Head to Act I: Departure[]
Mission DescriptionUpon returning to the Vortex of Genesis, (Trailblazer) and Phainon returned the final Coreflame together, but rather than journeying to the new world as expected, they were pulled into an "Immersive Theater" by Lygus.
- Act I: Departure
- ???: Take this wish with you... Be the one who begins it all...
- ???: As the prophecy foretold: "You will bear the blazing sun, until the pale dawn breaks"...
- ???: Continue onward... bearing this world upon your shoulders... until the ashen hero... the nameless Deliverer ushers in the dawn...
- Phainon: Such an odd dream...
- Phainon: Strange... like I've dreamed this before. But it all slips away when I wake.
- Phainon: Only a voice remains... who was that...?
- Phainon: ...
- Rise and shine!
- Phainon: ...What?
- Phainon: Ah, it's you... Whoops, fell asleep there.
- Phainon: What a strange dream I had. It's gone now though. But look! Perfect sunshine! The day's still young!
- Phainon: Let's go find Cyrene, partner. We promised to be there for her oracle card reading today. It's right about time...
- Phainon: Looking at you, someone's still half asleep. Tell you what, catch some fresh air first. I'll hang around here.
- What is this place...?
- The Era Nova... is it done?
- Cyrene?
- Lygus: Beautiful, isn't it? This is Aedes Elysiae, home of the nameless hero who carried Kephale's Coreflame.
- Lygus: When he was young and innocent, he had heroic dreams, imagining his wooden sword was forged of iron...
- Lygus: ...pretending the straw dummy propped up by a wooden pole was a giant with a single blood vessel running from spine to heel...
- Lygus: ...dreaming of slaying the giant and becoming a hero to save the world — though to his young mind, the "world" was just this small village.
- Are we seeing Phainon's childhood?
- Lygus: Sharp as ever. Indeed, these memories you witness are the first steps of his journey...
- How does this connect to Era Nova?
- Lygus: What you witness is the start of his path to a new world. And trust me, you play no small part...
- I had no idea he used to be so chuuni.
- Lygus: Witty as always. But this is more than just a funny story. It's the start of his path...
- Lygus: These are his first memories. Rather than watching, why not join in? Think of it as "immersive theater"...
- Lygus: Become his lifelong closest friend, witnessing his hero's journey from the best seat in the house, as the nameless hero whose unwavering guidance shaped Phainon's destiny, yet whose name was never recorded in Amphoreus's history.
- Who could possibly be there his entire life?
- What exactly do I need to do?
- Oh, you direct plays now?
- Lygus: Questions, questions... Let's follow along and find out, shall we?
- Lygus: Many mysteries lurk in this village beneath the Veil of Evernight...
- Lygus: Your questions will find answers as the story unfolds.
Follow Phainon to find Cyrene[]
- (Approach Phainon)
- Phainon: All awake now? Great, let's go see Cyrene.
- (Approach the children)
- Child: Phainon, show me how to use a sword like you do!
- Phainon: Wait till you grow a bit more!
- (Approach the hunter)
- Hunter: Hey Phainon! Where you headed? No Cyrene today?
- Phainon: That's exactly where I'm going!
- (Approach Cyrene)
- Cyrene: ♪...[Note 1]
- Phainon: Found you!
- (Trailblazer): (That's...?)
- Cyrene: Goodness! Look at you rushing about... you've got the poor swing all startled...
- Cyrene: ...Hmm?
- Who are you...?
- Cyrene: Hmm... There's something oddly unfamiliar about this.
- Is that you...?
- Cyrene: It's that déjà vu~♪
- It's you!
- Cyrene: I knew it was you ♪
- Phainon: Something wrong? What do you see?
- Cyrene: Oh~ nothing much, just... suddenly felt a strange connection.
- Cyrene: Look at you, leaves in your hair! Were you sleeping in a tree again, or was it the wheat fields this time? At least brush yourself off before wandering around.
- Phainon: Come on, I'm not a kid anymore, you're the only one who still treats me like one...
- Cyrene: Sure, sure. You may have the height advantage, but when it comes to maturity? I'm leagues ahead.
- Cyrene: Still fantasizing about being in heroic adventures and imagining yourself as one of the characters. That's the kind of thing kids do, not grown-ups.
- Cyrene: Don't you agree? And since you're playing along with his antics... who are you pretending to be today?
- Hi there, I'm (Trailblazer).
- Phainon: *awkward cough* Well... (he/
she) hasn't decided on a character for today yet. - Cyrene: How about we stick with the usual? You know, the valiant hero from a distant shore who made a pact to learn the sword from you?
- Phainon: *awkward cough* Well... (he/
- Greetings. I'm the Stellaron Hunter.
- Phainon: *clearing throat* (Uh.../
Ah...) today (he/ she)he's going with "Stellaron Hunter." - Cyrene: Steal-a-heart Hunter? Planning to steal someone's heart, are we?
- Cyrene: Switching roles again? What happened to being the valiant hero from a distant shore who made that solemn pact to learn the sword...
- Phainon: *clearing throat* (Uh.../
- Greetings. I'm the Invincible Galactic Baseballer!
- Phainon: *clearing throat* Uh... today (he/
she)'s going with "Invincible Galactic Baseballer." - Cyrene: Switching roles again? What happened to being the valiant hero from a distant shore who made that solemn pact to learn the sword...
- Phainon: *clearing throat* Uh... today (he/
- Phainon: Spare me! Can we not bring this up?
- Phainon: Speaking of which, what about those oracle cards? We haven't done divination in forever. Why the sudden interest?
- Cyrene: I was just about to tell you. Earlier, while napping on the swing, I had the strangest dream...
- Cyrene: There was this mysterious voice in my dream, calling out for something...
- Phainon: ...Wait, you had that dream too?
- Cyrene: Yes... you too? That would explain this lingering sense of unease...
- Cyrene: Which made me think of those old oracle cards I used to play with as a kid — though the Oronyx prophecies were always hit or miss.
- Phainon: Yeah, all the kids would get so excited drawing cards like "Ruler" or "Warrior," but throw fits over "Devil" or "Drunkard" and demand a redo.
- Phainon: If you just redo it when you don't like the result... what's the point of divination?
- Cyrene: Ah, the blessing of childhood. Believing the gods might not notice our little corner of Aedes Elysiae, willing to let our small deceits slide...
- Cyrene: Still... fate is absolute. After all, we never really know just how far into the future the prophecy extends.
- Phainon: Anyway, let's go to our old "secret base" and look for those oracle cards—
- Phainon: Um... now where did we hide those...
- Cyrene: I can think of a few spots... Let's go check it out.
Find oracle cards in the Sacrament Courtyard[]
- Step DescriptionThe "theater" is actually someone's childhood memories, staged in the Aedes Elysiae of old. (Trailblazer), with many questions in mind, assumes the role of this person's "most important companion," joining him and Cyrene on their search for something important...
- Cyrene: In a village this size, I bet all our childhood treasures are exactly where we hid them.
- Phainon: Mm-hmm, time must be keeping them safe for us.
- (Approach the old woman)
- Old Woman: Slow down, kids! You'll trip!
- Cyrene: Thank you! We'll be careful!
- (Investigate the cart near the barn, optional)
- In the sunlit barn, amid the scent of ripened wheat, they found various fruits hoarded by squirrels, and... a wooden figurine missing arms and legs.
- Phainon: My unfinished little soldier? After all these years...
- Phainon: Hey, this is the one Mrs. Pythias confiscated! Finally back in my hands...
- Pythias: Phainon, Cyrene? Where are you two headed?
- Phainon: Speak of the devil... Mrs. Pythias? Is school out already?
- Pythias: No classes today. This morning, I used fallen leaves for a reading, seeking Oronyx's wisdom. They warned of potential injuries, so I gave everyone a holiday.
- Pythias: Besides, it's harvest season. There's plenty of other work to be done even without classes.
- Cyrene: With you being our only teacher in Aedes Elysiae, you must be working so hard.
- Pythias: Anything for my students. I don't mind the work.
- Pythias: When you travel far from here, you must visit the Grove of Epiphany for me, to see what a true haven of wisdom looks like...
- Pythias: ...By the way, what are you looking for in here? You've been searching quite thoroughly.
- (Quietly hide the wooden soldier)
- Phainon: Thank you, my friend! Time to take our soldier home!
- (Remain silent)
- Pythias: Is this... a toy? Really now, aren't we past the age for these?
- Phainon: She doesn't remember, eh? This little soldier's coming with me.
- (Snitch on Phainon)
- (Trailblazer): Mrs. Pythias, it's Phainon's toy!
- Phainon: Hey, partner, keep it down...!
- Pythias: Is this... a toy? Really now, aren't we past the age for these?
- Phainon: She doesn't remember, eh? This little soldier's coming with me.
- Pythias: Alright then, I should be going. It might rain tonight, so don't stay out too late!
- Cyrene: So this is where the wooden figurine you carved during class ended up. And here I thought I knew all your hiding spots.
- Phainon: To be honest, I'd forgotten all about it myself...
- (Talk to Piso near the water, optional)
- Livia: It's mine. I caught it fair and square!
- Piso: You did not! It's mine!
- Livia: Phainon, Cyrene, come quick! Look at this huge bottle I just caught!
- Piso: Give it here! My rod, my catch. I only let you borrow it, remember?
- Phainon: What's got you two so worked up? Here, show me...

