A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - A Song of Celadon Skies - Episode 4
The party works together to take on the monsters, whose incredible numbers lead them to suspect the existence of the Dark Scar nearby. To test that theory, they break through the lines and straight into the heart of the monster horde.
Monsters: ...!
Vyrn: How can there be this many of them?
Io: They have us surrounded!
Having arrived in Valtz to exterminate monsters, (Captain)'s party finds itself faced with an unbelievable number of foes.
Monsters: ...!
Tear: Don't be distracted by their numbers. Just stay calm and—
Tear: Io!
Io: Huh?
Tear: Don't even think about it!
Tear: Be caref—
Io: Behind you!
Tear: Ugh!
Io: Watch yourself too, okay?
Tear: Thanks. I knew I could count on you.
Io: That goes without saying!
Vyrn: How can there possibly be this many of them? And they keep coming!
Lyria: There's no end to it!
Io: There must be a Dark Scar nearby.
Tear: It's certainly possible. And if so, there's no point in fighting these monsters until we do something about the source.
Io: Then let's break through and find whatever the source is!
Vyrn: Sounds like a plan. Let's move, (Captain)!
A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - A Song of Celadon Skies - Episode 4: Scene 2
When Lyria senses a primal beast, Tear reveals that she had the same sensation when arriving in this world. As the party stands alert, they are suddenly approached by Vacheron, the primal beast capable of interfering with space-time. The party is shocked to see it after they've already defeated it, but before they can react, the power of Tear's song causes the primal beast to reveal its true form.
Heading in the direction of the monster horde, the party breaks through and presses forward.
Io: Do you have a moment, Tear?
Tear: What is it?
Io: I know you may just be tagging along with us because you need to get back to your own world, but...
Tear: What? Io, it's not like—
Tear: Huh? What is this feeling?
Sensing something extraordinary, the entire party comes to a halt.
Vyrn: The air feels heavy all of a sudden. Why is it so hard to breathe?
Io: This isn't normal. There must be something here.
Lyria: Wait... I sense a primal beast!
Tear: This is the same sensation I felt when I was swallowed into the rift!
Vyrn: It is? But that would mean...
Lyria: Here it comes!
Io: You've got to be kidding me. Isn't that...
Lyria: Vacheron!
Vyrn: Didn't we defeat this thing already?
Tear: Vacheron? That's a primal beast, then?
Lyria: Yes, one that can interfere with space-time. But we already destroyed it...
Tear: How can that be?
Vyrn: We're just as confused as you!
Vyrn: But if Vacheron is involved, it's not surprising that space-time has distorted to the point where we're connected with other worlds.
Lyria: Wait a moment. Something's wrong.
Lyria: That Vacheron seems... different from before.
Tear: Different how?
Lyria: I don't think that's Vacheron at all...
Vyrn: Then what is it?
Lyria: I can't put it into words, but I feel the presence of another being deep within Vacheron.
Tear: Stand back, everyone.
Io: Tear, wait! You can't face it alone!
Tear: It's all right.
Taking a step towards Vacheron, Tear takes a breath.
Tear: ...Laaaaa!
Tear's beautiful and mysterious voice echoes out, enveloping everything in the area.
Io: What's going on?
Lyria: I feel as though I'm being protected by something. Is this the power of Tear's singing?
Vacheron: ...!
Vacheron: ...?
Vyrn: Look! Vacheron is...
Vacheron draws closer to the party, then suddenly pulls back as if repelled by something.
Its shape begins to distort and crumble.
Vacheron: ...
???: ...!
Vyrn: It changed shape!
Lyria: This must be the primal beast's true form.
Io: I'm not sure how you did it, but you're incredible, Tear!
Tear: Forget that. The real fight starts here.
Vyrn: Looks like we found the cause of all this trouble. Let's take care of business, (Captain)!
A Tale of Skyborn Bonds - A Song of Celadon Skies - Episode 4: Scene 3
(Captain)'s party defeats the monster that was projecting the shape and power of Vacheron only to find the unstable Dark Scar remaining in its wake. Io then admits that she originally mistrusted Tear because she felt Tear was only with them out of necessity. After confirming they are now true friends, Tear passes through the rift and returns to her own world.
Io: Ha! Not nearly as tough as I was expecting!
???: ...
Lyria: I no longer sense anything odd. We should be in the clear.
Vyrn: What was that thing?
Io: I can't say for sure, but I think that primal beast was only projecting Vacheron's form and power.
Lyria: I agree.
Vyrn: Wait! Take a look at that! In the spot where the primal beast used to be!
Io: Ah! Isn't that the Dark Scar?
Tear: It must be. It's exactly like what I saw in my own world.
Lyria: It looks as though it could vanish at any moment.
Tear: You're right. I wonder if it's because we've defeated the primal beast.
Vyrn: Good point! It's probably unstable because the head honcho is out of the picture.
Io: You mean it's about to disappear?
Tear: That seems likely. Which means monsters will no longer be able to come through.
Io: That's a relief. But...
Tear: Looks like I need to be on my way.
Vyrn: Oh... I guess that's wise. If the Dark Scar seems ready to vanish, it's probably best to hurry.
Tear: I agree. Thank you, everyone.
Lyria: No, thank you! Having you around made things much easier for us.
Vyrn: Get home safe, you hear?
Tear: Understood. Well then...
Io: Tear!
As Tear turns her back to the party, Io calls out to stop her.
Tear: Io?
Io: I, uh... I thought you were only with us because you needed to get home.
Io: I felt like you didn't really trust us, and I didn't like that.
Tear: Oh, Io...
Io: But you put all that aside and saved me and the others from the monsters.
Tear: I did what anyone would have done.
Io: Yeah, I had a feeling you'd say that.
Io: Oh, and I also wanted to thank you for picking up on the whole... Valtz thing.
Tear: Io...
Io: I guess I was the one being distant all along.
Io: And I'm so sorry! I really do think of you as a close friend now!
Tear: I feel the same way. I consider myself lucky to have made irreplaceable friends like you and the others in this world.
Io: Yeah!
Tear: Thank you, Io.
Tear: Vyrn? Lyria? (Captain)? I can't thank you enough.
With a smile on her calm face, Tear turns her back to the party.
Tear: Farewell.
Without hesitation, Tear approaches the Dark Scar and disappears into it.
Moments later, the unstable Dark Scar fades away.
Vyrn: Off she goes.
Lyria: Yup.
Io: All right, this is no time for standing around with our heads in the clouds. We still have things to do!
Io: There may still be monsters lurking nearby.
Vyrn: All righty, then. Let's take out the trash!
Just before the party takes their leave, Io stops and turns back around.
She smiles, staring at the space where the Dark Scar was just a moment ago.
Io: (Thank you, Tear. I thought your singing was beautiful.)
Io: (I wish I had asked to hear more of it when I had the chance...)
Io: See you again.
