Each yellow leaf that falls is telling us of autumn's return. A bleak winter is just around the corner, bringing death and despair. A maple leaf used as a bookmark...Isn't it cute? The book immediately opens at the page it's in...(in other words, it's a useless old leaf) A special pen was used to write notes in this notebook. Perhaps a power unseen has caused the letters to fade. At this point the notes are unreadable. The once faded letters are now gone completely. Nothing is left but crisp white sheets of paper. It looks like a brand new, unused notebook. When gripped lightly, the pen begins writing regardless of the holder's will. Seeming to have a will of its own, this pen madly scribbles down future events. Though fully aware that writing down the problem won't solve anything, this pen writes selfishly in the direction it pleases, constantly defying the holder, and writing complaints. A special notebook that's powered by a prophet's magic and reveals Magnus that have changed over time (can only be used in camp). A brand new item in the Magnus menu! I'm exhausted. How am I supposed to work like this? We've taken 132 takes and he still can't get it right. The line is so simple...it's a lack of motivation! A rare horn in its original shape. Unicorn horns are often carved with a knife into some other pattern or shape. This baby is a work of art just as it is. A rare unicorn-horn bugle. Produces a high pitch sound when blown, echoing throughout the mountains. A very nice jewelry box with the name "Jill" etched in gold. Maybe the best thing to do is find Jill and return it. Although your search for Jill was fruitless, you found Jack in the box. His psychotic clown garb is enough to make you run for cover! Such a cute widdle piggy bank with cute widdle eyes and a spinning tail! It's empty now, but give it time and money will magically save up! A plump piggy bank. Too full to fit anymore money in the belly. So heavily loaded that just holding it will make you jump with joy, anticipating how much is inside. A broken piggy bank with its contents spilled out everywhere. It got too greedy and bit off more than it could chew. Moderation is the key to happiness. A pot filled to the brim with air. In other words...empty. Use Wind Yell Lv 1 on an enemy several times after using Pot of Air to increase 1 level. An emblem portraying a black cloud. Looks like rain clouds are approaching from the west and rain's starting to fall. Staring at this too long will cloud up your heart and make you feel gloomy. An emblem with an umbrella on it. Rain blesses the earth and grows the crops. When light streams through the mist, it will blossom into a beautiful rainbow. This arc of dreams in the sky offers an entrance to fairyland. Use Wind Yell Lv 2 on an enemy several times after using the Rainbow Emblem to upgrade 1 level. Just a simple fried egg, also called "sunny-side up." That classic and delicious taste. Thank you, chicken...thank you. A Sculpting Knife is often used for whittling or sculpting various works of art. Often used with wood, but a veteran could use it to carve great art out of anything. The result of a failed marriage. All the Ts are crossed and the Is are dotted. All that's needed now is a signature from John Hancock's Pen. Where is that thing... Horn of the mighty Pegasus. But is it the real thing? Perhaps it's only good for poking your friends when they don't shut up. A fancy pen ideal for signing documents, autographs, or whatever else might be waiting for a John Hancock. Whether to settle a score, shut someone up, or in this case, finalize a divorce, sometimes it takes a healthy sum of money to make things better. Wrapped in a hard shell, which serves as its armor. Were it any bigger, it might have been a fearful creature. Large beetles are very valuable. Peanuts are the poor man's snack, but if lightly salted and roasted like these, they are enough to please anyone. They go great with beer, too. Tasty chunks of chicken barbequed to perfection and poked on a skewer. Seasoned with salt and spices, a chicken kebab and peanuts go great with beer. Must've been overcooked. Too late to do anything about it now. Eating charred meat could be hazardous to your health. Fresh fish grilled to a light brown. Though filled with bones and having a bitter taste, the oily belly's rich flavor makes up for it all. Freshly baked potato found in the ashes of the fire. The steam that rises from the broken skins makes your mouth water. Two weeks of constant use has resulted in amazingly moist and lively hair. To reward your patience, all the game music will be turned on and made available for your listening pleasure. A pen that draws the world in numerous perspectives from Sci-Fi to fantasy. It is said that using it along with a tri-Crescendo Pen brings out more strength and creativity. The name of some software company is etched on the side. Use this pen to write and the ink will leak out all over. Hey you! Don't be thinking you can trash this pen! Brochure with Monolith Software printed on the cover. Nothing written inside. Its contents are said to change from good to bad, depending on the reader. You wanna work for us? It gets pretty hectic! You may want to look somewhere else. You don't mind, eh? In that case, check out our website. Paper fans are essential for surviving a sticky summer. If the world didn't have any paper fans, Chicken Kebab joints would go out of business. Soft-boiled eggs are really difficult to cook just right. Wait too long and the yolk gets hard. Then you can't call it a soft-boiled egg! Broiled carefully over a charcoal flame, this is quite a culinary masterpiece. Not too rich and not at all bland, just very, very good. Skipjack lightly grilled over a charcoal fire. Fresh red in the center to pink near the skin is a sign that it's been cooked with care. Simply scrumptious. Not much as a weapon, but its sharp edge can cut fairly well. Perfect size for shaving ice or whittling wood. Listen up good. I've devoted my life to finding special combos, and I've decided to write 'em down for future generations—in the form of secret recipes! It's my life's work, so read carefully! Let's start simple. How to cook tasty rice: Get a pot, put rice in it, add water, and put it over a flame. What's that? You ain't got a pot? Well then, find the next closest thing, and use that! Come to think of it, I forgot to tell ya. Get a pot, put the rice in, and add water like before. But then after that, place some charcoal down, and then use fire. That combo makes BETTER rice! Put some strawberries down, add sugar, and torch 'em. That combo makes some mighty fine strawberry jam. Slop it on some bread for a taste of heaven! By golly, how time flies. We're already on the fifth secret recipe. Now I'd like to tell y'all about my hound dog Blue...no, that won't do..uh...okay now, let's get back on track here... Sorry about the last recipe. Kinda got off track there. I'll make up for it. By the way, I've got a lot less hair than I used to. Gotta make sure to use conditioner, and that hair dryin' gadget... I love gettin' fortunes. If I get a Great Fortune, I feel happy as a lark all day. I take them things seriously, I tell ya. I wonder what my lucky color will be... "Raw wheat with raw rice requires raw egg for light red rouge." This tongue twister is actually a special combo. Speaking from my vast romantic experience, I'll tell you what...listen to her. Just lend an ear, and keep on sendin' love letters, and eventually she'll warm up to ya. Suppose I got a little off track with those "recipes," but I'm sure you got somethin' out of 'em, right? What? A splitting headache? Blah! Overcooked to a crisp black. It's hardly recognizable as fish now. You might as well call it charcoal. Use lower heat next time. This used to be perfectly good ice cream, but you didn't eat it fast enough, so now it's a sticky mess. No time for regret. Soybeans are packed with protein. These can be served in various ways, but stinky beans raised in straw are the best. Magical black liquid goes well with just about anything. Don't use too much, though—it's pretty salty. Spread it on a rice ball and toast it for a toasted rice ball treat! These stalks were left behind after the grain harvest. This straw turns into a wicked straw voodoo doll if trapped by a dark curse. Fermented soybeans may smell bad, but they're chock full of protein, healthy, and delicious. All in all these stretchy beans are a blessing in disguise. An organically grown, ripe avocado. Some say a drop of soy sauce makes it taste like fatty tuna. What a bizarre concept! High-quality slabs of tuna seasoned by the sea. Rich and oily, this fish will melt in your mouth. It's truly addictive. Some say soy sauce over custard pudding tastes like sea urchin. A new way to enjoy sea urchin at a reasonable price. Try it, but there's no guarantee you'll like it. This is top-quality sea urchin. Naturally seasoned in the ocean, it has a smooth and rich flavor. Some have gone so far to say it's like butter! Seven types of vegetables pickled and seasoned to perfection. Red pickled veggies go great with curry dishes. Honey, sweet honey. It has that wholesome taste that sugar just can't offer. Believe it or not, pour a little honey on cheese, and it tastes like chestnuts! I'm serious! Sweet chestnuts. Their hard shells keep in the flavor and nutrients. There's something about the sound of shells cracking that just makes you want to crack open more! Crisp, juicy cucumbers. Breaking one creates a popping sound and reveals the juicy center. Do they really taste like melons if you add honey? Superb flavor with 27 types of spices. Tastes good as it is, but letting it sit overnight makes it even better, and gives it a rich flavor. Thoroughly cooked and richly flavored with spices, but it's lacking a certain tart/sweet appeal. Try adding something else to capture those flavors. Exhibiting a tart apple flavor and the mild sweetness of honey, it ranks up there with the best. A multitude of flavors taking turns on your tongue means you'll never get tired of it. Cured marble bacon with a savory appeal. Fry it up for a crispy, delicious snack. Raise it up into a healthy green bamboo tree, or sink your teeth into this tender bamboo shoot for a taste of spring. Young, green bamboo. Gluing rice paper to young bamboo sticks makes a nice paper fan. If there's no glue, then rice paste should do the trick. The sweetest, tastiest meat is found around the ribs. Cook up this choice pork for a rich, zesty, and delightful meal. One pencil with two colors, red and blue. One end has a blue tip and the other has a red one. Clever little invention, isn't it? Whoever suggested making the red side longer is brilliant. The trick is to roll fresh cucumbers on the cutting board to smooth their surface before pickling them. One bite will fill you with zest. Letting the pickled cukes sit for a long while gives them a refined quality. Only time can bring out such a wonderful flavor. First stomach of a cow. The thick part is considered good beef and very popular for its unique flavor. Don't forget to chew it well. Second stomach of a cow. Also called a "honeycomb" due to its shape. Extremely chewy, though boiling softens it and adds a little flare to its otherwise bland flavor. Third stomach of a cow. Also called a "fern" due to its leaf-shaped folds inside. The folds have a unique texture, but not much flavor. Fourth stomach of a cow. This is the last of the cow's stomachs. Very popular for its fatty, richly-flavored meat, which has lots of chewy folds. That's right, it's ox tongue—fresh, nutritious, and low in fat. Make sure to cook it well before eating, though. The vivid color and fragrance of this wine stimulate the appetite. Its elegant flavor is truly a blessing to the tastebuds. A bottle of un-drunk wine from yesterday with no cork. Even its label seems faded. The awful taste will drive you nuts. Strawberries squashed with a spoon, mixed with sugar and milk. Pink, sweet, nutritious, and delicious. It's good...and good for you! Red strawberry syrup stands out vividly on the white, slushy ice. Ice and syrup should be eaten in a balanced manner so you're not left with a bunch of sticky sweet syrup. Has more of a high-class taste than strawberry. If you find someone eating a strawberry one, don't hesitate to yell, "Down with the commoners!" There's nothing like a bouquet of pretty flowers to cheer up someone sick in bed. Terribly dry and withered. If placed on a fire, they'd burn to a crisp in no time. No value as ornamental flowers. Send them to someone you care nothing for. A basket of freshly picked fruits—straight from the orchard. A sweet smell hangs over it. Various kinds of fruit are included. The perfect gift to send to someone that's helped you out recently. Giving off a moldy, rotten smell. Small bugs are attracted to it and buzzing about. Sending it to someone would be terribly rude. You wouldn't dare! A tasty meal at a great price, featuring a variety of freshly sliced fish. Presented with such a gorgeous spread, it's hard to decide which tantalizing goody to eat first. Sashimi that was forgotten and left behind. The fish has produced a juice with a putrid odor, penetrating the sealed package. Don't even think about opening it! Seasonal fish selected at the fish market, sliced intricately, and carefully arranged by a fine gourmet chef. Rotten sashimi placed in a boat dish. Putrid and disgraceful. Contains all the nutrition required for the most important meal of the day. A good day starts with a good breakfast. I've always liked you. I've always longed for you. I can no longer resist this feeling of mine that's deeper than the ocean and hotter than the sun... You're being a slinky snake. You know how I feel about you, yet you're seeing someone else. I even get jealous when I see you with your family or a friend... I'll give up anything for you. My family, friends, wealth...I don't care if the whole world hates me. I only want you to live solely for me... I know everything about you...what you're wearing, what you're thinking, what time you come home...I won't sleep...till you are with me... Girl: "I've never loved anyone this much before..." Girl: "I've never loved anyone this much before..." Boy: "Me neither. I'll get you a nice gift for your birthday." Girl: "I've never loved anyone this much before..." Boy: "Me neither. I'll get you a nice gift for your birthday." Girl: "First pay me back for last week's dinner." Boy: "You are the worst kind of woman!" A drawing scribbled in red and blue. Some say that a child's hidden talents can be found in doodles. But this mess is hopeless... This voodoo doll has been used in cursing ceremonies. Evil invocations not being enough for a successful curse, hair from the victim must be placed inside the doll. Pickled eggplant chunks of a brilliant navy blue. Their moist texture and sour taste will make anyone drool. They go well with curry. This money is all that's left after losing everything. Mementos from the past can never be replaced. Still, thank heavens for insurance... It's almost been used up. Funny how only the blue remains, even though the red part was longer. They may look like miniature apples, but they're actually plums. Harmful to eat like this, but pickling them removes toxins and even makes them an antidote to poisons! A healthy, free-range rooster. It's hard not to be thrown out of bed by its shrill crow. Yummy...Oops, did I say that out loud? This paper was made from natural plant fibers. Its uses vary because it's strong, durable, and breathes well. Very rare indeed. One nibble on this seed creates an instant headache. Just try to ignore the pain and let it pass. Stylish, light-red lipstick. Enables the wearer to speak eloquently and move quickly. For Xelha and Savyna only. Not for you, Gibari! This beautiful, extra fluffy rice was cooked with care and tastes better than normal rice. How could rice taste so sweet? I envy anyone who has a chance to eat this heavenly rice. Pickled plum wrapped with a slab of eel. It must look yummy, but don't forget the old saying, "pickled plums and eel don't mix." Eat at your own risk. Freshly baked bread smells wonderful. Follow your nose to the bakery. Fresh bread with strawberry jam and milk make a great breakfast! They always say that mixing drinks is a bad idea, but this concoction somehow looks promising. Sweet jam packed with strawberries. Great on bread. Compared to a Japanese breakfast, this is light and easy. A healthy and refreshing alternative for those on the go. Unique flavor abounds in this great curry dish packed with exotic herbs and spices. It's spicy, but tasty. Easy to cook and very satisfying. Popular with everyone. Just the right blend of spices make this curry of the utmost quality. Pickled veggies make a great garnish. I didn't think anyone had the guts to try such a wild combo. What a waste of bread and sea urchin. Sure to ruin the appetite of anyone who tries it. Soft and silky to the touch. This nicely groomed hair gives off a pleasant scent when blowing in the wind. It'll knock your socks off! These angelic strands of hair shimmer like light from a halo. As if fine strands of silk, just looking at this hair will make you want to reach out and touch it. This paper contains the mark of death. It's more than enough to curse and kill an enemy. Just stick it to an enemy's forehead, and the fear of death becomes too overwhelming to bear. Steamed rice mixed with wild sea bream. Simple, yet very tasty. Regarded as a lucky dish. Salted guts of fresh sweetfish. Mild, yet bitter taste is appetizing for adults. Goes perfectly well with Japanese Rice Wine. Boy: "You are the worst kind of woman!" Girl: "What have I done?!" Boy: "You are the worst kind of woman!" Girl: "What have I done?!" Boy: "You double-dipped your chips at the restaurant! I hate that!" The perfect balance of sashimi and rice melts in your mouth! Sushi of this caliber is a treat which only a select few are able to experience. Savor it! Makes you sick if you eat it. The poison leads to death unless you have the proper antidote. Get treatment immediately if you eat this. An extraordinary sweatband. Crafted with the greatest care, it brings out the untapped mental strength of those who wear it. It also absorbs sweat. Get fired up and ready to bust some heads. Look like a karate champ! An essential element to keep your hair out of your face at virtually any karate tournament.

Habitat: Phantom Goldoba Magnus 1042 L comment unprocessed Magnus 1043 L comment unprocessed Malpercio's power has brought Fadroh close to the pinnacle of evil. He even has a high-ranking appeal among the forces of darkness. Encountered in: Imperial Fortress A former citizen resurrected into darkness by the power of Malpercio. Made extra aggressive with his former hatred and bitterness caused by Operation Sweep. Encountered in: Nihal Desert Soldier serving at the Imperial capital, Mintaka. His main duty is to police the area and maintain security. Well-trained and very strong! Appearance: Mintaka City Senior soldier and guard of the Imperial city. Popular among women because of his dignified look, stable income, and nice uniform. Of course, very strong! Appearance: Mintaka City Jelly-like creature that lurks about the Tower of DRUAGA. Looks tasty, but doesn't actually taste like a melon! Habitat: Tower of DRUAGA A crystal life-form that doesn't exist in our world. Looks quite solid, but looks can be deceiving. Truly a rare specimen! Habitat: Nunki Valley Tentacle of the Tree Guardian watching over the End Magnus in Anuenue. Very skillful and slithery!

Unappreciated by circles throughout the world, the artist's autograph does little to increase its minimal value. A trendy pickup line, popular among the young, used to win the hearts of cautious members of the opposite gender. Pickup line that is seldom heard in this day and age, let alone recommended. Guaranteed to turn away even the least cautious members of the opposite gender. The innocent, peaceful thoughts of a girl untainted by Imperial doctrines. The purity of her heart holds the power to calm people's hatred towards the Empire. Magnus 1146 L comment unprocessed Magnus 1147 L comment unprocessed A well-kept secret—bane and blessing of the curious. Yet secrets are never secrets for long... Passed around a network of acquaintances, all swearing not to tell anyone, this former secret is now anything but. An empty Magnus waiting to be imbued with the Magna Essence of some object or another. It is considered impossible to contain living creatures within a Magnus. Crystal clear water. This level of pure water is not available in many places in the world. Water can turn stagnant, and should be used or consumed as soon as possible. Though still fit for drinking, this water has turned stagnant. Even pure water can go stale over time. Bottled water aficionados would have none of this. Indispensable for everyday life, strong fires can be carried around or stored as Magnus, and used for light, cooking, you name it. Flames tend to weaken with time, though. A flame that has weakened over time. Suitable for all but industrial or extreme purposes. A dairy product characteristic of Cebalrai, this milk is richer than milk from other animals, and is often used for cooking. It can also be left alone and fermented to produce other dairy products. Diadem is known for its abundance of clouds, and some sources suggest the clouds be placed under legal protection. One reason for this may be the radical gourmets claiming to appreciate their taste... A seed from the Celestial Tree, said to bloom once every 30 years. The last blooming was 2 cycles ago, making this seed quite valuable at roughly 100 years old. A bud from the Celestial Tree. Its delicate color is highly valued in Anuenue, traditionally used in weddings for the bride's wedding gown. A flower from the Celestial Tree, in full bloom. Its petals are said to be imbued with the magic of the Tree itself, and are often ground into powder to create healing concoctions. An egg from a duck-like animal often seen in Sadal Suud. Popular breakfast food among people of all classes, these eggs tend to generate heat and cook themselves over time. Separated from its parent, this egg has cooked itself over time with internal heat. Radical gourmets claim to love the peculiar taste it offers. Snow collected in the Ice Lands of Wazn. Though powdery when falling, this snow hardens over time and forms pure, rigid crystals often used as material for Wazn's famous ice sculptures. With temperatures said to reach 1000 degrees Celsius, the beautiful color and rich appearance of lava compels radical gourmets to have a quick taste, though none have been known to ask for seconds. A truly mundane pebble, available practically anywhere. Considered of little value and a waste of space. A fillet from a sea bream, the main catch among Nashira's fishing folk. A chief Diadem export, the reasonable price tag makes this a must for the average citizen's dining table. A sea bream fillet left too long at room temperature. Unfit for eating and often thrown away entirely. Strangely enough, this fish never smells bad even when rotten. Fermented Pow milk. Good as is, also used for cooking. Popular as a dessert among kids. Further aging is also an option. Derived from Pow milk yogurt, this cheese is a specialty of the Sadal Suud Frontier. Often enjoyed with another local specialty, mountain apple wine. Rubber-like mud that flows through the Garden of Death in Duhr, a mixture of mud and black sap from trees corrupted by the Taintclouds. Hardened rubber mud looks and acts exactly like regular rubber. Not very useful in itself, yet who knows...it just might come in handy. An old shell from the Gold Beetle, known only to live around the Celestial Tree in Anuenue. Highly valued for its magnificent gold sheen, yet collectors prefer to keep these until... Previously a magical Gold Beetle shell, now a gold nugget. Considered of a higher value than regular, mined gold, these natural gems are traded at astounding prices among select merchants. Diadem's trademark clouds turn back into water, given enough time. The original clouds contained salt, hence the salty taste of this water. Leave salty water lying around long enough, and you'll be left with salt. Indispensable for cooking, not to mention everyday health. A chief product of Nashira, together with sea bream fillets. Lava from the Lava Caves in Alfard, now cool enough to touch. The rock retains part of its heat, and can be wrapped up in thick cloth and used to keep warm in freezing temperatures. Used for various purposes ranging from everyday cuisine to Imperial Iron Beetle fuel, its unique taste has sparked many an argument among radical gourmets. A dried, nameless flower. Flowers will wither if left alone, but retain their form if dried and preserved. The mountain apple industry, along with dairy farming, is widespread in and around Cebalrai village in Sadal Suud. Tasty as is, but can also be left alone and fermented... Mountain Apple Wine has fermented further to produce vinegar. Apple Vinegar has stronger sterilizing effects than regular vinegar, and is used for first aid as well as cooking. Tokens of the noble warriors who gave their lives to protect Xelha. Though mementos may be lost over time, the memories of their owners are everlasting. Tokens of the noble warriors who gave their lives to protect Xelha. Gram's armlet is inscribed with his wife's name, and Leon's pendant holds his wife's photo. A magical pick axe used to tear down golden walls, with limited use due to its weakened magic. Silver and copper variants are known to exist, though not in this world. The crest of the royal family of Diadem sports a design combining knights, a sword, and Wings of the Heart. A mere glimpse of this crest is enough to rally the Diadem Knights in any situation. An ancient picture book with a heartwarming tale. Said to have been created by an anonymous author before the islands left the Earth for the Sky. Once property of the Ancient Library of Magic. Two unlikely opponents of Imperial might—a boy who refuses to give up, and a girl who stands by him throughout. The author is said to have fled Alfard. Once property of the Ancient Library of Magic. The body of a blue-winged bird found in Moonguile Forest. Said to bring good luck, this bird is sought after by many. A novel that was banned upon publication because of its...ahem...radical content. Once property of the Ancient Library of Magic. High-quality rock salt, a product of the desert village of Azha. It is often used in pastries due to its subtle sweetness, with the village of Parnasse leading yearly consumption by far. Illusionary grass seen only in the Mystical Garden in Mira, which disappears into thin air shortly after being uprooted. Bone from the head of a Thunderfish, said to have died out ages ago. There's bound to be someone in this world who would be interested in such a rare specimen. A specialty of Cebalrai, the main market for mountain apple wine is in and around the city of Pherkad, but exports have started going to other regions, including Diadem and Mira. A nameless flower found blooming in non-descript places, its pretty looks soothe a tired mind nevertheless. Created with Imperial technology, these tubes can be detonated with a fuse, destroying nearby objects with the resulting blast. Why Larikush, a village doctor, would possess these is anyone's guess. This snow is purer than normal snow, hence its sparkling sheen. In regions where ice sculptures are popular, some craftsmen insist on using this type of snow for their work. A painting by the self-proclaimed painter Misjah, who considers it a masterpiece. Unappreciated by circles throughout the world; in short, it's terrible. Will trouble anyone who receives it as a gift. A rare stone, found occasionally within Zosma Tower, in Duhr. Not especially valuable, but rumor has it that a certain old man is dying to get his hands on this stone. An entire bird cooked whole, survival style. Its simple seasoning is increasingly popular among youngsters who appreciate the all-natural flavor of the ingredients. Roasted poultry gone bad, rotten and filled with maggots. Eating this is out of the question, and there's no other way this could come in handy...or is there? The genealogy of Quzman, an old man who claims his days are numbered. All the blanks must be filled in by his relatives, once they agree to visit him back in Pherkad. A premium work of art by the renowned Misjah. Neglected at first, her style was recognized over time. Her work now carries exorbitant price tags, sought after by collectors and curators worldwide.

It's a precious token of their marriage. Rainbow-hued silk from the spider-like Nunkirantula encountered in Nunki Valley. It's a favorite of collectors worldwide. A key to the guestroom in Lord Rodolfo's Mansion. The untrusting Rodolfo has been known to lock in his guests. A letter from King Ladekahn to Queen Corellia of Anuenue. The envelope is sealed with the royal seal of Diadem. A key which allows access to the Geography Section of the Ancient Library of Magic, sealed away for some unknown reason.

"Introduction to the Myriad Joys of Reading," a work by the Head Librarian himself. This work never saw wide publication. A gift from the principal at the School of Magic, this stone is required for safe passage through the Holoholo Jungle. Near-legendary treats with a Celestial Flower Seed ground up and mixed in with the ingredients. If these are offered to the Guardian Angel in prayer, wishes are said to be granted. Found at the heart of the Celestial Tree, the "Che" End Magnus shines brightly with a golden glint. A secret ingredient treasured by Master Tisocco. Pow milk from Sadal Suud, flavored with Mirage Weed from Mira. A secret ingredient treasured by Miss Donella, who has practically bought out the local supply. Money talks. The residual power from one of the End Magnus, materialized in the form of a shadowy version of a regular Magnus. A chunk of mysterious ice found in the Lava Caves in Alfard. Withstands high temperatures and cools whatever it touches. One half of a pair of compasses which point toward each other, and help find water. Its counterpart is owned by Azdar. Allows access to the sanctum in the Garden of Death, where the Sword of the Heavens has been kept for generations. A key which allows use of the elevator inside the Imperial Fortress. Issued to a select few within the Imperial Army. Unlocks cells within the Fortress. Blind faith in the cells' security led to major layoffs in security personnel. Allows access to the mines. Though the key itself was left lying around, none considered taking it for some reason. These boots allow the wearer to move at twice the usual speed. Thoroughly tested, and ergonomically designed for maximum comfort. A gift from the Golden Hero, this sword is the ideal prop for adventurous escapades of all kinds. A necklace which grants total immunity to Fire Elementals when worn, endorsed by the Golden Hero himself. A ring which grants total immunity to Blue Will-o'-Wisps when worn, endorsed by the Golden Hero himself. This balance allows the Golden Hero to temporarily alter the weight of red and blue stones. Pow milk is a chief export of Sadal Suud, enjoyed by aficionados worldwide. The pow itself is docile and playful. A strange creature which prefers thin air, hence its high-altitude habitats. Stores oxygen in horn-shaped "wind bags" on its head. A dark-colored variant of the caplin much sought after by collectors worldwide, further reinforcing its rarity... A winged, horse-like animal bred chiefly in Sadal Suud as a beast of burden. They actually prefer cooler climates. Small birds with deteriorated wings that move by hopping around. Live in groups and occasionally peck passers-by. Not only do they look grumpy, behavioral studies illustrate these creatures' cynical outlook on the environment. Timid and cowardly, these creatures are prized pets of the egomaniacal subset of pet owners. Once highly popular as pets among Imperial citizens, only owned by a recluse few nowadays. Preferring desert environments, these creatures are often seen near an oasis, and are quite ferocious when provoked. Highly prized among Imperial citizens, the exorbitant price tags on these creatures frustrate the less wealthy buyers. A mysterious avian which floats on both air and water, tougher than it looks and seen mainly in the village of Opu. Originally found in Wazn, this creature was thought extinct, hence the popularity of the one discovered in Balancoire. Easy to scare yet quick to forget their fears, these creatures are often cared for by younger members of the family. The white-colored females of this species are bred for their feathers, while the males provide tender meat. The ducklings of this species are born with brown feathers, with the females growing white feathers later on. Often seen in Pherkad, these avians feed mainly on clouds, though Diadem's offerings seem too salty for their tastes. Named after their characteristic clucking sounds, these birds are a chief source of protein for the people of Duhr.

Before people began to dwell in the Sky, a terrible war was waged between us humans and the wicked god. After the horrendous battle, our ancestors entombed the wicked god, and left the polluted and barren earth to find a future in the Sky. In this world, there are things that people mustn't touch. Who cares! The god of demise and destruction, the cursed power of Malpercio... The End Magnus? Never heard of that before. Damn! The bastards!! It's unthinkable! To act against the Empire?! Us heroes, we have so much to do! I've been waiting. Kill him! If left alone, he will prove a threat to my Empire. Kalas!! Let us trust the young... Just one more. ...who hold the spirit within them. The struggle alone will fill a great emptiness within you, and ease your pain. How long have you known? C'mon Gibari! Move it! Go away! Our only hope is the long, lost Ocean... Awaken! Ancient god of destruction!! ...Aahahahahahahaha!! Now... Be what you've always dreamed to be! Someday you will know, who you really are. GKBJ AF Reading Game Disc... The Disc Cover is open.

The Celestial Tree, in Anuenue, is host to a dreadful power, hidden deep within its core.

Before long, you will play your part in a great struggle over this power.

The struggle alone will fill a great emptiness within you, and ease your pain...

Is this who brought me here? Uh-huh! Meemai's really cool.

He's way smarter than all the drunks you see around here, and helpful, too. I see...

Well, thanks, Meemai. I owe you one. Meemai Squeak. Girl Are you a traveler, too? I came to see the ancient ruins in the woods near here. How about you? Me? Well, I... I have to go... Bye, little guy. See ya, Meemai. I have a name, ya know? C - E - D - R. Cedr! Cedr They're crazy, huh, Meemai? Why bother going all the way down there just to see some stupid old ruins?

Nobody in this village will even go near those woods. They say it's cursed, or somethin'.

I hope they don't get jumped by wild animals out there,

like someone else did... Yeah, really. Ancient ruins in Moonguile Forest, eh? Why don't we go have a look ourselves? Good day to you!

Don't let the rural surroundings mislead you!

We only carry Magnus of the utmost quality. Remember, a Magnus is created by extracting the Magna Essence of an object from its physical property...

...and sealing it in a card.

How would you feel if you opened up a Magnus... and the object crumbled in your hands? You wouldn't be too happy, my friend.

Am I right? Never forget Rule Number One—Buy your Magnus from a decent source, from people you can trust! In other words, us!

Our Magnus are as fresh as can be!

Believe me, our goods will satisfy.

You're a lucky man, as we're currently having a sales promotion! Prices don't get any cheaper than this!

Come in, come on in! Take a look, take your pick. Maynee ...He's late, far too late...

It's been three days since he set out...

He should be back by now...

Maybe something awful happened... No, he should be fine!

He must have met an old friend down there or something, and that's what's been keeping him.

Yeah, that must be it... I hope. You're a traveler, aren't you? Did you meet my husband down in the city?

His name is Aljeemo.

Medium height, slim build, nice smile... I've met him. Sorry. Doesn't ring a bell. Really? Where was he?! What was he doing?! Why in the world didn't he...

What? It wasn't him?

*sigh* Don't get my hopes up like that!

What could've happened to him... I didn't think so... I wonder what he's up to. Say, if you happen to see my hubby, would you give him this and tell him to come home right away?

I'd really appreciate it.

His name is Aljeemo. Don't forget..."Aljeemo." Thank you so much, I'm anxious to hear from him. Maynee's Pendant All righty. Let's go have a look at Moonguile Forest, shall we?

I'd like to check out those ancient ruins. The villagers seem to have a fear of the woods, but I think they're making a big deal out of nothing.

Mere superstition, I tell you. Hey, relax! You won't catch me off guard this time. Hmm? What's up, ? Is something troubling you? Let's go see Larikush. Never mind. Yeah, right. The doctor wanted to see us. Let's go see him. I see. Oh, wait. Dr. Larikush wanted to see us. Let's go meet him. A sweet, yet sour smell wafts your way from the barrel. You should thank him, mister. You're still alive thanks to Meemai. Hee hee hee. I love animals. Have you ever petted a Pow? You'll find some more in the stable.

They're not as smart as Meemai, but Pows and Prancers are clever animals, too.

I help my parents take care of them until they're ready to be shipped to Pherkad.

I love my Pows. I hope the people in Pherkad treat them nicely. Hey mister! I was gettin' worried about Meemai... He just disappeared all of a sudden.

Looks like he's been with you all along, huh? He seems to like you!

Hmm...okay, I've made up my mind! You can keep him if you want. I have my Pows to keep me company. Hee hee hee. I love animals. Have you ever petted a Pow? If you want to, there are some in the stable.

They're not as smart as Meemai, but Pows and Prancers are clever animals, too.

I help my parents take care of them until they're ready to be shipped to Pherkad.

I love my Pows. I hope the people in Pherkad treat them nicely. Oh, you finally found it! Huh? Why is Meemai hiding in your clothes...

Ha ha ha, I get it. Meemai prefers you to that stinky Kalas! Huh? How come you're not with Kalas anymore?

What's the matter? You look sad...

Did I say anything to hurt you? Hey there, you two! So, you're traveling together again.

You both look happier than ever.

Hee hee. You guys make it so obvious, anyone can tell. I think Pows and Prancers are really cute; heck, I love all animals.

It's exciting to think about all the animals I still haven't seen. You've been to Pherkad, right?

How are my Pows being treated? Are they being pampered by the people there? Are they living happily? Um...Well... Of course... They seem happy...

Sorry. I was kind of too busy to notice. I'll have a look when I go there next time. Hee hee hee. It's okay. Don't worry.

I know they're being loved. They're so cute, I bet people can't help but love them. Someday, I'm gonna visit Pherkad too and say hi to my Pows. Hee hee. Magnus, Magnus, get your Magnus right here! Come inside and take a look at our fresh selection.

The lady who sells them ain't too spry...

But the Magnus we have are as fresh as they come. Magnus, Magnus, get your Magnus right here! An unidentified battleship and an abducted girl...Sure sounds like trouble's brewin' to me!

If you wanna stock up for the journey, I can suggest a shop with a nice selection...My shop actually. Hey traveler, if you need to get prepared for a long journey, I know a good shop...My shop actually. Traveling isn't as safe as it used to be. You know the old saying, "He was one Magnus short of staying alive."

Don't let that saying be true for you. I suggest you stop by my shop and stock up. I don't know why, but kids seem to come to the shop in droves these days.

I sense the dawn of a new era for the Magnus merchant vocation.

So how about it there, traveler? Come buy somethin' from my shop, okay? Any luck? Did you meet him in the city? I see... Oh...I wonder what's taking him so long... *sigh*...I hope he's all right... He must be okay...right? My husband hasn't come back from the city. Do you have any idea what could be keeping him? *sign*...Aljeemo, where are you... This is my hubby. Isn't he a handsome guy? I was worried sick about him, but now he's back, safe and sound.

He must be exhausted after such a long trip. I'm going to make sure he gets a good night's rest tonight. Oh, he's been gone way too long. Something must've happened... Aljeemo... My husband came back! He said he just had a little trouble getting his shopping done.

I feel silly since I got all worked up for nothing. I had a feeling it was only something minor like this.

Oh, before I forget, can I get my pendant back from you? I feel a little silly for getting so worried. My husband came back! He said you gave him my pendant. Thank you so very much.

Uh-huh. He told me all about it. He seemed to have gotten into some trouble in the city...But I don't blame him.

I'm glad to know he trusts me enough to tell me everything. Besides, I'm just overjoyed he came home safely.

Please accept this as a token of our thanks. Shampoo I'm just glad my husband came back to me unharmed. Aljeemo Thanks to you, I was able to open up, and tell my wife everything. You're looking at a changed man. Thanks for bailing me out back in Pherkad. Hey, uh...my wife doesn't know about the gambling...Can we just keep this between us? Traveler, have you been to Nunki Valley to the east of this village?

Be careful, if you're headed there. Not unlike Moonguile Forest, hideous monsters are said to lurk in the valley.

What's more, the recent landslides have completely blocked off the route through Nunki Valley to Pherkad.

It wouldn't do you much good to go there now. Unfortunately, the only path to Pherkad, the Ancient Capital, is through treacherous Nunki Valley.

Villagers have to risk their lives just to go buy supplies or sell their wares in the city. Moonguile Forest is really getting dangerous. I heard that a traveler was found unconscious there just the other day.

It only takes a few minutes on foot to get to the forest, west of this village. My boyfriend and I like to meet there in secret. It's the only place around here we can spend time together, just the two of us, you know?

Please don't tell the village mayor about our trysts. We villagers have been forbidden to enter the forest. I've never seen the mayor so furious. I was really scared...

I didn't realize that going to Moonguile Forest was such a serious offense...

You'd better stay away from the village, until things calm down a little anyway. I've never seen the village mayor so furious...I'll have to stay away from the Forest now, too. Oh, I see the young girl is okay. A brave young man saves the life of a beloved girlfriend...How romantic! What? No no no, you've got it all wrong. It's nothing like that... We just happened to be in the same place at the same time, that's all. Well, Kalas, thanks for "just happening" to be there for me. *snicker* Let's get going. (Yeah...I've got business to take care of. There's no time to get all involved with someone.) The mayor was right. People should just stay out of that spooky forest altogether.

It's not only the forest now... Strange incidents are being reported all over Sadal Suud. Thanks, Meemai! Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak!! He looks happy, doesn't he? You forget something? Dr. Larikush asked me to bring him a Mountain Apple.

, let's do that before we leave the village. This village is so boring. I'm fed up with being surrounded by kids and the elderly. I wish I was living in Pherkad.

Oh, where's the kind, wealthy gentleman who's going to sweep me off my feet and take me away to Pherkad? I'm so bored! Where's my cosmopolitan darling? Find me, marry me, and take me away! Maybe I'm asking for too much...I'm ready to compromise a little.

My darling doesn't have to be a young man...I can come to love an older gentleman, if he's super-rich! Doesn't he look happy? Surrounded by all those kids... It makes me want to smile.

It's no Pherkad, but this village isn't so bad once you're used to it. Prancer Daddy told me I should play outside.

He says the only danger in this village is falling down and scraping my knees.

I'm gonna play all day long. He says that's my job—to have fun! La la la la la...

I'm having a race with my little sister! You're standing in my way, mister. Daddy used to always tell us to play outside.

Now he says it's better if we stay inside. What's wrong with being outside? Daddy told us to stay near grown-ups, even inside the village. That's why I'm sitting here.

But it's really boring! Daddy told me to play outside with my sister.

But I prefer playing inside... *grumble*...Daddy's mean... *mumble*... Hey, move out of my way, please. I'm playing tag with my sister. Daddy told me to keep an eye on my older sister. He doesn't want her to be outside all by herself.

But I prefer playing inside... grumble...mumble... We were told to stay near grown-ups. The village isn't safe like it used to be.

That's why I'm just watching him. It's so boring... Never let yourself go soft, even during times of peace. That's what Dad always says.

That's why I'm practicing my punches! One two! One two! One two! Dad's been acting kinda weird. He brushes a swordguard against our faces before we leave home.

I wonder if it's some kind of charm. It's kinda creeping me out. Jab straight! Jab hard! Tense your muscles and throw the fist forward parallel to ground. Dad told me to stay near the grown-ups, because the monsters may attack our village anytime now.

Humph! A monster is no match for my lightning jab. One two! One two! One two!

If I'm ever in trouble, I'll be prepared to jab my way out. Dad told me a jab is the fundamental key to victory.

I don't really understand it. I think I can throw a harder punch...but I trust him. One two! One two! One two!

Dad says the one-two punch is a boxing fundamental. This sucks. Without practice, my punches are gonna lose their sting. I'm so tired... When you get old, even pulling weeds feels like hard labor.

Hmm. You're an unfamiliar face... Not from around here are you? Well, I hope you enjoy your visit. I'm so tired. Pulling weeds is my everyday chore. I may be old, but I'm not useless. Recently, starlings have been visiting us from the forest every evening. They're such trouble, leaving their droppings everywhere for us to step in! I pull weeds every day. No matter what happens, I'll keep to my routine until the day I die. Larikush ! I'm glad you are safe.

It sounded like trouble was brewing over by the forest.

Come talk with the village headman. Everyone's gathered at his place. E000501C Outside(Right):02 Hey, wait. You must be the guy they found unconscious in the woods.

How are you gonna make it as an adventurer if you keep fainting during your travels? Hey, are you trying to pick a fight or something?! What are you trying to say there, huh? Whoa, calm down there. I just want to give you some advice so you'll fare better from now on.

During your travels, have you ever thought:

"I wish I hadn't lost that battle," or: "If only I was stronger..."?

If that's the case, then you might want to learn more about this blue flower beside me.

They say this flower records the memory of those travelers who step into its embrace.

I've also heard of travelers being transported to a mysterious church and returning stronger than before they entered.

To tell you the truth, I haven't tried the flower myself...

But still, I thought I would tell you about it since you're an adventurer and all.

These mysterious flowers exist all throughout the world. It would be wise to make good use of them. I see. I'll check it out later. Oh, by the way, in addition to the blue flowers, there are also red flowers.

The red ones only let you save the progress of your journey. Keep that in mind, all right? Let's ask him again. I've heard enough. Okay. If you say so. Hey, sorry but can you tell me one more time? No problem. I'll repeat my explanation as many times as you want.

They say this flower records the memory of those travelers who step into its embrace.

I've also heard of travelers being transported to a mysterious church and returning stronger than before they entered.

It must sound good to you, being a traveler and all...

These flowers exist all throughout the world. Since they seem very useful, you should really try one out. Oh, by the way, I should also tell you this. In addition to the blue flower you see before you, there are also red flowers.

The red ones only let you save the progress of your journey. Keep that in mind during your adventuring, all right? Hey, what's that thing you've got strapped to your left shoulder... is that a Winglet? Yes it is. Well I'll be!

They say the Empire has tons of them,

but you rarely see any down here in the boonies.

But it looks...a little strange. It's custom-built. My grandfather made it for me.

I didn't realize it was so rare. Doctor Larikush asked me about it, too. Really? The Doc asked you? I didn't know he had an interest in Winglets.

He never struck me as the type that enjoys fiddling with machinery... You've only got the left one on,

is the other one being repaired or something? No, one is enough.

I don't have a left wing...

So my grandfather crafted this Winglet for me as a replacement. Oh, I see. That's why... Um...sorry for meddling. No problem.

It works perfectly fine, and together they get me where I want to go. That's good to hear... Your grandfather must've been an excellent engineer.

I mean, a custom made Winglet—wow! Yeah, he'd make and fix all sorts of things.

You could almost say he was a magician. I'm sure this is private business. We'll be waiting out here. Thanks. It shouldn't take long. Maynee Oh. Up and around already, are we?

I'm not surprised. Dr. Larikush can cure just about any injury or ailment in no time at all.

You know what? Now that you're feeling better, why don't you go see the village mayor?

It seems there's something he's itching to tell you. Now that you're feeling better, why don't you go see the village mayor?

It seems there's something he's itching to tell you. Welcome to the Sadal Suud Frontier. You're in Cebalrai, a remote village out in the sticks of the sticks.

Our village doesn't have much to offer, but we're friendly folks here; always ready with a smile for a weary traveler.

What's the matter? Don't tell me you're bored of our village already.

Hey, I can explain the secrets of this flower again if you want. Hey, what's with the long face? You getting tired of this place? Ha ha ha! I'm not surprised.

The young folks in the village say they feel the same way... But once you get old...

You'll enjoy the slow-moving clouds, and notice the whispery song of the leaves.

By the way, do you want me to tell you about this flower again? A huge ship I've never seen before was just flying toward the capital.

Could that be the same group that assaulted you?

You seem to have gotten mixed up in some pretty dangerous business.

If you wanna stay in one piece, you'd best learn how to use these flowers. Want another explanation? Every evening, a large flock of birds flies out of Moonguile Forest to our village.

That didn't used to happen. It's mighty strange and makes me feel a little uneasy. Is the world about to end because of some balderdash god I don't know anything about?

A legendary hero is supposed to appear out of the blue during these times of crisis. Where is that hero? Huh? You want a Fantail Duck? Let me think about it for a second... Promise to take good care of it? Of course. Not really. Of course! I'll take good care of it, and raise up a nice, healthy Fantail Duck! Absolutely! I'll take good care of it, and raise up a nice, healthy Fantail Duck! Honestly? Okay then, I'll give you some of my precious Fantail Ducks.

I'll give you a regular one, a white one, and a little duckling... That should be enough, right?

Choose your favorites from the flock. But remember, only one of each kind. Okay? Then forget about it. They're very important to me. I won't give them to someone like you. I'll give you a regular one, a white one, and a little duckling...

Choose your favorites from the flock. But remember, only one of each kind. You can tell which is which, right? Take good care of my Fantail Ducks! Did you know this, mister? Everyone has Wings of the Heart, right?

The Wings of the Heart outwardly express what people are feeling on the inside—their hopes and dreams.

That's what my father told me. That's why there are so many different types...

The unique shapes and colors are just reflecting each person's hopes and dreams. Do my ducks' wings also reflect their hearts? I wonder what their wings are telling me. I saw a big ship fly over us. My ducks were startled and made quite a ruckus.

Did something happen, mister? My duckies always get scared at night. I don't know what they're so afraid of.

Flocks of birds fly out of the forest as if fleeing from something. What's happening, anyway? That wicked god with the hard name's come back, hasn't he? Everything's his fault, right?

Mister, you're going to stop him, aren't you? Good luck. You want to know what I'm doing? I'm gathering Cebalrai's most juicy and delicious treat, our famous Mountain Apples.

They're great snacks to eat as is, but ferment them to make Mountain Apple Wine and you'll be tasting something simply divine.

The harvest is going to be over soon. Come back later, and I'll give you some Mountain Apples to try out. Oh, you're so impatient. Didn't I tell you to come back later? The harvest is almost over. Why don't you come back in a little while? The Mountain Apple harvest is finally over. The barrels you see beside me are filled with fresh apples. Go ahead and help yourself to as many as you like. Those Pherkad city folk get to sip their delicious wine because I grow my Mountain Apples with care.

Leave Mountain Apples to ferment and after a certain amount of time, you'll be left with Mountain Apple Wine.

This isn't true just for my apples. Some Magnus will change into other Magnus after a certain amount of time has passed. You might want to remember that. A custom-made Winglet... There are few engineers even in the Empire capable of such a feat.

I can't even imagine how to create something like that. A custom-made Winglet. Your grandfather really was one heck of an engineer. So I hear you broke the "forbidden" seal and released its baleful prisoner into the world.

Ha ha ha. What a bunch of superstitious nonsense. I don't believe any of that stuff.

Listen. Even if it is true, what can we do about it?

All I can do is feed the animals and grow the crops like I've always done. It's not just the Pows and the Prancers that are listless. Even the Fantail Ducks seem without spirit.

The resurrection of the wicked god worries me too, but I'm really worried about what'll happen to my animal business. These barrels appear to be empty now. Freshly picked apples are piled up high. They seem bigger and fresher than regular apples. Fantail Duck (regular) Fantail Duck (white) Fantail Duckling ... ...are you okay? I'm fine. Would you all come with me to the Celestial Alps?

The Doctor said Gramps left me something there. No problem!

I don't know what went on in there between you and the Doc, but cheer up kid. Yes, we have so much left to do. We need you in high spirits. Great Mizuti Up your cheer, Kalas! The Great Mizuti be with you! Focus your thoughts solely on this mission.

You'll have plenty of time for reflection once it's over... Survival is priority one, right? Thanks...All of you. Okay. Let's go, ! It's not over yet, ! Let's go, ! It's not over yet, ! Yeah. Let's go, everyone, ! Yeah. You're right, . Let's go, everyone! E0005023 House:03 Hello there.

Let me guess, you're the young man they found and brought in for the doctor to look at, correct?

I know it's exciting to travel on your own,

but it's very important to be cautious in a foreign land. Your family must be worried sick about you.

The last thing you want to do is worry the ones that love you most.

Please go back to them. Well, to tell you the truth, I don't have anyone to go back to. They're all gone. I'm sorry to hear that...But if that's the case, you really need to keep your eyes open.

Because I know there's someone in this world, someone who is waiting for you. Waiting? Waiting for me? Yes indeed. Someone who needs you...

And someone you will come to need...

That someone, somewhere in this world, is living day by day, just as you are.

Neither of you know how important you are to each other. Yet...

In time, you will come to know. Such is the way of the world. ... You'll understand, when the time comes. By the way, why don't you take this with you?

It's one of my special recipes. Don't be bashful. Shish Kebab (Medium) Oh...thanks. Thank you. You're most welcome. Remember, be cautious...And take care of yourself, young man. Remember. Don't be too reckless, okay?

If you can't even take care of yourself, how do you expect to be able to help others? Someone awaits you—someone who needs you. And you need that special someone yourself.

You'll meet that person someday. Or maybe you already have. This is a bad sign. I sense an evil presence in the forest. Something must have happened.

You must be very careful when you enter Moonguile Forest. So. Malpercio has returned... If nothing is done, the world will surely be destroyed.

Stay brave but careful. Remember, you won't be fighting this battle alone. I'll make some of my delicious cream stew. I need milk...milk...Where's the milk?

Oh no! I'm out of milk!

Drat, I have to keep an eye on the pot...

If only there was someone who could bring me milk from the stable... I feel very awkward asking you this, but...

Will you go to the stable and bring back some Pow milk for me?

I'm making cream stew, but I can't make it without Pow milk... Did you have a change of heart and are willing to help me out? No way. You must be kidding me. I don't have time for that. Helping her cook...That sounds like fun. Shall we, ? Let's help her. No time right now. What? You want me to help her, ? Fine. We'll do it. Whatever you say, boss. Thank you, , you're so sweet!

So, what can I do for you? Oh, thank you. I would go myself, but I have to keep an eye on the pot here, so nothing burns.

The stable's just right down the path. You'll find the Pow milk inside a large jar in the stable. Thank you for your help. Glad we see eye to eye. I haven't got time to waste helping someone make stew. I know... I agree. We have to help the others as soon as possible. Oh, I understand. Don't be sorry. I'm embarrassed to have asked you, a stranger. Cream stew made from Pow milk is one of my special recipes.

Only Pow milk can bring out the soup's rich flavor. Thank you for helping me. Thank you for helping me. You saved my stew! Oh, you've brought me Pow milk. Thank you very much. Now I can finish cooking my stew.

This might come in handy during your journey. Please accept it as a gift. Puppis Oh, you've brought me more. I have enough milk for now, but I'll use it for the tomorrow's dinner. My son-in-law hasn't been heard from since he set out for the city three days ago.

He probably blew all his money at the bars in Pherkad and is too drunk to find his way home.

Men are all the same. If you see my daughter, tell her what I said...

Drop that no good man. She's always had poor judgment when it comes to men. She's probably pacing in distress near the town entrance.

She's too trusting for her own good. She even trusts and worries about her no good husband... My daughter's husband hasn't come back yet. Now even I'm becoming a little concerned... It seems my son-in-law's finally returned. I hear you lent a helping hand.

I don't think that lout has learned his lesson though. The same thing is just going to happen again. It seems my son-in-law's finally returned. I hear you lent a helping hand.

That man finally promised to change his ways...Thank you. It's not much, but I want you to have it. You received 500 Gold pieces. Thank you. I can rest easier now. You see many books on cooking. "Cream Stew Cooking Tips" seems especially well read. There's something in the drawer. Dark Flare Lv 1 The drawer is now empty. The dishes are lined up neatly, but a few stains remain on them. Scrubbing carefully must not be her forte... "Becoming the Perfect Wife" You flip open a random page. "Listen to and obey your husband's every whim..." The drawer is filled to its limit with clothes. Not a sock more can fit. E000502A Village Mayor's Residence:04 Village Mayor Oh, you're finally awake. Yes sir. I guess I've caused you some trouble. I let my guard down, and then...well, sorry about all this. Don't worry about what's already happened, young fella. Feel free to stay in this village to heal your wounds for as long as you need.

However, I must strongly insist that you never go near Moonguile Forest again...

I've heard rumors of meddlers from Pherkad snooping around that forest without permission... ... Humph! Neither you nor those blockheads understand that Moonguile Forest must not be disturbed!

An ancient, hideous monster slumbers deep within that forest.

These days, even the forest animals seem uneasy. Now is not the time to meddle in places you don't belong. I hope your bruises have taught you a valuable lesson. Never enter that forest again, is that clear? You fool! Your thoughtless actions may have doomed us all.

This may very well lead to the ruin of Cebalrai...Or even of the entire world for that matter!

Malpercio...the wicked god, whose name I even hesitate to say out loud, must not be resurrected...

That girl, , is just as much responsible! I warned her not to go into that forest, and she brushed off my warning as if I was an old, paranoid fuddydud.

You are both foolish kettleheads, and no longer welcome in this village. Leave at once! Never return to this village again! Leave my sight at once! My worst fears have come to pass. Some great evil is stirring.

A vast, inexplicable scar has been opened in Moonguile Forest...

Did you stumblebums cause this, too? Hmm, chowderheads?! I'll no longer stand in your way.

You may have been the cause of these strange events...

But I can see that you are struggling courageously to put a stop to it all. I'm sure of that now.

You have my support... I wish you the best of luck. Everyone is talking about you... A young traveler found in serious trouble in the forbidden forest...

Don't mind the stories. This is a small village. Even a small happening is big news here. I hope you've learned your lesson. As the mayor told you... the forest is off-limits.

There have always been strange tales about the Moonguile Forest.

One man was beguiled by the moon and walked, without food or drink, three days straight around the same path...

Another man was bewitched by a beautiful fish in the fountain and was almost swallowed whole.

Some laugh these tales off as village lore, but such stories are born for a reason.

As the old saying goes...A wise man never courts danger... You should heed those words well. Everyone is talking about you... Unbelievable! The young traveler causes more trouble?!

They do have a point, though. You did break the seal entombing the Lord of the Spring, after all.

Your actions may even lead to the resurrection of the wicked god...

You've just got to accept that people are going to be talking about you. Everyone is talking about this... They're saying, "The end is near!" and "A mysterious chasm breaks open in Moonguile Forest!"

By the way, where is that young man with the blue hair? I hope he's not involved in some way. Everyone is talking about this... Resurrection of the ancient god... A prelude to catastrophe?!

Don't tell me you had something to do with this? Larikush The wheel of destiny has started to turn...

We might not understand why the wheel is turning or where it leads us, but one day we will. Kalas...be brave and strong. There's something wedged in between the books. Fire Burst Lv 1 There's nothing there anymore. "How to be a Great Village Mayor" This book is in excellent condition. It's almost as if it's never been opened. You see faint traces of a paragraph. Someone must have written it without a pad underneath. Underwear is folded neatly. This drawer is used for storing clothes. The mayor and his wife apparently like somber colors. Perhaps a gift from the villagers, you see ceramic dolls made in the likeness of the mayor and his wife. Flames are crackling away. I'm not sure what it was...

A strange monster came up from the spring in the forest...

It was saying something about "Malpercio"... What was that?! Did you say Malpercio?!

An evil deity, from ancient times...

I knew something like this would happen! I thought we told you to stay away from that forest! But, wait... No more buts, young man!

You and your lot have unleashed a great evil! Ignorant fools! ... I believe the other travelers, a young girl among them, also entered the forest...any news of them? Oh...That girl... . She was with me.

We were attacked by soldiers from a giant battleship...She was captured... Hmm... Unfavorable circumstances, to say the least... Doc, do you know anything about that ship? I have to track it down. No, I'm afraid not. If you're talking about that huge, strange ship, I saw it fly towards the city. The city?! That must be it. Thanks so much! Be careful, .

Powerful entities seem to be at work...

Stay alert boy. Thanks, Doc. I will. All right, , let's go get 'em!

You're mine, Giacomo! Ummm...One more thing, . I have a favor to ask of you.

It shouldn't take too long. Could you stop by my place, before you leave? Your place? Sure. I'll drop by later, then. E0005031 Stable:05 Oh, you must be a traveler. I'll bet you're from Pherkad, right?

Isn't this village boring? I mean, there's nothing to do here. Oh, how I long for Pherkad...

Ancient capital of stone, Jewel of the East...City of my hopes and dreams!

Outsiders might not see what's so special about a small city on this frontier island,

but I can hardly wait each week for the day when we sell our wares in the city...

One of these days, I'm going to run into a lord in the street, or maybe a young, wealthy merchant.

Then our eyes will meet... and it's love at first sight! *sigh* How romantic!

...I can hardly wait... Oh stop it. You're daydreaming again. Such silly thoughts won't get the Pows milked.

Even if you do run into someone like that...

Heaven knows what he'd do to a country girl like you.

He'd play with your head and leave you the moment he finds another young girl.

Just because we have wings doesn't mean we should be fluttering on such childish dreams.

Plant your feet firmly on the ground, and take careful steps—slowly but surely. That's our way of life in this village. I know, I know.

But everyone likes to flutter on about romantic dreams at my age. All right, honey.

You can dream all you want once you've finished your chores. *sigh* Work, work, work...

What a drag. *sigh*...Another day milking the Pows...Same old job every day. What a life... Why is it so noisy outside? Did something happen? I can't concentrate on my milking... You! You've been to Pherkad, haven't you? I can tell by the scent on your clothes. How was the city? I liked it. I wasn't too impressed. I'm glad to hear that. Cobbled streets and drifting clouds. You have good taste!

I don't know why I'm so excited, but I feel like giving this to you. Here, take it. Anklet of Calm Winds Huh? You must be kidding? I don't feel like talking with you anymore!

I'm busy milking the Pow! Don't disturb me, okay? Why don't we go to Pherkad together someday. *dreamy sigh*... I'm busy milking the Pow! Don't disturb me, okay! The Pows give less and less milk these days. I wonder if it's my fault... Of course not. How should I know? Thanks for saying that. I think you're right. The Pows just aren't in good condition.

That makes me feel better about myself. I want to give this to you for helping me regain my confidence. Thanks. How should I know?! Are you this rude to everyone?!

Argh! Please leave! I'm busy milking the Pow! Don't disturb me, okay?! You should try milking the Pows with me some time. Your hands will be in for an interesting experience. What do you want? I'm busy milking the Pow! Don't disturb me, okay? Even if Malpercio does return, we still can't have breakfast without milk. Don't you agree? I agree. Milk is useless. I'm glad to hear that. Milk is the cornerstone to a well-balanced and delicious breakfast.

I like your eating habits! I'd like to reward you for your understanding of the value of milk. Here, take this. Next time, I'll let you try some freshly squeezed Pow milk. You won't believe it came from a Pow! The milk and eggs produced here are sold east of this village in Pherkad.

With the money from the sales, we buy goods in the city... That's our way of life here in Cebalrai. Sorry about the smell. While you're in the stable, you're gonna have to put up with it. Most Cebalrai villagers live and die never having taken one step out of the Sadal Suud Frontier.

Our entire lives are spent traveling to and from Pherkad. It's just our way of life...

And we find satisfaction in our small world. Our own happiness... Our own pleasures...

Everyone leads their own separate lives. Who can really judge another's happiness... Is something happening outside the village? I have a very bad feeling...

...that my happiness, my small joys, will be taken away—that my modest life will be shattered. Some great evil is stirring in the outside world. I've never felt such a strong sense of foreboding before...

My happiness, my small pleasures... My modest life shattered into irreparable pieces... Cebalrai is just a rustic village on the island's outskirts. Damage to it is no big deal.

But Pherkad...if its ancient cityscape is destroyed, a full restoration may not be possible. See that girl there? She's probably daydreaming about Pherkad even now as she milks that Pow...

She might be smitten by fair Pherkad, but she's an amazing Pow milker. It's kind of ironic I think... Are you looking for Pow milk? There's some in the pot over there. Help yourself.

Oh I should warn you... Drink it while it's fresh or you'll end up eating yogurt instead. If you want Pow milk, feel free to help yourself to some in this pot. Be sure to drink the milk right away. If you let it sit for too long, you'll end up with yogurt. Take a look behind you. Those Prancers sure are something, right?

The common horse is no match for its standout strength. The animals in this stable are an important part of the village workforce. That's why we

*grunt* raise them with such tender care. Gotta keep 'em happy, you know. When I went to Pherkad on business, the animals in Nunki Valley attacked me.

They say animals in Moonguile Forest have been acting unusual as well...Be careful traveler. The Prancers have been acting restless lately. They're worn out from getting so riled, and they haven't been eating much.

I have a bad feeling this has something to do with the strange happenings in the Moonguile Forest. No matter what happens to the world...

Animals will need to be fed when they're hungry. It's my responsibility to take care of them.

I know they're just animals, but I still tend to them with love. Can you understand that? Woman with a Bracelet Oh, hello there. It's a fine day today, isn't it? I hope it doesn't get too much hotter.

If it gets too hot, the Pows will become fatigued and lazy.

If that happens, their meat will get fatty and unmarketable.

We can't afford poor Pow sales during this season... Come to think of it, you don't look familiar... There are so few faces to remember here, I can easily tell.

I don't know where you're from, but have you been to Mintaka? My husband's working there.

He says he's fed up with all the machines around him. What an ironic thing for a mechanic to say... If you go to Mintaka and happen to see my husband Qasim, please tell him that his wife misses him and wants him to come home.

But what are the chances you'll meet him in Mintaka...

The city is so huge and overpopulated...

I prefer rural living myself. Quzman? Quzman is my father-in-law. What's the matter? He's dying? Really?

Who are you? Oh, my father-in-law asked you to find his relatives.

I'll go since my husband is away in Mintaka... You want me to sign here? Surayj My husband is working hard in a city called Mintaka. He's not exactly drop-dead handsome, but he's a good man. I need to visit my father-in-law in Pherkad, right? Okay. I'll head over once I'm ready.

Please find my husband in Mintaka. I haven't seen him for months. Tell him to come back ASAP. Oh it's you. How's the Prancer doing?

Huh? What am I doing? One of my Pows is ill, so I'm checking up on it.

What?? You want a Pow, too? You're kidding me, right? Are you kidding, ? Yeah, I'm just kidding. No, I'm serious. Yes, I'm just kidding. No, I'm serious. I'm kidding. I'm busy taking care of the Prancer. Hey don't joke like that... The Pows are a very important source of our income. I'm not kidding. I'm already taking care of a Prancer for you. You might as well give me a Pow, too. I'm not kidding...The Pow doesn't seem to be in good condition. Let us take care of it. You are serious. You must really want him, so you reminded me of the Prancer... Okay, okay. I'll give you one. Pow Here you are. They're living creatures too, you know. Please look after him well. This Prancer is sensitive to hot weather. He's grown weak from the Sadal Suud heat.

If he lived in a cooler climate, I'm sure he'd recover. But what can I do? This Prancer is sensitive to hot weather. He's grown weak from the Sadal Suud heat.

What? You want this Prancer? Are you willing to take it to a cooler climate? What do you say, ? Let's take it. No. Okay. I'll take it. All right. I'll take it. Really? Thanks. Just stay where you are. I'll lead him out of his corral. Prancer Sorry. Ask me again later. I'm sorry. I don't have time for that right now. Oh, I see. I'm sorry to hear that. I think it needs to go to a cooler climate to get better. Here. I'm trusting you, Please give this Prancer to someone caring and responsible. Oh, it's you. How are the Pow and the Prancer doing?

Huh? What am I doing? No, no, no. They're all very healthy. Ha ha ha! The pot is filled with freshly-squeezed milk. It smells sweet and delicious. Animal droppings are in the bucket. They smell as bad as you might expect... E0005038 Larikush's House:06 Okay, Doc. Tell me. Larikush All right, then.

First of all, a Magnus is just an object's essence extracted and trapped inside a card.

We call the object's essence its Magna Essence.

The Blank Magnus serves as a container for the Magna Essence. They're very easy to use.

To trap an essence inside one of your empty Blank Magnus, just press the A Button to search the object whose essence you want to extract.

If you want to give a trapped essence to someone else, talk to that person.

If that person wants the essence, your Blank Magnus should appear automatically.

Use the C Stick to select the essence you wish to give, and then press the A Button to give it to them. Of course, once a Magna Essence has lost its usefulness, you can always release it from your Blank Magnus.

Once the Magna Essence is released, you will have an empty Blank Magnus ready to be filled with a new Magna Essence.

To release an essence, display your Blank Magnus by tilting the C Stick.

Continue using the C Stick to select the unwanted essence, and press the X Button to complete its release.

You are free to extract and release Magna Essence as many times as you wish. That's just how they work. Doctor, I need to ask you one last thing... Who gave me my name? ...The Emperor, Geldoblame.

Hearing you were not the perfect being he had envisioned, he called you an ill omen, a cursed premonition of things to come. He named you Kalas, which means Raven in a long-lost language. I see... After we left the Empire, Georg and I tried to give you a new name,

but you would have none of it. Your name was the one thing you remembered... I guess it was the reason for my existence, and my hatred...

Something I just couldn't get rid of. I want to hear about it. I don't need to hear about it. Are you following me so far? Yeah, I am. , how about you? I understand. Tell me one more time. Okay, let's practice.

The Mountain Apple harvest should be over by now.

Your task is to extract a Mountain Apple's Magna Essence into a Blank Magnus and bring it to me.

Mountain Apples can be found inside the village. You don't need to leave Cebalrai to find them. No thanks, Doc. I'll figure it out. Okay, glad to hear that. Remember to take care of the landslide in Nunki Valley. Let's hear about it. I don't need to hear about it. If my memory serves me, the doctor arrived in Cebalrai twelve years ago.

Before his arrival, this village had no doctor. If someone became sick or injured, we were dependent on the city doctors.

No doctor in the city would come to our village, so we had to rush our injured to the city ourselves.

You can imagine our relief when Doctor Larikush arrived here and decided to stay.

All of us in the village admire and depend on the doctor for his medical knowledge.

But he's such a strange person. I can't believe he made his home in our remote village.

He says he doesn't like big cities, but if I were him I'd pick the glitz and glam of city life any day. If you change your mind, just come back later. I'll tell you then. After you thank Meemai, will you visit the village mayor's house? He seemed very concerned about you. There's not much left that I can help you with... Except...No. Forget it.

You should do what you feel is right, . Be careful. , do what you feel is right. Be careful. Sorry, . I know you're in a hurry, but I need to ask you a favor.

A landslide in Nunki Valley has made the route to Pherkad impassable.

I've prepared explosives and left them on the bench. I want you to use them to clear away the landslide rubble. W-wait. Explosives? How did you get them on this remote island? The Empire's the only place I can think of that has easy access to explosives. ...That's not what's important right now. What's important is the impassable route to Pherkad.

If the rubble in Nunki Valley is not cleared away, the people of this village will continue to be inconvenienced.

Besides, you're going to Pherkad anyway, aren't you? Yeah, right...

Okay. I understand. You saved my life. I guess I owe you one.

But how do you expect me to lug around heavy explosives? I can't carry them by myself! Why don't you trap their Magna Essence? Here. Take these Blank Magnus. Go ahead and use them. Oh, I see. Once something's been turned into a Magnus, even bulky and heavy items are easy to carry. That's right. Blank Magnus are very useful. Feel free to keep the ones I gave you. Okay. Thanks, Doc. I'll take care of that landslide in Nunki Valley! You've obtained 4 Blank Magnus! If you want to know more about Blank Magnus, I can explain to you how they work. Shall I begin? Umm... What do you say, ? How are things going? Have you trapped a Mountain Apple's Magna Essence?

There should be Mountain Apples in this village. You shouldn't have to go very far to find them. Great, thank you. You seem to have grasped how to use them.

Since you brought me a juicy Mountain Apple, let me give you this in return. Ice Dagger When you do others a favor, they may give you something in return.

Of course, it's up to you to decide whether to do the person a favor or not.

You only have four Blank Magnus right now, but you'll obtain more as you continue your journey.

While your supply of Blank Magnus cards are limited, you should consider your essence selection carefully.

Make too quick a decision, and you'll soon find yourself without any Blanks.

Well, that's about it for my explanation of the Blank Magnus cards.

Please take care of the landslide in Nunki Valley as soon as possible. If you want the explosives, they're on the bench. Or would you like to know more about Blank Magnus? Use the explosives to destroy the rocks and clear a path. I'm counting on you, Kalas.

Hmm? Would you like to know more about Blank Magnus? Hello, Kalas. I heard about Nunki Valley. News of your success traveled fast.

On behalf of all the villagers, I'd like to say thank you. The wheel of destiny has begun turning...

We might not understand why the wheel turns as it does, but the day will come when we will. , good luck. I see... So that is the path chose...

I felt an unpleasant premonition that day. Perhaps this was inevitable. Maybe the wheel of destiny had chosen Kalas' destiny, long ago.

We can't give up now. The wheel may turn differently, yet. Please, I ask of you, save Kalas... A wheel already in motion can't easily be stopped. Especially a wheel of this magnitude.

Your job now is to decide in which path to steer it.

No one else can make the choice now. The fate of the world rests with you. Good luck. Oh, you must be the traveler they found unconscious in the woods.

You should ask me for advice if you want to have better luck in the future. What should we ask her about, ? You should ask me for advice. What do you say, ? What should we ask her about? Magnus types Earning money Photos Magnus Gathering About Doctor Larikush Nothing In general, Magnus can be divided into two types: Magnus used during battle and Magnus used while in the Camp menu.

A Battle Magnus can be used an infinite number of times.

On the other hand, a Camp Magnus can only be used a single time, so you need to be more careful when using them.

An adventuring tip: If you need to recover HP, it makes more sense to do so during battle than in camp.

Use a Battle Magnus instead of a Camp Magnus and recover your HP without losing any Magnus!

Of course, using Battle Magnus is a little riskier, but making good use of them is important. Defeating enemies won't earn you a single gold coin.

Given the poor street value of most Magnus, trying to earn money by selling them isn't realistic either.

The way to go if you want to get big bucks is to sell photographs.

Photos can only be taken during battle and are a bit risky. But a well-shot photo will fetch you a lot of gold. Photos aren't worth holding on to for a long time. You should always check to see if you have any to sell when you visit Magnus shops.

But be careful not to be too anxious to sell your photos.

Unless you let the photos develop and let their colors come out fully, they won't fetch their full values.

Taking a good photo that you can sell at a high price requires both skill and determination.

Photos of fast-moving enemies are often out of focus.

Photos taken when the light is too bright tend to be washed out.

Combine light and dark attacks and wait for the right shutter moment.

With practice and some luck, you'll be taking photos like a pro in no time! In the Camp menu, there's an option called "Gathering."

All Magnus cards that you encounter are automatically registered to the Gathering.

To register a Magnus into the Gathering, you don't actually need to obtain it. Once you have seen the Magnus in some form, it will automatically be to added to the Gathering.

For example, Magnus cards that you see in shops are registered to the Gathering even if you don't actually buy them. The entire village is thankful that we have Doctor Larikush. If we had found you back in the old days...

So you want to know more about Doctor Larikush, the man who saved your life?

Well, I can't tell you much about him right now. Come back in a little while when I'm done with work. The entire village is thankful that we have Doctor Larikush. If we had found you back in the old days...

Do you want to know more about Doctor Larikush, the man who saved your life? So, you want to find out more about Dr. Larikush, do you? I know you're better now, but don't go bite off more than you can chew just yet.

I don't want you to cause too much trouble for Dr. Larikush. The monsters in Nunki Valley and Moonguile Forest are becoming more and more violent every day.

I know you can take care of yourself, but if you pass through those places, please be careful. I'm certainly not old enough to be a grandmother, but can I give you some grandmotherly advice?

You know the saying: Slow but steady wins the race.

Don't forget the saying's message when you explore new areas and meet monsters that are too tough. Medical tools and confusing charts are stored here. You see an anatomical drawing of the human body. You feel a bit queasy... The items you see before you are seldom found in these parts. They all seem well-worn from long use. Something is in the wooden box. Shish Kebab (Small) The wooden box is now empty. This wooden box can't be opened. Explosives are piled on the bench. An unexpected sight for a backwoods farming village on the frontier. You've obtained Explosives. Hmmm...Argh... Where am I? Ugh...my head! Man Ah...I see you have awakened. How do you feel? Who are you? Why am I here? My name is Larikush. I'm the village doctor here at Cebalrai.

They found you lying unconscious in the woods nearby and brought you here. Oh yeah, I remember now...I was attacked by Rock Cats...

Oh man...how stupid of me. You're lucky they were only Rock Cats. They are herbivores, after all...

It's awfully strange to hear of them attacking humans... The animals in that forest have been acting quite peculiar lately.

I'm not sure why, but they're much more aggressive than they used to be.

You'd better stay away from those woods. By the way, what do you call yourself?

I don't recall seeing you around these parts. My name's .

This is my first time here...Which is why I got lost, I guess. , is it?

Welcome to Cebalrai Village, boy.

It looks like you took quite a blow to the head, so I was worried you might have amnesia...

...but you seem to be fine.

If you feel up to it, you're welcome to take a look around the village.

We're only a small farming community on the frontier, so I'm afraid there isn't that much to see... By the way, I left your Winglet over there by the window.

Quite an unusual design for a Winglet, I must say. Different from those used by the Empire... It was hand-crafted by my grandfather.

He was an excellent engineer. Ah, I see. Your grandfather...Very impressive.

And how is he doing? He died, two years ago... Is that so? I'm...sorry to hear that. Well, thanks for the help, Doc. I owe you one. Actually, I'm not the one you should be thanking.

Meemai is the one who found you lying in the woods, and carried you here. I see. Meemai, is it? Well...that should do it. Let's get going. ...Ah, you've come. Welcome. I've been waiting for you, .

Things must have been pretty awful for you, but I'm glad to see you're in good health. Thanks, Doc. Long time no see. I got your letter. So you have something to tell me?

Were you really working with Gramps, and for the Empire? Now then...where should I start?

Hmm...From the very beginning, I suppose. With the experiment we were working on.

It's been almost twenty years, since... I hear you've been to the Empire, so you probably heard about us. Georg and I were born in a small desert village.

We were recruited by the Empire around twenty years ago, and began working on military research.

Under Emperor Geldoblame's orders, we were supposed to design new weaponry, battleships and Iron Beetles.

But there was also another project we were assigned to, one that was kept strictly confidential.

We were attempting to solve the secret of the Magnus. What you know today as the Magna Essence is a technology originally established ages ago by the warlocks of old.

It consists of encoding and storing the essence of matter,

and decoding it later on to restore the material to its original form.

Yet, it was said to be impossible to encode a living creature into a Magnus. Since quite some time ago, this type of research has been strictly prohibited.

Creatures casted into a Magnus would end up distorted and defective when later invoked.

But Georg had succeeded. He was a true genius... At first we planned to make use of the power sealed deep within the Lava Caves.

It turned out to be one of the sealed End Magnus...

Giacomo, Ayme and Folon were the results of those initial experiments.

That's why all three have extraordinary powers. So Giacomo and his goons had gotten some power from the End Magnus... That's right.

But with the End Magnus sealed away, that was the best we could do.

So we took it to another level... You know what I'm talking about?

Can't you remember? This is about you and your brother, Fee.

...Georg created you artificially. ...?! Over the years, we conducted numerous experiments under close watch of the Empire...

But even Georg couldn't succeed in encoding a living creature.

Something very important, not found as a mere object, would be lost when a creature was encoded, and would be missing when the creature was reconstructed.

It was then that Georg altered his approach yet again.

Instead of encoding extracted Magna Essence,

he began working on modifying an existing, working Magnus to create a living creature...

Georg seemed totally engrossed in his work, back then.

He chose a base material, and spent months modifying and improving it, slowly altering the Magnus properties.

His experiment was successful. Several months later, a new life was created.

You were the result, . That's...That's impossible... I know this is difficult to believe, but you'll understand some day.

