Dialogue
Story Recap
- (Trailblazer): As I bid farewell to Hysilens at the Vortex of Genesis, I noticed something strange about the "Time" Coreflame, and was immediately dragged into the memoria tide of "Oblivion" by "Evernight"... She was once the hidden power that March manifested by sacrificing all of her memories, yet now she harbors other secret intentions in her heart.
- (Trailblazer): Meanwhile, Dan Heng warped back to the Express via a spirit warp jump, only to discover a Memosnatcher invasion. Everyone then realized that the Remembrance's forces had already permeated Amphoreus and blocked outside intervention... To establish contact with me, Dan Heng was determined to return to Amphoreus immediately.
- (Trailblazer): After waking up in the "False Trailblaze," I managed to escape with help from Cyrene and Sunday. Unfortunately, "Evernight" held absolute control, causing me to fall into the memoria tide once again... However, Black Swan took this opportunity to quietly approach "Evernight."
- (Trailblazer): Dan Heng returned to Amphoreus and beckoned the heroic spirit of Phainon with divine blood. The Destruction, descending from the sky, pierced through the Memory Zone and discovered the most hidden corner of the world. In pursuit of "Evernight," Dan Heng arrived at the charred remnants of the Grove of Epiphany.
- (Trailblazer): In the Grove, where memories became disjointed, Dan Heng received help from "Dan Feng" within his memories and completed his farewell to the past. In their final moments, the "Earth" demigod Terravox entrusted all their duty and authority to Dan Heng. With this newfound strength, Dan Heng found me within the memoria tide.
- (Trailblazer): We entered the nameless Titan's great tomb and discovered its secret... across the thirty million cycles of Eternal Recurrence, every incarnation of "Cyrene" had come here, offering herself to the Remembrance. With Black Swan's help, we found "Evernight" in the depths of the great tomb.
- (Trailblazer): When all seemed lost, "Evernight" was captured by March's Camera and trapped within the memory maze of Aedes Elysiae. After several lengthy conversations, March and "Evernight" reached an agreement... "Evernight" returned March's memories, and March finally returned to our side.
- (Trailblazer): With every condition for the Era Nova fulfilled, we returned to the depths of the great tomb and initiated the final Era Nova Ceremony...
Talk to Cyrene at the beginning of the new world
Mission DescriptionA visitor from beyond the sky shoulders the world's destiny, writing a new beginning for Amphoreus through "Trailblaze." Beyond the Aedes Elysiae lies a new era that everyone wishes for.
Now that you have arrived at the Dawn, (Trailblazer), are you ready to answer the world's summon?
- Sequence 01Beyond the curtains of Aedes Elysiae lurked a new world, free from the black tide's torment. Thirty million cycles of Remembrance had changed Cyrene's appearance, and she asked if you're ready to answer the call of the world.
- (Talk to Cyrene)
- Cyrene: This view hasn't changed at all, has it?
- Cyrene: The hometown in your memories never changes, but when you return to your senses, you realize that fate has already stolen the time away.
- Cyrene: Welcome to the trail of "Genesis," (Trailblazer).
Cyrene? You look...
- Cyrene: Seems like the weight of "memories" from thirty million cycles really made me grow up.
- Cyrene: But if I keep growing, I might be taller than you, right, (Trailblazer)? Then I'm really looking forward to that.
- Standing here brings back many memories.
- Cyrene: Me too. Thirty million departures. Thirty million farewells.
- Cyrene: Those heavy "memories" will all become the soil upon which the new world shall bud, and this time... We will make it bloom with a different flower.
- The trail of "Genesis"?
- Cyrene: Indeed. The Scepter's extrapolations have reached their end, but the process of "Genesis" has only just begun.
- Cyrene: The path ahead will no longer rely on emotionless programs. It'll be decided by the will of humankind.
- Cyrene: Before you arrived, I kept wondering... beyond the veil of Aedes Elysiae, what kind of Amphoreus is being born?
- Cyrene: I can see fragments of it when I close my eyes... The friends who walked alongside us have all moved on toward their respective destinies.
