Aldo

There's nothing here... Is it really around here? Where could the Chapel of the Goddess of Time be?

Wha?! What's happening?!

Amy

Aldo, what's up?

Aldo

It's Ogre Rancorem... I think it's waking up?!

Ogre Rancorem

Aldo...

Aldo

Ogre Rancorem!

Ogre Rancorem

Be prepared, Aldo... It is here.

Aldo

It? You mean the Chapel of the Goddess of Time? Wait, are you calling out to the church? Just like that time with Ogres Spikes?

Ogre Rancorem

No! It's the other way round... The Daughter of Time who sealed us... She is calling to us! It's looking for us! You and I...!

Aldo

What?!

Ogre Rancorem

Aldo, here it comes! Those who stand in the darkness! The Chapel of the Goddess of Time!

Aldo

...!

So that's the Chapel of the Goddess of Time!

Amy

That huge thing...was that a space-time hole? Does that mean the church appears or disappears... Because it's wandering through the passage of time through the space-time holes that opens irregularly?

Cyrus

Amato Island... Hmm. I'm about to be enlightened...!

Feinne

Let's get going, big brother!

Aldo

Yeah, you're right. Let's go, everyone. We can't keep the Goddess of Time waiting!

Daughter of Time

Welcome, Heroes from the West, into the arms of the Goddess of Time. I am the Daughter of Time. I serve the Goddess of Time. We await her return from the distant past and are ever-searching for the key. The key which will open the tightly sealed door to paradise once more. All whilst wandering in the stream of time.

Aldo

Are you the ones who have altered history? In the other timeline, the word of the Goddess of Time wasn't spread worldwide and the East didn't invade the West.

Daughter of Time

The Lands of Mi and Shin were satisfied after destroying the Land of Ro. You already know of us and how we can move through spacetime? In this timeline, we were able to appear at an ideal point in the history, encouraging Garneli to invade west.

Aldo

But why? Why did you do that?

Daughter of Time

It is all for the return of the Goddess of Time. For it is written in the Book of the Time Dream. On the day of the awakening from visions of the Time Dream, the Goddess of Time returns, and the door to paradise opens...

Aldo

The day we wake...? Dreams of time...? Door to paradise...

Ogre Rancorem

Daughter of Time, don't tell me. Did you alter the very course of history in order to bring Aldo and us to this place?

Daughter of Time

Hmph. Ogre Rancorem, the cursed sword. It has been many moons since our last meeting. It appears your seal is yet to be fully broken.

Elderly Man

S-Someone, help!

It's lady Tsukiha! The Jiraiya Fortress attacked the soldiers of Mi and then took off in the direction of Izana!

Aldo

What?!

Tsukiha

Suzaku!

Elderly Man

There was a rumor that Genshin had been trying to subdue Jiraiya for some time now. It looks like he finally sent a group of soldiers to Jiraiya, encouraged by the Land of Shin's act. After routing the attacking forces, Jiraiya changed direction and headed straight for Izana! It appears the Land of Mi are also targeting Tsukiha. They're even dragging the people of Ikarga into it!

Aldo

This is bad! What is Suzaku thinking?

Amy

Aldo, we have to get to Izana now!

Aldo

You're right, let's hurry!

Tsukiha

Suzaku...

I must go too!

Tsubame

Kamome...