Phainon's Childhood Drift Bottle - A handwritten letter sealed in the glass vial. On the wheatgrass-stitched paper, the handwriting blurs at the edges, softened by seeping water.
Dear straynger who finds this drift bottle in the future,
It's currently the Month of Fortune, the final month of the year. Everyone in the village says if you do something tied to fortune on the last day of this month, you might be blessed with unexpeckted good luck.
So, I decided to write this letter and cast it into the sea. Just let the currents decide where it goes.
I want to share a little about our village... and my dream.
Our little village is called Aedes Elysiae. Have you ever heard of it?
Let me tell you a bit about it: We've got golden wheat fields that ripple like the sea, and tall, tall trees that shed their leaves. Right in the center of the village stands a statue of Oronyx.
At the end of each year, the village gathers to celebrate the Winter Solstice. We leave offerings at the statue: roast graype pies, herb-fryed fish, goat's milk... all kinds of tasty food.
Last year, I sneaked some malt candy and ended up with a tooth ripped straight out. Mom and Dad said if you throw a lost tooth under a tree, or bury it beneath a rock, a new one will grow back. Just like a seedling sprouting from the soil.
I remember searching and searching, pushing through the tangled grass behind our courtyard, until I found this mysterious hole. I tossed the tooth inside, cupped my hands like a horn, and yelled, "Heeey — come ouuuut!" Nothing happened. When I went back this year... the whole was gone. Weird, right?
You don't think I'm being childish, do you? I'm not like Cyrene. She can already host the festival, and she's great at telling the future with orecale cards.
They say the card you draw shows what kind of person you'll become. Last time, I drew the "Deliverer." Everyone went "Woooow."
People really like the Deliverer, but I'd rather be a Wonderer or a Skholar. Well, being a Deliverer sounds super amayzing, but it also means carrying a really, really heavy herden.
I'm not that amazing, so I can't be the Deliverer.
Few in Aedes Elysiae ever jerney far. We don't hear much about the outside world. All I know is there are all kinds of city-states out there and lots of great heroes.
The bad part is, they're always at wars.
I don't like wars.
If the world were more like our village, where everyone knows each other and works together, harvesting grain, hearding sheep, why would we even need a Deliverer?
But Mrs. Pythias and Uncle Galba both say that one day, when I'm a little older, I should go see the world for myself.
If I could go anywhere, I'd visit the mighty Castrum Creamnose, find the greatest craftsman, and ask them to forje me a sword.
With that sword, I'd protect our little village. I want no part in wars.
Right now, I don't even have a sword of my own, just a stick and a hoe.
Oh! And by then, I hope the outside world no longer needs a Deliverer.
That would be the best thing ever.
So that's my home, and that's my dream. What about you? What's your home like? What do you dream of? You could write it down, too. Toss it into the sea, and let the tides carry it to the next stop.
Whoops! Just realized this letter has missspeelings, just like my essays in Mrs. Pythias's class.
Please don't let her be the one who finds this, or I'm totally getting points docked and detenshun!
- Phainon: Wait a second... this is... This is my old Wish-In-A-Bottle! How did it end up here?
- Livia: Ooh, I wanna see! What did little Phainon wish for?
- Phainon: Not happening. This stays sealed.
- Female voice coming from afar: Piso! Livia! Dinner's ready!
- Piso: Coming, Mom!
- Livia: Finally. I'm starving! See you later!
- Phainon: You know what's funny? I really thought tossing that bottle into the sea would carry our wishes beyond Aedes Elysiae... maybe even bring something back to us...
- Phainon: Never thought... the waves would end up pushing it back ashore.
- Funny how the past finds its way back.
- Phainon: Kind of disappointing, isn't it...
- I want to read it.
- Phainon: Don't bother... It's just some silly childish nonsense... Nothing worth reading.
- Seems more like a lake to me than an ocean.
- Phainon: Ah... well, that would explain it. What a shame.
- (If the player searched in the barn and near the water)
- Cyrene: No sign of the oracle cards...
- Cyrene: Let's see... Ah! There's one place we haven't checked yet.
- (Enter the Sacrament Courtyard)
- Phainon: Those were the days. We'd always meet either by that statue in the village or right here.
- Cyrene: Right! And I remember you never used the front door when you wanted me to come play. You always climbed over the wall. You were such mischief-makers!
- Cyrene: Just like a certain someone who has a habit of showing up unexpectedly, right?
- Who's that supposed to be?
- Cyrene: Maybe it's you~♪
- Can't pin me down, can you?
- Cyrene: Ha! I bet (he/
she) said something clever just now.
- Cyrene: Ha! I bet (he/
- (Remain silent)
- Cyrene: Oh, giving me the silent treatment? How cruel!
- Phainon: *ahem* Hey, I was just copying those storybook heroes. They never take the beaten path!
- Cyrene: Still, it's embarrassing, I've been the only one here for a while, and I haven't kept up with the cleaning. With so many spots to check, where should we even start?
- Let's try the roof.
- Cyrene: Come to think of it, I haven't checked the roof in forever. Worth a shot, right?
- How about the courtyard?
- Cyrene: Leaves have taken over the courtyard...
- Phainon: I know, I know. We wouldn't want your clothes getting dirty. Leave the dirty work to me.
- Cyrene: That's not what I meant at all.
- What about the cellar?
- Cyrene: A cellar? I think I remember one... It was deep... so very deep...
- Phainon: Well, if we're talking wonderland stuff, it's not that different from my hero stories.
- Phainon: Alright, let's split up. I'll handle the yard, you check the upper floor.
Go to the attic to find oracle cards[]
- (Trailblazer): (I wonder what the view's like from up there... Worth checking out?)
- (Talk to Phainon, optional)
- Phainon: Leave this to me, partner. Want to bet who finds the oracle cards first?
- (Approach Cyrene)
- The girl before you carries an air of mystery, her secrets elusive, yet her demeanor toward you is exceptionally warm...
- You can't help but wonder: Could there really be some kind of mental connection?
- Cyrene: Mmm... the view here hasn't changed a bit.
- Cyrene: You know, besides the swing under the big tree, this has to be my favorite spot in all of Aedes Elysiae.
- It does lift your spirits, being up high.
- Cyrene: You can't help but want to hum one of those old songs we used to sing...
- Cyrene: "Why do leaves and branches grow, which way does the wind blow...♪"
- The sea stretches out as far as the eye can see...
- Cyrene: I remember drawing Aedes Elysiae as a child, nestled between the sea and the mountains.
- Cyrene: I'd always stop where the sky met the sea. The world beyond was just too vast to imagine.
- Three, two, one... jump!
- Cyrene: Hey, what are you doing? Please be careful!
- Cyrene: I'm just a small-time diviner. I can't turn back time if something happens!
- Cyrene: They always said I'd become the next Priest of Time, just because I heard prophecies as a child.
- Cyrene: But here's the thing. The more divinations I do, the more doubt creeps in. I want to believe the prophecies, but actually leaving Aedes Elysiae...
- Cyrene: Where will that waiting ship take us, I wonder...
- Phainon: Here they are! The oracle cards—
- Looks like he won this race.
- Cyrene: Guess reminiscing makes us take our time, doesn't it?
- I was still taking in the scenery.
- Cyrene: I've captured it all in my heart. This view, and most precious of all... my childhood friends!
- Cyrene: There we go! Looks like the gods do listen to our thoughts.
- Phainon: Here it is! This is the box where we kept the cards.
- Cyrene: But the cards are gone... Who could have taken them?
- Phainon: Huh? What's this underneath?

Peculiar Messages One two three four five six seven
Do re mi fa sol la ti!— Stamped: Paw Print
- Are these... animal footprints?
- Nice cards, all looking good.
- Phainon: No way, someone's switched them out...
- One, two, three, four, five... Dan Heng and Voidranger jive...
- Phainon: Hey, don't go changing the words!
- Cyrene: ...
- Cyrene: Ah, I see now! Those sneaky little ones... So that's what they've been up to.
- Phainon: The ones from Membrance Maze, you mean?
- Cyrene: Yep. Let's head to the back of the courtyard.
Follow the two to the backyard of the garden[]
- (Investigate the suspicious weeds)
- Phainon: The entrance should be around here somewhere...
- Cyrene: Right here~ The path to the Maze is hidden under all these weeds. It's been too long since we visited the fairies.
- The Membrance Maze?
- Fairies?
- An entrance?
- Phainon: Did you forget? We used to visit them all the time when we were little.
- Phainon: Alright, let's do this! These weeds need to go.
Follow the two to enter the Membrance Maze[]
- Phainon: Pretty sure this is it... Should be this way...
- Phainon: There it is! The entrance — that hollow in the tree—
- Membrance Maze
- Cyrene: Once you get through the tight squeeze in the hollow, you'll reach their dwelling, the Membrance Maze.
- Phainon: Haha, I wonder if I can still squeeze through there...
- Cyrene: Maybe worry more about whether the fairies will let you in! After all the Membrance Maze has an "invitation-only" rule, only children with pure hearts are welcomed.
- Sounds like some secret society, huh?
- Phainon: Getting approved by the Maze's fairies was like our childhood badge of honor.
- Alright then — I'll go first.
- Phainon: Lead the way then, partner.
- My Trailblazer Profile should get me in, right?
- Phainon: "Trailblazer Profile"... What's that?
