baking with other varieties of wheat!

Felich: Let's all go! As long as it's ok, Anero.

--Anero feels the pressure from everyone looking at her and she makes an uncomfortable face.

Anero: Well...yea, I guess it's ok.

Anero: Don't be weirded out by my dad, ok?

--Anero begins to guide the way to father's house. What kind of person could he be?

--Half-worried and half-excited, you all follow behind Anero.

Forest Guardian
Anero: Dad! Dad, are you here?

--Anero opens the door to reveal a dark room. You can see something moving inside.

--Holding a large feather pen, the shadow turns around...

???: Anero, my dear girl! It's so nice of you to visit!

--The figure dives to give Anero a hug.

Anero: You idiot!!

???: Umph!!

--She smacks him and then makes him kiss the floor.

Anero: Hyaaa!

--Anero spins back towards you with her wand down.

Felich: Everybody shows love differently, right?

Wiz: Kids these days sure do have weird ways.

--Wiz and Felich seem unbothered by the situation, while Bledd and Katello are looking away.

—Seeing their reaction, Anero grabs her head and crouches down.

Anero: You see? That's why I didn't want to bring you guys here.

Pham: Anero, you can't treat your dad like that. Here sir, let me help you...

???: Thank you. I'm Beyard, by the way.

--Beyard says this as he stands up and holds out his chest.

Beyard: And this pain is simply my daughter's love.

Beyard: Or something like that. Anyway, it's nothing to worry about.

Wiz: For now, let's at least stop that nosebleed...

Beyard: Oh, sorry about that! I've got some love overflowing from my nose!

--Beyard fixes his hat and looks at you.

Beyard: You must be those famous perfumer sisters that Anero is always talking about.

--You all introduce yourselves to Beyard.

--You then ask about how to care for the seed.

Beyard: I think I understand your situation. Let's talk outside.

--You walk out the door and in the direction of the Eternal Tree.

Anero: Wait, aren't you going to tell us what to do?

Beyard: We can walk and talk, Anero. There's no time to spare. Pham, please show me the seed.

Pham: Here you go!

--Trying to keep up with Beyard's fast walk, Pham gives him the seed.

Beyard: The Eternal Tree is said to be a tree reborn into a different name.

Beyard: When its lifespan is over it will flower and create a seed which will grow in a seed bed.

Beyard: It's a special tree that lives in that cycle. That seed must be atop the tree.

Pham: I see...

--Pham is a bit confused by Beyard's rapid explanation.

--And then he continues...

Beyard: If that seed is here, then the Eternal Tree's life cycle will come to an end.

Beyard: This will be easier to understand. What do you think will becomes of the roots of that huge tree?

--You think about it and imagine how far and large the roots must stretch.

--This would mean that the roots of the Eternal Tree would stretch across all of Divine Peak.

--If those roots wither, then the ground that they support will surely crumble!

Beyard: Plus, the tree has magic powers of repelling demons and strengthening life.

Beyard: If the seed is not in the proper position to grow strong, then the tree will wither forever.

Beyard: Divine Peak will be no more.

Felich: What! That can't be...

Beyard: We have no more time for discussions. We'll take the more dangerous shortcut there. No objections, I assume.

Pham: Yessir!

--You are all impressed by Beyard's calm in the situation.

--Suddenly, the future of this land rests in your hands.

--With this mission in mind you continue to follow Beyard.

(The quest begins)

Beyard: Over there next. Watch your feet.

Katello: Hey, isn't this the forest where Jaggard lives?

Wiz: Jaggard? Is that a demon or something?

Katello: He's a fierce god that protects the forest...with hugh teeth and claws.

Bledd: I've heard of him too! Never seen him, but I hear he breathes fire!

--These descriptions bring frightening images into your head.

--Huge claws, huge teeth, breathing fire, god of the forest...

Pham: Didn't he have a face like this?

--Suddenly the beast from your imagination is right there in front of you.

Anero: Waaah!!

Beyard: Quiet!

Felich: He's got quite a face on him!

Pham: I think he's kinda cute. Like a puppy!

Wiz: Pham wait! What on earth are you doing?

--You are surprised to see that Pham has started to pet its face.

