  1. NemonYou've done well. Do you see that sleeping Elim over there? He's our path forward.
  2. HadalaBut... what's the connection between the Etheria Rift and the Elim?
  3. NemonOdar's slumber can only be broken by the spirit Ecco's flute.
  4. But that spirit was pulled into the Etheria Rift.
  5. HadalaNo way...
  6. Etheria is a dimension where the spirits reside. After AION fell, the contracts with the spirits were broken, and rifts began appearing soon after.

  1. There are probably more small rifts scattered through this area.
  2. UlgornSo we need to enter that rift and bring Ecco back?
  3. NinirOdar must be awakened, Daeva. For the sake of our ruined home and the future of the Elim.
  4. UlgornHah! No matter how many times I hear Elim speak, it always catches me off guard.
  5. HadalaWe have no idea what you'll find beyond that rift. If it really is a passage into the Spirit Realm... it must be some kind of subspace.
  6. NemonSo the only way to find the Nornir is through Elim Odar's foresight...
  7. UlgornIt's probably not possible to go farther east from here.. is it?
  8. HadalaThe Blades are everywhere. And if we go any further east, we'll get dangerously close to the Balaur base.
  9. NemonWe have to enter the rift. What other choice do we have? Ninir, where can we find it?
  10. NinirDo you see that gate floating over the water to the left?
  11. NanaPlease save Ecco!
  12. NemonThere it is. Wait for me here, I won't be long!
  13. HadalaAbsolutely not! What if something goes wrong? How do we carry on without you?
  14. NemonI'll be fine.
  15. HadalaIt's still a no. We'll wait outside the rift... Why don't you go in, Daeva?
  16. If you don't return soon, we will go in after you.
  17. We're counting on you.
  18. Nemon...Fine. Daeva, but if you take too long, I'm going to have to go in there after you.
  19. Go find that spirit for us.
  20. EccoPhew... I was able to make it out, all thanks to you.
  21. I don't believe we've met before, Daeva.
  22. NinirEcco! Ecco! She's back!
  23. NanaPlay your flute, Ecco!
  24. EccoI'm glad so many Elim are still safe. The forest will recover in time, won't it...?
  25. UlgornHa! Daeva... Is there anything you can't do?
  26. HadalaI'm relieved you made it back safely. It all went well thanks to you, Daeva.
  27. NemonWe need to ask Odar about the Nornir's whereabouts. They say he only responds to the sound of your flute, Ecco.
  28. Ecco...That's correct. Only my flute can awaken him from his slumber.
  29. May I ask you why you are looking for the Nornir? They are friends to me and the Elim.
  30. NemonAnd to me. I need to speak urgently with Urd.
  31. Ecco...All right. Hopefully Odar's foresight can show him where they went.
  32. Listen well. I'll awaken Odar with the Melody of the Forest.
  33. EccoOdar, Odar, wake up.
  34. OdarHa... Haah...
  35. ...I slumbered deeply. The High Priest's rampage... The Daeva attack... Oh, what a terrible dream.
  36. NinirOdar...!
  37. NanaOdar, Odar!
  38. OdarOh... Elim... You're all still here to welcome me.
  39. Why did you wake me, Ecco?
  40. EccoThese Daeva wish to make use of your prophetic abilities.
  41. OdarDaeva?
  42. NemonWe're looking for the Nornir. We had no idea of the situation here until we arrived. Do you know where they went?
  43. OdarArrogant Daeva... Weren't you the ones who burned our forest, our home?
  44. And now you come to me with demands?
  45. EccoOdar. These Daeva here saved me and your fellow Elim.
  46. NinirIt is true.
  47. NanaYes! They helped us! They saved us!
  48. NemonWe did not intend to be impolite, but time is of the essence. We need to find Urd quickly. For everyone's sake.
  49. The Blades that tormented you are our enemies too. I promise we will make them pay for what they've done.
  50. EccoPlease help them to learn where the Nornir went.
  51. Odar...Very well.
  52. Hmm...
  53. Because of these so-called Blood Blades, the Nornir abandoned their home and scattered.
  54. I see they fled to Uruthumheim.
  55. NemonWhat about Urd? Is she still alive?
  56. Odar...Yes...
  57. She is alive... but being pursued.
  58. HadalaUruthumheim is already little more than a ruin. Are the Blades there too?
  59. OdarThe situation is dire, Daeva. I have told you everything I can see.
  60. I shall awaken again once the forest has recovered. Until then... Elim, Ecco... You must protect it...
  61. NinirOdar....
  62. EccoHe has returned to his slumber.
  63. If we gather our strength and pour all our love and effort into it, the forest will recover in time.
  64. NemonThank you Ecco, and Elim. We must hurry to Uruthumheim.
  65. HadalaBefore we do...
  66. I'm sure the place will be overrun with Blades. It's like they're coming up from Morheim.
  67. UlgornRight. The further south we go, the more of them there seem to be.
  68. HadalaBefore proceeding, we need to assess the situation.
  69. EccoThere's something you must do before you leave.
  70. UlgornAnd what is that?
  71. EccoBefore you go, please clean up the area. I'll tell you when we are ready.
