Script	Video
Chains of Promathia Wolfgang: Listen up, adventurers! You are to keep clear of Delkfutt's Tower! That's an order! Chapter 1: Ancient Flames Beckon ???: The northern line... The flow of energy has begun to reverse! ???: That's impossible! Bahamut: Children of Vana'diel, I, Bahamut, ruler of the skies, have come to deliver you a warning! Bahamut: The time has come... The arrival of the Keeper of the Apocalypse is near! Bahamut: Come forth, my minions! Let the blood of the gods spill forth on the soil of their creation. Crooked Arrow: Why do we have to wait out here? What do they think we are, door boys? It's like they don't trust us... Wolfgang: Quiet, soldier. You were ordered to stand by, not whine like a child. Crooked Arrow: Sir, yes sir! Wolfgang: But what really is going on in there...? Why did the society call for our assistance...? Wolfgang: Crooked Arrow! Men! Ready your weapons and fall in! Neraf-Najiruf: Captain! The door... Wolfgang: Follow me and keep on guard! Wolfgang: What the...!? Wolfgang: What the hell happened here...? Are there any survivors? Pherimociel: Captain! Wolfgang: What is it, soldier? Pherimociel: I've found someone. He's...he's just a boy. Wolfgang: He's still breathing. If we can revive him, he might be able to tell us what on Vana'diel happened here. Pherimociel: What are your orders, sir? Wolfgang: Get me Monber... Someone call the infirmary!
The Rites of Life (pt.1) - Upper Jeuno
Wolfgang: How is he doing? Monberaux: Well, there don't seem to be any external wounds. To tell you the truth, I don't exactly know what is wrong with him. Wolfgang: You don't exactly know? So you have some sort of theory? Monberaux: ... I'm sorry, but I'm not inclined to speak of a patient's condition. Not even to the captain of the Ducal Guard. Wolfgang: As you wish. But that boy is an important witness. When he comes to, he will be taken in for questioning. Has he shown any signs of consciousness? Monberaux: I'm afraid not... Monberaux: Wolfgang, what really happened back in that room? What was that device, and what were Jeuno's scientists trying to do with it? You know something, don't you? Wolfgang: You need not worry yourself with the affairs of the duchy. Monberaux: I see... I suppose some things are better left unknown. I often ponder over whether to inform a patient when their disease is incurable. However, if there still remains even a thread of hope to cure that disease... Wolfgang: If you are trying to say that Jeuno is ill, you are quite mistaken. Monberaux: <Sigh> Let me rephrase my question. Monberaux: Friend to friend, what simply happened that day? Wolfgang: I... I truly do not know. That is why it is crucial we question that boy. Wolfgang: If there is nothing wrong with him, then there is no reason why we cannot move him to the Grand Duke Palace immediately. Monberaux, make the preparations for his transport.
The Rites of Life (pt.2) - Upper Jeuno
Monberaux: Ah, it's you... As much as I'd like to sit and chat about your adventures over a nice pot of San d'Orian tea, now is not quite the time. Monberaux: Wait. Perhaps you know something of what took place near the Sea of Shu'Meyo. Recently I have been hearing some strange rumors... Leillaine: Doctor Monberaux, there is much commotion outside the infirmary. Do you think the Ducal Guards have returned? Monberaux: Those selfish bastards! Do they think of nothing but their own gain? Monberaux: I apologize, but there is something I must first take care of. Nag'molada: And we cannot get any answers without the boy awake and in custody! Hand him over! That is an order! Monberaux: You can order me all you wish, but I will not allow you to wake that boy! Wolfgang: Men, you have your orders. Monberaux: Wait, Wolfgang! What are you planning on doing to him!? I won't allow you to manhandle my patients like this! Wolfgang: What is going on!? ...!? Crooked Arrow: He... He just vanished! Wolfgang: Don't just stand there! Seal off the area! I don't want any man, woman, dog, or cat leaving Upper Jeuno. That boy can't hide for long. Nag'molada: I've seen that child somewhere before... Monberaux: I don't understand. No signs of consciousness for hours, and then he just wakes up and runs off... There must be an explanation for this... Monberaux: I'm sorry you had to witness that exchange. I'd like better to inform you of what just happened, but even I'm puzzled by the events that have transpired today. Monberaux: Are you all right? You look slightly pale. Monberaux: Well, I hope it is nothing serious. Monberaux: That amulet you hold. It belongs to the boy, does it not? What's this? You say he gave it to you? Monberaux: I suggest that you hold on to it. It may give us some clues as to what is really going on. It also may... Monberaux: ...Never mind. Monberaux: Perhaps I should begin my rounds in the Ru'Lude Gardens. I may be able to collect some valuable information. I've a feeling the situation up there may be even tenser then it is here...