Wiz: Stop it! You're throwing our lives away!!

--You stop yourself from yelling at her and pull her back.

Pham: Wait, why not? He's a cutie!

Katello: What are you thinking Pham?? He'll eat your eyeballs out!

--Beyard seems quite calm in the situation.

--Just as Pham had done, Beyard starts petting the beast.

Beyard: It's alright, Katello. That thing on his back is the Jaggard. As long as it doesn't wake, there is no danger.

Beyard: This beast down here will stay asleep as long as Jaggard does. Now is our chance to escape.

Bledd: So that's the Jaggard...

--You look on the beast's back to see a cute little furry animal sleeping.

--This pair of sleeping beasts has a transcendental aura to them.

--You hold your breaths and proceed so as to not awake the beast.

--However...

Anero: Myaaaaah!

--In a stroke of bad luck, Anero's hair gets caught in her wand!

--Her scream causes the beast to slowly open its eyes.

--It's eyes come to life and it starts to let out a low growl.

Anero: No! Wait! No, stop!

Anero: Pham! Someone! Help!

--You run as fast as you can towards her, but the beasts claws are too fast.

--You see the beast smile as Anero winces in pain.

Anero: Owwwwwwwww!

--Your world shifts to slow motion as you see that you will not make it in time...

--But just then!

Pham: Anero!!

--In a flash of light, Pham is standing in between the beast and Anero!

Wiz: Teleportation?? It can't be...

Pham: Yaaaaaah!

--An explosion of magic power lifts the beast's claw off of Anero!

Pham: I thought you were cute before, but you got ugly really fast!

Pham: Anero, it's ok now.

Pham: I'm here to protect you.

Anero: Ung...Pham...

--You finally reach where they are and notice Jaggard starting to get back up.

Pham: Wizard, thank you for trying to protect her.

Pham: Could you help me again? I need to punish this bad beast!

--You naturally agree. No reason not to.

--Felich catches up with you and lifts a shaking Anero onto her shoulders.

Anero: Felich...I was so scared...

Felich: That must have been scary. You're safe now.

Felich: Pham, teach that stinky beast a lesson for making this girl cry!

--You and Pham nod to each other to show that you know what must be done.

Pham: We'll do that, sis!

--Pham readies her wand as you pull some cards out for battle!

(Boss round starts)

--Your victory in battle has returned Jaggard to his sleep.

Beyard: Looks like you adjusted his attitude problem. That's an impressive god, however. Not a scratch on him!

--Anero runs over to Beyard.

Anero: Daddy! I was so scared!!

Beyard: It's all ok now. You must have been so scared!

Anero: AH!

--Anero looks back to see you all looking at her.

Wiz: They DO have a normal relationship!!

Pham: I think it's nice that they were able to make up. Right, Anero?

Anero: Umm...yeah...I...I...whatever.

--Anero turns bright red but does not leave her father's arms.

--A bright light shines down and you look up at the sky.

--The Eternal Tree is finally without your reach.

Pham: Hm? My bag is shaking...

--Pham takes the seed from her bag.

Pham: What's going on?

Beyard: It's probably budding. It must sense the tree nearby.

Beyard: This area...I guess the soil quality must be important. It's good that we came here.

--You ponder on what a mystical plant this is.

--This massive structure before almost seems too unreal to be a plant.

--You gaze skyward for a bit more, then...

Katello: Wha!

Bledd: What was that?

--The seed starts to shake again...

Beyard: Whatever caused it is at the top of the tree. I can't see how we'd get up there.

--Beyard seems be trodden, but Pham and Felich seem excited at the challenge.

Felich: We will find a way to get those flowers. No matter what.

Pham: We're gonna make the most epic perfume. Ever.

--Pham and Felich seem happy just thinking about their goal.

Beyard: You gals are strong-willed. I see why my little girl looks up to you.

Beyard: Thank you for saving her back there. I can't show my gratitude enough.

--He pats Anero on the head and bows his head to Pham and you.

Pham: Not a problem! We help each other out, that's how it is.

--Next, Pham decided to give Anero a little test.

Pham: Hey Anero. We're going up that tree.

Pham: How about you come along?

Felich: This would be a big chance for your work training.

