A. Prologue

Kraden: (?) Jenna, is something troubling you?
Jenna: I just...
Kraden: What is it? What's wrong?
Jenna: I have a bad feeling... Like something terrible is going to happen.
Alex: How unlike you, Jenna.
Surprised to see me?
Kraden: A-Alex! were you listening?
Alex: Where's Felix? Why isn't he here with you?
Jenna: My borther? He left us.
Alex: ... What can Felix possibly be thinking?
Kraden: He was worried about Sheba. He went to check on her.
Alex: He was supposed to be leading you out of here! I thought you would have been far from this lighthouse by now. Why are you still here?
Kraden: We tried to stop Felix from going back up to the aerie.
Alex: How like him. Once Felix gets an idea into his head, he rarely changes his mind.
Jenna: Alex, what were you talking about just now?
What did you mean when you said... "How unlike you"
Alex: I was merely surprised to hear you expressing such concern, Jenna. Nevertheless, I'm impressed Felix went back...
Jenna: Don't change the subject, Alex! What did you mean!?
Are you saying that I'm insensitive!?
Alex: If that's what you heard, then I must have misspoken. Accept my apologies.
Kraden: Well, Jenna, I think Alex has said his piece on the matter...
Jenna: I'm not sure he has, Kraden.
Who do you think you are, talking to me like that!?
Alex: I retract my statement, my dear. Forget all about it, Jenna.
Jenna: ...

Alex: So tell me about this "feeling," Jenna...
Jenna: I'm just... I'm not sure we should be leaving Venus Lighthouse yet...
Kraden: What are you saying?
Alex: You can't really mean to remain here...
Kraden: Alex is right. It's far too dangerous, Jenna. We would only hinder the others...
Jenna: The others? Did Isaac follow us to the lighthouse?
Kraden: It would seem so.
Jenna: He must be trying to stop Saturos and Menardi! If my brother goes back and finds Isaac, they're going to end up fighthing.
Alex: If the Venus Lighthouse has not yet been lit, yes. They will fight.
Kraden: Felix is a terribly rash young man, is he not?

Jenna: Why are boys such fools?
Kraden: He may be rash, but Felix is no fool. His good qualities outwigh his bad...
Jenna: That's why I think Isaac would understand if we just talked to him. Why didn't I think of this before now? Please... Can't we go back up and talk to Isaac?
Alex: I'm afraid that's not possible.
Jenna: Alex, why?
Alex: He is an enemy.
Jenna: Isaac? An enemy?
Alex: Our methods may differ, but you and I ultimately want the same thing...
Kraden: To light the elemental lighthouses... Isaac and his friends would prevent this from happening.
Jenna: So that makes them enemies?
Alex: But fear not... they won't be able to defeat Saturos and Menardi. So... Felix went back to the top of the lighthouse?
Kraden: Why do you seem so pleased, Alex?
Alex: Why shouldn't I be? After all, the lighthouse will soon shine brightly once again!

Jenna: Alex, why do you want to see the beacon lit so badly?
Alex: Oh, so it's my turn to answer questions, is it? Once, Alchemy was commonplace throughout this world... With its power, mankind worked wonders across the land...
Kraden: The lost age of man...
Alex: I want to see that world restored once again and...
Jenna: And what, Alex?
Alex: We've spoken long enough already. Let us continue this another time.
We should leave the lighthouse now, before the beacon is fired...
Kraden: I concur... Let's meet at the location we agreed on and wait for Felix.
Jenna: ... All right, Kraden, let's go.

Jenna checked the chest... The chest was already open. But it looks like there's still an Herb inside!

There are words carved into the relief... If ye seek to climb Venus Lighthouse, first seek the power within. To obtain this power, see with the eyes of truth. Then the way shall open. But the path I reveal is not the beginning. The true beginning lies down ancient pathways on distant soils.