Born from a Magnus, you were...how should I put it...excessively human.

You had too many of the flaws present in human beings, and you were born with just one wing.

Geldoblame was unsatisfied with the results of that experiment. What he wanted was a pure, perfect life form.

His intention was to study the Magnus of such a life form, and to unlock the secret of eternal life.

He would call this hypothetical life form the "Divine Child"... The Divine Child? Since around that time, Geldoblame became obsessed with overcoming the limitations of human beings.

Georg furthered his studies based on your Magnus, making improvements until, several years later, another life was born.

A child born of a true, living Magnus. So you're trying to tell me that Fee... He was created, too?

But, Kodelle...one of the witches, said she didn't feel any Magnus within me... Your Magnus is quite different from those found in this world.

Georg had drastically modified the original Magnus.

Suppose you brought in a creature with blue blood instead of red, and asked someone to study its blood.

Many would shake their heads and say it's not possible, as the creature has no blood at all...

When people think of blood, they picture a red liquid.

A blue liquid would not fit the description.

They would need someone to point out to them that it's simply a matter of the creature's blood being blue.

Until then, they would picture the creature as being bloodless.

Even if the blood was right there, in front of their eyes.

A similar thing could be said about your Magnus. I think I get what you're trying to say... Back to the subject.

After Fee was born, Georg was a man redeemed...

The time he spent with you and Fee may have stirred something within him that had been dormant for a long time.

Or, maybe there was something about Fee that brought about these changes in him. ... Eventually, twelve years ago, we decided to escape from the Empire. ...Everything went as planned. We managed to reach Mira under the guise of travelers.

Maybe it was from the shock of the explosion, when you awoke, after escaping from the Empire,

you'd lost memory of everything that had happened until then...

Fee was only three years old, so he didn't seem to remember much, either.

Soon after, I left Mira, and came to live here.

I don't know exactly what happened to you in Mira two years ago...

Georg and I had lived separate lives.

Imagine how surprised I was when seeing you brought to this village. Giacomo died, in the Imperial capital... Is that so? So I was born of a Magnus?

Georg created me?

I can't believe that... I'm not surprised. Take your time, boy. Let it sink in.

Either way, you are yourself. That's what counts.

How you were born is unimportant.

It's the same for anybody. We don't choose to be born.

We simply realize, one day, that we're here... That we exist... ...I have something for you.

Georg asked me to give it to you, should you need it one day. This must be the time. Gramps left me something? Yes. Way back then...

When we had settled down in Mira. Georg told me he intended to leave something for you.

I don't know what it is, but you'll find it in a cabin up in the Celestial Alps. The Celestial Alps? Yes. There's a cabin near the mountaintop. Georg and I built it, after we left the Empire. A cabin in the alps...he stashed it there, huh? Yes. I suggest you go there and look for it. -- Moonguile Forest -- E000503F Forest 1:01 Voice 1 ...?! Is that... Yeah. The ancient power is buried around here somewhere.

You'll help us, won't you, ?

I'll need your help for this.

Here's the plan. I'll be attacked by Rock Cats, and lose consciousness.

When I come to, I can say some memories were partially lost from the shock.

Not mine, , yours.

You'll have forgotten all about our plans, and continue helping me.

You and I are a team, . Nope, sorry. There's no turning back. Okay, let's get this over with. Zap 's memory for me. ... Ugh! You belong to us, now... Just as this girl belongs to us...

Come, free us, from a thousand years of darkness... A millennium of solitude and suffering...

Beautiful white wings for you... For the world... Death and destruction...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!! ...! What was that all about?! What's going on here? Who are you? Gram Is everything all right, Your Majesty? This young man... Hmm...none of his injuries are serious.

He probably just passed out. Leon Let us carry him, then, to the nearest village. Wait...I don't want people to know that we were the ones who found him... ...? As you wish, Your Majesty. Yet...

We cannot simply leave him here... Meemai Squeak. I'm glad you're here. I have a favor to ask you. Squeak? E0005046 Forest 2:02 Well, ? What should we ask this guy about? Attacks Combos Target selection Defense Nothing Use weapons for the offensive round, and armor and shields for the defensive round.

Some weapons can be used for defense as well. You won't lose your Magnus, so go ahead and experiment.

Don't think too much. Let intuition be your guide. Using several Magnus in a turn makes up a unit called the Combo.

I don't know how many Magnus you can use right now, but the unit that decides the final damage dealt is your Combo. Each individual Magnus is just a contributing element in the Combo.

It's better to learn this the hard way...but anyway, if you use opposite elements in a single Combo, such as Fire and Water, the damage from both elements will cancel each other out, decreasing the total damage dealt.

When you choose the Magnus in your Combo, pay attention to their element color. Otherwise, you won't engage in battle as effectively.

The Combo is what's important. Attack Combo versus Defense Combo. The total power of the Combos of you and your enemy determines the outcome of the hand. The first thing you should do during your turn is to choose a target.

Choose carefully, because your entire Combo will be used on that target alone.

The target is always on the enemy at first, so if you want to attack an enemy, just leave it as is.

But remember, if a recovery Magnus is in a Combo, it will heal the enemy.

Not only will your party member fail to be healed, you'll end up healing the enemy's HP!

So, if you want to use a recovery Magnus, press the R Button to choose a character from your party, first.

Every time you press the R Button, the target will switch to a new party member. The target never moves to the enemy by pressing the R Button, so don't worry about that.

On the other hand, pressing the L Button switches the target only among the enemies. Use it to quickly choose your enemy target. Don't get caught standing around like a slug on defense. You should protect yourself.

It's not difficult. Just use a defense Magnus before an attack hits you.

You get the same number of chances to guard as the number of enemy attacks.

Also, mind the elements. It's no use guarding against a Fire attack with a Fire Magnus.

To guard against an attack with a Fire element, use a Water Magnus.

In other words, take advantage of the opposite elements to kill the effect.

Let me give you a big hint. Everything is determined by Combo versus Combo.

Many things are determined only after the Combo sequence ends.

What I'm tryin' to say is that damage is never determined until a Combo finishes.

Kinda interesting, isn't it?

This means you don't necessarily have to choose a Water Magnus exactly after the Fire attack.

You gotta think about the Combo units. Just lower the final Combo damage to as close to zero as possible and you'll be fine. ...?! What was that?! Hey, are you going deep into the forest, too?

I saw a girl and two soldiers go in, just a moment ago.

The forest's become dangerous these days. You'd better heed my advice if you want to make it out of here in one piece.

The others just ignored me and went right in...Good luck to them!

You wanna ask me for advice, don't you? The forest has become quite a dangerous place these days.

You'd better heed my advice if you want to make it out of here in one piece.

So how about it? Are you gonna ask me for advice? A large, dried-up tree trunk is blocking the path. Oh man. This tree trunk is blocking my path. Since I can't do anything about it by myself, guess I gotta head back to the village for now. We'll have to do something about this tree trunk to get through. If I could trap some flames into a Blank Magnus then...

Flames...Flames... Hmm...I remember seeing a fireplace in the village mayor's house. This tree trunk is blocking my way. If only I had some fire, maybe I could burn it and get by... A tree trunk is blocking my way. If only I had some fire, maybe I could burn it and get by... Leather Hat Ice Dagger Bamboo Shoot E000504D Forest 3:03 Not bad. These fangs fetch a handsome price these days. Girl Gram...Leon... My oh my, look at what we have here. A load of fresh Magnus... These could come in handy. H...Hey!! You're...stealing their things?!

They're my friends, you know! They were your friends. These won't be doing them much good now. We gotta do what we can to survive, right?

After all, I don't hear them complaining.

Besides, I'm not stripping them bare,

I'll only take what I need.

Catch! You...

Gram's pendant... Leon's bracelet...

You want me to give these items to their families, to help them remember...is that it? You know, I...Maybe I... That's your share of the loot. Enough to shut you up, I hope. ...What?!

How could you be so... I won't accept goods stolen from my friends!

How insulting to the dead!! Hey! Wait...don't go! I...um... Thank you...for saving me.

My name is . I'm glad you came when you did. I didn't fight that thing to save you, .

A Sabre Dragon's fangs will fetch me a juicy sum. End of story. Um...You're from Mira...the City of Illusion, aren't you? How could you tell? Because you have a Guardian Spirit with you. I knew as soon as I saw you.

It's said that only the people of Mira can summon Guardian Spirits to this world... You seem to know a lot about Guardian Spirits. In ancient times, at the threshold between this world and another...

Souls from both worlds would meet, their fates entwined...

The visiting soul would become a Guardian Spirit.

Yet very few were able to hear a spirit's voice...

and those bonded with a Guardian Spirit would receive great knowledge and power... But I'm surprised.

I thought that was just a legend... Some old tale passed around in fireside chats. Well, there's no way of telling if someone really has a guardian.

I wouldn't blame anyone if they thought we were just hallucinating or something. Right, ? I'm only a ghost! I'm right here! Huh? Was that voice...your guardian?

I thought I heard a faint voice...in my mind. You mean you heard 's voice? I did. Just barely, though... So, your name is . I'm Xelha.

Nice to meet you, ! Pleasure to meet you. Whatever! Come on, don't be mean. I'm happy to meet you. Don't be like that. Let's be friends, okay, ? Okay. Pleasure to meet you. Why? ... *giggle* Your voice tickles me... It feels strange. Hey , ever since I woke up at that village, you've been acting kinda funny.

That reminds me, Doc Larikush was worried about amnesia... Like I'd hit my head, or something.

Don't tell me you've lost your memory and forgot everything that happened before that! Is that it? I don't remember. I remember. What...no way! You've gotta be kidding me. What's going on here? Really? Well, that's good to hear. I was kind of worried...

But... Let's talk about this later.

This doesn't look like a nice place to chat.

I figure you'll remember soon enough. Hey, , ... I have to go to the ancient ruins deep in the forest.

What about you two? We're headed that way, too. You want to go together? If you don't mind.

But before we leave... Could you spare me a minute? Though it pains me to leave you here... My mission cannot wait.

Gram...Leon... Thank you...for everything. Cast light upon the darkened earth... Save those lost in despair...

SCRUMPTIOUS BLUEBIRDS LIVE IN THIS FOREST. CATCHING THEM IS PROHIBITED, BECAUSE I SAID SO. —LORD RODOLFO What do you say, ? Let's help. Let's not help. Man with a Bracelet So, you have an interest in animals as well, do you? I've always dreamed of stuffing one of those birds!

Beyond the shrine gates over there, there's a nest full of them in the bushes. So, you've come to understand what animals think, too! I've always dreamed of stuffing one of those birds!

Beyond the shrine gates over there, there's a nest full of them in the bushes.

Bluebirds are very timid creatures. If they sense your presence nearby, they'll fly away in fright.

Take advantage of this nature of theirs and steer the birds toward me.

Just try walking past their nest a couple of times. You'll get the hang of it in no time. Good luck! I hate people who don't understand how animals think. Why don't you get lost? I'm a professor of zoology. I understand animal languages, so I'm able to communicate with them.

What am I doing right now? I'm looking for a Bluebird of Happiness. They're very timid and difficult to catch. If only I could find their nest... I'm a professor of zoology. I understand animal languages, so I'm able to communicate with them.

What am I doing right now? I'm setting a trap to catch a Bluebird of Happiness.

You've come at a good time. Will you help me out here? I'm just itching to catch a Bluebird of Happiness. What? You still want to talk? Bluebirds are very timid creatures. I'd prefer that you don't go near them.

They have a peculiar instinct. When they sense danger, they fly away, but return to their nest soon after.

I'm trying to catch them by taking advantage of this instinct. But I can't find any nests. What? You still want to talk? The bluebirds are very timid creatures. I'd prefer you don't walk around this area.

...

Or maybe...Hey! Have you changed your mind? Are you willing to help me out? What? You still want to talk? You must be very curious about the bluebirds.

Hmm. If I scare them away each time, and they return to their nests, would they drop from fatigue eventually?

I've tried this four times already... No luck, though. It sounded like a great idea when I thought of it... Just give it a couple of tries. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it. Good luck! Look! I've caught a bluebird at long last! Can you believe this?!

I'm so excited. This must be the luckiest day of my life! The rest are all yours. You can do as you please. Stuffing this bird has been a dream of mine for such a long time...

Soon my dream will come true. I can hardly wait. I'm Hawqal, a professor of zoology. I'm indeed a son of Quzman's. So, my father's dying? That's quite a pity.

But I'm too busy right now. I'm looking for a bluebird. I'll go back home, as soon as I catch one. I said I'll go to Quzman's when I catch a bluebird. You want me to sign the Family Tree? Indeed. I'm Hawqal, professor of zoology. Hawqal I'll visit Quzman as soon as I finish savoring this moment. Please go on without me. *chuckle* *chuckle* *chuckle*

Ah, I can't stop laughing. I can stuff the bluebird! My dream's come true at last!

It's been my dream since I was a boy. I'm so happy! I won't be able to sleep tonight!

Will you excuse me, please? It's possible to soak it in a container of chemicals. But I'm not exactly fond of that method.

I prefer to strip their skin, and dump the internal organs, and then...

It's been my dream since I was a boy. I'm so happy! I won't be able to sleep tonight!

Will you excuse me, please? Hey! You've been a great help, so I'll sign it for you. Here they come! Good! Good! Good! We did it! We caught some Bluebirds of Happiness! So close! We almost had it!

My head...not again... It's you, Meemai... Thanks...I'll live.

They caught me off guard. Looks like they took that shining Magnus, too.

I can't believe how lucky I am, though. To find him here, of all places... Giacomo! The man who killed my grandfather, and Fee!

I'll get you, Giacomo! Let's go after him. Let's just leave him alone. Yeah, that's what I wanted to hear! I'll make him pay...for everything he's done. You're kidding me, . I'm going after Giacomo.

It took forever to find him. You think I'd let him go, just like that?! Well, now... I wonder where they went... We should go back to the village first, , and ask around about the battleship.

Located on the upper right corner of each Magnus card, you'll see a number. This number is the card's Spirit Number.

The amount of damage you inflict on enemies changes based on the combination of the Spirit Numbers in your hand.

Certain combinations of Spirit Numbers in a hand give you a bonus called a Prize.

There are two types of Prizes: Straight and Pair. A Straight occurs when the Spirit Numbers in your hand are in order. A Straight will give you a bigger bonus than a Pair.

Both descending and ascending orders are okay.

If all the Spirit Numbers in your hand are in straight order, a Straight will occur. A Pair occurs when all the Spirit Numbers in your hand can be paired with another card in your hand.

If there's even a single card in your hand that cannot be paired, you won't get the Pair prize.

The order of the Spirit Numbers in your hand are not taken into consideration. Just make sure that all the cards can be paired with another.

Pairs are easier to get than Straights and give you a smaller bonus. If your deck becomes empty during your offensive turn, a Deck Shuffle will occur.

In this case, your turn will be skipped because there's no card that can be drawn.

All Magnus cards, including any powerful ones in your current hand, will be shuffled.

It's advisable to use as many Magnus as possible before a Deck Shuffle occurs.

A Deck Shuffle can only occur during your offensive turn.

If you notice a Deck Shuffle during your defensive turn, adapt your strategy accordingly. Any Magnus that you use during your defensive turn is regarded as having been used on yourself.

If Poisoned, use a Magnus with the antidote attribute and your condition will be cured.

Use your defensive turn wisely and you will be able to cure your conditions without using an offensive turn.

However, remember that if you use a Poison-inflicting Magnus during defense, you will become Poisoned.

Sometimes, you may even find yourself confused as to whether your turn is defensive or offensive.

If this is the case, listen carefully. Let your ears guide you.

Eventually your body will be able to distinguish and react just to the sound.

Once this happens, you've become a master like me.

Everyone needs something in this rotten world to ease their worries. Besides, withered flowers make me sad. Hey mister, you won't find anything of interest in here. There's no reason for you to keep hanging around. Why don't you just go away? Hey! You're Palolo's friend, aren't you?

I can tell because you look pretty violent, and not too bright... That's just what Palolo told me you looked like.

If you're his friend, you're allowed to enter. That little...ugh! I wonder what else that punk is saying about me. This is Palolo's secret hideout. Don't tell any grownups, okay? What's wrong? If you're out of breath, slow down and take some deep breaths. Remember this town has really thin air. You must be surprised by the clouds around here, huh?

This is the only place you'll find in the world with so many great clouds. Actually, there is one other place...

You can also find them in Diadem, Land of the Clouds. The clouds are amazing, aren't they? You can also find them in Diadem, Land of the Clouds.

What? You've been there? Wow!

Diadem has red clouds, but our white clouds are way better, aren't they? Amazing, aren't they? These clouds can only be found in Pherkad and Diadem.

But if that Mal-Malperc-amacallit is revived...you can kiss cloud watching goodbye. What's the matter? You're really sweating! See the patterns on the ground here? Teacher said these patterns may have some special meaning.

Aren't they amazing? I have to write a report about them. It's hard to figure out...

These patterns on the ground might be from an ancient civila-cilivazashimum.

Our teacher told us so. I'm takin' a rest. I'm tired of studying about ancient civilizashumums. ???

Wow, you're so sweaty. I have to learn about ancient civil-civilizashums for homework.

I'm not sure why, but I'm supposed to draw a picture of this pattern, so I'm trying to memorize it. Mmmmmm. It's too hard.

I wonder if I can just memorize it... I wonder what an ancient civil-cilibazashun is. Booorrring. Studying's for the birds! I'm taking a little break from it. Oh, Palolo ordered you to run laps too, huh?

Boy, you've been running hard. You're really sweating a lot. Palolo ordered me to run one hundred laps.

I've run ninety nine, is the next number zero? I wonder when I'll get to one hundred. Palolo ordered me to run one hundred laps.

One hundred laps... One hundred laps... One hundred laps...

I wonder what the number before one hundred is...Never mind. I can run one hundred laps in no time. One hundred laps... One hundred laps... One hundred laps...

I wonder what the number before one hundred is...Never mind. I can run one hundred laps in no time. Palolo ordered me to run one hundred laps, but I'm tired.

Mister! Don't tell Palolo I'm taking a rest. You've been running laps, too? You're following Palolo's orders, right? Palolo ordered me to run one hundred laps.

How much is one hundred... I should have studied up on it before I started running. Palolo ordered me to run one hundred laps.

But I don't know how much a 'hundred' is, so I don't know how much I have to run. One hundred laps... One hundred laps... One hundred laps...

Never mind. I can run one hundred laps in no time. No...I can't run any more. I have to take a rest. Don't tell Palolo about this. *sniff* *sniff* What are you doing, mister? Boo hoo hoo!

I want a Mountain Apple! I want a Mountain Apple! I want a Mountain Apple!

I want a sweet and sour Mountain Apple! Thank you! I'll give this to you. I picked it up a while back. The Mountain Apple was delicious! Thank you! Boo hoo hoo!

Buy me a Mountain Apple! I won't move unless I have a Mountain Apple. Boo hoo hoo!

I want a Mountain Apple! I want a Mountain Apple! I want a Mountain Apple! Imperial soldiers were busy looking for someone...It's not you there were looking for, was it? No! I just bought you a Mountain Apple a little while ago. This child is so spoiled! All she ever thinks about is toys, candy, and Mountain Apples. Why is she so selfish? Where did I go wrong raising her? I said NO! I just bought you a Mountain Apple a little while ago. Thank you. I bought one for her a little while ago. She's being so difficult, I don't know what to do... Stop crying! I just bought you a Mountain Apple a little while ago. What a bad little girl. She thinks I'll buy her anything if she cries! What can I do for you, young one?

You came along just in time. Now that I'm old, things feel so much heavier.

I'll give this to you. Please take good care of it. Dark Flare Lv 2 We've only heard bad news lately.

Since parents have instructed their children to be quiet, the town's way too quiet.

I wish we could live in a happy, lively town. Whoa! Why are you sweating so heavily? Are you saying it's my fault? That's right. I told you guys like that are no match for me! What are you doin'?! Hey! Watch where you're goin'! What do you want? Can't you see I'm taking a stroll with my girl? Why don't you make like a tree, and get outta my way? You just don't get it, do you? Maybe I outta teach you some manners! You're in the way! I'm walking here. Outta the way! People are wary of leaving their homes these days. Is it because of that ancient whatchamacallit guy?

I better head back home, myself. You should be gettin' back soon, too, travelers. What's the matter with you? How annoying. Why don't you clean yourself up, and wipe off that sweat? No, I don't believe it. That's amazing! What? You really did that, too? You're sooo strong, my darling honeybuns! He...hey. Try to watch where you're going! You're gonna hurt other people, like me! Could you, like...get out of our way? Or are you, like...trying to flirt with me? You don't have a chance, you know. I'm taken as you can see. Could you, like...get out of our way? I'm taking a walk with my honeybuns. And you're like totally in our way. No, I don't believe it. That's amazing! What! You really did that, too? You're sooo amazing, my darling honeybuns! This road's too steep for old ladies like me.

I'm thinking I should move to Cebalrai or somewhere else. It would be much more peaceful there.

Oh yes! I don't need this anymore, so I'd like you to have it. I haven't heard any good news lately at all...

I'm thinking of moving to Cebalrai or somewhere else. It would be much more peaceful there.

Oh yes! I don't need this anymore, so I'd like you to have it. There's no doubt about it. The hills in Pherkad are too steep. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeeeeak. Squeak. Squ-squeak. Squeak squeak. Look at that, ! ...

I'll need your help to take out Giacomo. Back me up, okay? Sure, whatever. Why me? Sure, whatever. Forget it! Whoa, wait a minute.

You're still acting a little strange. I'll tell you again, just in case. Remember, .

The Guardian Spirit's power in battle...depends on its relationship with the one it's guarding.

I'm talking about trust, here.

If it's lost... in other words, if I no longer trust your advice...

Your powers won't be as effective in battle.

I do trust you, and find your advice helpful,

but this won't work unless our trust is mutual. Okay?

When you have advice for me,

think about how it might affect our bond.

A healthy bond will help us fight our enemies in the long run. You see what I'm saying, right? When you have advice for me,

think about how it might effect our bond.

A healthy bond will help us fight our enemies in the long run. You see what I'm saying, right? Of course. No, I don't. That's the spirit! Let's get going, ! Sheesh. Didn't you hear a word I said?

Or are you just trying to annoy me? The land is moving... Child Weird! This rain tastes salty! E0005085 Outside(Back):02 A dirty old man named Quzman lives near that cave.

He always says, "You're just like I used to be," but he only says it to butter you up for favors.

You shouldn't get too involved. Unless, that is, you have nothing better to do with your time. Oh, you've already promised to help him? You must have a lot of free time. Helping out dirty old Quzman... Enough talk about that dirty old man, Quzman, already...

A lot of Imperial soldiers have been coming to Pherkad lately.

Before now, the Empire's never paid any attention to our remote island. I wonder what's going on. Maybe it's because I've gotten old. Whenever something unusual or out of the ordinary happens, I feel so worried. My memory's gotten so bad lately. Must be a sign of old age...I even forget unusual happenings.

I think something unusual has happened in Moonguile Forest...Or maybe not. Oh bother...must be a sign of old age. Something's come back to life, hasn't it? What was its name...

I'm pretty sure it was a bad guy... Or...maybe it wasn't... Oh, I don't know... It doesn't look like my Cloudgull will heal fully enough to be able to fly again.

There's also a rumor that the Empire's trying to invade our nation.

My Cloudgull, the Empire...Man, oh man, I've gotta do something, but I don't know what. Still, why would they want to take over a poor, rural nation like ours?

One thing's for sure. If they try to harm my Cloudgull, I'll make them feel very sorry. I think it's time I give up hoping that my Cloudgull will heal enough to fly well again.

I wanted to release it back into the wild. Without the company of other Cloudgulls, the little guy must be getting lonely.

Huh? Are you saying you'll take it to a place where it can make friends with other animals?

I see. I'd be lonely, but I think it's probably best for the Cloudgull. Here, take my buddy along with you. Cloudgull I'd better give up hoping that my Cloudgull will heal enough to fly well again.

I wanted to release it back into the wild. Without the company of other Cloudgulls, the little guy must be getting lonely. Come to think of it, very few people come to Pherkad from Cebalrai these days.

Some of the people who left Pherkad for Cebalrai have never come back.

They were most likely killed by the monsters in Nunki Valley. You should be careful. Take care of my Cloudgull.

A lot of people have been attacked by monsters in Nunki Valley recently. You should be very careful. Is my Cloudgull doing okay? I hope it keeps on good terms with the other animals.

A lot of people have been attacked by monsters in Nunki Valley recently. You should be careful. I've heard an ancient god has been resurrected. I wonder what will become of this world.

Still, what interest would a god have in a remote town like this? If I were a god, I'd target juicier locations. Take care, my Cloudgull.

I've heard a lot of bad rumors about this ancient god or something. You should be careful, too, all right. Is my Cloudgull doing okay? I hope it keeps on good terms with the other animals.

I've heard an ancient god has been resurrected. I wonder what will become of this world.

Still, what interest would the god have in a remote town like this? If I were a god, I'd target juicier locations. I admit that people love themselves the most.

I hope the ancient god won't target my home or where the Cloudgulls live. Hey! Don't talk to me, mister. I'm playing "cloudy hide and seek."

Go on! Get away from me. You're gonna get me caught! My mom's been acting strange lately. She used to tell me to play outside, but now she tells me to stay at home.

When she tells me not to do something, I wanna do it. So I wanna go out. Long time no see, mister.

Finally I can play hide and seek in the clouds.

I don't know why, but my parents tell me they have no time for playing. If you go straight, you'll see a big door. It's the entrance to the Lord's Mansion.

You look like you're not from around here. If you go to see the lord, remember to behave yourself. Young people don't seem to like the lord's way of doin' things. They even call him bad names.

I'm just mighty thankful we're living in peace. Have you met the lord?

Wonderful person, isn't he?

He's not? Hmmm. I don't understand how young people think anymore. Have you met the lord?

Wonderful person, isn't he?

He's not? Hmmm. I don't understand how young people think these days. Lord Rodolfo is a person who finishes what he starts.

But no one thinks of him like that. Deep down in his heart, I know he's got a good conscience. Clouds are everywhere in this town. You can't see a thing. Greythorne Squeeeak. Meemai Squeak squeak! Squeak? Squeak. Squ-squeak. Don't let them escape. E000508C Wharf:03 Let's get on the liner. Okay, let's go. Not yet. Okay. Let's get things organized first. The Diadem Express liner will be departing soon. All passengers must board. Let's hurry, . Imperial Soldier There they are!! Over here! Move!! They found us! Let's go! Erm...The liner is underway! Travelers, let me give you some advice. Don't think of flying to Diadem with your own wings!

We all have wings, but it's impossible for us to fly from island to island.

It may be because our hearts have grown weaker, and our wings have followed.

Anyway, if you want to go to Diadem, Land of the Clouds, you should take the liner. We're standing right beside it. Impressive ship you have there! Where did you get it?

It must have belonged to someone very high up. Yes, impressive indeed! I wonder what's going to happen to the world... Well, whatever happens, I hope to be around to tell the tale.

Is that a selfish thought? You feel the same way, don't you? This is the Express Liner to Diadem, our nearest neighbor, and land of knights and clouds!

Diadem is ruled by King Ladekahn, renowned for his wisdom and virtue. I'm sorry. The liner is undergoing maintenance work. Please come back later. Is this your ship? ...A true beauty it is! Is this your...erm...ship? ...A true beauty he...she...it is! Want to hear about the Five Whales of this world? What do you say, ? What do you think, ? Yes. Let's listen. Not interested. Yes. Let's listen. I'm not interested. Yeah. Sounds interesting. Yes. It sounds interesting. Okay. I'll tell you what I know. The five islands floating in the Sky are called Whales.

Each Whale has its own nation. The five nations are: our very own Sadal Suud Frontier;

Diadem, Land of the Clouds; Anuenue, the Rainbow Nation; Mira, City of Illusion...

And, of course, Alfard Empire. But some say there's another island, another nation.

Legends tell of a land of witches at the far end of the world. I don't know if I buy that, though. Ah, sorry. I'm not interested. Um... Maybe later. Yeah, of course. You're young enough to go and see for yourself.

I wish I had gone and seen the world when I was young...

I can't just pack up and leave my wife and kids... Breathe iiin, breathe ooouuuttt... Breathe iiin, breathe ooouuuttt... Breathe iiin, breathe ooouuuttt.

Blue sky, white clouds, the sun is shining and the air is pure... What a great feeling!

You should try it, too!

Breathe iiin, breathe ooouuuttt... Breathe iiin, breathe ooouuuttt... Breathe iiin, breathe ooouuuttt.

Erm...oh no... I'm starting to feel dizzy... I know it's good for my health, but I guess I shouldn't overdo it. The world was spinning, just now... Breathe iiin, breathe ooouuuttt... Breathe iiin, breathe ooouuuttt... Breathe iiin, breathe ooouuuttt.

To be honest with you, it feels best when you're breathing in and out of a plastic bag or something.

But you can imagine how that'd look, so it's banned down here. You can get arrested if you're seen doing that. I never do it myself, of course. Prison life never caught my fancy. You watch yourself, okay? That Winglet on your back... So it's true the people of the Empire no longer use their own wings...

Relying on devices like that... Are you sure it's a good idea?

Making things with your own hands, cooking, walking, and running with your own legs...

That's what life's all about, if you ask me. The shape of our wings is determined by the nature of our hearts.

Wouldn't losing our wings mean losing our hearts? Replacing their wings with machines, invading other nations... What's it all for?

Since when did people start doing these things? I think it's such a tragedy. All I ask for is a peaceful life, making what we need to get by. That's all I wish...

Now, even that is too much to ask. What has the world come to? This is just something I heard, so I'm not sure if it's true...

Some kind of power, not the Empire but something else, is threatening our world, and our way of life.

Are we going to war again? Why can't we just live in peace? I told you not to come outside! Imperial soldiers are everywhere. Who knows what they might do to you! But if I stayed inside, I wouldn't be able to see you!

The Empire doesn't look like it wants to harm us... ...Yet. It doesn't mean they won't start. Stay away from them, all right? I will... I've been losing sleep ever since the Empire started showing up. I wonder what they're up to. I told you not to come outside! Strange monsters are everywhere. Who knows what they might do to you! But if I stayed inside, I wouldn't be able to see you!

A couple of monsters aren't going to keep me from seeing the one I love! Er...Yeah. Right... Guess you have a point there. Yup.

(Hmmm...Maybe she's the one I should be wary of...) What's more scary than the Empire, or any monster? I guess I know, now... I told you not to come outside! There's an ancient god up to no good. Who knows what he might do to you! But if I stayed inside, I wouldn't be able to see you!

And if you think I'm in danger, protect me—whatever the cost. Save my life and die in glory!

You'll live forever in my memories... Wouldn't that be romantic? Wouldn't it?! Er...Yeah. Right... That would be romantic, I guess. Yup.

(Man, this is getting heavy... I should dump her while I can... ...if she'll let me, that is.) Everyone's worried about the resurrected god, but for me, this girl here is so much more of a problem... He's worrying too much about the Empire, among other things. A little confidence wouldn't hurt... He's worrying too much about the monsters, among other things. He should learn to believe in love... He's worrying too much about the ancient god. I can hardly wait for his glorious self-sacrifice! A stone statue of a person, wings spread wide—the symbol of Pherkad. Let's get on the Mindeer, ! Let's get on the Mindeer, . Let's ride the White Dragon, . Shall we ride the White Dragon, ? Okay, let's ride! Not now. Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Squeeeeak. Squeak squeak! Sabin It's no big deal for me to go home. It's where I live, after all.

I'll go back in a little while. Don't worry. I'm a man of my word! Man with a Bracelet Hey, don't play games with me, okay? Just give me the Family Tree so I can sign it. You again?! I make up my mind, and you have to come along again. Just hand me the Family Tree. Well, well, well. Looky what we have here. I'll take it, with compliments. Hey, take a look at that! This is a sight for sore eyes! You've read it, haven't you? Huh?

So this is for me, is it? Great! Hand me the Family Tree so I can sign it for you! Looky what we have here...I've finally made up my mind. Just hurry up and hand me that Family Tree. I told you I won't be going home while Nubata's there. I'm not going to sign my name, either. Quzman's sick, right? That isn't news to me, of course. I see him every day.

By the way...my daughter insists on getting herself a bluebird... Says it'll bring her good luck.

If you could catch one for her, we'll return home. Hey, anything for the kids, right? Go and catch a bluebird for my daughter, will you? I'll go home if you do. ...What should I do? I can almost hear him saying it. "Even though I'm your foster father, it doesn't make me any less of a parent!"

This must be the biggest ordeal of my life. What to do...What to do... Guess it won't hurt to tell you since you're not involved... ...No. I'm having second thoughts, now. What if we bumped into each other?! I don't think I could deal with that.

What can I do? What can I possibly do? You got any ideas for me? To me it's no big deal that I was adopted. But what will the others think?! My reputation will be ruined.

Anyway...it's no use worrying. Guess I'll deal with it when the time comes. I can talk my way out of this! Still...could I really handle it? Maybe I need more time to think about this. So Rushd went back, did she?

All right, all right. I suppose I'll be going, too. This is it, then.

By the way, I hope that fat slob, Nubata, isn't gonna be there. Please don't tell me he's there! He's already there. What should I say, ? He's already there. No, he's not there. Nubata is already at Quzman's house as we speak. What? He's back, then? That changes matters now, doesn't it? I refuse to go!

I don't know why, but that guy simply hates me. Sorry, but I won't sign the Family Tree, either. He...uh...he's not there...heh heh. You're not a very good liar. He's already home, isn't he?

I don't know why, but that guy simply hates me. Sorry, but I won't be going. And I won't sign that Family Tree either. I see. If he's not there, then it's no problem. We simply don't get along too well, that's all.

Hand me the Family Tree, and I'll sign it for you. Fair and square. Hey, give me a break, will ya?! As long as Nubata's around, I'm not going anywhere near Quzman's place. All right, all right. I'll be going home, too. This is it, then.

I bet you enjoy seeing me in this dilemma, don't you? Talk about bad taste... I don't want to go... I don't feel like it... Nope. There's no way I'm going to...

Hey, just kidding, all right? I'll go back. I really will. Boy with a Bracelet What? You're telling me to go home because my grandpa's sick? No way! I wanna play some more!

...I'll go home if you bring Rushd along, too. Who's Rushd? You're telling me you don't know? You're a little slow, aren't you? She's the girl sitting on the rail! What a cocky kid! What do you say, ? As I told you before, I'll go home if Rushd comes, too. Will you take her there? Let's take Rushd there. I don't know. Okay. I'll take her there right away! All right. I'll take her there right away! Deal! I'll be waiting back home then! You promised, remember? I can hardly wait! I'll sign that Family Tree for you. Sallam Remember! I'll be waiting, okay? Bring Rushd to the house! You promised! I don't know if I can take her right now. I'm not going home, then. And I won't sign my name either! Okay. I can go home now. See ya! Hey, don't you want me to go home? Just hand me the Family Tree thingy so I can sign it and go back! Hey, cut it out! I'm on my way home, okay? Just hand me the Family Tree thingy! Please? Pretty please? I really want to go home! I'll sign the Family Tree thingy! Wheeeeee! This is so fun! It's like I'm flying over the clouds!

Swooooooooshhhh! Wheeeeeeeee!

I love running around like this. I'm a good boy, you know. This is good, clean fun! You're being mean! Why won't you show me the Family Tree thingy?! I was so lonely!

Let me see the Family Tree thingy, and I'll sign it for you! Girl with a Bracelet You brought me a Bluebird of Happiness? Wowwwwww!! This is great!! Thank you so much!!!

Tee hee! I've wanted one of these for a long long time!

Tell me if there's something I can do for you in return. Huh? I don't need that. The one I have is enough. You want me to go back to Grandpa's house? Okay. So I have to write my name in the Family Tree, then? Rushd All righty. See you at Grandpa's. Ta-ta for now! Grandpa's sick? I see. He didn't look too well.

You want me to write my name on this paper before going to Grandpa's house, right?

If I write my name, that means I have to go right back to Grandpa's place, doesn't it?

I've been looking for a bluebird. They bring you good luck, you know. I haven't found any, though.

So, I don't want to go home yet! And I'm not going to write my name! I'm not going back until I find a cute little bluebird. I won't write my name, either! I guess a promise is a promise. I'll go back to Grandpa's house. Hand me the Family Tree! The unhappy-looking man beside me is my daddy. He's been feeling really down lately.

Anyway, forget about Daddy... They say you can find Bluebirds of Happiness somewhere on this island.

I'd really love to have one. If you find one, promise to bring the birdie to me, okay? Please? Hey, you wanna know something? I'm looking for a cute little Bluebird of Happiness. They're somewhere on this island!

I really really really really want one! If you find one, please bring it to me! Thanks for the bluebird. It's my most favoritest thing in the whole wide world!

Let me know if there's anything I can do to thank you! E0005093 In front of Lord's Mansion:04 Imperial Soldier What do you want?

One of our Empire's battleships is in berth at this mansion. Move along, nothing to see. Well, I didn't expect them to usher us through the front door...

What should we do? Stirring things up with a fight wouldn't be too wise, I suppose... Stop!! Palolo III Hehehe! Palolo III, Master of Shadows, at your service! Catch me if you can! You! Come back here!! What was that all about?! Ahh...That little devil! You saw him, too, didn't you? Ah, he's been sneaking into houses all over the city. That boy is up to no good, I tell you.

I heard he even snuck into the Lord's Mansion the other day.

Is there no end to his mischief?

Umm, if I see him again, I'll be sure to catch him and teach him a lesson! Did he really sneak into the Lord's Mansion? How did he do that? Hm, how should I know? There could be a hidden entrance somewhere, or something.

I'm surprised he didn't get caught by the Imperial soldiers. A hidden entrance? If only I could get my hands on that kid, and ask him... How dare he sneak into the Lord's Mansion! Guests from the Empire are staying there right now. Should we ask her about the kid? Good idea. Don't bother. What's that kid's name...Palolo, was it? Do you know of any place where I might find him? Why are you asking me? I'm not his mother, you know. To tell you the truth, I don't actually know much about him.

Hmm...let me think. I do know of one house he hasn't broken into yet. If you keep an eye on it, you might be able to catch him doing something mischievous in there. And where's this house exactly? It's on the right-hand side of the entrance to the city. Across from the tavern.

Ohh that kid...I'd watch the house myself if I didn't have to cook dinner. How many times do I have to tell you? This mansion is off-limits. One of our battleships is docked here.

If you keep disturbing us, we'll have to arrest you. Which means more paperwork. Just get lost! I tell ya, this is one odd city. The people look humdrum, but there's a strange little punk running around causing trouble.

Why do I have to stand watch in this city? Why did the Emperor need troops in Sadal Suud, anyway? Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Squeak squeak. Giacomo must be on that ship. Which means we gotta get up to the roof. Let's find our way up to the ship! Shouldn't we find first? Let's find our way up to the ship! What about ?! Hold it right there! We don't need to stick around here anymore, now that Giacomo's gone.

We should leave now, before they notice us. Let's go, . E000509A Pub:05 Bartender Someone snuck into the Lord's Mansion and caused some kind of trouble. I dunno what exactly, though.

The Imperial soldiers are on edge, so it's better to stay out of trouble, for now. This is the second time folks from the Empire have paid us a visit during the recent weeks.

During their first visit, they came in a smaller ship, so maybe they were just scouting the area.

But this time they've turned up in that huge ship of theirs. What's all the interest for? Have they found the ancient treasures of some lost civilization? If that's the case, I wish they'd share some with us. We're a poor country, living on what little we have.

If they found it in our backyard, don't we deserve a share? Ha ha ha...Keep dreamin' right? I heard from one of the regulars that the entire sky's gone crazy. Strange things are happening all over the world.

Here in Sadal Suud, it's the mysterious crack in Moonguile Forest.

I don't know much about it, but they say the crack is some kind of portal to a strange distant place. I can't remember what they called it... They had a name for this crack of theirs.

Whatever its name was, I'd stay away from it. Who knows what might happen if you went near it. I heard from one of the regulars that Malper-something's returned.

I guess that's bad news. I don't know why exactly, but it's pretty damn bad. Seriously bad...Right?

Well to be honest with you, I don't care that much as long as this Malper-whatever doesn't cause me and my business any trouble. What was his name again? Was it Mul-purr-show? ...It's quite a tongue twister whatever it is.

Whatever its name is, I'd stay away from that thing. From what I've heard, nothing good can come out of messing with it. I don't know the exact details of what happened, but from what I've heard, the Empire got what was coming to them. He he he. Lord Rodolfo is a complete idiot! He's a coward, he's pathetic, he's... Erp. Hic. Stop it right there. Someone might be listening. That's one drink too many for you. Oh shut up! It's all his fault. With Rodolfo licking the Empire's boots, it's little wonder the Imperials push us around. Stop it. We all live in peace thanks to Lord Rodolfo's efforts. You should know that. In peace? Since when do you call having Imperial soldiers all over the place "peace"? We should kick the Empire out, and be done with it! This is our town, dammit! Whaddya want? *hic* I'm not drunk, ya know... I'm as sober as can be!

Strangers are strutting the streets of OUR town like they own it. *hic* And that's what I'm telling you. Darn! This town...*hic*...is ours. Our town...*hic*

Zzzz...Zzzz...Zzzz... Zzzz...Zzzz...Zzzz... Humph! I don't know much about it, but they say they're looking for a criminal.

I bet they don't really care if they catch the culprit or not. They just want an excuse to push us around. Hey, stop it. If you drink too much, your wife will get mad. Sorry 'bout my friend. Please don't tell anyone what he said. He's too drunk to know what he's saying... Looks like there's finally something exciting happening. Apparently, there's a criminal on the run.

It'd be very exciting if the criminal was caught right in front of me. But what are the chances of that happening? It's not like I'm talking to the guy, right? Ha ha! I saw a gambler in here the other day who said he had gotten in just two or three days ago from a village.

He was such a country bumpkin. I saw him get burned real bad and lose everything. In the end, he just made things worse for himself by getting violent.

The fool ended up getting arrested and is now being held at the Lord's Mansion.

Man, what a luckless jerk! Few people gamble these days so it's gotten pretty boring around here.

Hey, maybe you can do something about it. Life's become so humdrum, I need more excitement! These days, I can't even find anyone to gamble with. Things have gotten so dull around here. Guess it has something to do with the bad economy, too.

Maybe it's time I quit gambling, too. Hey, don't talk to me. I don't want to draw the attention of the Imperial soldiers.

How about leaving me alone, okay? Have you seen them? The creeps who came on that ship?

They're like rabid animals. They get violent at the drop of a hat.

Those guys really scare me. If you know what's good for you, you'll stay away from them, too. Hey, remember what I told you. Stay away from those creeps or you're cruisin' for a bruisin'. Have you seen it? You know what I'm talking about, right? You know, that mysterious crack everyone's talking about.

I hear once you're sucked into that thing, you're pretty much a goner. That crack thing is just not normal.

Hey, let me give you some friendly advice. If you know what's good for yourself, you should stay away that crazy place. Have you heard the stories? You know, about that Merpe-something.

They say once that Merpe-whatever is onto you, you're as good as dead. Yeah, I get it. That Merpe-whatever's bad news for everyone.

But man, the recent string of events have just been crazy.

The Empire, all these monsters, the Merpe-thing. Heck, abnormal things are starting to become normal these days. Things abnormal becoming normal. Now that can't possibly be normal. He...hello. Welcome to our pub.

Pss...if you don't want to be harrassed by the Imperial soldiers, I suggest you leave this place right away. Mountain Apple Wine, produced in Cebalrai, and sparerib a la Pow are this pub's specialty.

We only use young Pow delivered to us monthly, straight from Cebalrai.

The sparerib is tenderized in hot water overnight, and then seasoned by pouring Mountain Apple Wine sauce over it.

What do you think? Sounds delicious, doesn't it? I bet you wanna try some, huh? Whoa, did I hear that right? I can't believe they eat Pows here!

What will Cedr say when he hears of this? Let's tell him. We should keep this a secret. Are you serious?! ? If we tell him...he would be... Well, the truth's the truth, I guess.

When I see him again, I'll tell him. Yeah. We can't tell him this. Okay, let's keep it a secret from Cedr. Cebalrai Pows are very different from the Pows elsewhere. Their meat has very little Pow odor.

I bet the people in Cebalrai make lots of money from growing and selling their Pows. The regulars have been saying that our sparerib isn't as good as it used to be.

I can guess why, too. I hear the Pows in Cebalrai have been acting restless lately for some unknown reason.

Maybe they're stressed out... Whatever the reason, their meat's become tougher to chew and much less tasty. What can we do about it? It's our main dish, taking it off the menu is an option I'd really like to avoid. I'm thinking about taking spareribs off our menu. Why bother serving them to our customers if they're no good?

We haven't changed the way we prepare the dish. The problem's with the quality of the Pow meat. It's become tough and very unappetizing. Whatchamacallit's been resurrected, right? I wonder if the Pows are restless because they sense their owners' fear. Imperial Soldier It was you, wasn't it? You're the slimy worm who did it, aren't you? Why don't you just confess right now?

Once I have your confession, I'll beat you to within an inch of your life. I'll let you know how strong we Imperial soldiers are. What's the matter with you? Haven't you ever seen an Imperial? What?! You thought we don't drink or something? We're looking for the guy who snuck into the Lord's Mansion. It was you, wasn't it? Just say yes and we'll give you the full treatment. Why are you staring at us? We're not on display, kid. Get lost. Of course, you don't have a bone to pick with us, do you? Stop it. It's useless to pick a fight with a country boy like this. Leave him alone. I'm looking for the man who snuck into the mansion without permission. If you gain any information, let me know right away. A city made of stone. Geez, that's so out of date. No wonder they call this place the frontier. Greythorne Squeak squeak. Meemai Squ-squeak. Squeak squeak! Squeeeeak. Squeeeak. Squeak. A tapestry of quiet colors. It suits the frontier atmosphere of Sadal Suud. Hey, don't touch! It's Mountain Apple Wine. You're too young for that.

Come back again when you think you've grown up enough. I haven't seen you for a while, but you appear to have grown up.

Okay, help yourself to the Mountain Apple Wine over there. It's empty now. The barrel seems old and stained from its past contents. Empty bottles are in the wooden box. E00050A1 House 1:06 My sister serves as a maid in the Lord's Mansion. She says that...

Well, I shouldn't be telling you this, but...

Our lord can boss maids around, but when it comes to Imperial soldiers, all he can do is lick their boots!

I shouldn't possibly tell strangers something so shameful. I hear King Ladekahn of Diadem is a fine ruler, a true paragon of the noble virtues a ruler should possess.

It's to be expected since Diadem is a nation of mighty knights. But he's so very different from our lord, Rodolfo. I don't know why, but ominous rumors have been flying.

I wonder what's so ominous. Do you have any idea? To me, having Rodolfo as a ruler is ominous enough as it is.

I can't think of anything more foreboding than that. I wonder if I'm wrong. A huge ship, some say it's an Imperial ship, is docked at the Lord's Mansion. It must be owned by a person of power.

It may even be Emperor Geldoblame's ship.

Even if it's not the Emperor's, someone very powerful is currently visiting this remote island.

I hope nothing bad happens... I don't care if it's the Empire. But if they want trouble, I hope they take it somewhere else.

We've been living on our own here just fine. I don't want any trouble. The bartender told me there's something strange goin' on in Moonguile Forest.

That forest has always been a little creepy, but now I'm even more spooked to go there. The bartender told me something's been resurrected.

I don't know much about it, but they say it ain't nothin' nice. Dates are written on the dishes in tiny letters. Each anniversary, more dishes are added to the collection. Clean dishes are neatly organized. Vegetable bits and bread crumbs are scattered about. Someone must've been cooking something. It's very warm... A fence prevents you from reaching the flames. DIADEM DIGEST COVER STORY: RESTAURANTS WITH GREAT VIEWS. It's a travel magazine.

There's a Magnus between the pages. Shish Kebab (Medium) DIADEM DIGEST COVER STORY: RESTAURANTS WITH GREAT VIEWS. It's a travel magazine. A dusty water jug is under the shelf. "BETTER CLOUDS AND GARDENS" "BLOOM FLOWER BLOOM!" The bookshelf is full of books on gardening. That's funny... I could have sworn he came in here. Whoa! Palolo III What are you doing here, man?

You're trespassing on my turf—Palolo III, Master of Shadows! Perfect timing. I've been looking for you. Really? Do you wanna be one of my henchmen? No, not exactly.

I need to get into the Lord's Mansion.

I heard you snuck in the other day...Could you tell me how you did it? So, you wanna visit the Lord's Mansion, huh?

I could show you how, but why on earth do you wanna get in there? Why? Well, you see... To get vengeance for my grandfather and brother. I want to save . So, you want vengeance, huh? What does "vengeance" mean anyway? Basically, I'm chasing a bad guy. Hmm...

Okay. No problem. I'll show you how I did it. Ya know, those kind of stories make me a little misty eyed.

But, it's gonna cost you. Let me guess...you're in love. Hey, !

Quit talking through me! I can't believe you made me say that! Ha ha! Okay. No problem. I'll show ya how I did it.

Ya know, those kind of stories make me a little misty eyed. But, it's gonna cost you. No offense, but I'm in a hurry, so...

You have to tell me now. Hold your horses, business is business. Secrets can only be told in return for loot. That's the bottom line.

You bring me the loot, I'll tell you the secret. Loot? That's right. A Rainbow Spider's Web! I'm collecting them.

Bring me one, and I'll tell you the secret. Huh? A spider web? You call that loot? Yup, they're really rare, ya know.

I'm probably the only one who has four of them! Pretty cool, huh? ... Okay, okay. Loot, huh? If you insist...

Oh man, this is annoying. Any idea where I'd find such a web? That's what I like to hear! Okay, let me think...

They're pretty rare, but sometimes I can find one in the bushes, or on a riverbank... Only sometimes, though.

Try lookin' around the river, outside the city. You'll find one if you're lucky. If I'm lucky, huh? I guess I don't have a choice. Let's get this over with. I'll be in my hideout.

If you find the web, take it there. I'll tell the boys you'll be comin'.

Well, good luck, man! E00050A8 House2:07 What do you think of the picture on the wall over there? It's of my wife. Pretty nice, isn't it?

She always calls me a "good-for-nothing husband," so I bought it in hopes that she'll love me more. What a boy that Palolo is! When he plays tricks on people, he doesn't care who's around to see it.

Hmmm. What a smart kid! I can't help being impressed with his wit and skill. That kid named Palolo—he's been pretty quiet lately.

With the world in such a crisis, now's not the time for him to be playin' tricks, is it? That Palolo kid doesn't play tricks anymore.

I feel like something's missing. If I could just see him pull another one of his silly pranks, I may feel better...

I wonder if he's left town. So he showed up at that house. Thanks to you, it looks like he didn't do anything rash to it.

Look at my house! This picture, drawn by the best artist in town, was ruined. What's this?! Ha ha ha ha! Someone drew a mustache on it! That's hilarious! It's not the least bit amusing! I'll never forgive that little... *sigh*...What a naughty kid.

My husband's been home all day, but he didn't even notice! What a good-for-nothing man.

Thank you. I'll make my slug of a husband clean it up. It's clean now...But there are a few stains left...yada, yada, yada... Where's that kind young man?

He was thoughtful enough to bring some water here. That's rare for kids these days. I haven't seen that Palolo kid around lately.

I kind of miss him now that he doesn't come around. That little brat really did a job to this painting... Only water is gentle enough to clean it up. Such a bother...

My husband's so useless... I wonder if someone would be kind enough to fetch me some water. I haven't seen that Palolo kid around lately.

I kind of miss him now that he doesn't come around.

His pranks don't bother me at all anymore.

...Still, it's a shame to leave this as it is.

My husband's so useless... I wonder if someone would be kind enough to fetch me some water. Oh my! You brought me water! How nice of you. I guess I shouldn't have judged you by your appearance...

Leaving so soon? Well, please take this with you. Aquarius Oh my! You brought me water! How nice of you...Huh? This water's filthy!

We need cleaner water or the picture will get even dirtier.

Why are men so dumb? They're just good-for-nothing slugs. Oh my! You brought me water! How nice of you...Huh? This water's filthy!

We need cleaner water or the picture will get even dirtier.

What's wrong with the youth these days? They really need to get a clue...yada yada. It's warm... You open the drawer, and a scrap of paper falls out.

SALES RECEIPT Portrait x 1 Total Cost 10000000G The kitchenware is so well-polished you can see your face in it. Cute little objects are set here and there. Every one of them says FOR MY SWEETHEART. Well-trimmed potted plants.

Wait, there's a Magnus stuck in one of the pots. Pine Tree Well-trimmed potted plants. The dresser is full of neatly pressed women's wear. E00050AF Well:08 Palolo III Yup, this is it! Right on! Pilulu Wow! Isn't that a Rainbow Spider's Web?

I'll take that off your hands. Huh?! No way! This is mine, Pilulu! All right, kid. I kept my end of the bargain. Are you going to show me how to get into the mansion? Okay, okay. A promise is a promise... See this well here?

There's a secret passage at the bottom... ...that leads to the mansion.

It ain't very deep and the water's pretty much gone, so it's no big deal.

You might get a little wet once you're inside the mansion though. I see. How did you find this passage? I'm impressed. Well, you know. Being the Master of Shadows, and all... It was nothing.

Hey, you said you're in a hurry, right?

If you're not ready yet, do what you need to do. I'll be waiting here. All right. Are you ready to sneak into the mansion? Yeah, let's go in. Not yet. Yes, let's go in. Not yet. Okay, let's go. Be careful in there.

That mansion's full of spooky helmet-heads. Don't get caught, okay? I'll watch my step. See ya...and thanks for the help, Palolo. Ummm, Palolo? Are you sure this is a Rainbow Spider's Web? I don't think it is. It's not. They're really hard to find this time of year. You knew all along but you showed him the passage anyway? That was nice of you. Yeah, yeah. *sigh* I'm just too good-natured. I impress myself sometimes... Got it. Let's take a little more time to prepare, then. Well? Have you found a Rainbow Spider's Web? If not, I won't tell you the secret.

You might be able to find one in the bushes around a river bank—those kinda places. Huh? You going again? Yes No Yes No Okay! Let's move! We can't let Giacomo escape!! Not yet. We should check our equipment one more time. Is she the person you're after? Is she your enemy? She doesn't look too evil.

No no no. You've got it all wrong. The scumbag I'm looking for is still in the mansion. So you're going in again, then? So she's the girl you were so desperate to save, huh? ...!! ... You idiot. That's not what I said. I'm only after vengeance!

I happened to find her on the way, that's all. We met by chance. Oh, I see. If you say so.

Anyway, you still need to go back in that place, right? You wanna go back in? Hey, lady. What happened to that dude named Kalas?

Oh, it's okay. You don't need to tell me if you don't want to.

If you see him again, please tell him something for me.

I'm planning to leave this city.

This city isn't big enough for Palolo III. You're a friend of that dude Kalas, aren't you, lady?

That's what I thought.

By the way, where is he?

Oh, it's okay. You don't need to tell me if you don't want to.

If you see him again, please tell him something for me.

I'm planning to leave this city.

This city isn't big enough for Palolo III. You want to talk with Palolo, instead of me, don't you? You can find Palolo over there!

Or...you wanna hear some advice gleaned from my experience? Well, ? What should we ask about? Choosing a Spirit Number Defense (3) Choosing a Character Recommended Digital Magnus Change with Time Special Combos Special Combo Hints Nothing How have you been using Magnus during battle?

What?! Are you still using the A Button to choose Magnus? What a shame...

A real pro would tilt the C Stick to choose a Spirit Number.

The number is chosen depending on which direction you tilt the C Stick. Isn't that cool?

To choose the Spirit Number on the upper right corner, tilt the C Stick to the upper right.

I've seen a Magnus that has a Spirit Number on the lower left corner, too. Impressive, huh?

In that case... You can guess what to do, can't you? Phew, I'm tired of explaining this. Defense is very important. Choose Defensive Magnus wisely or you'll be in a tight spot.

It's especially hard choosing the first Defensive Magnus in time.

It's best to place the cursor on a Defensive Magnus at the end of your offensive turn.

Then you won't go into a panic even if you're suddenly attacked.

Always prepare well ahead of time, as they taught us in school... Did they say that at your school? Now I'll tell you how to use the R Button.

Have you ever been at a loss as to how many times you should press the R Button to choose a party member to heal?

It's easy. Press it once for the 1st party member, twice for the 2nd, and three times for the 3rd.

It doesn't matter where the cursor was previously. If the cursor moves to the enemy, press once for the 1st party member, twice for... Phew, I'm tired of explaining this. You think that analog is superior to digital, don't you?

Don't be biased. Have enough courage to accept what's good, when you see it. Just try using the +Control Pad, and you'll see what digital has to offer. You may have already noticed, but

some Magnus change into something different after time passes.

Check the Quest Magnus, too. You may be surprised. Do you know what a Special Combo is?

What's so special about it, you ask? Well, do it right and you get a new Magnus when the battle's over.

Pretty special, huh? It's difficult to find the right combination...

But it's very easy to perform. You just have to use specific Magnus in a specific order.

The difficult part is finding out which Magnus to use, and in which order.

Some Special Combos can happen no matter what order the Magnus are in.

But most Special Combos have to be a combination of certain Magnus in a specific order.

For example, using wood, followed by a Magnus with a Fire attribute, should create a Charcoal Magnus. Have you been reading the Magnus explanations?

Mostly useless information is written on each Magnus, but if you read them carefully,

you may notice a hint for a Special Combo. Thank you, too! Thanks to you, my collection has gotten bigger. Palolo and me? It's not what you think.

It's true I never get bored when he's around, but it doesn't go beyond that. We snuck into the house you see on your right, on the main street. That was really fun!

Our boss really has what it takes! The lady living there must have freaked. Tee hee! The boss has one weakness, though. He can never say no to Pilulu!

She always grabs the loot we get. It's the only gripe I have, really. I'd hate it if our boss left us... What would we possibly do?

I'd want to go with him, but I'd probably just slow him down. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeeeeak. Squeeeak. Squeak. The well's almost dried up. The well's almost dried up. It looks like you can go in. Let's ask Palolo before going to the Lord's Mansion. This is his secret passage, after all. The well's almost dried up. It leads to the fountain in the Lord's Mansion. It wouldn't be too bright to go back to the mansion just yet. Phew... I guess we'll be safe here, at least for now. Emperor Geldoblame seems to be trying to revive an ancient, cursed power. Is that what you were talking about in the forest? An evil god, or something? Yes... Malpercio...malevolent god of old.

They say his powers will cause the world's destruction. Have you ever heard of Malpercio? No...not really. I see... I came here from Mintaka, the Imperial Capital. I learned that Emperor Geldoblame was pursuing some kind of dangerous scheme...

I've been trying to find out what it is exactly.

I managed to steal a pendant which seems very important to them, and then I fled...

From what I managed to gather, something terrible was sealed away, deep in that forest...

It had never crossed my mind they were talking about Malpercio... , , I need your assistance!

I must uncover the emperor's plot and put an end to his ambitions.

If the evil god Malpercio should be awakened,

the world will be doomed!

I can't do this alone.

Please help me, , ! You're asking the wrong guy.

The Empire's plans, the fate of the world...

I couldn't care less.

Be realistic here, .

You alone, against the might of the Empire? How are you going to pull that off? I...don't know... You can't be serious!

If you want someone to die a glorious death with you, look somewhere else.

I won't be throwing my life away in a fight with the Empire.

You can understand that, right ? Let's help her. You're right, it's too much of a risk. You've got to be kidding me, !

Maybe you're crazy enough to listen to her... But I'm not! If we could warn Diadem and Anuenue, and all the other nations of the Emperor's plot...

I'm sure they would join us! ...You really believe that?

That the lords and kings will listen to you and take up arms against the Empire?

That they would actually risk the well-being of their nations on the words of a little girl? ... Keep dreaming. Alone. At least you agree with me. Good to know I'm not the only sane one here. So you don't care about what could happen to the world? That's not what I'm saying... But, as far as I know... It's none of my business. Period. Well, you can do what you want. It's your life, so you should take your own path, .

I have some unfinished business to take care of.

By the way, if I were you, I'd leave this island as soon as possible.

Chances are you've already earned yourself a spot on the Empire's most wanted list. Not just me. I'm sure you're right up there on the list, too, Kalas.

Besides, that man you're after, Giacomo...

He's from the Empire, too, isn't he? You've got it mixed up.

The bone I have to pick is with Giacomo. Not with the whole Empire.

I'm not that stupid. Well, so long . Who knows, I might see you again, sometime, somewhere... No, wait! You're leaving the island, right? The only way out is to take a liner to Diadem, the Land of the Clouds.

We'll be taking the same ship, so we might as well stick together, at least for now. E00050B6 Old Man's House:09 Sorcerer's Seal Endeavoring Woman Aurora Fairy Shield Silver Ash Voice 4 Platinum Earrings Okay okay. Maybe I'll help you. Go ahead and tell me what you want. Okay. I'm not sure if we can help you, but tell me anyway. Old Man with a Bracelet So, you'll do it for me?! Thank you, young'un! I've been sensing that my number is almost up. If I'm going to die, I want to die surrounded by my children and grandchildren.

To cut to the chase, I want you to find members of my family for me and make my dying wish come true. Of course, I'm willing to reward you for your help. Let's see... What should I give you?... I know what! Once a certain number of family members have returned to my house, I'll reward your efforts with some Magnus. Some of the Magnus I have are quite rare. *cough* *cough* Oh...I got a little too excited there and my blood pressure shot up. Let me catch my breath for a second. Quzman Okay, here it is... U-SA-Y-BI-A. I'll put an X mark to show she's dead. Oops, the X is kind of sloppy... But good enough. I hope you can find the others. I asked you to hand over the Family Tree so I can write in Usaybia's name for you! What are you doing?! Give me my Family Tree! I'll sign for Usaybia. Woman with a Bracelet That's right. I'm Taymiya. I'll sign my name for you now. Taymiya There, that should do it. Now that I've shown you how, it should be a snap, right?

Whenever you open the Family Tree, you can see how many people have signed.

If you have a hard time finding someone, don't worry. Their parents or siblings may have helpful information. It'll be so fun if a lot of people show up! I can hardly wait. Please find our family members. My husband isn't doing too well... I hope you won't take...too long. Give the Family Tree to me and I'll write my name on it. Unless you give me the Family Tree you won't get be able to complete it... Asakir You shouldn't eat too much. If you ever feel like exercising, ask me anytime! I'll write my mother's name on the Family Tree. Let me see it. Ha, ha, ha. Don't be shy. We're friends. Yamin Well, I didn't write my oldest daughter Bajja's name on the Family Tree. Is that okay? Sorry to ask you again, but you don't need me to write Bajja's name on the Family Tree, right? Okay. You want me to write it, right? I'll do it now. An accident happened in the past, so since then my husband's been overprotective of Yunus. Really? I think I should write it... Oh well. If you change your mind, talk to me again. Really? I think I should write it... But if you say you don't need it... Misjah Look at these delicate lines! A touch of realism couched in abstraction! Who drew this?!

Come to think of it...It's a picture I drew myself. I'm a genius after all!

Here, I'll grant you an autograph, as exquisite as the painting itself. The Terrible Painting has become an Unpopular Painting... What a nice picture! Oh, come to think of it, it's my work! And it's already signed.

I'm a genius artist, but I won't sign my autograph more than once on a picture. Take good care of it.

It will be valuable in time. Art takes time to be recognized. This is impressive! What a beautiful picture! Reminiscent of the flow of time!

This is a perfect picture. As an artist, I can see there's no room for improvement. Oh. You upped my expectations. Youngsters shouldn't get others confused. ...That's up to us elderly.

I'm very busy, you know. No time for idle chatter. Please leave me alone. Tumart She was modest and somewhat plain, but a good wife nevertheless. The opposite of my daughter, Tulun. I see. I don't need to... Since I appreciate your efforts, I'll sign it for you anytime. ...Huh??? ... ... The athletic physique... The stormy good looks... You look exactly how I used to look when I was younger!

I can't believe we're not related! The pretty face... The graceful posture... You look exactly how my wife used to look when she was younger!

I can't believe you two aren't related! Say, what would you say to doing this old man a small favor? What's in it for me? We're not gonna waste our time helping this guy out. Right, ? I want to help him, but... I'm also worried about Kalas... What should we do? ? Let's not help him. Let's help him. Sorry, old guy, but I'm a busy man. I'm afraid you're gonna have to ask someone else. I'm sorry. I'd like to help you, but we've really got no time right now. I hope you can find someone else. You don't want to help this sick old man? I see... Nowadays young people have no heart. Back in the old days, when I was your age... *mumble mumble* *cough* *cough* *cough* ...Huh??? Have you changed your mind?

*cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* ...Huh??? You changed your mind?

Thank you. I knew I could count on you. Seeing a helpless old man on his deathbed made you change your mind, did it?

Like I said before , it's too much of a hassle. Let's just move on. Hmmm...No, we can't. I feel sorry for him, but we should move on, . Yeah, let's move on. We should help him. We should go. We should help him. Sorry old man, but like I said before, I don't have time to do you a favor. I'm sorry. But we don't have time for that. Please ask someone else. So you're still the same cold-hearted... *sigh*. No one cares about an old man like me. *mumble*...*mumble*... Inhale. Exhale...Whoosh. Inhale. Exhale...Whoosh. Inhale. Exhale...Whoosh.

Phew. I'm all right now. Here, take this. It's my Family Tree. You've obtained the Family Tree. Wait a minute. Let me put my name on the Family Tree for you. I know it's a bit odd, but all of my family members wear a bracelet.

Anyone wearing a bracelet is likely to be one of my family members. Show them the Family Tree and have them record their names in it.

How about you start off with my wife, Taymiya, standing over there? All you need to do is show her the Family Tree and ask her to sign it. Do you want to hear my explanation about the Family Tree one more time? Should we listen to it again, ? Yes No If you find any of my family members, just show them the Family Tree and have them sign it.

First ask my wife, Taymiya. Go ahead and ask her to sign it. Just show her the Family Tree. I see. Then why don't you show the Family Tree to Taymiya? Okay, I'll write the name of Usaybia. Hand me the Family Tree. Jumpin' jellybeans!! You've found all my family members! What a pleasure for me to see everyone before I die.

Thank you so much! I don't know how to thank you enough. Watching their faces made me sleepy. I think it's time to rest... I'm very satisfied. I've been a bad man to women... But I've lived a good life. Oh, no! Sorry! There's another! I didn't call my brother, Rabbih. Hand me the Family Tree. Rabbih left in search of the Delinquency Stone twenty years ago. I haven't seen him since then!

Please. My final request. Bring my brother here. He must be somewhere known for stones. *cough* *cough* *cough*...

I can't die yet. I'll live to see my brother.

Find my brother Rabbih. He was looking for something called the Delinquency Stone.

They say the stone grows out of something, somewhere. He could be somewhere near this stone. This is funny. The last one's my own brother, of all people.

He must be in a place known for stones. He had a love affair with stones. I wonder if he ever got married.

I never did understand my brother, Rabbih. Please find him. Quzman has passed away. I see. Rabbih is gone. Though he's my brother, I didn't understand him at all.

He was never a social person. But he must have been happy when he died, surrounded by you people. Well...I can die happy now. As I promised, I'll give you the Platinum Earrings. I'm very tired. I think my time's up. I lived an interesting life... Quzman died peacefully. Oh, you've completed the bloodline of Taymiya. I'll give you this as my thanks. Oh, you've completed the bloodline of Maja. I'll give you this as my thanks. Oh, you've completed the bloodline of Usaybia. I'll give you this as my thanks. Oh, you've completed the bloodline of Misjah. I'll give you this as my thanks. Oh, you've completed the family of Wahshiyah. I'll give you this as my thanks. Oh, you've completed the family of Sabin. I'll give you this as my thanks. Hmm. I'm wondering where you should get started...I figure you'll find members of my family everywhere.

All our family members wear bracelets, so you can easily tell them apart from the others. When you're looking for members of my family, first walk around until you find one of them.

Probably each member you find will help put you on the trail of another. And you'll track them down one by one. You seem to have a knack for finding long-lost family members. I'm impressed.

The thin box indicates the blood line. I'll give you a gift whenever you complete a bloodline. Oh, I almost forgot. Sorry if you already found out.

I have some relatives named Sabin and Nubata. They really hate each other.

They may cause a lot of problems for you if you try to convince them to come. Please forgive them. *cough* *cough*. I feel sick. Hmm. A lot of people are starting to show up.

Some of them may be unable to, or may not want to come right away, for various reasons.

In that case, you might want to visit another island to look for the others first. You know what they say, the furthest way around is the shortest way. *cough* *cough* I can't stop coughing. I'm sorry if I die before you find everyone in my family.

More than half have come thus far. Thank you very much.

By the way, did you chat with the people who've come so far? They may have some information. *cough* *cough* *cough*

If you haven't talked with the people who have gathered here already, you should talk to them now.

Chances are high they know the whereabouts of others. You should remember that. *cough* *cough* *cough* Hmmm. This is bad. I feel dizzy.

I'm not sure who hasn't shown up. This is very bad.

Chances are high some of these people have information about their close relatives. *cough* *cough* *cough*

If you want information on a missing person, ask their parents or siblings. *cough* *cough* *cough* This is very bad. The members haven't gathered yet, but my number is up.

Maybe you've overlooked them, or perhaps they're the ones who are in very exotic places.

The rest is up to your effort and patience. Good luck. *cough* *cough* *cough*

Maybe you've overlooked them, or perhaps they're the ones who are in very exotic places. Hmph! It won't budge! Why can't I open this drawer? Oh, hello there. Are you a friend of Quzman's? Sorry I didn't notice you. We've hardly had any visitors since my husband got sick.

Please feel free to stay here for as long as you want. I'm sure my husband would enjoy the company. Are you a friend of my husband's? Since he got sick, no one's come to see him.

Make yourself at home. My husband doesn't seem to know what to do with himself lately. Hmph! No, the stubborn thing just won't budge! No matter how hard I pull, I can't get this drawer to open. I can't open this drawer. It's locked. I think I know why it's locked.

He's playing innocent, but I'll bet he's hiding something in it. I'll get it to open! I can't open the drawer. It's locked. I think I know why it's locked.

He's playing innocent, but I'll bet he's hiding something in it. I'll get it to open! When we got married, we promised not to keep any secrets from each other! Ohh, that man! I'll get this drawer open!! When we got married, my husband and I promised not to keep any secrets from each other. Seems like the old man's memory comes and goes...a little too conveniently. I'm sorry if he asked you to do him a strange favor. My husband's always been like that.

I know it might be extra trouble for you, but this might be his final wish... Please have a heart and help him out. Looks like he took one of his deep breaths again. He seems fine now. Please listen to what he has to say. I overheard your conversation. Thank you for offering to help my husband.

Will you hand me the Family Tree? Just watch me sign it. I'm sure you'll understand how to use it from then on. I've met quite a lot of my family members, but I only know the whereabouts of a few of them.

Did you go to the docks? A little while ago, some of our family members said they were heading down there for a walk. The little ones are taking a walk on the docks. You might want to look for them first.

My husband played around a lot in his younger days, and he's been married several times, so he has family members scattered all over the world.

Isn't it unique that our family members wear bracelets? You'll know them when you see them. I'm sorry. You thought you'd found everyone. He's always been like that.

But I never knew he had a brother...I wonder what he's like. I suppose his brother's a pig-headed old man or someone gloomy—not at all like my husband.

When the chief of the clan dies, we send his soul off by dancing.

Luckily the wife doesn't have to take part in it, but even watching them dance is embarrassing. Oh, I almost forgot. My husband failed to give you something. Here, take it. I don't feel so sad. He seems to have enjoyed himself to the very end.

He must have died happily, thanks to you. Well, now that he's gone, problems will soon arise, so I won't have time to feel sad. As they say, "Yesterday's friend is today's foe."

Never mind, never mind. I was talking to myself. Thank you for finding our family members. This house isn't registered in my name. I wonder what I should do...*mumble* *mumble*

Oh, I didn't say anything. Thank you for finding our family members. It looks like time's run out for my husband.

He appears to have something to give you. Please, have a talk with him. Please talk to my husband. He wants to give you something in person. How can I open this thing?! I'll get it!! Oh yes, you want to talk to me? I've met quite a lot of my family members, but I only know the whereabouts of a few of them.

Did you go to the docks? It seems some of our family members went for a walk. What? You want to talk to me again? I'm kind of busy now... Wait a second. I've met quite a lot of my family members, but I only know the whereabouts of a few of them.

But you've only just begun searching. Go to the other islands. It's too early to give up! Have you already had difficulties locating them? Why don't you go to the other islands?

My husband played around a lot in his younger days, and he's been married several times, so he has family members scattered all over the world. Quzman's health has taken a turn for the worse. He looks pale, and seems to have a chill. He may not last long...

Sorry to push you, but I hope you can find the others as soon as possible. There are a few of them left. I wonder who hasn't arrived.

Did you check complicated labyrinths or in places you've been before? Quzman appears to be getting worse. He can't stop coughing.

Sorry to push you, but I hope you find the others as quickly as possible. The Family Tree's almost completed. I wonder who the others are.

I don't think everyone's easy to spot. So look extra carefully. Amazing sight isn't it...there's so many people in the room. Thank you very much.

I like people. I'm such a social person, and I can stay on good terms with anyone.

Looks are not important. People shouldn't be judged superficially. I wish there were always this many people in our room. I love it!

I wonder how many more of us you'll be able to find. I love this lively atmosphere. The more people we gather, the more lively it'll get! I'm happy because I've been bored for so long!

Please bring as many people as possible. I love this lively atmosphere. The more people we gather, the more lively it'll get! I'm happy because I've been bored for so long!

We have plenty of room in this house. So please bring as many people as possible. Maymun Excuse me. Will you step aside, so I have room to dance? At last, his final hours are near. It appears he wants to talk to you. Go! Go talk to him!

Huh? ...What did you say? You want me to move, so you can check the drawer? Now? Hmm? What is it? What? You think I'm indifferent to the fact that Quzman is dying... He won't die yet. He said he forgot something. He's just like that, you know. Oh, hello. How's your search going? Have you found a lot family members?

It looks like it'll be quite a turn out. I'll prepare tea and sweets for everyone.

Did you tell my husband, Qutayba, to come? He went hiking on the Cloud Passage. So... You still have something to talk about with me?

My husband took our sons to the Cloud Passage. I can't say I appreciate that.

I wish he would take them to the School of Magic, so they would realize the importance of an education. Huh? You still want to talk with me? I'm kind of busy preparing things...

My husband, Qutayba? He went hiking on the Cloud Passage.

What? I'll cut my finger if I take my eyes off? How long do you think I've been a housewife? You know what?

My husband told me not to force children to study. Don't you think he's a loser?

How much you earn depends on your education! Tell him that for me! The most important thing about a man is his income. Good looks and character wear off in time.

To earn a good income, you need a good education. Why can't he understand that? I'm making them study for their own future.

And no, I'm not obsessed with their education. Don't get me started. Aargh! What should I do about it?!

My sons are under that macho man's influence and are learning how to do push-ups.

My husband hasn't come back from the Cloud Passage yet. What should I do?! Aargh! I can't bear to watch!

If they break their arms doing push-ups, they won't be able to hold pencils.

If they can't hold pencils, they can't write or study.

