Zubaba: You think that being late affects only you, my dear? Did you ever think of those who have to wait for you? Hmm? Zubaba: And what of the people who have to wait for the people who are waiting for you? You see, your lack of punctuality creates problems for all of Vana'Diel! Zubaba: Are you paying attention, young man/lady? Very well. Let me tell you why I have summoned you here. Zubaba: I have heard of your exploits from the young lady in the Clerical Chamber. Zubaba: What we ladies-in-waiting need right now is an adventurer of good standing. Zubaba: My request concerns...the Star Sibyl. Zubaba: From generation to generation to generation to generation, the Star Sibyls inherit a mysterious ability to read the future from the stars that appear in the Star Spring. Zubaba: The first time that a new Star Sibyl uses this power is during her inauguration on a day we call the Starway Solstice. Zubaba: But during the Star Reading ceremony on her inauguration, the Sibyl learned of a terrible calamity that would befall all Windurst. Zubaba: You are aware of the Great War that occurred twenty-wenty years ago, are you not? Zubaba: The Star Sibyl had a vision of the war before it began. Zubaba: She collapsed after beholding that vision, and remained speechless, shivering in her bed, for days. Zubaba: All we ladies-in-waiting could do was kneel by her side and pray for her quick-wick recovery. Zubaba: ...And now history is repeating itself. Zubaba: Ever since Ajido-Marujido brought that blank copy of the Book of the Gods here, the Star Sibyl has been gazing into the Star Spring every night. And then last night... Zubaba: However, before she collapsed, she received some sort of sign from the stars. Zubaba: It was a sign that revealed that something malevolent was stirring in the central tower of the Horutoto Ruins. Zubaba: The same central tower that has been sealed since the end of the Great War. Zubaba: What is down there, you ask? Well, part of the talisman that seals Castle Zvahl and... Zubaba: Hold out your hand. This is a charm that will allow you to enter that room. Zubaba: Keep it safe, for this charm is exceedingly important. If it were to fall into the wrong hands... Zubaba: Now, be off with you. The sooner you come back with good news, the sooner the Star Sibyl will recover. |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Written in the Stars - Inner Horutoto Ruins |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |Your charm of light disappears in a flash of light. King of Batons: Do not come any closer! King of Wands: Go back from where you came! Ajido-Marujido: Hey... Are you okay? Ajido-Marujido: You seem to be all rightaru... Ajido-Marujido: The Cardians here are very different from the Cardians in town. Ajido-Marujido: You’ll be sorry if you carelessly go anywhere near these guys. Ajido-Marujido: You see, these are my old man’s most powerful creations. The ones he practically worked himself to death over. Ajido-Marujido: (But, seeing as these Cardians are still up and running about, it must mean that my old man is still alive somewhere...) Ajido-Marujido: Anyway, what the devil-wevil are you doing in this room? Ajido-Marujido: These guys are protectaruing a part of the talisman that seals away the Shadow Lord...and that’s no ordinary seal! Only the ministers of the five ministries are allowed to enter this room! Ajido-Marujido: What’s that you say...? The great Star Sibyl has collapsed? What terrifying portent did she see in the stars, then...? Ajido-Marujido: What in the stars is going on? I had better go check with my own eyes. Better head down to Full Moon Fountain... |}
