Dialogue
Head to the Vortex of Genesis
- Within Amphoreus, at (Trailblazer)'s private bath chamber...
- Mem: Good thing you're finally up! Or that Giant's light is going to give you a sunburn!
- Dan Heng: They've been this excited for a while now... What did you feed them?
More like they snuck food themself.
- Mem: Hmph, really now? I wouldn't do something like that!
- Mem: Hmm... but come to think of it, I don't remember when the last time I ate something was...
- They don't seem to need food.
- Mem: Says who! I'm still a... a cute and tiny animal, alright!
- Mem: Hmm? But come to think of it... I don't remember when the last time I ate something was...
- Dan Heng: ...Forget it. You can skip the translation. I can somehow tell that none of that chatter's meaningful.
- Dan Heng: It's almost time. The Chrysos Heirs should be finishing up their preparations at the Vortex of Genesis.
- Dan Heng: Let's go witness the Coreflame's return when you're ready.
Wait for Phainon to start the Coreflame's trial
- (Head up the stairs towards the basin)
- Trinnon: "O majesty of the twelve Titans, pillars of the world—"
- Trinnon: "We seek your divinity, to mend the rifts of the world—"
- Trinnon: "Fill our bodies with blood of gold, till we wither in willing service to the prophecy..."
- (Approach the marked location)
- Aglaea: Your guests are here, Phainon. We can begin the ritual now.
- Castorice: Lord Mydei isn't here yet...
- Phainon: It's fine, Miss Castorice. He spoke to me already.
- Phainon: I told him that he should be nursing his wounds, and that he shouldn't be worrying about all this comrade's once-in-a-lifetime ascension ritual stuff.
- Phainon: So, I'm ready to begin.
- Aglaea: Teacher, show him the way forward.
- Trinnon: Despite the myriad dark and endless nights that have gone by, the guidance of the prophecy is nevertheless as clear and bright as the first ray of dawn.
- Trinnon: Overthrow the gods, it declared.
- Trinnon: Restore the Coreflames, it declared.
- Trinnon: Bear the divine authority, it declared.
- Trinnon: Forge miracles, it declared.
- Trinnon: O prophecy, forgive us for this late tribute. We Chrysos Heirs have striven to start the Flame-Chase Journey anew over these myriad nights. The seeds we sowed have finally yielded a good harvest.
- Trinnon: The seventh Coreflame needed for the miracle, that once belonged to the great Lance of Fury, Nikador, shall now be returned by an elected hero of the Chrysos Heirs: an upstanding citizen, a valiant warrior, and a noble soul.
- Trinnon: Please step forward, Phainon of Aedes Elysiae.
- Trinnon: Recite with us:
- Trinnon & Phainon: "O majesty of the twelve Titans, pillars of the world—"
- Trinnon & Phainon: "We seek your divinity, to mend the rifts of the world—"
- Trinnon & Phainon: "Fill our bodies with blood of gold, till we wither in willing service to the prophecy..."
- Trinnon: Surrender the Coreflame, Chrysos Heir.
- Phainon: The Lance of Fury's constellation is illuminated...
- Phainon: Why is the Vortex this silent? Was it also like that in the past?
- Aglaea: Patience, Phainon. Do not make us question this decision.
- Castorice: Lord... Gnaeus?
- Trinnon: I'm afraid he is not the person you know, Castorice. That is a manifestation of the prophecy, an echo of the Titan's divinity. It is here to examine the Titan's successor.
- Divine Echo: (Titan's murmurs)
- Trinnon: "Mortal who wishes to inherit my divine authority..."
- Trinnon: "Your strength and character have been thoroughly tested..."
- Divine Echo: (Titan's murmurs)
- Trinnon: "Yet your will wavers..."
- Trinnon: "If you are to inherit Nikador's relentless fight against the unspeakable black tide..."
- Divine Echo: (Titan's murmurs)
- Trinnon: "You must accept a trial of divinity..."