Anero: ...!

--She wipes her tears, looks up and smiles.

Anero: Of course I'm going! If Pham and Felich are there, I'll be there too!

--Her smile brightens as she speaks.

--You strengthen your resolve to save this land and once more look up at the tree in awe.

Skies of the Divine Peak!
Pham: This tree is larger than it looked!

--Pham's mouth opens in amazement as she grasps the tree's trunk.

--Mega. Huge. Tree.

--The Eternal Tree was much larger than you could have imagined.

Wiz: Wait a sec...something smells great!

Felich: That must be the smell of the tree itself. The bark can be used for incense!

--As she speaks, Felich cuts away pieces of bark with her knife.

--She puts the pieces in a jar with some liquid.

Anero: What will you do with that?

Felich: It's a Fessa method test. It tests to see how much poison is in a plant.

Felich: If the third and fourth jars turn white, then you've got a particularly nasty plant.

Pham: Just a little bit could poison a whole kingdom!

Beyard: cut the dark talk!

Anero: I learned something new!

Beyard: You know, your old man invented that method of testing!

--Beyard follows up with a huge wink.

Pham: That's right! Anero's full name is...

Anero: Anero Fessa!

--In a split second, Pham and Felich are floored by their realization.

Felich: Why didn't we notice it before...

Felich: Umm...yeah That's me. Nice to meet you again.

Pham: We use this method all the time and it's an honor to meet the inventor!

--These two have been quite cool-headed the whole time, but it's nice to see them getting excited to meet their idol.

Katello: This old dude is really someone important!

Bledd: Could I ask you for some advice when this is all done?

Beyard: Sure, you guys come to me with any questions you have! Any time!

--Beyard's total worth suddenly jumps in value and now all eyes are on Anero.

Anero: ...What?

Beyard: ... ...! ... ...!!

--Beyard's eyes are asking for praise.

Anero: I guess you're better than I thought.

Beyard: I think I'm going to cry...

Anero: C'mon! Get it together!

--It might just be the odor from the tree, but everyone's good spirits have returned.

--A sweet, soft and relaxing scent.

--You have smelled it somewhere before. But...

Wiz: This is the smell from that flower we found when we came to this world!

Wiz: Do you think this Eternal Tree called out to us?

--Probably...

Wiz: Then that would mean...

--If we don't save this tree then we can't get back.

--A wave of fear and panic washes over you. You let it go and continue to follow the pack.

(The quest begins)

--...how far have you climbed thus far.

--The color on your faces has run pale and the amount of talk has greatly reduced.

--But without these two you never would have made it this far.

Bledd: It's a good thing I brought bread! Otherwise we'd have to eat that seed!

--Bledd's special bread that satisfied everyon was a great impromptu meal.

Katello: If you guys have anything for me to carry, let me take it! You can also have a ride if you want!

--Katello and Ralgo, the hauling experts.

--But the long trip was wearing on everyone and their limit was quickly approaching.

Anero: Um, sorry but...I just can't...

Felich: Me too. I can't walk any more!

Pham: I'm so tired!

--Anero, Pham, and Felich all plop down for a rest.

--You and Wiz were also close to zero energy.

Beyard: Good idea. Let's take a long break here.

Beyard: I'll go on ahead and have a look. You guys stay here.

--Beyard moves swiftly and lightly from leaf to leaf.

Katello: Where does he get that energy from?

Bledd: I thought he was just an ordinary fellow, but there's more than meets the eye!

--You are taking a few deep breaths when all of a sudden...

Beyard: Hey! Wizard! Come here! We've got a problem!

Wiz: Problem? I have a bad feeling about this...

--You run to catch up with Beyard.

Beyard: The barrier is still active. We can't go any farther than this.

--A crystal-like barrier blocks your path.

--And in front of that is the form of a young woman holding a wand. She is glaring at you.

Beyard: This barrier isn't from the Eternal Tree. It's too powerful It must be her doing.

Beyard: Why are you blocking our path? What is your purpose?

--Beyard gets closer and the woman continues to glare at him.

???: I am not blocking you. I must stop you from going beyond here is a waste.

Beyard: What do you mean? You stopping us will kill the tree!

