The Tide Father Resurfaces

Once weakened by the imperial army, the lord of the seas fully recovers and joins the crew. Juri wishes to know why his father, who stood for justice above all else, instilled Poseidon with dark essence, but the Tide Father does not remember. They visit the location where Poseidon was first captured to learn the truth.



One day, after completing a mission, Lyria broaches an unexpected subject to (Captain).
Lyria: Um, (Captain)... I think Poseidon wants to talk to you.
Vyrn: Poseidon? Isn't that the primal beast who went on a rampage after being pumped full of dark essence?
Vyrn speaks of an incident that played out in Auguste which involved the crew.
As part of the imperial army's Operation: Apprehend Poseidon, the primal beast was given enough dark essence to manifest in physical form.
Poseidon: You would ridicule the lord of the sea, you miserable minnow? Your foul power estranged my body from my will!
Poseidon: And as your punishment, the very land you stand on will sink into the depths of the sea.
Not intent on letting anyone control him, the enraged Poseidon nearly destroyed the Auguste Isles.
But thanks to the efforts of (Captain) and Juri, Poseidon was safely absorbed by Lyria.
Vyrn: I guess he's well enough to come out and chat now?
Lyria: Mm-hm. In fact, he's out here already. See?
Poseidon: ...
Vyrn: Heyo, long time no see, Poseidon. What did you wanna talk about?
Lyria: It seems like he needs lots of water to make a full recovery.
Lyria: That's why he wants us to bring him to the seas of Auguste.
Vyrn: Whaddya say, (Captain)? We just finished up a mission, so we've time to kill.
Lyria: Once Poseidon's recovered, he wants to repay the favor by lending us his strength.
Poseidon's power once proved a great threat to all, which also means he would make for a most powerful ally.
The crew heads to Auguste to tend to the primal beast.
Vyrn: Sure is nice to know he's on the road to recovery though.
Vyrn: I still remember how much pain the dark essence caused him back then.
Lyria: Yeah...
Lyria: I think this spot's good!
The crew stops by the shoreline.
Lyria: Okay, here goes...
Lyria: Poseidon, come out!
Lyria holds an arm out toward the sea, which begins to gently shimmer.
Once the light subsides, the Tide Father Poseidon becomes visible in the water.
Poseidon: Ah yes, the bountiful sea could not be more rejuvenating.
Poseidon: I am back to my glorious self, as the almighty Tide Father.
Lyria: I sense a great power from Poseidon, just like when we first met.
Vyrn: Means he's all better!
The crew is pleased to see the water god in good spirits.
He takes a good look at (Captain) and company, a serenity in his eyes.
Poseidon: It has been a long time, children of man.
Poseidon: Though I have stayed in the shadows, I have been watching your journey all this time.
Poseidon: I also know that you've avenged me in your own way by teaching that foolish empire a lesson.
Poseidon: As such, I've come to realize that you are more than worthy of my blessing as the Tide Father.
(Captain) ponders the meaning of his words.
  1. You mean you wanna join the crew?
  2. Feels like you've helped us all along...


Choose: You mean you wanna join the crew?

Poseidon: That's one way of putting it. Though of course, I will not become a child of man myself.
Poseidon: I merely permit you to use my power if you so choose, and I will also call you captain if you so prefer.
Poseidon: That is my way of thanking you.

Choose: Feels like you've helped us all along...

Poseidon: No. I've merely lent you an iota of power through the girl in blue.
Poseidon: But if you so wish, I will lend you the full extent of my strength going forward. You'll see for yourself why people call me the Tide Father.

Lyria: Teehee, I look forward to traveling with you some more, Poseidon!
Vyrn: Same here! We already know what a powerhouse you are, so we'll be countin' on you big-time!
Noting their delighted expressions, Poseidon responds in kind.
Poseidon: Very well. May you bask in the glory of the Tide Father.
Poseidon: Captain, I now wield my trident for you.
Vyrn: Great, so we're done here! I'll show you around the Grandcypher when we get back later!
Lyria: And we can have lunch in the ship's galley!
They turn on their heels to head back to port.
Just then, a familiar figure suddenly appears.

???: Wait!
???: Whew... Made it just in time!
Lyria: Huh? Oh, it's Juri!
Juri is a hot-blooded young man who fights for justice and once served the imperial army.
Though he at first participated in Operation: Apprehend Poseidon, he found out the empire was not on the side of justice and left.
He's been traveling with (Captain)'s crew ever since then.

Juri's Voice: Wait!
Juri: Whew... Made it just in time!
Lyria: Huh? Oh, it's Juri!

Vyrn: Weren't you supposed to have the day off? Any reason you're fully armored and all tense?
While most are surprised, Poseidon glares coldly at Juri.
Poseidon: Hm, a familiar face. The blood that flows within you is a reminder firmly etched in my memory.
Juri: Yeah, I'll bet... I haven't forgotten about you either.
It was Juri's father, acting under the imperial army's orders, who had first awoken Poseidon.
Juri: Poseidon! If it's payback for what my father did to you that you want, then take it out on me! Just leave the island alone!
Poseidon: You ask for clemency? Ignorant fool! I am a god, and justice is mine to mete out as I see fit! I have no pity left for your kind.
Poseidon directed his anger at Juri, and the soldier confronted him head on.
Juri came out victorious, leaving the sea god's anger unappeased.
Poseidon: So you've come to repent for your slight against me, I see. Splendid.
Juri: ...!
Vyrn: Uh-oh... Juri's gonna be in danger at this rate!
Lyria: Hey, no fighting! Please calm down!
(Captain) runs up to Juri, ready to protect him from harm's way.
Poseidon: Do not interfere, Captain. Only one person has to pay for the damage done to me. I do not intend for anyone else to get involved.
  1. Run, Juri!
  2. Calm down, Poseidon!


Choose: Run, Juri!

Juri: No! I came here to settle things!
Poseidon: Oh? How admirable.
Go to "Continue 7"


Choose: Calm down, Poseidon!

Poseidon: I am not one to use my power aimlessly. There is not a ripple in my heart.
Poseidon: Of course, I recognize that the foolish boy is also equally calm at heart.

Juri glares back at Poseidon.
Juri: I won't run or hide. Nor would I mind accepting your punishment.
Juri: But before we fight, I have a favor to ask.
Poseidon: Fine. I'll give you a moment to say your last words.
Juri continues in all earnestness.
Juri: The empire has since collapsed, along with all factions of the imperial army stationed throughout the skies.
Juri: Yet I'd still like to know what my father was trying to accomplish in Auguste.
Juri: He always spoke to me of justice, yet he went ahead and embedded dark essence within you. Can you tell me why?
Poseidon: I have no answer for you. Or perhaps I should say, any answer I may have had is gone.
Poseidon: The memory you seek remains shrouded by the treacherous light of the dark essence.
Vyrn: Uh... You mean you don't remember much about the dark essence?
Poseidon: Correct. Only my anger toward the foolish cretins remains.
Juri: Damn, so you don't know what happened with my father?
Poseidon: That's right. If you wish to find out, give me a suitable offering capable of dredging up the memories within me.
Juri: A suitable offering?
Juri: There may be records of the operation left at Karna Citadel...
Poseidon: Then bring me there. In order to cleanse myself entirely of the wrong done to me, I must know the truth.
Juri: Fair enough. I didn't plan on facing you without knowing the truth either.
Poseidon: Let us go then, to the resting place of my shame.
The crew follows Juri's directions to reach Karna Citadel.
Taking in the sight of the citadel ruins, turbulent waves begin to form in the corner of the Tide Father's eyes.
