Oh goodie, oh goodie, it's the Ascension Festival! Has it only been a year since we last celebrated all the new Daevas? Feels like forever!

The Ascension Festival is my very favouritest celebration. It has the best history--do you know it?

• "A little..."

Used to be that the ascension of a Daeva was a rare enough occasion that each one was celebrated with a big party. These days there are so many that we celebrate all the year's new Daevas on one special day.

There's something special in the air this year--can you feel it? There are so many new Daevas that the Ascension Energy has started crystallizing into tangible form. Maybe you've seen them appearing in your cube, Daeva!

Right here in the big city is where all the people are, and where you can find the most fun. Not to mention the most gift boxes!

• Accept.
• Decline.

Go see Gracia with your Ascension Energy. You never know what might come of it!

• "I will!"

Since it's the Ascension Festival, go and meet Gift Trader Gracia.

Ooh, I bet you've got a lot of Ascension Energy in your cube. I think I can feel it from here!

Or maybe that's the general atmosphere around here. The air is thick with it!

Anyway, if you have some, hand them over.

• "Let me take a look."

More and more Daevas every year means more and more fun for me during the festival, right?

Plus, there'll be more and more to fight on our behalf in the Abyss. Keep up the good work, Daeva!

You were told to visit Gracia, who hands out presents for the Ascension Festival.

You met with Gift Trader Gracia, who told you about Ascension Energy, and traded the energy you'd collected for a festival gift.
