00:00Ah...
00:30Equilibrium. The universe should be in equilibrium.
00:40The arbiters of the equilibrium are giving you a trial.
00:46For the equilibrium of all worlds, you must demonstrate your strength.
00:52The strong will be given greater opportunities, the weak a chance to breathe.
01:01Passing the trial will prove that your strength has shaken the scales of power.
01:09Worlds will change, and thus, equilibrium.
01:14You will encounter stronger enemies, harder puzzles, and greater rewards.
01:27After equilibrium, you will go on to face yet more trials.
01:41Equilibrium. It is for this that all worlds change.
01:53The world will change the power of the world.
01:55The world will change and the power of the world.
01:59The world will change.
02:02The world will change the power of the world.
02:08Ah, well, now that we're done with that whole situation in the Underworld, we can finally look for the Stellarron.
02:17Ah, but thinking about it, I feel a bit bad about Clara.
02:22We promised her that our talks with Sparok would go peacefully.
02:37That certainly isn't our area of strength.
02:40I didn't mean for you guys to start beating yourselves up over it.
02:45Look on the bright side. Things turned out all right, didn't they?
02:50Now everyone knows that the real problem here is the Stellarron, and they're willing to help us out.
02:56All in all, the mission is going super smoothly.
03:01But we still have a lot left to figure out.
03:03But, for instance...
03:10Exactly.
03:11There must be a reason for this sudden change in her attitude.
03:16And, we still don't have the coordinates and location of the Stellarron.
03:22We still haven't put all of the pieces together.
03:30Dreams?
03:31Oh, I remember you mentioned something about strange dreams before.
03:43All three dreams were the same.
03:45With Kokolia and that other voice.
03:49It would be weird to call it a coincidence.
03:53I'm wondering if these dreams aren't just random.
03:57If there is some meaning behind them.
04:01Maybe you have me because...
04:03Because of the Stellarron inside him?
04:06That's my hunch.
04:08But I have no proof.
04:11Oh, well then that's as good as nothing for now.
04:14So, what should we do when we get back above ground?
04:17After all this talk, we're still back at square one.
04:20We solve a puzzle one piece at a time.
04:24Let's get some rest.
04:26We'll talk to Wildfire tomorrow and get to the bottom of this.
04:30Also, there's still one more key character we haven't talked to yet.
04:35Her connection to Kokolia may be the key to cracking this mystery.
04:43Welcome to the Goethe Grand Hotel.
04:49You're back.
04:51I've heard from Wildfire that you helped resolve that whole situation with Zvarog.
04:56Amazing.
04:57It must have been exhausting.
04:59Please have some food and get a good night's rest.
05:25Over there.
05:27See that?
05:28That used to be the worst street in Rivet Town.
05:30And it's also where I grew up.
05:34My friends and I used to wander their streets thinking about where to find our next meal.
05:39That is, until Chief Oleg got me out and took me to the orphanage.
05:44There, I learned to read and write from Natasha.
05:47At the age of 10, I started to patrol the mines with Oleg.
05:51Occasionally getting into fights with the local thugs.
05:55Oh, that sounds nice.
05:59Nice?
05:59Are you being sarcastic with me?
06:04Oh, sorry.
06:06Life in the underworld is difficult.
06:08I shouldn't be speaking about it so lightly.
06:12You're always so serious.
06:14It really gets on people's nerves sometimes, you know?
06:21What I meant was, I kind of envy you, Zila.
06:28For as long as I can remember, my days have been an endless cycle of studying, etiquette lessons, and training.
06:35Every day, all I hear is, remember who you are, Branya.
06:39This is against the architect's admonishments, Branya.
06:42Ladies shouldn't use such foul language, Branya.
06:48Some may envy this kind of life, but I have felt trapped when every choice and every goal has already
06:57been made for you.
07:01You probably can't imagine how that feels.
07:04No, I can't.
07:06But more importantly, what kind of foul language were you using?
07:13In the name of the architects, I shall stick this spear into your nostril.
07:20Oh, that's it?
07:22Oh, that's nothing.
07:24Looks like I'll have to teach you some underworld slang before you go back.
07:30No.
07:31No, that won't be necessary.
07:35It'll be better than poking people's nostrils, at least.
07:42I never thought that I'd be here having a heart-to-heart with a future guardian.
07:47As a kid, I didn't meet many people who lived in the overworld.
07:51I only heard stories from the grown-ups and feared you were all just a bunch of gold snobs.
07:58I've heard from the Semisilver Maine veterans that before the orders were made to seal off the underworld from the
08:04overworld,
08:05there was no difference between the two places.
08:08Everybody ate the same food, chatted about the same topic, celebrated the same festivals.
08:14Even though times are different now,
08:17things like the joys and sorrows of life, the ties between people,
08:23these precious things must certainly still connect us all.
08:29If there is a way to bridge the gap between the two worlds,
08:32we can definitely go back to the time when you and I were not divided.
08:36When we could stand side by side against the Eternal Freeze and the Fragmentum.
