Dialogue 16

1. Zaide: So, it's come to this after all.
   • You knew?
2. Zaide: I've feared as much ever since Ankunu lost control. I knew it would happen eventually.
3. Zaide: I tried to hold the seal alone...but it was beyond my power.
4. Zaide: Now, the only way is to kill what lurks inside, before it escapes.
   • What lies within the portal?
5. Zaide: We called it the "Nightmare." The Cult named it Celtak.
6. Zaide: That horror is tied to the gods they revere. Beyond that, I cannot say.
7. Zaide: The Starwanderers looked long to the heavens...yet the stars never spoke.
   • So that's why you were guarding the place.
8. Zaide: Yes. It was because of the Eternal Nightmare.
9. Zaide: Now, you are our last hope.
10. Zaide: Please—keep the Eternal Nightmare from crossing into this realm.
11. Zaide: Remarkable. You've cast back the Eternal Nightmare.
    • The Eternal Nightmare is gone.
    • Do you know what this is?
    • Nothing. Goodbye.
12. Zaide: Not gone—it has only withdrawn.
13. Zaide: In time, it will claw its way back here.
14. Zaide: When it does, I'll stand firm until you come again. Do not delay.
15. Zaide: You have rekindled all three pillars. You have my thanks.
16. Zaide: Hmm... Faint though it is, can you feel it? The presence of Rancor lingering within the pillars.
    • I heard that the Starlight Shard has been tainted by Rancor.
    • Sorry, I'm busy.
