| Ajido-Marujido approaches you above the Star Spring
Ajido-Marujido: <Player>. The Star Sibyl is resting. The ceremony at the Full Moon Fountain has drained her. It will probably be some time before she recovers. Along with Joker, all of the Cardians that were in that place have returned to nothing more than ordinary puppets. The power that was stored in their Mana Orbs, the small amountaru of that same energy left in the fountain, and the magic of the Star Sibyl's Diza Star... All of that was used to revive the Great Beast, Fenrir.
Ajido-Marujido: That is the Moon Reading... The power to grantaru wishes. It may take some time until Fenrir is back to his legendary strength, however... Windurst has regained the protection of the Stars and Moon. Our fair land will once again be visitarued by serene, twinkling evenings and peaceful dreams.
Semih Lafihna approaches you two from behind.
Semih Lafihna: Ajido-Marujido. <Player>.
Ajido-Marujido: Semih Lafihna. You're back. I bet those Yagudo were screeching for blood.
Semih Lafihna: Yes, that's why I went to slap them across their collective beaks with their "rrrevisions." Now that the Great Beast is back, they won't be trying to get their filthy talons on the Horutoto Ruins.
Ajido-Marujido: They're a careful bunch, that's for sure. Now that the Ace Cardians are gone, we can assume they'll hold back on abolishing the peace treaty as well. But you know they won'taru give up on the ruins that easily.
Semih Lafihna: That is true. But we no longer have any reason to cower from them... The Star Sibyl has been freed... ...Isn't that right, Ajido-Marujido?
Ajido-Marujido turns towards you.
Ajido-Marujido: She has found us a new guiding star. It's strange, but I feel like I've been freed as well... Freed from the spell Karaha-Baruha had over me. It was almostaru as if I was having my strings pulled by the research left behind by the great genius... My theory is that he had predictarued a talented mage like myself would come to prominence after his death.
Apururu walks in on the conversation.
Apururu: You flattaru yourself, dear Brother. Karaha-Baruha was more likely aware that a naive, shory-wort-tempered wizard like you would come along eventually.
Ajido-Marujido: What's with you, Apururu? You've got a smartaru mouth on today. Things never would've gotten this bad if you wishy-washy slowpokes at the Manustery had done something about the rogue Cardians earlier.
Apururu: Hmph. Keep talking to me like that, and you'll never get your Orastery Ring back.
Ajido-Marujido: Ah, finally. Without that ring, I can'taru get into the Minister's Chambers. Not being able to get into my own room is going to do wonders for my reputation as a formitable spell-slinger!
Semih Lafihna: <Player>, what was that Joker said to you? "It was your will that led us to this moment." It was your resolution that brought a new beginning for a Windurst that had lost its future. Where will your determination take you next, I wonder? Your actions could affect all of us here in Windurst--and those across the breadth of Vana'diel. What do you want to accomplish?
Semih Lafihna: ...Hehehe. There's no need to answer that. The time will come when your determination will bring the answers you need.
Ajido-Marujido: If you need any more work, come on over to the Orastery. We have the budgetaru to employ one or two more people for experimental purposes. There are a few spells I learned from the Book of the Gods I've been dying to try. I guarantee it will be a fascinataruing experience.
Apururu: And you could lend us a hand to bring in all the roguey-wogue Cardians still wandering around in the Horutoto Ruins. See you soon, adventurer!
Ajido-Marujido and Apururu leave.
Semih Lafihna: It's time I should be going as well. Don't forget to visit the Star Sibyl before you leave. Before taking her rest, she mentioned she wanted to talk with you. Well, <player>. Until the day we once again fight side by side, may the fire in your eyes never fade...