- Phainon: Regardless, how about we try getting through the hollow first?
- Cyrene: After you, then?
- Phainon: What? Oh, um... sure, I'll go first...
- Cyrene: So hasty, as always...
- Cyrene: Looks like it's just us now... Care to finish that chat?
- Cyrene: To be honest, from the moment I saw the cute note left by the fairies, my intuition became even more certain...
- Cyrene: Perhaps when we step into the Maze again after all these years, the wheels of fate will finally start turning.
- What makes you say that?
- Cyrene: Oh... just a girl's intuition.
- Don't tell me you're behind all this.
- Cyrene: ...
- Cyrene: What if I am... what would you do?
- Cyrene: Just kidding, don't read too much into it!
- Once the wheels start turning, there's no going back...
- Cyrene: Oh... it's just a girl's intuition. It might not mean anything.
- Cyrene: But you know what? Even if fate is set on its path, no matter where it steers the world... If we're together, there's nothing to worry about, right?
- Cyrene: So, if you're willing...
- Cyrene: Ah~ forget it. If the wheels do begin to turn... that's when I'll make my request♪
Talk to Mem...?[]
- Step DescriptionDeep in the Aedes Elysiae lies a "Maze." (Trailblazer) follows the two there and encounters many... fairy-like residents that resemble Mem?
- Phainon: I made it! That wasn't easy... I can't remember the last time I came here.
- Cyrene: We were still kids back then.
- (Approach the end of the tunnel)
- ???: Wait a minute... Are you...
- ???: Look who it is! Reney and Snowy!
- (Approach Relimem)
- ???: Woah... look who's finally back memi!
- ???: Snowy, you've grown so tall and dashing! I couldn't even tell it was you at first!
- Phainon: We had to grow up sometime.
- ???: But look at Reney. She hasn't changed one bit! How fascinating!
- Cyrene: Perhaps I'm like you, Relimem, just another fairy of the Maze?
- Mem's... purple now? Did you dye your fur?
- Phainon: Dye? Relimem's always been this lovely shade of lavender.
- So the Mems are like a organization?
- Phainon: An organization? Hardly. They're not that organized... They didn't even have proper names before we came along.
- The names just keep getting weirder...
- Phainon: Tell me about it! It took me forever to get all their names straight when I first came.
- Phainon: Dolimem, Relimem, Milimem, Falimem... Ah, I've missed these cute little troublemakers.
- Phainon: We used to gather around the fire, singing and dancing, imagining all our future journeys... Without coming back here, those memories might've faded away entirely.
- Relimem: How could you, Snowy! You swore you wouldn't forget about us, but you were gone so long you almost did!
- Cyrene: Oh, he's just copying those bards from his stories, being all melodramatic. He couldn't forget about you all even if he tried.
- Cyrene: Actually, we're here for the oracle cards. Have you seen them?
- Relimem: Oh, the oracle cards! Right, the chief asked us to get those!
- Cyrene: Chief... you mean Dolimem?
- Cyrene: What do they need the cards for? If they want a reading, they could just ask me.
- Relimem: I'm not sure... but Chief specifically wanted to meet with you all.
- Relimem: Let's see, they should be...
Follow Relimem to find the village chief[]
- Relimem: ...That's it! This way, everyone.
- Relimem: Watch your step, the trunk's slippery!
- (Cross the trunk)
- Relimem: Chief! Reney and Snowy have returned—
- (Approach Relimem and Dolimem)
- Dolimem: "Why do leaves and branches grow, which way does the wind blow..."
- Dolimem: "In Membrance Maze depths we seek to find, the answers future left behind."
- Dolimem: Hehe... welcome back, my dear children.
- I thought you'd be a pink Mem.
- Phainon: Pink ones? That's strange. I don't recall any pink fairies in the Membrance Maze. Have you seen any, Chief Dolimem?
- So, are the oracle cards with you?
- Phainon: How about we hear what the chief has to say first, my impatient friend?
- Now that's poetry!
- Phainon: Right? Though Dolimem always says they're just songs, not poetry.
- Cyrene: Oh Chief! You haven't changed a bit, still so full of life!
- Dolimem: No need to fuss, my child. You haven't forgotten, have you? As long as our songs are sung, the children of the maze will live on—
- Dolimem: —just as our paths stay forever linked.
- Dolimem: Here, take it. I'm sorry I had to resort to such methods to bring you here.
- This is...
- ..."As I've Written"?
- Cyrene: My book of oracle cards...
- Cyrene: Thank you for keeping it safe. You know you can always just ask if you want me to divine something.
- Phainon: Still... bringing us here like this after so long... Is something wrong, Chief?
- Dolimem: ...Yes.
- Dolimem: The Veil of Evernight whispers to us once more. It tells of a new fairy who will soon enter the Maze...
- Cyrene: Hmm...
- Dolimem: Indeed. Every time a new fairy arrives in the maze, it means that Beyond the Veil, in the vast lands far from Aedes Elysiae, a great calamity is on the horizon.
- Dolimem continues to explain in greater detail...
- Cyrene: But if that's the case, our journey...
- Phainon: ...will have to be cancelled. If disaster's coming, we should stay in Aedes Elysiae, just to be safe.
- What were you planning to do?
- What about all the people out there?
- Phainon: That's... that's a good point. But what difference could Cyrene and I make?
- Cyrene: We weren't planning to be gone for long... just enough time to hone our abilities. Phainon would train in Castrum Kremnos, while I would seek the Fate Titans' blessing in Janusopolis...
- Cyrene: Then we'd return to Aedes Elysiae, to help keep our village safe.
- Phainon: It's okay. I can still practice my swordplay here. Some things you can learn on your own.
- Phainon: Well... probably.
- Dolimem: That's... not very convincing...
- Dolimem: Here's a thought: Let's have Cyrene do a reading. If fate wishes to show us its path, we might find some peace of mind.
- Phainon: But... What if we don't like what the cards tell us?
- Then we stand against it, until the very end.
- Phainon: Heh... never thought of doing it that way before.
- Phainon: Thanks, partner. We'll do it your way — whatever the cards show, we'll face it together.
- At least we'll know which way to run.
- Phainon: Not the most optimistic take, but I see your point.
- Phainon: Thanks, partner. We'll do it your way — whatever the cards show, we'll face it together.
- I feel the same way. Perhaps it's better not to know.
- Phainon: Hearing that from you... maybe we really shouldn't unveil the cards...
- Cyrene: Why not take a look anyway? Even if it's not what we hope for, we'll know what we need to work on, don't you think?
- Phainon: You're right. Come on, partner — whatever the cards show, we'll face it together.
- Cyrene: Ask with a true heart, and truth shall answer in kind.
- Cyrene: Close your eyes, and let's open the Oracle Card Book together...
- Cyrene: Let your thoughts flow like stars drifting on the river, carried by fireflies and gentle winds, your destinies flowing towards the same future...
- Cyrene: Now, shall we begin?
- Cyrene: Oh... Oh my... the cards are quite responsive today...
- Cyrene: Very well, let's see what future the oracle cards wish to show us.
- Turn to the first page of oracle cards.
- Reveal the "Weaver."
- Cyrene: Behold, the "Weaver." It connects the romantic threads of the "Chrysalis of Gold," weaving all destinies into golden silk that flows toward the most brilliant, magnificent future...
- "Weaver": A dance of thread and blade set the stage, so shall it end as gracefully as it started.
- Phainon: Such elegance... The Gold Weaver must be of noble birth.
- Phainon: Such high standing... I doubt someone like me could ever reach it.
- Reveal the "Gatekeeper."
- Cyrene: This is the "Gatekeeper," who guides people to their true path among myriad passages.
- "Gatekeeper": We have surrendered our countless senses, dedicating ourselves to the sacred whispers within the temple!
- Phainon: Wait... It almost feels like I can hear the echoes within a temple! And... are those children singing?
- Phainon: It feels overwhelmingly solemn, yet strangely comforting...
- Reveal the "Ruler"
- Cyrene: The "Ruler" stands for discipline, authority and glory, but frequently also points to isolation and warfare.
- "Ruler": Even should you pledge your loyalty to me as the last sovereign, the glory shall be mine and mine alone...
- "Ruler": He who has slain a king can no longer bear the title. Let the withering lion walk his last path alone.
- Phainon: Is this showing us... a "Ruler" who forsook their people?
- Phainon: Stories of such bloodshed like this feel so distant from Aedes Elysiae... but they sure can stir the imagination.
- Reveal the "Traveler."
- Cyrene: Ah! The Traveler, our little trickster! Always hiding behind other cards, disguising itself. What a rare catch!
- "Traveler": ...Over here?
- "Traveler": Or perhaps — here?
- "Traveler": Gotcha! You'll have to be quicker than that!
- Phainon: That teasing voice... just like a child playing hide and seek. Surely, only a master of mischief could pick up this card!
- Check the other cards.
- Turn to the second page of oracle cards.
- Reveal the "Servant"
- Cyrene: This card, the Servant, is surprisingly light, bearing the cool scent of Antila flowers, just like starlight.
- Cyrene: It symbolizes new life and hope, yet often brings to mind struggles, sadness, and loss.
- "Servant": These precious flowers I care for with my own hands... are they destined to bloom only in death's embrace?
- Phainon: It sounds so solemn, yet tinged with an inescapable sorrow...
- Reveal the "Healer."