If they can't study, they can say goodbye to higher education and higher income! I need my husband here! Ahh! I can't believe this! I feel dizzy.

I overheard someone talking about push-ups and sit-ups...

He mentioned all kinds of muscles I'd never heard of...I wonder if there's a point in training them. You still have something to talk about with me?

My husband took our sons to the Cloud Passage. I can't say I appreciate that.

I wish he would take them to the School of Magic, so they would realize the importance of an education. Huh? You still want to talk with me? I'm kind of busy preparing things...

My husband, Qutayba? He went hiking on the Cloud Passage.

What? I'll cut my finger, if I take my eyes off? How long do you think I've been a housewife? You know what?

My sons are growing fond of that idiot macho man, and my husband won't do anything about it!

I can't believe it! Is there anything useful about push-ups?! Ahh...What should I do?! I can't bear to watch!

If they break their arms doing push-ups, they won't be able to hold pencils.

If they can't hold pencils, they can't write or study.

If they can't study, they can say goodbye to higher education and a higher income...Please stop them for me! Ahh. I can't believe this! I feel dizzy.

I overheard someone talking about push-ups and sit-ups...

He mentioned all kinds of muscles I'd never heard of...I wonder if there's a point in training them. Oh, hello. How's your search going? Have you found many family members?

So many people are here, and the food is already gone. I better hurry up and prepare something for them.

Did you tell my husband, Qutayba, to come? He went hiking on the Cloud Passage. Huh? You still want to talk with me? I'm kind of busy right now...

My husband, Qutayba? He went hiking on the Cloud Passage. You know what?!

My husband seems to have let our sons fall into the Lesser Celestial River!

To make things worse, he tried to hide it from me. I shouldn't have let them go hiking! After all, the most important thing for the children is to study. Studying is not at all dangerous!

From now on, I'll see to it they study hard, so they grow up to be fine, healthy-minded adults! I have to be careful! Their future is on my shoulders. You! Come down from there this instant! My sons are being influenced by that macho man and they've climbed onto the wardrobe.

My husband hasn't come back from the Cloud Passage yet. What a shame. My sons are being influenced by that macho man, and now they're climbing on the dresser thanks to him.

My husband hasn't come back from the Cloud Passage yet. What a shame. Come down from there now! If they fall off the dresser and break their legs, they can't attend cram school.

If they can't attend cram school, they'll miss the new subjects, and fall behind in their studies.

If they fall behind, they can't get a higher education or a high income. Please tell them to come down! My sons are being influenced by that macho man, and now they're climbing on the dresser thanks to him.

My husband won't even try to stop them! I'm so frustrated! What a useless man! Come down from there now!

Oh, when will this end? Will you hold on a second? Huh? You still want to talk with me? I'm kind of busy preparing things...

My husband, Qutayba? He went hiking on the Cloud Passage. Qutayba I'm sorry, but please don't disturb me. I shouldn't stop dancing. Since my father-in-law is dying, I have to be with him... Look! My sons are... Huh? What's the matter? Is my father-in-law dying? He said he's not ready to because he still has something to do. Oh. Thank you so much for the other day.

By the way, my wife, Maymun hasn't come yet. I thought she'd already be here by now...

I wonder if she's still in Nashira. If you go to Nashira, will you tell her to come? My wife, Maymun, is always ordering our sons to study.

Because of her strict supervision, my sons are turning into socially inept eggheads...

Now that our relatives are here, it's a great chance for the kids to mingle with other kids their own age. My wife, Maymun, may be in Nashira. If you go there, tell her I've arrived. Oh, hello. How's the search going?

I think there are things more important in life than studying. But I can't convince my wife.

I'm no match for her. But she just might listen to you. Could you persuade her for me? I believe there are things more important in life than studying. I can't tell my wife, though...

Could you do me a favor, and suggest this fact to her, so she won't get mad at me? Don't think I'm a wimp. I'm not a wimp, but I just don't want to argue with her.

Is there anyone who can show me how to be a reliable father? Look! How tough they are!

They've been working out under the instruction of Uncle Asakir. I'm so glad.

Just thinking that they won't be called nerds anymore makes me want to weep with joy! Ah...what a pleasure!

Used to be my sons could only study, but now they're doing push-ups!

My heart's too full for words. I can't help crying with joy! Look! How tough they are!

They've been working out under the instruction of Uncle Asakir. I'm so glad.

I nearly weep with joy at the thought of them not getting picked on anymore! Ah...what a pleasure!

Used to be my sons could only study, but now they're doing push-ups!

My heart's too full for words. I can't hold back my tears of joy! Ah...I can't believe it! I feel dizzy.

They don't need to study! After push-ups, they'll train the abdomen and back.

My heart's too full for words. I can't hold back my tears of joy! Oh, hello. Thank you for the other day.

By the way, have you seen my wife, Maymun? I don't think she's come yet. She's probably still in Nashira. No, no, no. No need to rush.

She's too obsessed with the education of our sons. I want to let them play sometimes. Still, I wonder why they're goin' around in circles there. Are they calculating something again?!

They're always studying and learning difficult subjects. I hardly understand what they're talking about. My sons keep circling around the room...

It appears they're calculating something called circle ratio. But I have no idea what it is.

I didn't intend to raise them like this...Why did I make such bad choices? Our eldest son, Rustah is twelve. Our other son, Hisham is eleven. It's not too late, is it?

Isn't there anyone who can show me how to raise these kids like a great father should? Look! How energetic they are!

Thanks to Uncle Asakir, they can climb like cats up that tall dresser.

I'm so glad. I nearly weep with joy! Ahh. I wish you could have seen them. They were so brave when they climbed it!

They'll be able to climb mountains in no time.

I'm so glad. I nearly weep with joy! Oh, forget about the studies. Once my wife comes from Nashira, I'll tell her once and for all! Look! My sons are so brave!

Even on such a high dresser they remain calm. Other children would be trembling and in tears!

I'm so glad. I'm nearly weeping with joy! I'm sorry. I got a little misty-eyed...

Thinking about my sons climbing on the dresser makes me so happy. I'm nearly weeping with joy! Stand up to my wife?! What are you talking about? Studies are important, too. Rustah This is silly. Is there any meaning to this dance? Since the day I climbed on the dresser, Mom keeps a closer eye on me. She gets angry when I don't study. Oh, it's you. Thank you for saving me.

Huh? What am I doing? I'm calculating the circle ratio. I feel uneasy unless I know it.

Multiply the diameter by Pi to get the circumference. Each step I take is about 30cm, so... 3.14159265358979 3238462643383279 5028841971693993

7510582097494459 2307816406286208 998628034834...Huh?

That's odd. This isn't right. I thought the 90th number after the decimal point is 5. Why is it 4? Did this error occur because of my stride? Should I calculate it by 31cm instead of 30? The macho man told me this a while ago.

Taking strides of exactly 30cm per step requires exercise to master.

It's not fun, but I have to do it for my own good. I'll do the exercise! Hmmm. I'm tired. How long do I have to do push-ups?

Still, unless the upper body is stable, I can't take an exact step. I'll do my best! Assuming my potential energy is alpha,

The calories beta to be consumed by the expansion and contraction of my arms...

can be calculated from the height gamma!

Mathematics is a universal truth. The world's full of impressive people. I'm really surprised.

Some other kid besides me and my brother is trying to calculate the circle ratio on his own. The world's full of impressive people. I'm really surprised.

Some other kid besides me and my brother is trying to calculate the circle ratio on his own.

Come to think of it, my brother, Hisham hasn't come yet. He isn't drowning in the river, is he? To be 30cm or 31cm... That is the question.

That's the issue. A one cm difference holds infinite possibilities. Oh no...I can't walk around taking exactly 30cm strides. What should I do? Oh, thank you for the other day. Huh? What am I doing? Didn't I tell you before?

I'm calculating the circle ratio. I feel uneasy, and can't sleep at night unless I calculate it myself.

The circle ratio is one of god's most beautiful truths. Mathematics evolves through time.

A long, long time ago, people used 22/7 as the circle ratio, but it's been proved to be inaccurate.

Error occurs by more than 0.001. You know, it's more than 0.001! 0.001 has infinite possibilities! If I define my stride as 30cm...

It takes 27.5 strides to walk around.

That means the circumference is 825cm...

Oh no! Error occurs at the 20th digit below the decimal point. I wonder if there's a better way. It's worthwhile to have climbed. Looking down is kind of fun. Hisham I'm doing this because my brother is doing it. But I wonder what meaning this dance has... Hey, leave me alone. My mother will get angry if she sees me slacking off. Oh, it's you. Thank you for saving me.

Huh? What am I doing? I'm thinking about the ellipse that touches the internal midpoints of a triangle.

I'm smarter than my brother, hehe. Come to think of it, my brother hasn't come yet. Is he still at the Cloud Passage? The ellipse that touches the internal midpoints of a triangle is the biggest of all.

Huh? What do you mean, "so what?" Give me a break! Don't you understand? My brother seems to like circles, but I'm an ellipse freak. My brother started push-ups under the tutelage of the macho man. He insists I join him.

Well, there's nothing my brother can do that I can't do. The macho man insists on training us...That's why I can't turn him down.

Unlike my brother, I'm also very good at sports. You must be impressed!

My brother hasn't come yet. Is he still playing on the Cloud Passage? Hmmm. I'm tired. How long will the macho man keep me doing push-ups?

*puff* *puff*. The macho man gets angry when I call it "training." I'm supposed to call it "exercise."

They're the same thing, aren't they? Is there any difference? There are others in the room who are circling around besides my brother and I. I wonder which they prefer.

Huh? Didn't I tell you? I'm contemplating the ellipse that touches the midpoints of a triangle. There's a girl who likes circles in addition to us. I wonder which type she likes better.

Huh? Didn't I tell you? I'm contemplating the ellipse that touches the midpoints of a triangle.

By the way, my brother hasn't come yet. What's he been doing at the Cloud Passage? My brother can recite Pi up to five hundred digits. But I think 3.14 is accurate enough.

They used Pi=3.0 for a while, but I thought they were dumbing it down too much. I prefer 3.14. Oh, it's you. How's your search going on?

Huh? What am I doing? I'm investigating the code of elliptic curvature.

Since I'm smarter than my brother... My brother hasn't come yet. Is he still playing on the Cloud Passage? My brother calls the circle ratio the "tune of the gods." But I think the ellipse is more beautiful.

I believe the curve of an ellipse can be used as a code. My brother likes circles, but I prefer ellipses, because they're more complicated. I'm kind of worried that my brother hasn't come yet. What's he doing in the Cloud Passage? Oh, hello. How is your search going?

My brother's investigating the circle ratio, while I'm on the trail of the curve of ellipses.

I'm smarter than my brother, hehe. Mathematics is a universal truth.

My brother calls it evolutionary, but math doesn't change at all. We just gradually discover its truths.

I'm smarter than my brother, hehe. When the chief of a clan dies, we dance in circles to express our respect.

This dance does nothing to improve my muscles at all. When I die, my mourners should do squats instead of dances. Sorry, but I can't stop. Please step aside. The old man's time is up, is it? If he had worked out the way I do, he could have lived to be two hundred. The old man wasn't even close to death. Everybody knew that—I guess you're the only one he fooled.

That's the trick he may have been preparing. Pretty funny, wasn't it? You're the one who searched for our family members. How are things going?

Oh, I almost forgot! Don't you want the name of my lost mother? My mother, Maja, died of diabetes seven years ago. She ate way too much, you know.

Now, let me see that Family Tree. I'll write her name on it for you. Yo! How's your search going?

If you want to exercise, feel free to talk to me. Let's build our muscles up together! We must exercise daily. It brings us health, happiness, pleasure, and a reason to live.

I'm trying to persuade my brother, Nubata. But he's only interested in eating.

I told him once that he'd die early, but he told me he'd prefer a short life with tons of food... Pectoral muscles followed by stomach muscles, followed by back muscles, followed by...

Side muscles, followed by neck muscles, followed by thigh muscles, and back to pectoral muscles.

What a perfect exercise! Yo. How's your search going? The boys asked me to show them how to exercise. I made them start with push-ups.

Age doesn't matter in exercise. Why don't you join us and build a solid body? Huh? What did you say? The boys seem to be exercising just in order to please me?! That can't be! That's impossible! I don't know what you're talking about! Exercise is the international language of fitness. Everyone loves it. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Though the boys' minds may be reluctant, their bodies are enjoying the exercise. I know this for a fact!

I can hear my body's inner voice. Can't you? You need some exercise. Ah, you're the person who's looking for our family members. How are things going?

I just heard you need the name of my late mother on the Family Tree, right?

My mother died of overeating at a very young age. That's why I'm worried about my brother, Nubata. So, how's your search going?

If you want exercise, feel free to talk to me. Let's build our muscles up together! Climbing exercises not only tone the muscles, but also improve balancing ability.

When I practiced climbing the dresser, my wife was furious. I don't know what I should do. My wife tells me to help them down, but they appear to be enjoying themselves.

I'm reluctant to stop my comrades who've tasted the unbridled joy that exercise brings. Doing pull-ups with the dresser may be good for the back. I should try it someday! Zuhr I'm sorry, but I shouldn't stop in the middle of this dance. He's almost gone, but I don't feel that sad. Maybe it's his personality that makes me feel this way. I didn't know he has a younger brother. My father-in-law, Quzman, sure has a lot of relatives. Ah, it's you. Thanks for helping me.

You've been looking for our relatives—our family members. Have you seen my husband, Asakir?

He went out to the waterfall to train his mind and body. I wonder what he's doing right now. I don't know much about it, but I heard there's a big waterfall in Sadal Suud.

He must be there. I can imagine he's standing under the waterfall like a big jerk. I used to love strong men, but he's too much...

Sorry to trouble you, but could you bring him here? I'm sure he's under that waterfall. It's the first time I've seen him in six months, but all he's doing is push-ups and not talking to me.

Is his brain made of muscles? How many push-ups could he possibly need?! Ah, well. By the way, I haven't seen my daughter, Al-athir. She's married, and supposed to be living here...

Is she still working at the Lord's Mansion? She must be a hard worker. Do you think it's okay to let these boys play with a muscle-bound jerk like my husband? One. Two. Three.

He says fifty push-ups makes one set. So, I'm counting for him. It's the first time I've seen him in six months, but he's just exercising and not talking to me.

Give me a break. What does he hope to achieve by building his body like that? Exercise before breakfast. Exercise after lunch. Exercise with dinner.

Isn't there anything else he can think about?!! Like maybe our daughter, Al-athir, at least?! After the exercises, they started climbing all over the dresser.

But Maymun noticed that and got angry.

I know how she feels. If I were her, I wouldn't allow them to do that, either. But what should I do about it? My husband doesn't seem to want to stop them.

And the boys appear to be having fun.

If I handle things poorly, I may cause a lot more trouble...

But what should I do about it? My husband doesn't seem to want to stop them.

And the boys appear to be having fun.

If I handle things poorly, I may cause a lot more trouble... After all, just watching them seems like the best solution. But I'll have to apologize to her later. My husband went too far this time. He made the boys climb up the dresser.

If their mother, Maymun, finds out, she'll be angry for sure.

She's known for being a very education-minded mother. I hope she stays in Nashira. But what should I do about it? My husband doesn't seem to want to stop them.

If I handle things poorly, I may cause a lot more trouble... Nubata I know. I'm quite aware of it. We're supposed to dance when the chief dies. Why don't I dance?

I'm too tired. *puff* *puff*. I know, I know. I'll try to get on my feet first. Oh no. *puff* *puff*. I'm too tired. Dancing is out of the question. Don't make fun of me. Just leave me alone. *puff* *puff*. I can't do it. *puff* *puff*. What? Are you saying I should dance, too? Okay. Okay. I will. That old cuss Quzman, *puff* *puff*, wants to talk to you. Go see what he wants. The old cuss Quzman's younger brother? Ah...Old Rabbih...*puff* *puff*... I saw him once a long time ago.

You wanna know what he was like? *puff* *puff*... I'd say he's basically a quiet old Quzman. They're brothers after all. What? You want to talk with me? Ah, I'm hungry. *puff* *puff*. I could eat a whole Pow right now. Oh yeah! *puff* *puff*. Did you tell my wife and daughter to come?

They went hiking in the mountains to lose weight. They eat too much, so hiking is useless to them. Ah, I'm hungry. My wife and daughter are in the mountains. I wish I had stayed in Parnasse. Well, I can eat anything, anytime, actually. Give me something to eat, will you? Anything will do. Rice and beef. *puff* *puff*. And of course, sweets. I can do without fish or vegetables.

Food brings me health, *puff* *puff*, happiness, pleasure, and a purpose in life. What? You want to talk with me? Ah, I'm hungry. *puff* *puff*. I could eat a whole Pow right now.

Oh yeah! *puff* *puff*. Did you tell my wife and daughter to come?

They went hiking in the mountains to lose weight. They eat too much, so hiking is useless to them. What? You want to talk with me? Ah, I'm hungry. *puff* *puff*. I could eat a whole Pow right now.

Well, I can eat anything, anytime, actually. Give me something to eat, will you? Anything will do. Al-rumi Why are you staring at me?! Are you saying I should dance? Fine. I'll dance! *puff* *puff*...I'm too tired. I'm too hungry. I'm too fat. Go ahead. Tell me I'm fat. Who cares?!

I'm too heavy to dance... or move. Are you satisfied? Everyone dies someday, thin or fat. To live a hundred years is plenty, I think.

He wants to talk with you. Go talk to him. So...he has a brother. Anyway... Is there anything left to eat in here? I'm sooo hungry. What? You wanna talk with me? I'm too hungry. *puff* *puff*. Is there anything left to eat in here? Since I went hiking and worked up a good sweat, I want to go to the all-you-can-eat-sweets place! The wall of this house isn't edible. I wish they built houses out of cake here. Since I went hiking and worked up a good sweat, why don't you make a shortcake for me?

Of course I'm not asking you for a regular shortcake. I want a special Al-rumi shortcake! What's a special Al-rumi shortcake, you ask? Okay. listen. First, decorate a sponge cake with dairy cream. Then place eight strawberries on it.

Don't bother slicing it up. You should eat that goody with your bare hands. Oh no. I worked up an appetite from all that exercise. I'm too hungry to get up. I'm so hungry I could eat five Al-rumi shortcakes.

Oh no. *puff* *puff*. I'm too hungry. I feel dizzy. Al-khatib So you're saying I should dance? Okay. I'll be a public attraction! *puff* *puff*...I'm tired. I'm hungry. I can't stand up anymore. Please, let me sit down. You really want to make me dance, don't you! Okay. I'll do it. Laugh at me if you want.

*puff* *puff*...Oh, no. I can't move anymore. I'm sorry! I'm fat! Even with bad eating habits, one can live a hundred years. My grandfather sure is impressive. He has a brother...*puff* *puff*. Really? *puff* *puff*. I wonder what his name is. *puff* *puff*.

*stomach rumbling* Yes. I'm hungry. If you have nothing to say, leave me alone. What? You want to talk with me? You don't, huh? You're not interested in me, huh?

*stomach rumbling* Cut it out. Don't talk to me anymore. Or are you in love with me?

You aren't, huh? Of course. I'm sorry. My cousin, Al-athir, has a good figure and is very beautiful. No wonder she's popular. But I think my face is more cutesy than hers!

I'm sorry. I lied. That can't be true... I know it. I'm fat, because my parents are fat. My parents eat as many as ten servings per meal. I've always thought that's normal.

Don't blame my parents? I know. Everything's my fault. I'm fat because I eat too much. Cut it out. Don't talk to me anymore. Or are you in love with me? Of course not, huh? I'm sorry. I think I'm imagining things. Al-athir I had a talk with my husband. He's a good man after all. He isn't seeing anyone else.

I knew it. I knew he was true to me. My hubby pretended to be Tulun's husband for her daughter.

It's very difficult to pretend you're someone's father. I love him so much! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I've been talking too much. Actually I shouldn't stop dancing. Still, I can't quarrel with him. Actually, it's not a quarrel at all.

My grandfather wants to talk with you. Go see what he wants. Oh, hello. Thanks for the cheese the other day.

My husband, Sabin, has gone for a walk toward the docks. Sorry to trouble you, but will you tell him to come back when you see him? Oh, hello. This is my husband, Sabin. But you've already met, right?

He's been acting strange these days. It appears he's trying to hide something from me. My husband's always been a flirt with the ladies. Other than that he's a wonderful husband, though. My husband's been acting strange these days. It appears he's trying to hide something from me. My husband and that woman... Just what kind of relationship do they have? Is he cheating on me?!

No...that can't be possible. My husband would never do that! It's not in his character! Yes. They must just be old friends! They may have met for the first time in years. Oh, no. I'm suspicious of my own husband... What a terrible wife I am. Hello. How's your search going? Are you doing okay?

My husband, Sabin, went to the docks for a walk. Did you see him? Sorry to trouble you, but would you tell him to return when you see him? Oh, hello. This is my husband, Sabin. But you've already met, right?

It appears he's hiding something. No matter how much I ask, he won't tell me. Does this have anything to do with a woman? Because he's such a lady's man, I'm so worried. Maybe I'm a bad wife for him... I've asked so many times, but he never tells me.

How dare he hide something! I don't understand. I AM Sabin's wife, Al-athir!

I think you took him for someone else. Look at him closely.

This is funny. You can't be married to my husband. That's just impossible. Ha, ha, ha... You shut up! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. This is funny. But this isn't a mistake. I'm his wife, Al-athir.

There are many Sabins in the world, you know. You know it, don't you?

No, my husband and I are deeply in love. This is YOUR mistake. YOU SHUT YOUR TRAP! No. Stop with the jokes! I said, "I" am his wife, Al-athir!

You must be tired from the long trip. You should rest for awhile.

I think I know why you're doing this. When I'm too tired, I don't know what I'm talking about, either. Shut up. Just keep quiet! This is a shame. I just don't want to be like that. I'm his wife, Al-athir.

I'm not angry. Why would I be angry? I'm Sabin's wife.

I think I feel sorry for you. You must have fallen in love with a person like my husband. Shut up. Why don't you go away and talk to someone else?! We're supposed to dance when a chief of our family dies. We shouldn't stop dancing. Why don't you go talk to my father instead of me? My father's brother... So he's my uncle...

I wouldn't have thought he'd still be alive. My father's family members all live long lives. I'm quite surprised. Oh, hello. This town is a lot warmer than Cursa.

So, have you seen my husband? You're not saying you haven't been to Gomeisa, are you? I was raised in the Ice Lands... It's quite warm here, but I can't help looking around for the fireplace.

Did you tell my husband in Gomeisa to come? I wonder what he's doing. Ever since we lost our first daughter to an accident, my husband's become so overprotective about our daughter. I wish she had a friend her age, because my husband always smothers her.

This is the perfect opportunity for her to make friends with the other children... It's getting warm. That's why I moved away from the fire, but now I feel cold.

I must be imagining things. This town can't be as cold as Cursa. By the way, I'm kind of fed up with the way my husband talks.

Sometimes he talks that way with our daughter, Yunus. I hope she doesn't copy him. Oh no. Now that I'm old, I tend to forget. I thought I had something to tell you... Oh, it's about Bajja! You have the name on the Family Tree, right? My husband gets grouchy when Yunus is playing with other children.

It can't be good for Yunus. It'll make her even more timid... My husband loves our daughter so much.

He hasn't paid attention to me since we got married. What a shame. Huh? I thought I had something to tell you... Gabirol This dance is a ritual to say goodbye to our chief. Please don't disturb us. I have to be with my father-in-law. You should talk to him, instead of me. So, he has a brother. I guess Yunus wants to have a brother. I think we should have a boy. Oh! You're the one who saved us! How's your search going?

Why am I being so protective? Oh, I'm protecting my daughter from any bad boys who may approach.

I'll always be there for her, protecting, guarding, watching over her.

My daughter is my life. She's even more valuable to me than my own life. Ha, ha, ha, ha! Oh, it's you. So, how's everything going? Is your search going smoothly?

Why am I grumpy? Oh, it's nothing. It's something personal. Ha, ha, ha, ha! When my daughter's with someone else, it's like having an unbearable pain in my heart.

Sure he may only be a boy. But a man is a man. If he lays a finger on her, he'll be dead.

Oh, no! Stop. Don't come near her! As her father, should I allow them to do that? It causes me deep agony to imagine my daughter with a man.

If someone touched my Yunus, I'd kill him, even if he was only a boy! Touch her shoulder, touch her waist...her back...Touch her, and prepare to die! Yunus I don't know why, but we're supposed to dance as a ritual. Please don't disturb us. We have to be with my father in his last hours...That's what my dad told us. So that's what I'm doing. Brother... My father thinks I want a brother. Not at all. I want a sister... Hello.

I'm kind of shy. I'll get used to you soon, I guess. Sorry. Be patient. I'll be used to you soon.

Am I talking strange? It's because of my father. Please don't mind me. I always sit by the fire without noticing it. It's my habit, even though it's not cold at all. My dad doesn't like me making friends with the other kids. He's overprotective, I guess.

I can't let him have his way, though. I'm going to try to talk with the others. Please stop him if he gets mad. My dad's too strict. It's so hard to make friends with him around. He cares about me too much.

But I don't want to stay so shy and sheltered. When I try to talk with the others, please don't tell him. Dad cares about me too much because my sister Bajja died in an accident.

If you want to know about it, talk to my mom. She'll write her name on the Family Tree for you. Qasim When the chief of a clan dies, we're supposed to dance. But I'm surprised this ritual survives to this day. It turned out to be true this time. He lived for a hundred years. He must be satisfied.

He wants to talk with you. Go see what he wants. I had a feeling you would do something nice for him.

He'll live until my uncle arrives. My father's very tough, you know. Oh, hello. You're the one who looked for our family members on my father's behalf.

I hadn't been back to Sadal Suud since I went overskies to work. It's been awhile, but it's nice to be back. Hasn't my wife, Surayj, come here from Cebalrai yet? Oh, hello. You found Battuta! I'm quite impressed!

If my wife, Surayj, comes from Cebalrai, then we'll all be together for the first time in ten years.

ten years? Maybe even longer. What should we talk about? Will you bring my wife, Surayj, here from Cebalrai?

To tell you the truth, I have nothing to talk about with my own son. This is uncomfortable... This is very uncomfortable... This is so very uncomfortable... We have nothing in common to talk about. Nothing. Nada. We're so uncomfortable.

Please bring my wife, Surayj, as soon as possible. I'm counting on you! My son, Battuta is the living definition of a prodigal son. We haven't seen each other for ten years.

He sent a letter once saying he found a giant labyrinth. I wonder what that's all about. Though he's my own son, I don't know him at all. I wonder if I'll be able to recognize him when we meet.

He met someone in a valley somewhere, and learned the beauty of freedom, as well as the harmonica. What? You want to know where the valley is? Mmmmmmmmm.

Well...That was... The valley was... Sorry. I forgot. Ah, hello. Our family is together for the first time in ten years, thanks to you.

To tell you the truth, I never expected to see my son again. Thank you for finding him. Still...

I'm glad all three of us are together, even though we have nothing to talk about.

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure if he's really my son. We have nothing in common to talk about. Nothing. Nada. We're so uncomfortable.

Do you know an interesting story? Even a joke would be fine. Something to cut the tension. Oh, hello. You found Battuta! I'm quite impressed!

If my wife, Surayj, comes from Cebalrai, then we'll all be together for the first time in ten years. By the way, hasn't my wife, Surayj, come here from Cebalrai yet?

I don't think I can talk with my son without her. We haven't seen each other for a long time.

Sorry to trouble you, but will you bring her here as soon as possible? My son, Battuta, is the living definition of a prodigal son. We haven't seen each other for years.

He sent a letter once saying he found a giant labyrinth. I wonder what that's all about. Though he's my own son, I don't know him at all. I wonder if I'll be able to recognize him when we meet.

When he met someone in a valley somewhere, he learned the beauty of freedom and solitude.

What a shame. You are AMAZING. You found my son Battuta!

Our family is together for the first time in ten years. Thank you so much. Since we hadn't met in such a long time, I had nothing to talk about with my son, Battuta.

Battuta must have felt uncomfortable, too—he wandered off so he wouldn't have to talk to me.

If you know any good jokes or something, please tell me. I'm meeting my son for the first time in years, but what should I talk about?

I've always been a work-oriented person. I wish I knew a funny joke or something...

Still, knowing my son lives on his own gives me a sense of relief. Surayj I'm sorry, but we shouldn't stop dancing. He appears to have something to talk to you about. Go ahead and see what he wants. I wonder where his brother is. There's no place in Sadal Suud that's known for having lots of stones. Oh, hello. Have you been to Mintaka?

I may have told you, but my husband, Qasim, works there. If you see him, tell him to come back. My husband, Qasim, works away from home, while my son, Battuta, travels around the world.

Battuta's the worst of us. I haven't seen him for ten years. I wonder where he is now.

If you see him by any chance, please don't fail to bring him back. I'm sorry about Battuta, but I hardly remember what he looks like.

He didn't like our home. So he left to travel around the world. You've found Battuta! What an amazing person you are! I never expected this!

If my husband comes back from Mintaka, our entire family will be together for the first time in ten years.

10 years. Maybe more... I wonder if I can still call us a family... My husband comes home every six months. But all he ever has to say is "I'm tired."

I'm not doing this on purpose, but people always accuse me of speaking harshly.

I'm not a harsh person at all. Why's my husband, Qasim, taking so long, anyway?! I know it's rude, but I can't talk to my son without staring at his face.

Well, you know, I'm not sure if he really is my own son. How can I tell? Thank you. You went there to get my husband. I appreciate your efforts so much.

Well, as for my son, Battuta, I don't know where he is. Come to think of it, he said he had discovered a new theorem. I wonder what it was...

The middle-finger rule? Sticking your middle finger out... No. I guess something's not right. The theorem of the Four Winds? The harder it is to say it, the more popular it is among academics.

Stars in the north, the moon in the south, gold in the east, blue in the west... What's in the southeast?

I'm sorry, I don't remember it perfectly. I hope this will be of some help. Please find Battuta. Thank you for gathering all of my family members. It's the first time we've been together in ten years!

I wasn't sure if we'd all be reunited. You didn't look too trustworthy... What? Did I say something rude? I'm sorry we digressed, but I wonder what we should talk about with my son.

I'd better leave everything to my husband. Battuta I should be leaving now. I'm a troubadour, lover of freedom and solitude. Old Quzman asked me to scatter this for him.

He told me where I should stand, and how I should scatter it... Could he be dying? I overheard you. The place where many stones exist. That must be the place.

It's in one of the ancient barriers that's just been broken. Incredible timing, huh? If I say everything, it's no fun at all. Let's enjoy the mystery.

Still, what a strong old man! He must be very powerful to be able to move stones there. Ah, you're the man who was lost in the labyrinth. Did you get used to it?

How long do I have to stay here? But I don't like living at home. I'm not cut out for that.

I like sleeping outside. It's a lot more comforting. What if my parents told me to stop traveling? Maybe they think it's too dangerous?

There's always a risk involved when doing something challenging.

Life isn't a walk in the park. I'm going to leave soon. I'd say it's in my nature.

Why don't I have any baggage? Man should not be obsessed with material things.

For example, a special device for cooking pancakes is anything but essential, right? It's uncomfortable staying in a house. How can you live in a restricted area like this?

Should I pitch a tent in the house? This is far from freedom.

You may feel I'm selfish, but it's just that I know what I want. I'm going to leave soon. I haven't set any destination.

I just follow my instincts. I've never trusted compasses.

Magnets confuse our natural sense of direction. I've seen my parents for the first time in ten years. Thank you for giving me the chance.

My mother, Qasim, is younger than my father, Surayj, by six years... What? The names are wrong?

Never mind the details. The calculations are what count. So, Quzman died before me. I thought I'd be the one to die first. Well, I'll soon be joining him...

You need my signature? If you bring my work, I'll give you my autograph! When a man dies, his wife should be with him. We broke up long ago...

So, I don't need to get any closer to him. He wants to talk with you. You go ahead.

He meant Rabbih. Yes, I know. He's stubborn, but has some character.

He knows art. He once admired my work! Ah, you're the young man from the Picture Book Village. Wait a second. Huh? What am I doing? The bugs are eating these flowers, so I'm crushing the bugs.

This red flower can be used for dye. I used to grow them when I lived here.

So, what do you need from Misjah, artiste extraordinaire? Nothing special? Then I'll get back to my work... So, you have something else to say? What bad timing! Hold on a minute. If you want my autograph, bring me one of my works of art and I'll sign it for you. Now I'll crush the bugs one after another. It's you again. Now what? Please wait a minute. Moving too quickly may harm my back. My sons have long been independent. I know nothing about them now.

Whether they come here or not, I don't care. They just do as they wish. Ah, you're the young man from the Picture Book Village. This is the dance for sending off the dead.

When a clan chief dies, people gather around and dance. You don't do this back home?

I'm getting too old. Unless I practice in advance, I'll break my bones. Ha, ha, ha. Oh, I almost forgot. If you want my signature, feel free to come get it.

I'm a famous artist. If you have my autographed picture, you'll be rich someday.

However, I won't sign just anything. I only sign my artwork. Hawqal That bird just up and flew away. There wasn't anything wrong with its wings. It flew just fine!

That thing turned around and laughed at me. It made fun of me! Oh, shucks! What a waste. It would have made a fine specimen!

This is a dance for my father. Please don't talk to me right now. I'm too depressed. I can hear it! As an authority on animals, I can hear the angels' flapping wings.

You should talk to him right away. This time he's not lying. I heard the angels.

No bugs! No bugs! No bugs! No bugs! There's no bugs!

Old Quzman? He won't die yet... The first signs are always a false alarm. Oh! That bird is rare! Look! Behind the rock over there!

It must have hurt its wings. Maybe it's in pain. This is quite a rare opportunity.

They're actually called "rarebirds"... and they are indeed rare. So you see my point. It's a very rare experience to catch such a rare bird. So, in a sense, the one who catches it is also rare.

Wait a second. I'll explain how rare it is. I, the animal expert, am going to be a "rare" person. My ambitions are very rare as well.

I'm going to stuff this rare bird! Don't you think that's a rare thing to do? No one's ever tried to stuff a Rarebird. It's a symbol of my true love of animals!

Huh? Why are you staring at me like that? Did I say something strange? Why are you staring at me like that? What did I say? Stuffed animals are important samples.

They're very important for the future of animals. You must understand. Ha, ha, ha. I can stuff that Rarebird!

I definitely want to capture the animal I stuff myself.

You won't feel attached to a stuffed animal unless you've caught it yourself. I've personally caught all my stuffed animals. There's a Rarebird just outside the window. I tried to catch it, but I can't reach it.

So, I'm looking for rare bugs, the Rarebird's favorite food, to lure it closer.

But it's very strange. All the bugs have been crushed... What happened? I've dreamt of stuffing a Rarebird for ages. It's right outside the window!

If we don't feed it now, it'll die before I stuff it. And I won't allow that to happen.

Aren't there any bugs around here? Please help me find some. Argh! Why did this have to happen? Who did this?! The bugs have been exterminated!

Drats! There must be one around somewhere—a quick, shiny, black bug! When a clan chief dies, we dance. They'll also be dancing for me before you know it, I suppose. My father must have been very proud, being surrounded by so many relatives.

You're wondering what we're doing? We scatter these whenever there's a festival in Komo Mai.

My father brought them out from under the bed and passed them out to a bunch of people.

He must have been saving them for this moment. Please talk with my father. He passed out what he'd been saving, this must be his last hour. I bet we all knew he wasn't really dying yet, right?

My father's always been like that. Please find Uncle Rabbih as soon as possible. Ahh. How comforting the sunshine feels. Thank you for helping me!

Bathing in the sunlight makes me feel like I've grown young again. I feel great! You're looking for our family members, right? Do you want me to write down the name of my wife?

...Wait a second. Her name's Kemal. She died about ten years ago. If you need me to sign, hand me the Family Tree. Oh, I see. I've written it already. Sorry. I forgot. Ahh. How comfortable the sunshine feels. Thank you for helping me!

Bathing in the sunlight, I feel like I've grown young again. I feel great! Oh no. I can't read a book written in small letters. It's exhausting.

The book my son is reading is the same one I used to read in the Library of Magic when I was young.

That book tells how to get into the Illusory Fortress, but I don't remember how I did it myself... It's a shame I can't remember. I have such a bad memory.

Curiosity is the key to knowledge. Sense is the key to action. Those are two important tips for adventuring. You're looking for our family members, right? Do you want me to write down the name of my wife?

Her name's Kemal. She died about 10 years back. If you need me to sign, hand me the Family Tree. Tulun I've just talked with my husband. He's such a good man. He's not cheating on me.

I knew it. I knew he's not the kind of person who would betray me. Still, I feel sorry for Al-athir. She's so beautiful, but so sad.

She's always being followed by strange men. She doesn't know how to tell a good one from a bad one.

He listened to her troubles, knowing that it would draw suspicion to him. He's such a kind man, my husband! I'm Sabin's wife. We've decided to reach a compromise for now.

My grandfather wants to talk with you. Please go hear what he has to say. Stop bugging me! I told you, I'm Sabin's wife, okay?! Huh? Rabbih? Never heard of him. Now, do you mind?! I've been telling you that you can't judge people by their looks... It's your own fault for being deceived. You brought it on yourself. You're really annoying me! I have no idea. I'm not interested in stones! Hello there. You know what... I feel uneasy, unless I talk. I can see my husband at long last!

We got married after a long-distance love affair. That's why we're so deeply in love.

My husband's a doctor. His patients need him, so he can't live with me in Anuenue.

But that's okay! He comes here to meet me. Ah, I can hardly wait! Maybe he's busy with a lot of patients today. Or maybe Sallam's keeping him.

Sallam is our son. I'm busy taking care of my father, so I asked my husband to take care of him. You know what?

He's trying to hide something from me. And he won't tell me what it is. I'll never forgive him.

I'm sure it's about a woman. He's such a lady's man. I won't forgive him no matter what! I don't trust him!

He denies it in a very soft voice. He usually shouts at me, though.

Could he be having an affair? If he is, I'll round up evidence and force him to confess! Ah, you must be tired. How is everything? Has the relative hunt been going okay?

A lot of people have come, but my husband hasn't arrived yet. Have you seen him?

Sorry to trouble you, but please find him as soon as possible. I really want to see him. Huh? What does he look like? He's not too handsome, but he's okay. And very dedicated.

Kind, too. And since he's a doctor, he's very popular with the ladies. That's my only concern. Did you just ask me "what if he's having an affair?" Why would you even ask such a silly question?

That couldn't possibly happen, but I'd never forgive him if it did. He'd never cheat on me, though. Listen.

We haven't seen each other for a long time, but he's trying to avoid me.

Why is he acting so sheepish? Why does it have to be like this? What's his problem? What do you think's making him act like this? Why won't he tell me?

It must be another woman! That's it! He's always been too much of a lady's man!

If so, I won't forgive him! I'm going to divorce him. Argh! I'm so frustrated!

Why won't he tell me? Husbands and wives are supposed to help each other!

It must be such a big problem that he can't even tell me. I'm so worried about him! Oh, give me a break! I'm Sabin's wife, Tulun!

You're having an affair with my husband. Shame on you, woman! Oh yuck. Why do semi-attractive women act so haughty? I'll never be like that.

Sabin wouldn't have an affair with a cow like that. I don't have to worry about that. I feel sorry for beautiful women. They're always followed around by men interested in outer appearances.

But people should be judged by who they are, not by how they look.

You brought it on yourself. Don't take it out on me. You're barking up the wrong tree. Why is it so hard for you to catch on? You must be hysterical and crazy.

If there's something going on between you and my husband, it's nothing. It's not a big deal!

Oh, I'm so sorry. Thank you for talking with me. You can go now. Tufayr I don't believe in the existence of souls.

This dance is to appease the souls that have left their bodies, right? I don't believe in it. I don't believe in ghosts or spirits. There are no such things in this world.

Someday I'll debunk the mystery surrounding all those silly ghost stories. Just wait and see! Why... Me? This...

Why are you talking to me at a time like this?! You should go talk to Grandpa!

As long as I'm here, you can't take the Terrible Painting. I locked it up myself.

Stop rummaging around near my feet mumbling whether you really need it or not. Don't talk to me now. You can't take the Terrible Painting now. Talk to Grandpa! Now! Falcon's Theorem by Magic Analysis

First of all, magic is... ... ...(abbreviated)

I announce herein Falcon's Theorem of Magic Analysis! ... ... ...

Not interested. Oh, it's you. Have you found out how to enter the Illusory Fortress? I haven't a clue.

If we don't hurry, my father may die. We must do something!

I wonder how my father, Tumart, entered the Illusory Fortress. I still don't get it. This document says something related to it, but I don't understand what this page says.

My father must have read this page. He wrote something here. I don't understand it either, though.

12 of 12 of 12. 2nd from the right inside. Is it a secret code or something? My father's an old man, now. As a translator of ancient languages, I'm better than he is.

However, I still don't understand. You'd better look for it yourself. Oh, it's you. Thank you for rescuing my father from the Illusory Fortress!

My father doesn't appear to remember how he entered the place.

The key must be on this page. Please don't tell me. I'm determined to discover it by myself. But what does the Illusory Fortress look like? I'm so curious.

Oh! Don't tell me. Don't spoil my excitement! These notes look like my father's handwriting, but what do they mean? I asked him, but he won't tell me.

If I solve the puzzle by using these notes, it won't be my own achievement, either! Wahshiyah The old man has passed on.

I think I'm going to die soon, too.

I can hardly wait! All I can really do for Quzman is dance, I suppose...

I think he's been waiting for you. You should go talk to him. Huh? Rabbih? That name's familiar... Who was that?...

Huh? Quzman's brother? Come to think of it, I think I saw him somewhere. Huh? Who might you be? You don't look like my son...

Oh! Oh! You're a friend of mine! What? Who might you be?

Ah! Ah! You're looking for something for Quzman! So, what can I do for you? When the old man dies, we'll all dance for him. I'm practicing.

When you're old, you need to warm up before doing just about anything. Son? Huh? Let me think... Do I have a son? I don't think I remember.

But you need a son. When you get old, you'll be very lonely without one. Huh? Who might you be? Are you saying you're interested in me? I for one am not interested in you.

Ah! Ah! You must be my friend! What? Who might you be?

Ah! Ah! You're looking for something for the old man! So what can I do for you? Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump Jump

Round Round Round Roooooouuuuuunnnnnd... Sabin Okay, I managed to trick her. I'm really good at these sort of things...

My father's dead... It still hasn't hit me. Well, I'd better dance for him now. I want to dance for my father. So, please don't disturb me. Can't you see?

"I wanna die in style!" My father always said that... He was always so showy.

He took great care of me, even though I'm not related to him by blood.

Of course, as long as I keep doing this, I don't need to see Al-athir or Tulun. I don't know anything.

I didn't see anything. I didn't hear anything. It's not my fault.

Is Quzman on his deathbed? No, that can't be right. He should be just fine. This is truly depressing. I didn't know it, but I've been messing around with a relative of mine.

Hey, but I can't run from this. I've gotta tackle this problem head on, and talk my way out of it!

I have no choice, right? To be happy or not to be happy... That's the real question. Okay. Here's Plan A: First I'll express my love, and deny anything happened with an innocent look.

When they meet, I'll hold my head in my hands and keep my mouth shut. I'll play dumb and won't say a word!

When they're apart, I'll tell each how much I love them. Yes! That's a perfect plan. Now... I'll practice Plan B just in case. I'm sorry! This is all my fault! Though I love you so much, I've made a terrible mistake... Does a simple "Sorry" work better? Right. "Sorry" sounds more frank. Along with the puppy-dog eyes... Sorry! This is all my fault! Though I love you so much, I've made a big mistake... Should I really stretch it out? I'm admitting I was wrong. Right. I should be more polite. I have to be careful. Sorry! This is all my fault! Though I've always loved you so much, I've made a huge mistake. Perfect. In a worst case scenario, I'll opt for Plan C: No words, no eye contact.

I'll just clam up and not say a word. That bail-out plan is used by all the primates. Al-athir, what do you think I'm hiding? I won't hide anything!

Don't you understand how much I love you? Just look into my eyes. Al-athir, I'm your husband. Why would I even think of flirting with other women?

I used to, but not anymore. I only love you. I can't love anyone else.

You should trust me. I'm not hiding anything. I just love you. Al-athir...Listen, you've got it all wrong.

I'm not hiding anything. You're making a mistake.

Sorry. I was so busy at the office... I know! Let's you, I, and little Rushd go to the park or do something fun together! Tulun, what do you think I'm hiding? I have nothing to hide!

Don't you understand how much I love you? Just look into my eyes. Tulun, I'm your husband. Why would I even think of flirting with other women?

I used to, but not anymore. I only love you. I can't love anyone else.

You should trust me. I'm not hiding anything. I just love you. Tulun. Listen, you've got it all wrong.

I'm not hiding anything. You're making a mistake.

Sorry. I was so busy at the office... I know! Let's you, I, and Sallam go on a trip together! They both haven't come yet. I have a little more time to cook up a strategy. This is the worst day of my life. I won't choke under pressure.

You gotta cheer me up, so I can survive this crisis. Brother! Plan A: Deny it by expressing love. Then keep my mouth shut.

I'm not sure about this.

Plan B: Apologize before they talk. And I may overcome this crisis...

I don't think so...

Plan C: Keep quiet. Never utter a word.

...This may be the best way... I don't know anything.

I didn't see anything. I didn't hear anything. It's not my fault.

I intend to convey that by keeping silent. So please, don't talk to me. Ah...This is very bad. I'm in a major crisis here. I should keep quiet and wait.

If I say a word, I'll be targeted. I should stay quiet. Sallam Everyone's going around in circles. This is cool! Why don't you join us? Circling around like this ensures my grandpa will rest in peace. I want to do it for grandma, too. I'm goin' straight to heaven!

And... I'll have fun with the ladies!

That's what my grandpa told us. That sounds like fun... I don't know anything.

I didn't see anything. I didn't hear anything. It's not my fault.

That's what my dad was reciting! My grandpa says that's the strongest spell...

Why is that? Oh no, if my friends aren't around, I get pretty shy. So I better stay here.

Is Rushd here yet? I thought you said you'd bring her. I'll stay in this corner until then. Has Rushd come yet? Bring her here. La la la la la...

I don't know why, but she's goin' in circles, so I'm doing it, too. La la la la la...

I feel dizzy! This is fun! But I feel sick...I can't stop because Rushd is doing it. Oh no, if my friends aren't around, I get pretty shy. That's why I want to be alone.

Has Rushd come yet? Bring her as soon as possible! I'll stay here until then. My father said I'd make a pitiful man. But I can't help it.

I'm not my father. I just can't talk with other girls like my father does. I was told to watch my grandpa. I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why. I wonder why.

I don't know why. I heard grandpa is dying. Rushd This dance is fun!

Circling with everyone is a dance revolution! Let's dance together! Circling like this ensures my grandpa will rest in peace. I want to do it for everyone else, too. I'm goin' straight to heaven!

And... I'll have fun with the ladies!

My dad said the same thing. Hmmm. I don't know why, but my mom's really grumpy. I wonder what happened.

I asked her if she knows a man named Rabbih, but she told me to get lost because I'm a child.

When I asked her if I could ask again when I wasn't a child, she glared at me. I was so scared. I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored! I'm bored!

I have nothing to do. All I can do is walk around in circles like this. I'm sooo bored!

Hey, mister! You don't have anything interesting, do you? Isn't there anything fun to do? I hope so, otherwise I'll start getting depressed.

Hey, don't look like that. It's not your fault. I really wasn't expecting much. Since I have nothing to do, I'm just doing what they're doing. Is this fun? I've been circling for a long time. I'm tired. But I'm too tired to even feel it.

I'm used to circling now. So...big deal, huh. I guess it's pretty pointless. Aunt Taymiya told me to watch grandpa, so that's what I'm doing right now.

But when I kept watching him, he told me to stop because it makes him uneasy.

What should I do? Anyway, I want to watch grandpa while I can because they say he'll be gone. My grandpa and father are very similar.

They don't look similar at all. But when they talk about ladies, they're like the same person. That picture... That's a picture of my first wife. Her name's Usaybia. I heard she died a long time ago.

Okay, hand me the Family Tree. I'll write Usaybia's name for you. Usaybia's daughter, Yamin, must be living in Cursa, unless she moved or something.

I heard she got married and has a daughter. Will you bring them all together? This is a picture of Usaybia, Quzman's first wife. You don't need to keep lookin' at it! What? The drawer is open. Oh, I almost forgot! Taymiya forced me to open it. I had it locked for the longest time...

I'm mighty embarrassed. There's a whole mess of things in it, but can you get rid of them for me? This is a picture of Usaybia, Quzman's first wife. She was very beautiful. Huh? The drawer is open. Oh no! Don't look in there! Never look in the drawer! I won't allow you to meddle in that drawer!

That's off-limits! My reputation is at stake here. I won't let you. Don't look at that! Young ladies shouldn't meddle! There's a ton of Naughty Novels in this drawer. Should we take one, ? There a picture of Quzman's wife, and lots of...novels. You want one, ? Yeah. Nah. You've obtained a Naughty Novel. Okay, I'll forget about the Naughty Novel. All right. I'll forget about the Naughty Novel. I wonder what's in here...Huh?! What are these?...

Ugly decorations, poorly done paintings...Looks like there's nothing but junk in these drawers. Old decorations, a stack of awful paintings...Looks like there's nothing but junk in these drawers. If we look inside the drawers...Hmm?! What are these?...

Misshapen ornaments, badly done paintings...It looks like there's nothing but junk in these drawers. Misshapen ornaments, badly done paintings...It looks like there's nothing but junk in these drawers. There are a lot of terrible paintings on the shelf. Would you like one, ? Let's take one. We don't need it. You've obtained a Terrible Painting. Okay, I'll forget about the Terrible Painting. All right. I'll forget about the Terrible Painting. What a terrible painting! Why did he collect such garbage? I'm sorry to say it, but this is really awful. Why did he collect them? Oh, that! A terrible painting! I remember! Those were painted by my second wife, Misjah. Awful, aren't they?

She's an artist. I don't know if she still paints, but she lives in Picture Book Village.

She says she's a genius abstract artist. You can take as many of those old things as you like. I'm sorry, but please don't take flames from the fireplace. I'm from the Ice Lands, and if flames get taken from the fireplace, I'm afraid the fire will go out. I'm sorry. Please don't take any flames from the fireplace for awhile. I'm afraid it will go out if you take any. Flames are crackling. The fireplace appears to be adjusted, so that the flames don't go nuts. There's nothing special about this. It's just an ordinary dresser. They say Old Quzman's last hour is near. But what's a last hour? You fool. It's just a figure of speech. I know! Don't be so mean! It means he's dying. Didn't you know that? Wow! I didn't know that. You know a lot of stuff! Old Quzman's final hour is near. Please talk to him. They can climb the dresser now! I'm glad we brought them here. I can't help crying with joy! Please don't touch the dresser while the kids are on it. It's kind of dangerous. I told you. Please don't touch the dresser, while the kids are on it! You're really pushing my buttons here! Please don't touch the dresser while the kids are on it, got that?! It looks like wood. It smells like wood. Yup, it's definitely wood. A hammer and some nails are among the household tools that have been left scattered about. The owner of this house is not the tidiest of persons. A chisel is stuck in the stump. A few tools are scattered about. Hey! Don't touch that! If there's something to eat in the barrel, then it's mine! You! *puff* *puff*. Don't touch the barrel! My favorite food might be in there! Handmade barrels. Though you can't see what's inside, it looks like something's being aged. I'm sorry, but don't touch the table while I'm cooking. It makes me nervous. They seem to use this area as a kitchen. Poor quality, handmade containers line the tabletop. Hey! Where are you going?! I'm fine now. Listen to what I have to say. Hey! Where are you going?! You should show the Family Tree to Taymiya before you leave.

Imperial soldiers are out there. We can't just up and leave. Well, you wanna try to get out of here, ? Yeah, let's do it. No, let's stay here. Okay, let's get out of here. Water is gushing out from the fountain. The secret passage to the well is blocked. Candles are glowing eerily. Phew... Yeah...You read my mind, .

I'm comin' for you, Giacomo... She'll have to wait, .

First things first. I'm going for you, Giacomo! E00050C4 Passage 1:02 Man He...Hello?! Is anybody there? Are you an Imperial? Have a heart. Please let me out of here!

Damn. The door's been locked. We'll need to find the key... Is anybody out there! If anyone is out there, please open this door and let me out of here! I found a key in Rodolfo's room, . Let's use it. I think I found a key in Rodolfo's room a long time ago. Let's use it. We found a key in Rodolfo's room, . Why don't we use it now? Okay. Let's not... Woman Ohhhh...Ow... Could that voice be...?! Are you in there?!

Darn, it's locked! Guess they're not gonna leave it open, right? We've gotta go find the key. Let's find the key. It must be somewhere around here. The stained glass looks expensive. Frozen Shield E00050CB Passage 2:03 Chain Mail E00050D2 Passage 3:04 The way to the roof is just up ahead, I guess... If we could get past these statues. Don't worry. I saw them trigger the lock when they brought me in. There was something sticking out around here... Here it is!

See? There's a switch near the belly of each statue. Pressing them at the same time should unlock the mechanism. Hmm... Ah, this must be it. Found it? Yup. On "three." One...two...THREE! Yes! To the roof! What's this, ? Looks like there's some kind of a switch here. Should we press it? Yeah, let's press it. Let's not press it. ...Nothing happened. Damn it. Guess we've gotta look around this place some more. Yeah, you're right. It's probably better to be cautious here. Let's check around this place some more. Hey, hold it right there! This is a restricted area now.

During the Empire's stay, some of the Imperials caused a lot of trouble up on the roof. Lord Rodolfo's naturally furious.

We've all been on roof clean-up duty ever since. We've been cleaning up the mess, tending to the flowers, and of course, paying attention to the fish.

That's why the roof's currently off-limits.

Come back later if you want to go up there. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to come back later. E00050D9 Rooftop:05 Moon Buckle What's this?... Intriguing Mystery Multi-colored fish are swimming around, full of life. Damn. It's leaving! Rodolfo Huh? You two! No! Get back here, Giacomo!! Damn... *grunt* Are you all right, Kalas? We can't stay here! Yeah...I know. E00050E0 Lord's Room:06 Guestroom Key Hey, someone's coming. Man ...They seem to have found what they were after.

What a relief. Had they failed,

I can't imagine what sort of punishment we'd be in for... Rodolfo's Man My thoughts echo yours, Sire.

So, what should be done with the girl? Rodolfo "Dispose of her as you please" is what he told me.

Hah! The insolence!

Giacomo, was it? How dare he order me around! A mere soldier! It seems the girl stole something from the Empire.

Foolish waif. Did she truly believe she could get away with that? Against the Empire?

Crossing the Emperor alone is asking for certain death.

Heaven knows what treasure she was after... Yet our visitors from the Empire didn't seem to have dug anything up from the forest, Sire.

If it wasn't for treasure, then why did they need to send in a scouting team? What were they up to in Moonguile Forest? I do hope nothing terrible is about to happen.

There are rumors about that forest, both ancient and ominous... Humph. You're referring to the old legends, are you?

Something about an "evil monster" being held in by a seal?

Nonsense. I don't care what the Empire is up to...I'm in no position to meddle.

It would be wise of you to stay out of their way, too.

Unless you want to end up like that foolish girl. Where is she now? Huh? Oh, it's you.

You don't need to put your guard up. I won't do you any harm.

Besides, I'm very much afraid of the forces of darkness. I plan on keeping a low profile.

Ladekahn and Corellia have joined forces. But, as you can see, I'm too much of a coward to join them in battle.

If I leave it all to them, everything should turn out just fine. Make yourself at home in my mansion. Wind Blow Lv 1 The Goldoba will be leaving shortly.

They plan on leaving a small garrison of soldiers, but it won't be for long.

Everything should be back to normal soon enough.

All told, I figure things could have been much worse. Hmm. It is almost time... Time to see the Goldoba off. What a pity they can't stay for tea. ... ... So the Goldoba's leaving soon...

We don't have much time. Let's get Giacomo. Let's look for . ...Yeah. Good idea. We should find Giacomo before doing anything else.

Let's go, ! ...Okay. Let's find first. Giacomo will have to wait...

God knows what they'll do to her unless we help her out...

What are we waiting for? Let's get moving, ! E00050E7 Guest Room 1:07 Man Oh, thank god. Glad I'm getting out of here. Thanks for saving me. My name's Aljeemo, by the way. Aljeemo I came from Cebalrai to buy some goods. Just for a little fun, I went gambling, but I ended up losing big time.

When I told the gamblers I couldn't pay up, a gang of shady thugs showed up and next thing I know I'm locked up in this room.

Man, it was quite an ordeal. Sometimes you just have bad luck, I guess. I'll win big next time... I lost everything this time, but I see my luck changing. Next time, I'm gonna win big. Come to think of it, his wife wanted me to give him something. Right, ? Don't I have something for him? Do you remember what it was, ? The pendant, remember? I forgot. Hey, I just remembered. Your wife wanted me to give this to you. Oh, I just remembered. Your wife wanted me to give this to you. Is that...That's Maynee's... So, you've met my wife? She wants me to go back home as soon as possible?

Thank you. What have I been doing?... I'll head back to the village right away.

Here, I want to give you something for rescuing me. It might prove to be helpful some day. Voice 2 Hell, I forgot, too. It's probably not important... Well, so long Aljeemo. Remember to take better care of yourself. Hmmm. I didn't receive it myself so I don't remember clearly, either.

Never mind. Aljeemo, you should go back to the village as soon as possible. Your wife is waiting for you. Waterweed is clinging to the brass pot. These flowers have been well cared for. They seem to be the same kind as those found in the town's flower bed. This is very well-polished. Not a speck of dust in sight. Mink Coat E00050EE Guest Room 2:08 You don't work here, do you? You don't look like someone from the Empire, either.

Hmm, let me guess. You're a friend of the girl locked up in the guestroom. You've come here to save her, right?

In that case I'll give you some useful information. The room she's in is locked.

From what I know, the lord always keeps the keys. If you go to his room, you may find the key to her room.

How dare he imprison such a cute young girl! I hope you can rescue her. The key is in the lord's room. I hope you succeed. Good luck! From the sounds of things out there, looks like you managed to save the girl. Be careful not to get caught now.

Maybe this is my chance, too. Maybe I should go back home. I'm so fed up with taking care of His Rotundness, Lord Rodolfo. Take good care of the Koa Monkey for me. With that monkey off my back, I'll finally be able to get my work done! All I hear these days are ugly rumors. Living here in the Mansion, I don't have any real grasp of how bad things actually are.

Maybe it's not even safe for me to be working here. Should I just up and quit? Koa Monkey Kiiii! Kiiiiiii! Kiii! Oh, he's called a Koa Monkey. It's Lord Rodolfo's pet.

He doesn't pay attention to it like he used to, though. It makes my job difficult, and I don't know what to do about it.

If you don't mind, could you take it somewhere? I'll explain its disappearance to the people of the mansion. What do you say, ? Let's take it. I don't want it. Oh, this is wonderful! Now I can get my work done... Take good care of that animal. Shadow Wings Waterweed is clinging to the brass pot. Hmm...you sure are curious.

That waterweed is easy to take care of, but it requires Stagnant Water. My master doesn't know that, by the way. So what do you think? The flowers in bloom are beautiful, aren't they? I take care of those flowers myself.

Do you like flowers? If you want some, I don't mind if you take a few. Oh bother! We hardly get any guests, but there are so many guestrooms in this mansion!

You don't know how much work it is for us maids to clean all the rooms. What? You still want that flower? Why not, go ahead and take some. I clean that drawer every day! It's really clean, isn't it?

Now, now, don't touch. I have to constantly wipe off handprints when people touch it. E00050F5 Guest Room 3:09 Chronos Blow 1 Shrike Statue Waterweed is clinging to the brass pot. These flowers have been well cared for. They seem to be the same kind as those found in the town's flower bed. A memo here says "Stupid Rodolfo! Die you idiot!" Rodolfo's Man We still have her locked up in the guestroom.

It seems she took quite a stomping from them. Rodolfo You may dispose of her tomorrow.

The sooner this is all behind us, the better. As you wish, Sire. ...! Meemai Squeak! Hey, ! Are you all right? Ugh...Ahh...Uhh... ...? Is that you? You came for me! Hold still, while I untie you. How do you feel? ...Terrible. Give me...a moment. Please... Meemai! You're here, too...

Thank you... Don't worry, I'll be fine... Phew... I'm much better now...

Thank you so much for coming, , . Squeak. You too, Meemai. Thank you for saving me. Meemai! Let me guess—the only reason you came with me was to save Xelha.

Talk about a free ride... Squeak. Squeak. *giggles* So, Xelha. What's the Empire up to?

What's the deal with that shining Magnus? Let's talk about it later.

First we have to get it back from them...

Will you help me? First we have to get it back from them...

Will you help me, , ? Let's help her. Let's refuse. Please! This is very important. I really need your help, . I beg you, . Without your help...

There's no way I could face the Empire. Hey, knock it off, . There's no time to argue. We'll go with you, . I've got some personal business to take care of with them.

They won't get away this time! Thank you so much! Let's hurry. ...Okay. We'll go with you, . Right, ? Meemai, what about you?

Are you gonna ride with Kalas? Or with me? Hmm, figures. All right, time to move. E00050FC Guest Room 4:10 Waterweed is clinging to the brass pot. These flowers have been well cared for. They seem to be the same kind as those found in the town's flower bed. A desk that has been thoroughly polished. You wonder whether the maid is a hard worker or if her master is demanding. Ice Dagger E0005103 Kitchen Storage:11 Give me a break!

Since the Empire came to this mansion, I've had to prepare all their meals.

And of course, we have to pay for everything. Humph. World-famous Empire!

I don't know what they're up to, but I just want them to leave. Besides, they're such gluttons!

I have to prepare their meals from early morning till late at night!

Whew. Just complaining about it makes me feel better. Time to get back to cooking... Whew. I feel a little better now that I've gotten that off my chest. *sigh*...Now it's back to cooking, I guess. First, I'm too busy—now it's this.

Since that lot from the Empire left, I've been bored out of my mind! I'm a cook who's not preparing any meals!

You know anyone who likes to eat Pow? Right now, I don't have enough work to maintain my cooking skills. Since the Imperials eat so much, we bought tons of food to feed them.

Now what am I gonna do with all this extra food? It's a damn waste I tell you!

Whew. Just complaining about it makes me feel better. Well, back to cooking, I guess. This is crazy! I give up...

...I just wish I could say that and go home. But I hardly have enough strength to do so. *sigh* Oh, what should I do? What should I do? I can't believe I forgot to buy the lord's favorite yogurt...

He'll kill me. Oh, what should I do, what can I do? Thank you so much! I would have been in a lot of trouble without your help. I won't forget your kindness. Thanks for your offer, but I don't need Milk, I need Yogurt. Huh? You're giving this to me? How generous of you! You're a life-saver.

I'll give this to you in return. It's okay. You saved my life! Fire Burst Lv 2 Wait a minute...this is cheese. I want yogurt. Thanks anyway... Woman with a Bracelet Huh? You're giving this to me? We were in a jam, running out of cheese!

I can make the main dish now! Thank you. Now I can go home. Oh, you didn't have to... I just needed one block of Cheese. I appreciate the thought, though. I meet my grandfather every day. Isn't it a bit too dramatic for me to sign a Family Tree and then rush home? Al-athir Is this okay? I'll go home when I finish doing the dishes. Please go ahead of me. You said you came here on behalf of my grandfather. Do I have to sign the Family Tree? Oh really? My grandfather asked you? That's why you're looking for his relatives?

I think I understand. I want to go home, too, but I haven't finished preparing the meals. The kitchen's run out of cheese and I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry, but I can't go home unless the meals have been prepared and served. Like I said before, we've run out of cheese, so we can't finish preparing the meals. I'm sorry, but I can't go home until I've served the meals. That's weird. Where could it be? Hmm...are we out of cheese?

Without cheese, I won't be able to finish cooking the main dish... We're using special homemade tomato sauce. The flavor won't be complete without some cheese. You don't happen to have any by chance, do you? Oh, it's no use looking. We're completely out of cheese. I guess I have no choice but to go buy some... I'm sorry, but I'm very busy right now. Until the main dish has been prepared and served, I can't go home. If I only had cheese, I could head home soon. But I've run out of it. Do I have to go buy some? You don't have any by any chance, do you? Thank you for the cheese. Now I can make the main dish! I'll go home as soon as I finish doing the dishes. Thank you. Please go before me. Have Sabin and Rushd arrived already? I'm Sabin's wife. I'll go home as soon as I finish doing the dishes. It'll take a little while, so you should go before me. Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Squeak squeak. Squ-squeak. -- Diadem, Land of the Clouds -- E000510A Sub World Xelha, I was wondering about your pendant...

Didn't they take it when you were caught? Well, Giacomo thought he took it from me at Lord Rodolfo's mansion... but I was one step ahead of him. The one he took is a fake.

I made it just in case, as soon as I left the Imperial City.

You never know, right? Right on, Xelha! But it's hard to believe they didn't notice. Giacomo isn't as stupid as he looks, you know. I asked an old witch to cast an intricate illusion spell on it.

You wouldn't be able to tell them apart. Not that easily, anyway.

I'll bet Geldoblame and Giacomo are furious by now. Hehe, that's a hilarious thought.

Okay, let's find this Shrine of the Winds and see what's going on. -- Nashira, the Fishing Village -- E0005111 Shop:00 Conversation with store clerk in Nashira E0005118 Outside 1:01 Anna Hey, you! Why are you yelling at a little kid?!

Hey! Let go of her! You're hurting her! Imperial Soldier Y-you...inferior natives. You're not allowed to cross us!! You won't get away with this!! Yeah, whatever! Show me what you got!

The people of Diadem never give up without a fight!! You wench!

If we weren't under orders to keep hands off civilians, I'd make short work of you! Even if you kill me, you Imperials will never take the hearts and minds of our people.

Get it? You'll have a different way of seeing things soon enough. You'll regret you ever said that! Inside! Let's go! If you want to go to the Empire, try going through the castle town. There's a big port there.

The only ships that come to Nashira are the merchants from Pherkad. If you want to go to the Empire... Oh... They're already here!

No point in going there now, is there? You're still going to the Empire, regardless of what's happening? You're odd. You goin' to the Empire? You'd better be careful. It's dangerous there.

Especially after the Emperor's death. I bet the place has fallen into complete chaos. You goin' to the Empire? Have things gotten better there? I guess we can't really expect much.

Anyways, it's dangerous everywhere now, so be careful. This boat is going to the Sadal Suud Frontier. Would you like to board? It wouldn't be such a good idea to go back to Sadal Suud. Plus, I'm in a hurry. There's no time for going back. Our priority now is to head for Anuenue. In additon, King Ladekahn has provided us with a ship at Castle Elnath. Yeah, that's right. Let's hurry. Hello, travelers. Is this your first time to Nashira?

It's really peaceful and laid-back here. Hope you enjoy your stay. Can you hear it? It's the sound of the clouds. It'd be so wonderful if I could fly through this sea of clouds with "Wings of the Heart." Is it true that people of the Empire gave up their wings for those strange machines on their backs? I question the wisdom of depending on machines. I wouldn't want to use them.

I don't like machines. Well, I've never used one before, but I just don't like them.

I kinda feel it in my wings, that something is just not right. The scarlet sky of Diadem is beautiful. So much different than Imperial skies, which I heard are polluted by machinery.

By the way, it's been ages since I last saw the white clouds of the Cloud Passage. Monsters live there, so I can't go by myself, since I'm a girl and all.

I've been longing to see those white clouds again. Sure, the scarlet clouds are beautiful, but I can reminisce a little, can't I? Oh! A white cloud!! You got it for me? Ohh, it's so much more beautiful than I remembered!

If you were to say "I got this cloud just for you" to a woman, it would make her weak in the knees! You should try it someday! You've obtained a Popular Pickup Line. It makes me wanna see heaps of white clouds. Maybe I'll try going up to the Cloud Passage myself.

Do you have any more white clouds? If you give me some more, I'll give you the best pickup line in the world—the one used on me by my boyfriend. Thank you! It's so beautiful. Okay, I'll tell you as promised, but come closer so no one can hear me, 'cause it's kinda embarrassing. Hey! Get away from the ship! We have orders not to let anyone leave this village!

We won't restrain you, but if you try anything funny, we won't hesitate.

In other words, go away! Stop wandering the streets and go home! Greythorne Squeak squeak. Meemai Squ-squeak. Excuse me. Where could I catch a ride to the Empire? The Empire? You'd need to make your way down to the castle town. There's a large port there.

Nashira here is just a small village, as you can see. The only ships around here are merchant ships flying in and out from Pherkad. I see...

Thanks. I'm headed for the castle, too. I need to talk to the King...

Which means we'll be traveling together a little longer. But , , before we set off, why don't we stop by the village?

We might need a Magnus or two for the road. Yeah, good idea. The final battle has begun... E000511F Outside 2:02 Young man Hello there. I don't believe we've met. Are you travelers, perchance? Um...Yeah, you could say that. I see.

I'm not a resident of this village, but I hope you enjoy your stay.

It's a great place to relax. I tend to spend a lot of time down here away from the city and the Embassy.

I prefer the humble atmosphere of this village to the glitz and glam of the city. The Embassy... Then you are from the Empire... Yes. My name is Lyude, Imperial Ambassador to Diadem. ...Yet the title of "Ambassador" is but a name. An excuse for sending me away.

The relationship between Diadem and our Empire has always been a little shaky.

Even today, there is little if any exchange between the two nations.

When I first arrived, the villagers were suspicious. They thought I might be a spy! Besides, the Empire cares very little about people of other nations... Thus my post is much less important than it sounds. ... This must be Gibari's boat.

Shall we head for the Lesser Celestial River then, ? Let's go! No, not yet. Okay. Tell me when you're ready, then. Right. Time to leave! Let's get on board! Reblys Wait, ! Think about what you're doing! How can you just ignore our village rules? I don't have time to mess around with those ancient superstitions.

Sitting around doing nothing like you guys isn't gonna change anything. I'll do what I have to do. That's... You can't! What are you gonna do?

Stand in my way? Maybe use force to stop me? Answer me, Reblys. Damn you, Gibari! Sorry, pal. We're short on time... I'll see ya around. ! You think the whole world revolves around you?

Always doing your own thing, your own way...

Why don't you ever think about the villagers, and what's important to them? As long as you get what you want, nothing else matters, is that it? Hey! Calm down, Reblys. I was never good at these...debates. Hey, it's too calm. The sea of clouds looks much better when it's stormy.

Fish flock to the surface when the rain is pouring and the wind is roaring.

If the sea stays calm like this, fishermen like me won't be able to make a living! We fishermen are a superstitious lot. Many say strangers bring bad luck, and that's why we don't welcome them.

So they may not think too highly of you. No offense, but just... bad luck, ya know?

Everyone's having a poor catch, so they're pretty edgy around here. You better not wander around too much. Hey! The fish are back! The calm is gone and a storm is brewing again!!

Let's go fishing! !! You get ready, too! We're gonna be busy! ... ... ... What? What? Don't spook me like that! I was just thinking about something.

I've got a couple of things to worry about. So leave me alone for a while, will ya? Man oh man oh man! What's this I've been hearing? That ancient, wicked god's been resurrected, or somethin'?

Well, as long as the catch is good, I won't complain. Time to go fishin'. You look a little envious of my simple lifestyle. Well, that's the way I've always lived.

It's not like I have a choice, you know. Catching fish is my job. If I don't work, I can't eat. The sea of clouds has been dead calm and we haven't been able to catch anything at all. Maybe the fish have their own reasons for not biting...

So, you want to listen to an old man babble? Let's hear it. Please don't. Sure. You got a story, old man? All right. Listen up, young'uns. The way I figure...

the world, the fish, and us have been maintaining a good balance.

But, even though today's just the same as yesterday... and tomorrow will probably be the same as today...

there's no guarantee that disaster won't befall us at any time...

There's a whole world out there, you know what I mean?

What happened today just happened. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Things happen when they happen. Wouldn't you agree, my young friends? Umm, sorry old guy, but we're in a hurry. See ya around. I think the young have much to learn from us old folks. Especially wise old men like myself. Ho ho ho. I know things happen when they happen, but I never thought things could get this bad... Soldiers marching in without warning... Anna? I saw her going to the warehouse. She probably went to get some supplies for the bar.

She's really kept calm, even at a time like this...Give her credit, she's got a good head on her shoulders. Ho ho ho, I told you, things happen when they happen.

The fish are back! Just look at the villagers out fishing. The fish are bitin' away again like old times. Once every three days, we offer a prayer of gratitude to the sea bream statue.

Thank you for a big catch today. Let there be a big catch like that tomorrow. The fish are back! I am so happy about that, but at the same time I am worried about the world.

What's the point if there's no one left to eat the fish we catch? I hope everything's going to be okay. If you're thinking of going to Sheliak, try going through the Cloud Passage to the east of the village.

But I heard it's been flooded over, so you might not be able to get through. If you get to Sheliak, there should be ships that can take you to the Empire. If we can't even get out of the village, going to Sheliak is out of the question...

As you can see, all the village exits are guarded by Imperial soldiers. You can't find Anna? No, she couldn't have gone out of the village.

As you can see, all the village exits are guarded by Imperial soldiers. No one could have passed. I heard the Lesser Celestial River's no longer flooded over!! Strange how the flood subsided just as the soldiers retreated...

I wonder what caused the flood in the first place... The Lesser Celestial River is an offshoot of the Greater Celestial River. I wonder if it has something to do with that...

...Couldn't have been, because if something happened to the Greater Celestial, it would have been a lot worse. The Pekusa seaweed has fever-reducing properties. It grows in the Greater Celestial River, so gathering it is very dangerous.

If I could get it easily, I could make a handsome profit. But I wouldn't wanna risk my life for it. Listen, whether you like it or not, you'll eventually run into the ambassador. He usually hangs around in this village.

I have no idea why he even likes this place. He never seems to go back to the embassy in Sheliak either. The ambassador isn't scary. Seriously, talk to him and you'll see he's a nice man. What's up with them? They told us not to leave the village and then suddenly retreated.

The ambassador is such a good man, but those guys were really mean. Are they really from the same nation? I'm sorry... I have yet to find the answer to that myself... I'll let you in on a secret, okay? This is strictly between you and me.

You know about the Shrine of the Winds, don't you? An odd crack has appeared there. No one knows why, though. That was what I heard, but please keep it a secret.

The crack appears to lead somewhere. To where, no one knows. Did you see those horrible monsters outside? What's going to happen to our village?

Huh? The same thing's happening around the whole world? Oh no! This is Sir 's boat. He said he came by boat because the river was flooded, so he couldn't come on foot.

This boat is only for Sir . It's only a one-man boat, so he won't let me get on it with him. Still, he promised me he'll go to the Cloud Passage with me when the river subsides.

Hehehe, I like Sir , he's so kind. Hmmm? Where's Sir Lyude? He promised to take me to the Cloud Passage after the river subsides... Sir , where have you been? We're going to walk to the Cloud Passage when the water's gone, right?

I'm sorry. There's some work I really have to get finished.

When I've completed my work, I'll be sure to take you there. Can you wait till then? Ohh...

Okay! I'll be waiting. Promise you'll go with me, okay? Everyone was talking about the Shrine of the Winds.

I don't know what it was all about though. Heh heh, sorry. Sir , I know you're busy. I really do.

