Quest 425/Script

Before quest

[The Player and Chirithy run down the waterway and find Ava waiting for them.] "Master Ava...!?" [Ava walks forward.] "You're The Player." [The Player nods.] "Why are you here?" [The Player asks about Ephemer.] "Ephemer? Yes, I know him, but you still haven't answered my question." [The Player explains that they believe Ava is a lead to Ephemer.] "You came to find me because of some rumor?" [The Player shrugs.] "You had a dream?" [The Player nods and explains.] "I see. Ephemer said he was waiting for you here in your dream, but this place is restricted." [Ava walks past The Player, surprising them.] "So you thought that he may have gotten caught up in the problems that we foretellers have been having lately. And because someone saw us talking the other day," [Ava turns.] "you thought that maybe I had something to do with it." [The Player shrugs.] "You're honest. I like you. You're not too far off base, but I can't tell you much else right now." [Ava summons her Keyblade.] "Master Ava!?" [Ava moves into a battle stance as Chirithy hops behind The Player.] "Show me what you can do."

After quest

[The Player is knocked to the ground and Ava sheathes her blade.] "Not bad. I see a lot of potential in you. But I also see sadness in your heart. Hanging on to it will eventually lead to darkness. You need to somehow let it go." [Ava walks over to The Player and gestures to Chirity.] "With this little one helping you, you'll be fine. Now, go home. And I'm sorry, but this area is strictly off-limits, all right?" [The Player gets up and nods, then leaves with Chirithy as Ava watches them leave.] "So it's you. You're the friend he told me about..." [The Player dreams of Ephemer investigating the waterway.] "Sorry, The Player..." [Ephemer turns to explore the waterway, but hears a noise and doubles back.] "Who is it?" [The Master of Masters steps forward, cloaked in shadows.] "You...!?" [The Player is sleeping in their bed as Chirithy watches from the windowsill.] "That was one doozy of a day. Betcha didn't think you'd end up having to fight a foreteller." [An unseen speaker is heard.] "I'm sorry. But it wasn't fun for me either, you know." [Chirithy looks up and sees Ava, sitting on the next windowsill, and she hops down.] "Master Ava! What are you doing here?" [Ava shrugs.] "Please, call me "Ava." Did you show him the dream of Ephemer?" "No. That wasn't me." [Ava tilts her head in thought.] "Then perhaps it was Ephemer himself." [Chirithy jumps.] "Huh? How is that possible?" "Ephemer's getting very close to the truth." [Ava steps forward to look at The Player.] "He's fallen into an unchained state and now finds himself in a different realm. From that realm, I believe he tried reaching out to him." [Ava leans over and touches The Player's forehead. "If they connected, even in a dream, that means he's getting closer to that realm too." [Ava stands.] "Whether he continues down that path is up to his own heart." [Ava turns away.] "Chirithy, you have to protect The Player from the nightmares, so the wind can carry him far away from here." [Ava walks away and vanishes as Chirithy watches.] "Me...?"