- Cyrene: Some turning into pillars of the world, supporting the Sky and the Ocean. Others sowing Reason, laying down the Law, and with gentle hands lifting newborns into the light.
- Cyrene: Death and Strife are no longer feared by people, and Trickery has become the innocent games of children.
- Cyrene: All beings living ordinary and peaceful lives within the net woven by Romance and Passage.
- Cyrene: There's no black tide, no Flame-Chase, and no Destruction. The world on the other side of the sea is one bathed in sunlight.
- It's a world we must protect.
- It's the dawn that Phainon and everyone had wished for.
- Peace will reign until the decisive battle arrives.
- Cyrene: Like a happy and carefree childhood, the "Era Chrysea" in this cycle will last for millennia, until it reaches the moment decided by the prophecy...
- Cyrene: Light Calendar 4931, Month of Freedom, the moment belonging to Worldbearing.
- Cyrene: Are you ready to answer the call of the world, (Trailblazer)?
- Cyrene: Then go, and pen the Throne of Worlds' first stroke... for this world made from countless wishes.
- Sequence 02A message arrived from the Chronocognitive Anchor: Irontomb reacted to Era Nova. March 7th and Dan Heng, now Titans, spoke with you, promising to meet again at the world's end to face Irontomb together.
- ???: You say that, but it's gonna be ages till we reach Light Calendar 4931.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: I can make use of the crevices of Time, but surely (Trailblazer) and Dan Heng won't have to wait around for a few thousand years... right?
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: That won't be necessary. We can simply sleep, and the "Chronocognitive Anchor" will wake us up.
- Veil of Evernight? Pillar of Stone?
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: That's right. We've both become a part of the new world. Just waiting for you now.
- I didn't expect you'd both be here.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: We've both become a part of the new world ages ago. You're the last, slowpoke.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Our consciousnesses can converse with each other across the heavens and the earth, possibly due to the influence of the Trailblaze.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: I am now connected with this Earth, and I can feel the breath of every mountain range...
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: I see that the tallest among them is named "Okhema," and the form of the holy city is already taking shape.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: In other words, your stage is almost set. Do you wanna take a leaf out of Kephale's book and make some prophecies before your nap?
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: But we're not the only ones who have changed.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: The Chronocognitive Anchor just transmitted a message stating that "Irontomb" has reacted to the "Era Nova."
- Cyrene: The moment when (Trailblazer) bore the weight of thirty million cycles of "memories"...
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: ...Was probably also when the Scepter devoured thirty million cycles of Destruction.
- It's bound to happen, and I've long prepared for that.
- We can't wait any longer. We must stop Irontomb.
- It's time to take over the burden that Phainon has been carrying...
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: ...
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Y'know, (Trailblazer)... You don't have to shoulder this world all on your own.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: After someone boards the Express, the word "alone" ceases to exist. So as we reach the end of time, no one will be left to face it alone.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Dan Heng and I came here to specifically tell you that.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: Remember, this is [sic] world is not a burden you bear alone.
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: It's a journey we Trailblaze together, alongside all of the Express.
- I know. Thank you, my good friends.
- No need to remind me. You are always in my mind.
- Seriously, can't you let me be the protagonist for once?
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: There'll be plenty of time for you to show off in the future.
- Cyrene: She meant to say that a hero only turns up at the most pivotal moment.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: Alright, it's time for Dan Heng and me to go have a super long nap. Look after this world for us, (Trailblazer).
- Pillar of Stone, Dan Heng: The road ahead is long, but we'll be waiting for you at the end.
- Veil of Evernight, March 7th: We'll definitely meet again.
- (Trailblazer): ...
- (Trailblazer): (Let's take one more look at the other side of the sea before we set off.)
Head to the dock for one last look at the sea of Aedes Elysiae
- (After previous dialogue)
- (Trailblazer): Aedes Elysiae is so quiet.
- Cyrene: Mmm. Just like how I remember.
- (Trailblazer): Here we are once more.
- Sequence 03You and Cyrene gazed out at the sea, while Phainon waited at the world's end. Before writing the ending, Cyrene must set out with you to confront the "memories" she had long forgotten.