I won't be selfish anymore, so please do your best. The ambassador is about to come here to do some maintenance on his sail boat. I think he might be out there right now. Well, when he first arrived to take his new post, we were concerned about whether or not he was an Imperial spy.

One can't help but wonder, right? He's always coming here, so we thought he was checking this place out.

But as I got to know him, I started to realize he's not like that at all.

I don't know what the Empire's intentions are, but I'm sure his intentions are different. He was always a good guy, but where is he now? Could he have gone to prepare for war? Sir Lyude, what in the world just happened?

Heaven forbid, will there be a war between Diadem and the Empire?! Sir Lyude, please do something! Peculiar winds have been heard howling in the Shrine of the Winds.

I didn't believe it at first, so I dropped by to have a listen.

It used to sound like "whoosh, whoosh," but this time it sounded more like "whoooosh, whoooosh."

There must be something out there. Aeons ago, Balgora, the legendary fisherman, drove an oar into the back of the Master of the Greater Celestial River.

The crazy thing is that a fisherman recently claimed to have seen that oar.

Which means, the Master of the Greater Celestial River is back. Do you think that story's credible?

If the Master is really out there, we can't just sit around like this. I'm gonna take it down. This village is very nice... There's a vast sea of clouds, and the villagers give their best every day to make an honest living...

They live every day with pride—for their village and for their way of life.

I wonder how they do it. I always like coming here. What? If you have nothing to say, just go away. And make sure you don't touch my boat!

Strangers always bring bad luck. It's been like that for ages.

Letting you on my boat is totally out of the question. I don't even want you near it.

Our catch is bad enough even without your bad luck. Your presence would only make it worse. No offense, but not now. Just go away. It was you, wasn't it? I don't know what happened, but you must've done something to the Lesser Celestial River, didn't you?

When the Imperial soldiers came here, we knew they would bring us bad luck. We've always believed that outsiders bring bad luck to our village.

But you didn't bring us any bad luck at all. On the contrary, we can all go fishing again, thanks to you! We've got a big catch! Just look in the warehouse!

It's full of freshly caught sea bream! I've seen it. I've seen the oar of the legendary fisherman, Balgora. It was definitely Balgora's Paddle. No doubt about it!

That means the Master has returned to the Greater Celestial River, right? Am I right? This is the port of Nashira—supposedly the most active part of the village...

...But the fish are gone, so it's been kinda quiet... This is the port of Nashira—supposedly the most active part of the village, but...

Because of the Imperial soldiers, everyone has either gone home or to the pub. Anna? Not sure where she is. Now that you mention it, maybe she's already left the pub. This village is slowly coming back to life. The fish are back, which means fishing is back, too!

This is the port of Nashira. I feel it's going to be the most active part of the village soon! The village is slowly coming back to life, but a lot of strange things have been happening lately.

The Shrine of the Winds is one of them. Everyone says the sound of the wind there is different now.

I think they're just imagining things, though. A fisherman said he saw the Master of the Greater Celestial River, and now that's all the fishermen are talking about.

A rumor that the ancient god has come back to life is big news, but a rumor that the Master of the Greater Celestial River has returned has far more impact in this village. You know, sometimes curiosity overcomes fear. As dangerous as the Master is, we can't help but to be interested in the anecdotes. The Lesser Celestial River has flooded and we can't catch fish. Why do bad things always happen in groups?

And there's nothing we can do to make it better. How can things get any worse? The river has flooded over, a poor catch, and now a visit from the evil Empire.

This is just too much. Hey, it's okay to be happy that the fish are back, but we really mustn't forget about the Empire.

I heard times were tough back there in Sheliak. But I'm even more worried about what will happen from now on. Hey, it's okay to be happy that the fish are back, but life still isn't that peachy.

We shouldn't celebrate yet. I see some terrible times ahead. See? While we were sitting around on our duffs, the world has become more dangerous.

The monsters have gotten too close to the village. What in the world are we going to do? Shut up. We don't talk with barbarians! Go away. ... No one's to use boats without permission. This village is now under Imperial control! This place smells so fishy, I can't believe humans can still survive here! You see my newest weapon? It kills in less than a second. So get back inside the village! So much for the "Nation of Knights," huh? Diadem only has a bunch of cowards.

As things stand, the unit that just left for Sheliak should have no problems getting things done. Should we go to the Lesser Celestial River, ? Sure, let's go. Not quite yet. It's a statue of a sea bream. Fishermen pray to this statue for a good catch. It's a big container with some traces of rust. Scale Shield Fire Burst Lv 2 Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeeeeak. Squ-squeak. Squeak. Hey, why don't we go say "hi" to Anna?

I wanna make sure that she's okay, at least. All right? Look at that! ...!

His uniform...Do you think? Yeah. Can't say for sure from here, but it looks like an Imperial uniform.

The boat nearby must be an Imperial issue, too. That's 's sailboat, if you're wondering! A brand-new Imperial model! Pretty cool, ain't it? This of yours... Is he from the Empire? Yup.

He's pretty important, ya know? An Ambassador from the Empire. Awesome, huh? Hmmm... From the Empire, huh?

I hope he's not looking for us. They couldn't be that quick.

But we better be careful. Huh? You outlaws, or somethin'? Bein' chased by the Empire? Sorry? No, no way. What gave you that idea?

It's just that... We're not on very good terms with Imperial soldiers. Nothing serious. Hmmm...

Well, the girl behind ya doesn't look like a bad person at all... Don't know about you, though.

See ya! Er...bye, thank you. Let's go, . Huh? Something's not right here. Imperial soldiers?! Hey, what's going on? Imperial Soldier You're all villagers, right? Get back to the village on the double! You talkin' to me?! Easy there, kid.

Let's just do what they say...for now. No one is allowed to enter or leave this premises.

Just do as your told, and things will go fine. Knight ...There's too many! Looks like you're in quite a jam. I'll get ya unstuck. ! Am I glad to see you!! Everyone all right? None of us were seriously wounded, thanks to you.

How are the other nations doing? Are the leaders safe?

We've been attacked from time to time by a few monsters. Nothing serious, but everyone's fatigued.

The number of injured continues to rise. Yeah, I know. We're trying to find a way to fight back... I see... Well, good luck to you.

We'll be counting on you back here, and trying to hold our own. All right. By the way.... There's something I've always wanted to ask you.

If I don't ask you now, I may never have a chance. Hmm. What is it? Erm, well...why did you leave us? The Knights, I mean.

You'd have made a fine Head Knight...

Besides, you still fight as well as ever.

I heard you're using your skills to face the minions of the evil god. So you were a Knight? He was.

Gibari's father instructed King Ladekahn in swordfighting. I remember you taking fencing lessons with the King, as a child.

You were second to none with the blade, even back then. We were all so... That was a long time ago. I just left, no big reason...

Besides, I'm not cut out to be a leader. ...So you say.

Well, anyway, when this battle for the world is all over, let's have a drink at the Moondragon Lyre.

Until then, take care. You too, fellas. Protect the village. Right. You can count on us. Hey ...was there really a reason you left the Knights? , how old are you? Me? I'm nineteen. I see... Listen, .

I'm not old enough to go into my life story with a nineteen-year-old.

Knowing what I am, and what I'm going to do, should be enough for you. Sound logical? ...Yeah. Okay.

I understand. Good. Well, I might tell ya someday...

Once this is all over... E0005126 Warehouse:03 Oh, we haven't had many travelers of late—most of them are just here for transit.

They usually head right to Sheliak.

As you can see, there aren't any tourist attractions here, but please make yourselves at home. I'm sorry you've come all the way here, only to see this... I'm a little scared. The barkeep is so tough. If only I had her courage... Fishing will start up soon. Next time you come, I'll treat you to a fresh fish dinner. Look at them! Aren't they great? The color of the Sea Bream's stomach is a work of art. Fishing has finally resumed and the fish are back, but all they ever talk about is that legend.

They're so riled up about it that the catch is actually going down. *sigh* Welcome, travelers. This is Nashira, the fishing village.

Looks like you came from Sadal Suud on the liner... You crossed the Empire, didn't you?

Hahaha, you don't need to hide it. A report came in from the docks saying "be wary of travelers." Hahaha, don't worry. We won't turn you over to the Empire.

Our nation used to be on bad terms with the Empire. But now we have no major conflicts with them.

But we also have no intention of helping them.

I don't know what you did to rile up the Empire, but if they're after you, you better be extra careful. That was a great jump. Real men should be able to jump from that height easily.

We've been told to be wary of strangers. But I have no intention of turning you over to the Empire. At first I'd thought you folks had done something, but it doesn't look like that anymore.

I could be wrong, but I just saw another riot squad heading for the castle. It's those kind of things that make us distrust the Empire. That was a great jump. Real men should be able to jump from that height easily. Hahaha, that's the Anna I know. You don't handle rough fisherman every day just for show.

That Imperial soldier was shaken up pretty bad. The unit that was headed for the castle was different from the one that came to this village. That unit was equipped for war!

How's Elnath? Is Sheliak okay? What happened to King Ladekahn? What in hellfire is the Empire thinking?? I heard that order has been restored at Elnath.

That was such a terrible thing to do. Starting a war...What were they thinking?? There's an interesting story going around that has all the villagers thinking.

The Master of the Greater Celestial River has supposedly reappeared. I'm still skeptical, but if this is true, it's surely an important event. We, the people of Nashira, have been fishing to sustain ourselves for as long as I can remember.

Bringing in the day's catch, going home, eating what my wife makes for me...

Day in, day out, same routine, different day. It may seem like a boring life to you, but for us, it's called peace.

The people of Nashira are a part of Diadem's mighty kingdom.

I'll take that pride with me when I go fishing tomorrow, and it will be with me when I go home. But now we've been suffering poor catches, and come home with no fish and no pride. Look at this empty warehouse. So the Imperials are here, are they? What can they do? We're not afraid of them.

As long as we stand proud, we don't need to fear the Imperials. Besides, if they keep carrying on like that, the Knights of Elnath will never let them get away with it. Don't worry about what's going on down there, it's just the Imperials. Just ignore them. It's started again! We're going to get a healthy catch. We're going to fill this warehouse again, hahaha!! See? Like I told you, the warehouse is full of sea bream, isn't it?

This is it. This is Nashira's fishermen at their best! Hahaha!! Can we still go fishing peacefully, you ask?

Idiot! Don't make me say this again.

That's what we do! We've been having poor catches lately.

At this time of the season, schools of sea bream were supposed to have come down from the Lesser Celestial River in the sea of clouds already.

If this keeps up, we're all gonna starve! Something's wrong this year. In all the time I've been a fisherman, nothing like this has ever happened. As you can see, the port's been blocked by the Empire. Well, even if it wasn't blocked, we wouldn't have been able to catch anything anyway in this dead calm. We don't want Imperials, we want sea bream! Oh, you should've seen Anna yelling at that Imperial soldier! She was more frightening than the Empire. As you can see, the port's been blocked by the Empire.

We won't be able to fish even if the sea bream return. Umm, we're happy we can fish now, but something's making me feel uneasy.

The fish are back, but I kinda feel like something bad is still gonna happen... The fish are back, which is good. But what's up with all the monsters out there?

I didn't ask them to come. I thought something bad was gonna happen, but I didn't think THIS would happen. What's happening to the world? This place is a...a fish warehouse! When they catch fish, they store them here!!

But it's empty now... They're saying that nobody can catch fish anymore... A lot of soldiers came. They told me not to play around here.

They're so full of themselves. The Knights of Elnath are stronger, right? A soldier scolded me... He yelled, "Don't play around here, kid!"

I was so scared and almost cried, but Auntie Anna helped me. Daddy said that now that the soldiers are gone, the fishes will come back.

But to be honest, I don't really like fishes that much. They got scary eyes. Fishes are...scary... Their eyes!! Their eyes are weird!! I heard there's a great big fish in the Greater Celestial River.

It's eyes are even bigger than those of regular fish. Imperial Soldier I think we're being too easy on them. It's like I always say, use brute power to make 'em cower! Don't think we're afraid of taking you down. We just don't want to dirty our hands.

Don't forget that we can take you down whenever we want. Woman with a Bracelet Hello...Do I...know you? I'm sorry...but, are you a friend of my husband's?

My husband went on a picnic at the Cloud Passage with our sons.

I think they'll be back soon. If you're in a hurry, you might be able to catch them at the Cloud Passage. If you find my husband, could you please tell him to come home soon? Thank you. Hm? I'm Quzman's daughter, Maymun. My father is in critical condition??

Okay, I'll go back to my hometown right away. So do I just sign the Family Tree? Maymun Oh, could you please tell my husband that I have to go to my hometown? Hmm? Don't you need my signature? Or were you just playing with my head? My father is pretty old now. I wonder if I'll make it in time. Could you please tell my husband and sons what happened? When we were young, a ritual required one to jump from there to be recognized as a man.

The practice has been prohibited because it was too dangerous. But I feel now that it's prohibited, young people lack the courage they once had. Wow! You did it! That was a beauuutiful jump!! Now you're a real man!

You're great! I'd like to give you this—it's a special type of salt. That was a beauuutiful jump!! You remind me of my younger days.

Oh, you couldn't take it last time because you had too many items, right? Please take it this time. You got Rock Salt. You can't jump anymore because Sea Bream are at the bottom. I'm not planning to, !!! There's no way I can jump! Freshly caught sea bream are piled high. There's a sinker on the roof rack. It must be used for fishing. It's a beautiful white pot with an orange line. Pine Tree This is salt made in Nashira. It's stored in bags and stacked up high. These are water pitchers. A very simple, yet heart-warming design. Fire Yell Lv 1 These earthenware pots are filled with salty water. This beautiful white pottery is adorned with a red stripe. Freshly caught Sea Bream with rainbow-colored scales are piled up high. Anna Hey, it's you two...and . You okay, Anna? They didn't hurt you or anything, did they? I'm just fine.

I just came over here to pick up some booze. We were running low.

Why would I be hurt? Well, we heard some shouting, so... Oh, it's nothing. Those Imperial soldiers are so arrogant.

I just had a little talk with them... No big deal.

What happened to you guys? Couldn't get to the castle? Nope.

When we came back from the river, this place was crawling with soldiers.

They won't let us leave the village. We heard there's a secret passage in the pub, so we wanted to find you and ask about it. I see...

If that's what you need, I'm the one to help you. Thanks, Anna. Thank you so much. No problem.

I'll go back and open it up for you. Meet me back at the pub when you're ready to leave, okay? Got it. E000512D House 1:04 Old Fortune Teller Once, long, long ago... When the world still had an ocean...

People did not have any wings. They lived on the wide, wide land.

The ocean was a huge pool, so large and so deep...

that it would have swallowed this entire nation. Within the ocean, an enormous fish called a "whale" would roam about freely.

The whale was as old as the world itself...

It was always singing mysterious, yet gentle, heart-warming songs. Where did the ocean go? What happened to the whale? An evil god appeared, and swallowed the entire ocean... Every last drop of it...

He swallowed the whale, too, and it was never seen again.

Remember this name, never forget... The name of the god was Malpercio...

Malpercio sucked up the entire ocean, but choked and drowned in the very water he swallowed. The whale, however, will always be with us...It lives on in our hearts.

Close your eyes, and listen... You can hear the whale's songs. Even today...

The ocean will return some day...

Until then, the whale will be waiting. Waiting patiently...

That's all I can tell you now. Excuse me, I... Words can bring mischief.

Confide not in those yet to be proven worthy of trust... ... I'll...keep that in mind. Spare us the fortune telling. I'd like to hear more about this evil god.

About Malpercio, swallowing the ocean... It is but a tale, young one. I know little about it myself. Sheesh! We should head for the castle now. She said Malpercio... Ma'am, that story... Old Fortune Teller It's just an old story. I don't know much about it. There's some commotion outside...the Empire has made a move. We must stay alert. I don't know anything. Aren't you in a hurry? You should go now. ... Hey, you should listen to this, too. She's gonna tell a story! A big...um...puddle. Uhh...what was it called again?

Oh yeah! The Ocean! I wanna see it. *sigh* I wanna go play outside. I promised my sister we would play whales. Finally the soldiers are gone. But now the fishing is gonna start, so they want me to stay and help. Rats. I haven't seen the old fortune teller lately. I wanna hear her story again. Which do you think is bigger, the big fish in the Greater Celestial River or a whale? I wanna see both at least once. Hurryyyyyyy! I wanna hear your story. So wasn't the whale that was swallowed up scared? So does it still sing it's tender song after it's been swallowed?

Hmmm. If it was me, I would have cried... I want to go play outside. I'll be the whale and I'll sing the song. I like to help. If they catch a lot of fish, they look so happy. They're catching a lot of fish. But I heard they're not very good.

The fish have gotten smaller because a lot of bad creatures have come here.

Maybe fishes are sensitive. The uh...Mal-wachamuh-thingy might be revived and the fish might die. At least that's what I heard.

I don't care as long as the whale is okay. The whale's not a fish, right? Greythorne Squeak squeak. Meemai Squ-squeak. It's a soft bed that's just been cleaned and dried. An enormous fishhook. It's probably only used for decoration. It's a wooden fish box, painted with vermilion lacquer. It's worn but still good. Carina Looks like the water stored in this barrel has been used in the house for a couple of days now. Catranne Remember this name, never forget... The name of the god was Malpercio...

Malpercio sucked up the entire ocean, but choked and drowned in the very water he swallowed. E0005134 House 2:05 Time flies—it's already been a year since I started living with him.

When I went fishing with my husband, the weather turned treacherous and I lost my son and daughter-in-law.

I thought about going after them, but I still had him...so I couldn't risk my life and leave him behind. Just an old lady and a child living in this house. But the Imperial soldiers came in and checked things out anyway.

Shorty was terribly frightened. I mean, what kind of people go around scaring little children?! What I'm worried about now is my age. I don't know how much longer I can take care of him.

I must live for another ten years at least. I can't bear to imagine what would happen to him... Since the Imperial soldiers have left and fishing has resumed, the village has regained its former vitality.

Shorty's already six years old. His parents were killed in the storm, when he was just a little boy...

Maybe I'll ask Reblys to teach him how to fish. Shorty snuck out of the village to play one day, and he was attacked by a monster!

Please, please, you've got to help him!!! Thank you, thank you. Shorty is all I have left in the world. Thank you so very much. My mommy, my daddy, and my grandpa died a year ago.

So I have to protect my grandma now. Don't you think I'm great? Hehehehe. The Imperials came into my house acting all proud and tough.

I wanted to protect my grandma, but I couldn't 'cause I'm too small. My grandma worries too much about me. She scolds me the minute I do something dangerous.

I'm not gonna be a kid forever. I just want her to trust me a little more. The Imperial soldiers are gone and fishing has started up. All the good things are happening again!

I'm already six years old, but the old man living next door was six when he first went fishing!

I can't wait!! When can I go fishing? Ohh...No more... Thank you! You're the ones who got Pekusa seaweed for me, right? I've gotten better, thanks to you!

I'll give you the next big fish I catch, I promise! The bed looks clean. Not a wrinkle in sight. Feathered Hat Bottles of expensive looking liquor are sitting on the hammock. Shorty's Grandmother ! You're a sight for sore eyes!

Please, go help Anna and Reblys! What happened?! Shorty wandered outside the village to play, while I wasn't looking.

He was attacked and infected by a monster. His fever hasn't broken... The doctor said Shorty may not make it if the fever doesn't break soon...

I can't bear to think of losing my Shorty, he's the only family I have left in this world! I gotcha. Just take it easy.

What about Anna and Reblys? ...They went to the Greater Celestial River... What?! That place is dangerous! They went to gather Pekusa seaweed... Ah, I get it. That stuff is great for a fever.

But...doesn't anyone around here have some? Our food and medicine supplies have severely depleted in this long, drawn out battle. I see... Should have thought of that.

So Reblys volunteered to go pick the seaweed. No, from what I heard, Anna rushed off alone...

Reblys heard of this, and ran off after her... ...I should've known. Just Anna being Anna. How long have they been gone? About an hour or so. Okay. Leave this to me.

You look after Shorty.

Hey, don't worry, okay? We'll pick up both them and the seaweed, and be back in no time. Please, ! I'm counting on you! I'm on my way. Okay. Let's head for the Greater Celestial River. It's north of here.

Might behoove us to have a look at the river's Master, while we're there. Oh...the fever has gone down... Thank you all so much! If it weren't for you...my Shorty may have... I can't thank you enough. Anna It was our pleasure, Granny. Shorty means so much to us. Reblys Well, you know. I feel it's my duty to help our fellow villagers when they're in need. Oh, give me a break. You just went after Anna... Did you say something? Maybe. Anyway, we should be getting back.

The village looks like it's doing fine, and this is no time for us to be loungin' around. Hey, Gibari! Huh? What is it? Balgora's Paddle. It was lodged in the back of today's catch. Take it. ?! Are you sure you wanna part with this? It's fine.

You need the best gear available if you ever wanna beat me. Geez, give me a break! Heh, give yourself a break! Right then. Courtesy of Sir Reblys. Thanks, buddy. Balgora's Paddle Well, it's time to get movin'! ! Be careful, okay? Don't get yourself killed out there! E000513B Pub:06 Barkeep Hi there.

Well, well. You two are new around here, aren't you? Anna I'm Anna, owner of this humble establishment.

Did you come in on the liner today? Yeah. Then you must be from Sadal Suud. That's quite a trip. Welcome to Nashira.

There isn't much to see here, but it's a great place to relax. Actually, we don't have time to relax.

We've got some business to take care of in the city. It's kind of urgent. Oh, really?

You're out of luck, then. As you may have heard, the Lesser Celestial River is flooded. The road to the city has been cut off.

The river rarely floods over.

It's one of those freak things that hits once in a blue moon. If the road's cut off, maybe we could get there by boat.

When does the next ship leave for the city? Hate to say this, but there is no regular ship to the city.

You'll have to ask one of the fishermen to ferry you over...

But it might not be easy.

They don't like taking strangers on their ships...

Besides, everyone's been pretty jumpy with the poor catch and all. Do you know anyone who would be willing to help us?

We need to get to the capital as soon as possible.

We'll pay for the ride, though we can't offer much... So you're in a hurry, huh?

Let's see... You could ask .

He, if anyone, might agree to help. ? Where would we find him? He hasn't stopped by today. He should be along soon enough though.

Why don't you check back later... Or you could stick around and have a drink. *chuckle* Thanks, but no thanks.

We'll stop by later and see if he's here. Ah, it's you again.

hasn't shown up yet. He should be here by now... Man You two... You lookin' for ? Whad'ya want him for? Nothing serious. We're just looking for a ride to the city.

Who are you? Reblys The name's Reblys. You could say I'm the head fisherman in this village.

You're outta luck, kids. No one here takes strangers on their boats. Cut it out, Reblys. Leave the travelers alone. Humph. Leave them alone?

The catch is poor and the wind is almost dead.

These are hard times, Anna.

The last thing we need is strangers scaring away the fish.

Ferrying strangers goes against our village rules. Rules we've held on to for generations.

, that lug...he ignores those rules. Laughs at them, says we're just superstitious.

That lug always has to do things his own way, by his own rules. He's just a big pain in the neck! Ain't that so, boys? Damn right! I say you forget about going to the city. Take the liner back home to your mommy! What was that?! Or you could wait your life away for the river to calm down, and take the road. Hear, hear! It's your choice...go home, or wait forever. I came here to see Gibari.

I'm not asking any of you to take us. You just don't get it, do you kid?

If talk ain't workin', maybe roughin' you up a bit will help it sink in. Hold it, there. So, these two are here to see me, hmm? ! Reblys, you got somethin' to say, you come to me. We can discuss it peacefully. Ha! Don't take it personally.

It's the poor catch. And the wind. Been puttin' them on edge. It's okay.

You must be , then. Right.

What can I do for ya? We need a boat ride into the city. To Sheliak?

I see. The Cloud Passage being cut off and all. Please! We must hurry! It's very important! You sound pretty desperate.

Anyway, you came at the right time. Why don't you help me out? I'm going over to take a look at the Lesser Celestial River.

It's on the way to the city. I'm curious as to what's causin' it to flood over.

None of the others have enough guts to go out there. Just the three of us? Yup.

Don't you worry. Three's a crowd. We'll be fine.

The young lady here looks much more trustworthy than the slackers I know.

What do you say? I don't know how much help we'll be, but we'll do what we can. Great. Now we're talking.

If whatever's causing this flood is too much to handle,

we can leave it alone and I'll take ya straight to the city. What do you think, ? Let's do it. Let's turn him down. Okay... If you say so. Wake up, !

We could be stuck here forever unless this guy helps us, you know. Huh? What are you mumbling about? I wasn't mumbling. I was talking to , my Guardian Spirit. So there's a spirit with you, huh? A being from another world, bound to your soul?

Thought that was just an old folk tale. Believe it or not...

I don't care. Anyway, let's go have a look at that "Little Celestial River." I'm . And I am . Nice meeting ya both, , . And...What's your spirit called? . , huh? That's a weird name. Well then, , nice meeting ya, too. Nice to meet you, too. Ignore him. Hmm. Dunno why, but it feels like I'm talkin' to the wall... Humph. Never mind. Okay, off we go to the harbor.

We'll take my boat to the river. What on earth is happening here, Reblys? Dunno. They just came outta nowhere... Are they after us? That can't be.

Why would they go to such lengths just to catch the two of us? ...Wait a minute. You're wanted by the Empire? Well...We're just...You know. ... ...Never mind. I suppose it's better not to know.

Besides, they can't be looking for you. What makes you say that? Some of us saw another squadron of soldiers flying towards the castle.

It looked much larger than the squadron we have here.

Whatever they're looking for, it must be at the castle. Hmmm... I have a bad feeling about this...

What sort of trouble could they be trying to start? It's already started.

Geldoblame's ambitions are ravaging the world... Anyway... I'm going to the castle. , you're coming, too, right? Of course. Let's hurry. Hold on there.

You can count me in, too.

Don't feel like losin' sleep over what happens to you two. But... No "buts" about it. I promised to take you to the castle, remember?

Besides, I'm itchin' to find out what the Empire's up to. Getting there might be a problem, though.

They're watching the harbor, it won't be easy getting to my boat. We'll walk then.

Now that the Lesser Celestial River has calmed down, the road to the castle should be open. True. But how do you plan on leaving the village?

They've got the exits guarded.

They won't exactly usher us out with a smile and a handshake, you know. Hmmm... A while back, Anna told me, there's a secret passage somewhere in this bar that'll take you out of the village.

I guess they dug it for emergencies.

She never told me exactly where the entrance is, though.

You'll have to ask her yourself... Where is Anna, anyway? Well, uh...you see...I uh... I kinda lost track of her. "Kinda lost track of her?" So much for countin' on you to look after her, huh? S...sorry. Never mind. Let's go find her. , , you two come with me. Here's the entrance. Thanks, Anna. Reblys, watch over the village, okay? Relax, Gibari. We'll manage here. I'm more worried about what's goin' on at the city. Be careful. King Ladekahn of Castle Elnath used to be called "The White Flame."

He did a lot of reckless things in his youth, but he's matured a great deal, and has become a great king.

If I was a little younger, I would definitely try to get to know him better. You kind of remind me of him in his younger days. Well, his reckless days, that is. Ha ha ha. The Empire is acting so arrogant. But don't worry. I'm sure King Ladekahn won't let them get away with it. You can't find Anna? I don't know where she is either. Why would I know where she is? What?! The king has been wounded? Those Imperial dogs are trying to make a fool of the White Flame, are they?

I'll make them pay next time they come. Attacking King Ladekahn calls for capital punishment! I'll make them pay next time they come. Attacking King Ladekahn calls for capital punishment! How bad was the king wounded? Well, I know it can't be critical. I know he won't die.

But it's...it's simply unacceptable that King Ladekahn should even have to suffer the slightest of inconveniences. The White Flame of Diadem has stood up for what's right!

He may be up against that ancient god or whatever, but the king will come out on top! The Empire already came to Sadal Suud? I heard an Imperial ship was in Pherkad.

That means they may come to this nation soon. Well, whatever happens, I don't really care.

But the old folks don't like the Empire very much.

To be honest, our generation doesn't worry too much about those kinds of things. We have King Ladekahn on the throne and reliable knights standing guard.

The Empire wouldn't dare start anything! What's all that noise outside? What happened to the knights? What happened to King Ladekahn?

So it's true that the Imperials are a nasty bunch! The old folks were right. I can't say that I'm not worried about the Empire. Elnath was attacked already, right?

I'll go to Sheliak to join the knights. I wanna help defend our nation. I'll go to Sheliak to join the knights. I wanna help defend our nation.

Well, that's what I was going to do. But something urgent has just come up. I really did want to join!

It's not like I'm afraid of fighting monsters or anything. It's just that I really had something important to do. What a pity... I actually went to Sheliak to join the knights.

But when I was watching Sheliak's knights, I realized that I was taking the the whole situation too lightly.

They're risking their lives fighting. I'd only be a burden to them.

Now I know what fighting is really all about... The Lesser Celestial River is flooded. As a result, you cannot pass through to the castle town.

What's the Lesser Celestial River, you say? Oh, you're travelers. Then you should go and see it for yourselves.

The Lesser Celestial River does not flood very often. I think you are very lucky to see it!

It will show you how helpless we humans are in the face of Mother Nature. Oh, natural catastrophes are scary, but so is the Empire. That was something we learned the hard way. I heard it was horrible in the castle. I felt safe here because I knew they couldn't harm us.

But I heard that many people died out there. I need to check it out for myself... The castle sustained heavy damage. I wonder how much time and manpower is required to rebuild it.

Since it's our castle, we have to do something about it. I bet everyone feels the same. Elnath has been restored—now we must do something about rest of the world.

It's not only our nation that needs protection. The Lesser Celestial River has flooded over? How frightening!

I can't stand natural catastrophes...One can't help but feel helpless against them.

It's not only that...I feel like the flooding is a bad omen. I hope something even worse doesn't happen...

In times like these, I can't help but drink. Did you see the cold looks on those Imperial soldiers' faces? Maybe human malice is much more frightening than mother nature.

I've had trouble sleeping ever since I first saw those soldiers. Ohh...I can't help but drink now. Ahh, I feel refreshed. The Lesser Celestial River has subsided and the Imperial soldiers are gone.

Looks like I finally have peace of mind. I thought everything's over and done with, but now a strange crack has emerged in the Shrine of the Winds.

I heard the air looks like it's torn in two and no one can get any closer because they're all afraid. Now I can't help but drink. Horrible things are happening one after the other.

This time, it's the revival of an ancient god! I can't help but drink!!

...Oh my, the liquor is gone! But I'm telling you, I need another drink!! Oh, you're very thoughtful. You know I can't help but drink.

Take this in return for your kindness. It's a token of my gratitude. Secret Recipe 9 Oh no. What a mess. Looks like my route to Sheliak is blocked.

It'd sure be nice if the water subsides soon. I can't swim through the rapids while carrying these bags. This is a disaster. We can't even leave our own village. Come to think of it, I rarely leave this pub, so it won't effect me much.

But I hope those soldiers get outta town soon. Our fishing poles and hooks are no match for Imperial weaponry. Looks like in the confusion, the Lesser Celestial River has subsided. I guess I can go to sell my wares in the castle town now.

I heard Sheliak got damaged pretty badly. I don't mean to take advantage of anyone, but now's the perfect time to make some money. Did you hear the rumor in Sheliak? Supposedly something major is happening at the Shrine of the Winds.

This will surely draw in a lot of curious people. I don't mean to take advantage of them, but this is the opportunity of a lifetime. Things haven't sold well lately. Well, in times like this, there are more important things than shopping.

Do you know any good stories? Stories that no one knows, like "Secret Information" or something? Oh! I see!! I see!! I didn't know that. That's quite a secret!

That means if I invest in it now, I'll be able to make bundles of money later!

Thank you. Looks like you're gonna make me a rich man.

Here's a cut of my future profits. Well, I mean, a fee for the information. Creel of the Whale Oh, what a handsome young man. So much different from the men in this village...Make yourself at home, cutey. I'm sick and tired of the men here. They're rough, blunt, and stink like fish.

I guess I'll have to go to Sheliak to find myself a good man. The Imperials look nice—they're so different from the filth here. I want them to take me away somewhere...anywhere! Anna said she was going to get some supplies and went to the warehouse. That was just before you got back.

No one can leave the village, so all they do is drink... *sigh* The Imperials are gone. Now I'm back to handling this bunch again. I'm bored with regular guys for some reason. I want a more exotic type of guy.

Isn't there a good man anywhere? After all, it isn't easy finding a good man.

But in the end, it really just comes down to one thing: m-o-n-e-y. That's it.

If you have money, you're good-to-go. Let's give her money. Slap her! Why don't you give her some money? Slap her! Oh, you're giving me money?

Heeheehee, that's so nice of you, but I was just joking about wanting money.

What use is money when the world is no more?

But if you insist, I can't help but accept your offer, heeheehee. She took %d Gold away!! Ouch!!

...

Lighten up, I was just joking, you know...

I've finally realized...

...Do you really think I would say that?! What do you think you're doing?! Look!! I've got a bruise now!!

I'll never forgive you, unless you give me... compensation!! Compensation!! hasn't shown up yet. He should be here by now.

Try coming back a little later. Sorry guys, Reblys and the others don't mean any harm.

, you of all people should know that! You know Reblys well.

Anyway, if you're going with , please take care of him.

He's such a stupid, rough, and thoughtless man. Whoa whoa, that's harsh, Anna. ...Umm, I'm no match for you.

It's no joke that the river has flooded. It's dangerous, so be careful, okay? ...all of you... Be careful, okay? I know, this time it's gonna be long, right? Don't worry about us, just go.

Reblys and I will take care of the village. You just do what you think is right. I'm not worried. Well, I'll be back before ya know it. I'll leave the village to you. Yeah, you be careful. , looks like you got yourself involved in something big again...

Well, I guess that's how you are. If you're gonna go, go all the way. I don't see , has something happened to him?

Well, he's not the kind of guy who goes down without a fight, so I'm not worried... I got nothing to say. Except... make things in the world right again.

We're counting on you, ! For us, following customs is very important. We're putting all our strength together and going fishing. I don't think the old customs are as definite as what Reblys and the others say.

But when the village is uneasy like this,

I don't know if it's right for you to have your own way.

You're one of us villagers, aren't you, ? Yeah, I care about the river being flooded because I am one of the villagers.

I care more about that than I care about whether or not I let strangers get on my boat. I heard from the Imperial soldiers that the Lesser Celestial River has subsided.

The flow of the river is back to normal. You guys had something to do with it, right ?

Sometimes sticking to the customs isn't worth the trouble. Thank you... Now that we're not bound by the customs, we can fish freely.

Now we're much more relaxed and can fish more efficiently. It also feels more real. Rumor has it that the paddle belonging to the legendary fisherman, Balgora, has been stuck in the back of the Master of the Greater Celestial River for about a century.

Some people claimed to have seen it recently.

Do you know what this means? It means the Master is back at the Greater Celestial River. Forget about strangers bringing bad luck or the Lesser Celestial River being flooded.

The reality is, we may not be able to feed ourselves soon. It's okay for now, since we still have food in stock.

But if the catches stay this bad, how am I supposed to feed my wife and kids? It must be a lot of trouble for the Imperials. Coming all this way to our fishing village.

I guess times are tough, and they also need to feed their own families. Life is hard. Hey, you've been to the other islands, right?

Is something happening there as well? Maybe the problems are not only confined to nations or islands, but may be spreading to the rest of the world. It's good that we started fishing again, but we keep on getting all these strange fish.

I've been fishing for ages, but have never seen anything like it before.

They're pretty ugly. We don't even know if they're edible.

Maybe the fish have been mutated by the ancient god or something... So did you find what you were looking for when you broke our village custom and left? It's not too late to stop, you know! Sorry, ... I'm sorry this happened on my watch...

Anna is the only one who knows about the secret path that leads outside the village.

Please go and find Anna, . Don't worry about the village. I'm more worried about the castle town. I'm counting on you, . The fish are back. , your selfishness somehow made things better... Didn't I tell you? I'm not very good at debates... I just did what I could do. Yeah, I know...

Thank you, . You're gonna keep getting yourself involved in these incidents, aren't you, ? Be careful. Be careful. Once you get caught up in 's plans, he won't let you go. I don't see Gibari. Did something happen to him?

Actually, why am I worrying? That cat's got nine lives. So what condition is Balgora's Paddle in?

With that thing, you might even be a match for me.

You take good care of it, okay? Hmm? Are you sure? So if I say what's written here, it will work? All right, I believe you!! Whether business in this world is good or bad, it makes no difference whatsoever.

The pickup line you gave me—it worked so well!! I owe it all to you!

Well, here's a token of my appreciation. It's not much, but please take it. Shako Hmm, no matter what happens to the world, my conscience is clear!! I don't have any worries! Whether business in this world is good or bad, it makes no difference whatsoever.

The pickup line you gave me—it didn't work on the girl...Is it because I'm not attractive enough? Whether business in this world is good or bad, it makes no difference whatsoever.

How am I supposed to profess my love to my dear...Oh no, I'm not confident at all. Okay, I'm pumped now!! I feel that this time, I can successfully profess my love! Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeak squeak. Squeeeeak. Mountain Apple Wine is in the barrel. The lid of the barrel is open, but it's not good to steal. There's something in the barrel. Shortcake (Small) There's nothing left in the barrel. E0005142 House 3:07 You know, young man, that fellow is an Imperial spy. Grandpa! What are you saying?! Sir is a great person! You say bad things about him just because he's from the Empire. Shut up! He's a spy!! If "spy" is not the right word, then he's a secret agent! Or an informer! *sigh* They're all the same. Oh, sorry for making you watch this silly drama.

There are a lot of people in my grandpa's generation who think badly of the Empire.

That's why he's saying the ambassador to the Empire, Sir , is a spy. All the Imperials are lying scum. I will not be deceived. Look at the Imperials outside! That kid must have guided the Empire's men in! Anna is missing? ...Who's Anna?

The barkeep?? Ohh, that tomboy. I don't know anything about her whereabouts! That Imperial boot-licker, what did he do to this village? Where is he hiding? I'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget! Ah, you! You led those Imperials into my village! If it wasn't you, then why are there Imperial soldiers in our town?! Cut it out. He's not like that. I can guarantee that. I understand. Under the circumstances, it's no wonder he doesn't believe me... I don't even believe myself. Sir, I won't ask you to trust me. But please give me some more time. ... What is it? I have nothing to discuss with the likes of you.

Yeah I'm a bigot, so what? I have a right to think whatever I want! That kid next door has a high fever after being attacked by a monster.

I heard that Pekusa seaweed can heal him...But it's too dangerous to get. The kid next door seems to have gotten better. Good, good.

You people got Pekusa seaweed for him, didn't you? Thank you. The world is about to be engulfed in complete chaos.

But I hear that some people are actually trying to do something about it.

I'm just an old bag of bones. But I have no intention to kiss and make up with the Imperials.

But you're different. I'm supporting you. Good luck, . Have you seen the ambassador already? He's a real gentleman.

He's also very kind. I wish he could stay longer. When my grandpa got sick and couldn't get out of bed, Sir took good care of us.

He went to the trouble of importing rare medication for him. But still, my grandpa didn't show much appreciation...

Current relations between Diadem and the Empire are good, but back in the old days they were bad.

I guess he still holds on to those feelings. It's kinda sad... Bad relations...I really wonder what happened... Why are there Imperial soldiers in this village? No...Sir couldn't have... You're looking for Anna? She's not here. Hmm, actually I'm not sure where she is, either... Sir has a very strong sense of responsibility—he always stays cool in public. I'm sorry, Sir . It's something that an old man says, so please don't take it personally. I'm sorry. It's something that an old man says, so please don't take it personally.

But I can see he's starting to trust you. He's not very good at showing his emotions. The kid next door was attacked by a monster and is in critical condition. I'm so worried.

I heard that Pekusa seaweed will be able to heal him...But it's very dangerous to obtain. The kid next door seems to have gotten better. That's great!

Let me thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much! He always says he's puzzled as to why he never turned his back on his own people. But we understand your sorrows, Grandpa.

Having been ridiculed by your own people,

Now there's no way to get to Sheliak without a boat. The Lesser Celestial River has flooded over. It's impossible to get through in these conditions. E0005181 The Cloud Passage 2B:03 Man with a Bracelet Ah! Travelers!! Thank God! Please help us!

My sons fell from the Cloud Passage into the river!!

They've spent all their time studying and never learned to swim! Please help them!! There! There they are! They're drowning!! We've got to get them out of that river!!

Ahh! I don't know what to do!! Please, travelers. Save my sons!! Huh? Quzman? I'm his son-in-law, but you know damn well now's not the time to talk about that!

My sons! They need help! They're drowning in the river! Aaahhh! What should I do?! Ahh! Travelers!! How can I ever thank you for saving my sons' lives? We owe our lives to you.

And...you wanted to ask me something... Oh, oh, something is wrong with Quzman. He's in a critical condition?!

He told you to get my signature and wants me to come home? I see. Could you please give me the Family Tree? I'm also going home, so could you give me the Family Tree? I'll sign it for you. I, Qutayba, am also going back home now, so let me sign the Family Tree for you. Qutayba There, that should do it.

Thank you for your help. I'm so overwhelmed with happiness that you've saved my boys. I'm so relieved that I can't even stand up. Ha ha ha!

How pitiful, huh? I'm such a useless father...

I'll go home after I've rested a little while. Really, I'll be fine. Have my sons gone to Quzman's place yet? They shouldn't have any problems finding their way.

My wife's really strict with the boys when it comes to education.

They know nothing about athletics, but they're sure a couple of brainiacs! Boy with a Bracelet I see, so I just write my name in my own slot? So, I'm here? Rustah That should do it, right? Ugh...I'm tired! I'm gonna rest a bit, then go on home. Aaaahhh! I'm drowning! Help!! A kid is drowning! What are we gonna do, ? A kid is drowning. We're going to save him, right ? Let's save him! We won't save him. H-hurry!! I-I'm drowning!!! *gulp*...*gasp*... Thank you. You saved me! The world almost lost a bright young boy. *cough*

And...what was it you wanted? Oh, you're looking for the blood relatives of Grandpa Quzman, huh?

I'm his grandson. So I should just sign my name and go to Grandpa's house?

Okay, lemme see the Family Tree. You...you heartless meany! This wiz kid never forgets a face! Don't you need my signature? Lemme see the Family Tree. You can go ahead. I'll hang out here for a while and go to Grandpa's place later.

Wait, I think my brother, Hisham, also fell in the river. He can't swim at all...

Could you go around the bend and help him out? Please pull him out if he's drowning. If I'd only learned to swim, you wouldn't have had to save me. All boys should learn to swim...

Maybe I'll start working out a little... Well, that's easier said than done, so I probably won't bother. I see. So you want me to write my name in my own slot? Right here, yes? Hisham There you go. Ugh...I'm exhausted. I'm gonna stick around here for a while, then go to Grandpa's place. *gulp*...*gasp*...*gurgle*... H-help! Help!!! H-hurry!! *gurgle*...I'm...dro... *gurgle*...*gurgle*... Thank you. The world was about to lose a boy with a promising future. *cough*

And...what did you need again? Oh, you're looking for the blood relatives of Grandpa Quzman, huh?

I'm his grandson. So I just sign that Family Tree... Here you go. You're leaving me?! You don't leave a drowning kid behind! It's just not right!

I'll never ever forget your face! I'll come back to haunt you! Ummm. You need my signature, right? Can you hand me the Family Tree? You can go ahead of me. I'll rest here for a while, then go to Grandpa's place.

Wait, I think my brother, Rustah, fell in the river. Well, he'll be okay. If only I could swim...aw, shucks, if I could swim better, I wouldn't have needed to be rescued.

I'm not like my brother—I can actually swim. But I didn't feel good today...S-seriously! Hey, hold on! I haven't signed yet. Let me see the Family Tree. Hey! Where are you going? I'm supposed to sign my name, right? Show me the Family Tree. Hmm? Where are you going? I'm supposed to sign my name, right?

These guys don't mess around. I hear you. Why would the Empire bring their elite units out here? How far to the castle? We're almost there. Let's get movin'. -- Sheliak, the Castle Town -- E0005196 Shop:00 Conversation with a store clerk in Sheliak, unprocessed E000519D Outside(Port):01 Shadow Cornet Yeah, let's get going. No, not yet. Yes, let's get going. No, not yet. Imperial Soldier Hey...you there! Get back here! Don't worry pal, we'll just take her for a little whirl. *gulp* *gulp* Ahhhhhh... That hit the spot! Never thought water could taste so good!

Good simpleton. That's all I needed. You can get lost now. What are you staring at? You look like you expect a reward or something.

Fool...I'm an Imperial Soldier! Being in my presence should be rewarding enough. Got it? Now get lost. *gulp* *gulp* Yechhhhhh! What did you give me?! My stomach is churning...

Hey! This is stagnant pond water or somethin'!

Suppose I can't expect much from a simpleton. I won't ask you again. Now get lost. What are you staring at? You look like you're wondering if my stomach has settled.

Fool...I'm an Imperial Soldier! Got it? Now get lost. *gulp* *gulp* Ahhhhhh... That hit the spot! Never thought milk could taste so good!

I guess these farm products aren't so bad after all. That's all I needed. You can get lost now. *gulp* *gulp* Yechhhhhh! This water is salty! My throat is burning!!

You gave me salt water?! I'm thirstier than ever, now!! I won't ask you again. Now get lost. What are you staring at? You look like you wanna tell me salt water is good for gargling.

Fool...I'm an Imperial Soldier! Got it? Now get lost. *gulp* *gulp* Ahhhhhh... This taste! This mellow flavor!

You gave me a nice strong drink. That hit the spot! Not bad for a simpleton. What are you staring at?

You look like you wanna tell me excessive drinking is hazardous to my health.

Fool...I'm an Imperial Soldier! Got it? Now get lost. I know it's my job, but standing around all day really takes its toll on a man.

We don't even have a chance to go get a lousy drink of water!

Hey, you got somethin' to quench my thirst? If that's the case, hand it over! Now! *gulp* *gulp* Yechhhhhh! This water tastes sour!! What the heck is this?!

You had me drink vinegar?! You've got some nerve, offering vinegar to an Imperial soldier. What are you staring at?

You look as if you're surprised I hadn't heard of the health benefits straight vinegar has to offer...

Fool...I'm an Imperial Soldier! Got it? Now get lost. They finally let me out of the house! I was cramped indoors the whole time the Imperial soldiers were here.

It's great to be outside again! I heard Castle Elnath is almost back to normal. All the grown-ups are busy helping out!

Well, it's none of my business, being a kid and all, but I'll do my part when I grow up. *puff* *pant*...Oh, what I'd give for a cold drink.

I'm running about, checking each area for damage!

Please let me through! I'm running about checking for damage, okay?!

I'm in an extreme hurry! Please be a lamb and let me through! *puff* *pant*...Oh, what I'd give for a cold drink.

I'm running about checking for progress on Castle Elnath's restoration efforts!

Please let me through! I'm running about checking progress, okay?! And therefore I'm in an extreme hurry!

Please be a lamb and let me through! Most of Castle Elnath has been restored, now. I'm relieved, to say the least.

Many thanks for your help. Please take this, in celebration of the restoration. Most of Castle Elnath has been restored, now. I'm relieved, to say the least. You got somethin' to quench my thirst? If that's the case, hand it over! Now! Th-thank you very much! I happened to be extremely thirsty!

A knight must return courtesy with courtesy. Please take this. Yechhh...it's salty!

I'm in an extreme hurry! Let me through, now! *gulp* *gulp* *gulp*...Hmm?

But...this is liquor! Th-thank you for your kindness, but I'm on duty now!

You must excuse me. So, shall we board the Mindeer, ? So, shall we ride the White Dragon, ? I have been instructed to assess the damage done to Sheliak.

Compared to the castle, the damage here is minor.

Still, the knights of Diadem must protect the people. It is a duty we cannot neglect. That's enough. I'm finished with you. Get lost! Hmm...there, and there. I can clearly see the damage done.

Still, the knights of Diadem must protect the people. It is a duty we cannot neglect. Phew, it's done. I never thought the restoration effort would go so smoothly.

Although we are knights, we're not void of feeling.

I'm so relieved the castle has returned to its former glory. I'll get a good night's rest tonight. You see a bronze statue of King Ladekahn, the "White Flame" of Diadem. Look, over there. An Imperial boat...

That'll do the trick. Let's take her for a little ride, shall we? What about the guards? Let's wait for an opening, and run for it. Once we're in the boat, we're home free. Easier said than done... You there! You're not from Diadem, are you? You came at a bad time.

I don't care if you're travelers. Stay right where you are. Halt! You've been ordered to stay put! Comply, or face the consequences! The town only suffered light damage, but the castle was hit pretty hard.

We'll do our best to help with the repairs, of course.

They're looking for workers to help restore the castle. It would be great if you could lend a hand. One of the knights from Castle Elnath reported seeing a strange "crack" in the Shrine of the Winds.

I hope this doesn't mean more trouble for us... You're the ones fighting to save the world, aren't you?

From what I've heard, extremely powerful Magnus are lying dormant somewhere in this world.

If you could find them, they may prove useful to your cause. My son hasn't come back yet... We haven't heard much of anything about those wounded...

I just hope he's safe! My son won't be coming back... but I've stopped crying.

We must think about what we can do to prevent further grief among our friends and family. I heard the enemy is a god... Is it even possible for us humans to defeat a god? Castle Elnath, magnificent bastion of clouds, now engulfed in thick, black smoke...

It must be the price paid for underestimating the Empire.

It's as though our pride and our souls have been trampled on. At last, the clouds are clean again—the smoke, gone.

We paid dearly for underestimating the Empire's ambitions... Look at Castle Elnath, with its scarlet shroud of clouds...

I cannot help admiring its beauty. That's what the castle should always look like.

We, the people of Diadem, must do our utmost to never lose the castle's beauty again... The Empire...arrived all of a sudden, then left all of a sudden. Perhaps our knights drove them off.

A single word from one of their messengers at the castle, sent all the soldiers home. The Emperor's plan is flawless. Taking control of this town was almost too easy.

By now, our troops should have assumed control of Castle Elnath. Another one for the Empire! Melodia...I'm quite sure that's her.

Deceiving even the Emperor, claiming the world as her own...

To think that a young girl would have such sinister ambitions... Lately, I've been thinking... that all things happen for a reason.

Both Geldoblame and Melodia must have had their own reasons.

But if so, what reasons could Malpercio have? The rumors about the Empire's technology were true.

So were the stories about their people having done away with their wings.

The strange vehicles they rode on, the power of their weapons...

If the Empire decided to attack us in full force, they'd wipe us out in no time at all. I heard Geldoblame is dead... Could that really be true?

I find it hard to believe that such an overcautious, untrusting Emperor would suddenly die like that... Even with all the Empire's technology, there's little they can do to stop a god.

They put so much effort into creating weapons and machinery...

And all they got for it was their own demise... The soldiers were acting somewhat strange.

It was as if they weren't here to conquer Diadem, but were looking for...something else. I have no idea what's going on anymore...I no longer know who to trust, or who is against us.

All I'm left with is this feeling of anxiety... The strange castle that appeared out of nowhere...

Could that be where the ancient gods reside? I heard they've almost finished fixing up Castle Elnath. The grown-ups are so happy about it!

I'm really happy, too! I'm still just a kid, but being happy like the grown-ups makes me feel a little older. I can finally get out of the house. Mom kept telling me to stay home until they finished fixing the castle.

Dunno why, but she was kinda nervous for awhile.

I guess she calmed down now that the castle's back to normal. She actually said I could go out and play! Can't get away from these blasted clouds! They're everywhere! The sooner this is all over with, the better!

I can't wait to get off this cloud-infested rock and back to our glorious homeland. Everyone's happy now that the castle's almost fixed. So I'm happy, too.

Now we can run around without getting scolded! Yeehoo!!! I can finally get out of the house. Dad kept telling me to stay home until they finished fixing the castle.

Dunno why, but he was kinda edgy for awhile.

I guess he calmed down now that the castle's back to normal. He actually said I could go out and play! Sheliak didn't suffer much damage, but it's times like these that crime tends to run rampant.

The knights of Diadem must stay vigilant. The restoration of Castle Elnath is going well. It is safe to enter now. The restoration of Castle Elnath is almost complete, thanks to help from the townspeople.

The knights of Diadem have never felt such gratitude.

It warms the heart to know that your people are there for you. All's well so far. We managed to take control. Emperor Geldoblame should be pleased. I'm warning ya now, don't try to leave this town. Sheliak is currently under Imperial control.

Stay put if ya know what's good for ya. It was hilarious, the way everyone panicked when we arrived...

Running all over the place like headless chickens!

Oh, how I'm glad I was born a citizen of the glorious Empire!

What better way to show my gratitude than to serve the Emperor? ...

What's the point of this whole operation? Intimidating harmless citizens...

I guess I shouldn't think about it too much. We're acting on orders from Emperor Geldoblame.

There's no way he could be wrong. Going any further is pointless. Our main unit is dealing with Castle Elnath.

Which means we won't be letting you through. Got it? Now get lost. Entrance into Castle Elnath is forbidden. Who are you, anyway?

Civilians were ordered to return to their homes. E00051A4 Outside(Entrance to the Castle):02 Shadow Cornet Sounds good to me. Let's fight our way in through the front door! That sounds good. Why not fight our way in? *puff* *pant*...Oh, what I'd give for a cold drink.

I'm running about, checking each area for damage!

Please let me through! I'm running about checking for damage, okay?!

I'm in an extreme hurry! Please be a lamb and let me through! Well, you can count me out. All I care about is avenging Gramps and Fee.

I don't have time to play around with the Empire. Are you just going to leave the people of Diadem in the Empire's clutches? How could you live with yourself? Castles may fall, nations may perish. It's none of my business. I'm outta here. Maybe we'll cross paths again someday...or maybe not. You're coming, too. There's too many of 'em for Xelha and me to handle alone.

We need you, kid. Both you and your Guardian Spirit. Aw!

Fine! I'll help you... Just get your hands off me! Phew! You could've squeezed the life outta me! We're all set, then. Let's get this party started. Yes, let's hurry. Umm...Can't we at least wait until nightfall?

We can't exactly sneak in during broad daylight. *puff* *pant*...Oh, what I'd give for a cold drink.

I'm running about checking for progress on Castle Elnath's restoration efforts!

Please let me through! We don't have time for that. The sooner the better. Xelha's right. We gotta get movin'. All right, I see what's going on here now.

You two are nuts!

If you get me killed in there, I swear I'll come back as a ghost and haunt you forever. You've been warned. That's fine with me. I've always wanted a Guardian Spirit of my own. Sheesh!

Hey , why don't you hop into Xelha's being for a change? Teach her a thing or two. Let's get down to business.

Here's the plan...since the castle is surrounded on all sides...

How about stealing..err..borrowing a small boat from the harbor and flying directly down into the castle from above?

Sounds like a good idea. What do you think, ? Great. Let's head for the harbor, then. Are you crazy? The odds of getting in like that are next to none, .

Gibari's plan sounds like the only way in. I'm running about checking progress, okay?! And therefore I'm in an extreme hurry!

Please be a lamb and let me through! We can't let the Empire reach King Ladekahn. No Empire's gonna tread on this nation if I can help it. Th-thank you very much! I happened to be extremely thirsty!

A knight must return courtesy with courtesy. Please take this. Yechhh...it's salty!

You must excuse me. Hey, do you two have any idea of what you're up against? Imperial Soldier Going any further is pointless. Our main unit is dealing with Castle Elnath.

Which means we won't be letting you through. Got it? Now get lost. Entrance into Castle Elnath is forbidden. Who are you, anyway?

Civilians were ordered to return to their homes. Castle Elnath is undergoing restoration. Some floors and walls are crumbling from the damage.

Please be careful inside. The restoration of Castle Elnath is proceeding smoothly, but please be careful inside. The restoration of Castle Elnath is practically finished. It is safe to go in now. Castle Elnath is undergoing restoration. Some areas have been badly damaged.

Please be careful inside. E00051AB Outside(In Front of the Mayor's Residence):03 Flash Armor Shadow Cornet I find that hard to believe. King Ladekahn, plotting a surprise attack against the Empire? Huh? ...It won't open. Not much we can do here. Let's go somewhere else, . *puff* *pant*...Oh, what I'd give for a cold drink.

You must excuse me. Oh no. Please no. Never. No way. Those Imperial soldiers...

They simply HAD to write their names here, huh?! And it's not coming off! How typical!

They simply HAD to use something that won't rub off!!

I'm not making progress here... I'm not making progress... Imperial Soldier You there! Get back inside!

Stay indoors if you value your hides! What a ridiculous accusation. King Ladekahn must be a hindrance to the Emperor's plans. Yeah, looks like the Emperor's trying to draw attention from himself and make King Ladekahn look like the bad guy for some reason.

What could they be after? The sealed power of an ancient god... What?! Are you serious? We...I came to warn your king, but it's too late now... Whatever...That guy in there...Lyude, was it?

He doesn't seem too bright, does he? Thickheads like him won't live to see their twenties. Man Is that you, Gibari?! Please do something! You must save the King! If anyone, you're the one who can do it! All right, all right. I'm on my way. Just tone it down, will ya? It's faded, but I can still read it. If I just keep scrubbing away, it'll come off eventually. ...Is he okay? Yes, yes...Thank god.

Imperial soldiers stormed the castle, but they were held off at the inner wall.

They're in a stalemate of sorts now, against the King's Knights. Gotcha.

I'll do whatever I can. You better lay low indoors. Okay? Thank you! We're counting on you, Gibari! Hey, it's you again. The salt water you gave me works like magic! I'm removing graffiti left and right! Mwahahahaha! Mere graffiti is no match for my skill!!

...er, ahem...looks like I'm out of booze...Got any to spare? Anything'll do. Mwahahahaha! Mere graffiti is no match for my skill!!

Sheliak is almost fully restored. We're toasting to the event here. It's not working.

I have no idea what they used to write this grafitti, but it's not coming off with regular water. Hey, it's working! I should've used salt water all along. Thanks for the tip!

Here, take this. It's not much, but you might get some use out of it. Gracias! That's just what I needed. Here, take this. You won't be leaving town. Get back inside. We were always told to stay away from the Shrine of the Winds.

Now they say there's a strange crack there...I wouldn't go there if they paid me. I've heard rumors of the ancient god being resurrected.

If true, this is even worse news than what we've been going through here.

But as our dear King Ladekahn and leaders of the other nations are working together...

I feel it's an ordeal we'll be able to endure. Damn those Imperial soldiers!

They must have hit the street lights on purpose, so the damage will stand out!

What would Sheliak be without its lights! I'll fix them all, whatever it takes!! Damn! This one's in really bad shape! It'll be a tough one to fix...

But you wait and see, I'll have it up and shining in no time! Ha ha ha! I'm having a toast with my friends, celebrating the restoration of Sheliak!

The damage done wasn't that serious compared to Castle Elnath...

But what would Sheliak be without its lights?! Those Imperial soldiers, they simply had to damage the parts that are hardest to fix!

The cobblestones and pavement here and there will be an easy fix.

But the base of each street light is gonna take some elbow grease. *grumble* This is frustrating! Do I really have to do this?!

Well, just a little more time I guess... Soon I'll have it fixed up nice and pretty—better than new! Ohh. I think I'm drunk...

Here's to the restoration of Sheliak!! We were drinking to the event, you see.

Come on, enjoy yourselves! It's a celebration! Hmm...that's odd. Is there a wiring problem? The lights aren't lighting up properly.

It might not be because of those Imperial soldiers, but in times like these, I wanna blame them anyway. Hmmmmmm... What's going on here? The lights won't light up properly.

It might not be because of those Imperial soldiers, but in times like these, I wanna blame them anyway. Ugh...I'm gonna hurl. *HIC*... Should have thought twice about that last drink.

Note to self... Excessive drinking...hazardous to health...*HIC* The lampposts here are partly dug up. What a mess if these puppies fell over, huh?

It's those Imperial soldiers, I tell ya. They cause nothing but trouble! The lampposts here are partly dug up. What a mess if these puppies fell over, huh?

It's those Imperial soldiers, I tell ya.

They won't be falling down, now, but we can never be too careful about this. Ahh...that hit the spot! Nothing like a cold drink at the end of a hard day's work. Nothin' like it, I tell ya...

Sheliak is almost fully restored. I'm toasting the event with my friends. I'm on guard duty...upholding the safety of the townsfolk here in Sheliak. Sheliak is almost fully restored. Hope all this hasn't ruined your travels. Sheliak is almost fully restored. Hope all this hasn't ruined your travels.

I can hear the cheers and the merrymaking. I'd love to join in once my shift is over. I heard King Ladekahn was ambushed! Damn the Empire! Those cowards!

I hope our dear king is safe. They say the wound King Ladekahn received during the attack by the Empire isn't that serious.

What a relief! Without our king, there would be no Diadem to speak of. They say the ancient god, Malpercio, has been revived. I've seen my share of trouble, but never this serious...

Yet Diadem will prevail, as long as the White Flame, King Ladekahn, is here to lead us. Daddy hasn't come home yet... But I can't worry forever.

If he's not coming back, I have to protect Mommy, and my country.

I'm going to follow in Daddy's footsteps and become a knight. Mommy is against me becoming a knight, but that's not going to stop me!

I'm going to follow in Daddy's footsteps. I'm the one who'll protect Mommy, and my country. I've made up my mind! I'm going to be a knight! When I told Mommy, she started crying...

She told me she wanted me to grow up like a regular kid...

Not much choice, I guess. I don't want to see Mommy cry anymore,

so I'm playing around like all the other kids, 'cause that'll make Mommy happy. Diadem? Planning a surprise attack? Does the Empire feel no shame?

If anyone carried out a surprise attack, it was them!

None of us had any idea something like this would happen. E00051B2 House 1:04 Voice 2 Fading Notebook Calm Helmet Ray of Truth You see a series of colorful pitchers, some made of glass, others ceramic. You see plates with portraits painted on them, along with a few framed pictures. Local celebrities, perhaps? A thick book catches your eye... A thin layer of dust has settled on its cover. Flat plates are lined atop the dresser, elegantly decorated and thoroughly polished. Greythorne Squeak... Meemai Squeeeeak. Squeak. Squeak squeak! Just look at this mess.

We knew this would happen. That the Empire would do something like this, sooner or later.

Relations between Diadem and the Empire have never been too good...

but there hadn't been any conflicts to speak of for the past twenty years.

No one was prepared. No one but us old folks, that is. And what you see now is the result of that... The Empire has taken control of the town.

But King Ladekahn and his knights are still holding out in the castle.

The Empire won't be having its way, not that easily. The king's swordsmanship is almost unparalleled! I don't know how many soldiers the Empire has...

but they'll never be able to take him down! Our heads were in the sand while the Empire was steadily building up its military strength.

And these are the consequences for that oversight. The truth hurts sometimes... They took us by surprise this time, but it won't happen again. I say we should launch a counterattack.

The people of Diadem are always ready to take up arms and serve our homeland. I was working in the castle up until a while ago. I was mainly in charge of cleaning up the eastern floors.

Can't remember when exactly, but I started feeling a strange presence coming from the Shrine of the Winds?

I really think there's something out there. I wonder what the heck is happening in the Shrine of the Winds.

It's no longer any of my business, but it still bugs me. It's no longer a war between nations.

If we're up against a god, we need to join what forces we have. Those Imperial soldiers, with their terrible weapons. Just remembering gives me the shivers.

Mysterious machines, spurting columns of light...

Maybe the era of swords and knights has come to an end... I heard the castle took heavier damage than the town did.

Holding the Imperial forces back was the best the knights could do. Both the town and the castle have been restored to where we can lead everyday lives again.

It'll still take us a while to get everything back in place,

but we're aiming to get it all done in three years. It's our homeland, after all. Everyone will lend a hand.

With King Ladekahn's guidance and leadership, we may be able to finish even sooner. Do you know what's become of the Empire?

I hated them when they were occupying our town, but times have changed.

We must join forces if we want to survive. So, even I'm worried about the Empire. E00051B9 House 2:05 Red and Blue Pencil Mayor, what do you intend to do about this?

Our king is in great peril. We can't just sit idle and watch... Mayor of Sheliak I understand that, but the Empire has taken control of the entire city.

There's nothing we can do at present.

We should wait for instructions from King Ladekahn. How is the town holding up? Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Squeak squeak. Squeak... Fortunately, no one has been hurt by the Imperial Soldiers...yet.

At the very least, it seems the Empire doesn't intend to conquer Diadem immediately. Yet what they are doing is totally barbaric. What reason could they have to send troops to Diadem? They claim we were planning a surprise attack on the Empire... A surprise attack on the Empire?! ...Nonsense. I've never heard of such a silly idea.

Our king would never do something like that without telling his people.

...Anyway, all we can do now is to trust King Ladekahn and his knights, and to wait, patiently.

...Yet with Sheliak under Imperial control, we may be used as hostages against our knights in the castle.

Anything could happen... We should be prepared for the worst. You see numerous books and picture stands. The desk is covered in a mass of papers and trinkets, with hardly any space left for writing. You see a row of books with difficult titles, and hardly a trace of having been read. You see a picture of twin girls. They're smiling innocently while riding on their father's shoulders. You see a series of albums with covers tinted navy blue, scarlet, and green, neatly lined up in chronological order. What's going to happen to us? A lot of soldiers came, carrying big weapons...

Many more than the knights in the castle. They're gone? The scary people? Is it safe to go out? The fishes are back in Nashira Port.

But my friend's not happy about that one bit. Can't we just be friends with this god?

I'm sure we could all get along. Hey, don't worry! I'm here to protect you!

Plus, the knights in the castle are the best of the best. They'll make short work of those stupid soldiers. The knights in the castle chased away those scary soldiers. We can go outside and play, now. Hey, we should go watch the fishes in Nashira.

They say they're back. The fish, I mean. Everything'll be back to normal soon. Yeah, if we could be friends with the god, everything would be fine... No need to worry so much. We might not be able to fight off the Empire with a direct confrontation,

but with King Ladekahn leading us, we will prevail and survive. I have faith in him. E00051C0 House 3:06 Clock Shield Light Flare Lv 2 You see a collection of books on swordsmanship and the art of the spear, as well as doctrines on the merits of knighthood. Elegantly decorated plates, some circular and others square-shaped, are displayed at regular intervals. Meemai Squ-squeak. You see books about various forms of martial arts. Mementos from competitions are on display, barely leaving any space. You see some pretty flowers in bloom. They're a type you've seen quite often, but the name escapes you. A neatly arranged desk, suggesting a facet of the owner's character. You see a chest with its corners rounded off. It is no doubt of high quality, yet feels cordial somehow. A portrait of a middle-aged man is displayed on the shelf. Greythorne Squeak. Squeeeeak. It seems that Castle Elnath is under siege. My son should be in the castle, protecting the King.

I'll stay here and protect our home. The Empire will never lay hands on my beloved family. I see the castle burning... Black smoke is rising everywhere... I wonder if my father is safe... My son is in the castle. I knew this would happen eventually, but I simply can't stop worrying...

I wish he would run for his life, instead of staying to fight and die in battle. My husband is a knight. He always tells us that a knight's duty is to protect the king and the people, whatever the cost.

He may be risking his life as we speak. I will wait, hoping... I have faith he'll come home... My husband hasn't come back yet... But I heard King Ladekahn is safe.

Should my husband have fallen in battle, he would still be satisfied, having fulfilled his pledge to protect the king. My husband never came back...

Yet, I believe the values he upheld will be passed along in the hearts of us who remain... It looks like my daughter wants to be a knight. She's been learning how to handle the spear...

Of course I think there are better things for a girl to pursue, but I still can't help being proud of her.

It's as if my husband's soul lives on within her... E00051C7 Mayor's Room:07 Savings Book Butterfly You see bright-red flowers blooming on a large pedestal made of white porcelain. Light from outside, and light from the candles, reflect off the surface of the ceramic vase, conjuring the illusion of a swaying flame. Imperial Commander Either way, your opinion is irrelevant.

Just do what you're told, and stay out of the way. Unless you're asking for more than just another "exile." ... You see fine works of strong-fire pottery, painted with a blue-green glaze, situated neatly behind the glass. A flame is burning intensely—a spiritual symbol of the people of Diadem. You see an expensive-looking collection of dishes and cups—white pottery with intricate patterns painted on with a blue glaze. There must be some mistake!

The King doesn't want Diadem to go to war. You have my word, Sire! I don't recall asking for your opinion, boy.

I am acting under a direct order from the Emperor. An order, I am quite sure, you are in no position to challenge. Don't tell me you still believe that nonsense about the infidels being equal to the Empire's chosen elite! I... Have you already forgotten why you were exiled to this godforsaken land, Ambassador?

One would think foolishness would have its limits. Mayor of Sheliak You are travelers, aren't you? My apologies for all the fuss.

Once the castle has been restored, things should calm down a little. That may be a better time for you to visit.

Castle Elnath, and the clouds surrounding it, will be returned to the height of their beauty. So, what do you think? The town is pretty much back to normal, isn't it?

This is all thanks to the people of Diadem, joining forces to rebuild their homeland. Recently, I've been hearing one bad thing after another.

I know it is unwise of me as Mayor to jump to conclusions, but...

...the revival of an ancient god? ...sightings of the Master of the Greater Celestial River?

Ominous news has reached us from the other islands. Could this mean trouble? Welcome to the town of Sheliak. If you wish to see the mayor, please proceed to your right. -- Elnath, Castle in the Clouds -- E00051CE Rooftop Dock:01 Knight I was told you'll be leaving for Anuenue. The vessel behind me is His Majesty's ship, the "Mindeer."

It's at your disposal by order of the King. She's currently undergoing preparations for the trip, though.

I must ask you to wait in the castle. Why don't we check on Lyude before departure?

He seemed awfully depressed after what happened at the shrine. I'm a little worried about him. Ladekahn When you arrive at Anuenue, go to the palace, and give this letter to Queen Corellia. Ladekahn's Letter Yes, Your Majesty. We won't fail you. I'm counting on you...all of you. Please, get some rest My Lord. All righty. Let's get movin'! Let's go! Not yet... Let's go now. Let's go later. I see. Let me know when you're ready. Hurry up !! The King is still inside. This place is crawling with Imperials...We might not be able to hold them off for much longer! We managed to get rid of them...

The king was hurt, but we should be thankful that the fight is over and done with.

But we are the Knights of Diadem! We can't let them get away with this. They shot our king! We must act! King Ladekahn has now fully recovered. He's in Anuenue with Queen Corellia. I didn't think those Imperial scoundrels would go this far, putting the world in danger...

, you're the only ones that can strike the enemy's headquarters. I'm counting on you. Please help my fellow comrades! They're holding off Imperial soldiers inside. Sheliak has been brought under their control...

If we knights had been strong enough, this would have never happened...

The people of Diadem will never yield to the Empire even if we lose this war!

Never! You saved us, . You and your friends. Thank you.

If it weren't for all of you, we may have lost our king. Thank you so much. Something strange is happening at the Shrine of the Winds. Do you know what's going on? All the nations are uniting against the forces of darkness.

This may not be such a wise idea, but let us show them the fighting spirit of Diadem!! ?! You came!! You really threw us for a loop coming in on an Imperial pod like that!

The Imperial soldiers are already inside.

I have to stand guard here. Please, you must go inside and protect King Ladekahn! ! So the king is still alive! Right, leave it to me! You can't board the ship yet. It's still being repaired.

Please wait in the castle. It shouldn't take too long. Are you ready for departure? My apologies for the long wait. She's all set.

Are you ready for departure? How's the Mindeer doing?

The Mindeer is our king's most treasured ship. She's one of the finest ever made. As things stand now, I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said the future of the world is now in your hands!

Please do your best. Would you like to leave now? Yes No Infinity Mask First and foremost, let's find King Ladekahn. Yeah.

Imperial soldiers may have already infiltrated the castle though, so be careful. Corellia How should our nations deal with this? We should prepare for the possibility of being forced into an all-out war against the Empire... We haven't received any information regarding whether the Imperial Army has made a move.

We must avoid war by all possible means... Still, if all the End Magnus are released, and should the power of the evil god be revived, then... I understand. But... Diadem Knight I humbly report to you, Queen Corellia and King Ladekahn.

and the others are going to leave Mira and head for the Imperial Capital. Hmm... I see... Let's wait and see if they're able to retrieve the End Magnus,

and put an end to Emperor Geldoblame's vile plans. But do you think they'll be okay going at it alone?

The fate of the world is in their hands. There's no room for mistakes. Let's wait to hear from them, but we must also be prepared to move quickly when the time comes.

Let us trust...in that mysterious young pair and their spirit. E00051D5 Great Hall:02 King Ladekahn, how are you feeling? Please don't strain yourself. Just rest upon the throne. Ladekahn No, I'm fine. I can't just sit around doing nothing while everyone else does their utmost restoring the town.

Besides, I'm not that fragile. Compared to the injuries of my youth, this is only a scratch.

You know that well, don't you ? Ha ha ha! You haven't changed at all! Diadem will be safe with you on the throne. Now, you must all depart. Please explain our situation to the people of Anuenue as soon as possible.

A ship is on the roof at your disposal. I'm counting on you. Only a coward would shoot the king when he's unarmed and willing to talk. Don't they have any honor? , do what you have to do. We'll restore the castle and the town to their former glory. Sure, we'll take care of things. I'll show those Imperial bastards just who they're dealing with. ...They'll pay for this outrage! If you see King Ladekahn, could you relay a message for me?

Please tell him not to worry about the people of Diadem and the knights. If I only could have shielded him, none of this would have happened... I'm so ashamed of myself. King Ladekahn is working too hard! How can he even stand after being wounded so badly?

We failed our people and our King. We don't even deserve to call ourselves knights. I wonder if King Ladekahn is doing okay in Anuenue.

The wound he suffered couldn't have healed yet... You should prepare well before you head for the Shrine of the Winds. Looks like those battles have taken their toll on you. How about taking a little rest? Yeah, let's get some rest. No, we don't need to rest. That's not the way to the shrine. If we don't hurry, the Imperials will beat us there. Yeah, you're right. I almost forgot. The secret path's next to the throne. ...where are you? I'm here, Sire. Your homeland... You lost it on our account. I'm so sorry. No, Sire. It was by my own will.

It is I who must ask forgiveness, for what my people have done.

I can't believe the horror, the recklessness... You need not feel responsible for what the Empire has done.

It's something beyond your control. Hello , it's certainly been a while.

You came just in time.

Are these your friends? You saved us from disaster. I'm truly thankful. We are honored, My Lord. If only we could have come earlier... King Ladekahn, there is something I must ask you...

It's very important. Please do. I'll answer to the best of my ability. Would the royal family have any legends, tales of forbidden places, or old warnings passed down from your forefathers?

Maybe something mentioning the gods of old? Why do you ask? There's little time for details now...

But I believe that is the key to finding out what the Empire is after. What?! Are you sure of this? Deep in the mountains, behind the castle, it lies dormant within the Shrine of the Winds.

Lay not your hands on it, lest they be awakened.

Woe to those who awaken the malevolent gods of old, banished and sealed away eons ago...

These verses were passed down from generation to generation within the royal line.

It is a Lord's duty to protect the Shrine, and then to pass that duty on to his successor.

Yet this obligation came to be regarded as mere folklore from some time ago.

Mere legends... but you believe them to be true? Yes...I am sure of it.

