Memories/Script

Opening
(The Avatar, Azura, Ryoma, and Xander walk into the mysterious forest) (A mysterious woman suddenly appears)
 * Avatar: It feels like this forest goes on forever. Just how big is it, I wonder...
 * Azura: Don't worry, Avatar. Though it is long, we're on the right path.
 * Avatar: You've been here before, then?
 * Azura: I'm not sure. I have very faint memories of this place. Some things feel familiar. I was young... Holding my mother's hand...
 * ???: ... Welcome, all of you. Have you been enjoying your visit to Valla?
 * Azura: Mother?! That can't be possible! You're-!
 * Arete: I am Arete. Faithful servant to the great ruler of this land, the mighty King Anankos.
 * Azura: No... A servant?
 * Arete: Of course. Everyone who lives in Valla is King Anankos's servant, knowingly or not. And while I was unsuccessful the last time we met, I will redeem myself today.
 * Azura: Mother... You were the mage we fought when we first came here, then...
 * Arete: ...
 * Xander: What vile magic is this? I know you said that Anankos could turn the dead to his will, but this...
 * Ryoma: Unbelievable. We have to fight Azura's mother in order to proceed?
 * Avatar: Azura... I can't imagine how this feels... Are you all right?
 * Azura: I'm OK. I know that this thing isn't my mother. Without any of the memories of being my mother, you're nothing more than a puppet. You know that, don't you?
 * Arete: "Mother." What nonsense... ...The only thing I know - the only thing I need to know - is this: You all must die. King Anankos has declared it be so, and I will fulfill his wishes!
 * Azura: ... Get read, Avatar. Everyone else, too... Ready your weapons. We're doomed if we can't get past her!
