Fix the Astrarium

Hey! Is the Curtain of Troials working?

I did a test run and it seems to be functioning fine at the moment. I thank you again for your help.

So now that that's settled, should we get to work on the Astrarium? You need a new Astrolabos, right?

Yes, it will serve to protect the ark. It acts as both the vessel's compass and a safeguard for when the calamity awakens.

Because it can send people to the past and let them change the timeline, right?

The calamity cannot be defeated with brute strength, but the dreamancers can use their psychic abilities to avoid it entirely.

I guess that's why Rem was so desperate to keep going back.

Rem...

S-So, uhh...how do we even start "making" an Astrolabos?

You can gather the necessary materials in the usual areas. Could I trouble you once more to handle the construction?

No problem. We can get the Astrolabos set up and repair the area while we're at it. Let's start up the device and find out what we need.

Fixing up the Astrolabos really brings back memories of what happened in Resttin.

Back then, all the beastfolk came together to help us restore it.

I'm sure they'll be glad to lend a hand this time too. Let's go see Grenfaa and the others.

You want us to build the Astrolabos? My, that takes me back...

Back then, I couldn't decide anything for myself. I get embarrassed whenever I think about it...

What are you talking about, Brasah? Sure, you used to be weak and indecisive. But there's no way you could've learned everything you did without real grit. I think you're amazing, man.

Thanks... I should thank you, too, Chelika.

M-Me?! Oh no... D-Did I say something weird to you?

You said something, but it wasn't weird. You told me there was nothing wrong with the way I was. That everyone around me was just unusually strong. Hearing those words really put me at ease.

That sounds like something I would say, alright... Still, it's kind of embarrassing to hear. But I'm glad it helped you.

Huh... So it was that simple all along.

What do you mean?

I always admired your strength, Master Guildna. But it also frustrated me, thinking that I wouldn't be able to make a difference unless I reached your level.

But that's not the case. I don't need the power to change everything all at once. I can change things in little ways, and over time they'll start adding up. I see now that's what evolution really is.

Hmm... It is good to see this village making strides in the right direction.

Now we have a chance to put our skills to the test.

Just bring me the materials, Aldo. Then I'll build you a masterpiece that would put the old me to shame!

There. It's finished.

Thank you for bringing me here. I wanted to install it with my own two hands.

It is truly a masterpiece. I am honored to have met you, good sir.

What're you writing, Brasah?

Notes on how to repair the Astrolabos, so they can fix it if anything goes wrong.

That's very kind of you, Brasah. Then again, you've always been considerate!

Indeed. Your attention to detail has saved us countless times in the past.

It feels strange knowing the Astrolabos we fixed on Astra Island was actually made by us in the past.

You're surprised? C'mon, you should know that the past and future are entwined like a spiral.

The light we cast in this era makes it all the way to us in the future.

Now then, for the final test... Let us start up the Astrolabos.

I will leave that to you, Aldo.

Then we'll handle the countdown! 3... 2... 1...

Here we go! Stars, illuminate the future!