Ancient ruins exist in Sadal Suud as well.

The shining Magnus that was sealed there has already fallen into Geldoblame's hands... An ancient Magnus, sealed away... Now in Geldoblame's possession...

It seems we have little time to lose. I need all my knights to defend this castle. , I must ask a favor of you. Yes, My Lord. I'll see to it that the Shrine is safe. Thank you, Gibari.

Whatever it is that lies in the Shrine,

we can't allow it to fall into the Empire's clutches. As you wish, My Lord. I'm going with you. Thanks, . All right, all right. I'll come with you. Quit giving me "the look" already!! You coming, ? Let's go. We shouldn't go. Thank you, . We need your help. Please. You have to come with us. If at all possible, I'd like to accompany you. I can't bear standing here doing nothing. Thanks. We'll need all the help we can get.

There's no telling what we'll be up against. There's a hidden passageway behind the right column, there. It leads to an exit behind the castle. Thank you, My Lord. I'll secure the Shrine. It shouldn't take long. I'm counting on you all to defend the castle! Protect our King at all costs. Head Knight We'll keep things safe here, . You and your friends take care. Okay, let's get moving. Corellia How should our nations deal with this mess? We must be ready to wage an all-out war against the Empire, should it become necessary. There have been no reports thus far that the Empire is amassing its forces.

War must be avoided at all costs... But once all the End Magnus are unsealed,

and the power of the wicked god is unleashed, it would be too late. I understand that... Yet, King Ladekahn... Diadem Knight I bring a message for Your Highness. and his party plan to leave Mira and head for the Imperial capital. Is that right? Hmmm. I suggest we wait just a little longer. If they succeed in recovering the End Magnus,

and in stopping Geldoblame's scheme, it may be unnecessary to act. But you think they can take care of it alone?

The fate of the world is at stake here. One wrong move could lead to grave consequences. Then we should be prepared to act, and wait for word from them.

I have faith in that young man, bonded with the Guardian Spirit... E00051DC Passage 1:03 Head Knight Looks like both the East and West passages are in order.

You not only helped our king, but also helped us restore the castle. I don't know how to thank you...

Please take this. It'll help you on your journey. Glass Earrings I appreciate it. Here's the Magnus I promised to give you.

Don't tell the other knights or the people about this flower, okay? Hydra Tempest Shield Could it be?! You made it, !! I'm glad...truly glad to see you! The Empire invaded so suddenly. That's why they were able to force their way so far into the castle.

If this gets any worse, our king may be in danger. Can you manage to get to the king and protect him?

My men are trying to stop the Imperials from getting any further inside the castle.

The Diadem knights are a proud bunch, and they won't go down easy.

But still, bad things can happen on occasion. I'll put four knights at your command.

If the other knights are in a jam, please dispatch these men as you see fit. Oh, and take these items: the Diadem Royal Crest and a Blank Magnus.

If you see someone injured with no will to fight, show him this crest. He will rise up again and help you.

Diadem's Royal Crest hangs on that wall. Take it if you need additional support.

If you want to know more about how to dispatch the knights, ask the unit commander next to me.

I have faith in you, . Please take care of our king. You've obtained the Diadem Royal Crest. If you want to know more about how to dispatch the Knights, ask the unit commander next to me.

I have faith in you, . Please take care of our King. Diadem's Royal Crest hangs on that wall. Take it if you need additional support.

You can take as many as you need. Oh, and friends. Job well done.

Castle Elnath was badly damaged, but restoration efforts are currently underway. I heard you helped us with the restoration.

Now the West Passage is almost completely repaired.

Thank you. Please take this. It's not much, but it's all I have to show you how much I appreciate your help. I heard you helped us with the restoration.

Now the East Passage is almost completely repaired.

Thank you, and here's a token of our gratitude. Please accept it. Thank you very much. Oh, thank you for your help the other day. Thanks to you, the damage was kept to a minimum.

Above all, we are forever in your debt, for you saved King Ladekahn.

The restoration of both the castle and the town is going well. Let me thank you again. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks to you, the damage was kept to a minimum.

Above all, we are forever in your debt, for you saved King Ladekahn.

The restoration of both the castle and the town is going well. Let me thank you again.

By the way, we found this Magnus among the debris while we were making repairs...

I'm thinking of giving it to you... What do you think?

Uhh...but not for free...

If you bring the Nameless Flower to me, I'll give this to you.

I wanted to show my appreciation to the people of Diadem for their hard work by giving them flowers...

But collecting flowers at my age is kind of embarrassing.

So I was wondering if you could help me out... By the way, we found this Magnus among the debris while we were repairing...

I'm thinking of giving it to you... What do you think?

Uhh...but not for free...

If you bring the Nameless Flower to me, I'll give this to you.

I wanted to show my appreciation to the people of Diadem for their hard work by giving them flowers...

But collecting flowers at my age is kind of embarrassing. So I was wondering if you could help me out... Please don't tell the Knights and the people about this. We'll secure this area. Go on ahead. I'm sorry...I don't think I can make it... Please...I ask you to protect the king and his people... It's no use. He won't reply, no matter how much we call to him... I managed to tidy up this section, but restoring the whole castle will take some time. We buried the bodies of our comrades according to the traditions of the knights.

We can rebuild the castle, but we can never bring back those we have lost. I'll never forgive the Empire. I've been thinking about those who died...They are gone, lost forever...

But seeing people work so hard to restore the town gives me the strength to go on.

I began to think...trying to look past the sadness, and towards the future...our future. No matter what the ancient gods have thrown at us, we have endured and survived.

Even though only a handful of us may be left, we'll still be able to get back on our feet.

That's proof of our great inner strength. Unit Commander Okay, let me explain... If you go any further, you'll run into battles between the knights and Imperial soldiers.

If you take these knights with you, you'll be able to dispatch them to those battles.

If the combined strength of the knights already fighting and the knights you dispatch surpasses the strength of the Imperial soldiers, the knights will win.

However, if the knights' combined strength is below that of the Imperial soldiers, the Knights will be defeated and the Imperial soldiers will then be able to attack you.

Your mission is to avoid that situation and lead all the knights to victory. If you get low on recruits, you can use the Diadem Royal Crest to obtain additional forces.

If you see knights who have lost the will to fight, use the crest to motivate them.

Even though they seem to have lost the will to fight, it's only temporary.

They're still the Knights of Diadem, and they'll take heart and follow you. That's all the advice I have.

Would you like to hear it again? What do you want to do, ? Let's hear it again. I've got it. Let's hear it again. I understand. Okay, can you tell us again? That's all right. I've got it. Very well. Good luck to you. Would you like to learn how to dispatch the Knights? Let's learn how. I already know how. If you don't mind, we'd like to learn how. Thanks, but we already know how. Okay. If you ever get confused about how to dispatch the knights, come ask me. I'll be standing right here. Turquoise Wings. You see before you the Diadem Royal Crest. "Diadem Foot Soldier" "Diadem Sergeant" Light Flare Lv 2 "Diadem Medic" Dark Flare Lv 2 Damn! The knights'll be finished if we leave them like this! We gotta do something! Stay strong, Diadem Knights! Show 'em your pride and skill! Thank you for your help.

Please help our comrades—they're still locked in vicious combat further down.

Oh yes, take this. Butterfly No! The knights have been... Here they come! They should be able to manage on their own now.

I'm worried about the king. Let's move. Dark Sword E00051E3 Passage 2:04 Thank you for saving us. There are injured people in this room.

If the Imperials had gotten any further, it would've been a disaster. We'll secure this room. Please go ahead. Dammit! M-my limbs...I can't...move... I-I'm...alive?

We have underestimated their strength.

Imperial soldiers in black armor are twice as strong as ones in red armor.

Please tell my comrades to be especially cautious when confronting soldiers with black armor. You must go and help the king. We can manage here. Damn! What has happened to the Great Hall?

You should be able to see a bridge that leads to the Great Hall from this balcony, but those flames are blocking the way.

You might be able to check the Great Hall from the balcony on the other side. Castle Elnath would have surely fallen if they had continued attacking. Why their sudden retreat? Supervisor Are you here to help us clean up this mess? Cleaning...up? Let's help them. Let's leave them. Yeah, in situations like this, we have to lend a hand...

What should we do? Oh, you'll help us?

Well, the job is simple. I just want you to move rubble off to the sides to get this hall cleared.

Just push it in the direction you want to put it. That's all.

Push aside any rubble that's in the way. Good luck. Hey, thanks a lot. We'll get the rest. We need to restore this place as soon as possible! That's mighty kind of you. We don't have enough manpower. Thank you. Thanks to your help, the castle is being restored to its original condition. We recovered a lot of Magnus from the debris while repairing the castle.

The battle raged on both sides. It was truly chaotic. They must have used quite a few Magnus.

We gave the Magnus we found to the Head Knight. You should go see him if you're interested in them. We should've been more careful about how we dealt with the Empire. We were caught totally off guard. I heard about your work. I knew you could do it. One more time, with us...

Hm, I know. Forget I said anything. Hmm? I don't see anywhere. Could something have happened to him?

No, couldn't be. He's tough. Besides, aren't we splitting up? If we hadn't been held back by the Empire, the knights could've done so much more.

If we don't help now, we'll feel like we haven't done our duty as citizens. The knights should be proud. They fought with valor.

They did what they could against such overwhelming forces. There's a painting entitled "The Leering Baron." Its rough texture is very distinctive. There's a painting entitled "Torch of the Gods." Its elaborate texture is very distinctive. There's a painting entitled "Child of Heaven." Its intense texture is very distinctive. There's a painting entitled "Arrogance." It's distinctive feature is that, well, it has none. Dark Yell Lv 1 Damn! The knights'll be finished if we leave them like this! We gotta do something! Stay strong, Diadem Knights! Show 'em your pride and skill! Thank you for saving us.

I'm going to stay here. Take this Magnus as a token of my gratitude. Fire Aura 1 No! The knights have been... Here they come! They should be able to manage on their own now.

I'm worried about the king. Let's move. We'll secure this area. Go on ahead. Looks like you're done. Thanks. You were a great help.

The Head Knight is upstairs.

He doesn't have much, but he'd like to give you a reward. What's going on? Aren't you gonna finish the job? Umm... Let's keep working. Let's quit. Of course. I always finish what I start.

Let's keep at it. No, we can't waste any more time here.

Let's go. What's wrong, ? You wanna give up? E00051EA Passage 3:05 Supervisor Oh! Everything's cleared up nicely. I knew you could do it!

The Head Knight is upstairs waiting for you.

He'd like to give you a reward, so please go see him. Look at that! You must go and help the king. We can manage here. We'll secure this area. Go on ahead. You should be able to see how the bridge is doing from that balcony, but...the king...

Is King Ladekahn okay? This amount of damage shouldn't be too hard to repair. See? People have already started restoring the place.

The people of Diadem always unite in times of crisis. I told you. The people of Diadem always come together for a common cause.

As proof, the place is already cleaned up. Malpercio...

This time, it's not only the people of Diadem.

The people of the world must unite to put an end to this wickedness. Looks to me like you want to help clean this place up. Am I wrong? Huh? We want to help. Let's leave. We'd like to help. Let's leave them. Sure. After all, we can't even walk through here like this.

What should we do? Oh! I was right!

I knew you would offer to help!

The job is simple. Please get rid of all the rubble scattered about.

Totally and completely.

It's easy if you "Magnatize it," right?

Well, get to work. Thanks for the help.

Now that you've helped us, the restoration of Elnath is right around the corner. I knew I was right. I knew you would help us. Look at this place. It's totally cleared out because of your help.

I'm sure glad I found you. We found some Magnus while we were cleaning up the place.

Of course, I gave them to the Head Knight.

That's a knight's duty, is it not? There's a painting entitled "Thinking Ahead." It has a distinctive, flowing texture. There's a painting entitled "To a Sinner." Its realistic texture is very distinctive. There's a painting entitled "The Sea of Clouds." Its playful texture is very distinctive. There's a painting entitled "Metropolis." Its odd texture is very distinctive. Light Yell Lv 1 Damn! The knights'll be finished if we leave them like this! We gotta do something! Stay strong, Diadem Knights! Show 'em your pride and skill! There must be other knights struggling up ahead. Please go to them.

I'll give you this. Aqua Aura 1 No! The knights have been... Here they come! They should be able to manage on their own now.

I'm worried about the king. Let's move. What's wrong? There's still some rubble left. Umm... Let's keep working. Let's quit. Of course. I always finish what I start.

Let's keep at it. No, we can't waste any more time here.

Let's go. Debris from Castle Elnath is scattered about. You can see the damage wrought by the Empire. Did you hear that?

Unbelievable! No! Don't go! E00051F1 Passage 4:06 You must go and help the king. We can manage here. We'll secure this area. Go on ahead. It's no use. He won't reply, no matter how much we call to him... King Ladekahn is in the Great Hall. Although he's been wounded, he refuses to rest.

That's always been his character, so we must do everything we can to protect him, even at the risk of our own lives. We seem to have lost our way since the king left Diadem.

We don't know who to follow or what to do. I know this is not right... When will our king return? I know the world is in a crisis, but...

It really worries me not to have seen King Ladekahn for this long... This is... The Diadem Royal Crest?

That's right, I remember. Even though the king is not here, I will always remain his loyal servant.

I'll get laughed at for acting like this when I'm supposed to be a knight.

Thank you. I almost lost myself. If this means anything to you, please accept this as my gratitude. Rainbow Ash Even though the king is absent, I will not lose my way,

and I will do my best to be true to the knights. Did you sleep well? The king was kept safe because of your actions.

It's kind of busy around here because of the restoration, but please make yourself at home. The storm that hit Diadem is gone.

But now the world is about to be hit by that same storm.

What can we mere mortals do? The leaders of all the islands are working together, which has never happened before...

Seems like they're only working together because they have a common enemy now...

How ironic is that? Looks like this statue is safe. This is the symbol of the Knights of Diadem. It reminds me of when I first joined the knights.

Just so I don't forget the feelings I had back then, I come here from time to time to look at the statue. I heard rumors of a dragon that resembles this statue, residing in a nation full of witches called Wazn.

I wonder if that's got anything to do with this statue being here... The front entrance has already been repaired.

We're trying to regroup. We'll never let this kind of thing happen again. This front entrance is also known as the Face of Elnath.

It's a source of pride for us, and if broken through again, it would shame the knights to no end.

But that will never happen again. By the honor of the knights, I won't let it happen again. You're traveling around the world, right? How are the other nations doing?

The Imperial Army is nowhere near as powerful as the forces of darkness.

As you know, those forces are not human. I heard you're going to Anuenue.

According to rumor, Anuenue is not interested in relations with other nations.

It'll be a difficult task, but I hope you'll be successful. What is it like visiting other nations?

We have no opportunities to leave here, so we can only rely on rumors.

When the world is peaceful once more, I'd like to hear of your travels. This dragon statue is made of jade.

Truly a work of art, and the perfect complement to glorious Castle Elnath. There's a painting entitled "Nameless Flower."

It has an aesthetically pleasing texture that's very distinctive. There's a painting entitled "An Innocent Lady." Its simple texture is very distinctive. There's a painting entitled "Light That Shines in Darkness." Its precise texture is very distinctive. There's a painting entitled "Line of Waterfalls." Its bold texture is very distinctive. Damn! The knights'll be finished if we leave them like this! We gotta do something! Stay strong, Diadem Knights! Show 'em your pride and skill! There's no hope beyond this door. It's already been taken by the Imperial Soldiers.

Use the stairs on the right to go around. And take this with you. Light Aura 1 No! The knights have been... Here they come! They should be able to manage on their own now.

I'm worried about the king. Let's move. Oh, and friends, thanks for your help!

This is my treasured Magnus. Please take it with you.

And...protect the king. Dark Aura 1 Flash Armor Shadow Suit E00051F8 Guest Room 1:07 You must go and help the king. We can manage here. We'll secure this area. Go on ahead. ...

It's the Imperials...there's too many of them! King Ladekahn...

... ...

The ancient god...his wrath is upon us!

... ...

Malpercio...is coming to ravage our world...

... What I want most in the world right now is to be healthy again.

I have to recover and get back out there to help my comrades. It looks like he's having a nightmare. He was attacked by hordes of Imperial soldiers. It must've been awful. It looks like he's having a nightmare. The knight that was next to him has fully recovered and is back at his post. I still have to take care of this one, though. It looks like he's having a nightmare.

It's not easy for me to say this, but my feelings of sympathy are changing to those of affection.

I've been taking care of him for a while now and I've begun to have feelings for him. White porcelain pots, decorated in gold, adorn the gold-plated desk. Fading Notebook Damn! The knights'll be finished if we leave them like this! We gotta do something! Stay strong, Diadem Knights! Show 'em your pride and skill! I'm so ashamed of myself. I let them get too far into the castle.

Take this Magnus. You'll probably get more use out of it than I will. Chronos Aura 1 No! The knights have been... Here they come! They should be able to manage on their own now.

I'm worried about the king. Let's move. Magical Anklet E00051FF Guest Room 2:08 Apprentice Knight Stetch Squire Lekyos ...Please tell my comrades to fight the battle for me... We can only take up to four knights. ...!! The Royal Crest!! What was I saying? If we don't do it, who else will?

Please take me with you. You can now dispatch an Apprentice Knight! You can now dispatch a Squire! I'm flattered that you're counting on me, but I feel I may be of no use to you... Knight Rakadan Senior Knight Giwashka I've been hurt badly... I don't think...I can make it... Th-this is... The Diadem Royal Crest!! I can't die yet. I must protect the king.

Take me with you.

In fact, I'm going with you no matter what you say! You can now dispatch a Knight! You can now dispatch a Senior Knight! Knight Rikmi Knight Bashha You saw that, didn't you? The Imperial soldiers' armor...

There's no way we can beat them... The Diadem Royal Crest! Woo hoooooo!! I am a knight—a Diadem Knight. Losing is not an option!

You must take me with you. I'll show those Imperial thugs the might and valor of a true knight! Senior Knight Rivlaw Apprentice Knight Randame *cough* *cough* I did what I could...

I can no longer move my legs...I'm...sorry. The Royal Crest... You...You've showed me something amazing! I know, don't say any more.

I was about to lose—not to Imperial soldiers, but to myself...

You're taking me with you, aren't you? There's no way you're leaving me here! Squire Conhomme Senior Knight Oonita N-no... I don't have what it takes...

I can't do it. Leave me alone. Th-that is... The Diadem Royal Crest... I admired this crest a great deal in my younger days. It's what inspired me to join the knights.

Do you really think I can make a difference? Do you think there's still time?

I'll go with you! I must dust myself off and protect our nation. Senior Knight Uri Knight Scarlem Damn, my legs...I can't move my legs!!!

I feel miserable. I haven't done much, and look at this... The crest...the Royal Crest! Humph, what was I thinking?

Although I can't move my legs, I can still use my arms to crawl forward!

Let's go. We can't let those Imperial bastards take our castle! As we grieve the deaths of our comrades, families from the Empire must also be grieving the deaths of their loved ones who have died in battle.

Why did this have to happen? Geldoblame...what is it that's driving him? If you ever encounter Imperial soldiers in battle, try to remember...

It's not their fault. It's their leaders'. The soldiers are just following orders... Gazing at Diadem's vast sea of clouds like this makes me think...

Maybe there's no such thing as an evil person...

Maybe everyone is doing good or evil deeds for some reason or another, but it was all predestined... It's the dead body of an Imperial Elite. Perhaps he died a glorious death in battle. White porcelain pots, decorated in gold, adorn the gold-plated desk. E0005206 Guest Room 3:09 Doctor It seems he was under a powerful form of hypnosis.

Should be fine now.

It looks as if no other spell, curse, or the like was cast on him. The moment I saw the Magnus, everything just went black...

I'd lost all awareness of my surroundings.

My sincere apologies. This is all my fault... Ladekahn Don't be so hard on yourself, Lyude. This was none of your doing. What's done is done. It seems as though the Empire was indeed after this shining Magnus.

They withdrew their troops as soon as it was in their possession... Your Majesty, if this isn't asking too much...Could you perhaps tell us in more detail about the legends surrounding the shrine, and the stolen Magnus? Long ago, in a time forgotten by most...A circle of evil wizards created five extraordinary Magnus.

The powers of Malpercio, god of death and destruction, were said to be sealed within them.

They came to be known as the End Magnus. Cursed entities that would bring an end to all things by the power of Malpercio.

The evil wizards fought fervently in a battle with those known as the "Guardians." Eventually, the Guardians emerged victorious.

Yet neither blade nor fire could destroy the End Magnus.

So they were sealed tightly with powerful magic and buried deep underground. The shining Magnus we saw at the shrine... It must've been one of them. It seems so. Two of the five End Magnus have been unearthed and taken by the Empire...

I'm sure Geldoblame will do whatever it takes to get his hands on the remaining three. But the Empire doesn't wanna get tangled up in a war with the other nations.

If they push too hard, they'll end up facing a coalition.

Especially once the Emperor's plans are exposed. I agree. Geldoblame is no fool.

Hence his deployment of sneak attacks to obtain the End Magnus.

Yet if all five End Magnus should fall into his hands, I quiver at the thought of what will become of our world. We must stop him, Your Majesty. Yes. His ambitions must be foiled!

Diadem will be ready to face the Empire if necessary.

Soon I must depart for Anuenue. The third End Magnus is most likely sealed there... But His Majesty needs time to recover. Diadem needs to prepare before all else, My Lord. They need you here.

The injured must be treated, the castle repaired.

I ask you to let me go, along with .

We'll head to the other nations and track down the rest of the End Magnus. Your words ring true.

Very well, . Go and find the remaining End Magnus.

The ray of light that shot out from the shrine seems to have stretched toward Anuenue, the Rainbow Nation.

First you must depart for Anuenue, and take my letter to the Queen.

My ship is at your disposal. I'm counting on you, . We won't let you down, My Lord. Of course, you're comin' too, right ? Yeah. Might as well. Ayme...the one who took the Magnus. She was one of them. They came and killed Gramps, and Fee.

Giacomo and Ayme, looks like they're after the End Magnus, too. I'm glad you're coming! By the way, ...I haven't had the pleasure of hearing your story.

How did you get caught up in all this? I was working at the Imperial Manor, home of Emperor Geldoblame,

when I accidentally came across part of his scheme...

I took a pendant from the mansion which seemed to hold great importance, and then fled as fast as I could. I see...

It was fortunate you were there to delay their plans.

You must have been through a lot... I appreciate your courage, . Thank you, Your Majesty. You must all be exhausted.

Take a well-deserved rest before you leave for Anuenue. What should I do? I've betrayed my people. I can't return to my homeland.

But they used me...manipulated my thoughts to make me a tool for their vile plans.

Why would I even want to go back? , I was thinking... Why don't you come with us? I beg your pardon? C'mon ... Are you serious?!

I mean, there's no guarantee he won't stab us in the back again. You never know... Euhhhh... The more the merrier, right? We could use ya, ! ... Hey...don't worry.

If you start gettin' weird on us again, I'll pop you one in the jaw...

You'll snap right out of it! Remember, we're not trying to start a war with the Empire.

It's about stopping Geldoblame and his malicious plans.

Please...we could really use your help! I...understand.

If you really need my help, I'd be more than happy to accompany you. Thank you so much. I'll do my best. Let's go downstairs. Let's not go downstairs. I'm sorry... Please let me be alone for a while... I'm worried about Lyude. He really seems depressed. I believe that young man is from the Empire. There must be some reason he's here...

Oh, don't get me wrong. Medicine is about caring for those in need. I wouldn't refuse to treat him just because he's from the Empire. It's no use. He won't reply, no matter how much we call to him... What happened at the Shrine of the Winds? I always heard it was a forbidden place...But...what actually happened back in there? White porcelain pots, decorated in gold, adorn the gold-plated desk. Wheat Crackers Wait, . Aren't you worried about ? He seems pretty down.

Let's check on him before we leave this room. You must be tired. We've prepared a room for you, so please get some rest. E000520D Guest Room 4:10 You must go and help the king. We can manage here. We'll secure this area. Go on ahead. You...you should be able to go to the floor above us... Please...protect the king... If we climb up from here, we can make it to the window on the floor above us. You wanna go up, ? Let's go up. We don't need to. White porcelain pots, decorated in gold, adorn the gold-plated desk. Damn! The knights'll be finished if we leave them like this! We gotta do something! Stay strong, Diadem Knights! Show 'em your pride and skill! Thank you, .

You can get to the floor above us via that window.

We can handle things here now. You and your friends should go on up.

I found this in Magnus in the last battle. Take it and go! Wind Aura 1 No! The knights have been... Here they come! They should be able to manage on their own now.

I'm worried about the king. Let's move. E0005214 Bridge:11 Oh, Gibari, did you come to see the king? Surely he'll welcome you with all his heart. Please go in. Gibari, how's the king doing? We can't leave our posts, so all we can do is to ask for your help. I don't see Gibari with you, what happened?

Just between the two of us, I really envy .

I'd like to be able to move around freely as he does and protect the king. Standing here all the time is quite hard.

The clouds are really thick here, and our armor gets damp underneath. I've heard of your deeds. Please go in. I've heard a lot about you.

King Ladekahn has left for Anuenue and is absent at the moment, but please go in. Looks like the king is still okay. Hey, isn't that Lyude down there?

What is he thinking?

Just standing there isn't going to stop the army. Imperial Commander Listen up, Ladekahn!

Surrender peacefully, and the lives of your men and people will be spared. Ladekahn ... Head Knight My Lord, their words are not to be trusted!

I smell treachery! I await your answer. Surrender now, lest you doom your kingdom and people! The Emperor declares war on Diadem!

We will not allow you to take us by surprise! I must face them. My Lord! Please reconsider! Don't worry. I have no desire for martyrdom. They won't harm me.

Even the Empire follows a code of ethics. They are not to be trusted!! I will discuss the matter directly with Emperor Geldoblame.

This stalemate must come to an end. My Lord... Protect the castle while I'm away. Whatever the cost, My Lord. Good luck to you. It is I, King Ladekahn! I'm coming out. Hold your fire!! No! Don't go! He's coming out. You know what to do. Ayme Yes, thanks for allowing me the pleasure! Here I am!

Order your men to pull back, and take me to your Emperor. ... ...?! Hey! She's the one that... No!! Argh! My Lord!! Hold it right there, boys! Move a muscle and I'll blow a new hole in your precious king's head! You!!

The King came out alone, as promised! Why did you shoot?! Silence. The King must be disposed of...Emperor's orders. What?! That can't be true! Damn you! Is this the way of the Empire? The way of your Emperor, Geldoblame?! Shoot him! Put him out of his misery. You got it. You...you're missing his vitals on purpose, aren't you? The man is spewing out his last words. Might as well grant him a little glory.

So, where does His Lordship want to be shot next? Ah ah ah ah!! You?! Tell me, where? What the?! It's you!! Thought you could use some company. Retreat! Retreat!! Hey! Where do you think you're going? Let 'em go, kid! Follow me. E000521B Shrine of the Winds This must be an Interdimensional Crack. Could everyone be trapped on the other side?

I don't have time to think about this. , are you ready? We're going into this Interdimensional Crack. , are you ready? Yes No Okay, let's do it. All right, let's prepare then. This the place? You guys see anything? ... Hey, Gibari!! Lyude!! Lyude?! Snap out of it! ...! You?! Ayme I'll deal with you soon enough, Kalas.

Wait patiently like a good boy! I'll be back for you! Get back here! Lyude?! Great to see everyone back together! Yes, finally. I'm so relieved that we're all safe. So...what do you propose we do now, ? Let's go back to Anuenue first.

I want to let Queen Corellia, King Ladekahn and Lord Calbren know that I've found everyone. We also need to ask them about any new developments. Right. Let's move out. Time to kick some outer dimensional butt! Ladekahn On your word. Reblys Damn! The shield is still up! They'll never get in! Anna It's not working? Isn't there something we can do?! -- Anuenue : the Rainbow Nation -- E0005222 Sub World Lady Corellia's Palace isn't around here. Let's go back. -- Komo Mai, City of Flowers -- E0005229 Shop:00 Komo Mai Shop Attendant Conversation. E0005230 Outside(Harbor):01 So we'll be heading for Mira through the Trail of Souls. Are you ready to go? Let's go. Let's get ready first. Guess you have a point. We don't know what we'll be facing. Might as well be prepared. Right! Trail of Souls, here we come. Good luck! Come back safely! It's so amazing...I've never seen such an impressive ship! I wonder whose ship it is. I saw a fat man on board. I wonder if he's the owner.

I'd like to get onboard the ship, but I wouldn't want to be him... The Imperial ships look so cool! They've got great designs, and I love how they glitter in the sun.

I'd like to ride in one someday. On second thought, I don't want to get onboard an Imperial ship.

I'd probably get attacked and killed by monsters. We've been getting a lot of visitors from other nations recently.

Just before you came, an awfully important-looking man arrived in a very big ship. I heard a strange chasm has materialized near the top of the Celestial Tree.

Why does a stupid chasm have to appear and ruin our festive mood?! I see you folks around here quite often. You must really love festivals.

Even though the world is in great peril, you're still gonna party! I think you and I will get along just fine. Did you come for the Thirty Year Festival?

The festivities have already begun in Komo Mai, the town up ahead. The festival's still going on, strong as ever.

And why not? The Celestial Flowers are in bloom at long last! I rarely see Queen Corellia these days. I hope nothing bad has happened to her... Look at how endless the blue sky is! So, this is what it's like above the Taintclouds...

Here, no matter what sadness I experience...I think I'll be able to keep going on with a smile. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeak squeak. Squeeeeak. Squeak. Let's get on the Mindeer, ! Let's get on the Mindeer, . Let's ride the White Dragon, . Shall we ride the White Dragon, ? Okay, let's ride! Not now. Snake Tuba Explosive Paddle Let's take King Ladekahn's letter to Queen Corellia. The sooner, the better. ...... E0005237 Outside(Town):02 Shop Owner Wait! Hold on there! Terribly sorry. I didn't pay ya enough money. Here's what I owe ya. Thanks again! Come back when you've got more game to sell.

The monsters you bring in are always top of the line! ??? Right. Curious, are we?

She's a hunter living in the mountains. Popped up around six months ago, and found herself a home in Waterfall Village.

She doesn't talk much, and pretty much keeps to herself... But I can't complain. She's a damn fine hunter. The best there is, I tell ya. ... Hey, . Mind sticking around a little while? Don't just stand there. The best part of the festival is the dancing. Come on! At last, the Celestial Flowers are in bloom! Come on! Join our dance! Don't just stand there! Join us! Our dance is dedicated to the Celestial Tree, in hopes it will protect our city. If you think I'm only skilled at dancing, you're completely wrong.

You're looking at a finalist in the tournament to choose a member for the portable shrine show.

I'm a pro at carrying the portable shrine. Hey, I heard that you're looking for a shrine bearer for the big show. How about picking me?

You're looking at a finalist in the tournament to choose a member for the portable shrine show.

I'm a pro at carrying the portable shrine. I see. If you say so. Will you wait for a while until everything is ready? Gotcha! You can count on me! Okay, %s down, %s more to go. Okay. I've found six members! Yes! Now we'll be able to hold another portable shrine show!

Let's hurry and tell the old lady at the port the good news. Have you found the other members? Remember, we need four to carry the shrine and two to wave the banners. Keep dancing...if we're loud enough, the Celestial Tree may take notice of our wish!

Why in the heavens are you standing still?! Dance! Why do we hold this festival, you ask? Good grief, you really don't know?!

This festival's a celebration of the blossoming of the Celestial Flowers.

Don't dampen our fun with stupid questions like that! Leave me alone, okay? I'm really enjoying the festival right now. They're so beautiful. These are the Celestial Flowers...

I'm so thankful to be here...right now...to witness them. I love festivals! I love losing myself in the excitement!

You get what I'm saying? I'm sayin' don't kill my fun. Huh? I didn't catch you? The fate of the world rests in imbalance?

Does it really matter if one city in the world doesn't wanna be grim? Of course, I've heard the news. The Empire's invaded Diadem, right?

I say, "who cares!" The world can deal with its own problems, we're dealing with our festival. I'm way ahead of you. You want to tell me that the Celestial Flowers are in full bloom, right? No need for that. I was first in line to see them. I knew about it ages ago. The Celestial Tree is growing a nasty dark scar, right?

I say just leave it alone and it'll disappear in no time. Nothin' to worry about. Look at my arms. They're so damn sore...

I'm sure fighting to save the world is an enormous task.

But dancing non-stop can be punishing, too.

Oh, I know what you wanna say... Just don't tell me to stop dancing. Oh ho ho! Brings back memories. I danced like this thirty years ago, and another thirty years before that.

Of course the Celestial Tree didn't bloom during the last two festivals.

I hope we'll have better luck this year. Oh ho ho! It's wonderful. The Celestial Tree has bloomed!

I'm so glad I got to see the Celestial Flowers with my own eyes. Oh ho ho! I'm already starting to pray that the flowers bloom during the next festival.

I want my grandchildren and their children to experience this. I hear Malpercio's been revived. But this news shouldn't alarm us.

The Celestial Tree will protect the people of Anuenue for sure. This dance is dedicated to the Celestial Tree, the guardian of the people of Anuenue.

The tree has always watched over our country and protected us. It's thanks to our dancing that the Celestial Tree has bloomed. We've got to dance for the Celestial Tree and ask it to protect us, especially in these times. Why are festivals so much fun?! They really bring out our material greed.

Everything's starting to look so attractive! I'd say it's because of the festival magic! Hey you there. Will you loan me some money?

I suddenly realized my purse is empty. It must be because of the festival magic! I wonder why festivals always put us in the mood for long, meaningless chats with our friends.

We don't actually need to stay, but no one wants to leave. There's just something magical about it! Ha, ha, ha, ha!!! This is the second Thirty Year Festival for me! Ha, ha, ha, ha!

We owe our long lives to the Celestial Tree for watching over us.

Now, I just have to live thirty more years and witness the next festival! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! The blooming of the Celestial Tree must be a sign that I will enjoy good health.

I feel like I'm going to live long enough to witness the next festival! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I do laugh a lot, don't I? Why don't you laugh with me? Ha ha ha ha ha ha! A baleful ancient god? The cunning Melodia?

I'm not scared of them. If you laugh hard and long enough, there's nothing to worry about. Ha ha ha! Laughter makes the world go round.

My husband and I owe our happy lives to our constant laughter. Ha ha ha ha! Welcome! Feel free to take a look around.

What? You're not buying today? Don't say that. Spend your money like all the other young people! Have you been to the Palace?

It's almost time for Queen Corellia's portable shrine.

It's one of the highlights of the festival. You should really head over there. How was it? Did you get to see the portable shrine?

This was my second time watching the portable shrine, but I never get tired of seeing it!

I wish I were a little younger, then I could have helped carry it. The world is getting more and more dangerous every day.

I thought the blooming of Celestial Flowers foreshadowed a peaceful year...

If I were a little younger, I would be helping carry the shrine... whether they wanted me to or not! What? There's a chance I'll get to carry the shrine?

...

I understand...so it's for an old man.

If that's the case, I'll gladly lend a hand and help you guys.

Count me in, fellas. Don't worry. I'll do some exercises and get back in shape in no time. Geez, I can't say no to that kind of enthusiasm. You're in partner.

Get yourself in top shape while we're getting everything ready. You can count on me! I can hardly wait for the big show. I'm looking forward to carrying that baby again! Ouch. I had too much fun. My body's paying the price.

Still, I can't complain. I got to carry the shrine again. Travelers, don't just get caught up in the revelry of the festival. Komo Mai has other spots worth visiting.

I recommend you visit the School of Magic and Queen Corellia's Palace during your stay here. I'd say you're pretty lucky.

The Celestial Flowers only bloom once every thirty years, and sometimes not even that often.

You were able to witness a blooming that many long-time residents of this town saw with you for the first time. There's been some suspicious activity around the Celestial Tree?

I wonder what happened... Important dignitaries from many countries have gathered in Komo Mai.

To take part in the festival... I guess that's not their purpose for being here. Everyone is making such a racket; I'm just waiting for Queen Corellia to come out and scold everyone.

The Queen is usually very kind, but she's very strict when it comes to misdeeds.

If we get too carried away, we'll be scolded for sure... Now that the Celestial Flowers have bloomed, people are making an even bigger racket.

But who can blame them? I've come to revel in their majesty, too. Queen Corellia looks grumpy.

I knew it. All this racket that we've been making has made her very unhappy. Queen Corellia has gone away.

What should I do? I made quite a racket, too... What a shame... The adults have been acting like such children during this festival.

You should stay calm when you enjoy a historic festival like ours.

I, for one, am going to eat my Mountain Apple candy as a real lady would. The blooming of the Celestial Tree was just amazing.

It's everything I would have expected from a historic festival like ours.

I'll watch the Celestial Flowers as I eat my Mountain Apple candy like a real lady. This celebration has gone on for far too long. How much longer can people celebrate?

A historic festival is supposed to end before people get bored.

They should stop this festival before I finish eating this Mountain Apple candy. The adults are so hopeless. They'll keep celebrating unless someone stops them.

I suppose I have to become the adult and intervene. But to do so, I'll have to forget about the candies. Hee hee hee. I cut class to come here.

This festival's held only once every thirty years. What are they thinking, holding classes?! I'm glad I escaped from school to come here! It was worth it!

I saw the exact moment that the Celestial Flowers began blossoming.

I'll be the envy of my friends! I'll be the envy of those fools that stayed at school, he he he... I know it's too late now, but I'm starting to get worried.

I hope my teacher's not going to get too angry that I cut class to come to the festival... The ancient god's been resurrected?

What can I do about it? No one told me how to cope with this kind of stress at school. I came from Sheliak for the festival. With my dad, of course.

But I'm kind of disappointed. I find the festival kind of vulgar.

I wish I could show these people the quiet beauty of Sheliak or the austere magnificence of Elnath. I don't like this festival's general lack of good taste, but the Celestial Flowers were amazing!

Catching a glimpse of them alone made my trip worthwhile. I guess I'm glad I came. I want to go back to Sheliak, but dad says it's too dangerous right now...

Dad told me that the Empire's invaded my hometown... I can't believe it, but this city's grown on me. I've come to like it here. Crazy, huh? Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squ-squeak. Squeak. Healthy-looking yellow bananas are being sold on the open market.

Upon closer inspection, you notice something stuck underneath the banana basket. Bananas Healthy-looking yellow bananas are being sold on the open market. What's this? They sure seem to be enjoying themselves. Must be the Festival of the Celestial Tree.

There's a gigantic tree here. They say its flowers only blossom once every thirty years.

The people of Anuenue hold a huge festival to celebrate the year it blossoms. A timely arrival, I'd say. Yes, this must be it. To think they're having the time of their lives, with no knowledge of the coming crisis. Ignorance is bliss, I must say. Oh! Look at that! They're in bloom! The Celestial Flowers are in bloom! E000523E Palace In Front of the Magic School:03 So, what now? Going back empty-handed ain't an option. I agree. Finding the Emperor here wasn't exactly reassuring.

Despite what Queen Corellia told us, it seems likely that one of the End Magnus is indeed here. Maybe we could find it on our own. Humph...More volunteer work. What would you do, ? Let's look for it. Let's head back to Diadem. All right...if you say so, . So, where should we start looking? You read my mind, . The Queen can't help us, and we can't help her. Might as well head back. Wait a minute, I can't believe I'm hearing this!

We can't just sit here and do nothing! Court Lady You all look very troubled about something. What's the matter? Well...it's nothing, really. We're just...looking for something. Well, whatever you're looking for,

you could try visiting the Ancient Library of Magic.

It's been abandoned for quite a while...

but I hear one of the witches has gone back there recently.

I'm sure she could point you in the right direction. One of the witches? Are you sure? Sounds promising.

Where is this library? It's on the hill to the East of town. Just go along the road and I'm sure you'll find it. Hmm. It's the only lead we have. Might be a good place to start. Yes, let's. Thank you very much for your help. My pleasure. Let's get going. ??? ... Th-th-this is it!

I didn't think you'd find one. I really didn't...

All right. A promise is a promise. I'll bake them to the best of my ability. Wait here. Okay. They're finished! You've got yourself some legendary Komo Mai cookies! Komo Mai Cookies What? You brought me another Celestial Flower Seed?!

Hey, thanks a million. With this baby, I can bake some more of those legendary cookies.

I gotta return the favor somehow. I know, let me give you this. Doll Heave-ho! Heave-ho!!

*pant* *gasp*. I'm exhausted... Terribly sorry. We're at the pinnacle right now.

If you want to go in the palace, you'll have to come back later. Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Begone frustrating research! Oh, what fun this is!!!

Heave-ho! Heave-ho! The Celestial Tree's the symbol of Anuenue. That's why this festival is so important to us.

Let's celebrate the Thirty Year Celestial Festival together. Heave-ho! Heave-ho!! Hey, they're giving an interesting lecture at the School of Magic.

After you've enjoyed the festival, why don't you go there and build up your knowledge? How was the lecture at the School of Magic? Intriguing stuff, wasn't it? Now that the Celestial Flowers have bloomed, the festival is never going to die down.

Everyone is oblivious to the chaos in Mintaka...

I think we should pay more attention to the outside world. I heard the ancient god has awakened. I looked through the archives at the School of Magic, but there's no mention of such a god.

Just goes to show you that there are many things that people don't know yet. Even with the world in terrible crisis, the makeup exams will still take place as announced...*sigh*... Yipee!! I love festivals!! Yeehoo! Yeeehaw!!!! Wooohooo! Does everyone have to flaunt how much fun they're having in front of the School of Magic?!

I'm having enough trouble fighting the temptation to join them as it is. I've managed to resist so far, but... The racket outside's died down, but I still want to...

I've managed to resist this far into the festival...oh, but I really want to give up and join in the festivities. I managed to control the urge to take part in the festival, but now the Empire may attack us...

I couldn't concentrate on my studies before...But how on earth can I concentrate now?!

I can already see the red ink marking up my exam next week...*sigh*... The exam I took last week... I don't even want to think about it.

The resurrection of the wicked god has sent the world into turmoil, but I'm in a more serious crisis. In the end, I couldn't fight back the temptation of the festival... I indulged myself in worldly pleasures, turning my back on the studious reality of student life...

*sigh*...The more I play, the lower my grades... Hello merrymakers. Come on over and try some legendary Komo Mai cookies. Komo Mai cookies? No thanks. We're in a hurry, old man. Sorry, but we don't need any. Hmm? You don't need any?! But Komo Mai cookies are legendary sweets with a long and delicious history.

Never say I didn't offer you any. Oh, I see you've returned. You didn't come to buy some Komo Mai cookies now, did you? Actually, that's exactly why we've come back... Sorry about the other day. No need to hold grudges, right? Can I grab some o' them Komo Mai cookies from you now? Humph. Well, to tell you the truth, I was a bit offended last time, but all right...I can't say no to a customer.

However, unfortunately for you, I've run out of the necessary ingredients.

In order to bake Komo Mai cookies, a seed from the Celestial Tree is needed.

Those seeds are extremely rare. Komo Mai cookies aren't called legendary sweets for nothing, you know.

The bottom line is this: Bring me a Celestial Flower Seed, and I'll bake you a delicious cookie. You need a Celestial Flower Seed? No problem. I'll be right back. Hello there. Have you found any seeds? No Celestial Flower Seed, no Komo Mai cookies, you know. Say, where'd you get that Celestial Flower Seed?

I've run out of my personal stash that I inherited from my master and... Say, where'd you get this Celestial Flower Seed?

I've run out of my personal stash that I inherited from my master and... What kind of world do we live in, when nobody understands the value and deliciousness of Komo Mai cookies? You must be surprised by all this racket.

Everyone is too busy enjoying the festival to pay attention to the travelers.

Let me give you a quick tour. If you go straight, you'll reach Queen Corellia's Palace.

The stairs to your left and right will lead you to Anuenue's illustrious School of Magic. The Palace and the School of Magic are open to the public. Feel free to pay a visit to both. Are you surprised by how festive the town is?

Someone made a request to Queen Corellia to hold a portable shrine show.

We're very grateful to that person, though we don't know who it was. People who are willing to make an effort for the benefit of others will always be worthy of praise in my eyes. This portable shrine was designed in the likeness of Queen Corellia, a Fairy Guide who leads us all.

Her powers as a prophetess are considerable and her predictions have never proven false. I hear Queen Corellia is currently meeting with important guests.

You can try going to the palace, but I doubt you'll be able to meet her. Queen Corellia always has so much to think about. Things we would never think about ourselves.

All I know is that she cares deeply about the Sky, and her thoughts are always on its well-being. The Queen hasn't shown herself lately. This meeting she's holding must be very important. I can't wait till I'm old enough to help carry the festival's portable shrine.

Those who take part in carrying the portable shrine are selected the same year of the festival.

The next festival is thirty years from now, which means... I'll be too old to look good... Did you see how cool I looked? No one can carry the portable shrine like I can.

I better get out of here before I get mobbed by the ladies. The portable shrine show is the main event at the Thirty Year Festival, you know.

You have to really be somethin' to be chosen for such an important event, don't you think?

I'd have to say that, throughout the event's lengthy history, I'm the best there ever was. I better get out of here before I get mobbed by the ladies. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the Sky who's a better shrine bearer than me.

But since King Ladekahn's arrival in Anuenue, no one's been paying any attention to me.

I can walk the streets without girls flocking around me. What? Do I want to take part in another portable shrine show?

Ha ha! Absolutely!

But still... We need four members to carry it, and two to wave a banner.

I'm really good, but I can't do everything myself.

Find six members, including me, and I'll take part in the show. Okay, %s down, %s more to go. Okay. I've found six members! Yes! Now we'll be able to hold another portable shrine show!

Let's hurry and tell the old lady at the port the good news. In Anuenue's lengthy shrine-bearing history, I don't think there's ever been a man to match my talents.

I never expected to take part in the portable shrine show again. This'll be great! Hurry up and get the other members together! No one looks as dashing as I when under the portable shrine.

I'm back in business! No girl in town can resist me now. I envy the young people. They seem to be having a great time.

I saw a group of them jumping into the river for fun. I wonder where that group took off to. Sometimes I feel that someone—or something—is staring back at me from the river.

Young people were diving into the river just a while back... Ha ha ha...what am I saying? A red shoe was found downstream the other day.

I seem to recall one of the boys who jumped into the river during the festival was wearing red shoes...

Ha ha ha...what am I saying? This is the Palace of Queen Corellia, the eminent Fairy Guide.

You're free to enter, but you won't be granted an audience with the Queen without a proper letter. Oh, I'm sorry. I see you possess a letter of introduction.

I'm sorry to ask you this, but what kind of person is Queen Corellia?

To be honest, I've only seen her from a distance. This is the Palace of Queen Corellia. You are free to enter. Did you see the portable shrine?! It was so impressive!

I'm supposed to be on duty, but I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Have you met the principal of the School of Magic? She's a classmate of mine.

She excelled in her studies so much that she was elected principal at a young age. What's with the furrowed brow?

If there's something you want to know, why don't you ask the principal at the School of Magic?

The principal is the same age as me, but she's wise beyond her years. The old man living near the port has been really grumpy lately.

He was looking forward to the portable shrine show for so long, but he wasn't able to see it.

Poor old guy, the show's only held once every thirty years. The portable shrine show was great! I still have goose bumps from the excitement!

The old man from the port seemed to have enjoyed the show, too. I'm glad things turned out well for him. Hooray! Hooray for the portable shrine of Queen Corellia!

I thought I had missed my last chance to see this show...

Now that I got to see it, I'm so happy I could almost cry. These are tears of joy! Hooray! Hooray for the portable shrine of Queen Corellia! Look at my husband. He's enjoying the show like a little boy.

He's so happy. His face gives him away.

This was all made possible by you. Thank you for everything. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Shrine Bearers Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Hooray for the Celestial Tree! Hurray for Queen Corellia! Huh? What's this? We can't get through all this. We have no choice. Let's force them out of the way. We can't do that, Kalas! Let them enjoy their festival. Let's check some other places, and come back later. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squ-squeak. E0005245 House1:04 Good grief. How long is it gonna take her to clean the house?

The celebration has already begun in the city.

She might be my wife of fifty years, but if I miss the portable shrine show, I'll never forgive her. What? Queen Corellia's portable shrine show is over?

I've lived the last thirty years looking forward to this very day!

I feel so shocked and sad... I can't even cry. I haven't talked to my wife since she made me miss the portable shrine show.

She can apologize till she's blue in the face. I won't forgive her. I never expected her to do so much for me...

I'm a lucky man to have such a good wife.

Of course I'm also grateful to you. This is a token of my thanks. Rainbow Ash I'm a lucky man to have such a wonderful wife!

I saw the Celestial Flowers bloom AND the portable shrine show. I have a good feeling about this year! We hold the festival to show our gratitude to the Celestial Tree.

Tradition says that we should clean ourselves up, physically and spiritually, before attending the festival.

However, my husband seems to be preoccupied with Queen Corellia. Oh, why won't he behave... What? We missed Queen Corellia's portable shrine show?

That explains why my husband has been so cross lately.

Still, he's acting like a spoiled child... Ever since we missed Queen Corellia's portable shrine show, my husband won't even talk to me.

He's always throwing childish fits like this...I suppose I need to figure out how to make him happy again. Ever since we missed Queen Corellia's portable shrine show, my husband won't even talk to me.

I wish they would hold another show to celebrate the blooming of the Celestial Flowers...

If something doesn't appease him, he's going to carry this grudge to his grave. Let's help her. There's nothing we can do. Oh, well... Look, lady.

I'll ask Corellia to hold the portable shrine show again. Oh, so you're acquainted with Queen Corellia?

I suppose it's important not to judge a book by its cover. Kalas, that's so sweet of you! C'mon. Don't get all emotional on me. I'm sorry if I offended you. I'm counting on you, travelers. Okay. Let's go to Corellia's Palace and ask her to hold the portable shrine show again. My husband's just a big baby. Once he watches the show, he'll forget all about his grudge. You can watch the portable shrine show now, lady. Oh my! There really is going to be a portable shrine show?!

Thank you so very much! Let me quickly go and get my husband so we can watch it. Dear. Get ready. We're going to go see Queen Corellia's shrine show! ...

... What?! Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's hurry to the show then! Whatever you say, dear. My husband seems to be getting into a better mood. Thank you. Bamboo Grass Creel The pots are so well-polished you can see your reflection on their surfaces. There's something stuck in the cracks of this shelf. Auriga There's no longer anything useful here. E000524C House2:05 Judging from the noise outside, it seems the festival has begun.

You know, the festival's only held once every thirty years. Look at my kid. He's head over heels with joy. I heard the Celestial Flowers are in bloom. The festival's going to get really wild!

This is my first time seeing the Celestial Flowers, too. I'm going to dance till I drop. Let's dance! A festival should be loud and merry! My wife is worried that the Celestial Flowers have brought us bad luck.

I have to stay cheerful no matter what.

I can't start worrying like my wife. I don't want to worry my son, you know. No matter who or what's being faced, a man's gotta stay brave and protect his family! ...

My wife's starting to cheer up again. I can stop pretending to be brave now...

...

Actually, I danced too hard and my whole body aches. I can't move my neck an inch.

So...Can you please leave me alone. Look at my son, he's still got so much energy left...Makes me realize how old I've gotten. Come on, come on! What are we waiting for?!

If we don't hurry, the Komo Mai cookies will be gone! Come on, come on! What are we waiting for?!

If we don't hurry, the flowers will have wilted away! My father went to lie down! Are you gonna play with me now? Holding the festival is all well and good, but the Celestial Tree didn't even bloom the last two times.

I just hope this isn't a bad omen... I can't believe I was saying the Celestial Flowers could be a bad omen.

I saw the flowers with my own eyes. How could anything so beautiful be bad?

The Celestial Flowers are magnificent. They're anything but a bad omen. They say Emperor Geldoblame has passed away.

I can't believe this has happened to the Empire, the strongest of all five nations in Sky.

All this after the Celestial Tree's flowers bloomed... Oh, it's no use worrying.

I can't really believe that such beautiful flowers could bring unhappiness and suffering to the world.

I think the Celestial Tree has bloomed to protect us from our sorrows and fears. My husband says he feels sore from dancing too much.

He's such an idiot. Doesn't he know he's not a child anymore? An unfamiliar flower is growing here. Though you don't know its name, it has a calming effect. Water's been brought and stored here. It must be for the plants. E0005253 House3:06 Come to think of it, we were supposed to take some animals to Kaffaljidhma.

We can take a Fantail Duck, can't we, ? Come to think of it, we were supposed to take animals to Kaffaljidhma.

You think we should try to get a Fantail Duck from her, ? Let's ask her. I don't think we should. Let's ask her. No, let's just give up. Can I keep one of them? No way. I can't give you my ducks. They're my friends!

I'll give this to you instead. You better take good care of it. I wonder if these duckies know what's going on.

They've really gotten riled up since the festival started. Ever since the Celestial Flowers bloomed, they've just gone wild.

Maybe the Celestial Flowers have excited them somehow. All the adults are worried that something's not right with the Celestial Tree.

The Fantail Ducks seem to be more noisy than before.

I hope nothing bad has happened to the Celestial Tree. My grandma hurt her back the other day.

Since then I haven't even had spare time to walk my poor duckies...

I've heard stories about Azha salt doing wonders for an injured back.

But Azha salt is so expensive...

*sigh*...I won't be able to afford it with my small allowance. I'm such a bad granddaughter... Thank you very much! That was so kind of you! The festival? I'm not interested and I won't go.

The Celestial Flowers won't bloom anyway...They never do.

What good is a festival celebrating the Celestial Tree, if the Celestial Flowers aren't even in bloom? What? The Celestial Flowers have bloomed?

Oh, my! I can't just stand here. I've got to go pay my respects to the flowers! I thought the commotion outside was due to the festival, but apparently a young girl has taken over the Empire.

Well, I'm not interested in the Empire.

Me and my girl have our hands full tending to these ducks. We don't have time to worry about Mintaka. When I went to go see the Celestial Tree the other day, I hurt my back.

It's still hurting me... I feel so silly. I'm causing my granddaughter a lot of trouble. Huh? What's this? You want to give it to me?

I just heap it on over the sore spots, burn it, and this will cure my back?

You're very kind, I'm but a stranger to you. Here, let me give you something in return for your kindness. Deluxe Cookies I'm sorry I can't offer you something of more value. Please accept it as a token of my appreciation. You are certainly a kind young man.

I hope you'll always remember to respect your elders... There is only a thin layer of water left at the bottom of this well. Freshly-laid eggs are hiding amidst the moving flock of Fantail Ducks. E000525A Passage 1 Left:07 This is not good. I'm late for a lecture.

Should I pretend I lost track of the time? Should I apologize? Should I just go home?

I don't know what to do... I still can't make up my mind what I should do...Our teacher is very strict when it comes to tardiness. What? Am I still trying to decide what to do?

No... The teacher found me, so I'm being punished by standing here.

...I've been standing here for almost two hours and I'm still waiting to be forgiven...

My legs are so sore. I don't think I can stand here much longer.

Say. You look like you've got some time to kill. How about bringing me something to ice my sore legs?

I learned in class that there's something called "Snow" in Wazn.

If you bring me some, I'll give you something in return. Wow! This is Snow! It feels so cool and refreshing! Thanks. Light Flare Lv 5 Oh, the Snow feels so nice and cool. Thanks a lot. Ohh... I feel cold...*sniff*

Sorry to ask you this, but can you bring me something warm?

I learned from class that you can get a warm stone in a place called the Lava Caves.

If you bring me one, I'll give you something in return. Please help me. Aw...I'm so cold. I have a runny nose. I wish I had a warm stone... Hey, wait a second. That rock is WAY too hot!

Are you trying to burn me alive?

I don't need one that hot. I just want a warm stone.

Please bring me a stone that isn't too hot!

I want a warm stone. Something that's not too hot, not too cold. One that's just in between. I can feel my entire body warming up. Hehe...It's defrosting me. Thanks a lot! Erbschaft Phew...It's so warm. Thanks a lot. ...How long do I have to stand here? Hello. Did you come to this School of Magic to study, too?

The magic shield protecting the entire island has allowed Anuenue to maintain its neutral status.

Students can concentrate on their studies without being distracted by the affairs of the world. I hear the outside world's far from peaceful.

But don't worry. Anuenue's protected by a magic shield.

We're definitely safe here. The situation seems to have gotten worse. Malpercio...resurrected...

I'm not sure if the magic shield can hold back an ancient god. Graduates' names have been carved here. It must be some kind of a school custom. E0005261 Lecture Room 1 Left:08 What are you standing there for? Take a seat, now. Are you trying to disrupt my class?

You're wasting time for the entire class. Just get out of this room. Oh, it's you again. Do you have any intention of listening to my lecture?

If you don't, then just get out of here. You're wasting my students' time. Are you trying to disrupt my class? Just get out of here. What are you doing? Are you trying to disturb us? Hmm? You have a question?

The portable shrine show? Are you kidding? I don't have time for that. A teacher has to teach. Sir! Don't worry about us! We can study by ourselves. That's right. Teaching everyday must be tiring. You need a breather. I'd love to see your gallant figure under the shrine.

Besides, you won't get another chance to take part in the Thirty Year Festival's main attraction. Hmm... If that's how everyone feels... I suppose a breather would be nice... Okay, I've made up my mind. I'm pleased to join you. That's good to know! Thanks. Okay, %s down, %s more to go. Okay. I've found six members! Yes! Now we'll be able to hold another portable shrine show!

Let's hurry and tell the old lady at the port the good news. I've been feeling stressed out lately! I'm gonna let it all hang out at the show! Men who stop learning cease living.

Of course, I should worry more about death itself. I can't believe our teacher's been taken in by their smooth-talk.

Oh, how many lessons is this going to set us back... Hey, don't talk to me. I'm trying to take notes here.

This class is really popular and it's hard to take everything in. Please don't disturb me. I said don't disturb me.

Hurry up and take a seat! Hey! Look! You made me misspell a word!

And I didn't catch what the teacher just said! Hey. Do you have something against me?

I give up! I can't concentrate with you around! ... Hey, can you bother the guy sitting in front of me?

I'd be the top student in this class if it wasn't for him. Hey, good job. You really annoyed the guy sitting in front of me.

With your help, it looks like I'm gonna be the new top student.

Since you helped me rise to the top, I'd like to give you something in return. Magical Piggy Bank Hey, now you're bothering me. How about leaving me alone? Good old Sadal Suud... When you get to be my age, you'll be drawn to a quieter, simpler nation as well.

Anuenue is too festive and loud. It's a bit too busy for an old woman like me. I'd love to visit Mira, too... To forget the present and live in my past memories.

Anuenue's a little too busy. I'd like to retire to a quieter town. A student carrying an adventure novel? Let me think...

I did see a student putting something in the bookshelf, but I didn't get a look at the face. I heard battles are being fought every day outside of Anuenue.

Many of the other islands are rife with violence and war.

I made the right choice by staying in Anuenue. Hey, I would hurry up and take a seat if I were you.

Our teacher is a great lecturer, but he's also got a nasty temper. Look at what you did! The lesson is over because of you!

Do you know how long I've waited to get a seat in this class?! You idiot! I don't want to see your face anymore! Get out of my sight! From young to old, this School of Magic has left its doors open to all who want to learn.

Eminent scholars, street merchants, anyone can listen to a lecture here.

People of all stripes and colors gather here for knowledge. The subjects of study are endless. Do you know how to stop hiccups?

The secret is to drink a glass of water while leaning forward.

I wonder if I can use my useless knowledge to become a teacher. I hear they are paid nicely. I don't want to stay here. Maybe I should go to the portable shrine show to see my teacher. ...Don't tell anyone I told you this, but the principal's been frequenting the Library of Magic recently.

I hope she's okay. Only ghosts and ghouls wander around in that creepy place. The principal has been acting very odd recently.

...Don't tell anyone I told you this, but she's been seen frequenting the Library of Magic.

Is she possessed? Only ghosts and ghouls wander around in that creepy place. So that peace will carry on? What's that young teacher talking about?!

Anuenue's protected by a magic shield. It's always at peace.

Even if the Empire were to try to invade us, they couldn't breach the shield.

We don't need to pray to be protected. I've heard that the Empire is under attack by a young girl named Melodia.

Anuenue's fully protected by a magic shield.

No matter what that little girl Melodia tries against us, we won't fall like the Empire. I saw the girl who was sitting behind me store something in that locker over there.

Bread crumbs, wet bathing suits, everything is just tossed about here and there.

That girl is so disorganized. I'm worried about what she left in her locker this time. So, the ancient god Malpercio has been resurrected.

Oh, don't worry. Anuenue's protected by a magic shield.

We're completely safe no matter what the ancient god tries to do. I made the right decision to come from Diadem to study abroad here.

It's true what they say about the School of Magic. The variety and depth of the lectures are unbelievable! Huh? The girl who sat next to me?

She said she was bored with the lesson and left.

Now that she's gone, I can concentrate on the lecture more. Now, it's time to focus! You really ought to stop wandering around and study, too. Once the war is over, my guess is that engineers will be in demand.

I've got to study hard and build up my skills while I'm still a student. I came all the way here to study abroad with my boyfriend, but it's just so boring.

What's that guy mumbling about anyway?

I really want to go home! That lecturer might not be a magician, but he sure knows how to cast one spell well: Sleep!

Argh! I want to go home, take a shower, and then have a nice nap! I can't possibly eat any more... Zzzzz... A test paper is among the text books. Most of the answers on it are marked wrong. The shelf appears to serve as a reference book library. It doesn't seem very popular. The shelf appears to serve as a text book library. It appears popular among forgetful students. This is a student's locker. You find a wet bathing suit inside. You see a student's locker. Inside, you find a textbook covered with drops of drool, most likely from a sleepy student. This is a student's locker. You find a moldy piece of bread inside. Chronos Blow 2 Teacher There are five continents in all, each of them an island nation floating in the Sky.

The ancient land of Sadal Suud. Diadem, Land of the Clouds. Our very own Anuenue, The Rainbow Nation. Mira, City of Illusion. And Alfard, Empire of the Flame.

All have prospered as independent states, giving birth to unique and varied cultures. There were a number of border skirmishes in years past, yet none of them ever led to large-scale wars among the islands.

Our forefathers have toiled hard to keep the peace that we enjoy today. Let us offer a prayer, that this peace should last forever. E0005268 Laboratory 1 Left:09 Teacher Have any of you heard the legend of the Ocean? May I help you?

Did I see anyone come in carrying a book? Why yes...just a minute ago, a student carrying a book was fumbling around the bookshelf on the left. I can't even imagine this island existing on the ground.

How can I teach students what I can't even imagine myself?

I don't think a person like me is qualified to teach. I can't talk to you right now. This novel I'm reading is completely riveting.

What book am I reading? Why should I tell you?

Will you leave me alone if I tell you? It's an adventure novel titled "The Wizard of Opu."

Okay, I've told you the title, now please leave me alone. Shhhhh! Wasn't I clear enough the first time? People come here to read their books in peace.

You're acting like a little kid, you know. Please have some manners. Mixed among student watercolor paintings and charcoal drawings, you find an adventure novel. Art books are stored on the shelf. The pages with images of nude women seem unusually well-thumbed. A few still-life drawings are hanging here. They must have been drawn by students. They're not very pleasing to the eye. You find something underneath one of the oil paintings. Sweetheart Picture Oil paintings are on display. Maybe they were made by students as class projects. They're not very good. Continents at the bottom of the Sky.

Water covering the land.

Somewhat hard to imagine, isn't it? E000526F Passage 2 Right:10 Beautiful... I'm amazed by your beauty.

The magic mirror might say that Queen Corellia is the most beautiful woman in the world.

But I, for one, would say you're the most beautiful woman in the world, honey. What's that supposed to mean? Are you trying to hit on me?! Can't you come up with something more original? The Celestial Tree seems to have bloomed outside.

The transparent Celestial Flowers dancing in the blowing wind is... a beautiful sight...

...But the image of you—dancing in my eyes—is even more beautiful than those flowers.

A solitary flower in bloom in my heart...That is you. More beautiful than the Celestial Flowers? You must be flattering me. Flatter you? I'm just being honest and telling you how I feel. You're very beautiful. Even if the world should end now, my love for you will last forever.

I need you and only you. I'm sure of it... I've never felt like this before. I'm very flattered to hear those sweet words from such a charming man. I don't know...what to say... ...You! I know you say those things to every girl you meet! You sleazebag! You're a pestilence to womankind. Feel the spite of a deceived woman! You sleazebag! You're a pestilence to womankind! No! That's a... I'm serious now. Just let me explain myself. Hmm. I'm impressed that you crossed the Sky to study in Anuenue.

Whatever your interest, all types of subjects can be studied here.

Best of luck with your studies. I'm impressed.

Whatever your interest, all types of subjects can be studied here.

From groundless rumors to world affairs, if you seek knowledge, this is the place to find it. Greythorne Squeak... Meemai Squeak? The clock hands are racing around in circles. You feel much older just staring at their rapid movements. E0005276 Lecture Room 2 Right:11 Are you new students?

As you can see, the lesson has already begun. Please take your seats immediately. Are you students in the remedial class?

As you can see, the lesson has already begun. Please take your seats immediately. Speaking of the mysteries of the world, "Wings of the Heart" are a very curious thing.

People say that in Alfard, they use mechanical substitutes for their wings.

It makes me wonder if our wings are really necessary. Speaking of the mysteries of the world, what are the Taintclouds, anyway?

Unlike the non-toxic clouds found in Sadal Suud or Diadem, inhaling the Taintclouds can sometimes be lethal.

Why do such noxious clouds exist? Where's the student who was making all that noise over by the right bookshelf?

He didn't seem to check out a book. His actions were very suspicious.

Now I can't concentrate on this remedial lesson of a remedial lesson because I'm curious! I've really been thinking about the mysteries of this world.

...That may be the reason why I'm taking the remedial lesson for the remedial lesson.

The way things are going, I can't afford to keep thinking about these mysteries.

But now, news of the ancient god's resurrection is stuck in my mind, and I can't focus on the lesson.

Unless someone defeats this wicked god, I'll never get out of this endless circle of remedial lessons... The remedial lesson for the remedial lesson for the remedial lesson for a remedial lesson...

How deep in remedial lessons can a student go? Now I'm becoming interested in that, too. Once this class is over, I can finally attend the festival!

The Celestial Tree Festival is only held once every thirty years. This will be my first festival!

Aw. I can hardly wait! The Celestial Tree Festival is only held once every thirty years. This will be my first festival!

But now I have to go attend a remedial lesson. I really want to go to the festival! Did you hear that? The land of the witches?!

I used to dream of becoming a young witch and helping people in trouble.

Hey what's with the face? Are you trying to say I'm not young anymore?! I wonder what's in the locker on the right.

It's always been locked and no one knows what's inside of it.

Oh, if only I were a young witch, I would unlock it with a flick of my magical wand.

...Excuse me? Do you have a problem?

Are you trying to say I'm no longer young, physically or mentally?! Watch it. Rumor has it that some travelers visited Wazn recently.

I wonder if a lot of young witches live in Wazn...

Oh, how I wish I could live there. Excuse me? What's with the face?

Are you trying to say that I'm too old to be a "young witch," or to even dream about it?! Did you hear that? The land of the witches?!

I used to dream of becoming a young male witch and helping people in trouble.

Hey, what's with the face? Yeah, you're right. What am I saying?! Have you heard the rumor about the Celestial Tree?

A black hole has inexplicably opened up near its peak.

They say it leads to a faraway place and that, once you enter it, you can never come back. Did you hear the gossip about the principal?!

She's been seen frequenting the Library of Magic on the outskirts of town, carrying a very large book!

Apparently, she's studying black magic and is trying to put a death curse on someone.

If you value your life, you should stay away from that place. "I hope that someday, someone among you will unravel this mystery..."

Those were quite inspiring words spoken by our teacher.

All right. When I grow up, I'll be the one who solves the mystery! Something has been wrong with the Celestial Tree ever since the Celestial Flowers bloomed.

When I grow up, I'm gonna solve what ails the Celestial Tree and all the other mysteries of the world! A resurrected ancient god has been seen somewhere in the Sky.

When I grow up, I'm gonna solve the mysteries of the world and the mystery of the ancient god! Why doesn't our teacher solve the mystery herself and tell us the answer?

I'm kind of troubled by her unreasonable expectations... The kid next to me is making quite a fuss, but the strange occurrence at the Celestial Tree is just a black mist, right?

I don't see what harm it does to us. Why should I care about it? The kid next to me is making quite a fuss, but the ancient god is Malpercio, right?

I overheard the principal talking about this ancient god.

Since he's famous enough to leave behind a name, I think someone's already researched and solved the god's mystery. Hey. Will you do me a favor?

See that girl sitting to my right?

Will you...Umm...tell her... I think she's cute...

Umm... Well...I know I should tell her myself...but...

I'm afraid she's gonna turn me down, so I ended up asking you like this.

Aw...there's gotta be some way for me to tell her my feelings. Huh? You think this lame pickup line is really gonna work?

Hmm, I guess I haven't got anything better, so I'll give it a try. Oh! This is one sweet pickup line! This is gonna win her heart for sure! Hey thanks! Once this lesson's over, I'll try your pickup line.

Come back later and I'll tell you if the line worked. Oh, it's you. Thanks a lot. That pickup line you gave me didn't work at all...

She told me she's not the least bit interested in me!

Ha ha ha, ha ha... Life can be so cruel... Oh, it's you. Thanks a lot. That pickup line you told me did the trick!

She said she's gonna take the same classes as me every day! Thanks a lot!

Here's a present for being our matchmaker. Zeit Robe Still, there is one problem... She's kinda married... The man sitting on my left told me he likes me!

You've been my everything since the day I saw you...

What a fantastic pickup line. Hey, do you see the man sitting on my left?

Will you tell him something for me?

"I couldn't help but notice you staring at me...Please stop because you're creeping me out." Did you see the Queen's portable shrine? My brother was one of the bearers! Isn't that cool? Did you see the Queen's portable shrine? My brother was one of the bearers! Isn't that cool?

When I grow up, I want to become a shrine bearer just like my brother. The portable shrine's okay, but the real treat of the festival is the food!

Mountain Apple candy, Komo Mai chili, Opu cookies, and Celestial drinks. There's so many delicious choices! Festive dancing might help refresh the over-studied student's brain, but I prefer the festival food!

Mountain Apple candy, Komo Mai chili, Opu cookies, and Celestial drinks. There's so many delicious choices! Woman with a Bracelet Oh! What is that title?! I'm looking for a book that the head of this classroom borrowed from the Library of Magic.

I forgot the book's title though, and all the books around here sound the same to me. Oh, why can't I remember that title? What was it called?

Introduction to Magic? Idiot's Guide to Magic? Teach Yourself Magic in 1 Week?

No, none of those are right. I should have taken more time to memorize it from the diary in the director's room at the Library of Magic. Oh...What is that title?! What was the name of that book?! How could I forget it...

What? You know what it is? Falcon's Theorem by Magic Integration? That does sound sort of familiar...

Hmm...Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for a book with that title. Let's see... Have I checked this shelf already? Argh! Don't talk to me right now!

Unlike my brother, who's currently searching the Library of Magic, I don't have a very good memory! Falcon's Theorem by Magic Integration? That's it! That's the name! Thank you! Falcon's Theorem by Magic Analysis? So, it's not integration but analysis. Thank you.

We don't need the book anymore? Huh? What do you mean? My brother's already found it?!

I see. That means I can stop my search at the School of Magic. Whew. I'm tired. Come to think of it, what can I do for you? Tulun My brother and I are looking for our missing father, Tumart. He seems to be lost in the Illusory Fortress.

I've gone through shelf after shelf of ancient documents, but I still don't know how to get into the Fortress.

I'll let my smart brother find our father, and go pay my last respects to Grandfather. Pherkad, you said? I'll let my smart brother find our father. I should be able to see my husband and son at my grandfather's.

How rude! I will have you know that I am a married woman! I do live apart from my husband, though. Argh! Stop it! Don't let me see other stuff! You're confusing my memory even more! I said stop it, didn't I? I'm trying to find something you know. Falcon's Theorem by Magic Integration, Falcon's Theorem by Magic Integration, Falcon's Theorem by Magic Integration...

Falcon's Theorem by Magic Derivation? Close! But wrong. I wonder if such a book really even exists. I said don't show me other stuff! How many times do I have to tell you?! I'm trying to find something! Quzman? He's my grandfather. What? He's dying? That's urgent! Why didn't you tell me before?!

I'll let my smart brother find our father, and head to Quzman's house right away! You want me to sign here? Geez, all that hard work for a useless book! Darn it! He could have tried to tell me earlier! Three Tenents of School of Magic

Bathe regularly. Brush your teeth well. Use Shampoo (and conditioner). Something is stuck in between the books. Secret Recipe 3 Romance novels and mystery novels are stacked neatly on the shelf. This is a student's locker. Female gym clothes and a recorder are carelessly jammed into it.

Upon closer inspection, you notice something else among the mess. Black Scepter This is a student's locker. Female gym clothes and a recorder are carelessly jammed into it.

The temptation is understandable, but... An unlocked padlock dangles before the locker.

A small mountain of test papers are stored in the locker. Most of them say "0" in red ink. This is a student's locker. It's been locked with a padlock and can't be opened.

Perhaps someone among us here today will someday find answers to these perplexing questions. E000527D Laboratory 2 Right:12 Among all the schools in the five islands, you would be hard-pressed to find a school with better facilities.

Anuenue is truly the academic center of the Sky. All the foreign students who study here provide proof of this fact. If you were stuck in a room doing research all day, you'd begin to long for some physical activity, too.

I thought the festival would be a great chance to get out, but I've been too busy to go at all.

I don't know when I'll get my next chance to go outside...

I should have ignored my work and joined the festival. What? Do I want to be a shrine bearer?

You can't be serious. I don't think a frail bookworm like myself can carry the shrine.

You want me to become a banner waver then? Hmm...

Since you seem somewhat desperate... If I only have to wave a banner, I can help you out. Really? Thanks. We're counting on you. I'm glad you're happy. It's exciting for me, too.

Now that I've committed to it, I won't let you down. Let's make it the greatest show ever! Okay, %s down, %s more to go. Okay. I've found six members! Yes! Now we'll be able to hold another portable shrine show!

Let's hurry and tell the old lady at the port the good news. I'll find books on the festival and learn how to wave banners beautifully.

Since I've committed myself to this job, I want to do my best. So? How was I? Were you impressed by my banner-waving?

Practicing beforehand really paid off.

I had a wonderful time. I want to take part in the show again at the next festival. Oh... I'm still too excited from the festival to focus on my research. This green liquid... Can you guess what it is?

It's been here since the School of Magic was first established. No one knows what it is, though.

I suppose there's always some mystery involved with a facility that has a long history.

I'm very curious about how it smells, how it tastes.

Is there no one brave and curious enough to taste this unidentified bubbling green liquid? Ha ha ha! Oh, you're killing me! Ha ha ha!

I was really curious about that flask. But now, I finally know. Thanks for the comic relief!

For making me laugh so hard, I want you to have this. Silkworm So, how does it smell?

What? It smells delicious? Well then, why don't you taste it next? Come on, you've built up too much suspense! You have to taste it now! That was so funny! Thanks for making me laugh so hard! I needed to go to Opu Village the other day, so I reluctantly went through the Holoholo Jungle.

I never expected that jungle to be so deceptive. It seems I was just walking in circles on the same path.

To make it through that jungle, you'll need to take the Landmark Stone with you. The principal has one, I think.