Solissa: I am not a you. I have a name, I am Solissa.

--Solissa's word are quite powerful.

Beyard: My apologies. Please let us pass. We must save the tree.

Solissa: What are you talking about? If I let you pass the tree will wither.

Beyard: What are you saying? We...

Solissa: Do not stand against me or you will not be forgiven!

--She lifts up her wand and a red magic gathers around it!

(Boss round starts)

Solissa: Hgaaa...

--Your powerful blast knocks away Solissa's wand.

--But then you see the red hot determination burning in her eyes.

--You have a bad feeling. Have you done something that cannot be undone?

--No time for regrets, the barrier has fallen.

Solissa: You're wasting your time!

--The sun sinks in the sky as white light turns to yellow and then to red...

--Until night has fallen. The darkness stretches out across the land.

--You look up in wonder at how quickly night has befallen you.

Wiz: How did it become night so fast?

--Other than changing to night, nothing else seems to have happened.

--But then...

Beyard: What is this?? This has never happened before!!

--Beyard yells into the night sky.

Felich: Wizard, what happened? Why did the sky change?

Pham: Why is it so dark? What is this??

--Pham and Felich join you to see what caused the change.

Wiz: What's the big deal? It was a quick shift, but day became night. It happens every day!

Beyard: N...night? What is a this so called night?

--Beyard stands up and looks at you. He puts his hand on your shoulder and starts to yell.

Beyard: I don't know about this night, why do you??

Beyard: What is this night you speak of??

--You have a sudden realization as Beyard bellows at you.

--What did he just say? He doesn't know what night is?

Wiz: That's...impossible...

--Now that you think about it...

--You've been here for a very long time...

--But not once has night fallen! A sun that never sets!

--Night had never fallen on Divine Peak!

Solissa: The night had been trapped away.

--Solissa whispers to you.

Wiz: Trapped the night? What do you mean?

Solissa: Vellet, who used to protect this tree, gave me her position as protector when the tree became weak...

Solissa: It could no longer support the sky.

Beyard: Vellet the Fairy Guardian of the Tree?

Solissa: She made the barrier and told me to stay and guard the Eternal Tree.

--She removes a stone from her wand. The light from this stone shone like the sun.

Pham: It's so warm...

--Pham takes one step towards the light, when...

Pham: Aahh!

--The satchel that Pham had kept the seed in suddenly opens and out jumps...

???: It's good to finally meet you, Mother.

Pham: M...mother...?

--This young girl smiles softly and stretches out her arm towards Pham.

Eterna: Please, call me Eterna.

--She is like the sun.

Reincarnation of Eternity
--The girl born from the seed is riding asleep on Ralgo's back.

--She is using Pham's arm as a pillow.

Katello: I never imagined you as a mother, Pham.

Felich: Watch what you say, Katello.

Bledd: Even if I had a kid, I wouldn't change how I feel about Pham!

Felich: Cut it out!

--You and your crew are talking around the bright sun-like stone.

--At first they were shocked at the night, but they soon overcame it.

--After a few laughs, they've learned how to enjoy the night.

Anero: Is the girl the daughter of the Eternal Tree?

Pham: I believe so. She smells just like the tree.

--A sweet, soft and relaxing scent.

--Just like Pham says, the girl does smell like this.

Anero: I wonder if it'll be ok?

Beyard: What are you worried about Anero?

Anero: Before we met that weird creature at the fountain.

Anero: It said that the smell was what attracted it.

Anero: I wonder if it was the smell of Eterna in seed form?

--You suddenly realize that she's on to something. The smell has an effect!

--You look down the tree to see a swarm of demons climbing up behind you!

Bledd: Anero was right! We've got to get going before those demons reach us!

--You agree and start making preparations to depart.

Katello: Woah, this is bad!

Pham: This girl has a horrible fever!

--Pham strokes Eterna's head, but her breathing becomes shallow and fast.

--This could be because of the erratic situation taking place with the Eternal Tree.

Beyard: We've got to go, no time left!

Beyard: Everyone, to the top!

(The quest starts)

--Your group finally reached the top of the Eternal Tree.

--You could tell right away that something was amiss.

--There was an aura present, like seeing a tree's soul.

