Ruins of the Water God/New Trial of the Water God

Background Story
While in the Nature Capital Naturia, our heros hear the news of the purification of water and flooding near the 700 years old ancient ruin for the Water God. With Lasswell heading to Nichole's concern, our heros takes a detour from search for Rain, and headed out to investigate.

Dialogue
Lasswell
 * This is the entrance? It seems to be sealed.

Akstar
 * Give it a try and see if we can get inside.

Lasswell I'll do it. Everybody, stand back.

Lasswell got repel by the door dramatically.

Akstar
 * There you go again... Always trying to do things by yourself.

Fina
 * You knew it wouldn't work? How do we get inside then?

Nichol
 * Wait... I wonder if...

The door open automatically for Nichol.

Jake
 * Nichol got in?! Most impressive... Huh?

?!

Nichol
 * I... can hear you. Yes... That's right...

Lid
 * Hey, Nichol. Who are you talking to?

Nichol
 * I see... Then I must go...

Nichol went ahead by himself.

Sakura "!"

Sakura
 * This is bad! You mustn't get near the unstable esper!

Sakura rush in after Nichol.

Lasswell
 * Can we... get inside now?

Akstar What are you waiting for? Are you just going to let him go off on his own?

Lasswell
 * Nobody is saying that! Let's go after him!

Everyone walk in after them.

Jake
 * Looks like we can get inside now. Is it thanks to Nichol?

-

After entering the Ancient Water God Temple, Lasswell opens up more passage by stepping on the pedestal.

Our heros found Nichol in one of the passage.

Fina
 * By water god... you mean... Leviathan, right?

Nichol
 * That's what we called him in Olderion.

Sakura
 * Before you met us, you fought with him, did you not?

Nichol "..."

Nichol
 * He was brainwashed by the Veritas of the Waters.


 * In order to stop his rampaging, we were left with no other choice.

Fina
 * After that, Luka... I mean, Nichol's sister...


 * She healed Leviathan's wounds. He's all better now, isn't he?

Nichol
 * That's right. He seemed fine when I saw him before leaving Paladia.

Lasswell Why was Leviathan in Paladia?

-

Sakura
 * The water god here is indeed Leviathan.
 * He may be an enormous esper, but in the great war 700 years ago...
 * He did not fight with us due to his gentle nature.

Lasswell
 * If he didn't join the war, then why was he in Lapis?

Sakura
 * The emperor of Aldore regarded Leviathan as a threat.
 * An esper who so fiercely protects the people would be an overwhelmingly powerful foe.

Jake "?"

Jake
 * Then what is he doing here? Are you telling me he came home?

Fina
 * With the leviathan's strength, you could probably move the entire world...

Sakura
 * Not without getting hurt, most likely. That's probably why it's unstable now.

''Nichol "..." not joining in on the discussion but quietly hearing from afar.  After everyone moved on.''

Nichol
 * Hear me, oh water god! Does this voice belong to you?

Nichol runs after the group.

-

When Nichol steps onto the pedestal, a bubble came out the door and resonated with Nichol's magic.

The Bubble began to shine!

The sound of running water can be heard.

Nichol The water god protected Olderion...

And my family protected the people alongside it.

Lid
 * It should still be protecting Lapis along with Luka.

Lasswell
 * Wait... If that's the case...


 * This means that Leviathan is in an unstable state then.

Fina "!"

Fina
 * Could it be... that Luka is somehow being affected as well?

Nichol "..."

Nichol
 * We had better hurry... We're still too far away to hear his voice...

Nichol and the team rush back to the center of the temple.

- The magical bubble teleport our heros to an spacious area fill with water.

Lasswell
 * I don't see Leviathan anywhere... Is he weakened?

Nichol
 * Allow me.

Nichol steps forward and Leviathan appears from the underground water!

Fina
 * Leviathan!

Jake
 * Hey, that's no statue! Nichol, that thing's alive!

Nichol
 * What? Oh... I see now...

Lid
 * Hey! Are you listening?!

Nichol
 * The water god...
 * He doesn't have the strength for human speech, so he's speaking directly to my heart.

Jake
 * Well... You really are a water priestess. Er, I guess a priest...

Lasswell
 * Nichol, what is Leviathan saying?

Nichol
 * He's returned to the ruins of the water god and is grieving the state of Paladia.


 * And... that it's time to atone for his rampage on Lapis.

Sakura
 * Hmm... For an esper of this size to be exhausted to the point where it cannot speak... Can we expect it to be able to fight?

Nichol
 * That's... Ah... my head!

Nichol fallen to his knees.

Leviathan shouts!

Lid
 * Nichol!

Jake
 * Are you really sure the water god is worn out? I've got a bad feeling about this!

Lasswell
 * Either way, we've got to pass this trial to form a pact with him! Get ready!

- After the battle is over.

Nichol stands back up.

Nichol
 * He is saying... the pact is made. He will lend us his strength.

Lasswell
 * Are you positive that Leviathan will fight with us?

Nichol
 * Yes. He has judged our cause to be a worthy one.


 * We must not let that belief go to waste...

Sakura
 * Nichol. The fact that you can understand what Leviathan is saying...


 * Is because you are a descendant of the water priestesses. However...


 * You are not a true priestess. You will not be able to speak with him outside of this place.

Lasswell
 * What is your point, Sakura?

Fina
 * If there's something you wish to ask him, you should do it while you have the chance.

Nichol
 * You're right... I'm worried about my home.


 * Oh water god. Is my sister well?

''Water from Leviathan imbue Nichol. ''

- A memory flash

Luka is standing beside the lake.

Luka
 * Nichol, I hope you are well on your journey.


 * I always worry because you have a strong sense of responsibility and try to shoulder too much on your own.


 * You never explained what his journey was about before you left.


 * You're always so straightforward about things. But this time, you said nothing. You think this burden is yours alone to bear...


 * I couldn't help but worry, so... I asked the water god about where you were going and why. Please don't be angry with me.


 * He told me everything. He said you've gone to Paladia to rid him of his fear of the impurities in the water.


 * And that is why I was released from my duties...


 * Well, this time I want to help you. That is why... I have prayed to the water god.


 * It is possible for him to use the blood that binds us to cross the boundary between worlds.


 * The only requirement was for me to lend him some of my own strength.


 * The water god has used his powers as the esper Leviathan to locate you and travel to this other world.


 * The city has grown a little uneasy now that the water god is no longer here, but I am doing what I can to comfort them.


 * Please, Nichol. May the water god's protection be with you...

-

Nichol
 * Luka... You knew... and you tired to protect me...

Fina
 * It's thanks to Luka's prayers that Leviathan was able to come to Paladia...

Jake
 * Heh... What a good boy!

Lasswell
 * She must be sending her feelings all the way from Lapis to help us stand against this evil.

Nichol
 * Luka... Thank you.


 * When my journey is over... I'll come home to see you.


 * Until then... wait for me...

The esper Leviathan has joined the party!