- Cyrene: The humble "Healer" may seem gentle in hue, but its courage matches any other, strong enough to melt even the coldest ice.
- "Healer": I will do my best to help you mend all fractures and let sunlight shine on every corner of the world!
- "Healer": Make a pinky promise with me. No more going back on your word!
- Phainon: Hey, this card really speaks to me. It makes me want to protect as much as I possibly can...
- Phainon: Still, "protecting everything everywhere" seems like a dream — what amazing power would you need for that?
- Reveal the "Scholar."
- Cyrene: Behold the Scholar, bearer of many names: the Grand Magician, the Great Performer, the Eye of Wisdom, and the Defiler of Cerces.
- Phainon: Oh, there's just one card? With all those titles, I was expecting a whole deck...
- "Scholar": "A dromas draped in finery" will suffice — it's succinct enough to best summarize my true nature.
- Phainon: Wait, what's with that condescending tone? It's almost as if it knows what we're about to say.
- Check the other cards.
- Reveal Phainon's oracle cards.
- Cyrene: The "Deliverer"... According to the tripartite prophecy, this card means absolute harmony and perfection.
- Cyrene: In fact, it's the only oracle card without a dark side.
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: What? No divine whispers this time?
- Cyrene: Oh silly... this is simply the card you drew for yourself.
- Lygus: The sleepy village of Aedes Elysiae in just one fleeting moment, welcomed an array of legendary figures: the Weaver, Gatekeeper, Ruler, Traveler, Servant, Healer, and Scholar...
- Lygus: Their stories and wishes showed the village boy glimpses of a world larger than he'd ever imagined.
- Lygus: They brought tales of raging battles, of cities crowned in holy light, and of wonders beyond his understanding... each story so far removed from his simple village life.
- Lygus: Once, these were just images on his friend's oracle cards. And yet, destiny now stirs in resonance with the maze...
- Lygus: And now, they are right in front of one's eyes.
- Phainon: The Deliverer... this card again.
- Dolimem: Ah, my child... It seems you're destined to bear the wishes of many, to answer the world's call.
- Phainon: Bear their... wishes?
- Dolimem: Yes. Just like Kephale, standing eternal atop the mountain.
- Phainon: My parents... they only wished for me to grow up well, to help around the village, stay out of trouble...
- Phainon: Mrs. Pythias wished for more books in her little schoolhouse, wanted us all to learn and grow. And little Piso... he wants to grow up strong like his father, to become a hunter...
- Phainon: Is that my purpose? To fulfill their wishes?
- Cyrene: Perhaps... for a true Deliverer, such wishes are but droplets in an ocean.
- Cyrene: After all, Kephale bears the weight of the entire world.
- Phainon: Right... How could any human possibly measure up to a Titan?
- Cyrene: Mmm, I wonder too. Perhaps...
- Phainon: What's this...?
- Cyrene: What you see are futures written in the cards. Or rather, the people you'll meet on your journey.
- Cyrene: Sometimes, fate can guide us when we're lost. Let's consult fate itself. Maybe then we'll know why we must take this path...
- Cyrene: And learn... just how many burdens one must bear to become a true "Deliverer."
Talk to Cyrene about the future revealed by oracle cards[]
- Step DescriptionThe "oracle cards," childhood toys of Phainon and Cyrene, reflect the figures of Flame-Chase heroes, both familiar and strange. Do they symbolize the unyielding threads of fate? Or are they merely foggy backdrops on this theatrical stage? At this moment, (Trailblazer) could not yet tell.
- (Listen to the Weaver and Gatekeeper, optional)
- "Weaver": Personal wishes? I have none. Only the Era Nova matters: The world's rebirth. Yet, if I am to weave a new era, then may it be one where Caenis and her Cleaners shall never tread.
- "Weaver": These crawling parasites have no place in Okhema, especially not under the deceitful claim of "human rule."
- Phainon: That... noble lady? The way she speaks... it's like ice in my veins...
- She's truly selfless in her dedication.
- Phainon: Huh... not exactly the warmth I'd expect from someone selfless...
- She's as cold as winter frost.
- Phainon: That's exactly the feeling I'm getting...
- "Weaver": Teacher, perhaps you could share your wishes with us?
- "Gatekeeper": Oh Snowy... you wanna know about our wishes now?
- "Gatekeeper": I wish to meet Trianne again, in the sea of flowers where the west wind ends.
- "Gatekeeper": And Agy, I want to see you shed that golden-thread cocoon around your heart. Just once more, smile at us again like that bright-eyed girl in white who stood before the Janusopolis temple.
- "Gatekeeper": Finally, I pray that the footsteps of lost souls no longer wander aimlessly, instead, replaced by the bright songs of prayer.
- "Gatekeeper": Are we wishing for too much? Well, let's say these three wishes represent Trianne and Trinnon too!
- Phainon: Those wishes... are truly wonderful. They even stir something deep inside me...
- "Gatekeeper": Then we can rest easy, because only "you" can make these wishes come true.
- Phainon: Only... me?
- "Gatekeeper": Mark these words, Snowy! See you...
- "Gatekeeper": ...tomorrow!
- (Listen to the Traveler, Servant, and Healer, optional)
- "Traveler": Well, well, if it isn't our little Deliverer!
- "Traveler": My wish? Ha! Just let me wine and dine and soak up the sun for another millennium or two. I mean, what's the point of dying rich if you never lived rich?
- "Traveler": Right, Princess Homebody?
- "Servant": Cipher, that's... not how I see it.
- "Servant": My one wish... is to find that missing piece in my life, to feel someone's embrace once more. That warmth... I've felt it before, and it's my dearest memory. And speaking of riches...
- "Servant": For someone with all those treasures behind your divine power... you've led a pretty cheap life~
- "Traveler": Ouch, where did that come from...
- "Traveler": Right for the jugular, huh?
- "Traveler": What about our friend from the Grove?
- "Healer": My wish came true before I touched the Sky. I transformed my healing power into gentle sunlight, distributing it equally to every life I cherished and loved.
- "Traveler": You two are so selfless, aren't you? No surprise Aglaea wanted you for the Flame-Chase Journey.
- "Traveler": You know what? I did have one wild dream, to know what it feels like being born a noble lady, drowning in riches.
- "Traveler": Just think, if I traded places with that seamstress! Me in the mansion, her on the streets! I'd like to see if she'd still become the "Goldweaver" then! Maybe I'd even take her place!
- "Servant" & "Healer": ...
- Can we jump in and fit right into their convo?
- Phainon: Doesn't sound like an easy task...
- These wishes... they make you want to smile.
- Phainon: I can't disagree with you. These wishes aren't weights to bear. They're like those candy wrappers the Aedes Elysiae children love, shining even brighter when bathed in sunlight.
- Phainon: "Warm embrace," "equal healing," and... perhaps... "living free"?
- Phainon: They're all wishing for a kinder world, in their own way.
- (Listen to the Scholar, optional)
- "Scholar": Ah, Phainon, my student, must we go over this again?
- "Scholar": Listen well. I detest the word "wish." It reeks of mortals crawling before their gods.
- "Scholar": My life's work is done. All that remains is for you to take the final step and prove the ultimate truth—
- "Scholar": I, Anaxagoras, shall become a god of the new world. Through irrefutable logic, I will prove that mortal wisdom can achieve divine greatness.
- Phainon: Isn't he... you know, a little...?
- Phainon: I mean, I just daydream about hero stories, but he's fantasizing about becoming a... Titan?
- Careful — that's your future teacher you're talking about.
- Phainon: Well, that's... something. Could I ever be that sure of myself?
- His ambitions rest on your shoulders.
- Phainon: Come on, you're joking right? Am I really being burdened with a dream that feels more like a fantasy?
- (Listen to the Ruler, optional)
- "Ruler": Phainon? Since when did you become so timid, asking such juvenile questions about wishes?
- Phainon: What's that supposed to mean? And what's with that condescending tone...
- Phainon: No way I become friends with this half-naked showoff, right?
- Sorry to disappoint, but you end up being close friends.
- Phainon: Just what kind of life am I going to lead...
- You'll be the kind of friends who think nothing of sitting shoulder to shoulder in a hot bath.
- Phainon: Horrifying... is that really something I'll enjoy one day?
- "Ruler": What are you mumbling to yourself now? Whatever...
- "Ruler": The wishes of the Kremnoan warriors are done. But I—
- "Ruler": I survived a thousand deaths only to fall to a coward's blade... That masked Flame Reaver who struck from behind.
- "Ruler": Phainon, you look...
- "Ruler": Never mind. That blank look tells me you're completely lost.
- "Ruler": My wish is simple: One honest duel. Face to face, blade to blade. Then I'll strip away that mask with my own hands.
- Phainon: Nothing but violence and vengeance... this person's wish is nothing short of brutal.
- Phainon: Still... those eyes burn with the noble pride I've read about. This wish, I shall not forget.
- (Talk to Cyrene)
- Cyrene: So tell me... has the uncertainty in your heart begun to fade?
- Phainon: So many faces in my future... so many wishes...
- Phainon: Still... why would fate choose to show us this path?
- Dolimem: What's weighing on your mind?
- Phainon: Didn't you say disaster would strike Amphoreus? If so, shouldn't Cyrene and I stay in Aedes Elysiae? How could we possibly meet all these people?
- Even the darkest storm must eventually pass.
- Phainon: That's... wonderfully optimistic. I like it.