I wasn't able to get to Opu without that thing... I wonder how many Landmark Stones the principal has.

She's been passing them out left and right to whomever asks for one.

I heard she recently obtained a strange book of magic.

I wonder if the book shows you how to transform ordinary pebbles into Landmark Stones. They say there used to be a huge pool of water called the "Ocean" that covered the Earth.

No matter how hard I try, I can't imagine what it was like.

I can't even imagine that the islands weren't in the Sky at one point. You can't make new discoveries unless you venture out of your everyday comfort zone.

That's what studying is all about. As long as you're bound to a single reality, you discover nothing.

But, islands not floating in the Sky? It sounds like a joke to me... Indeed. I am the principal here at the School of Magic.

Huh? You look surprised. Is it my young age?

Scholarship is not determined by age. If there's something you want to know, feel free to ask me. Indeed. I am the principal here at the School of Magic.

I knew you'd come. Actually, I know everything.

You wish to travel through the Holoholo Jungle to get to Opu, don't you?

Take this Landmark Stone. It will enable you to get through the jungle.

Huh? That look. You don't believe me. Don't take me lightly just because I'm young.

Go now. Landmark Stone Indeed. I am the principal here at the School of Magic.

With this Landmark Stone, you won't be deluded in the Holoholo Jungle.

Go now. Indeed. I am the principal here at the School of Magic.

Queen Corellia has asked me to investigate the End Magnus.

The full resources of our school will be used to aid this investigation.

Hmm? You think I'm arrogant, don't you?! Look at me like that and I'm not going to help you. Indeed. I am the principal here at the School of Magic.

Hmm? You look like you want to ask me something.

I know it. You don't have to speak. You're after the Book of Magic mentioned in Anuenue's legends, aren't you?

I'm sorry. I can't lend it to you, as I'm working with it right now.

Exposing myself to considerable risk, I brought the book back from a monster-infested library...

If you want to borrow it, bring me the adventure novel that I was in the middle of reading.

I left the room for a moment, and came back to find someone had taken the novel away.

People always play pranks on me!

Bring me my unfinished adventure novel and I'll lend you the Book of Magic for a while. Ah, that's it! That's exactly the adventure novel I was reading!

Okay. A promise is a promise. Here...I'll let you read the Book of Magic.

However, I'm reading it by order of Queen Corellia herself.

You can read it, but I can't have you taking it outside.

I only permit you to read it at the table over there, where I can observe you. Agreed? Great How stingy... You, over there! Yes! You with the mask! I heard you!

Consider yourself fortunate you have permission to even touch the precious Book of Magic. Since I was almost finished with the book, I'm anxious to know how it ends!

People always play pranks on me! Students think it's funny to pull pranks on me, being as young as I am.

The book should be somewhere in this school! You cannot begin to imagine how valuable it is...

It contains the wisdom of wizards a thousand years dead... Indeed. I am the principal here at the School of Magic.

Hmm? I see that you have unraveled the secret of the Book of Magic.

...I feel a little envious, but I'm glad it was helpful. So, Ms. Principal. Is this that Book of Magic that Corellia was talking about? It's pretty busted up. Yes. The principal is right. I sense a strong magical energy emanating from it. This is the one. I see... So, what is this book for? !! Strange energy emanates from the Book of Magic. The letters of its cover begin to radiate with blue light, and the room shines brightly. Coughdrops for kids. The bottle is labeled, in neat handwriting, "For Principal Only." It's a bottle of cold medicine, non-drowsy. The bottle is labeled, in neat handwriting, "For Principal Only." An unknown green liquid is boiling inside a very big conical flask. Let's taste it. Let's smell it. Leave it alone. ... Yuck! ...

Damn... I thought it might taste better than it looks. But it tastes as bad as it looks.

Ugh! Yuck! I thought I was gonna keel over and die! Hey, give me a break. I'll never try that again! That's suprising. It doesn't smell half-bad. Are they conducting an experiment? An alcohol lamp is lit. E0005284 Passage in the Palace:13 Hey kid! Where do you think you're goin'? You're going to see Doctor Larikush, aren't you? We'll go with you. But this has nothing to do with you... It must be about Gramps... Precisely. I'm curious as to what the famed engineer, Doctor Georg, was working on for the Empire. Great You could get in bad bad trouble.

The Great should watch over you! It's really none of my business what you've gotta do, but going at it alone is out of the question. I...don't know what to say... Say "Let's go!" Queen Corellia is in the audience room, just beyond these stairs.

May I ask to see your letter of introduction? Forgive my insolence. I did not realize you carried a private letter from King Ladekahn.

Please come in. Queen Corellia has headed for Cor Hydrae Castle to watch over everything. Queen Corellia is in the audience room. Imperial ships were seen heading for Sadal Suud and Diadem...

Has the peace between these nations and the Empire fallen? I've heard the Empire is in turmoil following its recent loss of Emperor Geldoblame.

Who is this girl "Melodia"? The forces of darkness have begun showing signs of activity.

We must remain vigilant. We guards may be called to battle any time now. It's a festival that only occurs once every thirty years. Palace guards, court ladies, it doesn't matter.

Everybody just wants to be merry and celebrate! It's a pity the Celestial Tree couldn't have bloomed at a more peaceful time...

Under these circumstances, it's hard to fully enjoy the festival. Considering the current world situation, will any of us live to see another Thirty Year Festival? Finally this year, we are celebrating the Thirty Year Festival.

Has the celebration already begun in the streets?

Damn this duty. I really want to join in on the celebration! I can't believe it!

The Komo Mai cookies I've been looking forward to are all sold out...

Why was I assigned guard duty the day of the festival?

Oh...I would settle for some Pow milk yogurt, the perfect complement to Komo Mai cookies. What? You brought me Pow milk yogurt?

That's awfully kind of you! Pow milk yogurt is a Sadal Suud specialty, isn't it?

I missed out on the Komo Mai cookies, but you've just made my day with this gift.

I'd really like to give you something nice in return. But this is the best I can do right now. Sagitta I don't think this is enough.

I'll prepare a nicer present. Next time you stop by Anuenue, please look me up. Don't forget to stop by, so I can give you that special gift. Hello. I've been expecting you. Here. This is for you. Fairy Barrette I'm grateful to you. I can concentrate on my job, thanks to you. This is Queen Corellia's room.

You may enter, but please refrain from touching anything.

Visitors are especially warned not to approach the shelf beside the Queen's bed.

Understood? Please stay away from the shelf. This is Queen Corellia's room.

Visitors are allowed to enter it, but are asked to refrain from touching anything. Wonderful view, isn't it? The view from here is one of the most beautiful in all the Sky.

...Sorry if I seem boastful. Anuenue is my home, and sometimes I just can't help but feel proud. I've been hearing nothing but bad news these days.

Even if the world becomes ruined and ugly, I hope this beautiful view remains untouched forever. In some ways, I feel sorry for the portable shrine.

I wonder how it feels to be cooped up in darkness, and only be able to see the light of day once every thirty years.

I don't think the Celestial Tree would mind...I hope they give the shrine another chance to be carried. I overheard your conversation with Queen Corellia... and...

Will you let me wave the banner during the show?

If another portable shrine show is going to be held, I don't want to miss taking part in it. Please! How can we turn down someone as motivated as you? Wave that banner! Really?! Thank you! I'll do my best! Great. Good luck. Thank you! Okay, %s down, %s more to go. Okay. I've found six members! Yes! Now we'll be able to hold another portable shrine show!

Let's hurry and tell the old lady at the port the good news. We're going to have another portable shrine show! Both the shrine and the Celestial Tree will be happy! I was planning on watching the show from as close as possible...

I didn't realize I'd be waving the banner!

I'm thrilled to have been so close to the shrine. You must be travelers from abroad.

Very important guests are staying at the palace. Please be on your best behavior. Oh, I'm soooo busy. First, I need this paper signed by Queen Corellia, then...

Excuse me, what did you say? You think I look busy?

Well if you think so, I'd appreciate it if you'd leave me alone. Oh, it's you again. You're a familiar face around here these days. You know I'm busy, don't you?

I'm so busy my head is spinning.

So, please leave me alone to do my work. They say you're friends of Queen Corellia, fighting to save the world.

All a little woman like me can do is cheer you on. I wish you the best. Wow! I can't believe how different things are above the Taintclouds! I'm amazed! Kee is really the best! I believe in you, Great Mizuti! will save the world.

You can count on me, too! I can help in all kinds of ways... like helping the injured soldiers. Kee's Father Kee seems to have gone back under the Taintclouds. Something about helping ...

You don't need to worry about him. He's a young man now. He went back down because he was confident he could take care of himself.

In a way, I'm glad he went back down. It shows me that he's grown up enough to make his own decisions. Thank you, . I'm sorry, Kee seems to have caused you more trouble than help in the past.

But he seems to have learned his lesson.

When I looked in his eyes, they were shining bright as ever. Kee's Mother My son seems to have gone under the Taintclouds.

He's not alone. He's with 's parents and the Great Kamroh.

I'd been assuming that he was up here, safe with the others... I'm glad everyone's safe. Thank you, .

But I never expected Kee would do such a thing. I thought he was only a kind but very naive boy.

A child can grow up fast, without his parents even noticing that he's become an adult. I can't help being sentimental and thinking of him as a child. Koh Your mother talks like that, but deep down she understands you.

You can call yourself Great , if you like. Be strong, as a Child of the Earth.

Still, I'm worried about you. , sometimes you try to do more than you can handle. Kay , you tend to get carried away.

But remember we're always proud of you, .

Always be true to yourself. You're our pride and joy! Great Kamroh What a wonderful view.

We need your help in preventing this world from falling into darkness.

The final battle will soon begin. Good luck. Krumly We've made it above the clouds at last, but I feel a little uneasy.

To tell you the truth, I haven't spoken with any people of the Sky, yet.

I umm...Do you mind if I stay here from now on? Greythorne Squeak squeak. Meemai Squ-squeak. Squeeeak. Squeak. Where are you thinking of going, ?

They're waiting for us in the audience room. Let's go. No. This is a personal matter. We'll leave here alone. Lush green spreads as far as the eye can see. It must have taken eons for such a spectacular view to develop. Calm your spirit and listen carefully to catch the faint sound of leaves blowing in the wind, and the soothing sound of various animals off in the distance. The view alone fills your heart with a profound peace. Geldoblame That !! I never imagined he would be alive!

...Kill him! Do whatever it takes.

If left alone, he will prove a threat to my Empire. ??? As you wish...And what should be done about the End Magnus presumed to be on this island? Fool. Lower your voice.

Anuenue's magical shield is powerful enough to curb any frontal assaults...

And there is little hope of Corellia agreeing with my plans... No matter. Concentrate on eliminating that winged mongrel.

I will consider alternative approaches to securing this particular End Magnus... As you wish, Your Magnificence. But why would that girl be here?

It is not like Giacomo to fail me thus...

What could he be up to? ... Will you do me a favor, ? I need to go to Cebalrai...

To see Larikush.

If he really did work with Gramps,

he probably wants to tell me something about those days.

This is a personal issue so I don't plan on getting Xelha and the others involved.

Are you with me? Okay, if you say so. No, we shouldn't. All right. No, we shouldn't act alone. But I can't stop thinking about the letter, .

I've gotta find out.

Don't worry, we'll come right back. I'm going whether you like it or not. I knew you'd say that. Thanks, . Let's go. E000528B Guest Room in the Palace 1:14 When I was cleaning Queen Corellia's room, I tripped over a shelf beside her bed.

Something that looked like seeds fell off the shelf...

I've worked at this palace for fifty years and I've never made such a blunder. Still, I wonder what the seeds were for. When I was cleaning Queen Corellia's room, I tripped over a shelf beside her bed.

Something that looked like seeds fell off the shelf...

Those seeds may be the secret to her youthful beauty...

That's why she hid them there... Alas! Why am I telling such things to a stranger?

I've worked at this palace for fifty years and I've never made such a blunder. Catranne Hellooo, how are you doing?

My sisters are traveling around the world to prepare for the battle against Cor Hydrae.

I was ordered to stay behind in the Palace.

But I know lots of interesting things. Would you like to hear about them? Didn't we just hear about these "interesting things," ? Let's hear about them again. Yeah, we already heard what she knows. Let's hear about them again. Yes, we already heard what she knows. All right, Catranne, tell me again. Okey-dokey. What do you want to know? About Sadal Suud. About Diadem. About Anuenue. About Mira. About Alfard Empire. About Wazn. About the Children of the Earth. I don't have any interesting information about Sadal Suud at the moment. They say the legendary "Master of the River" has been spotted near Nashira. This appearance could be due to the emergence of Cor Hydrae.

A fisherman's weapon is supposedly lodged into its back. Ummm. I haven't heard about the legendary Master of the River lately. Oh, that... I kinda already crushed that beast. What?! I'll record that in my diary. Catranne's diary says: The legendary Master of the River actually existed, and was crushed by . A Forbidden Book of Magic, filled with ancient wisdom, is said to exist somewhere in Anuenue.

If Your Majesty could find it, the book may prove to be very helpful for you.

A Book of Magic...I'd think the School of Magic is involved in some way with an item like that... Your Majesty...I'm sorry to report that I don't any new leads concerning the Forbidden Book of Magic. Oh, I found that book at the School of Magic, and learned a wonderful spell from it. Catranne's diary says: The Forbidden Book of Magic was found at the School of Magic,

Her Majesty Queen found the book, and learned a useful spell from it. There's a rumor that a phantom ship, similar to the Battleship Goldoba, is floating through the Trail of Souls.

People say they've heard ghosts crying out from within... ...Gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. What makes it even more spooky is that the ghosts are calling out a name...

They're calling for "."

Hmm, since it's a phantom ship, you'll probably have to be on a ship yourself to encounter it.

I'm not sure you'd want to though. Ummm. I haven't heard about the Phantom Goldoba lately. I wonder what happened... The Phantom Goldoba? I was on that ship. It was a horrible experience. Catranne's diary says: The Phantom Goldoba was adrift, but was cast away by . Villagers in the desert there have been surrounded by hideous monsters.

We'd like to send additional help to their village, but we have our hands full with other things right now.

Currently the Mad Wolf Unit is protecting the village, so nothing bad has happened so far... Ummm. The people of Azha are said to have been saved from the desert. I wonder what happened to them. We relocated them to a safe place. Catranne's diary says: The people of Azha were saved, and led to a safe place

by . Both our castle and town are all right, Your Majesty. Nothing much has happened back home. There's nothing to worry about. Oh yes, some of the Children of the Earth are still beneath the Taintclouds.

From what I've heard, the Great Kamroh, and someone named Krumly. Oh, and also a boy named Kee.

They went to Zosma Tower to restore the Ring of Sorcerers. Ummm...I wonder what happened to the Children of the Earth who went to Zosma Tower... Great Kee and the others be already back safely. The day be saved once again by the Great . Catranne's diary says: The Children of the Earth were rescued from

Zosma Tower. They are safe, thanks to . Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Squeeeeak. Half-eaten fruits have been carelessly left across the table. The fruits look very ripe. Glimpses of a Magnus can be seen among the fluttering leaves. Flower Bud The plant appears extremely healthy. Someone's been taking good care of it. The leaves of the plant appear very, very green in the bright sunlight. There's something underneath the ripe fruit. Strawberries There's too much fruit for one person to handle. It looks ripe and very delicious. Every time the wind blows inside, leaves scatter about, spreading the fresh scent of foliage. E0005292 Guest Room in the Palace 2:15 Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Some bite-size fruits are on the table. They look delicious. There's something in the flower pot amidst its healthy growth. Deluxe Bananas The plant appears extremely healthy. Someone's been taking good care of it. Watching the green leaves flutter in the wind relaxes and refreshes the mind. Various fruits are on the table. They look absolutely scrumptious. White clouds travel along the sky. The scent of the forest, brought in by a cool, refreshing breeze,

heals tired spirits, and soothes exhausted limbs. I wonder what the Queen could have seen. Who knows?

But if the End Magnus did that to her...it can't be pretty. I agree... Do you think she'll be all right? Though she's graceful, Queen Corellia has a strong mind—the willpower of several men. Or so I hear.

Whatever the End Magnus has shown her,

I doubt it could damage her seriously. Yeah. She'll be fine, right? Hey, . Why don't you tell us about yourself. The where's and what's from before you came here. Hm? What made you come here to Anuenue? I'm all ears, if you feel like talking.

...Hey, don't worry. I'm not suspicious of you. Just curious.

If you don't wanna talk, that's fine with me. I drifted around, from place to place...

Usually as a mercenary, protecting towns and caravans...

That was more or less the life I was living for years.

Then one day I came across a strange old woman. So I thought I might as well go see this tree she spoke of.

I was headed nowhere... A soldier-for-hire living an empty life one day after the next.

It was easy to make such decisions at that time. I hardly had a care in this world. So...this old lady told you we'd be coming? Yes...

A dreadful power lies sealed away, within the Celestial Tree...

A young girl and her companions, shouldering a great burden, will arrive to claim it. That's how she put it. A young girl and her companions, shouldering a great burden... Quite a story. You're a little strange yourself.

Following a strange old lady's fortune and coming down here to live alone... ...nothing mattered. Hmm? Nothing really mattered to me... Nothing at all...

I was just waiting, waiting for so long...

For fate to open its doors and show me something worth fighting for. Guard Her Highness, Queen Corellia, has regained consciousness.

She wishes to speak with you all. Yes...for now, I can be ...

Just ... When I'm here...I can forget about what I am... The burden I carry as the Ice Queen... Oh no, what am I mumbling about? Get a grip, Xelha. Tomorrow is the day, ... Tomorrow, we will know...

Whether we can seal away the End Magnus, or destroy them...

Whether we can save from the taint of Malpercio...

Barnette said it's possible to free someone from the curse...

Everything should be okay...right? I don't know... Sure, it'll be fine. I don't know... Yes, it'll be fine. ...You're right.

We'll be facing an ancient, evil god... No one could say for sure...

Either way, there's no turning back.

If we give up now, there will be no tomorrow... Thanks, ...

You have no idea how much better I feel with you here...

Let's give it all we've got tomorrow. There's one thing I don't understand...

Melodia and Malpercio seem to have somehow linked their minds together. Any ideas why or how? Yeah...She used Geldoblame to unseal the five End Magnus, and resurrect Malpercio.

No doubt about that. Maybe she was first linked with the End Magnus in Mira. That's a possibility.

According to Giacomo, Dr. Georg had a special power,

probably induced by the End Magnus in the Lava Caves...

He devoted himself to his experiments as if a man possessed,

until he created Kalas and Fee... ... ...? What's your point? My point is that something tells me both Melodia and Dr. Georg were controlled by the will of Malpercio...

whether they were aware of it or not... Yeah...Maybe... Yet, if that were indeed the case, it would be quite puzzling.

On one side we have Melodia and her cohorts,

attempting to unleash the End Magnus and take over the world.

On the other we have Dr. Georg, striving to create a being who could bring about Malpercio's destruction...

If both are controlled by Malpercio,

why would they be in contradiction? Hmmm...that is weird, now that you mention it. Dr. Georg's experiments were aimed at creating a Magnus of Life.

This would be the exact opposite of the End Magnus, which are symbols of death and destruction.

My point is that and Malpercio may have been destined to fight one another.

In that sense, Kalas could be said to be a bad omen for Malpercio, a harbinger of the god's demise. That's the way of the world. Come again? ... ...Everyone lives with contradictions of some sort or another... The desire to be sincere and loyal to others, and the urge to drop everything, lie back and care about nothing... We want to be free, but also want to feel secure... We want to protect someone dear to us, but at the same time, we simply want to abandon them... Great We want to live on, but also want to give up and die... Love, and hatred... Melodia, and ...

She is Malpercio's curse to the world, Kalas must be his prayer... She's his curse...and I'm his prayer? Yes...I won't claim to know for sure what Malpercio thinks and desires,

but something tells me that's how it is... and Melodia... Us and them...

There's no telling who will win... Hell, it may not even matter who wins...

Is everything just a game, determined at the whim of some god enjoying himself at our expense?

Are we just pawns, caught up in the mess whether we like it or not? No...This is no game.

This is Malpercio's will. It's his first and final decision, putting himself at stake.

It's the final fight by gods who were destroyed a thousand years ago. He's dead serious, believe me... Well...this is the big day. The end of the line. Hey, listen, ... This may be it for us.

We've been through a lot together, and it was a hell of a ride, thanks to you.

I owe you one, . Same here, . What's with you all of a sudden? Same here. What's with you all of a sudden? I'm glad to hear that.

We'd never have made it without you.

That night, way back, in the Forest of Spirits... I'm glad it was you who came to me. Really glad. Ummm...Well...You know...

I guess I've caused you a lot of trouble. We've really been through a lot, though, haven't we?

I can't imagine what would have happened to us without you. Anyway, it'll all be over by this time tomorrow.

Whether we manage to stop them...Or whether they end up killing us...

Everyone needs to say goodbye someday...so before that time comes...

Let's go out with a bang! We can do this together, okay? Let's get going, ! Let's go, ! E0005299 Corellia's Room:16 How do you feel, Your Highness? Corellia I am all right. My apologies for worrying you.

It seems what you told me about the legends in Diadem were indeed true.

I'm sorry I doubted you. Please don't worry about it, Your Highness.

No one would have believed such a wild story out of the blue like that. But...is Emperor Geldoblame really trying to release that...being? It's very likely. Two of the End Magnus have already been released, and they're in his hands as we speak. ... The Magnus you brought here...it's very dangerous.

If the Emperor should claim all five of them, and release their power...

Malpercio, cursed god of old, might be resurrected. Malpercio...resurrected... Should Malpercio return, our world would be in great peril... I will send a messenger to King Ladekahn right away, to discuss what action should be taken.

The combined might of Anuenue and Diadem should be enough to keep the Empire at bay... That would help greatly. We must do our utmost to stop Geldoblame, while there's still time. Three of the five End Magnus have been awakened. Ar, Le, and Che... The one we have is called "Che." Two more to go... Yup. I say we go get the fourth one.

We can't change what's happened...

All we can do is find the other two and grab them before the Empire does. Rays of light shooting from the Magnus pointed in two directions, Mira and the Empire...

Which of those should we head for first? I say Mira. Infiltrating the Empire would be too risky at this point.

We lack the resources and logistics for such an operation. I'll be coming with you, of course. Soldiers can't leave the frontlines in the middle of an operation.

Besides, this fight is personal. Thanks, you'll be a great help, ! Yet another joins the motley crew.

Though I have to admit she does pack a punch. Stop whining, kid. Just welcome Savyna to the crew.

Of course, we don't even know what your plans are... Okay, okay. Guess I'm going, too.

If only Giacomo would do me a favor and pop up again.

It'd save me the trouble of hunting him down. By the way, our next destination, Mira...what exactly are we in for? Mira is the City of Illusion...

A very mysterious land. It's location shifts from time to time,

going back and forth between our world and another dimension.

You'll need to take the Trail of Souls there, a border between dimensions.

But you should all get some rest before departure. Thank you, Your Highness. I, for one, will take you up on that offer. What you have accomplished was no easy feat. The road ahead may be even more perilous, but you're our only hope. In order to get to Mira, you'll have to go through the Trail of Souls, the borderline of dimensions.

It's been said that those who become lost in the Trail of Souls wander within it forever, unable to leave.

We don't know what awaits you there. Please prepare thoroughly for your upcoming departure. Many expensive-looking items are lined on top of the dresser. Perhaps Corellia received them as gifts. The boxes are of excellent workmanship. They appear to be empty. Vases made of gold are shimmering in the candlelight. Dark brown seeds, each of them large enough to fill your palm, are inside the red pot. There's something on the dressing table. Hair Dryer The dressing table is nice and tidy. The view from here must be one of the best in Anuenue. It's truly a breathtaking sight. The scent emanating from these flowers has filled the entire room. It's intoxicating, yet very refreshing. Corellia must have just gotten out of this bed, as it's still warm. Mattress The bed is soft to the touch, smooth, and probably very comfortable. Some baked goods are on the table. Judging from their sweet smell, they'd probably go great with a cup of tea. Someone must have been enjoying tea time and just left, as warm tea is still in the cup. This plant looks like a miniature Celestial Tree with beautiful red blossoms. The blossoms seem different this year... Fate is already at work...

Regardless of what we may try, or believe... That boy...his aura was quite unusual.

It was as if he was surrounded by the memories of someone very dear...

A long-forgotten lullaby... If their claims are true, in time we must shed our share of tears and blood...

As the planet weeps and bleeds, so will the people of Anuenue...

Fate can be so unforgiving...

Cruel and merciless...

Crushing all those that pass under her heel... E00052A0 Throne Room:17 First let's go search the Illusory Fotress of the Magic Book.

There must be something hidden in there that can help us in Cor Hydrae Castle. Hey, . I can't just leave Anna and Reblys alone.

I don't wanna get too pushy, but you gotta come with me to the Greater Celestial River. I'm worried about Azdar and his troops. Would you help me out? Great Mizuti can't leave Great Kamroh and Kee. Let's go help them, ! Corellia Excuse me... Did you say your name was...Kalas? Yeah. Why? ...It's nothing. Nothing important. Take care of yourselves. So this is one of the End Magnus you were talking about? ...

Oh my!! Guard Your? Your Highness!! Ladekahn The situation is quite urgent.

Melodia and her men seem to have brought the Imperial capital, Mintaka, under their control.

Minions of the darkness have poured into our world through a dimensional vortex. They're only attacking us in small groups, but causing havoc nonetheless.

Luckily our ample defensive preparation has kept the damage to a minumum.

The three witches have been helping us counter as well. Lord Rodolfo of Sadal Suud has holed himself up in his mansion, in a state of panic, no doubt... Which is understandable, in a way, given the circumstances... Calbren This is all my fault...

I never imagined that my Melodia, of all people, would have such horrible ambitions...

Surely I'm to blame for this mess.

I know of no apology befitting such an oversight, yet I ask your forgiveness. Please, Lord Calbren.

Now is not the time for lament and regret.

We must determine what to do.

We will have plenty of time for mourning and reflection, should we survive, and prevail... The Queen's words ring true. We must join forces, and resolve this crisis as soon as possible.

We have no time for feelings of guilt, Duke Calbren! ...I understand. I must get Melodia to realize the destructive consequences of her actions.

I promise to do my utmost. Fortunately, the Cor Hydrae has been silent thus far.

Most likely because the seals on the End Magnus have not been completely removed,

and Malpercio has yet to be fully awakened.

The End Magnus contain the power of five ancient gods. Releasing this power is not an easy task. We must act immediately. For soon Malpercio will be fully awake, and his minions in Cor Hydrae Castle may launch a full-fledged attack. Indeed... That we will have to see to.

Still...I wonder how Melodia intends to release the End Magnus...

She would need powers rivaling those sealed within.

Who in the world would have that kind of power? ,

Go and rescue your friends. The sooner the better. Queen Corellia is right. We can't leave them in the enemy's clutches. Yes, Your Highness! The appearance of the Cor Hydrae has created small Interdimensional Cracks—five in all—near each island.

We have received sightings of ships from Mintaka heading for each of the cracks.

Your friends were likely taken on board those ships, and are probably held in or around the cracks. ...regretfully we cannot spare any troops to aid you in the rescue. I wish it was otherwise... I understand, Your Highness. I'll be fine. By yourself? Are you sure, ? I am, Your Majesty. My Guardian Spirit will accompany me. I see. So the Guardian Spirit is with you now. We wish you a safe return. Please be careful. I will, Your Highness. I'll be back as soon as I can. We have returned, Your Highness. Welcome back, . It's good to see everyone is safe and sound. Sorry if we worried you, Your Highness. I echo the thought, Your Highness. ... You must be the Great . I am Corellia.

Though we can't offer much in the way of hospitality, I welcome you to Anuenue. Great Hullo. The Great bids everyone be at ease. Forget not, to call me the "Great Mizuti." *chuckles* It's truly a pleasure to meet you. You've done well, , . It was the least I could do, Your Highness... How are things going? The Cor Hydrae has yet to break its silence.

Releasing the End Magnus isn't that easy of a task.

The Imperial Army and the forces of darkness, both under Melodia's command, have been launching attacks on each island.

Duke Calbren and King Ladekahn are on the frontlines, leading our forces.

Somehow we've managed to hold our ground,

but the soldiers are showing signs of exhaustion. That doesn't sound too good... We can't continue on like this. Fatigue is bound to take its toll on the men sooner or later.

We must do something, quickly. Yes, but what? I wish I knew... We have little choice but to sneak into the Empire again, and try to recover the End Magnus... If you did, you would likely fall prey to Melodia and Kalas.

We need a miracle...Without some breakthrough, it would be fruitless to infiltrate the Empire. We need some kinda plan here people!

I ain't goin' down without a fight! Th-the Ice Lands... What was that you just said, ? Wazn, the Ice Lands.

The Great Mizuti has heard rumors... Rumors that the queen of Wazn be a witch, with tremendous magical powers.

With her help, we might just make it. Hmmm...Wazn... A kingdom of witches. A land of perpetual blizzards, hidden away in ice.

An island cut off from the rest of the world...

Could our last hope be waiting there? If I remember correctly, there hasn't been any contact between Wazn and the five islands for several hundred years. I hate to say this, but we can't risk losing time and manpower...

in an attempt to contact someone that may not even exist. I could go, Your Highness. ...?! But , we don't have much time... Please allow me to try, Your Highness.

We need a miracle, right? Wazn may be our best bet. ...are you sure about this? Yes, Your Highness. I'll find something or someone to aid the cause. If that's so, , we'll be tagging along, too. Indeed we will. Through ice and flame, if need be. Yes. Turning back is no longer an option. The Great will accompany you. You may sit back, relax, and enjoy the view! Thank you, everyone. What do you think of our plan, ? Right, let's go! No way! Of course, let's go! Absolutely no way! Yes, together, we'll find something in Wazn. But there's little else we can do, ...

Please...come with us to the Ice Lands?

Trust me, we'll find something! All right, then.

We'll handle matters here. You go on ahead, Xelha.

I pray that you will find the help we're looking for in Wazn. Thank you, Your Highness! Well, everyone. Our situation isn't exactly favorable. Indeed not. Each nation's food and medicine supplies are running low. Our soldiers are exhausted. They won't last forever. We have to do something. Indeed. We have little time left... Kodelle Our apologies for keeping you waiting. Preparations are complete. All nations are ready. Then we've prepared in time! Well done. We appreciate your assistance. You have a plan for attacking Cor Hydrae Castle? You told us Melodia used the power of the five islands to release the End Magnus.

I suggest we use that same power to counteract the power of the evil god,

and to pierce the shield surrounding Cor Hydrae Castle. Great Kamroh You're suggesting that we gather the power of the End Magnus, remaining in each island, and throw it at the Shield?! Exactly. That would be folly!

Now that the End Magnus have been released,

each island is barely kept afloat by its remaining power...

If that power was to be depleted, the islands could fall...

That would be too dangerous!! We are all well aware of the dangers involved. Unless we do something soon though, we'll all be doomed...

We have to take our chances. Then you will definitely need my help. Lord Rodolfo?! You came! Rodolfo Of course I did...

How could I hide myself when there's a battle to be won? Catranne Wow, listen to him. He only agreed to help after some serious threatening on our part. *Coughs awkwardly* The reason is unimportant. It is your presence here that counts. By the way...what has become of the Empire? Who will take charge? We can't expect too much from them. We will have them assume their positions, just in case,

but now that Geldoblame is gone, there is no one to lead the people and bring out the full potential of that island. I'm not sure how much we can accomplish with the power of four islands, but we must do what we can.

There's no turning back. This will probably be the first and the last time anyone attempts such a feat. Let us join together and give them something to remember! As mentioned earlier, we will take care of the Shield. Wait for an opening, and storm directly in to the Cor Hydrae! I beg of you, please save my Melodia... Please save her soul... ...We will. We'll do our utmost. The final battle will take place tomorrow!

The fate of the world is in our hands. Our nation hasn't been involved in a conflict for quite some time. Almost none of my people can use a weapon, let alone fight.

I hope you can understand that. A power equaling that of the wicked god... Could something like that actually exist in this world? Still...I wonder how Melodia intends to release the End Magnus...

She would need powers rivaling those sealed within.

Who in the world would have that kind of power? Since the Interdimensional Cracks opened up, strange things have been happening all over the world.

Most likely, something has happened to this nation as well.

You must search out the cause of this chaos, and go rescue the others. We're counting on you, Xelha. Wazn is said to exist far to the north, on a frozen island high up in the sky, full of ice storms and blizzards.

It will surely be a difficult journey, but I feel you can pull through.

I hope and pray that this journey will prove successful. It's our last chance. Retrieving the End Magnus and rescuing won't be easy.

Especially now that the Empire is in a state of crisis with Melodia at the helm.

This is crucial, , as the safety of our world hangs in the balance. Please be careful. Kodelle told me what happened.

Welcome back, Kalas. Thanks.

But I owe my return to Xelha and the others. And , too, of course.

I don't think I could have survived without them... ...That may be true. You may have been eternally trapped in darkness.

But, thankfully you're back with us now.

With our combined efforts, it may be possible to destroy the wicked god.

Let us join forces and face this crisis head on. Xelha and , your comrades, and many others...

They're all with you and support you to the fullest.

As long as you bear that in mind, you'll never be lost in darkness again.

You must go now. Go and confirm your identity. You must go now. Go and confirm your identity. Corellia, I need to ask you a favor. Yes? What could it be? Well... I see... You want me to allow the portable shrine show to be held again.

Fighting the forces of darkness really seems to be taking its toll on our troops and citizens.

Holding the show again may ease their troubled minds, and bring healing. I'll be more than happy to lend it to you. Thank you, Corellia. I'll lend you my portable shrine, but where are you going to find shrine bearers? Don't worry. We can take care of that. All right, then. Everyone will be more than pleased with your efforts. Everyone will be more than pleased with your efforts.

But attacks from the forces of darkness are increasing daily.

I'm glad you care about my people, but... I know. Time is running out.

What do you think, ? Should we deal with Cor Hydrae first? Yeah, let's go! No, not just yet. Yes, let's go! No, not just yet. Are you ready to invade Cor Hydrae, now?

The forces of darkness have increased their attacks by twofold. We must hurry, , . Yeah. We don't have anymore time to waste. Don't you agree, ? Okay, let's go. No, not yet. All right. Let's go. No, not yet. Thanks to your efforts, everyone's minds have been put at ease a little.

You've given us all a ray of hope...Thank you so much, , . Cor Hydrae's shield has been broken.

The fate of the world is in your hands now... Good luck... I'm awfully sorry about what Melodia has done.

I'll do whatever I can to help you.

I don't think that will make up for what she's done, but it's all I can do... I'm awfully sorry about what Melodia has done.

I'll do whatever I can to help you.

I don't think that will make up for what she's done, but it's all I can do...

I hope you can rescue the others. ...

, you managed to cast aside the powers of darkness that you had received from Malpercio.

Since you were able to do that, perhaps there is still hope for Melodia.

Please... Please save my Melodia. Duke Calbren...

I will... I'll bring her back out from the darkness.

I promise you that. ... Thank you. I know you can do it. I know all too well that it's a selfish request.

But...Melodia means so much to me... You're my only hope. You can leave Cor Hydrae Castle to us.

As the leaders of many nations, you can count on us to do our part. Somehow, I feel that Melodia is far too powerful for us to cope with.

We should be well-prepared, or we'll simply be no match for her.

If it's at all possible, please help her return to her former self... We'll follow you soon. You should hurry. Now that the shield is broken, they must be confused.

But don't underestimate them. It's important to stay alert. Now that our nations have joined forces, it won't be easy for the armies of darkness. Now that our nations have joined forces, it won't be easy for the armies of darkness.

You should just concentrate on saving your friends. Duke Calbren has collapsed, and has been resting.

Don't worry. It's only the strain of grief taking its toll on him. He should recover soon.

Don't worry about us.

, take care of the Empire and Melodia. ... King Ladekahn, I'm... Don't. You don't need to say anything. You're back with us now. That's all we care about.

Let's destroy Malpercio, and end this war. The worst is yet to come, so be prepared for a tough battle. I wish you the best of luck, Kalas. Cor Hydrae Castle seems far too quiet...They must be preparing to fight...

Let me take this opportunity to tell you something.

You can travel around the world and make necessary preparations for the final battle.

Of course, you can also go into Cor Hydrae Castle now.

The decision is up to you. You are the key to victory for the world. We've made it this far thanks to all of your efforts. The rest is up to you. , everyone, good luck! It seems we've done it.

Whew. I've never worked so hard in my life.

Still, working together with everyone for the greater good...it's not half bad... Hellooo, how are you doing?

My sisters are traveling around the world to prepare for the battle against Cor Hydrae.

I was ordered to stay behind in the Palace.

But I know lots of interesting things. Would you like to hear about them? Didn't we just hear about these "interesting things," ? Let's hear about them again. Yeah, we already heard what she knows. Let's hear about them again. Yes, we already heard what she knows. All right, Catranne, tell me again. Okey-dokey. What do you want to know? About Sadal Suud. About Diadem. About Anuenue. About Mira. About Alfard Empire. About Wazn. About the Children of the Earth. I don't have any interesting information about Sadal Suud at the moment. They say the legendary "Master of the River" has been spotted near Nashira. This appearance could be due to the emergence of Cor Hydrae.

A fisherman's weapon is supposedly lodged into its back. Ummm. I haven't heard about the legendary Master of the River lately. Oh, that... I kinda already crushed that beast. What?! I'll record that in my diary. Catranne's diary says: The legendary Master of the River actually existed, and was crushed by . A Forbidden Book of Magic, filled with ancient wisdom, is said to exist somewhere in Anuenue.

If Your Majesty could find it, the book may prove to be very helpful for you.

A Book of Magic...I'd think the School of Magic is involved in some way with an item like that... Your Majesty...I'm sorry to report that I don't any new leads concerning the Forbidden Book of Magic. Oh, I found that book at the School of Magic, and learned a wonderful spell from it. Catranne's diary says: The Forbidden Book of Magic was found at the School of Magic,

Her Majesty Queen found the book, and learned a useful spell from it. There's a rumor that a phantom ship, similar to the Battleship Goldoba, is floating through the Trail of Souls.

People say they've heard ghosts crying out from within... ...Gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. What makes it even more spooky is that the ghosts are calling out a name...

They're calling for "."

Hmm, since it's a phantom ship, you'll probably have to be on a ship yourself to encounter it.

I'm not sure you'd want to though. Ummm. I haven't heard about the Phantom Goldoba lately. I wonder what happened... The Phantom Goldoba? I was on that ship. It was a horrible experience. Catranne's diary says: The Phantom Goldoba was adrift, but was cast away by . Villagers in the desert there have been surrounded by hideous monsters.

We'd like to send additional help to their village, but we have our hands full with other things right now.

Currently the Mad Wolf Unit is protecting the village, so nothing bad has happened so far... Ummm. The people of Azha are said to have been saved from the desert. I wonder what happened to them. We relocated them to a safe place. Catranne's diary says: The people of Azha were saved, and led to a safe place

by . Both our castle and town are all right, Your Majesty. Nothing much has happened back home. There's nothing to worry about. Oh yes, some of the Children of the Earth are still beneath the Taintclouds.

From what I've heard, the Great Kamroh, and someone named Krumly. Oh, and also a boy named Kee.

They went to Zosma Tower to restore the Ring of Sorcerers. Ummm...I wonder what happened to the Children of the Earth who went to Zosma Tower... Kee and the others be already back safely. The day be saved once again by the Great . Catranne's diary says: The Children of the Earth were rescued from

Zosma Tower. They are safe, thanks to . Please don't blame Queen Corellia.

It pains her to make this decision, but it's for the good of the nation. We're very sorry, but I must ask you to leave now. The doctor says she's all right. But I'm worried about her. The Cavaliers will all be praying for your safe return. I wish you the best of luck. We're sorry we can't work together with you.

We are the Anuenue Cavaliers. We serve only Queen Corellia.

We cannot endanger the lives of Queen Corellia and her people. Please understand our position. So you brought an End Magnus... I've been one of Queen Corellia's Cavaliers for a long time, but never have I felt so helpless... I pledge my life to Queen Corellia, and vow to use my lance to fight the wicked forces of darkness to the death. Young lady...Xelha, was it? How can we know your story is worthy of trust?

What you told us is very different from what Emperor Geldoblame has said. Is that an End Magnus? I never imagined it had such tremendous power... The town is full of rumors, most of them baseless.

Should we let our citizens know the truth? Is it right for us to keep the citizens in the dark as to what is really happening?

This difficult matter has been discussed a great deal by Queen Corellia and her court. We're not sure what the Empire really intends to do.

It's too early to make a final decision.

Besides, if the Empire knows Diadem and Anuenue have joined forces,

Diadem would be their first target, as Anuenue is protected by a magic shield.

It's far too early to go to war. Suppose Emperor Geldoblame is gathering the End Magnus...

How can he survive, being consumed by such deep and sinister forces? I'm truly sorry, but we cannot help you. As Cavaliers, we must remain by our Queen's side. Have you finished what you came here for? If so, I think you'd better leave now. What were we doing? All we could do was watch... I'm so ashamed. You are in the presence of Queen Corellia. I remind you to act with proper courtesy. Please remember where you are. I'm on duty now. I won't indulge in any personal chatter. I don't know what Queen Corellia is expecting will happen.

I'm guessing she thinks it's too early for anything to happen at all.

Queen Corellia says that she doesn't despise you.

I'm sure the time will come when you can convince her that your intentions are honorable. Until then, however, I wish you the best, and hope to join forces soon. I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to advance any further. We came to see Corellia. I brought an End Magnus. I'm sorry. If you want to see Queen Corellia, you must follow official procedures... ...

It's all right. Let them through. As you wish. You may enter. I was surprised that the Queen of all people could lose consciousness.

This "End Magnus" must possess quite a tremendous source of energy. Should we really be standing watch inside this castle? There's no danger here.

Many of my comrades have died in combat outside the safe protection of these walls.

Thinking about that...It makes me ashamed that I wasn't out there, fighting by their sides. You've insulted the Emperor. You've objected to Queen Corellia...

Consider yourself lucky to be alive. The meeting with Queen Corellia is over, is it not?

You should leave. Please leave here as soon as this meeting's over. That Magnus you brought here...

You didn't cast a curse on it, did you? Our comrades have died for Queen Corellia, and passed on the honor of protecting her to us.

But the younger Cavaliers seem to have their minds on other things.

When will they realize that their first priority is to protect the Queen, at all costs? Wait, .

We must tell her of your return, and also of what happened in Duhr. Hey, , Why don't we go speak with Queen Corellia.

She probably knows what's been happening. We're sorry, but the meeting is over.

You're not allowed in here. Please leave. Old Scholar May we proceed, then, Your Highness? Corellia I agree with your suggestions. Please do. You must be travelers. I welcome you to Anuenue. What can I do for you? We came from Diadem, Your Highness.

We bear important news from King Ladekahn. From King Ladekahn? What could this be about? Your Highness, I must ask leave of you. Please see to it that everything is taken care of. As you wish, Your Highness.

Perhaps there is a clue in the Lost Chambers of the Warlocks of old. We will strive to find something we can begin working on. Now then, tell me of this news you bring. Please take this letter, Your Highness. This is indeed the Royal Crest of Diadem. ... The Five End Magnus, sealed away in times long past...

The powers of Cursed Malpercio, evil god of chaos and destruction... So you believe one of these "End Magnus" is sealed away somewhere in our lands?

And that the Empire...Emperor Geldoblame...is looking for it? Without a doubt, Your Highness.

We must find the End Magnus before he does... ??? Ah...we have company, I see. ...?! Pardon me. I did not realize you were in audience with your guests. Please join us, Emperor Geldoblame. What?! Geldoblame?! The Emperor has honored us with a visit. He has been staying in Anuenue for the last three days or so. Emperor Geldoblame, if you please, would you happen to have heard of something called an "End Magnus"? Geldoblame "End Magnus"? Hmmm... I don't believe so. Is it of some special concern to Your Highness? It matters not, Emperor. You liar! , no! Don't play dumb with us!

After what your goons did back in Diadem...

If you think you can play ignorant and get away with murder, you best think again you filthy slob!

You're gonna pay for this! Hold your tongue, insolent fool! You are in the presence of Queen Corellia!

An insult to the Queen's guest is an insult to the Queen herself.

Speak respectfully or face the consequences! Hey, take it easy, will ya? I won't be bustin' any heads just yet. I appreciate your concern, but you may stand back.

A true leader will always be the target of misunderstandings and envy. Of libel and slander. I daresay I am familiar with such outbursts. Yes, Your Magnificence. Who exactly are all of you anyway?

If I'm not mistaken, this young man is wearing an Imperial uniform.

What mission could possibly warrant his being here? Hm? ... And the young lady there happens to remind me of a thief. A petty cutpurse that stole jewelry from my palace and scampered away... Could this resemblance be...coincidental? ...!! I...I... What are you doing here, huh?

Have you already guessed where the third Magnus is, or are you still looking? As stated previously, I have nary a clue as to what you are referring to.

I am here on vacation. A routine break from my grueling duties. Your accusations, I must observe, are devoid of merit. By the way, Emperor Geldoblame, is there something you need of me? Oh yes, Queen Corellia...I merely intended to bid you farewell.

My responsibilities are calling out to me.

I must be leaving shortly... I understand. I do hope you enjoyed your stay. My sincere thanks for your hospitality. My stay here has been...fruitful.

You must come and visit me sometime in the Imperial Capital. You will always be welcome, my dear Corellia. I thank you for the invitation. I hope to do so whenever possible. ...A day I will cherish. Farewell, my dear Corellia. I invite you all, too, to visit my Empire. You will be...most welcome.

It would truly be an unforgettable journey...

Ha ha ha ha... Now then, I've read the letter from King Ladekahn, and his points are well taken.

However, Anuenue cannot agree to help another nation face the might of the Empire. ...?! Why not, Your Highness? We, the people of Anuenue, are opposed to any and all forms of strife.

We have a long-standing tradition of remaining neutral towards the other islands.

A tradition that we refuse to change. Sounds nice on paper, I'll give you that...

Staying nice and fair, while the whole world falls apart around you. You were warned to hold your tongue! Besides, I've never heard of any legend telling of a cursed power sealed in this land.

It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm not sure how much of your story I can take as credible...

The people of Anuenue have followed one simple teaching for generations...

Sing with the Celestial Tree, dance when its flowers bloom... That is all. Sing with the Celestial Tree, dance when its flowers bloom... Under the current circumstances, Anuenue cannot make any rash decisions. *sigh* I understand... Please pass my regards to King Ladekahn. There's not much else we can do for now... I'm relieved to see you safe and sound, Xelha. I failed, Your Highness... I failed you all... Don't talk like that, Xelha. You did all you could. You did more than anyone else could have...

For that you have my thanks. What happened out there is not your fault. You shouldn't feel guilty for what happened.

Is that clear, ? Yes, Your Highness. Thank you. ...Queen Xelha...

Why didn't you tell us you were the Queen of Wazn? My apologies...

I wasn't sure we would find anything in Wazn...

And it just didn't feel right to tell you all at that time. Though we didn't know of your status, I apologize for any discourtesy, Xelha, Queen of Wazn. Please, King Ladekahn! I'm just , the same as I've always been. Well, if you insist... Thank you for understanding. No, it...it is I who must thank you for your tremendous help,

Oh Queen of...err...Xelha...ahem! With you on our side, there is still hope, Your High...err...Xelha. You seem pretty awkward, My Lord. Do I? Umm...I suppose I'm in a bit of a difficult situation... *laughter* Well then...We're off... Off to Mintaka, the Imperial capital! Godspeed. The future of the world rests on your shoulders... Duke Calbren! Are you all right? I'm fine now.

I certainly don't want to stay in bed while others are out fighting the good fight. How did it go? Well... I see...So even the Ancient Wizards' descendants are unable to stop the evil god... Hmm...What should we do, then?

Sooner or later the enemy will wear down our defenses unless we take some sort of action. For now they only seem to be launching small and sporadic attacks on our towns and villages. It's as if they're toying with us...

Whittling down our strength... I say we should give'em all we got! Full throttle!

Invade Cor Hydrae Castle and wipe out Malpercio while we still have enough manpower! It would be foolish to throw away your life like that. But... I doubt we could invade the castle with our current capabilities. Umm, maybe you're right... But still... So you're saying that even though it's a shot in the dark, it's all we've got going for us? That's what I'm saying. If we give it a shot, it just might work. You'll never make it into Cor Hydrae Castle. Kodelle! Your Majesty, it's been a while. Glamyss So glad you are in good spirits. It's good to see you again, Queen Xelha. Why don't you think we can make it into Cor Hydrae? They have raised a powerful shield around it. There's no way we could penetrate the defenses. A shield?! Well... Trying to force your way in is useless. We can't afford to sacrifice lives in that manner. Uh-huh. A simple-minded, happy-go-lucky guy who uses brute force to solve everything is a major turn off to girls... That's enough. As you wish. This meeting is adjourned.

In time, with the Children of the Earth helping us, we should be able to come up with a viable plan. Yes indeed. You all must be very tired. Take a well-deserved rest. Oh, and ! I got this for you.

We went to Sadal Suud for a report. Someone told me to give this to you. ... A letter for me? There's something I need to talk to you about. I'll be waiting for you in Cebalrai Village.

Larikush Larikush?! The Doc back in Cebalrai!

Could he have really been working for the Empire with Gramps?

Something to talk to me about? What could it be? Huh? What is it? Nothing. Thanks, Catranne. No problem. Welcome back, everyone. Any news of Cor Hydrae Castle? No, the enemy has yet to make a move.

As for penetrating their shield, I'm afraid there isn't much we can do. I see... Various reports have come in from each nation, however, that may be of interest.

Ask Catranne for details. I'm right here. Feel free to ask me anything. We have all sorts of news, from all over the world.

Strange things have been happening ever since Cor Hydrae Castle appeared.

What would you like to hear about? About Sadal Suud Frontier. About Diadem. About Anuenue. About Mira. About Alfard Empire. About Wazn. About the Children of the Earth. Well, there hasn't been much news from Sadal Suud, actually. They say the legendary "Master of the River" has been spotted near Nashira. This appearance could be due to the emergence of Cor Hydrae.

A fisherman's weapon is supposedly lodged into its back. Master of the River? With a fisherman's weapon? That must be the Lord of the Greater Celestial River.

Last time anyone set eyes on it was over a hundred years ago... Ah yes, Your Majesty, we heard there's an old, Forbidden Book of Magic somewhere here in Anuenue.

We thought it might be helpful, and looked all over the place,

but we couldn't find it. A Forbidden Book of Magic...

I see...If we could find it, it might prove useful when we attack Cor Hydrae Castle. There's a rumor that a phantom ship, similar to the Battleship Goldoba, is floating through the Trail of Souls...

People say they've heard ghosts crying out from within, gives me goose bumps just thinking about it. What makes it even more spooky is that the ghosts are calling out a name...

They're calling for "." Ghosts? Calling me? What could that be all about? Villagers in the desert there have been surrounded by hideous monsters.

We'd like to send additional help to their village, but we have our hands full with other things right now.

Currently the Mad Wolf Unit is protecting the village, so nothing bad has happened so far... Azdar and his men... Both our castle and town are all right, Your Majesty. Nothing much has happened back home. Oh yes, some of the Children of the Earth are still beneath the Taintclouds.

From what I've heard, the Great Kamroh, and someone named Krumly. Oh, and also a boy named Kee. Kee, too? Now, then... Many of these reports seem to be of concern to you.

I suggest you let us handle the plans to counter Cor Hydrae, and act as you see fit. Perhaps following up on some of the reports would be wise.

Of course, preparing yourselves for our final, upcoming battle is equally important.

Please come back when you have done what you need to do.

Is that clear? Yes it is, Your Highness. We're all set. Just give the word... Very well, all of you, to your positions. I wish you the best of luck! We shall give them our utmost! Yes indeed. Let us join forces and destroy the Cor Hydrae Castle! To walk another day with our heads held high! Queen Xelha, do you need us? I'll be fine. Please stay and protect Queen Corellia. Be careful, My Queen. You too. Good luck, Your Majesty! -- Ancient Library of Magic -- E00052A7 First Floor:01 A sign at the entrance says: "%s." Hmm? What the... We can't go any further. ...Wow, this seal was created over a hundred years ago... I sense a very powerful magic. This type of spell is usually cast on two objects. Those objects must be brought together to break the spell. So, in order to get past this seal, I think we need to find the other object that was enchanted with it.

The witch isn't necessarily in this room, so let's go look somewhere else for now. Sounds good. Hey, maybe we can use this key. Yup, looks like this key did the trick.

Underneath the note, there's a key with a tag that says "Geography Section." Let's take it. Let's leave it. Well, it might come in handy. Let's just borrow it for a little while. Geography Section Key Looks like we can use it for the magic shield. Okay, let's borrow it. Yeah, we don't need any section keys right now. I kinda feel that it's got something to do with the magic shield though... Well, I guess we don't need it for now. A tattered note says, "Return the keys to their appropriate spots."

Underneath the note are spots designated for several keys, but no keys are placed there. Geography Section History Section Zeit Robe There are some old notebooks covered with dust.

I guess there's only one way to find out. It isn't like we needed help, you know... We almost had him. You...I know that face... ??? Come to the village by the waterfall. Sorry I can't stick around to hold your hands on the way. I...

Thank you for saving us. Everyone all right? Yes. I'm fine. I'll live. I'm okay. I'm not okay. Yeah, yeah, I know. If you weren't okay, I'd probably be dead already. Hey, gimme a break, huh, ? You'll live. That guy back there... I don't care how much of Malpercio's power he packs.

Next time I see him, I'll make him regret he ever met me. That lady...someone said she's a hunter, living in the mountains... Why did she help us? She countered that man's...er...—Folon's—attack with ease... Anyway, let's get moving. We gotta find this village of hers. E00052AE Second Floor Passage:02 Wave Blade ...It won't move at all.

They must be somewhere in the library. Let's go find them. *sigh* What a hassle. Well, what are we waiting for? It won't open.

That's weird... We got all four books. Maybe we're still missin' somethin'. I don't think so, it only says we should find four books written by him... Then what else are we supposed to do? What I can gather from what the librarian wrote,

we have to search for the answer as to what to do with these four books... So what's next? I guess we might as well go check some other places.

Ruby Earrings Silver Sword E00052D8 Chief Librarian's Room:08 Water Mirror Anklet Day O Day S Day W Day M Day Z Day X Day O I'm the head librarian at the Library of Magic. I'm strict and I'm sensible, but I'm still a man.

M, the receptionist who started working here the other day, is really cute. I can't possibly let my wife hear of this, but M just drives me wild.

When I'm in front of M, I get tongue-tied and turn red, as if I was a young man again. It's as if a good thirty years has been shaved off this old body of mine.

I've never been good at keeping secrets or hiding things—especially from my wife. I have to make sure she doesn't find out about my fascination with M.

She usually has a keen sense of finding out these kinds of things on her own. Boy oh boy, I know that better than anyone. Day S Am I that bad at hiding things?

My wife has been giving me strange looks, and seems a little suspicous. But I don't think she knows anything yet.

I finally mustered up the courage to ask M out to dinner.

Luckily, I'm a well-educated man. Even an old man like myself, if intellectual, can be attractive to women.

I'm sure glad my parents constantly urged me to study day and night. Day W To get more intimate with M, I started sharing a journal with her. I wonder how long it's been since I shared a journal with someone.

I'll just write "Falcon's Theorem by Magic Integration" on the title of the journal.

If my wife was to find it, she'd probably take one look at the title, and leave it alone. She doesn't like difficult books. Day M K, my brother-in-law and best friend, who works at the School of Magic, paid me a visit today. It had probably been about three months since we last got together.

I met my wife through K. It's quite intellectually stimulating to talk the night away with someone who has a deep understanding of magic.

He asked me to lend him some good books that he could give to his students, to hopefully spark an interest in reading.

I consider myself a generous person—to just about anyone.

I promised him he could help himself to any books he wants at any time, since I'm often too busy or unavailable to help him out.

It's always a pleasure to do nice things for my brother-in-law. Day Z This is not good. This is very, very bad. Out of all the books in the library, why did he have to take "Falcon's Theorem by Magic Integration?!"

I have to get it back! If K looks it over, there's no doubt that my wife will find out about M.

This strict and sensible head librarian at the Library of Magic is exchanging intimate thoughts with a female coworker...That's simply unacceptable.

If the truth leaks out... I-I will have to resign from my position.

What if he lets his students get their little hands on it...those little piranhas...I'd be ruined! I'm too anxious to sleep! Nothing is written here. This is the journal of some former head librarian. It looks like someone's been flipping through it lately. Do you wanna read it, ? This must be the journal of a former head librarian. It looks as though someone has been reading through it recently. Would you like to read it, ? Sure. No thanks. It's divided into daily entries. Which day do you wanna read, ?

Oh well. I'll let them live a tad longer. Whoever it was that attacked me looked awfully like an Imperial...

Nah, couldn't be. It isn't like the average Joe could pull off such a feat.

Unless... -- Holoholo Jungle -- E00052DF Jungle 1:01 Ice Crystal Buckle It's no good, I forgot to bring a Landmark Stone to guide me through.

It's impossible to get through this jungle without one.

Ohhh cripes... My girlfriend is waiting for me in Opu...

I want to go back to the School of Magic to get a Landmark Stone from the principal, but...I can't get out...

I might die here... And my girl is fond of punctuality... This is not good, this is not good at all. She's definitely gonna dump me...

Thank you very much. Shop Rest your wings Leave store Conversation with store clerk in Opu. E00052FB Outside:01 ??? Hi there. Three men, one lady, and a blue Greythorne...

You're looking for a lady, aren't you? Yes. Why? Really strong and amazing, right? Dunno about that... Who are you? Mayfee Oh, I'm being rude. I'm Mayfee. One of the Keepers of the Celestial Tree.

I'm just a beginner, though. How come you know about us? She told me about you.

Said she had something to take care of, and that a bunch of people might come while she's gone. She told me to ask you to wait a while.

You do know her, don't you?

Why don't you come to my place till she comes back? It's right over there. This way. You people must've come to see the Thirty Year Festival. If you're thinking of going to the Celestial Tree, you can forget about it.

Only Keepers are given free access to the Tree. Even we villagers have a hard time getting in. You people are certainly lucky! You got to witness the rare blossoming of the Celestial Flowers!!

To tell you the truth, it's...it's my first time seeing them, too. Let me tell you...they're more beautiful than I ever imagined... I feel as if the Celestial Tree has been crying lately. My heart's filled with sadness whenever I look at it.

You'd think it would be happy, what with the Celestial Flowers blooming after so many years. I wonder why it's sad... Just looking at the Celestial Tree blooming makes me feel good.

You people should just take this time to gaze at the Celestial Tree.

All your troubles and worries will go away, even if only for a short time. The main shaft must be getting a bit rusty. All I have to do is grease it up some, and the waterwheel will start working again... No no, that's not it.

To make that thing work again is gonna require more drastic repair. I'll have to...*mumble* *mumble*... Hmm? The Thirty Year Festival?

The Celestial Tree has been blessing us for so many years...I think it's ridiculous how drunk with celebration they are in the city.

What's more important than being festive only once every thirty years is to always remember our blessings and be thankful for them. Now I understand why the people in Komo Mai were being so festive. Who wouldn't be excited by this wonderful festival?

Ohh...they're so beautiful. I hear rulers of various nations have gathered in Komo Mai.

I wonder if it's okay for them to leave their own nations...

Maybe... Just maybe Anuenue is the only nation that can survive. Thinking like that frightens me more and more. There's something wrong with the tree.

What's going to happen to us in the future? Here, take this. The wind blew it here a while ago. Perseus I'm gathering leaves from the Celestial Tree right now. If the wind keeps up, all the leaves will be blown here.

If you cook the leaves of the Celestial Tree, they'll get soft. Eating them every day will make you stronger.

Put these leaves in your bath, and they'll warm you up. Look...they smell good, too. Did you see it? Did you see the Celestial Tree? It smells so good!

If we give it some time, the petals will be blown here, too!!

If I gather enough petals, I can make a necklace out of them! Look!! I only have a few now, but I'm still collecting them.

When I have enough, I can make a necklace and give it to you. Why is everyone so frightened?

These fine-smelling petals are raining down from the sky. Why doesn't anyone look happy?

You look frightened, too. Hmm, that waterwheel doesn't seem to be working at all. If it isn't fixed soon, water pressure will cause it to break! Wow, what a shock! It started moving all of a sudden. What, you ask? The waterwheel, of course!

See? It looks so powerful. Now both of the famous attractions of Opu are running fine—the waterfall and the waterwheel.

We're so happy! The waterwheel is fixed, and now the Celestial Flowers are blooming...

What an extraordinary year it has been! It's almost scary. I saw a Keeper running nervously towards the tree a while ago.

Good things are happening, like the Celestial Flowers blooming and all, but I wonder what happened... Although we have the magic shield from the three witches,

fighting the enemies with our nation at the center will surely endanger us all. It's so dangerous everywhere now that there's nowhere to run. Bathing in the scent of the Celestial Tree and basking in the presence of Opu's waterfall is truly relaxing.

I will wear my sap pack again today, so I can live as long as the Celestial Tree. I heard that dangerous animals have grown more violent. But the Celestial Flowers have bloomed, so maybe it's not that bad. If the atmosphere remains this tense, it can't be good for my skin.

Do you know how Queen Corellia can stay so beautiful while under such stressful conditions?

Maybe the palace has a secret method for maintaining beauty that was passed on to her. Celestial Flower Seed?? Oh! I didn't know that!!

But if that's true, I have to go to Komo Mai immediately. Here, take this!! Crimson Blossom You're wondering why I don't go to Komo Mai immediately?

I'd love to go now, but I still have to finish today's work...

Once I'm done bathing in the scent of the Celestial Tree and splashing in the waterfall,

I'll have to soak in a bath of Celestial Flowers and wear my sap pack... Everyday care is essential for maintaining beauty.

Beauty's not made in a day! Remember that. Hmm...The owner of that house?

She settled in this village a while ago.

She seems a bit cold-hearted, but she's very beautiful. Ah, she's not from this village. Hmm, would you like to know a little more about her? Okay. We'll know more about her in time. Okay, let's ask.

Yeah, could you tell us more about the woman who lives here? ...I don't know her that well, but I'll tell you what I do know.

She's quite self-sufficient, lives alone, and isn't very sociable.

She travels to the mountains alone and brings back hideous monsters...

She's quite a hunter. I bet she came to this nation for hunting.

Now she's waiting. Waiting for her prey to come along.

That's the impression I get, anyway. Yeah... We'll find out more about her...when we meet her. Are you people acquaintances of hers? You don't seem like it. This is the first time I've ever seen the Celestial Flowers. But...why do I feel nostalgic? My father passed away some time ago, but it felt as if...he was embracing me.

It's probably the power of the Celestial Flowers. How mysterious! Don't you feel wonderful just looking at the sky and letting your thoughts wander?

Of course, doing it for too long might be a little unhealthy.

But it's as if watching the Celestial Flowers fills my heart with joy...

It makes me feel like nothing matters anymore. Perhaps that's what happiness is. It's probably the power of the Celestial Flowers. I didn't feel this way when I was looking at the flowerless tree. After you all arrived, a lot of mysterious things have been happening.

One of them is the blooming of the thirty-year-old blossoms...It must be a sign that calamity is returning to the world. Greythorne Squ-squeak. Meemai Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak. Squeak. A Waterlark is right in front of us. We were asked to gather animals... What do you want to do, ? Let's catch it. Not interested. Okay, I got it. If we take it to Kaffaljidhma, the lady should be happy. Waterlark Okay, I've decided!

We've got some time to kill until that woman gets back.

Let's go find some Komo Mai cookies. Good idea. That girl, she's trying to act happy, but I bet it's hard on her. Yeah, I think it's just some old superstition to offer Komo Mai cookies.

But if that's what comforts her, there's nothin' wrong with it, right? Whoa whoa, isn't our purpose here just to meet this woman?

We can't keep meddling in other people's lives, you know! He's right.

You're strangers, and strangers shouldn't stick their noses in villagers' affairs. Huh? What's that? He sounds like he might know Mayfee. It doesn't matter. I've already decided. I'm gonna go look for some of those Komo Mai cookies.

Of course, you're coming with me ! ... E0005302 House 1(Savyna's House):02 ??? So you came. You saved our hides. We can't just walk away... Thank you again for saving us back there. Don't mention it. It's no big deal. Who are you anyway? Why did you help us? Do you seriously intend to face Geldoblame? Yeah.

We'll do what we can to thwart their plans. Sounds like you have a death wish. We're not going down that easy, no matter who we're up against. Hmm...could be worse, I guess. Let's go. Huh? Hey! Where are you...we...going? The Celestial Tree. To see it bloom. What? Why? To get the End Magnus. That's what you're here for, isn't it? ...?! Hey...wait, wait up! You haven't even told us your name. My name? It's.... Follow me. Who is she, anyway? Kinda weird, isn't she? Hmmm? Let's follow her. We've got nothing to lose. There's something inside one of the ceramic containers. Ice Knuckles There's nothing inside the ceramic containers. Something resembling algae is planted in the pot. It smells kind of fishy... The desk was probably just put here for decorative purposes. It shows little sign of use. A small fire is burning, adding a moderate light to the room. It's warm... E0005309 House 2:03 Mayfee's Grandmother Where should I start...

All right, I'll start with the story of when I first saw a Celestial Bud.

That was the seventh night after I became a Keeper.

My curiosity drove me to climb to the top of the Celestial Tree.

I went around the back, and before I knew it, I found myself in front of the giant bud.

People say that if the bud opens, the other buds will follow suit. That's quite an important role the giant bud has!

*sigh* It was such a beautiful and magnificent bud...

When people pass away, they return to the foot of the Celestial Tree.

Celestial Flowers are the souls of our ancestors who have been sleeping in this land.

If I miss this chance, there won't be another one for me.

I really want to see the bud open with my own eyes.

I really want to see it, at least once. Mayfee You can! It'll bloom this year.

You'll get better and then we'll go see it together! Okay, Grandma? Yes, yes, Mayfee. Thank you. Uh-huh, so you can cheer up. Well, I'm going next door.

I'll let you know when she gets back, so make yourselves at home.

Please keep my grandma company. We don't get many visitors.

See you soon! Oh, thank you!! I'll use it carefully.

I'm sorry, but this is all that's left... Please take it. Oh, thank you!! I'll use it with care.

As a token of my appreciation, please take this...sorry it's the same thing, though... Deluxe Shish Kebab It doesn't seem to help my grandma get better, but it tastes good! So please try it. I bought tons of them 'cause they looked so yummy! Please have some. You definitely don't look like you're from Anuenue.

Where did you meet her? Her? The woman you asked about.

The woman, you know, she's cool, strong and...and brave.

I wanna be just like her when I grow up...

But I can't... I just don't have what it takes... Both the waterwheel and the Celestial Flowers...Everything went so well because you helped us.

Thank you, everyone. If my grandma takes her medicine, she'll get better. The animals in the Celestial Tree are becoming violent...Looks like they're afraid of something.

As Keepers, we try not to get too close to them, as it can be quite dangerous.

But it's difficult for me to get the Celestial Flowers...

Umm...if...if you have any Celestial Flowers, could you please give me some? I can't make the medicine for my grandma unless I have Celestial Flowers, and they're very hard for me to get...

Umm, I know I just got one from you and... and I feel bad to ask...but...

It helps to have a lot of Celestial Flowers on hand, so if you happen to find more, could you please bring them to me? Oh, Mayfee, you were with everyone?

I was surprised that you disappeared all of a sudden. You'll have to excuse me talking to you like this. My health hasn't been what it used to be.

With this frail old body of mine, I doubt I'll be able to leave the bed to see the Celestial Flowers, even if they do bloom... What are you saying, Grandma?! You'll get better. I promise. I'm praying for you everyday!

Oh, why don't you let the travelers hear your story about when you were a Keeper? You...enjoyed that story?

Well, travelers, would you like to hear an old woman's story? Sure. ...Is it long? We'd love to. ...Is it long? Well, umm, eerrr, you know, is this story...very long? Ha ha ha, how can the story of an old woman be anything but long? Please have patience and listen to it. Well, what the heck...we'd love to hear your story. Mayfee lost her parents when she was little. I'm the closest thing to a mother she has.

She also wanted to be a Keeper like myself and her parents before her. She finally became one, but it's only been a few days.

I somehow feel as if meeting you here was predestined. Please take good care of her while you're here. Mayfee just left. She said the waterwheel started working again and that she was going out to get a Celestial bud.

She kept asking me how I'm doing. So I told her nothing's changed. Then she said "So, it didn't work!"

I wonder what she meant by that. She's eager to make medicine from the Celestial Flowers.

She was trying to hide her real feelings behind that smile, so that I wouldn't be worried. It must've been hard...

But now I feel that she's joyful from the inside out. I owe you everything. Thank you. Oh, did you come to visit us today? Thanks to you, I've gotten so much better.

You and Mayfee have worked so hard for me. Thank you. Flames are burning fiercely. Perhaps the room is kept this warm for a sick person. The flower bed is very colorful. Never a dull moment with these flowers! Perfect for those who stay at home all day. There's a pot beside the fireplace. Something is inside. Curry There's a pot beside the fireplace. E0005310 Hut:04 Mayfee! Here, I got you something! Mayfee Oh, these are...

...

Wh-what are these?! Hey! They're Komo Mai cookies! You wanted them, right?

Oh?! Is that what these are? I'm sorry...it's just that I'd never seen any before.

Thank you! I'll offer them immediately! Oh Guardian Angel, please make my grandmother well...

Please make the waterwheel work soon... It worked! The angel heard my prayer! Now if I can get the Celestial Flowers, I'll be able to make medicine for Grandma!

Thank you everyone! Thank you Guardian Angel!

Now I'll go to my grandma's place!! Wow, that was a surprise. I guess you'll see some pretty mysterious things eventually if you live long enough... Well, that's what I'd like to believe, but... Yeah, sorry to say it, but we're not naive enough to believe in a miracle from the Guardian Angel.

You've had your fun. Come on out now. How did you know it was me? A broken waterwheel doesn't usually start working just because someone puts cookies on an altar. Hahaha, that's true!

I'd been working on the waterwheel for a while.

I just found the problem and had just finished fixing it.

But that doesn't really matter.

Just don't tell Mayfee that I fixed it.

By the way, you guys are waiting for that hermit woman, right?

She's back in her hut. Why don't you go see her? Oh man, he digs Mayfee, doesn't he? He should just tell her that he fixed it. He didn't want to...destroy the hopes and beliefs of someone he likes. Huh? Umm, nothing. Well, let's go see that woman now. ... I'm sorry. I was praying to the Guardian Angel.

I pray like this every day in hopes that my grandma gets well.

I also pray that the waterwheel will start working again, so even if Grandma doesn't get better,

I'll at least be able to use the mill to grind Celestial Flowers and make the medicine for her.

Medicine made from the Celestial Flowers will strengthen her body.

But my prayer seems to have fallen on deaf ears.

I guess I'll have to offer Komo Mai cookies after all...

*sigh* All I can do is pray... Leave her alone for now. She's praying as hard as she can. That girl, she prays for hours at a time. If I was that angel, I would grant her wish right away.

If only I could get my hands on some Komo Mai cookies. But those are pretty hard to come by these days... What's all this about Komo Mai cookies? Aren't you curious, ? Yeah, real curious. No, who cares? So am I. Hey, what are "Komo Mai cookies"? Komo Mai cookies? There's an old rumor that's been passed around in this village.

Offer Komo Mai cookies to the Guardian Angel, pray, and then your wish will be granted.

The cookies were being sold a long time ago in Komo Mai, but I haven't seen them around lately.

You probably won't find any there, but it wouldn't hurt to go and see. Really? I'm a little curious, though. Oh, well. The red flowers in bloom give off a sweet, pleasant fragrance. Upon closer inspection, you notice something stuck underneath the flower pot. Lupus It's a potted plant with red flowers. You've seen these flowers before in Komo Mai. There's something left in the tub. Uncooked Rice It's a well-used tub. But it's maintained very well, so it still has a long life ahead. Flash Explosion The large device is probably linked to the waterwheel outside. Even if you pushed or pulled hard, the cogwheels probably wouldn't budge now. A stone mortar of several hundred pounds is spinning with great force. It's dangerous to put your hands in there! It's a well-used stone mortar. When you take it in your hands, it feels like you've owned it for a long time. A cooking pot is sitting over crackling flames. The food in the pot gives off a tantalizing aroma. The stone altar exudes a mysterious atmosphere. Looking at it more closely, you notice an engraving resembling a human face. -- Celestial Tree -- E0005317 Trunk 1:01 You stand before the Celestial Tree. Our duty is to oversee that the sanctity of this sacred tree is not violated.

We cannot allow outsiders to climb it. Please respect the customs of our nation and leave peacefully. We already have our hands full with the tourists here for the Thirty Year Festival.

Please don't cause us any additional trouble. What? You want to apologize for your rudeness?

It's too late for that now. Pushy people like you really get on my nerves. Please leave! I don't want to see your faces around here anymore! This is amazing... The Celestial Tree is blooming!

It's a miracle! I can't believe what I'm seeing... Celestial Flowers...they are so beautiful... Did you make the Celestial Tree bloom? No...That can't be... I'm assuming you came after hearing news of the Celestial Tree's abnormal condition.

As a Keeper of the Tree, I won't allow you to pass!

Oh...Who am I kidding? I know I can't stop you from going up. *sigh*...I'm just not cut out to be a Keeper. Okay, okay. You can pass. Just go right ahead.

You'd climb up anyway even if I did try to stop you... Do as you wish. Trying to stop you is useless. Do whatever you want. Travelers... Did you come here to climb the Celestial Tree?

I'm sorry, but only those born in Anuenue are allowed to climb the tree.

I have to ask you to respect our ancient customs and leave peacefully. The souls of our dead are said to gather at the foot of the Celestial Tree.

For outsiders, it may be just another big tree, but to us this tree is very important. I only stopped keeping watch for a second... And before I knew it, Mayfee climbed up the tree.

I have a really bad feeling about this...It's never a good sign when the birds are restless. Thank goodness. She's all right.

If something were to happen to Mayfee, her grandmother would be shattered.

Mayfee, promise me you'll never do such a foolish thing again. I've been a Keeper for thirty years, but I've never seen anything like this. A peculiar hole's opened up at the top of the Celestial Tree.

People are saying the blossoming of the Celestial Flowers may have caused it. You may have a good reason for wanting to climb up the Celestial Tree...

But many want to climb it just to witness its rare beauty. We Keepers are always dealing with those tourists...

It's been a while since I've been able to feed the birds so leisurely. These days, more and more kids seem to want to play here.

They're all fussing over empty insect shells. It's probably just a new fad. ...Huh? I'm trying to get some sleep here. If you've got a question, ask the other Keepers, okay?

The Keepers work three shifts around the clock—morning, day, and night.

It's my turn for the nightshift. So how about it? Let me get some sleep. You're really pushing it, you know. I said don't disturb me. Asking me over and over isn't going to help you... What?! You still want to bother me? Why am I still awake?

Because somebody keeps bothering me!!

Now, please leave me alone. It's gonna be a rough night... and it's all your fault. The Celestial Flowers are in bloom! Come dance with us!

