Dialogue[edit]
- After finishing Full Circle
- Aurene: Champion, it's been too long. I've been...resting.
- Aurene: Could you meet me? The sunset over Seitung Harbor is exquisite, and I could use the company.
- Aurene: It's been quite taxing, learning to filter the magics of the world.
- Aurene: If Seitung Harbor is too far from where you are, I've left you a portal at the Eye of the North that will bring you to me.
- Entering the instance and approaching Aurene
- Caithe: Commander, what are you doing here?
- <Character name>: Aurene asked me to come.
- Caithe: Ah, yes. I had a feeling... I'd hoped that we'd have more time.
- Caithe: They grow up so quickly. Don't they?
- Aurene: I'm glad I was able to see you again. Both of you.
- <Character name>: Again? Are you going somewhere?
- Aurene: ...
- <Character name>: I see.
- Aurene: Ever since Soo-Won left us, I've had to learn how to filter the magic of Tyria on my own.
- Aurene: The weight of it all has yet to settle...even if it gets a little easier each day.
- Aurene: I think I need to rest while my body adjusts.
- Caithe: You should have told us. We could have helped you!
- Aurene: No, you couldn't, and that's okay. This is my trial. This is my burden now.
- Caithe: Where are you going to go?
- Aurene: I don't know. I won't be far, but somewhere...quiet. Someplace I can process.
- Caithe: What will we do...without you?
- Aurene: You will live on, my friend. Tyria can thrive and progress without the fear of devastation.
- Aurene: The dragon cycle ended with Soo-Won. Enjoy this time. Breathe. For me.
- Caithe: (deep breath)
- Aurene: My champion. How you've protected me these many years.
- Aurene: Asking a favor of you may seem selfish, but...
- <Character name>: What do you need, my friend?
- Aurene: Watch over this place while I'm gone. Watch over our friends.
- <Character name>: Of course.
- Aurene: You are a living flicker of hope. Let the world see all that you are, my champion.
- Aurene: Now, how can we be so somber with a view like this? Sit with me for a moment, will you?
- Talking to Aurene
- Aurene: Champion, I'm sure you have additional questions. Please, ask me whatever's on your mind.
When are you leaving?
- Aurene: Soon, Champion. I feel the pull of my function calling me to my rest.
- Aurene: It slips into me like a rush of warmth traveling through my entire body.
- <Character name>: It sounds...peaceful.
- Aurene: More than you know.
- How long will you be gone?
- Aurene: I'm not certain.
- Aurene: But with the world's magic in balance...I can only guess.
- Aurene: When the other Elder Dragons had fulfilled their roles, they slept for millennia.
- <Character name>: I hope it's not that long!
- Aurene: As do I. I would very much like to see you again.
- Can you see what's coming?
- Aurene: No. My sight...I believe it was tied to the dragon cycle.
- Aurene: It's different than before. Then, there was a void, and I couldn't see past it.
- Aurene: Now, there's just...nothing. It would seem I'm as blind to the future as you, Champion.
- <Character name>: Does that bother you?
- Aurene: The opposite. Our path is our own.
I don't have any other questions.
- Talking to Caithe
- Caithe: I'm still processing, but I have a moment if you have questions for me.
- How are you feeling about this?
- Caithe: Sad, of course, but also proud. I will miss her more than I can say.
- Caithe: But we've both known this was coming for some time now. We'll do our best to live up to her trust in us.
- <Character name>: I'm sure we will.
- What are you going to do now?
- Caithe: I...I don't know. I will need some time to think about my responsibilities as leader of the Crystal Bloom.
- Caithe: I've thought about returning home...to the Pale Tree.
- Caithe: But even if I wanted to go back, I don't know if I could.
- <Character name>: I'm here if you need me.
- How do you think the Crystal Bloom will take this news?
- Caithe: Most would likely volunteer to watch over Aurene as she rests.
- Caithe: Though given the current landscape, I don't see anything that could threaten our sweet Aurene.
- <Character name>: I'm confident you'll help them find their purpose.
- Caithe: That's exactly right. We'll find something for them to focus on.
- Do you think we'll see Aurene again?
- Caithe: No.
- Caithe: But if I've learned anything in the time we've spent with Aurene, it's to expect the unexpected.
- <Character name>: She's certainly surprised us more than once.
- Caithe: And I have a feeling that she'll surprise us yet again.
- I'll leave you to your thoughts.