- Perhaps they'll come to Aedes Elysiae?
- Phainon: Our secluded village as humanity's last haven... That makes sense.
- This calamity is what sets you on your journey.
- Phainon: If that's true, then... who will protect everyone in Aedes Elysiae?
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: Cyrene, may I have that "Deliverer" card?
- Cyrene: Of course. But why?
- Phainon: Although those voices, visages, and wishes may seem far away now...
- Phainon: I can't ignore the sense that something is calling me, bidding me to take hold of it. Maybe... its true weight can only be known once it's in my grasp.
- Cyrene: In that case...
- Cyrene: Accept this gift: oracle cards carrying time's wisdom, blessed by Oronyx...
- Cyrene: May they journey with you, become your memories... and spark rippling waves of change in times to come.
- Phainon: I'll hold these words close to my heart.
- Phainon: But... now that I'm holding them, they don't seem all that different from ordinary playing cards...
- Cyrene: What... what's happening?
- Relimem: E—Everyone, we've got big trouble memi!
- Relimem: Burning... smoke everywhere... It's all coming from beyond the Maze!
- Phainon: ...What's going on!?
- Dolimem: It's here... The seeds of disaster have already taken hold, sooner than we had foreseen.
- Dolimem: This time... not even the Veil of Evernight can shield us.
- Phainon: Y—You mean... Aedes Elysiae will be swept up in the prophesied catastrophe?
- Dolimem: I'm afraid so...
- Dolimem: My children, take shelter in the Membrance Maze. One step outside and this horror will consume you both.
- Phainon: But my parents... the whole village...
- We need to save them — now.
- Phainon: You're right. Chief, what are we truly facing? Is this the power of a Titan?
- Is this "Calamity"... a Titan's doing?
- Cyrene: Are we facing the Three Titans of Calamity?
- Dolimem: This is beyond any Titan, beyond any danger you could overcome with strategy alone.
- Dolimem: It's an unspeakable horror that twists all life into abominations that never bleed nor cry. Even Titans fall to its corruption, burning from within until only empty shells remain, knowing only death and destruction...
- Dolimem: The "black tide." That's what this calamity truly is. It consumes all in its path, sparing none but the Membrance Maze.
- Phainon: Not even Titans can...
- Dolimem: Yes. So please, don't leave this forgotten realm the gods abandoned — you are the first to uncover our presence, and the only two who can enter the Maze...
- Dolimem: We... don't wish for you to throw your lives away.
- Cyrene: We...
- Cyrene: Phainon... what path do we take?
- Phainon: ...
- Stay here, safe in the Maze.
- Phainon: As long as we survive, hope remains...
- Phainon: But... I just accepted the "Deliverer" card. To idly sit by and ignore this calamity now would be...
- (Go back to dialogue choice with the option removed)
- Listen to your heart.
- Phainon: My heart...
- Phainon: My heart knows but one path...
- (Go back to dialogue choice with the option removed)
- Protect those who must be protected.
- Phainon: ...I learned the sword to protect those close to me. If I run now... I'll never be worthy of lifting a blade again.
- Cyrene: Then we know what we must do.
- Phainon: Indeed. Our friend is right... we must take action.
- Phainon: Forgive me, Chief! But Aedes Elysiae needs us... and as her child, I must act!
- Dolimem: ...Very well. Make sure you protect yourselves.
- Phainon: With me, Cyrene. Join us, my friend—
- Phainon: Even without a sword, I'll take a rake! Even with the roughest steel, I'll keep our home safe!
- Cyrene: "Deliverer"...
- Cyrene: The card's truth extends beyond its mere literal meaning, there's another hidden layer within.
- Cyrene: Not someone perfect from the start, standing high above, casting merciful gazes upon the world...
- Cyrene: But one who starts small, from a humble village, expanding their "world within" step by step, learning to save others as they grow...
- Cyrene: When we were little, I told him I wished this world would never need a Deliverer...
- Cyrene: Now that wish has shattered, yet I'm glad... he's chosen to walk this path.
- Cyrene: And all of this...
- Cyrene: ...happened because you believed in him, friend.
- Cyrene: Shall we? It's only when you're by our side that Phainon and I... that our hearts find their courage.
- Cyrene: I know you're watching us right now... aren't you, "Great Hero" from the future?
- Lygus: "Deliverer."
- Lygus: Such cruel irony — though destined to bear the world's burden, this boy can never become the hero to bring forth the dawn.
- What are you talking about...?
- Don't tell me... I'm the one who has to deliver salvation?
- Are you here just to spoil the story?
- Lygus: Follow their path, (Trailblazer). Bear witness as this man, forever denied the mantle of hero, takes his first step on the path to Deliverance.
- Lygus: Watch this memory play out its final act. See with your own eyes how everything began...
- Lygus: Then you'll see why his dream of "Deliverance" was always destined to become this world's requiem.
Save Aedes Elysiae[]
- Step DescriptionFaced with the oncoming "catastrophe," the Phainon of the past made his choice.
And that very decision led him to the start of Flame-Chase Journey...
- ...
- A sun red as blood, wheat fields turning to dust, and in the heart of it all, a village aflame—
- In that moment, the boy stood at what felt like the end of existence itself.
- Monstrous Roar: ███ ██ ███ █ ██ ███ ███ ███ ████ █ ██████
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: These creatures... they're everywhere...
- Phainon: Someone... anyone... where are you...
- Monstrous Roar: Phai█ ███ █non █ ███ █
- Phainon: No... it can't be...
- Monstrous Roar: █Why █did██ █you█ ██ █?
- Phainon: Y—You...
- Phainon: Are you... talking to me?
- Monstrous Roar: I█ █don't██ want to██ ███ die█... ██...█ █ █
- Monstrous Roar: Weren't█ we███ █best█ ██ friends█ ███ forever██ █?
- Phainon: No... that ribbon...
- Phainon: Livia... no...
- Phainon: I should have known...
- Monstrous Roar: Saaaaave uuuus Saaaaave █ us█ █us█ ███ ██ █ ██ ███ ████
- Monstrous Roar: ███ ██ ███ █ ██ ███ ███ ███ ████ █ ██████
- Phainon: Please... no...
- Phainon: Stop... please stop...
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: Oh, Livia... I'm so sorry...
- Phainon: And these monsters... they're all...
- Phainon: Ah...
- Phainon: WHY... WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?
- Phainon: ...
- Lygus: When the black tide arrived, the wavering boy found resolve in his companions, and together they ran toward their first battlefield.
- Lygus: In the far-off future, the land of Amphoreus would bear the marks of the heroes' footsteps: With sword in hand, he would inscribe, an eternal mark in the Golden Epic.
- Lygus: And when dawn broke over scorched earth, a boy, covered in wounds, buried the dead one by one, his silence heavier than the earth he moved...
- Lygus: His home. His past. His name. All buried beneath the soil.
- Lygus: His feet carried him forward. Over the Pillar of Stone. Beyond the Chalice of Plenty. Through the deadly fogs of the Hand of Shadow.
- Lygus: He wandered without direction, like a withered leaf drifting in the wind. Through countless city-states, the smiling visage of the white-haired swordsman was etched into memories.
- Lygus: Yet he did not walk without purpose. Deep in his heart, a voice always guided him forward to fulfill the wishes he had inherited, to brave peril, and to do all that was within his power to save those who needed saving.
- Lygus: Those words his friend spoke long ago, when his journey began lingered...
- Phainon: "Protect those who must be protected."
- Lygus: The words were few. But they gave him all the certainty he needed.
- Phainon: "That's what it means to be ordinary and choose to be more."
- Lygus: Onward he walked until the call of the Flame-Chase Journey thundered across the land. In the vision painted by prophecy, humanity would triumph over the gods, seize the Coreflames, and ignite a new dawn for Amphoreus.
- Phainon: "Yet losses are a constant on the Flame-Chase journey, where life, too, seems as small as a speck of dust."
- Phainon: "Only one who treats the world as their teacher can bear its eventual destiny. Are you prepared for such teachings?"
- Lygus: The voice within spoke, and he answered softly.
- Phainon: "No matter. My existence is of no consequence."
- Lygus: When the Goldweaver called, he answered, traveling to the holy city. There, the Elders met his warrior's spirit with nothing but scorn, condemning him to the barracks in derision.
- Lygus: No one saw it coming. Not the world, not even him. Yet, this nameless recruit stood at the gates of legend...
- Lygus: And there, at last, he found the ones who would walk his path right beside him.
Head to Act II: Trial[]
- Step DescriptionThe second act of this "drama" is Phainon's first encounter with Mydei, the Kremnos prince we all know...
- Act II: Trial
- (Trailblazer): (This is... the Abyss of Fate...)
- (Trailblazer): (Hold on. Phainon's here too? And is that Mydei and Trinnon?)
- Lygus: And now, Act Two of our immersive drama unfolds.
- Confused Priest: They're evacuating the Temple? Why now?
- Panicked Priest: Are you insane? That blond man is the crown prince of Kremnos! Mess with him, and every last person in the city could wind up dead!
- Rational Priestess: Calm yourselves. The Holy Maiden has everything under control. We need only wait patiently...
- Lygus: Behold! It is the Month of Gate, Light Calendar 4926. The crown prince of Kremnos, Mydeimos, has led his forces to the gates of Okhema.