- Trinnon: "Prove that you possess an indestructible will... And vanquish the fears deep in your heart..."
- Phainon: Vanquish... the fears in my heart?
- Phainon: So be it. No matter what obstacles you plan to put in my way, I'm ready to overcome them.
- Phainon: For our prophesied tomorrow, I will become the god Amphoreus needs.
- Divine Echo: (Titan's murmurs)
- Trinnon: "Come with me, Phainon of Aedes Elysiae..."
- Phainon & Trinnon: "...In fear, you shall abandon your mortal body, and in suffering, be reborn as a god."
- Phainon: Wait for my return, my friends.
- Castorice: Lord Phainon... is gone?
- Aglaea: He has stepped onto the battlefield to fight a campaign that can only be won by him alone.
- Aglaea: All we can do is wait... and have faith.
Chat with the Chrysos Heirs
- Dan Heng: What a... mysterious ritual. Is there really nothing we can do but wait?
- Dan Heng: I don't know about the rest of them, but I don't like to just sit by and wait for my fate to be decided.
- (Talk with Aglaea)
- Aglaea: Phainon steers his own fate.
- Aglaea: If he can conquer his fear and return as a demigod, we will be one step closer to the miracle that the prophecy promised.
- You have a lot of faith in him.
- What if he fails?
- Aglaea: ...That would mean his time hasn't come yet. And that there is a more arduous mission for him to see through.
- Aglaea: You must have noticed by now. Every Chrysos Heir here bears... a flaw of sorts. Be it the curse of immortality, or the constant erosion of their humanity, or...
- Aglaea: But not Phainon. He is a Chrysos Heir without flaw, a perfect vessel for divinity.
- Aglaea: There will come a day when he leads everyone — everyone we have left — through the gates of the miracle.
- (Talk with Aglaea again, optional)
- Aglaea: Phainon steers his own fate.
- Aglaea: There will come a day when he leads everyone — everyone we have left — through the gates of the miracle.
- (Talk with Trinnon, optional)
- Trinnon: Zzz... Zzz...
- Dan Heng: Looks like she fell asleep. Presiding over this ritual must take quite a toll.
- Trinnon: Snowy... zzz... will succeed...
- (Talk with Trinnon again, optional)
- Trinnon: Zzz... Zzz...
- Trinnon: Snowy... zzz... will succeed...
- (Talk with Castorice, optional)
- Castorice: I pray you truly are prepared, Lord Phainon.
- You seem worried.
- Castorice: I spoke at length with Lord Phainon before. There was hesitation in his words.
- You spoke to him?
- Castorice: Yes, there was hesitation in his words.
- Castorice: The manifestation of the prophecy must have seen this. It saw Lord Phainon's heart wavering.
- Castorice: Wherever he is, whatever he is fighting, I pray he makes it through this test.
- (Talk with Castorice again, optional)
- Castorice: Wherever he is, whatever he is fighting, I pray he makes it through this test.
- (After speaking with Aglaea)
- Mydei: Still too late, huh...
- Oops, missed the party...
- Phainon said you weren't coming.
- Mydei: The constellation of the Lance of Fury is already illuminated. That must mean...
- Castorice: The Coreflame has been surrendered, but Lord Phainon's test isn't over yet.
- Castorice: The prophecy sent an ambassador. They acknowledged Lord Phainon's strength and character, but had doubts about his strength of will.
- Castorice: He must conquer his fear and prove himself to the prophecy.
- Mydei: ...I was right to be worried.
- Mydei: I want to formally thank you, outsiders. Were it not for your aid, our campaign against Nikador would have been a hundred times more arduous.
- Isn't it nice to be polite?
- Mydei: Kremnoans revere strength and military might, but that does not mean we lack etiquette.
- Talk is cheap.
- Mydei: You are asking for a reward? Not a problem.
- Mydei: Kremnoans revere strength and military might, but that does not mean we lack etiquette.
