Three Wishes

The turmoil in Septimont has been resolved. Enjoy the moment of peaceful respite with your fellow traveler.

Quest List

Cartethyia quietly stares at the Septimontian plaza. There is a hint of bitterness in her gaze, but the three wishes she once made have been fulfilled.

Cartethyia:

Ah... it's all gone now. But I'll ask the tavern keeper if he can prepare something for you later.

Cartethyia:

The Laurus Salad was as delightful as ever. Well worth reacquainting myself with so I can make a bowl myself.

Cartethyia:

Fresh, crisp, sweet... Heh.

Cartethyia:

Come, sit with me, Rover. Let's enjoy a moment of peace.

Cartethyia:

Yes, and so... I've been thinking about what I vowed to you before.

Cartethyia:

To savor the things I desire, visit the places I long for, and meet those I wish to see.

Cartethyia:

To become a roving knight is my true ambition. A wish list is something to be experienced one step at a time.

Rover:

I'd say your first wish has already been fulfilled.

Cartethyia:

The third, too... though by unexpected means.

Cartethyia:

Those are my adoptive parents... and their child.

Cartethyia:

Perhaps it was fate's cruel jest. I couldn't find any trace of them after they moved from Ragunna, but here in Septimont, I discovered where they had resettled.

Cartethyia:

Only... they no longer recognize me.

Cartethyia:

The truth that I was their daughter was a memory the Threnodian crafted for them, disappearing when It was sealed away in the tower.

Cartethyia:

I don't know what they went through after that fateful day, but at least... they are still alive. They even have their own child.

Cartethyia:

They walk here every day, so I come and sit for a while to watch them from a distance.

Rover:

Cartethyia...

Cartethyia:

It's alright, Rover. In fact, I'm at peace with it now.

Cartethyia:

If they had died because of the Order's heavy hand, I would've felt true pain. But this... this is the best outcome I could hope for.

Cartethyia:

To live twenty years with the weight of a lost child... I don't want to imagine that kind of torment.

Cartethyia:

Besides, through all these twists of fate, all three of my wishes have been fulfilled.

Cartethyia:

Now if I crave a Laurus Salad, I can prepare it myself and savor its taste.

Cartethyia:

And I still have many years ahead to see the world and the places I long to visit.

Cartethyia:

As for the people I hope to meet... this unexpected journey led me to find them in another city.

Cartethyia:

The winds of Rinascita always seem to bring me what I seek. I am content.