Someone: There they are! Get ‘em!
Soldier 1: Iodem sent us to stand guard here, but… I never thought we’d actually run into them!
Man 1: Scoundrels! What have you done with Sheba?
Bold man 1: Return her now, or you’re really going to regret it!
Soldier 2: Um… Aren’t there supposed to be more of them?
Soldier 3: Huh… Maybe they’re just the first ones to come out…
Man 2: Great! That means we’ve got ‘em outnumbered!
Bold man 2: We can probably take ‘em, you think?
Soldier 2: Go feth the other Tolbi soldiers still stationed inLalivero…
Soldier 4: Yes, sir!
Bold man 2: And we’ll go tell the guys in the caves!
Man 3: Got it, Boss!

Kraden: How unfortunate.. It looks like an ambush. What should we do, Jenna?
Jenna: What do you mean? Look around.. We’ll have to fight them!
Alex: Are you serious? Jenna, are you really prepared to fight these men?
Jenna: We don’t have any other choice. We have to…
Alex: Well, then. Allow me to shoulder some of your burden.
Kraden: …Burden?
Alex: We regroup along the road leading away from Lalivero. Do you understand?
Kraden: Answer no: It’s quite simple, Jenna. The meeting place is in the direction opposite Lalivero.
Alex: Follow this road west, and take the path down through the canyon to the cave. On the other side of the cave, you will find a small peninsula called Idejima. We meet there. Thankfully, only those workmen block your route.
Jenna: And fortunately…
Kraden: They don’t look too tough…
Man 1: Hello! We can hear you!!!
Bold man 1: That’s just plain rude!
Alex: Why don’t the two of you escape and leave the Tolbi soldiers to me?
Jenna: The two of us? Alone?
Alex: You can use Psynergy, can’t you, Jenna?
Jenna: Um… Yes.
Alex: Then you’ll be fine. We shall reconvene at the peninsula.

Soldier 1: You think you can take on Tolbi’s finest on your own, little man?
Alex: I do not wish to inflict unnecessary bloodshed.
Soldier 5: Don’t wish to… What’s that supposed to mean?
Alex: If you lay a hand on these two, I assure you that you will be made to regret it. By advancing, I assume you mean to fight. Permit me to strike the first blow.

(Alex blows soldier 1 and 5 away)

Soldier 2: What was that!?
Soldier 3: I don’t know, but whatever he did, it’s out of our league!
Soldier 2: (jumps) You guys deal with him until backup arrives!
Alex: Oh, so you’re next?
Man 1: Hey, no need to worry about us!
Bold man 1: We’re not soldiers… We’re not anybody!
Man 2: Seriously, there’s no way we’re gonna face off against you.
Bold man 2: Let’s getta outta here!

(men on the left are running away, with man 2 is falling on the floor)

Alex: How undignified… and how shameful. Jenna, now is your chance. Go to Idejima and wait for me. I’m not finished with you yet.
You mentioned backup from Lalivero? Let’s go meet them together, shall we?
Soldier 2: Hey, pal! When they get here, you’ll really be in for it!
Alex: Do you honestly believe that even a hundred of you could stop me?
(soldier 2 and 3 are stepping back every time)
Alex: How amusing… This I must see.

Kraden: They’re gone… Come on, Jenna… Let’s be going. There’s nothing standing in our way now!
Jenna: But…
Kraden: What is it now?
Ah you’re worried about hurting any innocents?
Answer yes:
Answer no: Oh. You must be concerned about Felix. We can’t do anything to help him here.

Let’s get going! To the peninsula!

Wild man 1: Why do I gotta be the one to wait for backup!?
(jumps) Yaaah! P-P-Please! Just let me go, and… Hey! (!) That scary guy with the blue hair’s not with you… Great! Now, you’ll see what I’m made of!
(after battle) Ugggh. I can’t believe I got beaten by a girl…

When going right: Kraden: Not that way, Jenna! The metting spot is west of here. We must go down that road and into the hills.