--Despite being so strong before, the scent of the Eternal Tree was now gone.

Eterna: Falaphoria...the tree of Eternal Darkness!

Pham: Eterna, you mustn't get up!

--Eterna had woken up and was standing.

Wiz: Falaphoria...is that the name of this evil aura?

--Eterna nods quietly at Wiz.

Eterna: That tree hates light and calls forth demons. It sucks up life like water through the roots.

Eterna: It is the enemy of not just the Eternal Tree, but all of Divine Peak.

--With the help of Pham she stands up, and glares at the spirit that faces you all.

--It's dark wings spread like the black of night. This is surely the power that stole the daylight.

--Then Falaphoria lets out a growl and it's physical body is suddenly revealed.

Falaphoria: Eterna...and this Eternal Tree...

Anero: Did that thing just talk?

Pham: That's disgusting!

--You look and see that Falaphoria has an arm-like appendage.

--It has a body like a distorted human, ravaged torn wings, and reminds you of a fallen angel.

Falaphoria: You and your kin...had trapped me...but now I am free...

--It points a creaky finger at Eterna and speaks again.

Falaphoria: You have long tortured me...now, I bring you eternal night!

--He raises his wand to the sky where a dark energy envelopes it and gives him his complete form!

Falaphoria: Wither and die, child of the sun!

Falaphoria: Know my darkness!

--And thus begins the dance in the pale moonlight.

(Boss round starts)

--You and Pham have worked together to bring down the evil Falaphoria.

Eterna: Now!

--Eterna begins running towards Falaphoria to save you and Pham from the darkness.

--But...

Pham: Wait!

Eterna: Gya!

--Pham jumps directly in front of Eterna and her face plants into Pham's chest.

Eterna: Bwa...wha? Mother?

Pham: Etern, are you hiding something from me?

Eterna: Why...why would you ask that?

--Eterna tries to run away but Pham takes her hand and pulls her back in.

Eterna: Let me go! Please!

Pham: Eterna...

Pham: If you call me mother, then you are my child, are you not?

--Pham speaks to Eterna as if she were her biological child.

Eterna: Yes.

Eterna: You brought me this far. You raised me.

Eterna: You are my mother.

--Pham listens and nods as Eterna speaks.

--She then takes Etern's trembling hand.

Pham: When you're afraid, when you're worried, you come to me, ok?

Pham: I'm always here to take your hand and make you feel better.

--Pham looks at the landscape behind Eterna and begins to smile.

--Beyard takes Anero's hand just as Pham took Eterna's.

Eterna: Mother...

Eterna: Mother...I...

Pham: It's ok, dear. I'll always be here for you.

--Eterna buries her crying face into Pham's bosom as Pham gently strokes her head.

Wiz: Pham's going to be a good mother.

--You think so, too.

--Just then you notice the night starting to brighten.

--The fallen sun rises once again and brings light to the land.

--The red light from the morning sun warms your skin.

Pham: It's so beautiful.

--You notice Pham and Felich looking for flowers on the tree.

--Then, where Eterna was standing just a second ago, suddenly a new brach emerges covered in flowers.

--The flowers of the Eternal Tree. The scent wafts over into your nostrils.

Pham: Eterna!

--Looking at the flowers, Pham's eyes swell with tears.

--Eterna is gone. She is now the new life of the Eternal Tree.

Wiz: Well, I guess this is what we were brought here to do. The circle of life.

--A sweet, soft and relaxing scent.

--The scent envelopes you and you begin to feel yourself losing consciousness once again.

Epilogue
Wiz: Hey, get up!

--Wiz has been smacking your face with her paw. You slowly stand up and rub your eyes.

--You have woken up in the middle of the street.

Wiz: This city...I forgot how bad it smelled.

--Wiz's word cause you to remember Divine Peak.

--Surrounded by the trees and the flowers, you were blanketed in that wonderful scent.

--The scent of the Eternal Tree was unforgettable.

--A breeze blows by you, carrying a single flower.

--A flower that has a sweet, soft and relaxing scent.

Wiz: Yes. Yes, that was the smell!

--You both look up at the blue sky. A clear blue sky that stretches as far as the eye can see. Just like back in Divine Peak.