- Lygus: As you know, though Mydeimos was proud, he did not engage in needless violence. He challenged the elders of Okhema to a duel, not for glory, but for the rights and dignity of his people. To ensure they wouldn't live as second-class citizens in foreign lands.
- Lygus: After Aglaea's mediation, Phainon met Mydeimos's challenge as the elders' representative. This duel was to change the course of the Flame-Chase Journey itself...
- Lygus: So, as Phainon's most important companion, his lifelong friend, please, continue to bear witness to his memories.
Witness a different kind of "duel"[]
- (Approach Mydei, Trinnon, and Phainon)
- Mydei: ...Is this your idea of an honorable duel?
- Trinnon: Bloodshed isn't the way. We and Agy don't want to see Chrysos Heirs turn on each other.
- Trinnon: True warriors know when to sheathe their blades. The impartial Talanton shall oversee this duel. You need only place your offerings upon their scales...
- Trinnon: ...Something that has more weight than the fate of the world.
- Phainon: Which means only those who understand the world's weight are worthy to carry it... Is this how you plan to test our convictions?
- Phainon: Well, Kremnoan, looks like you won't be able to punch your way through this one.
- Mydei: It makes no difference. One last chance, new recruit. Walk away, and I'll spare your life.
- Mydei: Otherwise — come and face me! I'll give you a warrior's death!
- Phainon: ...
- (Trailblazer): (Hard to imagine they once clashed like this...)
- Phainon: Holy Maiden, I can't help but feel like a pawn that has stumbled into some greater political game.
- Trinnon: Every hero was once a child. And every child must grow.
- Phainon: That so? I don't even know why I'm standing here right now.
- Phainon: Look at me, just a common soldier. Since swordsmanship won't decide the winner, Lady Goldweaver should be here instead. My devotion to the holy city could never compare to hers.
- Trinnon: What if we told you this duel isn't about winning or losing, but rather in the choice you make?
- Phainon: Are you saying that Lady Goldweaver is testing me?
- Trinnon: Every Chrysos Heir is indispensable to the Flame-Chase Journey. And you and the crown prince of Kremnos are both a part of the prophecy.
- Trinnon: What the duel marks is not an ending, but a beginning. So, listen to your heart. We wish only to hear your answer.
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: True enough... The voice within has never failed me. It doesn't matter what the result is... I'll give it everything I have.
- Trinnon: Spoken like a Chrysos Heir. Now go, Phainon, your journey has only just begun.
- Phainon: That's right, comrade! It's time for us to teach that proud prince a lesson together!
- C'mon, we've got this.
- Phainon: Haha! Now that's what I like to hear!
- Someday, he too will be your comrade.
- Phainon: Me? With him? Pfft, don't joke around like that...
- What if we lose?
- Phainon: Well... if we lose, we'll find out, won't we?
- Phainon: Still, on the topic of the Temple of the Three Fates...
- Phainon: Here we are, at the temple of the Time Titan, and I don't even know how Cyrene's studies are progressing... We haven't really had much contact since I set out...
- Phainon: Still, I hope she's doing well. Anyway, let's go, comrade. It's not every day you get a chance to see Talanton's Scales of Justice.
- (Trailblazer): (What's going on...)
- (Trailblazer): (Did he just say Cyrene's studying here? But how is that possible? Wasn't she...)
- (Trailblazer): ...
- (Trailblazer): (Of course Lygus disappears right when I need answers...)
- (Trailblazer): Forget it, I need to catch up with Phainon first.
Follow Phainon to prepare for "duel"[]
- Phainon: Amazing. Talanton may have fallen, but their scales remain true to their purpose.
- Mydei: I hope you still remember your purpose, new recruit.
- Phainon: You seem awfully confident, Kremnoan. Let's see how you define the idea of "weight."
- Mydei: For your information, in Castrum Kremnos, the punishment for profaning a duel with such crooked words is impalement.
- Mydei: But as we're in foreign lands, I'll indulge you—
- Mydei: The Signet of Kremnos, the crown jewel of our people. That's my choice.
- Phainon: A ring? Not just any ornament, I'd wager. What's the story behind this little treasure?
- Mydei: Don't push your luck. Think I'd pour my heart out to you?
- Mydei: Just know that Kremnos's thousand years of glory could bring a Titan to its knees, let alone a nobody like you!
- Phainon: So to him, glory and his people outweigh the entire world...
- (Trailblazer): (And the very destiny that Mydei himself will eventually shoulder...)
Accept the test of Talanton[]
- (Talk to Trinnon, optional)
- Trinnon: Don't overthink it, Phainon. Trust your heart.
- (Talk to Phainon, optional)
- Phainon: That's easy for you to say. I'm just a Holy City Guard, up against Kremnos's walking war machine of a prince...
- Phainon: ...Don't you think this is a little bit too unfair!?
- (Attempt to leave the area)
- Phainon: Where are you going, comrade?
- Phainon: Come back. We need to decide this here and now.
- Accept the test
- Phainon: Now this is a tough one. What can I possibly offer against a ring that signifies so much?
- Phainon: Well, comrade? What does your gut tell you?
- The "Deliverer" card...
- Phainon: ...Looks like we really are on the same wavelength.
- The blade you carry...
- Phainon: This sword has been with me through every battle. One day, it'll help write a heroic epic...
- Phainon: But not today. I'm still young, and I have a long road ahead. So does this blade.
- A heart of steel...
- Phainon: You mean my conviction? But... just resolve isn't enough, is it? Unless I literally gave my heart...
- Phainon: Ha! No way. Only an Aidonian would do something that crazy.
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: In the end, there's only one thing I can trust...
- Phainon: The "Deliverer" that appeared in my life on that day... How ironic. I can't even look at this card properly, much less follow where it leads.
- Phainon: Just thinking about how my village was swallowed by the black tide makes my hands shake. The flames, the screams, my utter failure to protect anyone...
- Phainon: Speaking rationally, I know it's not nearly enough. Aedes Elysiae was just a small village, its loss barely a scar on Amphoreus's face.
- Phainon: But here and now, my heart says something else...
- Phainon: This card... It's everything I have left. Nothing weighs heavier.
- ???: Perhaps that itself is the answer.
- Trinnon: Look, Phainon...
- Cyrene: It's so nice to see you all again! Lady Trinnon, Phainon, and...
- Cyrene: Hello! Seeing you here sure is a sweet surprise♪
- Cyrene? But how...
- Did I stumble into the wrong Amphoreus?
- Cyrene: Why so surprised? Could it be... did you miss me?
- Phainon: Cyrene?
- Phainon: This is... incredible. I was literally just thinking about how you might be here, but I never imagined I'd see you this soon.
- Cyrene: Hehe, I was supposed to leave with the priests, but then I heard Lady Maiden was with a white-haired young man...
- Cyrene: I figured it had to be you, so I snuck back here!
- Phainon: Ha... That's Cyrene for you. Unfortunately, this isn't a good time for reminiscing. That Kremnoan over there...
- Mydei: Still playing house, boy?
- Phainon: ...You get the idea.
- Cyrene: Quite the hothead. Y'know, you two just might get along.
- Cyrene: Don't worry. You already know what the answer is, don't you?
- Cyrene: If that's your choice, I am with you.
- Cyrene: I am with you because I remember it all too. The fields of Aedes Elysiae, those red leaves, that little swing of mine beneath the tree where I'd dream the sweetest dreams. And those dear fairies in the Membrance Maze... It hurts so much knowing they're gone forever...
- Cyrene: The pain speaks for itself. Our hometown may have been just a tiny village, but to us, it was the whole world.
- Cyrene: But... that's not enough, Phainon. Not nearly enough.
- Cyrene: Even though hatred can help people grow, and turn a boy into an unbreakable warrior...
- Cyrene: What you need now is victory. You can't just stack the scales with your past suffering...
- Cyrene: You have to throw the weight of your "future" onto them as well.
- Phainon: The future...? What do you mean?
- Cyrene: Maybe that was a bit too cryptic for you, but it's actually really simple!
- Cyrene: Why not have our mutual friend here stand on the scales with the "Deliverer"?
- Cyrene: How about it? Can you help us?
- Me...?
- Cyrene: Of course, after all... you're what we aspire to.
- Wouldn't that be cheating?
- Cyrene: Hehe, relax, our dear crown prince won't have a clue~
- Phainon: ...Let's try that.
- Phainon: The fate of Okhema hangs on this duel. I must claim victory, for their sake.
- Phainon: I will stake everything I have. Stand with me, comrade, and we shall become heroes.
- Remember the past, and become the hero of tomorrow.
- Phainon: Let's. Together we'll prove that what weighs more than the fate of the world...
- Phainon: ...Is the resolve to shoulder an immutable past, and carry it into the future.
- Trinnon: Talanton, the fair, the just, they of unassailable integrity — the challengers have made their choices.
- Trinnon: In the name of the Holy Maiden of the Three Fates, lower your scales, weigh destiny, and reveal unto us your verdict!
- Mydei: Your offering is... a card?
- Phainon: Yes, a flimsy little card. That is my choice. Just know that it's called the "Deliverer."
- Mydei: Interesting. Very well — if you can beat me with this card, then that's what I'll call you from now on!
- Phainon: It's a deal.
- Cyrene: The scales... they're wavering...
- Trinnon: Talanton is deliberating on the outcome. It appears the convictions of both sides are... equally matched.
- Mydei: ...
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: This is... suffocating. Like the whole world's weight is on my shoulders.