Didn't I want to sleep, you ask? How can I sleep on a day like this?! The Celestial Flowers are in bloom! Come dance with us! Ninety years have passed since the last blooming. This calls for the celebration and dance of a lifetime! Ohh...I think I danced too hard... Why is the world spinning?

Nothing helps you recover from dance burnout like Apple Vinegar, but we've run out of stock... If only I had some Apple Vinegar, I would be up and about in no time. I can feel the energy surging back into my body. Thanks for the Apple Vinegar.

This time I'm glad you disturbed me! Here, I want you to have this. Flugel Shield Oh yeah, I'm back in action! Mayfee went up the Celestial Tree!

The veteran Keepers have been telling us the tree is too dangerous to climb right now...

I hope Mayfee's all right. I hope Mayfee's all right. Are you the one who saved Mayfee? Thanks a lot. Thank you for saving Mayfee. Hurrah! Hurrah! The Celestial Flowers are in bloom! They're so beautiful. We've been getting so many visitors since the Celestial Flowers bloomed.

Everyone wants to see the flowers up close. All these visitors sure keep us on our toes... We're looking for empty insect shells. The Celestial Tree is the best spot to find them. They're really shiny and gold. Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Squ-squeak. Squeak squeak! Squeeeeak. ...Pigeons.

Come to think of it, we were supposed to take some animals to Kaffaljidhma.

And, well, this is an animal. Should we take it, ? Pigeons...

Come to think of it, we were supposed to take some animals to Kaffaljidhma.

Should we take it, ? Let's take it with us. Let's leave it here. Okay. Let's take this little guy. Time to go! Okay. I'll take this cute one. Let's get going! Pigeon Pigeons. You! Stop right there! How many times do I have to tell you? Outsiders are not permitted to climb. I can't let you pass. You see a blanket and a drool-stained pillow. There's nothing useful here. You see a stack of empty food cartons.

Upon closer inspection, you notice one of the cartons has something in it. Crater You see a stack of empty food cartons. Corellia Staying nice and fair, while the whole world falls apart...He may be right.

The witches have disappeared, and the Celestial Tree has yet to bloom.

Anuenue is faltering, slowly but surely...

as a great oak turns to dust, slowly decaying over the years... So, this is the Celestial Tree... This tree is huge! What is it? What a breathtaking sight!

This is a huge colony, made up of countless trees growing in symbiosis.

I've never seen a colony of this size and vitality.

Most colonies would have decayed from the inside, turning into hollow vestiges... So, this is the Celestial Tree... The spring in Sadal Suud, the cave in Diadem... Here, in Anuenue, it's the trees...

Water, air, wood... What's on your mind, ? Oh, it's nothing. Is it really here? Is the third End Magnus around here somewhere? Hey! Hold on, ! Keeper Where do you think you're going?! This area is off limits!

Strangers aren't allowed to set foot here. Turn back immediately. So you're one of the Keepers, huh? Of course. Please don't make things difficult.

Mayfee has caused enough trouble already... Mayfee? What's wrong? She seems to have gone up the tree on her own.

Her grandmother fell sick all of a sudden...

Tree vermin have really been worked up lately...which means it's extra dangerous!

Climbing the tree without permission is strictly forbidden, even for experienced Keepers... She must've gone looking for buds from the Celestial Tree... No! Wait, ! You can't go! Sorry, lady. We're in a bit of a hurry, here. I'm sorry. Please excuse us. Don't worry. We'll find Mayfee for you, and bring her back safe and sound. No! Wait! All of you! ...Don't say I didn't warn you... Oh dear... ! Wait! Hey, I think we oughta trust her.

She has an attitude, but she doesn't strike me as a liar. Yeah, I think we can trust her, too. Wouldn't you say so, ? Hmmm... If you all say so, then it's all right with me... Good! That's that. Let's get back to the city, now. Hey...I wonder if Geldoblame actually left the island and went back to his Empire... Hmmm... I hope he isn't waiting for us back at the palace, armed to the teeth and ready to pounce.

That freak is the last person I want pouncing on me. I wouldn't worry about it. They won't try anything drastic in front of the Queen. I agree. The Empire wouldn't want its relations with Anuenue to sour. At least not yet. Enough chitchat. Let's go. Is everyone ready? Kodelle The powers of four continents weren't enough, it seems! Catranne Oh no! Why now! Humph! Prepare yourselves! E000531E Trunk 2:02 ...! There she is! Wild Cherry Bud You all right, Mayfee? Mayfee Yes... Thanks for coming for me, . ...What were you thinking, coming up here all alone?

Being a Keeper, you should know how dangerous this place is. ...I'm sorry.

Grandma got real sick,

so I had to do something.

I came up here to find a Celestial Flower bud, to make it bloom somehow.

I couldn't get too far on my own though... ... , I wish I was strong and brave like you. Don't be silly!

Strong and brave like me? You've got quite an imagination. I'm not really so...

Don't make too much of me. You need to believe in yourself, Mayfee...

...and live your life in your own way. ... So what's next? Is she going with us? ...Of course. We can't leave her alone here.

Besides, when we get to the top we'll be needing Mayfee's help. She's a Keeper, you know. ...Will you help us, Mayfee? ...Sure! Thank you, . E0005325 Trunk 3:03 An empty shell glowing a bright golden hue lies on the floor. A warm light shines in the hollow of the Celestial Tree. E000532C The Top:04 Mayfee You need to get in, right, ? Right. It's very important, Mayfee. Can you remove the seal? Uh-huh. I'm a Keeper, remember? Just watch. ...That should do it. Please be careful, okay?

You're going into the tree's core. There's no telling what could happen. I know. Come on, guys. This must be an Interdimensional Crack. Could everyone be trapped on the other side?

I don't have time to think about this. , are you ready? We're going into this Interdimensional Crack. , are you ready? I'm ready. Not yet. Okay, let's do it. All right. Let's take a little time to prepare. Great to see everyone back together! Yes, finally. I'm so relieved that we're all safe. So...What do you propose we do now, ? Let's go back to Anuenue first.

I want to let Queen Corellia, King Ladekahn and Lord Calbren know that I've found everyone. We also need to ask them about any new developments. Right. Let's move out. Time to kick some outer dimensional butt! -- Trail of Souls -- E0005333 For Event 1 ... E000533A For Event 2 Whoa! Ahhh!! Argh!! Run! Let's see what's going on. E0005341 For Event 3(Deck) What is it? Oh, nothing, really. ...Well, okay, . No offense, but I don't totally believe your story.

I'd say the others feel the same way. Figures. But it's not important.

I don't care whether you believe me or not.

Just don't stand in my way.

Friend or foe... ...stand in my way, and I'll take you out.

You may not believe my story, but you'd best believe my warning, for your own good. Hey...

Just because I don't fully trust you... it's not like I hate you. ... ... Cast light upon the darkened earth... Save those lost in despair...

O Mighty Ocean, guide us as we journey through... The darkest pit of night... The darkest pit of night. Huh. Yes. All life will eventually return to the sea... That's my nation's prayer. The one I said in Moonguile Forest, where we first met.

You know it by heart. What are you doing out here? Nothing, really...I was just...thinking. Thinking? About the End Magnus...

Ar, Le, Che...

The only one we have is the one they call "Che"... What the heck are these things?

So they contain Malpercio's power. "The power of an ancient, evil god." But what exactly are they? I don't know... Some things in life we're just not supposed to know... By the way, , you said you're from Mira, right?

Did you hear any stories back home about the End Magnus? No...nothing that comes to mind. I see... Which part of Mira did you grow up in? ...I don't know. You don't know? I never knew my parents... My grandfather found me when I was a child.

The first thing I remember is living with Gramps and Fee. I'm sorry... I didn't know... Hey. Don't be. Meemai Squeak squeak. What's wrong, Meemai? Squeak. ...? What is that...over there? Huh? Where? Hey, stop right there! Who...or what are you? Person wearing a mask I be the Great Mizuti. What you be doing here? The Great...? Great Mizuti Correct. The Great thinks, therefore the Great be.

The Great Mizuti was headed for Mira, but took a wrong turn somewhere. Just a little wrong turn. Do you...er... Would the Great happen to know the way to Mira? Oh yes of course! The Great Mizuti be here by accident. By mistake. By coincidence.

The Great couldn't possibly be disoriented. Most definitely not. I'm not sure I understand all this, but...

We're headed for Mira as well. Would the Great kindly take us along? Why not? You should follow the Great , then. The Great Mizuti has our gratitude!! I'll go ask to fire up the ship! Hey...wait! ! Don't tell me you actually trust... I don't know... Some things in life we're just not supposed to know... By the way, Kalas, you said you're from Mira, right? The darkest pit of night, huh? E0005348 Outer Dimension in Darkness How to Operate the Mindeer

To navigate through this dimension, you need to control the Mindeer and defend it from enemy attacks.

You can fire the Mindeer's cannon to shoot down approaching enemies.

The Mindeer can be controlled as follows: Use the Control Stick to move the Mindeer left and right. Note: You can't move it up or down.

Press the A Button to fire the Mindeer's main cannon.

The shots will home in on the nearest enemy, switching to the next if that target is destroyed.

If you push and hold the R Button when firing the cannon, the cannon will be fired in the direction the Mindeer is heading. Successfully shooting down an entire group of enemies will grant you

Magnus pickups. These will be added to your inventory when you manage to get out of this dimension. Great Mizuti If you go too far from Great Mizuti, you'll get swallowed up in the hole to another dimension.

Be careful! If you be ready, let's go! Okay, let's go. I'm not ready yet. Catch up to Great Mizuti. Okay? You should try and keep up with Great Mizuti. Great Mizuti Trust Great Mizuti. There be nothing to worry about.

But... There is one thing you should know.

Scary monsters are said to exist within this Portal to an Outer Dimension. They try to eat people who enter.

Great Mizuti be busy finding the way to Mira.

Don't count on Great Mizuti's assistance. You should protect yourself. Understood? Yeah. I know.

Great Mizuti, you should be careful not to take another wrong turn. All right. Trust the Great Mizuti. You be ready? We be launching! Yoo-hoo, Kalas! Where you be going? E000534F Outer Dimension Exit Swaying on the waves, the flowing waves

How far shall we go tonight...

Ta-ladi-da-di-da, Ta-ladi-da

To the rounded moon, to the scarlet star, to your slumbering island off afar?

Ta-ladi-da-di-da, Ta-ladi-da

O Mighty Song, scatter long... a flower fresh become

O Sweet Flower, bloom and shower... a guiding path in times to come

Two souls, swaying...on a sea of dreams, praying

Traveling on to kingdom come

Two small vessels of one long endeavor Fates entwined...pressing on forever

Ta-ladi-da-di-da, Ta-ladi-da So...does the Great know how much longer it is to Mira? Great Mizuti ... Don't tell me you're lost. ...!! Something's coming!! Oh! Hole to another dimension be open! Kill the monster, fly in hole! This hole take you back to Trail of Souls. Hurry up, fly in. Phew...glad that's over. I didn't think it would end. Hey, we're all still in one piece, right? That's what counts. That's right. Shall we? -- Mira : City of Illusion -- E0005356 Sub World Are we gonna get on the Mindeer, ? Are we going to get on the Mindeer, ? Yes, let's go. Not just yet. Are we gonna get on the White Dragon, ? Are we going to get on the White Dragon, ? We shouldn't go back now. We have to find Melodia first. -- Parnasse, the Confectionary Village -- E000535D Shop:00 Conversation with a store clerk in Parnasse E0005364 Outside:01 Tisocco Enough! I'm telling you, nothing can beat my scrumptious Parsolme! They're second to none! Donella You can't be serious! My Atonaruson are the best! Nothing comes close to their sweet goodness! Poppycock!! Hogwash!! ??? Both of you, please stop fighting. So many of us are waiting for your new recipes. Oh, Lady Melodia! Melodia I couldn't possibly choose between the pastries you make. Both of you are so talented.

Please... You honor me, er...us with your kind words, Milady. If you come up with anything new, get it to me as soon as possible. I'm such a greedy girl. Once my new pastries are finished, I will deliver a platterful, immediately!

You have my word, Milady! How wonderful. I can hardly wait. Have a nice day, both of you. Oh... ... Thank you, dark-winged traveler. I appreciate your help. That's Lady Melodia, granddaughter of Duke Calbren, Lord of Mira.

Her parents, the Grand Prince and Princess, died when she was still very young.

Now she lives alone with her grandfather, Lord Calbren. So graceful, so pure of heart. She's simply wonderful.

Now, back to the oven. Can't keep Lady Melodia waiting now, can we? How right you are! Back to work! You just wait and see, Donella. Lady Melodia will fall head over heels for my next recipe! No, you just watch. She'll fly to the heavens once she tastes my new pastries! This is the Confectionary Village, Parnasse. It's full of pastry makers, and of course, pastries. Don't eat too much! Aren't you the ones who were caught earlier? You don't have to hide.

People from Lady Melodia's mansion came and told us everything.

So there's no need to worry. I must say "job well done" for saving Lady Melodia from those thugs. Have you seen Lady Melodia anywhere?

I haven't seen her lately. I'm worried that she might have been kidnapped again. Rumor has it that the Emperor of Alfard has passed away. I wonder if Lady Melodia had anything to do with it. The main topic of conversation around here has been the pastry contest.

It makes my mouth water every time I hear about it. Listening to too much "sweets talk" will make your mouth water. If only we had that, our teacher, Miss Donella, would definitely win first prize in the contest this time. If only we had that, our Master Tisocco would definitely win first prize in the contest this time. What are you going on about?! If WE get that, the first prize will definitely go to Miss Donella! What are YOU saying?! If WE get that, Master Tisocco will definitely win!!!

How about that? The strawberry on your head makes you look like yesterday's shortcake. Look who's talking! That pan on your head makes you look like an old geezer. You idiot! There's no way Master Tisocco will lose to that cruel, contemptuous, coldhearted wench!!

You'll see! I'll get that thing, and my master will win first prize!! Bring it on!! There's no way Miss Donella will lose to that stubborn pinhead!!

You'll see!! I'll get that thing, and my teacher will win first prize!! ...Even with all my enthusiasm, I still don't know how to get my hands on that...

Celestial Flower Seeds are so expensive. There's no way I can afford one... *sigh* What am I gonna do... Wow! How did you do it? Are you a wizard or something?

Well, it doesn't really matter.

With this, Miss Donella will definitely win!! We're gonna be busy now!!

Thank you! I'll give you something that's of great importance to me! Silk Robe Sweets made by Miss Donella are so much better than anything made by plain ol' middle-aged nobodies!

Sweets made by a lot of people working together are the best of all! Ahahaha, Miss Donella will win for sure. I just need to make sure nobody finds out about this. Sweets made by Miss Donella are definitely better than anything else! A draw?! No way.

Sweets made by a lot of people working together are the best of all!

No matter what anyone says, Miss Donella has this contest in the bag!! See? Miss Donella won the first prize! From now on, it's the era of Miss Donella, hehehe! Sweets made by Miss Donella are definitely the best! Our teacher will never lose!!

Sweets made by a lot of people working together are the best of all! What are you blabbing on about?! If WE had that, the first prize would definitely go to Master Tisocco! What are YOU talking about?!! If WE get that, Miss Donella will definitely win!!!

Look who's talking! That pan on your head makes you look like an old geezer! How about you? That strawberry on your head makes you look like yesterday's shortcake! You idiot! There's no way Miss Donella will lose to a middle-aged creep!!

You'll see!! I'll get that thing and my teacher will win first prize!! Huh?! Oh yeah? There's no way Master Tisocco can lose to that cold-hearted wench!!

You'll see! I'll get that thing and my teacher will laugh all the way to the bank!! ...Even though I seem confident, I don't really know how to get my hands on that...

As a kid, there's no way I can get any Mountain Apple Wine...This sucks. Wow! How'd you do that?! Was that some sort of magic?!

Oh, what difference does it make. Thanks!!

Now that we've got it, Master Tisocco will win first prize for sure!! We're gonna be real busy till the contest!!

Thank you. I'll give you my most prized possession. Second Hand Master Tisocco's sweets rule. There's none better. He's different from the rest.

His individually hand-made cookies are not only highly acclaimed in Mira, but also accepted as the standard of excellency around the world. Yes siree, Master Tisocco has first prize in the bag. I just need to make sure SHE doesn't find out about this. Master Tisocco's sweets rule. There's none better. A tie?! No way.

His individually hand-made cookies are not only highly acclaimed in Mira, but also accepted as the standard of excellency around the world.

Master Tisocco has to win first prize!! Master Tisocco's sweets rule. There's none better. He lost?!

His individually hand-made cookies are not only highly acclaimed in Mira, but also accepted as the standard of excellency around the world. Hehe, in your face!! From now on, it's all Master Tisocco. Hmm? You're from another nation? That's unusual. How did you get into Mira?

This place has been trapped in a separate dimension for a long time. So getting visitors from the outside is very rare.

Oh, someone like Lady Melodia, who's in Mira at the moment, comes and goes between here and the outside world on a big ship. That ship, the one that's docked in the port, is that yours? Well, it's quite magnificent.

No wonder you could get to Mira so easily. Everyone's so excited about who's gonna win, Donella or Tisocco. Both of them make top-notch pastries.

I'd better stop... Just thinking about them makes me drool... The transport ships from the Empire have suddenly stopped coming. Did something happen? Fat Man with a Bracelet You're giving me this? Thank you!!

*gulp* *gulp*! *slurp* *slurp*! *gulp* Aaahhh! You're giving me this? Thank you!!

*crunch* *crunch*! *munch* *munch*! *gobble* *gobble*! This is so darn good! More of this and I'll do anything you say! I know. You want my signature on the Family Tree, right? I guess I don't have a choice, now, do I? It's okay...I guess. Nubata I'll just have another bite, then I'll head over to Grandpa Quz's place. Please go ahead, I'll catch up later. What the...Don't I need to write my name? Oh well, that's okay. I'm getting hungry anyway. This town is paradise. You can eat till your heart's content and there's nothing to worry about.

I've been eating non-stop since breakfast, so I'm pretty full. I'm on a break now—just had a heavy meal! This town is paradise. You don't need any money to eat like a king here. Watch out though, or you'll get fat like me! So, you're looking for the relatives of Quzman? I'm his grandson, Nubata. What do you want?

What?? Grandpa Quz is in critical condition? That's what happens when you don't eat enough. *wheeze* *wheeze*

All right, I'll go. But Sabin is not at Grandpa Quz's house, right? Okay, if he's not there, that's cool. Me and him just don't hit it off, if you know what I mean. Cats and dogs.

Can you hand me the Family Tree? Let's see, so I just write my name here, right?

He's already there. What should I tell this guy, ? He's already there. How should I answer, ? He's already there. He's not there yet. Sabin is already at your grandpa's place. What? He's there?? Then I won't go.

Unless he comes and apologizes to me, I refuse to go to Grandpa Quz's house, and I won't sign the Family Tree either. He...he's not there yet... You're lying! I can see it in your eyes.

Unless he comes and apologizes to me, I refuse to go to Grandpa Quz's house, and I won't sign the Family Tree either. What? You changed your mind and want my signature? Then hand me the Family Tree. *Wheeze* *wheeze*... I've eaten a lot. So, I won't be able to eat for a while.

What? Look, I'm not going if Sabin is there. I won't sign the Family Tree either unless he apologizes.

Or unless...unless you give me something really tasty. You're so persistent! Look, I won't sign the Family Tree as long as Sabin is there! That lowlife calls me "fatty" all the time. I'm always made out to be the bad guy.

Whatever mischief he causes, I am always the scapegoat because I'm fat.

Every time he's around, bad things happen to me. So forget it, I won't go. Okay. I'll go to Grandpa Quz's house. So, hand me the Family Tree, will you? *wheeze* *burp* Chocolate and whipped cream sandwiches are quite filling.

I'll eat a bit more, then I'll go to Grandpa Quz's place. Please go ahead, I'll catch up later. I'm getting sick of the chocolate along the walls. I guess I'll try the roof next. Mira is a dreamlike nation that exists between the borders of this world and another dimension.

And the Shrine of Spirits is the strangest place of all.

That's where the border between dimensions is the thinnest.

Guardian Spirits, as the name suggests, descend here and sometimes bond with people.

Of course, one must be a gifted prayer to be able to meet these spirits.

If you want to learn more about the Shrine of Spirits, ask the people of Picture Book Village.

Even people from other towns gather there to receive the power of the spirits. Mira is a dreamlike nation that exists between the borders of this world and another dimension.

It was different a long time ago, but I'm not a history expert.

If you want to know more about Mira's history, go see my friend in the Borough of Illusion.

If you decide to go there, you should look her up. She would enjoy telling you about it. My friend lives a quiet life in the Borough of Illusion and has two grandchildren. At my age, the doctors urge me to just say "No" to sweets.

I'm trying to lose weight so that I'll be able to eat more sweets at the contest.

Why don't you join, too? Ho, one-two, three-four. It's bad for my health to go on such a strict diet.

A proper diet calls for moderate sleep, food, and exercise. Phew. I ate so much! Hmmm... who won the contest?

I was so busy eating that I didn't even see who won.

Someone around there must know. Ask them for me. The weight I lost from the dieting returned practically overnight. The doctors will scold me again. Ahh! I'll never go to the Mystical Garden again. I've got no idea what's going on in there!!

When I thought I was walking upstairs, I was actually walking downstairs.

Then when I thought I was walking downstairs, I was actually going upstairs... It's so confusing. Did you hear all the fuss about "Pauly" being in Balancoire?

I went there to see what it was all about, but it wasn't anything special. Just an old Pollywhale that got stuck in the watercourse.

What's so amusing about that? What a waste of time! Did you come to see the sweets contest? This year it was a duel between Tisocco and Donella.

If you wanna know who won, ask the kids hanging around over there. You look as if you regret coming to our nation.

This village is pretty plain, isn't it?

...Well, the Picture Book Village might be of some interest to you. Have you been to the Picture Book Village yet?

Did you like it? It's extraordinary, isn't it? This place is mundane compared to that village, don't you think? Saying this place is normal compared to Picture Book Village isn't saying much at all. Hey, don't make such a rude face while looking around my hometown. This village is pretty ordinary, isn't it?

I heard there's a hole in the floor at the Duke's Manor.

Compared to that "hole," this place is a whole lot better, right? The Duke's Manor? Oh, rumor has it that that place is haunted. Hey! hey! Don't look so depressed. You're looking at my village! I was born and raised here!

Regardless of how this village looks, it's pretty famous, so we attract students from all over the world. It's a renowned village for expert craftsmen that attracts students from all over the world. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeak squeak. Squeak. Squ-squeak. My Parsolme are the best in the world! No question about it! Well, my Atonaruson are the best in the universe! That's a fact! Nonsense!! How dare you!! What are they fighting about? These must be the strangers they were talking about. Where were you? What have you been up to? Hey, what's the big idea? What do you want with us? Don't play innocent! Lady Melodia has been kidnapped!

By a group of suspicious-looking strangers, from what we've heard.

Must be the lot of you. Who else could it be? What? You're out of your mind! Trill Wait! Everyone! He's an old friend of mine. He'd never do something like that! Then who could it be?

No one in Mira would even think of doing such a thing to Lady Melodia!

Are you saying the Empire is behind this?

The Lady is a personal friend of Emperor Geldoblame, as you well know. I...er... Get out of the way, Trill! You'll be in trouble, too, if you keep acting like that. Ouch!! Don't touch her! , no! We should do as they say...for now... Dang! E000536B House:02 .........Hey I think I've got it! Think about it, this house is made of candy.

We can just eat our way out. Just nibble a hole in the wall. Then we can crawl out through the hole without being noticed. I see. Then we'll be able to get out without harming the villagers. See? Great idea, huh? So, who's gonna make the hole? What? I'm just asking who's going to eat a huge clump of sugar. Umm, that's... I-I don't think I should... You know, sweets and girls don't... you know...They're not good for us girls... Thank you, but I too must decline the offer. I was always told not to eat too many sweets when I was a child... Likewise. I don't hate sweets, but I'm not into eating so much sugar. You can count me out.

Well, whoever thought up this idea should do it. Right?

Right, ? ...

...Fine! I'll eat it! Just you watch! Uuuggh...I...I can't eat anymore... Hey, don't you wanna eat this part? Eat just a little, just the edge? Please? It's not bad for a wall. No thanks. You're almost done. Keep on going, . Oh man. I'm feeling a little sick. Trill Yikes!

I can't believe this! You ate the wall?? Are you insane? What's up, Trill? Did you come to break us out? I...umm... I believe you guys!!

Looks like the people who kidnapped Lady Melodia were heading to Picture Book Village.

If you plan to go after them, use this route, .

I'm still planning on making you some sweets, you know. So don't go dying on me! Lady Melodia has honored us with her presence!

I'll treasure this day for as long as I live. But what can I do to make her stay as pleasant as possible? Ahh, so busy! Lady Melodia came here personally...

I was so nervous, I couldn't talk normally.

It was the opportunity of a lifetime! Oh my word... It's already been a few days since Lady Melodia left for the Empire.

No way! Did something happen to her while she was at the Empire? I'm so worried. There's an awful rumor that Lady Melodia is leading the forces of darkness...

She's such a kind woman and would never even hurt a fly.

Someone must be manipulating her mind. I must've heard it wrong. A person as noble and beautiful as her could never do such a thing... Ahh, the pure stature of Lady Melodia... She looks like an angel.

No wonder she's become a favorite with the Emperor. Everyone would want to cherish her. Ahh, the purity of Lady Melodia... I can't stop thinking about her purity and innocence...

No wonder she's become a favorite with the Emperor. Since Lady Melodia's been missing, everyone seems to be in a panic.

I heard that Duke Calbren has also gone somewhere...

I wonder what happened to Lady Melodia... ...I'm very worried. Everyone outside is excited about the sweets contest. I participated last year.

I finished pretty high, so Lady Melodia came to visit me this year. This year I didn't participate because Lady Melodia wasn't going to be at the contest...

Well, enough talk of the past, let's just enjoy this contest. Melodia Hm? You're the one with black wings...thank you for helping me. I appreciate it.

I take it you're still traveling around. I pray that your journey is a good one. Hehehe... As I thought, the tea in Parnasse is special. Both the tea and the sweets are quite elegant.

Let's take some back to my grandfather. I bet he'll be pleased. Don't you think so, Peachy? Peachy Thank you very much. It would've been horrible if something had happened. We'll have to get out of here to save Lady Melodia...

But the problem is how to get out. Ha! They locked us up in a house made of candy. Isn't there any way to get out, and yet not harm the villagers? It's not at all difficult for us to break through this village.

But that's not a wise course of action. If we try to force our way out of the village, we'll stir up their suspicions even more. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeeeak. Guards are posted outside. We can't get out from here. Sugar, salt, flour...The indispensable ingredients for making sweets are in these bottles, and they're lined up neatly. This kitchen is clean and well organized. You see something on the floor. Fresh Beef The kitchen is well-stocked and tidy. You can see the owner has taken good care of the tools and utensils. Looking into the oven, you see fierce flames licking the glass window. It's a commercial oven that is built to bake everything well no matter what you put in. Powdered sugar is sprinkled all over the sides of the sponge cake. It's made so well that it's hard to believe it's a part of the wall. It's a dresser made of chocolate. You can see something stuck between it. Chronos Armor It's a dresser made of chocolate. The chest itself looks more appetizing to moths than the clothes. We've reported your capture to the Duke's Manor. Palace Guards will be coming by shortly.

Until then, behave yourselves! So now what? Any bright ideas? I'm worried about the little Lady. The Empire must have kidnapped her. Giacomo's men! Their intent must be to force Mira to hand over the End Magnus in exchange for her safety. The Empire must be running out of time,

now that both Diadem and Anuenue are taking measures against them. Mira lacks the military strength needed to face the Empire. That's true... So what should we do? Let's save Melodia! Let's wait for the guards. You're right, .

We can't just sit here and wait. We must find Lady Melodia and rescue her ourselves! But would they believe our story?

If not, it could be ages before they let us go! You're right...we can't just sit here and wait. I guess we'll have to risk it. We must find Lady Melodia and rescue her ourselves! Okay then. So how do we get out of here? E0005372 Tisocco's Confectionary Shop :03 Trill Yes, this is it. Thank you, Kalas!

Master Tisocco's new recipe wouldn't be complete without this chocolate.

If only he and Donella worked together, they could make so much more, and be so much better. I wonder why they're both so stubborn.

Anyway, it's really been a while, hasn't it, ! Strange rumors? Yeah. Has anything strange been going on here recently? Yeah... You could say it's been pretty weird here lately.

For one, the Empire shows up all of a sudden. There was also something about a mysterious, shining Magnus. A shining Magnus? Uh-huh.

I was in the Mystical Garden, looking for Clemon...that's something we use in the pastries.

I'd heard rumors about people seeing a strange light in the garden, but didn't really believe them.

Just another tale, I figured...

Then, at the far end of the Garden, it appeared out of nowhere! Just like that, out of thin air.

It scared the wits out of me, and I ran away as fast as I could. Are you sure, Trill? You weren't just seeing things? I'm not kidding! It really happened!! Does the Empire know about this? Hmmm, I don't think so.

They wouldn't take time to listen to us pastry cooks.

I heard they were in a rush to get to the city. , we should go take a look at that garden. It's not far from here. Just north of town. I see. Thanks, Trill. Hey Kalas, I want you to try some of the pastries I make, once they're ready. Remember to drop by later, okay? Thanks. I will. Tisocco What is it? I'm busy at the moment. Tell Trill over there what you need.

...If I could only get some Mira chocolate, this wouldn't be so frustrating...*mumble mumble*... Trill still hasn't finished her job yet? She'll never be competent if she slacks off like this! That wench Donella...Her sweets wouldn't taste that good if it weren't for my Mira cream.

...Since she got her hands on my Mira cream, I'll need something extra special to secure victory. Hey, Trill!! You don't need to do that anymore. We're making different sweets now!! What is it? I'm busy at the moment. Tell Trill over there what you need.

...If I mix this with our cream, and then add a dash of Mirage Weed...Hmmm... Just as I thought, my Parsolme is number one in the world.

Now she'll finally be convinced I'm better. What is it? I'm busy at the moment. Tell Trill over there what you need.

Well? Did you find any Mira chocolate? I'm sorry, but I can't chat unless I get some Mira chocolate. We'll talk later. You're going to the Mystical Garden, aren't you? After you leave the village, it's on the path to the west. That place is strange, so please be careful.

If you come back safe and sound, my homemade sweets will be waiting for you! Please come back safely!! Since Donella got her hands on Mira cream, my master seems much more fanatical. But he seems to be enjoying it at the same time.

I guess it's good to have a rival. Well, I'll have to do my best as well. I'm sorry, I'm busy at the moment and I can't really talk with you right now.

This job will definitely make me into a top-notch pastry maker. Work comes before play. So, there was a reason my master was competing with Donella.

As a matter of fact, my master and Donella were once engaged.

Then they had a huge argument over who goes into whose shop and finally they broke off their engagement...

He told me this when he got drunk after the contest.

Well, they're adults now, right? One of them should've compromised.

After this year's contest, he kinda changed his way of seeing things.

Maybe in time, they'll get back together again...I kinda feel like it's going to happen, just by looking at them. Sorry , I've got my hands full. Mira cream is in the pot. It's specially made by Master Tisocco. Take it. Don't take it. Mira Cream Mira cream is stored in these pots. It's specially made by Master Tisocco. When you open the lid of the pot, you see it's filled with sweet-smelling cream. Bread that's been baked to a golden brown. Looks like they're putting on the finishing touches. You don't know what it's for, but a timer is on the fridge.

Something is stuck to the refrigerator door. Frozen Tangerine There's a timer on the fridge. Maybe it's used to measure the cooldown time. Pots made of giant hollowed out fruits are on a table that's made of sponge cake. Steam is rising from the freshly made pastries. Looking at them makes you drool. What a huge cake! Maybe there's going to be a wedding soon. The decorations are also huge. It's an apple-shaped oven. A savory smell is coming from the bread inside. It was baked with just the right amount of heat. Oh, I didn't know you could cook. You wanna cook some bird meat? Sure, you can use the oven. You've obtained Roasted Bird You're spoiling it! Don't cook it!! It's best when you eat it raw!! Hey hey! Don't bake that!! The stinky smell will ruin the bread!! Huh? If you put that in the oven, it'll burn and you won't be able to eat it. Huh? If you put that in the oven, it'll melt away. ...You want me to kick your butt? You want to bake an apple? That may be innovative. I'll try it sometime. ? Is that you?! It's been a while, hasn't it! Almost two years since you left...

Two years since...the accident. My, how time flies!

Anyway, it's great to see you. You look well. Yeah...I guess so. What's with the outfit? Oh, you mean this? Eh eh, you're talking to an apprentice pastry cook under the great Master Tisocco. Wow! You, a pastry cook?

Say, Trill... I've been meaning to ask you something... Oh no, I did it again! Sorry, .

We have a lot of catching up to do, but I'm way too busy right now.

Hey, why don't you help me out a little?

Please? Why me? Come on, Kalas. Just a small favor? For an old friend?

Besides, I bet you're full of questions. So...please?? ...All right. So what should I do? Hmm, let me see...

We'll be needing some Mira chocolate.

Master Tisocco really needs some for his latest recipe,

but Donella across the street bought it all up, and the next shipment won't be in for a while.

Could you stop by Donella's bakery, and ask the people there if they could spare a little? You mean the lady who was squabbling with your Master a while ago? You think she'd actually give you some? Well...if she doesn't, we'll think of something else. Just ask someone in her bakery. Thanks, . Hmmm... Same old Trill! Okay, I'll go ask. E0005379 Donella's Confectionary Shop:04 Donella Yes? I'm busy at the moment. Talk to the students if you need anything.

...If I could only get some Mira cream, this wouldn't be so frustrating... *mumble mumble*... Everyone, please do your best to do as I taught you. Ah! That Tisocco!! He couldn't have gotten that perfect sweetness unless he had my Mira chocolate!!!

...If he has my chocolate, I won't be able to secure a victory. Yes? I'm busy at the moment. Talk to the students if you need anything.

...If I add Mira chocolate to this and knead it...Hmmm... Yes? I'm busy at the moment. Talk to the students if you need anything. A draw?! You must be kidding. But everyone always says my Atonaruson is the best in the universe! As expected, my Atonaruson is the best in the universe.

Now he'll be convinced that I'm better than him. Look at the fine luster of this Mira chocolate. It's been kneaded to death. This is the special ingredient of Donella's confectionary shop. What? You want me to give you some Mira chocolate? No, no, no, this is our special ingredient.

Well, I'll think about it if you don't mind swapping it for some of Tisocco's Mira cream.

Mira cream is the treasured ingredient of Tisocco's confectionary shop. It's stored safely away in his milk pots. No, no, no. No matter how much you beg, I won't trade Mira chocolate for anything but Mira cream. Oh!! The rich full-flavored smell and the slightly beige color!! This is Mira cream!!

I didn't think you could actually get it!! As I promised, here, take some Mira chocolate.

Just...take it without Miss Donella seeing you.

You just took it on your own, right? I don't know anything about it and I've got nothing to do with it, okay? Don't let Miss Donella know, okay? Here, take it while she's not looking. Still, why doesn't Tisocco cooperate with Miss Donella? They would make even better sweets together.

Those two are always competing, but there's a rumor they used to see each other. I wonder if it's true. Miss Donella has been mulling something over since that happened.

She's thinking of mixing Mira chocolate with something else.

With what? She would never say. I wonder why Tisocco doesn't cooperate with Miss Donella. They would make even better sweets together.

Those two have been getting along well lately.

I guess the rumor about them dating before might not be completely false. Everyone learns how to make sweets while they're young in this village.

I have an aptitude for it. Kneading dough is actually a veteran's job. I hear this year's new work is a collaboration of Mira chocolate and "that."

But I wonder what "that" is. I heard it's something that's not from around here. This year's new work is a combination of Mira chocolate and a Celestial Flower Seed!!

My teacher is the only one who is able to come up with such wonderful recipes!! She's a genius!! I'll follow her forever. *sigh* I came all the way from Diadem to learn how to make pastries, but all I'm doing now is carrying dough...

The girl next to me looks pretty young, but she's already kneading dough... How have you been? Me? I'm great!!

I was promoted from carrying dough to mixing dough!! Huh? You don't think there's much of a difference? Well, I see how one might think that way.

But how I mix actually affects the outcome of the pastries, which makes me so happy!!

Doing this is quite a step up from carrying dough! I worked hard for this position. Honest effort pays off in the end. It's actually a lot different from just carrying!! I'm glad I worked hard. Honest effort is rewarded in time. Miss Donella is wonderful. If you do as she says, you can definitely make good sweets.

Tisocco is no match for her. He only works by himself. She'll win the next contest for sure. My teacher has changed so much since the contest ended. She's like a totally different person now.

I'm not sure what it is exactly, but she seems more calm now. Hey, is it true that Lady Melodia's here? If so, I wanna go see her. But I can't take my eyes off the oven.

Oh, oh, oh, can you please, please take over for me for just a second?? Just for a little while, please? Whoa, whoa, I've never made pastries before. So I can't, right, ? Let's help. Right, we can't. Let's help. Right, we can't. Are you serious? Whatever happens, it's not my responsibility, okay? Oh, you'll cover for me a little while?! Well, thank you, thank you so much! He's really gone, isn't he? I don't know what I'm gonna do with this! Yeah, I don't wanna get scolded when I screw up. Sorry, kiddo!! Ask someone else, will ya? Wow, thank you. Thanks to you, I got to see Lady Melodia for a considerable amount of time.

But the pastries are all burnt. Were you watching them?? Aww, I wanted to see Lady Melodia so badly. So she's already gone is she? This year's contest is going down to the wire. Phew, this year's contest was pretty tight, wasn't it? There were so many original works.

Still, my teacher's and Tisocco's were so much better than the rest. Oh, you're also from the outside? I'm learning how to make sweets here. The people in this nation are a bit crazy.

A village made of sweets is pretty weird, but what they wear is even more messed up.

Well, come to think of it, it's different because it's isolated from the outside. I heard other places on this island are pretty weird, too.

Of course, people here say they're normal and people from other nations are the weird ones. I swear all these people ever talk about are pastries and Melodia.

I can't have an intellectual conversation with anyone here. I'm getting tired of living here. ...What? Right here is fine.

I'm telling you, I didn't get demoted to carrying dough. I wanted to carry dough. Oops, sorry. Even though I'm just a dough carrier, I'm a very busy man.

I don't have time to talk to some guy that has too much time on his hands. A lustrous, brown substance is being thoroughly kneaded. It smells savory, like cacao. Hey hey, please don't mess with that, okay? That's a very important ingredient for the pastries. Hey you! What are you doing?! Outsiders aren't allowed to touch the materials. Mira Chocolate A lustrous, brown substance is being thoroughly kneaded. It smells savory, like cacao. Dough balls are being sucked into the oven one by one, but you can't see a conveyor belt.

Would you like to ask her about something, ? The garden The blue stones and the red stones The scales The Mirage Weed The Golden Hero I don't want to ask her about anything. Please tell me about %s. I think I'm done for now. We're okay now. Thanks for the info. Sorry for bothering you. We're okay now. Thank you. There is a legend about this garden. It's from a very long time ago, even before it was a quarry.

There once was a Golden Hero who used a single Pick Axe to dig a hole and save his girlfriend.

Wedge into the golden wall, a Golden Pick Axe that suppresses all, and open the door with the bonded key. This is Detourne, the Mystical Garden. It's famous for its Mirage Weed now.

Hmm? You want to hear the legend again?

Wedge into the golden wall, a Golden Pick Axe that suppresses all, and open the door with the bonded key. The stones over there? When one side gets heavier, the other side gets lighter. See the blue stones floating above us? They do so because the red stones are heavier. See the red stones floating above us? They do so because the blue stones are heavier. Huh? You've seen them already? They're nothing more than regular scales, right?

There's nothing special about them to tell you.

If you make the red scale pan heavy, it sinks, and if you make the blue scale pan heavy, it sinks.

Isn't that just natural physics at work? It's an illusionary weed that only grows in the Mystical Garden. If you don't pick it, it looks quite normal.

But if you pull it out of the ground, it disappears in an instant. That's why it's called the Mirage Weed. A long time ago, there was a Golden Hero who used a single Pick Axe to dig a hole and save his girlfriend.

The door he opened at that time is closed now and that concerns him greatly.

I heard the door would appear again if we found a hero who would open it...but I've never seen one. I see. Well, if something else comes up, come and ask me, okay? Golden Hero That place is a little dangerous. The base of the chain is rusty. Probably because it's been submerged in water.

Maybe we can break the chain at its base. Should we try to break it, ? The base of the chain is rusty. Maybe because it's been submerged in water.

Maybe we can break the chain at its base. You want to try it, ? Let's break it. No, let's not. Key Hmm? What is it? As you can see, I'm quite busy picking Mirage Weed. You're in Detourne, the Mystical Garden. Back in the days when this was a famous quarry, the Pick Axe was a very valued tool.

The people of Mira don't see anything odd about this garden, but for foreigners, it's a strange and puzzling place.

If something about Detourne ever puzzles you, just ask me. I'll tell you whatever I can. Hmm? What is it? You have something to ask me? And what do you want to ask? If you want to know my age, you're out of luck! I've been waiting for a hero like you. Are you going to open the door of the quarry for me? Should we, ? Of course! I don't want to open it. O-of course! That's what I came here for. I knew it! I'm sure I opened that door before, but for some reason, it's been closed up again.

It's been bothering me for a long time. I can't do much, but I'll try to help you. Take these. Jet Boots I don't know what you're talking about. Why don't you ask someone else? Oh...I see...That's too bad. I thought you would open it for me, but... To get the quarry door open, you need the golden key that's tied to the chain in this room.

To break the bonded seal... I think...the Balance is important. Good luck. Oh yes!

I don't know if it will be of any use to you or not, but please take this. Doesn't holding it feel great? White Sword Oh, you! I just remembered! The fire element in the quarry, is that in your way? Is it, ? Yes, I don't know what to do about it! No, we're okay. Yeah, it's in the way. Can you do something about it? I thought so. I used to be troubled by that. Take this. Red Necklace Y-you're amazing! You got the Balance! Let me see it for a second. I changed the gravity of the red and the blue stones. It's only temporary though.

Let me know if you want me to change it again.

Getting the Balance is great, but will you be able to open the door of the quarry anytime soon? Oh no! I'd forgotten to give you this. That's why you weren't able to open the door!

I don't know if it will be of any use to you or not, but please take this. Doesn't holding it feel great? I'll temporarily change the gravity of the red and blue stones. Let me know if you want me to change it again. Thank you for opening the door of the quarry. That was my only concern. You might not need these anymore, but please take them as a symbol of my gratitude. I'm sure I'd opened the door of that quarry a long time ago. But, until now, it was closed up for some reason.

That was my only concern. Thanks to you, I can rest easy now. I changed the gravity of the red and blue stones. It's only temporary though.

Let me know if you want me to change it again. You're a Detourne Master. I'm fine. All I have to do is walk around the fire element. E0005387 Route 2:02 We don't have an empty Blank Magnus.

I can't get it open without a key. What's this?! A fire element? It's too hot to pass through. We can't go through because the fire element is in the way. It doesn't seem like we can put this out. You trap the Magna Essence of Weak Flame into a Blank Magnus! E000538E Route 3:03 That blue block... If we drop it and use it as a foothold, we should be able to cross. We can't cross because there's no foothold. That red block... If we drop it and use it as a foothold, we should be able to cross. What is this huge scale doing here? Maybe the red block sinking... has something to do with the red scale pan being heavy. Why don't we adjust it by pouring in some water? The red scale pan is already heavy. There's no point in making it heavier. The red scale pan is already heavy. I don't think there's any point in making it heavier. The scales are balanced. Now the red scale pan is heavier. If we make this side heavier, I think the scales will be balanced. Maybe the blue block floating... has something to do with the blue scale pan being light. Why don't we adjust it by pouring in some water? The blue scale pan is already heavy. There's no point in making it heavier. The blue scale pan is already heavy. I don't think there's any point in making it heavier. Now the blue scale pan is heavier. Looks like we can trap the Magna Essence of Pristine Water.

We can use it to make a scale pan heavier. Do you want it, ? Looks like we can trap the Magna Essence of Pristine Water.

An ancient relic, from the looks of it.

Maybe it used to be some sort of an altar... So where's the Magnus Trill was so worked up about? Could it really be here? The pendant doesn't seem to be responding to anything... Quiet!

Stay alert! There's something here. Hmm... Are you sure? Huh?! W...what's going on?! It's as if...the Magnus are responding to something! Yes, but to what? Here it comes! That sucker is huge! This isn't one of them...

Just an empty shell...a mere shadow of the real End Magnus. A shadow? Yes.

I'll bet the End Magnus was sealed away here at one time.

When it was moved, part of its great power was burned into this spot and remained as an imprint.

With the other End Magnus being unsealed, the shadow's power must have increased...

giving it a tangible form of its own. If that's true, then... ...Then the End Magnus that was sealed here, must have been unsealed ages ago! So where is it now? Why don't we go ask Duke Calbren?

He's the ruler of Mira, right? He might know something. We should also be wary of the Empire. Whoever came here on the Goldoba must be up to no good. I'm worried as to what fate they have in mind for Mira.

Fortunately, the Empire is on good terms with this country.

I think it unlikely that they would resort to open force, as they did back in Diadem... Giacomo must be on that battleship.

With a little luck, I'll get that weasel. Okay. Let's head back to the village. Shadow Magnus Water, air, wood...and now...stone. What are you mumbling, ? Let's go. ...Hmm?

But I should also tell ya, no matter how hard you pray, the chances of seeing a spirit are one in a thousand.

You might as well not even try. It's basically impossible to get a spirit to bond with you. I gave up trying to get a spirit to descend upon me. Then why am I still here?

I got used to this place. It's nice to live freely without others interfering in your life. Do you know about the Shrine of Spirits?

The shrine is revered and quite breath-taking, but it's also a bit spooky. I wouldn't recommend it to the casual tourist.

For those who visit it, a being from another world—a spirit—may come down.

Spirits live in another world, yet their voices and thoughts transcend dimensional barriers...

Some say these "spirits" may even be the voices of the dead.

Maybe they're ghosts who still don't know they're dead...

Ha ha, just kidding about the ghosts. Did I spook you out a little there? I heard something mysterious is happening in the City of Illusion.

Is it just me, or is everything in this nation a little on the kooky side? They say this place is strange, but don't you think that the candy village is even more bizarre?

You don't think they're both equally weird, do you?! Old Woman with a Bracelet Ohh! You brought me such a heartwarming painting, it's so nostalgic.

All right. I'll go to Quzman's house. I feel his sincerity. Do I know Quzman? I'm his ex-wife, Misjah. Of course I know him.

Well, I really don't want to go back just because he told me to. He has to show me some sincerity. You're so persistent. I'm telling you that I am not going back just because he asked me to. How to show sincerity? Tell him to figure it out himself.

Whoa young one, are you making fun of me? You'll get in trouble for making fun of old people. Painting takes skill. A gifted person studies hard, paints, and it becomes art.

Take me, for example. As a genius, what I paint is only appreciated by those who truly know art.

To understand and appreciate art also requires experience and talent. On rare occasion, people reject the work of this gifted abstract painter. But I'm not worried.

Art is something that foolish people don't understand. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who can't comprehend the work of a master. Quzman...He's nearing death, you say? All right, I guess I'll be present at his deathbed. I just need to sign that thing? I need to go to Quzman's house, right? Yeah, I know where that is. I used to live there.

I heard it's not a bad idea to hide your face and dance madly.

But I just don't feel like doing that right now... There's no point in talking to them.

They say things that no one understands, and when they start dancing, they never stop. I guess that's called "releasing stress." Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeak. Squeak squeak.

I don't know why, but this whole nation makes my stomach churn. That I agree with. Yet our orders are to avoid direct conflict.

The Lady is a friend of our Emperor, after all. Oh boy... So, dear Lady, is there anything you know that may be relevant?

If not a shining Magnus, maybe an old family treasure or two?

Anything may help. Melodia As I have told you countless times, I have no idea of what you're talking about.

Are you sure this mystical Magnus of yours is truly in our lands?

Even if it is, I know nothing of it.

If such a thing does exist, my grandfather, Duke Calbren, may know of it... Hmmm...

I had hoped to learn something from you beforehand...

But no matter. We'll talk with the Duke as planned, and guarantee your safety in exchange for his cooperation. Are you sure it's here? Even Corellia back in Anuenue hadn't heard of the End Magnus. What makes you think Calbren knows? Because he does. It is the Ducal family's duty to protect this island's End Magnus. Before you talk with the Duke... Why don't we have a little chat, Giacomo? ...?! Ah..., it's you again. Ha! You really know how to make an entrance. I'd just about had it with all this babysitting.

Time for some action. Yes, how very thoughtful of you all to show up.

And look! Today we have a surprise appearance by Sir —backstabber extraordinaire, down with the enemy after throwing away his own country! How dare you! Kalas, you little maggot. No fooling around today.

We're running out of time.

I won't kill you, though. There's a few things I need to ask you.

But believe me, this is going to hurt. Enough talk! It's payback time.

Prepare to die, Giacomo! No! You can't fight here! Shut up, missy! Go sit in the corner. Ow! What the?! You hear that? The Tree Spirits! Your hatred is stirring them up!

The boundary between dimensions is breaking apart! Phew...that was quite a spectacle... Duke Calbren's strong will definitely runs in the family... How did you do that? Guardsman Lady Melodia! Is Milady safe? Yes, I am fine. These travelers rescued me. Oh, thank God! It was a good thing you were here to protect the Lady. You have our heartfelt thanks. Lady Melodia. The Duke is terribly worried.

We should return immediately. No time for details. We can discuss this mess fully at the Manor. Let us go, then. Thank you very much, all of you.

Please come to my grandfather's Manor. You will be most welcome.

...I must be going. I guess Lady Melodia didn't know anything about the End Magnus. Looks like it.

But you heard what Giacomo said. The Duke himself might know a thing or two... Well, it's a good thing we have one of the End Magnus with us. We could simply show him, and see if he recognizes it. Right. That should convince him that something's about to happen. Hey, what's wrong, kid? What are you doing? ... It's gone... Is that all? For a second I thought... Wwwhat?! Gone? What's gone?!

Not our End Magnus! No way! ...Speak up! Yeah...it's gone all right. The End Magnus is missing. Don't give me that! A Magnus doesn't just get up and walk away, you know? Forgive me for asking, but did you run a thorough search? Are you sure it's missing? Yes. Inside and out. It's gone. Just...gone.

You don't believe me? Look for yourself! But it can't be! It was there when we set out for Mira. Could we have dropped it somewhere? Someone would have noticed with the shining and all that. Tell me, . Do you know where the End Magnus is? I know. I don't know. ...?! S..seriously?!

You really know where it is, ?! I don't really know. I won't tell you. Phew... For a second there I thought you really knew... Tsk! You don't really know, do you?

Don't mess with me like that, ... I see. Why should we expect you to know anyway... Sorry. doesn't know, either. All we can do is retrace our steps back to the ship, and look for it along the way... Yes, I agree. Fortunately Giacomo and his men need to keep a low profile...

That gives us some time to look for the Magnus. Well, that settles it. So let's get crackin'... The voices...the spirits are calling... Yeah...I hear them. You have heard about the Guardian Spirits, haven't you?

From a place and time you will never reach...

Silent words, unspoken feelings... You don't really need to summon the spirits to this world...

They call out to us, so playfully... Two souls in separate worlds, their neverending dreams, their painful longing...

Two souls that call out to each other. Two souls that seem alike. ... That Spirit seems to like you.

If you could bond with it, something wonderful may happen to you...Are you ready? Uh...Hello. Can I...May I ask your name? ? So, that's your name...

Not bad. My name is Kalas. We're a team now, you and I.

Well, hang in there for me, okay, ? ? So, that's your name...

Ummmm...Okay. It's a... It's your name, after all. My name is Kalas.

Nice to see you, ... E00053DB Mystical Forest:04 (Copy) Calbren Yes...let us begin. Great Kamroh This is the end of the road, it seems... E00053E2 Diadem Ship I wonder why they never came after us back in Anuenue.

You'd think they would be chomping at the bit to get the End Magnus.

They need all five for the Emperor's plans, don't they? Don't ask me! ...Maybe they don't need to worry about us anymore.

Or maybe one of us is an Imperial spy. ...This is no laughing matter.

I...can't help but wonder about . She just seems a little...something's not right. I know what you're getting at. She is a little on the shady side, I'll give you that.

But I'm not too sure about you either, . I don't blame you. Till recently, I was indeed an Imperial officer... , what do you think?

Do you trust me? Of course I trust you. I don't trust you. You really trust him, huh?

I'd say you need to be more discerning... Keep your eyes open for wolves... Really, ? Thank you. That's good to know. Ha. Thought so. I don't trust him either. Really? , , we've been through this already!

I, for one, believe in you, Lyude. They're just edgy. Never mind what they say. Thank you, . Sheesh. Did you hear that, ? She makes us sound like the bad guys. What's wrong, Kalas? You look a little down. I hate being cramped up in small rooms.

Not enough fresh air.

Besides, I always get a little clammy going through the Trail of Souls. I don't know why. Hang in there. It'll pass. We don't have much of a choice now, anyway. How are you doing, ? Not bad. Bad. Oh no...are you airsick? Make sure you get some rest, okay?

We don't know what trials await us in Mira. Hey, don't worry. We're ready for anything. Well, there isn't much we can do until we reach Mira. Might as well get some rest while we can. Yeah, I suppose you're right. What's up, ? No land in sight yet. ... I've been thinking about Savyna and Lyude... Huh? What about them?

Is it the trust issue? Once you doubt someone once, it grows and grows.

That's human nature, kid. One could have similar doubts about , or you, ya know.

It ain't like we really know who you are. ...!! You don't trust me?! Ha ha! Just making a point. Don't take it personally. If you ask me, I'd say trust them.

I'd rather give my trust and risk being deceived than live alone, trusting no one my whole life.

Wouldn't you agree? ... Of course, you gotta think twice if folks keep betraying you.

Guess it's up to you.

It's your life. Live it as you like. Yeah, I see what you're saying... Huh? ...what is that?! What do you see? A whale or something? Ha ha ha! Damn! Where are we anyway? They're probably way ahead of us by now! Easy, kid. It's no use to panic.

When you're in a jam like this, the best thing to do is sit back, relax, and wait.

Sooner or later, something will pop up. Looks like we've fallen into one of the otherworldly planes surrounding Mira. If so, getting back isn't going to be easy.

Then again, there must be a way out of here.

made a good point. We should calm down and consider our predicament carefully... I've never heard of anyone getting out of here alive. As I always say...Que sera sera. We should rest now when we have the chance.

There's not much else we can do while onboard this ship. , ! Are you all right?! Ummm. Mmmm... Ah, ... Are you all right? Yeah, barely. That's good...

I think I'm okay, too. I hurt my back though... I wonder if the others are okay. And where are we anyway? What should we do now?... Just as says, maybe there's nothing we can do but wait... It seems like the Mindeer should be able to move.

Okay, let's have the Great take us to Mira. ...Not much else we can do, I guess. Shall we go, ? Let's go. I need more time. Okay, let's have the Great take us to Mira. Yeah. Let's get goin'. Shall we go, ? What are we waiting for? We don't really have a choice. Hey, . You feelin' a little antsy?

If you're bored, why don't you chat with the others to get your mind off things.

Go on. What are you waiting for? , pull yourself together!

Wake up! !! Uuugh... Oh, , you okay, kid? Yeah, I'm fine. Where's the Goldoba? Is it gone?

Oh, I guess we'd be toast if it was still around.

Let's just stay calm, and go see what's goin' on. Let's just stay calm, and go see what's goin' on. Relax, . There's nothing we can do about it but wait. The Mindeer still has some spark in her. We may have to push hard, but I'm sure she'll hold together. Just like in Diadem.

We thought the Empire had left, but they were waiting for us in the Shrine of the Winds...

Don't you think they were doing the same thing in Anuenue?

It's very unlikely that the Empire would just give up searching for one of the End Magnus... Hey, , pull yourself together! Uughn... I'll be all right. But...where are we?... Where...are we now? People often told me about the Outer Dimension when I was a child.

"If you're a bad boy, you'll be dropped into the Outer Dimension."

I never expected to actually end up here! Traveling through this bizarre place...

Who—or what—was that Great Mizuti character anyway? ! Hey, !! ... We let our guard down...

How are the others? How are the others? The Outer Dimension... At least I can never say I'm bored with you people. Finally, a glimpse of hope. But, c'mon, can we trust that...person? This is no laughing matter. Meemai Squeak... It seems Meemai is getting a little airsick...

Sorry little one. We're almost there. Squeak squeak squeak! Squ squ squeak! Are you worried about me?

I'm all right. Thank you, Meemai. Squ-squ! Squ-squ! Squ...Squ-squ... Mira...

It's been a while since I left... Say, , why don't we take a stroll around the ship?

It's getting pretty stuffy in here...

Let's go. Damn. It's the Goldoba! What's going on?! Whoa! Dive!! Take her under the battleship, lose them in the clouds!! All right, let's see what this baby's got! Oh... The wind is so peculiar here. Phew. That was a long ride. We certainly have had our share of close calls! We're indebted to the Great . Thank you very much. So, where's Great off to?

Wherever it is, we'd like to take you, but we don't have much time. Great Mizuti The Great has a very important mission! A secret and elaborate mission. Figures. Sounds like a tough one. Well, good luck with this "secret and elaborate" mission of yours. Ah. No worry.

The Great be invincible. The Empire must already be here. Let's pick up the pace. Right. Let's move. Who knows what they could be up to here? Let's keep our eyes open. We must bid the Great farewell! I hope we meet again. Uh huh. Time to say goodbye! Us heroes, we have so much to do! Heh, weird little guy, huh? Let's get going. Hmmm...No sign of it.

Where could it be? Someone might have already picked it up... Very unlikely.

If someone found it, I'm pretty sure the ensuing fuss would have reached us by now. You have a point. The village was just as quiet as always... I still don't get it. How could you drop something like that without noticing, ? Hey, wait a minute. You're not blaming me for this, are you?

Give me a break, already! Since when was I in charge of all our stuff? You're right, this is everyone's fault.

We shouldn't put all the blame on . Hmmm...It still doesn't add up... ...Are you sure you dropped it? What?! What do you mean, ? You mean... You're saying someone stole it? It's unlikely we would drop something like that without noticing.

This naturally brings up the possibility of theft. But how? Who'd be able to grab it without us noticing? Someone among us. It's unlikely that anyone else could have. ...?! You think one of us stole it?! I don't believe this! Since we don't know when exactly it was stolen,

it's possible that any of us could have taken it. Wait a minute, what about that masked traveler, the one who helped us reach Mira? The Great ? ...I'd say no, never came anywhere near our stuff.

Besides, I doubt that little creature could lift anything from us without standing out. So...it was one of us, then? It most certainly wasn't me! Hey , relax. No one's accusing you. Don't worry, . We know you're not under the Empire's mind spell anymore.

The doctor in Diadem said you're clean.

We're not doubting you... I know I didn't...but am I really... I couldn't have taken it...right? Supposing one of us did steal the Magnus, where is it now?

None of us is carrying it.

And there weren't any chances to pass it on to the Empire. We did encounter Giacomo and his goons in the Shrine of Spirits... But none of us would have had enough time during that battle to hand it to them.

So where is it? How did the thief hide it without us noticing? Hm, let's just stop talking about this... We're not getting anywhere. Let's just trust each other and move on.

Now that we've literally lost our entire hand,

we can't allow the Empire to get this island's End Magnus. But...can we really trust each other?

There may be a traitor among us... Then again...this loss of trust could be precisely what they intended.

Giacomo and the others could have stolen our End Magnus, somehow, as part of a ruse to turn us against each other.

If so, it's working well so far... Now that you mention it, that is a possibility. Anyway, we should head for Duke Calbren's Manor.

Giacomo may be up to something while we're sitting here...

We have no time to waste. We'll be all right if we trust each other. We have to. I agree. Things will only get worse if we wait. All right! We'll have time to worry about this later.

Sooner or later we'll find out what happened to our End Magnus.

Let's take care of the more crucial problems first. Okay. Let's go pay a visit to Duke Calbren.

We must prevent Geldoblame from obtaining this island's End Magnus. -- Balancoire, Borough of Illusion -- E00053E9 Shop:00 Conversation with Balancoire shopkeeper. E00053F0 Outside 1:01 Hey! Get back in there! You're gonna dirty up our town with all that filth on your clothes. Why did that one-winged freak come back anyway? Malformed wings are the direct result of a malformed heart.

His soul must have been tainted at birth. Yeah, what a miserable cursed life. That fire two years ago, he must have caused that, too.

Poor old Georg, he never should have adopted that kid. ... Kalas? Huh? Nah, it's nothing...

I'm used to it. People say those things all the time... Lady Melodia always looks full of life. Not to mention, she's so very young and cheerful.

Oh, that's right, you don't know. You weren't living in Mira back then...

In earlier days, she wasn't as bubbly as she is now...

It was back when my son was born, so this was nine years ago. Her entire family was stricken with a deadly illness. Her parents passed away and her Ladyship barely recovered.

Lady Melodia has become such a healthy young girl, that it's hard to believe she had a near-fatal illness. I can't believe she almost died...

I'm sorry to hear of her parent's passing, but we're all fortunate that at least she was able to recover. Yes, you're right. If Lady Melodia had died, Duke Calbren would have been left all by himself... In earlier days, she wasn't as bubbly as today...

It was back when my son was born, so this was nine years ago. Her entire family was stricken with a deadly illness. Her parents passed away and her Ladyship barely recovered.

It's hard to believe she had such an illness, looking at how healthy she is today. You know there's a museum in the Duke's Manor, right? They say "things" live there... Things? What do you mean, things? What do you think I mean. Ghosts, of course!

My son said he's seen people enter the museum and just disappear, never to be seen again. But your son's still a child, right? He may have been imagining things. But it's not just my son. Servants in the Manor have also had similar experiences.

Maybe the ghosts are the worried parents of Melodia checking up on their surviving daughter. The way you tell the story... I'm starting to believe in ghosts myself. They say the Duke's Manor is in a state of upheaval.

The neighborhood kids are running around wildly in there. Really? But my son should be on duty today. I'm sure he'll calm those rascals down. Do you know why Balancoire is called the Borough of Illusion?

Just take a look around you. The mist in this town is constantly thickening and thinning. It has an almost organic quality to it.

Sometimes, the mist here becomes so dense that the entire city is just an enshrouded haze.

With this living, breathing mist all around you, it's easy to see why Balancoire is called the Borough of Illusion, isn't it?

By the way, I hear Diadem is called the Land of the Clouds.

I can just picture beautiful clouds floating gracefully along those cobbled paths...

It must be so much more beautiful than our slithering mist.

Ohh...Just once, I'd like to see the beautiful clouds of Diadem. By the way, I hear Diadem is called the Land of the Clouds.

I can just picture beautiful clouds floating gracefully along those cobbled paths...

It must be so much more beautiful than our slithering mist.

Ohh...Just once, I'd like to see the beautiful clouds of Diadem. So, this fluffy, cottony thing is a Cloud...It feels so soft and comfortable. Thanks a lot. You've made me feel so happy. I want to give you something in return. Arm Bomber You?!

...

Umm...who are you again?

...

...

Yes! I remember now. You're that unruly whippersnapper, Kalas! I haven't seen you around lately.

So what have you been up to? What are you doing back in Balancoire? Did you come back to live here?

The city certainly would liven up with you running around here again.

Say, why don't you marry that girl from the diner? What was her name? Trill, was it now? Get married, huh? I tell ya, Kalas! You're quite the ladies man!! Trill...That's the hyperactive, err, well, I mean, the spirited girl we met in the Confectionary Village.

She was VERY friendly to Kalas. I see...You'll marry her... K-Kalas! Is that true?! No way! She was only a childhood friend. Don't go spreading rumors, old man. Ha ha ha. Sorry. I just remembered some of your old pranks and wanted to pay you back for your mischief.

Well, you were good friends. There's not much difference. Sheesh! Whatever! Why are you mad? Did I pin the tail on the donkey? Humph! Sure, whatever you say! I heard there's been some trouble at the Duke's Manor...

...Kalas? What did you do this time? I-I didn't do anything! Ha ha ha. Sorry. I just remembered some of your old pranks and wanted to pay you back for your mischief. It's just an old man's joke. There's no need to glare at me like that. I heard there's been some trouble down at the Duke's Manor. You?! ... Umm...who are you again?

Yes. I know. Kalas! What? Who's Pauly? Oh. That Pollywhale...

I guess you can still find him in the watercourse running through town. This might surprise you, but I'm working now.

Just a job at the local Magnus shop—nothing fancy. But a job's a job, right?

Remember our childhood expeditions foraging for Magnus? I guess it's helping me out now.

Come to the shop if you have time. We've got quite a nice selection. Thanks to Pauly, the shop is always full of customers. Profits are going through the roof!

Come to the shop if you have time. Hey Kalas. How've you been, buddy? Would you look at this? Pauly's novel effects seem to have worn off.

We don't get many customers anymore. Now I have to stand out in the street and try to persuade people to come in. Drop by if you have time. I could really use the business. Hey miss. How have you been doing? Would you look at this? Pauly's novel effects seem to have worn off.

We don't get many customers anymore. Now I have to stand out in the street and try to persuade people to come in. Drop by if you have time. I could really use the business. Kalas! Is that you?! When did you get back?

You just vanished without even saying good-bye.

Where have you been, anyway? We've missed you.

Next time you leave town, promise to take me with you!

Come on, please, you gotta! Next time you leave town, you gotta take me with you, okay?!

Where have you been, anyway? Tell me more about it when you've got time. Did you hear the news? Lady Melodia is gone.

How come no one takes me anywhere? You're leaving again to fight the ancient god...Don't worry. I won't ask you to take me.

I know this is serious. Be careful, Kalas. Please don't get hurt. Kalas, I'm very proud that you're fighting to save the world. I really am. Hey, you. You're from the Empire, aren't you. Well, yes, but... I'm not one of them anymore... It's a long story. What's a long story?! You're wearing an Imperial uniform.

That Emperor of yours...what's the name...Geldoblame, was it? Is he some kind of pervert?

He seems to display an unhealthy amount of interest in our Lady Melodia.

I'm warning you, if he tries anything funny with our beloved Melodia, he'll be sorry! Hmph! Sounds like a real low-life...tryin' to rob the cradle. Shush, Gibari. Don't say things like that. You got that? Tell your Emperor to stay away from Lady Melodia! Ha! Those Imperial soldiers aren't all that tough. I heard some young girl took over their army!

What? You're saying the young girl is Lady Melodia?!

Do you realize where you are? How dare you insult the Lady! Get lost before I clock you one! Why are you still here?

Those who insult Lady Melodia are not welcome in Mira. Get out of our country now! Umm...Welcome to... Trill's Diner...

Um...Today's special is... very reasonably priced... Umm...I think.

If you don't mind... Please come in and try our... Ohh...Never mind. Hey! What are you doing?! Are you trying to attract customers or drive them away? Huh...Yes... Ahh...umm...I'm sorry... Pitiful. Trill's father asked me to show you how to attract customers.

Listen up, cause I'm gonna give you some tips, okay? What? Thank you... I'm sorry about the trouble... No problem. Just do as I say, all right?

Let's begin the lesson. First of all, your voice should be... A shout. Not too loud. Like a whisper. Got it? Secondly...

It's very important to focus on your sales pitch. For example... Great tasting food. Reasonable prices. Great atmosphere. Keep these two rules in mind. Then you'll have customers coming in droves. I-I understand... I'll give it a try. Ahem... three, two, one... Welcome! Welcome! Great-tasting food! Right here! Come and get it at Trill's Diner! Welcome! Welcome! Great food! Great prices! Right here! Come and get it at Trill's Diner! Welcome! Welcome! Great food! Great atmosphere! Right here! Come and get it at Trill's Diner! If you're looking for a great meal, come try Trill's Diner! If you're looking for a good meal at a great price, come try Trill's Diner! If you're looking for a good meal and a great atmosphere, come try Trill's Diner! An elegant taste with an exquisite flavor. Come dine at Trill's Diner and experience a true culinary delight. Enjoy a good meal at a great price. Come dine at Trill's Diner and make your stomach and your wallet happy. Enjoy a good meal in a great atmosphere. Come dine at Trill's Diner and enjoy your meal at a quiet relaxing pace. Hmm, is he doing something wrong? He needs more energy. He needs more charm. Totally wrong. That was perfect! He needs more energy. He needs more charm. That was awful. That was perfect! You need to be more energetic to get customers. You need more charm. Okay. I'll explain one more time. And that's all. Keep that in mind. I hope you got it. I did. Thank you for your help. I'll use what you taught me and do my best. I feel...I feel like a new person now. Thank you so much for helping me. I'm actually starting to enjoy this job. Heh heh. Thank you so much for helping me. You should go see the restaurant's owner. I'm sure he'll be glad to see you. So, this fluffy, cottony thing is a cloud... It feels so soft and comfortable.

It's so different from the mist in this town, but it's pleasant in its own way. There's been some commotion down at the Manor. From what they say, ghosts and the dead are wandering its corridors.

In this day and age, even a child won't believe such far-fetched stories. Everyone was making such a fuss over Pauly the Pollywhale.

Now that we've gotten used to him, people just don't seem interested anymore. Poor creature... Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak. Squ-squeak. It's Pauly the Pollywhale! Pauly! Pauly! Hey! What's your problem? Can't you see we're enjoying ourselves?

Huh? Pauly? Oh yeah, that name sounds familiar.

Hey look, isn't that him in the watercourse? Oh, look look! It's a Pollywhale. It's so cute!! I wish I could keep one as a pet.

We call him Pauly, because it has a nice ring when said with "Pollywhale." What? Pauly? Isn't he in the watercourse? I don't really know where he is. I was sent to keep watch over the watercourse since it's been known to flood over during severe rain.

Recently, a Pollywhale wandered into it from who knows where and became a big hit with the townspeople.

We need to take it into captivity, but the townspeople would shout "cruelty" if we did...

To be honest with you, I'm at a loss as to what to do. People's interests are so short-lived...What ever happened to "Pauly Fever"?

We seem to have missed our chance to take him into captivity. I don't know what to do now.

Frankly speaking, it would solve the problem if a kind and responsible individual took custody of him... Thank you for taking custody of the Pollywhale.

You've certainly lifted a heavy weight off my shoulders. I heard that creature's called a Pollywhale. It has such cute eyes.

He's very popular in this town. Everyone calls him Pauly the Pollywhale.

I wonder if we'll keep him as a collective effort. You know, as citizens of Balancoire. Yes, that's right. My son never listens to me.

Huh? What is it? Pauly??? That name...what is Pauly? What on earth is that creature?! I woke up this morning and everyone is talking about this Pauly.

In all my life, I've never seen such a strange creature. I think it's better for boys to be unruly rather than withdrawn. They are boys, after all...

Huh? What? A Pollywhale? What is that? Pollywhale Ar! Ar! Aroo! Ar! Ar! Aroo! Ar! Ar! Aroo! Still the same old strange cry.

I guess no one would complain now if we take it to Kaffaljidhma.

Should we take the Pollywhale, ? It has such a peculiar cry.

I guess no one would complain now if we take it to Kaffaljidhma.

Should we take the Pollywhale, ? Yes, let's take him. Ah, it's too much trouble. Yes, let's take him. No, let's not. Okay. Let's take it! ...What a strange sound it makes. Hey, is that you, Kalas? Where have you been all this time? What are you up to these days? Hey...Long time no see. It's so good to see you. Remember when we used to hang out? You, me and Trill?

Let's get together sometime and chat about the good old days, okay? It's Lady Melodia! She's back! The Lady is safe! I hope they didn't harm you, Milady! Melodia I'm fine. Thank you for your concern. Lady Melodia. We're so relieved to know you're safe and sound. Guardsman Milady, Lord Calbren is expecting you. We should head for the Manor. Very well. Let us go then.

Kid Hey, one-wing! You born failure! Good-for-nothing freak! Why don't you go join the other freaks in Cor Hydrae?! Nyah! Gramps! Everyone keeps calling me "one-wing"! E00053F7 Outside 1 Nighttime:01A , you're still awake. Could we talk for a minute? Sure. Something wrong, Xelha? Can't you sleep? I've been thinking about the prophecy that the old lady told us the other day... Should they be unsealed, all five evils unleashed,

our world would succumb to the everlasting curse of the evil god Malpercio.

Malpercio will never be restored to his full might,

for the Guardians destroyed his evil in its entirety,

However, should the white-winged darkness alight upon this land,

the world will disappear without a sound, swallowed by a maelstrom of chaos.

Our only hope is the Ocean, long lost...

Find us, O Mighty Ocean, and forgive us... Old Fortune Teller Should they be unsealed, all five evils unleashed,

our world would succumb to the everlasting curse of the evil god Malpercio.

Malpercio will never be restored to his full might,

for the Guardians destroyed his evil in its entirety,

However, should the white-winged darkness alight upon this land,

the world will disappear without a sound, swallowed by a maelstrom of chaos.

Our only hope is the Ocean, long lost...Find us, O Mighty Ocean, and forgive us... The white-winged darkness... The long-lost ocean...

Kalas...I... Yeah? What's wrong? Never mind. It's not important...

Tomorrow, we set off for Alfard, heart of Imperial might... Yeah. What will become of us? I...I mean us all, the entire world, of course... Huh? Yeah...Well...

To tell you the truth, I just don't know, Xelha...

What may happen, what future awaits us...

I don't even know what'll happen to me... ... Kalas, let's do our best...for everyone's sake...Okay?

I believe in you...

Good night... Hmm? Xelha? What do you think, ?

You think someone stole our End Magnus?

Is there really a traitor among us? Is someone lying? I don't want to believe it, but... No, of course not. You think so? Kind of sad, isn't it. You're right. Must've been a magic trick by Giacomo and company. Find us, O Mighty Ocean, and forgive us... Kalas, let's do our best...for everyone's sake...Okay?

I believe in you... Neither of them will last long... Not with those injuries... E00053FE Outside 2:02 Mira Guardsman Please accept my apologies for my earlier insolence.

If I had known you were the ones who had saved Lady Melodia, I would have let you pass immediately.

I was just so worked up about that vile abduction incident at the time... Please forgive me. You must be the travelers who saved Lady Melodia. Please come in. Welcome, travelers. These gates will always remain open to brave souls like yourselves. Students from the nearby school are visiting the Manor on a field trip. Please excuse the noise level. I am truly glad that Lady Melodia has returned to us unharmed.

Travelers, you have my sincerest thanks. It's the talk of the town, but have you heard the Manor ghost stories?

There's a story going around about ghostly figures disappearing into the museum.

Another story is about the ghostly hands that grab and pull you down into the underground passage...

I know they're just fantasies meant to scare little kids, but they're unpleasant all the same. The passage that never closes... The museum display that exhibits a new gruesome item everyday...

There are other ghost stories as well. The Grand Duke is currently away visiting Anuenue. Only the servants are in the Manor at this time. Do not come any closer.

This is the Manor of Duke Calbren, the Grand Duke of Mira.

We cannot allow strangers to enter.

I must ask you to leave immediately. Following the recent abduction of Lady Melodia, we have tightened security around the Manor.

Unless you have acquaintances living in the Manor, I must ask that you leave the premises immediately. I don't believe this. We're the ones that saved her! It seems Melodia hasn't returned yet. All we can do is wait for her to get back. Let's go look around the town until then. I cannot allow strangers to pass through these gates.

