Rover go to the arena and meet up with Lupa

Lupa: “You've come, warrior! The mighty guardian, our ludicis Arsinosa, is not the kind of Echo to warm to crowds. The Lioness favors the strong, the unyielding, and the battle-hardened. Only those she deems worthy will find her arms welcoming. But... she is still an Echo and can't talk.”




Rover: (These sounds...)
Arsinosa heads towards the Vale of Glory.
Lupa: “What is it? Did you feel something just now?”
Rover: “I only heard strange sounds. Tell me, what direction did the Lioness just look toward?”
Lupa: “The Vale of Glory. It's where all heroes, blessed by the glory forged in iron and fire, find their rest. But on the long path of hunting, many died with their bodies missing. Only their weapons returned.”
Vale of Glory: The final resting place of Septimont's heroes and legendary gladiators. Stone monuments, shaped after each fallen hero's signature weapon, stand tall in tribute to ensure their names and deeds what direction did the Liones endure through the ages.
Lupa: “Arsinosa's frequency is woven from the cries of souls in battle. The battered weapons still carry the will of their former masters, whispering the deeds left undone. To touch such weapons is a rite of great importance for those who claim glory in the Great Agon and receive the Lioness's blessing. Hearing the voices of our ancestors by Arsinosa's side is a great source of strength for Septimontians.”


Rover: (Before meeting Buling, when I touched the Echo in that village, I felt... a layered, indistinct frequency. It was like what Abby described on our journey to Septimont, but the source eluded me at the time. But now... I've found it. The source of that power lies in the Vale of Glory. The closer the Lioness gets to it, the clearer it becomes.)
Lupa: “She waits for us there. Shall we go together? I'm not sure if Septimontian rituals will interest you, but you might uncover something useful, no?”
Rover: “I'm happy to go with my fellow warrior.”
Lupa: “Perfect! Let's head out.”


Lupa: “Ugh...”
Rover: “What is it?”