- Dan Heng: Mydei, what do you mean when you said you were "worried"?
- Mydei: They don't know yet?
- Mydei: That guy... has always been tormented by his past.
- Mydei: I may not be the right person to tell you about him, but you must know his past if you are to continue fighting alongside Phainon.
- Castorice: Lord Mydei... please allow me.
- Mydei: Hm... Very well.
- Castorice: Before he was chosen by the prophecy, Lord Phainon had everything taken away from him: his home, his family, his close friends... Everything he once swore to protect.
- Castorice: He became a hollowed shell in his youth, and the blazing flames of vengeance were the only thing sustaining him.
- Castorice: The prophecy gave him a new mission, granting him a new life as a Chrysos Heir. But which is more important to him: his new mission or his desire for revenge?
- Castorice: I'm afraid only he knows... No, perhaps he himself is still struggling to get to an answer.
- Mydei: I acknowledge his strength, but... fear is something not even the sharpest of swords can cut through.
- Mydei: I hope you've toughened your resolve, Deliverer...
- Mydei: ...Only a will as tough as stone can shatter the darkest nightmares.
- ???: Hmm...
- Young Phainon: Is something wrong?
- ???: Mmm...?
- Young Phainon: Ugh, don't keep me in suspense. Come on, tell me already. What did you see?
- ???: Haha, I just wanted to get a reaction out of you. Alright, I'll tell you.
- ???: ...This card is the Deliverer.
- Young Phainon: Deliverer...? What does that mean?
- ???: Uh... The interpretation is really long. Maybe I should just skip it.
- ???: All you need to know is, this card means... you'll be a hero worshiped by all! You will protect this world and save lots and lots of people from scary enemies with your sword! Do you like the sound of that?
- Young Phainon: But...
- ???: What's the matter? This is a good card!
- Young Phainon: But I don't want to be everyone's hero! I just want to stay in this village with everyone I know.
- Young Phainon: Grandpa and grandma said the outside world is full of bad people. That's why they're always at war... Who wants to save bad people like them! I can be a hero, but only our village's little hero!
- ???: Haha...
- ???: Well, little hero... If the day comes for us to say goodbye to Aedes Elysiae, could you become a Deliverer then?
- Young Phainon: Do I... have to leave the village?
- ???: Mm-hmm. If something like that happens, someone will have to save the world.
- Young Phainon: Then... Then I'll...
- ???: ...
- ???: Haha, I'm just teasing you. Don't worry. Aedes Elysiae is a peaceful place. Bad people won't reach us here.
- ???: Are you going home already...? If you're not in a hurry, should we go play with the fairies again?
- Young Phainon: Fairies! Okay! I love playing with them! Hmph, I'll win back the wooden sword I lost to them!
- ???: Heehee! Look at how excited that got you. Let's go then.
- ???: May this world never have need for a Deliverer.
- Some system hours ago, aboard the Astral Express...
- Himeko: Pom-Pom, have you prepared our meals already?
- Pom-Pom: Of course, the food's ready! March isn't feeling well, so Pom-Pom has specially prepared the conductor's special bland meal that'll be easy on her stomach.
- Pom-Pom: Can you bring it to her, Himeko?
- Himeko: Gladly. Why don't we also get her a—
- Pom-Pom: Nuh-uh! No coffee when she's already feeling unwell!
- Himeko: Heh... I guess you're right.
- Himeko: March? I'm coming in, okay?
- Himeko: ...!

- (Investigate March 7th's bed on the Astral Express Passenger Cabin, optional)
- Curled up in the clear ice, the young girl remains silent with her eyes fixed shut.
- Although the ice is not cold to the touch, there is something particularly saddening about seeing a young girl who is normally so full of life fall into complete silence.
- A number of thin sheets of ice have shackled the unconscious March 7th to her bed. The once warm bedroom is now permeated with a bitter cold.
- The young girl lays silent and flawless in the ice... Just as she did back when she was drifting through space.
