Quest dialogue

81 lines of in-game dialogue from Until I Hold You Again. Main speakers: Reda, Caelid, and Phernos.

  1. PhernosDaeva, Caelid wants to see you.
  2. PhernosI thought we were done here. Why did you convene everyone again, Caelid?
  3. CaelidWe did what we needed to at Ardus Shrine, so... ought we not return the bracelet to the High Priestess?
  4. PhernosThat situation has been dealt with. There is nothing further for us to do.
  5. CaelidDo you really want to end it there? What happened with the high priestess... Was that just another task to check off the list for you?
  6. PhernosIs this some misplaced sense of justice? Regret? Instead of pitying Reda, you would do better to prepare for your journey to Eltnen.

  1. CaelidYes, yes, I know. There are more important things to deal with.
  2. But she was your comrade for a long time. The least you could do is allow her to keep what little she has left.
  3. NaniaI agree. If we don't need the bracelet anymore... I'd like to return it to the high priestess.
  4. PhernosYou are too stubborn. Do as you wish, the bracelet is of no use to me now anyway.
  5. ...Or perhaps, we may use the bracelet to bind Reda to us. We need someone to keep watch over Ardus Shrine after we leave for Eltnen after all.
  6. NaniaYou truly are...
  7. PhernosFetch the bracelet from the Table of Testament. All it did was use the power of illusion to dispel the barrier, so it should still be intact.
  8. PhernosHmm... its power is almost drained. I can hardly even sense the illusion aura anymore.
  9. NaniaWill that be okay?
  10. PhernosThe energy inside has vanished. Put simply, it is an empty shell now.
  11. NaniaWith only the shell remaining, there is no point... Would there be a way to restore it?
  12. PhernosSince it was an illusion relic, it should still function as a vessel. If we can imbue it with the power of illusion, we should be able to restore it to some extent.
  13. CaelidI'd like to, if that's possible.
  14. PhernosA place nearby was once used as a penitence hall by priests of the Illusion God. Since they endured great hardships there, many lingering spirits and the power of illusion remain.
  15. By absorbing their thoughts, the bracelet will regain its power.
  16. CaelidThat would make a fitting final gift for the high priestess.
  17. NaniaDaeva, can you do that? Let's get that bracelet restored and return it to her.
  18. PhernosReturn once you have restored the bracelet and I will inspect it.
  19. Forgotten Faithful's ApparitionThis is the Illusion Bracelet. It is the most divine relic containing the key to the core.
  20. The key proves to be useless now, but a faint energy still lingers.
  21. This altar is steeped in the breath of those who once knelt in repentance. It's where unspoken prayers now linger as apparitions.
  22. The remaining minds shall recover the power of the bracelet once more.
  23. But be wary.
  24. Some could not endure the agony of repentance and became wraiths. Souls who have forgotten even their pain.
  25. Absorbed an apparition of a forgotten believer. Find the next and absorb it as well.
  26. The door to the next chamber opened upon absorbing the final apparition.
  27. Furious High Priestess's ApparitionRepent through your suffering!
  28. Furious High Priestess's ApparitionOnly though pain can you atone for your sins!
  29. Furious High Priestess's ApparitionI'll carve your sins even deeper!
  30. Furious High Priestess's ApparitionPlease... forgive my sins with this pain...
  31. Feel the weight of your sins.
  32. CaelidSo? Were you able to absorb the power of illusion?
  33. NaniaCan we give it back to the high priestess now? What really matters to her are the memories with Teina that it contains.
  34. PhernosThough faint, there is indeed an illusion aura within. I came this far owing to my past with Reda, but... my task ends here.
  35. The rest is up to you.
  36. CaelidVery well. Let's meet in front of the Illusion Hideout.
  37. CaelidShe may not welcome us, but we still have to deliver this bracelet.
  38. RedaWhat business do you have left here? Do you not have the key to the Core? Are you here to laugh in my face?
  39. CaelidYou misunderstand. About Teina... You have our deepest condolences.
  40. RedaCondolences? That's all you have to offer?
  41. NaniaWe know we can't undo what happened. That's why we came to at least return the last connection you have with her.
  42. This bracelet is important to you. We imbued it with the power of illusion again. You should take it, although it won't be the same.
  43. RedaThe power of illusion... Yes, it's warm, just like when she wore it...
  44. CaelidHigh Priestess...
  45. RedaBefore he crossed the Bulwark, Akarios told me...
  46. As high priestess, I must never leave Verteron. To protect the Core.
  47. I believed him... I thought that if I stayed put, the world would be just a little safer.
  48. So I waited. I believed he'd return someday.
  49. As I waited, the relationship between Teina and I grew strained. We fought, we gave up on each other... We steadily grew further and further apart.
  50. She was furious, saying that doing nothing was a sin in its own right. She said she'd solve things herself... and that's how...
  51. She was right. I... did nothing. what happened to her is all my fault.
  52. Why did I ignore her words, that look in her eyes? If I'd just held her hand even once...
  53. ...That bracelet, would you give it back to Teina? She was very fond of it...
  54. Even if no more than a shell remains, if I can do something that would make her happy...
  55. RedaT-Teina, is that you...? Come here... Into your mother's arms...
  56. Teina's Sad ApparitionWhy didn't I say anything that day?
  57. I knew you were just trying to protect me...
  58. Teina's Sad ApparitionI blamed you often, but I never hated you.
  59. I'm sorry for hurting you.
  60. Teina's Delightful ApparitionI know how much you loved me, Mother.
  61. You were trying to keep me safe.
  62. I hate seeing you sad.
  63. RedaOh, Teina. Every waking moment without you is agony.
  64. I... I don't even know who I am anymore. Without you, I'm completely lost.
  65. Teina's Dazzling ApparitionYou did what you could to protect what was precious. For that, I'm proud of you.
  66. RedaBut now, I have nothing left... Teina!
  67. Teina's Dazzling ApparitionYou're crying, Mother.
  68. I hope you can be happy again. I'll pray you are freed from sorrow.
  69. CaelidI... can still hear her sobbing...
  70. NaniaThe high priestess was able to talk with Teina one last time. Not an illusion, but the real Teina.
  71. CaelidPerhaps now, she can begin to move on. She has been holding on to her grief for far too long.
  72. NaniaI hope she can recover some day.
  73. CaelidThey say memories fade with time, but... some only grow clearer.
  74. In the end, if she continues on and believes what Teina said, she might learn to let her go.
  75. It was the right choice to return the bracelet. Thank you both for your help, Daeva.
