Boss rush.

I have a lot to type and not time to do out in!

The "skyline" of Uru Mais is dominated by a smooth black Central American pyramid. We enter the field, and Gala points out there is no mist. Noa sees a house and thinks we can dream in there. They can't, but there is a notebook warning about hearing voices at night. I didn't know what it meant, so I climbed up the pyramid.

There were three pegs that came together at the top. A voice spoke to the party, and we activated three doors on the side of the pyramid. I went to the back first for some reason, and it brought us to a cave. Gala suddenly fell into a fugue state and walked forward as though possessed. Terra tells Vahn and Noa to leave him; he's about to dream.

We witness the moment his feud with Songi began. Songi was jealous that Gala was better than him. During a training ceremony two years ago, Songi sabotaged the battle. He obtained some drugs from a woman in Biran and gave them to Gala. Songi told Gala it was a Fury Elixir, which he had already taken. Guilt racked him, causing our rival to ask Gala to take one to even it up. It was not Fury but the drugs. They kicked in, and Gala was as good as "dead." After Songi won, he found out Gala knew what it was the whole time, which just upset Songi more. The voice told Gala that what he did was right, and that he shouldn't beat himself up for it. "Humans create their own happiness with their pride."

The party was warped back to the top of the pyramid, and a peg glows. Eight ethereal beings appear around them, but they don't speak in complete words.

Noa was next, and her room appeared to be a wheat field. The same thing happened, and we see her being held by her parents as a baby. It turns out Noa is the princess of Conkram. An adviser enters the room and warns the King about "Cort." We skip ahead, and the Queen asks a man to take baby Noa far away from the mist. The man grows light wings and flies away. As he soared over Mt. Rikuru, where Vahn met Noa, the mist appeared. The man crashed, and a wolf approached the baby. Terra then ascended from the sky. The voice congratulated Noa for never giving up hope despite all she'd endured.

We return to the top again, and the beings are less translucent and talkative. And then Gala gets mad. Terra and the rest of the ra-seru have an idea as to what's going on, but they're not saying anything. Gala demands answers he never gets but tells Ozma they'll split up if their goals ever differ.

Vahn's room is a beige kaleidoscope. His dream takes place shortly after his sister, Nene, was born. The birth caused his mother to bleed out, and Vahn overheard his father and elder discussing the healing waters of Drake. Despite the dangers of the mist, child Vahn somehow left the village to find the water. His father went looking for him but got wounded in the process. While the two were away, his mother died. The voice tells Vahn not to live in the past and always look for the future.

We're returned to the top, and everything is revealed. We came here to speak to the divine god, Tieg. The beings around the party tell them Tieg is half human, half seru. One day, he split himself in two and let the two halves of him live in the two separate worlds he created. This went well until a traitorous seru, Rogue, tried to fuse the two. He was sealed away for a time until he escaped and brought the mist with him. After telling us this, the beings do a dumb dance and bring everything into a pocket dimension where the Fire Drops exist. Tieg tells us the drops are chaos manifest.

As we try to leave, the world starts shaking. Juggernaut shows up, shoots a laser at the pyramid, and poofs away. Our enemies are too slow. Cara laughs, and Noa asks for her seru egg. Cara promises to do so if we save Beru.

We take the Fire Drops back to the doctor. These all powerful things are made into bombs, whose creation is the least stable method of science! But it makes four bombs.

One is used to open the path to Koru, and it went off well before the three seconds Usha told us it would... From here, the party needs to split up. They need to detonate the other three bombs at the same time from three separate directions. The three will need to open and close doors for each other to reach the destination, which was pretty fun. Although it was very short! The three prepare to plant the bombs, but they're interrupted.

The Daliles family is here. Their over-the-top words annoy Gala, but they pep up Noa. Regardless, we begin three boss fights that are functionally the same. They're all one-on-one with mirrored images of each other. The Daliless have the same attack pattern: combo, combo, art. My pattern was: after the setup/stat boost, Miracle Art, heal, Spirit. It went well and worked, even if Vahn was slower than his opponent somehow. Gala and Vahn can use Spoon, but I had Noa use a healing bloom. After They lose, they all fall off the cliff where Koru is.

The party plants the bomb, and they go off at one. Noa is angry at Usha! We (the player) see that the Daliless are dying but still alive. Their fighting spirit is still thriving, and they have one more card to play. They're loyal to Zora and the mist and fuse with the still breathing Koru. They will detonate him themselves for the sake of destruction! Our party wakes up to see the fusion light in the hole the bombs didn't make. The ra-seru tell them what's going on, and they decide they need to kill Koru. Heal, save, and get to level twenty seven!

This is a gimmick battle. We have four rounds to remove "100" HP. If we fail, we have to reload. Start this battle close to max AP. I used the first round to extend the stamina bar to perform Miracle Arts. This didn't work, so I just used the Point Card.

The heat in Koru's body escapes, and it melts the glacier around Buro. There's no downside to a billion tons of water flooding the valley. We automatically go back to town, and Gala remarks that the town is actually very beautiful when it's not frozen. Noa doesn't care because we have three trees to save. Each character empowers a single tree, and the area is restored. Cara is impressed, but she reneges on the deal. She's busy lamenting that she buried the heart of herself and her lover, Grantes, here.

The party walks away and sees three people flying overhead. These are the soren and are the key to destroying the Floating Castle. But they ignore Noa's adorable calling to them. Cara rejoins us, and her hand is bleeding. She gives us sheet music, which has the notation of the flute she played with Grantes. The fairy tale the lady told us a few days ago is about Cara and Grantes. Maybe we can change the soren's mind with music, but I'll do that...

...tomorrow!

I chose a stupid time to go into overtime. And I haven't edited anything in a week. RIP me...