- (Approach the dock)
- (Trailblazer): (The scent of the black tide is now completely calm.)
- (Trailblazer): (At last, the starting point of thirty million cycles... has finally welcomed...)
- Cyrene: ...Its first end.
- Cyrene: And the final end, right?
- Cyrene: I can't hear his voice. There are no flowers there that bloom for him, nor is there a star that is his.
- Cyrene: Phainon... is the only one who didn't reach the new world.
- He gave everything to obtain this momentary peace.
- Trust in him, we'll meet again for sure.
- Phainon awaits us inside the Irontomb.
- Cyrene: Look. The golden light that shone upon the Grove still meanders between heaven and earth, like the prophecies of Amphoreus.
- Cyrene: It has to be a sign he left behind. It points towards the Destruction... and the deepest night.
- Cyrene: Do you still remember what I asked (Trailblazer) at this exact spot the last time we set off?
- Cyrene: "(Trailblazer), are you ready to become a hero?"
- Cyrene: You were still burdened by the weight of Worldbearing back then, still unsure of the role you were meant to play. But now... everyone has already given you the answer.
- Cyrene: The "heroes" of legends were just at the right place at the right time when the world needed a hero.
- Cyrene: Just like how your arrival kick-started Amphoreus's fate once more.
- Cyrene: A person's personality is their destiny.
- Together, we'll all make it to the best possible ending.
- Cyrene: "We." "Best." ...Those are such beautiful words.
- Cyrene: Thank you, (Trailblazer). I was also trying to cheer myself up with what I said.
- Cyrene: After all, before we truly compose the end of this story, I must also pluck up the courage to head off with you...
- Cyrene: ...
- Cyrene: And face...
- Cyrene: A "memory" that I have forgotten for too long... and have denied for too long.
- Sequence 04In the deepest corner of "memory" lies the Great Tomb of the Nameless Titan, the birthplace of Cyrene. The first Nouspore, Demiurge, resides there.
- (Trailblazer): It's so dark. What is this place...?
- Cyrene: The Great Tomb of the nameless Titan. The deepest recesses of "memory."
- Cyrene: Also... the place where "Cyrene" was born.
- Weren't you born in Aedes Elysiae?
- You got your lost memories back?
- Birthplace? What do you mean...?
- Cyrene: My apologies, (Trailblazer). The more memories I got back along the way, the more I felt that something wasn't right.
- Cyrene: There's a sort of anxiety I can't get rid of. It's like when I was back in Aedes Elysiae, when the reflections in the water always made me wonder... which is the real me? The one reflected in the water, or the one standing on the shore?
- Cyrene: But I finally get it now.
- Cyrene: Look, (Trailblazer). The words on that wall are the answer.
- ???: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven"...
- Cyrene: "Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti"...
- Cyrene: That rhymeless tune is the lullaby of little fairies.
- ???: "As always, I'll read this book to you..."
- ???: "That way, it won't just be 'Cyrene's' memories alone."
- Cyrene: I've always thought that I was the narrator of the Flame-Chase Journey.
- Cyrene: But as it turns out, the narrator...
- Cyrene: ...is also the most devoted "audience."
- What do you mean...
- I believe in every version of you.
- Cyrene: Thank you, (Trailblazer). "Every single Cyrene"... That sounds so kind.
- I'm the one who tells the story.
- Cyrene: ...
- Cyrene: That's pretty forward of you, you know? Still... thank you, (Trailblazer). That's very reassuring.
- Cyrene: At the moment of Era Nova, I was enveloped by the texture of "memories." With the glistening crystal, I saw countless "Cyrenes"...
- Cyrene: As well as countless versions of me.
- Cyrene: This is the final puzzle piece of the "memories," (Trailblazer).
- Cyrene: A prison born of the Erudition. A grave annihilated in the Destruction.
- Cyrene: That unknown solitary god, the Thirteenth Titan who should not exist...
- Cyrene: The first Nouspore, the Demiurge... is right here.
- Switching to Himeko's POV...
- The Express Crew is preparing to enter Amphoreus...