08:44I'm not like you.
08:46I don't have that many grand plans for the future.
08:50But if that's the future you want, I'm willing to build this bridge with you.
08:55Thank you, Xila.
08:57Your trust is very important to me.
09:02Speaking of which, what are you going to do next?
09:06What Svarag revealed must have made quite an impact, huh?
09:12Yes.
09:13I thought I was prepared for anything, but...
09:17As long as I am the Guardian's successor,
09:20those truths will come out sooner or later.
09:24Why does my mother hide it from me?
09:26And why does she want me to hunt down the outsiders
09:29who know about the nature of the Stellarron?
09:31It just...
09:33It doesn't make sense.
09:35I thought it over.
09:36There's only one thing I can do.
09:39Go ask her directly.
09:44You...
09:44Hold on.
09:45You're not really going.
09:47Are you...
09:48Alone?
09:49You can't.
09:51This plan is...
09:52I've already thought it through, Xila.
09:55I am Madame Kokolia's daughter.
09:57That will never change.
10:00Be it my duties as her heir or as a silvermane guard,
10:03I must face my problems head-on.
10:08Even if...
10:11Branya...
10:13This is for you, Xila.
10:15Please help me pass it on to the outsiders.
10:19If...
10:21If I am unable to see you again...
10:24They'll know what to do.
10:27Okay.
10:28I understand.
10:29You've made up your mind,
10:31and there's nothing I can say that will change it.
10:34But...
10:34Remember this.
10:36If you run into trouble,
10:37I will come to save you,
10:39no matter what.
10:40Then I'll be waiting for you.
10:46So...
10:47Did you come to this spot when you were a child?
10:50Of course.
10:51I just didn't appreciate how nice it was at the time.
10:56Very nice.
11:08That was a good sleep.
11:12I just...
11:42It's still early.
11:43Where to now?
11:48Took you long enough, sleepyhead.
11:51We've been waiting all day.
11:52I've noticed that our sleep routines don't match up.
11:56You either keep getting up in the middle of the night
11:59or snoozing away until the day's almost out.
12:02Unacceptable.
12:03You gotta work on your teamwork.
12:05Hmm.
12:07Did you have a dream again last night?
12:14So that's why you slept for so long.
12:17Well then.
12:18Let's go find Wildfire to discuss her next move
12:21and see if they have any new discoveries.
12:24Let's go!
12:25I can't wait to finally get back above ground!
12:44Oh, look who's here.
12:46It's the Bane of Svarag,
12:48the big hero of the underworld.
12:51And the other big heroes,
12:54Dan Hung and March 7.
12:56Were those lines rehearsed?
12:58Where's Natasha?
13:00Is she here?
13:02She has a bunch of other things to attend to.
13:05So I hope you don't mind talking to this
13:07old man instead.
13:09I speak on behalf of Natasha.
13:12By the way,
13:13sorry for keeping that whole thing
13:14about her being the actual leader of Wildfire a secret.
13:28I'm glad you don't mind.
13:30Natasha is always cautious.
13:32But she has no ill intent,
13:34as you surely have noticed.
13:36She told me to make sure you return to the overworld safely.
13:39I gave it some thought,
13:41and I think the safest way is to ask this fellow for help.
13:45I brought you down.
13:47Natasha, I can take you back up.
13:48Free of charge.
13:50Satisfaction guaranteed.
13:52There's no need to knock us out this time, right?
13:56Of course not.
13:57This time,
13:58we'll go back through the furnace core.
14:09That would be problematic and dangerous.
14:13Trust me,
14:14we should go through the furnace core.
14:17Enough chatter.
14:18Just be a good guide.
14:23Hold on.
14:24What about Braunya?
14:26Why isn't she here?
14:28She already went back.
14:29As you know,
14:30she has some things to settle with the Supreme Guardian.
14:34What?
14:34She just ditched us and went back?
14:37How could you let her?
14:45Exactly.
14:46She has a lot of responsibilities.
14:48I don't completely understand,
14:51but I trust that she's trying to solve the problem.
14:55Oh, right.
14:57Braunya told me to give you this.
15:00She left us a letter.
15:03Could this be one of those
15:05open-in-case-of-emergency letters?
15:08I've never gotten one of those before.
15:10Should we wait until we run into something dangerous?
15:14Stop overthinking and just open it.
15:32Brother and sister Landau.
15:34I know the brother must refer to Jepard,
15:38but who could the sister be?
15:41Oh, Sir Val.
15:43So she's Jepard's older sister.
15:53Hey, stay on track.
15:55Sambo,
15:57do you know the Landau siblings?
15:59Landau?
16:00Uh, yeah,
16:01we're all friends.
16:02I've mostly dealt with the younger brother in the past,
16:04but the sister?
16:06She's much scarier.
16:08Today's supposed to be a day of celebration,
16:10so let's not talk about it right now.
16:12We can set out at any time.
16:13Just come find me when you're ready.
16:15We can set out at any time.
16:22We can set out at any time.
