But...I could not stop thinking about the song. Carmelo: Before you bury it...may I sing it one last time? Carmelo: The earth does bloom with the fragrance of life, The sweet wind awakens us from our strife; Carmelo: A miracle rides upon a gust of fate, In tune with destiny, my true love awaits Carmelo: The grace of the gods brings warmth to the lands And thus breathes life into its timeless sands Carmelo: Miracles rain down from the heavens above And bestow their fine blessing unto my love. Carmelo: My travels with Dariah once brought us here... Carmelo: I can still remember that day. The landscape... Carmelo: The soft rustle of the leaves... The rays of light, piercing the darkness of the towering trees... The wind on our cheeks... Carmelo: But all that has changed. The which remains in my heart is nothing but a memory... and that is all it will ever be. Carmelo: The sands of time never stop flowing. Not for me...or anyone. Dariah: That is what I've been trying to tell you. Dariah: That's why we have to make the most of what we are now. Even if it means facing hard times. Carmelo: Dariah!? Dariah: How many years have passed since we last met...? Dariah: I heard from Gueravrel about what he made you do. I apologize for his foolishness. Dariah: But, here you are. Dariah: I knew that you would try hiding the song away from the rest of the world. Carmelo: ... Dariah: It is a lovely melody. It takes me back to the time we traveled through these parts so many years ago. Carmelo: Dariah... I... Carmelo: Not a day has gone by that I did not think of you. Carmelo: But I have changed. Your words and the words of this adventurer have transformed me into a new man. Dariah: Carmelo... Carmelo: I've come to realize that even though we may be apart, you and I both breathe the same air... tread the same soil. Carmelo: We must do our best to treasure the short amount of time we have been given on Vana'diel. Carmelo: The time spent with you... That is my treasure. Carmelo: However, I know that many treasures await me still. Carmelo: I now know that I must not live my life within my memories. I must set out and make memories anew. Carmelo: I am ready to wind the hands of my clock once again, so that one day, our hands may meet again. Dariah: Carmelo... Thank you. Dariah:You finally understand what I tried to tell you long ago. Dariah:I have not forgotten the time we spent together. Those memories are my treasure as well. Dariah:I think we adventurers are not meant to settle down in one place. Dariah:The time we share drives us to continue on in this vast world. That is why... Dariah:I look forward to the day... Dariah:...when the hands of our clocks come together once again. Carmelo:And I will be waiting, Dariah. When you see me again, I will be a new man. Dariah:Carmelo. There is one thing I want you to know. Dariah:Carmelo... Dariah:No matter how far apart we may be, my heart will always be with you. Carmelo:Dariah... Carmelo:... Carmelo:I...I do not know how to thank you. You have brought me so much. Carmelo:It is not much, but please take this as a measure of my gratitude. Carmelo:Now I show head back to Bastok... and the new life that awaits. |}