- Phainon: But I believe... what my heart tells me...
- Titan's Voice: *Titan's murmurs*
- Mydei: Finally decided?
- Trinnon: "Hear thee, children of humanity: I shall pronounce judgment, for the difference is now clear."
- Trinnon: "The one whose offering weighs more than the fate of the world is—"
- Phainon: ...
- Mydei: ...
- Trinnon: "One from Aedes Elysiae, the Nameless Hero."
- Phainon: ...
- Cyrene: ...♪
- Titan's Voice: *Titan's murmurs*
- Trinnon: "However, heed this..."
- Trinnon: "The true weight of conviction originates not from itself..."
- Trinnon: "...but rather in that which tips the scales, hope itself."
- Mydei: What's that supposed to mean?
- Cyrene: I think the Titan means that it's not anyone's personal convictions that outweigh the fate of the world.
- Cyrene: It's about a wish, one which we all share — you, me, everyone here. What tipped the scales wasn't Phainon's conviction alone, but the collective hopes carried by this oracle card — humanity's desperate call for a Deliverer.
- Phainon: Yes, even you and your people, Kremnoan.
- Mydei: Placing us both on the same side of the scales? Foolish. We Kremnoans are your mortal enemies. Such weak idealism will only get you skewered on our spears.
- Phainon: Fine by me. I've never claimed to be the Deliverer from the card anyway.
- Phainon: I'm a soldier, and if it's my fate to bleed my last on the battlefield, then so be it. I'll fight to my last breath. And on this, I know that we're the same...
- Phainon: That's all a "hero" really is. Someone with that kind of conviction. And the "Deliverer"? Just the sum of all those heroes.
- Aglaea: A brilliant explanation.
- Aglaea: Just as prophesied: "On this day, the final two heroes shall join the Flame-Chase Journey."
- Mydei: I should have known from the start. They all say Lady Goldweaver is quite brazen, but you're the first to even imagine that prophecies could persuade a Kremnos warrior.
- Aglaea: Oh, I have a thousand ways to tame a lion. But this lion didn't come here for bloodshed, did he?
- Hyacine: The Kremnoans far outmatch Okhema's forces, yet we haven't lost a single soul. That's no accident, is it?
- Mydei: Do you honestly think Kremnoans, renowned for our love of battle, would show mercy?
- Trinnon: Your forces are equally renowned for their iron discipline.
- Trinnon: And so, we can only assume that this is on your orders.
- Mydei: Perhaps Okhema isn't as hidebound as the rumors say. You grasp the true marrow of power more clearly than those Elders.
- Aglaea: Now that the wheels of fate are turning, what finer way to celebrate this fortuitous encounter than a feast?
- Aglaea: Follow me, brave outlanders — heroes of this world are as countless as the stars, and at this moment, we find ourselves gathered here by the light of the flames of the long night...
- Aglaea: History shall remember this moment. The prophesied Chrysos Heirs now stand assembled, heralding a new dawn for Amphoreus.
- (Trailblazer): ...
- Lygus: You must see it now... How different this is from the Flame-Chase Journey you traveled.
- Where did you disappear to?
- Lygus: I merely stepped backstage, so as not to disrupt your immersion.
- Just whose memories are these...?
- And whose role am I playing?
- Lygus: "Who"? Perhaps the role is not that of a person who really existed. Notice how only two particular individuals seem aware of your presence?
- Lygus: Patience. We're approaching the final act.
- Lygus: These are, as I mentioned, his first memories. They are of particular importance for the imminent Era Nova.
- Lygus: Such as this very moment, as the prophesized demigods gather with Talanton as witness...
- Lygus: This is a moment calculated by the gods. What comes after is no different from that which you already know. Some join, others leave, while Flame-Chasers bear their faint light forward through the long night.
- Lygus: Come, come, your seat awaits. After thirteen heartbeats—
- Lygus: Our heroes will be ferried to the final scene.
Head to Act III: Return[]
- Step DescriptionThe third act, as it plays out before (Trailblazer), appears to mark the end of the Flame-Chase Journey. But the one who witnesses the world's end times with Phainon is Cyrene — the girl we believe to have perished in his childhood years.
- Resisting Crowd: ...
- Cyrene: They say that the heroes of this world should be as countless as the stars...
- Cyrene: Yet now, we're the only ones left standing.
- Cyrene: So, in the end, the black tide still swallowed everything...
- Phainon: The west stands protected by Mydei's Kremnoans. It will hold for the time being. Professor Anaxa deployed wards in the north and east before... Their effectiveness is untested, but I believe in him. And Okhema...
- Phainon: We needn't fear for Aglaea. Even in death, she counts as the greatest among demigods. Her threads of "Romance" weave an impenetrable shield, and the people answer her call, rallying to the city's defense.
- Phainon: Let's move. Kephale has given their Coreflame. We must complete the Era Nova before the next Entry Hour... for Amphoreus!
- Cyrene: That only leaves three hours...
- Phainon: So... this is the last time we'll see her.
- Cyrene: ...
- Cyrene: Phainon...
- Cyrene: We set out on this journey to answer the world's desire, didn't we?
- Phainon: That's what it means to be a Chrysos Heir. So has it always been.
- Cyrene: Then why...
- Cyrene: ...Why must Amphoreus's wishes be so... cruel?
- Phainon: ...
- Cyrene: We made the best choices we could, whenever we could!
- Cyrene: But in the end... the prophecy that led us... this black tide swallowing everything...
- Cyrene: Why does it look like this?
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: I... I don't know.
- Phainon: But we haven't had any other choice... except to move forward. Not for a long time now.
- Phainon: Even if we only see the long, long night ahead, I still believe... that through it, we'll find the dawn on the other side. Beyond these flames, a new sun will someday rise.
- Phainon: So, to the Temple of the Three Fates! You'll take over Time's authority, and we'll return all the Coreflames to the Vortex, then put this world's fate to its final rest.
- Phainon: After which, we shall all face oblivion...
- Phainon: ...or embark on one final grand journey.
- Act III: Return
Greet Oronyx[]
- Oronyx: *Indistinct mutters*
- Cyrene: Please forgive us for disturbing your sleep, Oronyx.
- Oronyx: It matters not. I know, fate has run its course.
- Phainon: The black tide has reached Okhema. Amphoreus does not have much time left...
- Phainon: It is time for the Era Nova.
- Oronyx: As agreed, I shall present the Coreflame of Time...
- Oronyx: Ride the river of time. It will guard your passage to the Vortex of Genesis...
- Oronyx: Step through, and witness.
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: Professor Anaxa proved the truth of Genesis with his sacrifice. As Chrysos Heirs of the prophecy, we were always destined to immolate ourselves for this world...
- Phainon: Now it's our turn — we can't let everyone's sacrifices be in vain.
- Cyrene: I don't need another pep talk, Phainon.
- Cyrene: After all, we've been ready to fight fate ever since we left the village, haven't we?
- Phainon: ...Yeah.
- Phainon: Come, let's claim the miracle we were promised, and burn away every last shadow in this world...
- Cyrene: And then... rise as the first light of a new world.
- Lygus: Light Calendar 4931, the third week of the Month of Evernight. Welcome, my (Lord/
Lady) (Trailblazer), to the end of the Flame-Chase... - Lygus: ...and the end of all things.
- Lygus: The Titan has revealed the gateway of fate. Please, accept the invitation to step across the threshold, and behold!
- Lygus: Beyond this gate lies the new world that our heroes sought through their trials, as well as the terminus that the owner of these long memories has been hurtling towards their entire life...
- Lygus: Perhaps you'll find it... all too familiar.
- Lygus: Then you'll understand how the mortal called "Phainon" shouldered the world's weight. How that same burden crushed him, proving...
- Lygus: ...that the so-called "Deliverer" is nothing more than Amphoreus's own delusion, a pitiful fantasy that it could defy fate's decree.
- Lygus: Please, esteemed one, the answers you seek lie in these nonexistent times.
Follow the two to enter the end of destiny[]
- (Talk to Cyrene and Phainon, optional)
- Cyrene: The future revealed by the Titan...
- Phainon: Just what... will we see?
Listen to Lygus' explanation of the current situation[]
- Enter the end of destiny
- (Trailblazer): ...
- (Trailblazer): (The Vortex of Genesis... So it is here. But...)
- (Trailblazer): (Just what is this...?)
- Lygus: "Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more."
- Lygus: "It is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
- Lygus: The Vortex of Genesis, where the world begins and ends. What stage could be more befitting of our final act? Come, come, come, I beseech you onward, buoyed by your surging curiosity.
- Lygus: As an unattainable existence that has dwelled within his heart, beyond his reach, you have accompanied him through the march of years uncounted, you naturally have the right to view the river of time in its fullness, and to witness what he welcomed upon his arrival here, every absurd and tragic ending.
Keep going to witness the theatrical curtain call[]
- Lygus: Now, if you would.
- (Walk towards the spirit basin)
- Phainon: My journey to the Era Nova... it ends here...
- Hyacine: When the Era Nova comes, the skies will clear again.
- Aglaea: O Deliverer, though you walk alone, please complete the work of bringing about the Era Nova.
- Anaxa: Enough talk. Go, make the Era Nova happen in my stead.
- Mydei: Hmph! So what if there's only one person left to witness the Era Nova?
- Cipher: Now this is one sorry excuse for an Era Nova, Deliverer boy.
