__**The Shimmering Marsh (Satorl Marsh - Zaldania Waterfall)**__ Shulk: This place is… beautiful.\\ Dunban: Some call it the Shimmering Marsh.\\ Shulk: I can see why! Had you ever been here before?\\ Dunban: No. And I’m suitably amazed. How can a place light up so much at night? I’ve never seen anything like it.\\ Shulk: I have. Once, when I was very young.\\ Dunban: __[Maybe it was a dream?]__ –\\ Shulk: It wasn’t a dream. I know it! But… I do remember being asleep for most of it.\\ Dunban: Then it must have been a dream, surely.\\ Shulk: No. It was at the ruins where me and the Monado were found. The same thing happens there. At night, glowing ether fills the air.\\ Dunban: All right, I’m convinced.\\ Shulk: It’s OK. My memory of it’s a little hazy anyway. I assume the effect is caused by high ether content in the ground.\\ Dunban: Ether content?\\ Shulk: Surely you must know something about ether content. How it’s higher in some regions of Bionis than in others?\\ Dunban: __[Especially the lower regions.]__ –\\ Shulk: What? No! It’s the upper regions that have higher ether content!\\ Dunban: Oh. Er… I see.\\ Shulk: Way down where we live, the ether levels are at their lowest. That’s why there aren’t as many rich ether mines.\\ Dunban: Well done, Shulk! You passed my test.\\ Shulk: So you’re saying you were just pretending not to know? Hmm…\\ Dunban: I’m so glad to see this wondrous sight. Aren’t you? I’d just love to spend some more time exploring it… in silence…\\ Shulk: Whatever you say, Dunban.\\ Shulk: This place is… beautiful.\\ Dunban: Some call it the Shimmering Marsh.\\ Shulk: I can see why! Had you ever been here before?\\ Dunban: No. And I’m suitably amazed. How can a place light up so much at night? I’ve never seen anything like it.\\ Shulk: I have. Once, when I was very young.\\ Dunban: __[Maybe it was a dream?]__ –\\ Shulk: It wasn’t a dream. I know it!

At night, glowing ether fills the air.\\ Dunban: All right, I’m convinced.\\ Shulk: It’s OK. My memory of it’s a little hazy anyway. I assume the effect is caused by high ether content in the ground.\\ Dunban: Ether content?\\ Shulk: Surely you must know something about ether content. How it’s higher in some regions of Bionis than in others?\\ Dunban: __[Especially the upper regions.]__ + Right? The upper regions of Bionis are known for their high ether content.\\ Shulk: Correct! You always know the right answer, Dunban.\\ Dunban: Well, everyone knows that one.\\ Shulk: Anyway, the ruins are quite high up on the Bionis.\\ Dunban: Do you remember much about that time?\\ Shulk: I found my way into those ruins but then I lost consciousness. That’s about all I can remember from back then. But for some reason I can just about recall that ether glow.\\ Dunban: I suppose you’d never forget a sight like that.\\ Shulk: This place is… beautiful.\\ Dunban: Some call it the Shimmering Marsh.\\ Shulk: I can see why! Had you ever been here before?\\ Dunban: No. And I’m suitably amazed. How can a place light up so much at night? I’ve never seen anything like it.\\ Shulk: I have. Once, when I was very young.\\ Dunban: __[Really? Interesting.]__ +\\ Shulk: It was at the ruins where me and the Monado were found. The same thing happens there. At night, glowing ether fills the air.\\ Dunban: So that’s where you saw it.\\ Shulk: I don’t remember much about the ruins. I found my way in and then I lost consciousness. That’s about all I can remember from back then, except the light.\\ Dunban: If it was as beautiful as this, no wonder you remember it. Ether is an incredible thing.\\ Shulk: It really is.\\ Dunban: __[It can’t be good for us.]__ –\\ Shulk: Why do you think that? There’s no evidence to support it.\\ Dunban: It’s just a feeling. Nothing more.\\ Shulk: Actually, we haven’t made any big leaps in researching this field. So it’s still possible.\\ Dunban: It was just a passing thought. Don’t take it so seriously, Shulk.\\ Shulk: But you’re right, Dunban. It has to be worth spending more resources to study this.\\ Dunban: Hey, where are you going?\\ Shulk: I’m gonna fetch my notes!\\ Dunban: But we were enjoying this strange phenomenon! You can take the boy out of the lab, but not the lab out of the boy!\\ Shulk: This place is… beautiful.\\ Dunban: Some call it the Shimmering Marsh.\\ Shulk: I can see why! Had you ever been here before?\\ Dunban: No. And I ‘m suitably amazed. How can a place light up so much at night? I’ve never seen anything like it.\\ Shulk: I have. Once, when I was very young.\\ Dunban: __[Really? Interesting.]__ +\\ Shulk: It was at the ruins where me and the Monado were found. The same thing happens there. At night, glowing ether fills the air.\\ Dunban: So that’s where you saw it.\\ Shulk: I don’t remember much about the ruins. I found my way in and then I lost consciousness. That’s about all I can remember from back then, except the light.\\ Dunban: If it was as beautiful as this, no wonder you remember it. Ether is an incredible thing.\\ Shulk: It really is.\\ Dunban: __[Will it ever run out?]__ +\\ Shulk: Good question, Dunban! I’ve always wondered that.\\ Dunban: Great minds think alike. And your thoughts?\\ Shulk: I can’t draw any firm conclusions or anything. All I know is, ether isn’t unlimited. So I guess it won’t last forever.\\ Dunban: I don’t suppose we have anything to worry about in our lifetime.\\ Shulk: Maybe not. But we should still try and find another energy source. We can’t just rely on it always being there.\\ Dunban: Energy aside, it will be a shame when this natural beauty is gone.\\ Shulk: Yes… Whether that’s a hundred years from now or a thousand.
