Maat: It's been a long road to the top, and I'm sure you've had your share of hard times along the way.
I want you to remember back to the very first day you stepped out into the Vana'diel sun. You were still a tiny ant trying to climb a mountain...
But now look at you--riding the clouds to the stars.
But don't think that you've reached the top. Even if you break one limit, there's always another waiting for you. But it's our persistent aiming for the top that makes us great.
However, I'm growing old, and there's not much left to teach you. Our tale together has reached its final chapter, so to speak.
But before we turn the page, I'll need you to bring me Testimony.
What's that look on your face? Rounding up something like that should be no problem for a guy/lady like you!
Wolfgang: Master Maat!
Maat: Wh-wh-what in...!?
Oh, it's you, Wolfgang. I wish you'd stop sneaking up on me like that. It's bad for my heart!
Wolfgang: It is time, sir.
Maat: Oh, yes. Of course.
Wolfgang: Sir, you are not still bothering adventurers with your games, are you?
Maat: Games? You should talk, Wolfgang. Why, Player Name here could slice you up and eat you for breakfast.
Wolfgang: Yes, sir...
Now, we must be off. I will meet you at the gate when you arrive.
Maat: I'm sorry about the interruption. Anyway, you go get me that Testimony. While you're doing that, I'll finish my business with Wolfgang.
Maat: That wasn't so hard now, was it?
I bet you're wondering why I keep having you travel around the globe, collecting all these rare and obscure items for me.
Heh heh heh. I know what you're thinking. You're sick and tired of playing fetch for old Maat. You want a chance to show me what you're really made of.
Well, now that you mention it, I think I'd be delighted to test your might with my own hands.
I may look old, but I still have a lot of spunk in me. I can take anything and everything you've got.
What do you say? You'll get your chance to get back at me for all the trouble I've put you through, and I'll get some good exercise.
Challenge Maat?
- You bet!
- I'm not ready to hit the mat.
Huh? You're not afraid of an old man now, are you? Well, I guess I can give you a little more time to prepare. You can call it a handicap. Heh heh heh.