- Castorice: I just know... Beyond the Era Nova lies a sea of flowers.
- Tribbie: Go on, Snowy. Make the Era Nova happen for all of us!
- (Approach Lygus)
- Phainon: None of that matters now. This brutal Flame-Chase Journey has stripped away my delusions. I know the future isn't some peaceful paradise with gentle west winds, just waiting to welcome us to step in...
- Cyrene: This will be a romantic story like none that has come before...
- Cyrene: You think so too, right?
- This is... the rest of Phainon and Cyrene's story?
- Haven't I... seen this scene before?
- Lygus: Indeed! In his memories, such a scene replays over and over. Though the details may differ, this remains ever the same: "All shall bid farewell to one, and that person alone will witness the miracle..."
- Lygus: ...A total of 33,550,335 times.
- Lygus: Each is a drop from the river of time, representing the long journey he would take, or rather...
- Lygus: ...the never-ending cycle.
- What cycle?
- Lygus: Hehe, just putting it in terms that might be easier for you to understand.
- I knew it...
- Lygus: Hehe, sharp as ever, I see.
- Lygus: Seeing is believing. Why not let your own two eyes uncover the truth?
- Lygus: Or perhaps, you can simply walk straight to the final truth: See the true face of the character you play, and witness the ultimate nature of the Chrysos Heirs, Flame-Chase Journey, and the cycles of Amphoreus.
Talk to Lygus to show the final memory[]
- Step DescriptionAccording to (Trailblazer), certain details in this "memory" seem at odds with our journey through Amphoreus. It appears Lygus intended to use this to reveal Amphoreus's true state to (Trailblazer).
- Lygus: Please, take your time. Look around as much as you wish.
- (Watch memory fragments, optional)
- Eternal Recurrence #134
- Phainon: Not a single soul to be seen. So this is how the Vortex looks at the end of days...
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: Hehe... Looks like I've got company after all. But since you've made it here...
- Phainon: So, in the end, you succeeded...
- Phainon: ...Executioner.
- Eternal Recurrence #10348765
- Phainon: Castorice? Didn't you...
- Castorice: Yes, I've become Death's demigod, and shall never again walk the world of the living. What you see is the surging of the River of Souls, brought on by the countless dead feeding it in these dark times.
- Castorice: They cry out: Though dead, they'll converge into a torrent and guard the Vortex, to see the Era Nova fulfilled.
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: I will take all the wishes of the departed with me. Please, everyone, fight with me, to the very last.
- Castorice: I hear them: The dead hail you... they're prepared.
- Castorice: Go on, Deliverer. We'll keep that executioner in our shadows — the path before you leads to light and eternal flames.
- Eternal Recurrence #7753021
- Cipher: Ugh, there's water everywhere. This place is always all wet and sticky, even my tail's getting heavy...
- Cipher: Plus that burnt smell and that sizzling noise... Yikes, nobody from Dolos could stand this.
- Phainon: ...So you feel it too.
- Cipher: Go on then, I'll handle the filth. Do what you need to do.
- Phainon: Let me fight with you. Better odds with two.
- Cipher: Hey, remember what the seamstress said? You know what really matters.
- Phainon: Yeah...
- Phainon: ...I'll leave it to you then.
- Cipher: Wow, someone's not shy. Just so you know, I'm not in the business of making losing deals...
- Cipher: I'll distract that executioner — you go turn the world's biggest lie into truth. Let me become the first wind of your new world.
- Eternal Recurrence #2691
- Mydei: Just shut up and get out of here!
- Phainon: Are you crazy, Mydei!? Immortal or not, even if you're the demigod of Strife...
- Mydei: ...I'm still no match for them?
- Phainon: No, I know you can... I just wanted to request that you witness the Era Nova with me.
- Phainon: Together, let's prove... that we're enough to transcend the prophesized fate.
- Mydei: Ha! Could it be, that now, at the critical juncture, our mighty "Deliverer" is chickening out? Scared of a stupid prophecy?
- Phainon: ...
- Mydei: I'll transcend the prophesized fate, alright, but I've got a better way: As the son of Gorgo, I'll prove myself with one last grand victory, just like when I ripped out the old king's heart!
- Mydei: Go, leave this to me. If the black tide creatures block out the sun, then we Kremnoans will fight in the shade—
- Mydei: And when I'm done with that executioner, we'll raise our cups where the west winds end.
- Eternal Recurrence #823156
- Little Ica: Doot... Doot-Doot.
- Phainon: Hey, little one... are you scared?
- Little Ica: Doot! Doot-Doot!
- Phainon: Hehe... as brave as Hyacine. Stay close, Little Ika [sic]...
- Little Ica: Doot, doot-doot.
- Phainon: What? No, not... not you too...
- Little Ica: Doot-Doot, doot.
- Phainon: ...I see. I won't squander your kindness... your hopes.
- Phainon: So, please keep this bit of sky standing for me—
- Little Ica: Doot! Doot-Doot!
- Phainon: Well, now there's one last thing I need to do before the Era Nova...
- Phainon: Come, executioner. Let this patch of clear sky show me where to strike.
- Eternal Recurrence #33550334
- Aglaea: "All shall bid farewell to one, and that person alone will witness the miracle. Such is the will of fate."
- Phainon: So, even the future revealed by the Titan may not come to pass.
- Aglaea: The Era Nova... this unrivaled masterpiece, I have no regrets, now that I may entrust it to my most trusted apprentice.
- Phainon: Are you saying...
- Aglaea: Fate is ever unassailable. The golden threads tell me the black tide rushes toward the Vortex, ready to swallow this place. I must weave the last of my humanity into a net to hold back the deluge...
- Aglaea: "I shall have my final bath in warm and radiant gold." — Now, the hour of fulfillment has come.
- Aglaea: Forgive me. I must snip away every risk, to weave the strongest future for the new world.
- Aglaea: There is nothing more to say. We part here. I shall personally dispatch that wretched executioner — not with threads of gold, but with the steel tip of a needle.
- Eternal Recurrence #24581189
- Phainon: Tribbie, look... we made it to the Vortex.
- Phainon: That prophesized future, the flower fields where the west wind ends, Era Nova... we're so close now...
- Phainon: ...
- Phainon: You... can't speak anymore?
- Phainon: Please... allow me to pause just a moment before I keep my promise—
- Phainon: Let me answer your cruel fate by tearing that executioner's heart from the void.
- Eternal Recurrence #67023
- Anaxa: The Vortex of Genesis... The last time I was here, I was returning the Coreflame of "Reason."
- Anaxa: I didn't have the time to observe it in too much detail back then — but a "holy sanctuary" of the Titans? Looks more like their frozen crypt to me.
- Phainon: Well, all the Coreflames do lie here now...
- Phainon: It's my honor to walk the final stretch with a mind such as yours, Professor.
- Anaxa: Oho, getting ahead of ourselves, are we?
- Anaxa: Have you forgotten so quickly? I died for truth long ago. What walks with you now is but a thought in your mind.
- Phainon: Of course... how could I forget that?
- Anaxa: But I'll say the same to you: it's my honor to walk this final stretch with you, too.
- Anaxa: Now go. Stand tall and finish your final task—
- Phainon: Yeah, just leave it to me...
- Anaxa & Phainon: Time for that wretched executioner... to pay what they owe.
- (Talk to Lygus)
- Lygus: Hehe, you really think you're prepared? Allow me to give you a warning most earnest: Once you see what these memories hide...
- Lygus: The world's course... will be forever irreversible.
- Show me the final memory.
- Lygus: Very well. As you have made up your mind, let us bear witness together.
- Lygus: As the sole audience of this eternal theater, I have been rapturously awaiting your arrival. And this too is the very reason I must show you everything.
- Lygus: I believe that, since you've bathed in that Aeon's gaze—
- Lygus: You can make Amphoreus's frozen fate flow once again...
- Not yet.
- Lygus: Very well, I'll be here. Waiting.
Witness the memory's curtain call[]
- (Trailblazer): ...
- Lygus: Feeling a bit lost? As you now see, this scene marks the final act of the drama "Amphoreus"...
- Lygus: The final Eternal Recurrence created by this man's hand, and the last one this world shall undergo.
- Lygus: Behold. At the swordsman's side stands one he has sometimes called companion, other times comrade, that Nameless Hero absent from the annals of history —
- Lygus: (He/
She) is the swordsman's ideal in his youth, the "Deliverer" that guided him resolutely onward through fantasy — And now, in the name of the "Nameless," (he/ she) has become an essential and inseparable part of the epic of Amphoreus. - Lygus: And this time, under (his/
her) guidance, what choice shall the hero make? Whither shall the fate of the world flow? And what is the ultimate truth of the nature of Amphoreus...? - Lygus: There are many mysteries yet to be unwound. But, if I may, allow me to temporarily yield the stage to one far more fitting. Please, put your hands together and give a rousing round of applause for they who will reveal the answers, and bring about the final end of the 33550336th Flame-Chase Journey—
- Lygus: The master of the countless memories we saw, the other important actor now stepping into the Vortex, they who have already burnt their own self to cinder — the Flame Reaver!
- (Cutscene begins)
-
- Phainon: So, in the end, you succeeded...
- Phainon: ...Executioner.
- Phainon and Flame Reaver: With my flesh as kindling...
- Phainon and Flame Reaver: Light the first dawn of the new world.
- (Cutscene ends)
