FFBE Script part 157: The Four Winds
Previously...
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- THE FOUR WINDS -- SYLPH'S CAVERN 1
(The party is walking along, but comes to a stop a a voice cries out.)
???: Sister! Oh, Sister!
(The party all react with a ! except for Fina, and look around.)
???: There are humans! The humans have come!
Fina: ...There's more than one of them.
Sakura: Even among the sprites of the world, there are only four who are said to control the winds. Four sisters.
Nichol: I've heard legends that each personifies the qualities of the four winds: east, west, north, and south.
???: Shall we drive them away?
(A white light flashes!)
???: Leave them. Let them be trapped in the cave's winds. Such a death is fitting for them!
(Jake sweats a single drop.)
Jake: Not exactly a gentle spring breeze, huh?
Nichol: They were living in peace when all of a sudden this disaster with the crystals popped up.
Rain: They're powerful espers, though, right? Maybe if we talk to them about what's going on, they'll help us out.
(Rain runs off.)
Lid: Oh! Hold on! We probably shouldn't just burst in on... them... ....and he's gone.
Lasswell: That's just the kind of man he is. I imagine everyone understands that by now.
(The party follows after Rain.)
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- THE FOUR WINDS -- SYLPH'S CAVERN 2
Lasswell: I thought the fairies all died off a long time ago.
Sakura: They're still around today, though not as friendly as dwarves, you see. They love mischief, and rarely let themselves be seen.
Lasswell: C-could it be... When I was a kid, that thing I was hiding...
Rain: Ah, if you're talking about your candy, that was me. I ate it. My mom laughed at me. She thought it was very fairy-like.
Lasswell: Rain! How dare you, on my... ...N-never mind.
Jake: Ha ha ha. Even Lasswell used to like sweets, I see.
(Wave 1 of battle commences against wind enemies.)
Nichol: But fairies are no different from dwarves and elves... if they're similar to humans, then why can they transform into espers?
Sakura: I'm not really sure of how they came to be used as espers. But since coming here and investigating myself... I have concluded that their birthplace and the espers' are different.
Lid: You mean... There could even be an esper which was once a human?
Rain: Given what we know now, yes... I'd rather not think about it, though.
(Wave 2 of battle commences, against fodder.)
Sakura: Like visions, espers were also one of Hess's trump cards. However their birthplace was kept in absolute secrecy by Hess.
Lasswell: Now that you mention it, even Golem was man-made.
Fina: Bahamut is a dragon smarter than any human alive...
Jake: So, you're talking about collecting strong allies?
Nichol: If so, then fairies surely are no exception.
Rain: ...Espers serve an oath. They are bound by it.
Jake: Now, then, doesn't matter, war is still pointless.
(Wave 3 of battle commences, against a pair of avian monsters. There is no dialogue afterward.)
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- THE FOUR WINDS -- HEAVENSWIND 1
(The party approaches Tetra Sylphid.)
Tetra Sylphid: Sister! They really came! What should we do? Should we blow them away?
Rain: Wait, please. Will you at least listen to what we have to say?
Tetra Sylphid: We have no time for humans. Is it not enough that you have ruined our home for us? Are you still not satisfied?
Tetra Sylphid: That's right! Get out!
(Lid grumbles.)
Lid: Ugh... When they all talk at once like that, my head feels like it might explode!
Sakura: The sprites always were a busy people, flitting around here and there. The sprites' village didn't used to be like this, though.
Tetra Sylphid: All you people ever do is tear us away from our home... And send us out into the battlefield... Using us for hateful warmongering... This time we'll show you how much we hate it! Fly!
Lasswell: They're coming! Be ready for them!
(The party readies their weapons. Battle occurs! Afterward..)
Tetra Sylphid: We lost... Are we going to end up tools of war again?
Rain: We fight to put an end to the fighting.
Tetra Sylphid: As if humans would ever stop waging war...
Tetra Sylphid: That's right. All they do is drag others into war.
Lasswell: It is true that we are foolish creatures who cannot stop fighting. But... this fight that we face now is only to protect many, many lives.
Nichol: And not only human lives. This is a battle for the future of all creatures living in this world.
Lid: You aren't our tools. We won't make you do something you hate.
Fina: That's right. But if you all agree... we would like you to fight beside us as allies.
Tetra Sylphid: What do you think, Sister?
Tetra Sylphid: We are espers now. If we are defeated in battle, we have no choice but to enter the covenant. But... If we could be real allies...
Rain: We can.
(He gives a thumbs-up.)
Rain: We can get to know one another by talking, just like this.
Tetra Sylphid: I wonder if we can really believe that? I suppose we will find out once we go with you. Let's see you prove yourselves true.
Rain: We will. Don't you worry!
(There is a flash of white light, and the espers turn to stone. The esper Tetra Sylphid has joined the party!)
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- THE FOUR WINDS -- HEAVENSWIND 2
(The party approaches Tetra Sylphid's statue, which turns flesh once more as they near.)
Tetra Sylphid: My body feels somehow strange. It's a feeling that i don't remember from when we were sprites.
Lasswell: It must be the evolution that espers experience.
Fina: It's the power that has been born from our bonds as we have fought together.
Sakura: If you want to fully unleash it, you'll have to fight us.
Nichol: If we can prove our strength once again, our espers are able to awaken even greater power.
Tetra Sylphid: I see. Then that seems simple enough. Let's see if you're strong enough to make us evolve!
(The party readies for battle. Tetra Sylphid attacks! Afterwards...)
Jake(♥): How do you feel? My sweet sprites?
Tetra Sylphid: You would still call us sprites? Ever since we were made into espers by those who wanted to use our strength for themselves, we have been shunned by our own kind.
Tetra Sylphid: That is why we have hated humans so...
Tetra Sylphid: We had no one to understand us. No one except for each other. But things have changed. Now we have allies like you all. I hope we can continue to help you in our evolved form as well.
(There is a flash of white light as the esper turns to stone once more. The esper Tetra Sylphid evolved!)
Nichol: They seem a lot more open than when we first met them, don't they?
Sakura: The sprites used to always be a happy, free-spirited race. They are probably glad to have allies once again.
LAND OF THE CRYSTALS -- THE FOUR WINDS -- HEAVENSWIND 3
(The party approaches Tetra Sylphid's statue, which turns to flesh once more.)
Tetra Sylphid: I-it hurts... Help me, Sister!
Tetra Sylphid: What is happening to us!?
Tetra Sylphid: Is this another curse of being an esper!?
Sakura: It must be... an awakening. You've become unable to control power you did not even know you had.
Tetra Sylphid: Get back! At this rate...
Tetra Sylphid: We'll destroy every last one of you!
Lasswell: We will not leave you.
Nichol: We have formed a covenant with you to borrow your power, and we will see that deal to the very end.
Jake: Go ahead and bring it! We got this!
Tetra Sylphid: We... We cannot hold back any longer!
(The party readies for battle, and Tetra Sylphid attacks! Afterward...)
Tetra Sylphid: Huh...? Sister... the pain is gone.
Tetra Sylphid: My body... feels so light. And.. I can feel power overflowing...
Fina: That's your true power. It's been sleeping inside you this whole time.
Tetra Sylphid: Have we harmed you?
Lasswell: I admit, it was quite the struggle. But it's done with now.
Nichol: And now, you can lend us your full strength.
Tetra Sylphid: I see... If we are able to help our friends, perhaps being espers isn't so bad after all.
Tetra Sylphid: Thank you. We are at your service.
(There is a flash of light as the espers turn to stone once more. The esper Tetra Sylphid awakened!)
Lid: We should be the ones thanking you. Thanks for always being there for us.