Leave immediately. E0005405 House 1(Trill's Parents' House Restaurant):03 Trill's Father Oh, you're Kalas' friend, right? Hmm, I don't see Kalas with you... What's happened? Is he all right? Oh Kalas, what a surprise. It's been a long time. How have you been? I'm afraid Trill isn't here right now.

She left home for the Confectionary Village to study to become a pastry cook. Yeah. I know. I saw her in Parnasse. Hmm...you already met her? I'm glad to hear that.

She's really been worried about you. Will you try her cooking when she gets back?

She's still not a good cook, but I'm sure she'll enjoy cooking for you. Hey, Kalas. I want to ask you a favor. How about it? Sure. Maybe some other time. Of course. Maybe some other time. Sure. No problem. What can I do for you? It's about our new employee. We hired him to attract customers, but he's just too timid.

He whispers "welcome" in a tiny voice barely more audible than a Parnassian mosquito's flapping wings.

I want you to show him how to do his job. He's standing right outside the shop.

Can you go give him a pep talk and maybe a few pointers?

Come back in here when you're done. I'll have a little something waiting for you. I'm counting on you! Sorry, but we're in a rush. Maybe some other time. Okay, that's too bad. Come back and help us out when you've got time. Hey, great effort. I heard you from inside. You did a great job.

Now that you've talked to him, I think he'll do a much better job.

Here's that little something I promised earlier. C'mon now. You did a good job. I want you to have it. Scorpion Barrette Thanks a lot, Kalas. Thanks to you, my restaurant will flourish. Ha ha ha! What's the matter? Our new employee is right outside the shop. Please go talk to him. Trill's Mother My oh my...Kalas, is that you? How have you been? Have you been eating well?

If you ever get hungry, don't be shy. We've got a restaurant, after all! I'm always so worried about you. Oh, hi there. You're Kalas' friend, aren't you? Have you been eating well?

Please have a chat with my daughter sometime. She's in a town all by herself. Oh...Sure, of course...

Umm...Can I ask you something? Hmm? Something bothering you? Well...umm... What exactly is the relationship between Miss Trill and umm...Kalas? What's their relationship? They're just childhood friends. Of course, nothing would make me happier than if Kalas became my son-in-law.

But they're still too young. It's too early to consider such things. Oh no. I don't believe this! Darling, what should we do?! What's the matter? What are you shouting about? Did you cut off your finger or something? I'm not joking around! I've been looking all over the place for a sea bream fillet, but I think we've run out.

What should we do? Kalas, I think you're just the right man for the job. Get us a sea bream fillet, okay?! Absolutely. Leave it to me! I'll get you one in no time! Great! That's my boy. I would have expected nothing less from my son-in-law. Oh, darling. You know it's too early for that.

You're embarrassing poor Kalas. I'm really sorry, Kalas. Remember, we need sea bream fillet. The fish spoils easily, so hurry back if you find one. Kalas. We're counting on you. Remember, we need sea bream fillet. The fish spoils easily, so be careful. The fresher the better. Oh my, that was very quick. Thank you, Kalas.

I've got an extra special gift for you. Wizard Robe Looks like you've done well. This one is very fresh. That's my son-in-law! Oh my, that was very quick. Thank you, Kalas. Did you bring back a fresh one? Let me see.

...

Kalas! This fillet is completely rotten!!

We can't serve this to our customers?! Are you trying to drive away my customers!!

Go back and get us a fresh fillet! Darling. You don't have to raise your voice like that.

You know it's difficult to tell the good fillet apart from the bad ones...

I'm sorry, Kalas. But can you try again? Thank you, Kalas. Next time you visit, I hope you can stay a bit longer. All you ever talk about is money, money, money...Can't we talk about something else?

I'm aware my income doesn't allow me to buy you nice things, but...don't rub it in so much.

I've always worked hard so that, someday, I'll be able buy you that Gold Nugget. What?! You want to give me this Gold Nugget?

No, no... I can't give my wife a gift I received from someone else...

Okay, I know what. I'll give this to you in return. Then it'll be an even trade.

Now I'll be able to accept your Gold Nugget guilt-free. Deluxe Pastry Thank you. Thanks to you, I think I can give my wife a decent present. Wha wha wha what?!!! You already gave my wife a Gold Nugget?!

Wh-what do you think you're doing?! Think of how I'll look... Dear, have you heard this rumor?

They say the entire city of Mintaka glows with an extravagant golden hue. I wonder how rich the Empire is...

I'm not really interested in the outside world, but this is one thing I'd like to know more about. Excuse me? You want to give that to me?

Oh, I can't believe this! I've always wanted a present just like this!

Here, let me give you something in return.

I bought this with a little stash I've been keeping from my hubby. I want you to have it. Deluxe Cream Puff Thank you so much. I've always wanted something like this.

I wish my husband's gifts were as nice as this. This diner's old man sure is a great cook!

How can I put it...The taste is persistent yet not obstinate, bold yet not obnoxious...

Nah, it's just impossible to describe. Once you taste it, you'll know what I mean. I can hardly wait for my meal! This diner's meals are simply delicious! The atmosphere's good, too.

I wonder why it's not more popular...

Hmm...I guess one problem is that the owner gets too involved with the preparation, so the wait is...

Hey, when is my order going to come? How can I explain...The taste is persistent yet not obstinate, bold yet not obnoxious...

Ah, I can't describe it with words. Once you taste it, you'll know what I mean.

Ahh. Just talking about it makes me hungry! Remember the fire two years ago? I heard it wasn't an accident, but rather the Empire's doing. No way. I heard the gadget shop's old man neglected his experiment. But my sweetcakes told me about it, and he works in Mintaka. Don't tell anyone, okay? Oh, that's why you wanted to talk about this. You just wanna talk about your "sweetcakes," don't you? Did you hear about the ghost in the Duke's Manor?

I heard the story's true and that Lady Melodia is involved in some way. No way. I heard the "ghost" turned out to be just a clumsy butler who fell into a hole in the museum. But my darling told me about this and he works in the Manor. What? What happened to your old boyfriend? You just want to talk about your new boyfriend, don't you? Greythorne Squeak squeak.

I remember that day twelve years ago when you first arrived in this town.

You all arrived together. You, your grandfather, and your brother. What was his name...Was it Fee?

Your grandfather had taken you homeless boys in and provided for everyone by fixing gadgets.

I'm almost the age he was then, and I really admire him. Not everyone can do what he did.

...

If only that accident hadn't happened...

Those awful flames consumed everything. Yes, you were the only one who survived.

Hmm, there was also a doctor who arrived with you.

The doctor stayed for a while and then was gone. I wonder what became of him...

...

Oh, I'm sorry. Now that I'm old, it seems all I can do is talk about the past.

I'm glad to see you again, Kalas. Enjoy your stay here. This is your hometown, after all. If only that accident hadn't happened...

I'm glad to see you again, Kalas. Enjoy your stay here. This is your hometown, after all. This town has changed so much since the old days. I miss the simpler times. I'm glad to see you again. Relax and make yourself at home. People are saying you're on a quest to save the world...

You used to be just an unruly, mischievous boy, but you've grown up into quite a man.

I'm sure your grandfather is looking down from heaven and is very proud. Well, it's not just your grandfather who's proud of you.

You're the town's hero. We're all proud of you, Kalas. Oh hi, Kalas. I haven't seen you in a while. I hope you've been doing well for yourself.

I gotta tell ya, life in this town sure changed for the worst once your family was gone.

Your grandfather had such a knack for repairing things.

The tools and gadgets that were repaired by him sprang back to life.

It was as if those inanimate machines had been infused with life by your grandfather.

...

These days, broken things are just thrown away.

The repair shops around here just mishandle your broken items and give them back to you even more busted up.

I wish you would open a shop like your grandfather and settle down in Balancoire. I gotta tell ya, life in this town sure changed for the worst once your family was gone.

People are sucked into this hole—never to be seen again.

We don't have an active commerce with other nations, so tonight's dinner is a real treat for us.

...Oh, I don't believe this... We're out of salt!

This is terrible. Baked fish tastes much too bland without salt. Old Gramps was looking forward to eating fish. I hate to disappoint him, but there's not much I can do without salt...

E0005413 House 3:05 Old Lady A long, long time ago, Mira was just another island floating in the Sky.

But one day, a swirling whirlpool engulfed the land, and Mira fell into a dimensional rift.

Mira was about to sink into an abyss so deep there was no hope of it ever emerging again.

It was then that a group of mysterious wizards appeared from the depths of the Earth. The wizards, calling themselves the Guardians, saved Mira somehow.

The Guardians spoke these words to my ancestors: Five great evils lie buried in this world.

None should ever attempt to unearth them...

Should they be unsealed, all five evils unleashed,

our world would succumb to the everlasting curse of the evil god Malpercio.

Malpercio will never be restored to his full might,

for the Guardians destroyed his evil in its entirety,

However, should the white-winged darkness alight upon this land,

the world will disappear without a sound, swallowed by a maelstrom of chaos.

This story is from the dream of a great whale, wise and old... It goes back for ages, before the continents rose into the Sky,

when Earth, Ocean and Man still lived as one...

What happens after that, is no longer known...

Our only hope is the Ocean, long lost...

Find us, O Mighty Ocean, and forgive us... Our only hope is the Ocean, long lost... I'd never heard that story before. Most people these days don't know of it.

The young seldom listen to the musings of us elderly. Wouldn't you say? I figure the "five great evils" must be referring to the End Magnus? The five End Magnus, holding the power of Malpercio, wicked god of death and destruction...

It sounds a lot like the King's story in Diadem.

But, what was that part about Malpercio never being restored fully, and the white-winged darkness? Since the Guardians completely destroyed Malpercio, he can never be resurrected.

But, what about the five great evils, or End Magnus rather, being unleashed, and the awakening of Malpercio's curse?

What could that possibly be? And when the five End Magnus are unleashed, releasing the white-winged darkness, a maelstrom of chaos will envelop the world?

I know this is a prophecy...or should I say warning...

But I still don't understand what it all means. That's the nature of prophecy. We will know when the time comes. Yet wouldn't it be too late by then? Well, it's an old legend. We no longer know how much of it is actually true.

Don't worry yourselves too much. Why, you came just in time! Care to hear an old woman's tale? I'm sure you'll like it. Oh, you want me to tell the story again? Yes, please. No thanks. Okay. Listen carefully. Well, if you want to hear it again, come back any time. Hmm? Have you come to listen to an old woman's tale? Okay, I'll tell you this story.

...A long time ago, like all the other islands, Mira was a nation still afloat in the Sky.

One day, however, as if trapped inside a terrible maelstrom, the island began to sink into a dimensional chasm.

As the land was about to be swallowed completely,

mysterious sorcerers and guardians emerged from deep beneath the earth and tethered the land still.

To this day the tether still holds, but only tenuously, and the island sways along a dimensional border. This is an old story, told from a time long before even my grandfather was a child. Hmm? Have you come to listen to an old woman's tale? Okay, I'll tell you this story.

...It is said that there are five evils sealed somewhere in this world.

Humans are forbidden to touch these dark evils.

For should this rule be broken, a wicked god will awaken and bring about the destruction of the world.

A long, long time ago... A whale of great wisdom saw this story in a dream...

Before people began to dwell in the sky. When the land, the ocean, and man were still together.

This is an old legend told long before my birth. It was told to me when I was still a child. This is an old old legend, told long before my birth. Hey, Sis. Do you know much about the Empire? When its people are young, they have to study day and night.

When its people grow old, they have to toil for the Emperor day and night.

You'll have to do my dishes and laundry to avoid being sold... Next week, we're going to visit the Grand Duke's Manor on a school trip. Wow! That sounds exciting! Please, can I go with you?! Please!

The shrewdness of your discerning hand has touched my heart. The museum has shaped up nicely! This isn't much, but please accept it as a token of my gratitude. Broken Birdie ...%s? That is indeed the best choice...

But since it is already on display, a second one would look rather odd. I'd rather you not exhibit it. Hmmm. Not bad, but it's a little boring. I can't say exactly what, but something is missing from it. Man Why don't we go to the seashore and watch the sunset together?

The setting sun will be almost as beautiful as you are. Woman Oh my... ...

You don't mean to exhibit that, do you? Hey there, babe. How about me and you go to the beach and munch on some low-fat popcorn?

Together. That's a silly thing to say. Girl Why do nations fight? Why is peace such an elusive dream for man? Very true words...

But you don't mean to exhibit that, do you? Woman on the Right Do you know the woman living in that house? Her husband was fired from his job last month. Woman on the Left Oh really? I saw him leaving the house this morning. If not work, I wonder where he was going. Boy on the Left Bet you don't know this. Palolo III's treasure is hidden in that secret place.

Cool! I wanna become super rich and have to hide my treasure somewhere secret. Mysterious Man Keep this quiet. It's strictly confidential. That place, well we've... Nondescript Woman Don't tell anyone.

That's what she said to me. But everyone already knew by then. Secrets never remain secret. Yes, what she says is true.

But you don't mean to exhibit that, do you? Please don't spill it. I don't think water is a suitable exhibit item. What are you doing?! Don't set it on fire! Hmm. The barrel is filled with Pow milk? Wow...

But...I don't find it suitable to exhibit. It's gone... Huh??? What's that? A Celestial Flower Seed?

But...I don't think it's suitable to exhibit. Hmm. The entire barrel is filled with Pow milk cheese? Wow...

But...I don't think it's suitable to exhibit. Rubber Mud... You don't mean to exhibit this, do you? I see... Isn't it only a Chunk of Rubber? Is it really worth exhibiting? Hmm...How rare. This is a Gold Beetle Carapace... Now this is something.

But I don't think it's suitable to exhibit in the museum. Wow! A Gold Nugget! That's quite a pricy item.

But I think rare items are more suitable to exhibit in a museum. Oh, you've scattered some salt. Some say that brings good luck. I hope they're right... This is one hot rock. Please be careful that the exhibit stand doesn't catch on fire. What's this barrel for? It's filled with Oil? No one can tell though, I think. A Pressed Flower...is it? You don't mean to exhibit this, do you? I see... A Mountain Apple...is it? Grown fresh in Cebalrai, I assume? Why don't we eat it? Apple Vinegar...is it? I don't think it's suitable to exhibit... Oh, are those memories of someone? Yes. They're the memories of two guards who sacrificed their lives to save me. And the guards, did they have families?

Items like those do not belong here. Those memories belong with the deceased guards' families.

You should hold onto those. Mementos should not be exhibited in a museum, but cherished in the remembering arms of their owner's loved ones. Could it be?! This is the legendary Golden Pick Axe! This is just the kind of item I've been waiting for.

This item is most truly suitable to exhibit. Thank you for bringing it here. I'm afraid we cannot display the Royal Crest of Diadem here. This is the Kingdom of Mira, after all. A Picture Book...is it? It would be worth exhibiting if it's written by a famous artist... This Adventure Novel was written by the founding director of the Library of Magic!

I've been waiting for an item like this. Please let us exhibit it right away. A Dead Bluebird? When I was little, my mother told me I'd find happiness if I ever caught one. That's...I'm afraid we can't exhibit that...I will...dispose...of it. Please hand it over. Huh? I thought I saw something... but now I see nothing. Could that be a Thunderfish Bone?! The remains of one of the earliest species of fish.

I've been longing for this sort of item. Please let us exhibit it here. The barrel is filled with Cebalrai Mountain Apple Wine?

Cebalrai wine is famous for its fine, rich taste. May I suggest we drink it rather than exhibit it? I believe that's a common weed. No, it's a Nameless Flower? I see... No! Stop. What are you thinking! Don't bring that into the museum! Ugh...What a terrible painting. Do you really want to exhibit it? Please don't. Could that be the legendary Delinquency Stone only found in Zosma Tower?

Its enchanting, rebellious glitter will be an irresistible draw for female visitors! Please let us exhibit it. That Roasted Bird certainly looks quite plump and juicy. But I don't think it's suitable to exhibit... Urgh. The horrible stench!! You want to exhibit that?! I don't understand your sensibilities. Whose Family Tree is it? People may misjudge this Quzman as a great man. Let's refrain from exhibiting it. This looks to be quite expensive. Such a painting is worth exhibiting.

However, I personally don't like this artist and have mixed feelings about it. No. It's not good at all. This place just doesn't set off my alarm of approval. What's the matter, old man? What's the matter? Oh, you scared me there. Thank you for visiting the museum. Just look at this museum. There are so few items on display... As its curator I feel embarrassed. You really think so? I think you're worrying too much. Hmm...It does look kind of empty now that you mention it. Oh, I've got it! A great idea just came to me!

Ahem. The perfect solution is standing right before my very eyes.

Listen. You probably travel throughout the Sky, from island to island.

If you come across any precious items during your travels, would you be willing to donate them to the museum?

For each donation that you make, the museum will, of course, give you something in return.

You are also free to create an original museum of your own liking.

Hmm? Have I managed to capture your interest? That sounds like fun. What do you say, ? That sounds interesting. What do you say, ? Let's do it. Sounds like too much work. That sounds like fun. We'll do it. Oh, that's wonderful! Thank you so much for accepting to help the museum.

Before your next visit, I will have four new exhibit stands prepared for your new exhibit items.

I'll explain the details to you then. Please bring items that you feel are truly worth exhibiting.

I'm looking forward to seeing your choices. You're allowed to exhibit almost anything. Sounds like too much trouble. Ask someone else. I'm sorry. Please ask someone else. Oh, I see. I'm sorry to hear that. By some chance, did you change your mind? This museum is in definite need of your helping hand. What do you say, ? Before your next visit, I will have four new exhibit stands prepared for your new exhibit items.

I'll explain the details to you then. Please bring items that you feel are truly worth exhibiting. Place the items you wish to exhibit on the display stand of your choice.

You don't need to worry about where you place which item.

As you set the item on its stand, I'll give you my opinion of it. Don't mind my comments too much. This is it. I've been longing for an exhibit that could create this exact atmosphere.

These four items are undoubtedly the best possible choices. You've made me so happy. *sniff* This display stand is empty. Which item do you want to place here, ? %s is exhibited on this display stand.

Do you want to remove it, ? Remove %s. Don't remove %s. There's no need for you to rearrange the exhibit. It's spectacular as it is. Ha ha ha! W-wait! %s is exactly what I've been longing for.

Please. Please don't remove it. Looks like we're out of Blank Magnus.

We've gotta discard a Magnus we don't need in order to trap %s. Looks like we're out of Blank Magnus.

You notice a little something hiding in the shadows. Jill's Jewelry Box The exhibit commemorates the museum's grand opening. These instruments are used in traditional ceremonies. None of them look familiar to you. Open boxes are displayed inside the glass case. They seem to be music boxes. You see an impressive plaque inside the glass case. It appears to be a prize from a music contest. This particular instrument has been given thirty four strings. However, some of its brothers possess fewer strings. This difficult instrument requires swift plucking with the nails. Few can make it sing with its clear voice. This instrument is most often used to provide backup rhythm rather than the main melody. Some masters of this instrument play by plucking its strings with their fingers. The lush, sweeping sounds from this instrument remain in the listener's ear long after the last note has been played. This instrument is famous for having a range similar to that of a human voice.

It possesses a rich, sonorous tone. This instrument is crafted by hollowing a tree, stretching goatskin across its top and tying ropes around its body. Piscis Australis Turn this instrument's grooved cylinder and enjoy the sounds from its trumpet-shaped mouth. This device was created so that sound can be stored in a box and replayed at the heart's whim. An objet d'art. The Moon and the Star.

E0005421 Inside The Grand Duke's Manor Hall:07 Peachy Thank you for saving Lady Melodia from those villainous scoundrels. Duke Calbren is also grateful for what you have done. Thank you so much. The Grand Duke is expecting you in the center room upstairs.

He is very much looking forward to meeting you all. The entire Manor staff will be praying for your safe journey. You are the ones who saved Lady Melodia, are you not?

Welcome to our Manor. The staff of this Manor extends our warmest welcome. The door on the right leads to the museum where an assortment of musical instruments are currently on display.

The exhibited items are extremely rare instruments. You might enjoy taking a stroll through the museum and having a look at them. She only seems to be unconscious. It's nothing serious. They say that a strange noise can be heard in the museum at night.

It turns out it was only the noise from the sewer running through the underground passage. ...To tell you the truth, I'm not very brave, so I was really scared...

But now I can clean the museum again without getting the shivers. Are you surprised by the clamor? The museum has become much more lively, hasn't it?

Ever since the Grand Duke opened its doors to the public, we've been getting quite a few visitors.

I'm glad we get so many visitors. But I've gotten horribly busy... The mood around here has been very gloomy since we found out that Lady Melodia did all those terrible things...

In a way, I'm glad my life is so busy. I don't have much time to think about sad things. I'm extra busy today because students from a nearby school are visiting the Manor. It's our duty to maintain order in the Manor while the Grand Duke and Lady Melodia are away...

If the Grand Duke saw this racket, he would have a heart attack...

I know I have to do something, but I don't know what... Children are easily distracted. If I can get them to pay attention to something else, they should quiet down.

If only there were picture books or candies in the Manor...What should I do... Thank you for everything. The students have calmed down, thanks to your help.

I know it isn't much, but please accept this as a token of my thanks. Firedrake Fists The teacher has asked her students to lend us a hand. They should be quite helpful. This is the audience room. You are free to enter. ...Hurry... The room...downstairs... ...I'll be fine. Please go. Welcome to the Manor. You're always welcome here. The kid walking on the rail... I'm afraid she might slip and fall. Should I admonish her? Thank goodness she didn't fall. Now I can concentrate on my guard duties. Thank you for saving Lady Melodia in the Shrine of Spirits. Our entire staff here at the Manor is truly grateful. They headed for the underground passage...I tried to stop them...but...

I couldn't even break their stride... I'm so sorry... I'm all right... Please go after them... Welcome to Duke Calbren's Manor. Your brave party is always welcome here.

May I ask why you decided to pay a visit today? Perhaps you heard the rumors?

Strange noises have recently been heard from underground again. My guess is that the sewer is clogged, or it's the sewer rats. Students from a nearby school have come to visit the museum.

Playful children abound...full of energy. Surely it's a sign that all is well in Mira. I'm happy to see the children so full of life...But aren't they a little too hyper? I don't care if they break things, as long as they don't get hurt.

Children will always be reprimanded for their mischief. It's just part of growing up. I wanna go outside and play. How long do I have to stay here? That was so boring.

I want to see something more interesting than instruments.

Something more interesting like... Snow! I heard it's really cold and it melts super fast. Wow, this is Snow? It's freezing! Thank you so much! Hee hee hee. Thank you. Hee hee hee. Thank you. Yay! I got to see Snow. Man, the Grand Duke's Manor is huge!

With so much space, I bet it'll be a lot of fun to run around in here. All this running is making me thirsty. Nothing quenches a thirst worked up from irresponsible running like Pow milk... Hey, is that Pow milk? Are you saying you'll give it to me?

Perfect timing. I was just about to take a rest. Thank you. Hand on the hip is the only proper pose for drinking Pow milk after vigorous exercise... That's nothing. I've been scolded for worse. Do the grown-ups really expect these people to behave themselves? They'll be out of control in no time. They're tired of this boring old tour. So they found other ways to have fun.

I feel bad for the people of the manor, but look at our teacher. She's got it worse than anyone. I have to admit, I do enjoy watching this. They knew this is how it would end up. Yet they still misbehave... I wish I could live in a house like this. Playing the piano is getting boring...What should I do next?

Should I read a book? I feel like reading something easy...I would look at a picture book if I could find one. Can I borrow that Picture Book? I was getting kinda bored playing the piano. Thanks. I'll start reading in a little while. Cleaning up this room is getting boring. Can you think of any way to make cleaning fun? Only two people live in this big manor? That's so extravagant... They even have an indoor pool. Isn't that awesome?

All this luxury makes me wish I was rich, too.

Speaking of luxury...how about food?

A whole roasted bird...now that would be luxurious. How luxurious! They roasted the entire bird. I'm living in style. Thanks for the food. I'll enjoy it later. The sheer presence of all that meat...Will I eat so much and so well ever again? Class, today we're going to visit the museum in the Grand Duke's Manor.

Now there are many precious things in this Manor, so promise me you won't touch anything. Okay. We promise. Okay then. Follow the rules and let's have a fun visit. Okay! Oh dear, this is such an impressive Manor...I hope no one breaks anything expensive, like that rare pot... *pant*...*pant*... She was chasing after them, trying to make them behave...

Don't worry. She's just exhausted. Grown-ups really have it tough. I won't scold you if you've broken or destroyed house property.

But I will get angry if you cause trouble for others.

All of you still being noisy need to stop this instant! Let's hurry up and clean up the mess we've made. I won't scold you if you've broken or destroyed house property.

But I will get angry if you cause trouble for others.

We're not going home until this Manor is spick and span. And I mean cleaner than it was before we came. Greythorne Squeak squeak. Meemai Squ-squeak. You see unusual flowers in bloom. The pleasant fragrance of the flowers is noticeable throughout the room. Melodia Welcome. Thank you for taking the time to visit us. Calbren Welcome, travelers. I heard it was you who rescued my Melodia!

I am truly grateful.

Your other friend arrived a bit earlier. What other friend? All of us here at the Mansion bid you a warm welcome.

Please join the Duke upstairs. Hey, Savyna... ...? Say we manage to sneak into the Empire. ...Then what? We need to track down Geldoblame and Giacomo.

They should be on their way to finding the last End Magnus.

We have to catch up with them somehow. I guess you're right...

We'll be on enemy turf, chasing them down while trying to stay hidden.

That'll be tough to pull off. What are the odds of us winning? No idea. We'll just have to try and see. Ain't that the truth. By the way, about the lost End Magnus. You think it was one of us that... It's very likely. But who could've done it? Don't know. It could be . Or it could be me. Or it could be you. We'll find out when we get to the Empire. Yeah... Lady Melodia!! Are you all right, Milady? Where have you been all this time?! I'm fine...It's nothing.

I just, feel a little hot...maybe a fever. Oh dear, maybe you've caught a cold. Please, come inside! Okay... ...?! Lady Melodia! What is it?! Oh, you're bleeding! Congratulations, Milady.

You have become the true heir to the Duchy of Mira. The true...heir? Yes, Milady.

We will be teaching you everything you need to know to become a respectable Lady of the family. Me? Heir to the Grand Duke? Of course.

And it's not just about learning. You have to acquire appropriate etiquette as expected of a Lady... Yes, you will claim your birthright... I shall see to it... What? Did you say something? I said you will be taking more lessons, in dancing and horse-back riding, among others... E0005428 Inside The Grand Duke's Manor Audience Room:08 Calbren I'm sorry that we have to rely on you for so much.

But we have to stop Geldoblame's scheme, and failure would mean disaster...

It's going to get dangerous, but you're our only hope now.

I hope you have a safe journey and a safe return. Melodia must be waiting for you in her room.

Go tell her when you're ready to leave.

I know this journey will be very dangerous. Good luck. Great You be late, you all. It's you! What are you doing here?! The Great Mizuti be here to protect the very important Bo.

Knew you be coming. Knew because she has the Earth Sphere. ...? The important Bo? The Earth Sphere?

What are you talking about? Lord Calbren...

I have reason to believe you may know something about the End Magnus in this land...

We have little time left.

Emperor Geldoblame is plotting to release the five End Magnus and resurrect Malpercio.

Please tell us.

Where is the End Magnus now? Melodia I was just asking Grandfather that same question. Please, Grandfather. Tell us what you know. ...

The End Magnus are unique...very dangerous and powerful.

They are not to be disturbed.

Melodia told me what happened, but is Emperor Geldoblame really trying to obtain them? Yes.

Three of the five End Magnus are already in his possession... Is that so? The Emperor must not realize how dangerous those things are.

Long ago,

the End Magnus sealed here was discovered by one of my ancestors, a historian. He found it in the Mystical Garden, and unsealed it by accident.

This was what shifted Mira to waver across the boundary between the dimensions...

The End Magnus now lies under this manor, heavily protected. In the basement? I would never have thought! I knew I would have to tell you about this someday, Melodia.

It is a dark legacy, handed down from generation to generation by the Dukes of Mira.

Yet, till now, I didn't have the heart to tell you about it...

I wish we could simply forget about it, and just leave it sealed underground forever. Grandfather...

If this is the duty and birthright of our lineage, I will gladly take over the responsibility.

Please don't worry. I will bear the burden of my heritage. ... Melodia... I'm glad to hear that.

The Duchy of Mira has a worthy heir.

The entrance is in our ancestors' shrine room.

There is a hidden door that leads underground. You should have told her earlier. Things would have been much easier... Giacomo!! The Emperor's men?

Does your Emperor truly intend to unseal all of the End Magnus?

Doesn't he realize what would happen to the world?

That this would bring ruin to civilization, yet again?! Giacomo We will know in due time.

I'll be relieving you of your precious End Magnus. No! We must stop them! The time has come to return to Alfard...

Will I be able to confront my own people, the friends and family I grew up with?

Would I be able to face them in battle, if I had to? Why did it have to come to this? Good morning everyone. Did you rest well?

Melodia must be waiting for you in her room.

Go tell her when you're ready to leave.

I know this journey will be very dangerous. Good luck. E000542F Inside The Grand Duke's Manor Duke's Room:09 Duke Calbren's book collection is stacked inside the bookshelf. Something else is mixed in with them. Secret Recipe 5 Many books in this bookshelf have to do with sorcery. You see a bleak painting behind the flickering lamp light. It speaks to you of anguish and despair. The framed picture is of a young Melodia.

You notice something is hidden behind the photo stand. The Silent Woman The picture is of a scene with three frolicking white animals. Somehow it makes you feel sad. You see an ill-shaped piece of pottery. At the bottom, in very poor hand-writing, you read, "FoR UnClE." Empty liquor bottles stand next to each other. The labels are that of vintage, pricy liquor. Dry pens stand at attention inside the penholder. The pens appear to have been left there for quite some time. Calbren Emperor Geldoblame...

Does he truly intend to unleash the power of Malpercio in this world?

That pendant... That must be the one my ancestor left behind with his records...

How did it come to be in Geldoblame's possession? E0005436 Inside The Grand Duke's Manor Princess' Room:10 Melodia Is everyone ready to leave?

We can leave anytime you're ready. We're going to the Empire, so we have to be well-prepared. Yeah. It would be a shame if we're short on Magnus when we get there. Let's go. Let's prepare some more. Okay. Time to leave! You're ready to leave? Then let's get going. Umm. We should take some more time to prepare, just in case. I understand. I'll wait here until you're ready. Peachy I heard a scream coming from the hall?! What happened?! Umm...Is her Ladyship... Is Lady Melodia all right? Oh, thank goodness. I'm cleaning Lady Melodia's room. I want her to come back to nice, clean sheets and a fluffed pillow.

I wonder when she will return... She has been away a rather long time. I hope she has not forgotten to do her studies. She must surely realize that such a long stay would be taking advantage of the Empire's hospitality...

I suppose it's back to lesson one in etiquette, once she returns. A large framed photo of Melodia catches your eye. She is dancing elegantly in the photo. You see a small shelf with drawers. Inside, you find standard desk supplies: papers, pens, and scissors. You stare at a beautiful painting of roses. Not bad. Perhaps it's one of Melodia's works. The framed painting is of Melodia's parents. They are smiling warmly at you. Cosmetic items are carefully arranged on top of the dressing table. There are surprisingly few items for an adolescent girl. You see a soft, comfy-looking bed. There's something hidden underneath it. Tearless Mermaid This is the bed where Melodia usually sleeps. A very pleasant fragrance is given off by it. Not too soft and not too hard, but responds with just the right amount of bounce. This is one comfy chair. Sleet Shawl The wooden table is extremely white. Does the Lady like furniture? The room contains quite a large amount of tables. Calbren Our ancestor, the one who found the End Magnus in the Mystical Garden, left records of his findings.

They claim that the five End Magnus are the remains of a dead god, taken apart and buried separately. What?! The corpse of a deceased god? That's...awful... Now it all makes sense. The names of the End Magnus, Ar, Le, Che, Bo...

They must be named according to each body part. Arms, Legs, Chest, Body... A god's powers are retained in its remains, long after death...

The five End Magnus were infused with the power of an evil god... So that's what the curse was all about... The fifth and final End Magnus must be the "Head" of Malpercio. Looking at how the other Magnus have been named...number five must be called "He." Exactly. And the fifth End Magnus is buried somewhere in Alfard, Empire of the Flame.

So that's why, back in Anuenue, the light from the End Magnus pointed towards both Mira and Alfard. The End Magnus here had been unsealed, but was enclosed underground with magic.

It was not fully awakened.

That must be why the light indicated both islands... Alfard, Empire of the Flame... There's no turning back now... Let us go...to Alfard! Yeah, I second that.

Giacomo must have headed back to the Empire.

Let's go, . We'll take him out on his own turf! Let's go! ... Right on! Let's teach them a lesson, ! What's the matter, ? What's bothering you? We don't have much choice, you know. I'm with ya.

We need to stomp out Geldoblame's ambitions. Let's go... Off to find and protect the final End Magnus! The Empire shouldn't be underestimated. We have to reclaim all the End Magnus they stole, bury them, and put the god back to rest.

If only we could ease his hatred... Great Hmmmmmm... Now that you're awake...

Tell me, Great . Who are you anyway? Hm? You wish to know who the Great be? The Great be...

...Great. Simple. The Great also happens to be a Child of the Earth,

here to defeat the wicked god. ... Well, thanks for letting us know. Go back to sleep for a little while. You'll need your beauty rest.

Okay? ... does not seem to believe the Great 's words. Of course I do. I trust you.

The Great is going to defeat the wicked god, right? That makes six of us. Really? Truly? Yup, really and truly. We're a team now. Okay, then!

Remember one thing.

The Great Mizuti sometimes needs to tell lies. But you should never lie to the Great Mizuti. Never.

Remember! Okay, okay, Great . We won't lie to you. Right, ? ? That must be the name of your invisible friend...

The Great hears the voice, too. Hello! You're imagining things. The Great Mizuti acknowledges you, . The Great sees through the spirit's lies. It's great to have you with us again, . All for one, one for all! So, how are we gonna get inside the Empire? I can take you there with my ship.

I've made quite a number of visits to the Empire. They know my ship, and should let us into port easily enough. Thank you, Milady. That would be a great help. Wouldn't that be dangerous for you, Lady Melodia? No need to worry. I'll pass the time somehow, and head back alone.

There's nothing dangerous about it. Sounds like a plan! You should all get a good night's rest, and set off tomorrow. E000543D Museum Hidden Room:11 You peer into the water holder. There are sharp stone-like objects lying at its bottom. -- Coccolith, Labyrinth of Mirrors -- E0005444 Route 1:01 This must be an Interdimensional Crack. Could everyone be trapped on the other side?

It IS an animal. Should we take it, ? Come to think of it, we were supposed to take animals to Kaffaljidhma.

This is an animal, isn't it. Should we take it now, ? Yes, let's take him. No, let's not. Okay. Let's take this little guy. Time to go! Okay. I'll take this cute one. Let's get going!

I want to let Queen Corellia, King Ladekahn and Lord Calbren know that I've found everyone. We also need to ask them about any new developments. Right. Let's move out.

Quite clever, wouldn't you say? Using mirrors to reinforce the seal. Stop! You mustn't break the seal! Humph! I have a real bad feeling about this. Damn!! What is this?! No!! The End Magnus is being unsealed!! Oh man...this is bad. What should we do? Great Leave this to the Great Mizuti! ?! Great Mizuti No need worry. The Great Mizuti is invincible. Tee hee hee.

You may find them with pieces of the Star Map in their clutches. If so, claim them as loot. I heard a young lady in Pherkad found something in the streets which may be a fragment. I've heard rumors that one of the fragments is hidden somewhere near the port in Anuenue. Someone apparently saw a fragment in one of the houses in Waterfall Village. One of the fragments was seen blowing around in Waterfall Village. Maybe someone picked it up. It wouldn't surprise me to find one stored safely at the Grand Duke's Manor in Mira. An Imperial soldier in Mintaka supposedly has a fragment. Where he keeps it is anyone's guess. I've heard that a certain engineer has one of the fragments. I wonder where he lives... There are rumors about a frozen nation of ice existing somewhere, and in it, an icy castle.

If such a place truly exists, chances are you'll find one of the fragments there. I heard that in a town somewhere far away, frozen water—snow—falls from the sky.

You may find one of the fragments there. Some of the fragments may have fallen beneath the Taintclouds.

If anyone lives there, they may have found and kept some of them... Someone apparently saw a fragment in some desert cave. A fisherman reported seeing a fragment, drifting along on the Greater Celestial River. One of the winged monsters in Moonguile Forest was seen carrying an unusual Magnus. One of the winged monsters along the Cloud Passage was seen carrying an unusual Magnus. One of the winged monsters flapping around the Celestial Tree was seen carrying an unusual Magnus. One of the winged monsters near the Shrine of Spirits was seen carrying an unusual Magnus. I've heard rumors about the Ice Lands of Wazn...I wonder if there are any winged monsters there... Winged monsters have been seen in the Celestial Alps, as well... I'm sorry, but I don't have any promising leads at the moment.

I am doing my best to gather information... Keeper of the Star Map Only one more fragment left... The map is close to completion... Ask for information. Just look for it. Yeah. Well, I'll go look for it, sir. ... ...? Excuse me, sir. Do you have any info on the last piece? Let me see...information... It's not that there isn't any...

... I suppose you really want to finish restoring the Star Map, don't you? Of course I do. I'm not sure... What, ?? You just wanna leave it unfinished?! Well, we've come this far. Let's just complete it. I see... Yeah, , so do I... Sir, we've come this far. What's the hold up? ...

Well, I merely stood here waiting, while you and your companions searched the world over for the fragments.

I'm not sure if I'm...qualified to restore the Star Map. I suppose other things are troubling me as well...

Now that it's almost over, I have many doubts... Qualified? Doubts? He doesn't deserve to complete it. He deserves to complete it. I see... Well, I kinda see what you mean... I see... I was afraid you thought so... Oh, no, I wasn't talking to you, sir... Yeah. You do deserve it.

Thanks to your enthusiasm and knowledge, we've almost completely restored it!

Are you just gonna throw all that effort away? ...

... Well, perhaps you're right.

Very well, then. I've made up my mind. I'll hand it over to you. Th...this is the last fragment?! Why have you been hiding it all this time? I just couldn't bring myself to complete the Star Map... I'm terribly sorry for my behavior.

Yet, your words dispelled all my doubts and allowed me to make up my mind.

We have no right to pretend the Star Map never existed. Not again...never again. My apologies. Hand over any Star Map fragments. Look at the Star Map. I'd like info on the fragments. Nothing really. Okay. Let's begin. ...Hmm. I'm afraid you're not carrying any fragments.

Will there be anything else? Oh, thank you. It seems you still haven't found the last piece... ...Hmm? It appears that you aren't carrying any Constellation Magnus.

Please bring me any you happen to come across. Let us complete the Star Map together.

Anything else I can do for you? Let's see... Today, you've brought me...

I'm truly grateful.

Do you mind if I add to the Star Map? Not at all. Let's do it. Hold on, not yet. Not at all. Hold on, don't do it yet. Very well. Let us begin the restoration process. I understand. Please talk to me again when you'd like to continue the restoration.

Anything else I can do for you? Let's take a look, then. I'm sorry, but I don't have any information for you at this time.

I'm gathering information about the fragments from those who visit this church.

I have nothing substantial yet, but something should turn up soon.

Anything else I can do for you? There should be no more need for information. Let us complete the restoration. I see. Please be careful during your travels. Old Man Pardon me, young traveler. Could you spare a moment and listen to an old man's story? Eh...hmm? Hm...hmm? I have a favor to ask of you. A favor? Yes, a favor. There's something I would like you to look for during your travels.

Look at the ceiling above you. I hope to one day restore the Star Map to its former shimmering glory.

Before this old body of mine gives, that is...

Yet my wishes are but wishes... I'm too old to travel the world searching for the fragments.

Yet, a traveler like you...

You may be able to find the fragments, during the course of your journey.

What do you think? Would you be willing to search for the lost fragments?

The fifty missing fragments of the Star Map have been scattered throughout the world.

They are most likely in the form of "Constellation Magnus." If you come across any of them, please bring them to me.

I will reward you for each fragment you find for me. Okay.

If I find a "Constellation Magnus," I'll bring it to you, all right? All right.

So if I find a "Constellation Magnus," I just bring it to you, right? Yes, that's right. Thank you for taking on this task. Hmm?...Where is that young man? Your traveling companion... Did something happen to him? Um...yes... Though I know not what happened, my blessings are with you. Please don't look so glum.

Your friend will be beside you again. Soon...very soon. Okay... Thank you, sir. I was wondering where you were. It's good to see you again. The stars must have guided you. Yeah...something like that. Nice to see you again. I wish you continued luck in your gathering of the fragments. Please take this as a token of my gratitude for your help thus far. Please take this. It may prove useful during your travels. Please take this as a token of my gratitude for your efforts. Please take this...a small token of my gratitude. It's quite an old story...

The Star Map has finally been restored to its original glory. He would have been pleased. Yeah. I think so, too. I am deeply indebted to you, young traveler.

Please take this. It is the very last Magnus the engineer created.

I'm sure he would have wanted you to have it as well. Kalas, thank you... Thank you for everything.

May the stars guide you, wherever you may go. My blessings are with you. You have completed the Star Map! Hmm... What to do...What to do?... Oh, hello. Would you like to see the Star Map? Yes No Yes, let's take a look. Maybe later. Okay. Please drop by whenever you wish.

May the stars guide you, wherever you may go. Hello, . What can I do for you today? Let us restore the final constellation... Hello. ...only a single piece is left to be restored... Oh, I just remembered... I've gathered enough information to help you in your search.

I'll tell you everything I know, but I don't want to confuse you. I'll give you the information little by little.

Ask me several times if you want to hear everything.

And remember, there may be other fragments that I haven't heard about.

If I may say so, I think the best strategy would be to collect the Magnus one by one, using our current information. Hello. Have you found any Star Map fragments? Priest Simply winning battles is not enough to increase your various strengths and capabilities.

You need to pray before the altar, and reflect on your experiences.

Only then will you truly learn, and your abilities will improve.

This is the only way to realize and fulfill one's true potential.

Pray within these hallowed halls.

Remember that the power of realization can only be attained through prayer.

Visit this church whenever possible, to learn of your true powers and abilities. You will find artifacts in this world, items of great power.

Even in Magnus form, these items retain their magic, and will help you prepare for even greater ordeals.

If you desire to possess such strength, bring me the required Magnus,

and its inexpressible gift shall be entrusted to you.

The power bestowed upon you from these special Magnus will be of different quality than that of a normal level up. Another adventurer...

Do you stand before me in search of greater power? Whoa whoa, what are you talking about? I don't get it. Where am I anyway? Hm? What are you talking about? Where am I? Those who seek spiritual growth visit this church to pray...

If you have earned enough experience through your travels, your prayers will be answered.

This may be confusing, at first. I will try to answer any questions you may have. What would you like to know? Ask about increasing Levels. Ask about increasing Class Levels. Any other questions? Go forth, and earn some experience, so that you may improve upon your abilities. Welcome, adventurer. Confess before me what you wish. Pray. Ask about Level Up. Ask about Class Up. %s Constellation Let us continue the restoration. Your journey may be fraught with difficulties and bitter hardship.

Old Man This is the Star Map. Over fifty years ago, skilled artisans gave birth to this splendid creation.

The starlight shining down from the ceiling was truly a sight to behold...

One day, however, the Star Map was torn to pieces and scattered all over the world.

As you can see, the few stars still left can only twinkle with sadness. Keeper of the Star Map Hmm... The sparse canvas of the Star Map is getting more lively.

I owe it all to you. Thank you very much. Hm...Many constellations have been restored to the Star Map.

To be perfectly honest, I didn't think that so many would actually be restored.

I owe it all to you. Thank you very much. ...This is? Looks like the Star Map started shining all by itself. ...This is? Looks like the Star Map started shining on its own. Hmm...

The restoration of the constellation lights may have re-activated the original functions of the Star Map.

But it's still not complete.

When all the constellations have been restored, the Star Map will regain its true appearance. Ohh... At last...the 12 constellations of the the zodiac have been restored.

I had completely given up hope that a complete restoration could actually be achieved.

I owe all of this to you. I can't thank you enough. ...

I'm speechless... The Star Map is truly a breathtaking sight. Yeah, I agree. Whoever made this must've been pretty special... ...

Fifty years ago, this Star Map was created by a lone Magnus architect.

Yet, he who gave birth to it also became its undoing...He destroyed his own masterpiece. He made the Star Map and...then destroyed it? Yes... This was a long time ago.

The Magnus engineer achieved great fame, and even celebrity status through his creation...

the Star Map above you.

However, his fame eventually became nothing more than a heavy weight that bore down upon him.

No matter what new works he created, they could never surpass his masterpiece.

People expected him to come up with something even better. Eventually he could no longer bear it...

Expectations he could not meet drowned him in his own sense of failure.

His despair eventually drove him to shatter the Star Map.

He broke the Map into pieces so that it could never be made whole again. ... But as time passed and he grew old, I am sure that he came to regret his destructive acts.

Whispers of regret, every time he gazed upon the night sky...

He no longer had a legacy... Nothing at all...

What the blaze is that?! Never seen anything like this... Same here... Looks like the Celestial River is flooded. We can't get seaweed in these conditions.

What should we do? We have to hurry, Shorty's life is at stake here!! ... Let's fish! Excuse me?! What on earth are you talking about? Yeah, that's it, Anna! Let's fish! Has everyone here lost their minds? Some fish or another is bound to have pekusa seaweed in its gut.

If we can catch one, presto! The seaweed's ours for the takin'! Now I get it! What a great idea! Not bad for a knucklehead like you, Reblys! Humph! A compliment from one of my lessers. But...the fish in this river are huge.

How are we gonna handle them? Don't worry, Anna. Where there's a will, there's a way. Yup, as long as we have faith, and keep moving on. You think you can take me?

I'll show you what being a man of the Sky is all about! A man of the Sky?

I'll show you what bein' a real man of the Sky is all about. Woooaaahhhh! Woooaaahhhh! ... It's so peaceful... All we can do is wait for one of 'em to take the bait. Yeah... This is true... It's so quiet... It's so calm... Hey Anna...you know this one? Everything comes to those who... Oh! I've got one! Really?! Darn. See, those are the three things I have, and you lack!

Skill, guts, and luck! What?! Hm! Whoa! This bugger is huge!

Good thing it bit my line, would've been long gone by now if it hadn't been me. Seems both the fish and the Sky know...

who's worthy of the catch... Reblys! Shut up and fish! Wooaahh!! ...!! Are you guys okay?! We're fine Anna, just leave us be! It's about honor. About being a man of the Sky! Precisely! Huh? What are you talking about? Arrrggghhh!! Gnnnnnuuu!! If it's too much for you, leave it to me. Your bones must be achin'. Shut up, ... Your knees are wobbling! You wish! They're shakin' up a storm! Look, Reblys. It's getting tired... Yeah...almost got it! Woooaahhh! Well done! Look, Anna. Take a look at its mouth. That's it. Pekusa seaweed. , so the rumors were true. That you were a Knight of some standing... That was ages ago. I see. But you're not bad as a fisherman... Reblys... Nothing near what I am, of course, but good enough. Heh, give me a break, will ya? Humph. You give me a break, . Ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!! Wha ha ha ha ha ha!! Ha ha ha ha ha!!! Haaa ha ha ha ha!! Let's just leave them here. -- Nihal Desert -- E000548A Oasis:1A The sand's too deep to go any further. E0005491 Strong Wind:1B E0005498 Strong Wind:1C Hmm...What should I do?

Maybe it'll be easier if I just let myself be killed by a monster.

Butchered, and then eaten by a monster, or die from thirst. Geez, are those my only options? Huh? How long have you been standing there? Aw, it doesn't matter anymore.

Imagine you're lost in the desert without any water. What would you do?

Don't you agree that the easiest thing would be to just give up and die?

Yet, if I only had a little water, maybe I'd find the strength to carry on. Hey, thanks a lot buddy! With the water you gave me, I just might be able to make it out of here alive. Whoa! Water! Are you really here with me?! You've gotta be a magician or something!

Thanks a lot. I needed this. I might make it out of here, just yet.

You saved my life. I know it isn't much, but it's all I got. Please take this. Chaos Mail E000549F Dungeon:1D Woman with a Bracelet P-please. Spare me water. I'm so thirsty. Even a drop will do... Oh, no. I'm dying. Please spare me some water. Thank you. I'm all right. I feel better now. I can take care of myself. Ah, you're the one who spared me the water. I'm fine now and can take care of myself. Zuhr I feel better now, and when I've rested, I'll take shelter somewhere. So don't worry. Have you met my husband, Asakir? He's probably still standing under that big waterfall in Sadal Suud.

If you haven't already, please hurry and tell him to go to his father's house. *gulp* *gulp* *gulp*

Ah, I feel refreshed! I'm fine now. Thanks. *gulp* *gulp* *gulp*

I can drink it, but... It smells stagnant. I'm still thirsty... *gulp* *gulp* *gulp*

Ah, I'm fine now. I can stand on my feet again. Thank you. *gulp* *gulp*?!

Whoa! It's salty! It stings my tongue! *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*

Now I'm even more thirsty! Give me some drinkable water! *gulp* *gulp*?!

This is strong liquor! I can't drink it. *cough* *cough* *gough* *cough*

Now I'm even more thirsty! Give me drinkable water! What is that? My vision is blurred. Please give me water. My father-in-law is dying? That's urgent. But I can't go now.

I'll take cover while you vanquish the monsters.

Please get rid of the monsters as soon as possible. I'll sign the Family Tree now. Good luck. E00054A6 Mirage:2A La la la...I'm starting to see a mirage again... A person, standing in front of me, here in the middle of this godforsaken desert?

Oh, I don't care if you're just a mirage. I'll give this to you, if you'll give me some water in return. Thank you, you wonderful mirage, you! I think I might just make it after all. This imaginary water really hits the spot. I'm starting to feel a little better now. Galeos Fangs No, I don't believe it! I'm a luckless fool abandoned even by my own hallucinations. Oh, I don't care if you're just a mirage. I'll give this to you, if you'll give me some water in return. The sand's too deep to go any further. E00054AD Goal:2B Azdar They got the jump on us, . Be careful... A beat-up compass too busted up to be possibly useful is protruding from the sand. This area is still free of monsters. We should be safe for a while.

Thank you, . If it wasn't for you and your friends... Don't get mushy on me. Hm? Girl ... ... Don't you ever go following someone again without permission. Okay? ... What's the matter? Do you want to tell us something? ...? Is this...for me? The monster...that stole my daddy's face...

You didn't fight back...even though it attacked you...again and again...

Thank you. Thanks...Thank you! Phoenix Crest Looks like an Azhani design.

A token of their craftsmanship. Likely her father's... I'll see you, Savyna. Good luck. You too, Azdar. Stay strong. E00054B4 Dungeon:2C The sand's too deep to go any further. E00054BB Oasis:2D Olifant Fwaaaaaaw! Fwaaw! Fwaaaaaawaaaw! This animal is called an Olifant. Should we take it to Kaffaljidhma, ? Let's take it. Don't bother. E00054C2 Strong Wind:3A The sand's too deep to go any further. E00054C9 Dungeon:3B No! I can't walk another step! To think I've come this far.

But monsters are wandering around everywhere. I'm doomed. It's useless in the desert, but I was lucky to have kept it. Yooooooow!! It's freezing. What? What was that?! Is this your doing? You gave me water?? Thank you. How generous!

I want to give you something in return, but unfortunately I don't have anything of value.

I grabbed this when I was swallowed by the sandstorm. Use it if you like. Holy Armor The sand's too deep to go any further. E00054D0 Imperial Transport Ship:3C E00054D7 Dungeon:3D Hey, you! I don't know what you're doing out here, but will you do me a favor?

My friends were carried away by a sudden sandstorm!

If you happen to see them, would you help them for me?! This isn't just some joke. My friends' lives are on the line here.

By the way, you don't happen to have some water on you, do you? Don't worry about me. A short rest and I'll be fine again.

Please find my friends and help them. Phew...I thought I was gonna die from thirst. Thanks a lot, stranger.

We're out here in the desert. Who knows when or even if we'll meet again. Let me give this to you now. Thanks a lot. Red Impulse What kind of fools are you? Coming out here into the desert without any water... I know you need it, too, but could you spare me a little water? E00054DE Oasis:4A The sand's too deep to go any further. E00054E5 Mirage:4B E00054EC Dungeon:4C E00054F3 Start:4D E00054FA Cellar Entrance:02 Azdar and his troops went through the cave and headed for the desert.

Please take the same route they did. If you're the one they call Lady Death, I'm confident everyone will be saved. Skull Barrette Soldier Hey, look! Lady Death! She's back! E0005501 Cellar:03 Did you come to get rid of the monsters for us? Are you all right? You're dripping with sweat. A legendary hero is gonna show up and save us, right? The man wearing a turban was really upset, and said you should be more careful.

You shouldn't do things that upset people, you know. Those guys just stood there all day with scary faces and wouldn't play with us at all. We're so bored.

Let's play together! The man wearing a turban brought you here unconscious. You can't just up and take items without paying, you know. No money, no item. Okay?

I've been working so hard, trying to support the kids.

If you feel sorry for them, buy as many items as possible! My featured items should really come in handy. Use them well! I want to earn as much money as possible so I can take care of them kids.

So, you feelin' motivated to buy more items? Hey, that thing on your back... That's a Winglet, isn't it? You must be from the Empire.

And that guy behind you... His uniform looks mighty familiar.

Soldiers wearing that very same uniform came here in droves...

And... And they killed my mom and dad!

Leave us alone! I'd rather die than be helped by bad people like you! Wait. We are not... Shut up, shut up! I never talk with Imperials! NEVER! Get out of here! Lyude, let's go. Nothing we can say now will make any difference.

We can come back and talk with them later, when we have more time. I have nothing to say to people from the Empire.

The Empire's just a nation of murderers. Insane cutthroats. ...What? No one's ever said anything like that to me before...

You came a long way just to tell me that? You're...actually a good person.

Here. Take this, a token of our friendship. Red Oak It's a memento of my father. Take good care of it. I believe in you...and the message of that girl named Scalla! Child or adult—what does it matter in a time of crisis?

If we work together, we can protect this place.

So, let's do whatever you think we have to do. So, let's do whatever you think we have to do. My brother says I shouldn't talk with people from the Empire. So I'm not gonna talk to you anymore. My brother said we can trust you. Are you friends with the Imperial soldiers?

If you are, maybe I can trust them, too. We can't forget what they've done to us, no matter how much they try to apologize.

They don't understand how much we've suffered because of them...

...Still, I wonder why they bother to help us... I always thought they were cold-blooded animals. But maybe they still have a bit of human kindness in their hearts. I don't trust Imperial soldiers. I'm sure they're up to no good again. You may feel disappointed with me for saying this...

But to tell you the truth, I believe it would be better if I stayed here to pass away.

Even if I go on living...

...If we're just going to start another miserable life elsewhere, I would probably be better off dead. I'm sorry for being so pessimistic. But this is how most elders tend to feel these days... Being cooped up in this place is taking its toll on everyone.

The least I can do is prepare a good meal. It'll be something for people to look forward to and give them the strength to carry on.

...

Small things like this are what pull us through such hard times. The most important thing now is a desire to live. The Mad Wolf Unit took this passage to get to the desert. I suggest you follow them. Oh, and also, you should take this with you. Twinstone Compass The Mad Wolf Unit's leader has one of these, too.

A special spell was cast on its needle, and the two compasses are linked together.

Walk in the direction the needle points you, and you'll eventually get to the other compass.

That compass also has another nice function. It locates water with the blue light.

Your water will run out soon, and of course you can't carry heavy water barrels out there.

So it's vital that you find water on your way.

This is the best I can do for you. I hope it helps...

Traveling in the desert is no cakewalk. But I'm confident you can make it. Good luck! If you're gonna travel in the desert, don't forget to take along some pristine water.

Without it, you'll surely dehydrate and pass out from the heat and sandstorms.

You can find some pristine water in the pot in the kitchen. If I were you, I'd ask for some before I head out there. Water is vital for surviving out here in the desert, but unless you ration it carefully, you'll run out quickly.

My job's to keep guard over our precious water supply and make sure no one tries to steal from it. But you foks are welcome to take some.

Hey, don't worry about it. There's enough to go around.

We're being protected by you. It's a small price for us to pay considering what we receive in return. Girl ... Greythorne Squeak? Meemai Squeak squeak! Squeak. Dragon Plum Bud This pottery is common in Azha. It must be a traditional craft. The kiln's fire is burning intensely. There is some pottery here. Some of it is cracked and seems useless. Stained dishes. It appears they can't afford to waste precious water cleaning dirty dishes. Wooden boxes have been piled up in this area. They're empty now, but probably contained food in the past.

Upon closer inspection, you notice something at the bottom of one of the boxes. Rooster Wooden boxes have been piled up. They're empty now, but probably contained food in the past. Although the barrel is filled with water, given the number of people, it will run out within a few days. Centaurus Only a little pristine water remains in the large vase. A little water still remains in the vase. Only a little food is still left in the box. Even this small amount will last a few days. Azdar ?! You're safe... We made it in time. Boy am I glad to see you! We could really use your help here.

So far we've managed to avoid any serious confrontations with the monsters.

But there's a nest of ghouls ahead that we weren't able to get through.

With your help, we should be able to fight our way through it and reach the other side safely. Understood. But...why didn't you guys just leave to save your own hides?

The Azhani villagers must be making things difficult.

Why are you helping the ones you once helped to slaughter? Hmmm, can't say for sure...

Back then, we were on a mission.

As the world got caught up in this mess, I felt the least we could do is save what lives we can... I guess that's what I figured.

I'm not so sure myself. Some of my men have deserted to save their own necks.

I guess that's somewhat understandable. At any rate, what brought you here? Hmmm. You've changed, Savyna. Well, let's get some rest and set off first thing tomorrow. All right. I'm glad all of you came, too. Welcome to our little hell. I really appreciate the help. ...?! ... My unit will scout ahead and see what's out there.

, you and your friends should follow us at a short interval, securing the area.

I've asked the villagers to wait here for now.

Once we've secured an escape route, we'll come back and escort them out. Understood. Be careful, Azdar. Yeah. I don't get hurt that easily.

We'll teach those ghouls to fear the Mad Wolf Unit. Come on, everyone. Let's go! We should be heading out, too. ...Huh? Where am I?

How did I get back here? A man wearing a turban brought you here.

He said he went out to look for you, because you never showed up. I see... We've been saved too many times. Let's be more careful from now on. The man wearing a turban was really upset, and said you should be more careful. Whew... This is really frustrating. -- Celestial Alps -- E0005508 Dungeon 1:01 Huh? What's that noise? Whoa! What was that?! Fat Woman with a Bracelet *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff*.

If you go up the path, *puff* *puff*, you'll find, *puff* *puff* *puff*, my mother, *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff*...

Sorry for the trouble, *puff* *puff*, but will you go, *puff* *puff* *puff*...

and tell her, *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff*, to wait there, *puff* *puff* *puff*... Thanks for telling her. You can imagine how long it'll take me to get up the hill...

You look tough. You look built. Will you push me, help me, so I can reach her? I'm counting on you. Don't worry. I'm not that heavy. It should be a piece of cake for you. If you have so much time to chitchat, *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff*, why don't you push me better?

Please help. Just standing here makes me tired. You'd understand if you were overweight. Just remember, don't you dare abandon me in the middle of the task. I won't complain out loud, but I'll be silently weeping in my heart.

And when you come back, I'll be back where you first found me. You'll have to go through the same trouble all over again, I'll make sure of that.

Go to my mother by myself? No way. I want you to push me. So how about we get going? Hey, I remember that face! How dare you abandon me and leave the task unfinished!

Oh, I'll let it slide...this time. But you've got to push me up to my mother, and this time do it right! Thank you so much. That was very kind of you.

I'm always telling myself I'll go on a diet, but I never get around to it. Most people eat to live, but I live to eat. I'm lucky I met you there. If you hadn't passed through, I may never have been reunited with my mother. Al-khatib I wasn't so heavy, was I? I'm much thinner than I used to be. Thank you for pushing me. I'll go see my grandfather, once I'm rested up enough to move again. *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff*.

Sorry, *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff*, about the, *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff*, trouble, but, *puff* *puff* *puff*...

Will you bring, *puff* *puff* *puff* *puff*, my daughter here? *puff* *puff*. *puff* *puff* *puff*. I'm pooped! It's very generous of you to help me out so much. Can you wait a minute? *puff* *puff* *puff*. I need to catch my breath...*puff* *puff*. I can't keep talking or I'll get winded...*puff* *puff*. Al-rumi Hold your horses, will you? We'll go to Quzman's after we take a little breather. Has my husband, Nubata, already come? If not, *puff* *puff*... go to Parnasse and tell him to come.

Don't worry. You'll know him when you see him. *puff* *puff*. He's constantly eating. Did you hear me? *puff* *puff*. I asked you to...*puff* *puff*, tell her to come. Keep pushing...Keep pushing... I don't want to be left alone! You came all the way out here for old Gramp Quzman? You have such stamina!

All right. *puff* *puff*. I'll sign it for you. Give it to me. You've been listening to me, right? *puff* *puff*. I'm still talking, you know! What's that? Why don't you...*puff* *puff*, bring my daughter first? *puff* *puff*. Bring my daughter first. *puff* *puff* Then I'll help you. *puff* *puff*. What?...*puff* *puff*. My father-in-law is dying? Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Does my husband, Nubata, know about this? He may feel reluctant to go...

I'll sign...*puff* *puff*...the Family Tree for you. *puff* *puff*, lemme have it. Thank you for everything. We'll go to Quzman's once we catch our breath. Thank you. Right here is just fine. Don't be in such a hurry! *puff* *puff*. We'll fall and break our necks. Why don't we take a little rest and have something to eat? Hey! The air is thin up here. Why don't we take a rest?! Canis Minor E000550F Dungeon 2:02 Apocalypse Sword E0005516 Dungeon 3:03 Air Slash E000551D Mountain Hut from Outside:04 We were asked to bring back animals to Kaffaljidhma. We should be able to take one from here, right, ? I think we can. No, we can't. We can. No, we can't. Yeah. We don't want to kill it. We just want to take it, all right? Right. We're taking it to a person who wants this animal. Okay. Let's take this one! Caplin (White) This Caplin doesn't seem to get along with the others. Should we take it, ? Poor little guy. He seems to have a problem with the others. Should we take it, ? Let's take it. Let's not take it. Okay. Let's take it! I'm glad you said that. It seems to want to come with us... Let's take it. Caplin (Black) Chaos Mail Azure Sand E0005524 Inside the Mountain Hut 1:05 A statue of a woman with wings spread wide. It makes you feel at peace... Silk Veil It's filled with Caplin food.

It must have been used for Caplin milk. Something's piled up here. It's hard to say what they are exactly. They look like they've remained untouched for a long time and they're covered with old dust. Old containers are piled up here. They used to be transparent. Efreeti Saber So where is this thing that Gramps left for me? I would also like to know about my father's legacy. Giacomo!! Aren't you supposed to be dead?! Ayme Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not that easy... Folon ...To get rid of us. You! Giacomo It's been a while, hasn't it, ?

After our fight at the Goldoba, we kept a low profile and watched the story unfold.

We weren't quite sure what was going on at first.

To think we were tricked by a mere girl... I knew that the Emperor and Melodia were on good terms,

but I never realized the girl was controlling the Emperor all along...

What in the world is she? But keeping watch from Anuenue was a wise decision.

Now we know the whereabouts of Larikush, too. You've been following us! Yes...though not all the time.

We had preparations to take care of. Georg and Larikush feigned their deaths perfectly twelve years ago.

I believed you had all died in that explosion.

Imagine my surprise when, nearly a decade later,

I heard rumors that there was an excellent engineer in Mira.

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the man had a grandson with only one wing. I told him to stop...But he was obsessed with making stuff.

He loved using his inventions to help people out. There was no end to his tinkering! Humph! My father, Georg, had a special talent.

Did you notice, ? His gift was the ability to talk with objects.

This helped him when he was working for the Empire. He would modify the experimental Magnus, all the while discussing theories and results with it.

I heard my grandmother, Georg's mother, lost her way in the Lava Caves when she was young.

As you know, one of the End Magnus was sealed there...

Though Georg's mother didn't notice, the power of the evil god must have tainted her.

When Georg was born, the taint was passed on to him... Back then, Georg was totally obsessed with his experiments.

They took precedence over everything else. It was almost as if he was possessed.

In retrospect, the power of the End Magnus may have been driving him. Two years ago, having learned the truth about the lab accident, Geldoblame gave the order to have you all killed.

You betrayed him and made a fool of him. He was simply infuriated.

Geldoblame had completely forgotten about the events of a decade ago, and even had doubts as to whether Georg's experiments were valid.

I would have wanted to bring Georg back to the Empire and have him renew his research...

...oh well. Enough talk. Ayme, Folon, we shall proceed. Just give the word! Ready when you are! ? Are you all right, ?! Argh... I remember now.

It was Fee... Fee saved my life that night... ?! Argh! !! At last you realize who you are.

At first, I couldn't understand what had happened.

I was sure you must have died that night, two years ago.

Yet as events unfolded, an inspiration became a theory, and a theory became an obsession...

That your brother, Fee, the Divine Child, lives within you.

On that night, two years ago, Fee gave you his life...

allowing you to absorb his Magnus! Cast light upon the darkened earth... Save those lost in despair...

O Mighty Ocean, guide us as we journey through... The darkest pit of night... You leavin'? Yeah. I know Giacomo told us to join you,

but that doesn't mean we can just forget the past and be all chummy now, does it? And to Kalas, I'll always be a foe, the one who killed his grandfather and brother. ... Both Folon and I are from Azha Village...

We were orphans.

Geldoblame bought us as guinea pigs for Georg's experiments... Kalas, I don't know or care what you think,

but the two of us, we're happy Georg's gone! Anyway...see ya around. Please...don't try anything reckless... Should we get goin', too? Chaotic Illusion E000552B Inside the Mountain Hut 2:06 Holy Armor Skull Buckle A shovel and grass cutter are hung here. They don't seem to have been used recently. There are many pots, but most of them are broken. Bags of Cebalrai Wheat. Many people could live for a long time on this amount of wheat. A small amount of liquid remains in it.

I have no interest in the Magnus of Life, or the Divine Child... Fee's story is now over!! Argh?! Giacomo! You destroyed Gramps' Winglet!! You!! My father, Georg, is dead. So is the Emperor...

When you and Larikush die, everything will be over... Yes, everything... Time to die, !! ...?! Argh!! !! ... It's over. ...?! It's a Winglet...Gramps? Damn, there it was! Is this what he left for me? -- Goldoba : The Phantom Ship -- E0005540 Cabin 1:01 Grace Shield Jasper Gem Imperial Commander So, the traitor finally returns... ...?! Look at what's happened. Take a good look at what's become of the Empire. This is all your fault. You betrayed us all.

The darkness took us all... No! It wasn't my fault! Whether you admit it or not, you played a role in ruining your homeland... You will bear this badge of shame for the rest of your life...

Everyone knows you're a traitor and a coward! How...how dare you!

I would never hope for the destruction of my homeland. Never!! Your hopes are irrelevant. It has already happened... ...! Hey, Lyude...you okay, buddy? What are you mumbling about? Huh? Didn't you...didn't you hear the voice?! The voice? ...I didn't hear anything. Anyone hear a voice? That means... Only I heard it speak? But how?

You always hated us...Our family... You hated us all, deep down in your soul... That's not true! Why would I hate you? Why indeed? Don't play innocent, Lyude...

We hated you... We despised you...

Of course, you knew that, didn't you? Don't pretend like you never knew, Lyude...

We never cared about you... Not in the least... Because... Skeed and Vallye You didn't deserve to be loved. No!!

Still. Why did you enter this Illusory Fortress? Do you know how to get out, perchance? I happened to get lost in this Illusory Fortress, and I've been trapped here ever since.

I'm so grateful to see you! I can get out of here alive now, can't I? I nearly gave up hope... Tumart I wonder if Tufayr and Tulun are okay. I must have caused them so much worry.

They've always been so very kind to me. I'm glad I'll be able to see them again. What destiny... The person who was looking for his family, saved my life.

At my age, I never imagined I would feel this grateful to my father, Quzman. I'll be there. So, you came all the way to look for me on behalf of Quzman?

What irony! The person who saved me, brought news of my father's critical condition...

The gods must have arranged all of this. I'll be more than happy to go. You want me to sign here, right? Hey. Where are you going?! Please tell me who you are and why you're here. Yowwwsers! Help!

...Of course, with a little elbow grease, I could've broken outta here myself... *chuckle* I know, I know. So, how are things going on the outside? I mean, how bad is it? They're hanging on somehow, keeping the enemy at bay... I see...

Well, no time to waste. Let's get back to business and save the world! There's a small opening in the wall...

Hmm? Something's written here.

"Set here the white Magnus. The symbol of freedom which flies in the sky."

So, how's the battle situation? They're holding up.

Lady Corellia, King Ladekahn and Duke Calbren have joined forces, and are doing all they can. Be honest with me, Xelha. We need to face reality head on,

or it may stab us in the back someday... Well... To be honest, things seem to be getting worse...

Our forces are barely holding their ground. I'm not surprised. Apart from the knights, almost none of the troops have any combat experience.

They're really no match for the enemy forces. We have to do something! I'm with you there! Let's go. The battle of truth lies ahead.

...And Kalas still needs our help, right? Yes he does. There's a small opening in the wall...

Hmm? Something's written here.

I thought I was done for...

That all our efforts were in vain...

...I can't thank you enough. It was nothing, really. Are you okay? Can you walk on your own? Yes, I'll be all right. Let's rejoin the others!

We must do what we can before it's too late. There's a small opening in the wall...

Beautiful white wings for you...

For the world... Death and destruction... Aha ha ha ha...ha ha ha...

The gate to Ar has been opened. Stars, be prepared... ...for the song of destruction! The gate to Le has been opened.

The world is one step closer to destruction.

I will find you all... None will escape!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!! The gate to Che has been opened.

You worthless mortals. No matter what you may do...No matter what you may try...there is no avoiding that which must come to pass.

The world is in my hands... I am the blade of divine revenge! The gate to Bo has been opened. Now, only one door remains...

To this world, he will summon the Cor Hydrae, bastion of evil, banished to another dimension.

And the countless creatures within, finally released from exile...

The world will die a slow and painful death...

It is almost here... Just a little longer...

Ha ha ha ha!! The Gate to He, the last of them all, will soon be open...

All of the End Magnus will be free... And the end of the world will begin...

No one, nothing may escape from the curse... Escape from destruction... E00056CF Georg's House:06 Fee Grandpa, is it true that somewhere in this world there's a huge puddle called "the Ocean"?

And a big old fish called "the whale" swimming around in it?

I heard "the whale" is so smart, it'll know the answer to anything you ask! Georg Oh, I don't know. I've never met anyone who's actually seen that creature.

Hand me that wrench, Kalas. Hmm... I think there really is an Ocean, somewhere.

The whale must be there, too! I wanna ask him something. ...And what is it that you want to ask? It's a secret. Can't tell anyone, not even you, Grandpa... Ah, a secret, is it? Hey, Fee.

Whad'ya say we go out and find the Ocean and this "whale" of yours someday? Really?! Sure. When you grow up, that is. Promise? I promise. You and me together, on a quest to find the lost "Ocean" and its "whale." Yesss!!! I know we'll find 'em! I just know it! Gramps... Why do I only have one wing? Kalas, don't be so worried about that.

No one ever said that having wings makes one superior.

Perhaps those without wings are the next step in evolution, and those with wings are obsolete.

If this is true, it means you're one big step ahead of them. That's not what I asked about... Why only one? ... A difficult question, I'd say.

The Wings of the Heart are the visual manifestation of the energy, willpower and aura that any person has.

They are strongly affected by an individual's emotions.

As emotions are involved, so is the mind.

That is to say, the electrical signals from the left and right hemispheres... I have no idea what you're talking about, Gramps! Hey, Kalas. It's okay to have only one wing.

You're my big brother, either way.

I don't have any wings, but I don't even care. Well, I do care... Don't worry, Kalas.

I will do my utmost to make you a wing.

A wonderful wing that will grow as you do. Yes! Kalas, I also intend to make you another wing,

one that will help you, should you be caught up in a fierce struggle. That is the least I could do to redeem what I have done to you... Forgive me, Kalas... E00056D6 Plains:07 Fee Hey, Kalas, don't forget your promise! We're gonna go look for the Ocean and the whale! That's right, we'll find them, together, wherever they are! Yesss!!! If both of us go, I know we'll find... ...? What's wrong, Fee? We're all going to die, aren't we?

No matter what...It'll just happen...

I guess what we promised won't happen...ever. Answers are not to be given...

One must find the right question... The right question... Almarde...I never told you, but I always thought of you as... Almarde ... E00056DD Mintaka Laboratory:08 Man That doctor designed the very first Imperial Winglet and the famed Battleship Goldoba to boot.

But, as you may know, there's a fine line between pure genius and absolute insanity.

He became obsessed with some sort of dangerous research. Night after night he would perform this research in secret. On one of those nights, a huge explosion enveloped his laboratory in flames and took the poor doctor's life.

That was over ten years ago.

His obsession was said to be some dreadful and forbidden type of research.

Even today, no one is supposed to talk about that doctor. Georg Tell me, Larikush... What on earth have we done?

We succeeded in creating life from a Magnus...

But for what purpose? Is it worth anything at all?

Or did we merely open a door leading to further sorrow and despair? Larikush Georg, we have other things to think about right now. We need to make a decision.

After all, we're their "parents." It's our responsibility to do the right thing and protect them. Right... You're absolutely right. What do you want to do? Follow Geldoblame's orders and continue your research? No. We must put an end to this.

Kalas and Fee can no longer be victims of his vile ambitions!! I understand. There's only one thing we can do then... Yes...let's destroy this lab with explosives, so that no records or samples can be recovered.

Nothing shall remain. We'll feign our deaths in the explosion, and leave the Empire in secret...

We should head for Mira. That island is close to the dimensional boundary and periodically shifts between dimensions.

Even if they find out we set up the explosion, being in Mira should buy us some time.

The four of us will live in peace. You, I, Kalas and Fee... Shhh! Someone's coming. Giacomo I came to confirm tomorrow's schedule for the Holomaton experiments.

How is your analysis of its Magnus coming along? No problems... It's going exactly as planned. We need to account for fluctuations related to his growth patterns.

We need more time, to be sure... I've told you this repeatedly. Humph. So you need more time. How much? Five more years? Ten? At your current rate, it may well take forever.

We need results, not excuses.

The Emperor's patience has its limits.

Also, you have orders to dispose of the defective sample tomorrow.

It's no longer of any use to us. No need to keep it alive. ...! Giacomo, how could you... Georg! Don't! Grr.... Giacomo, let me ask you...

This experiment we are working on...the Emperor's plans... Don't they bother you at all? Ahh... Humph. You, of all people, should know better.

I'm not like you, or my father. Thanks to your experiments, I now wield a power no mundane human could ever hope for.

Besides, you started all this in the first place. Now is not the time for regrets.

You will continue the experiment. I will see to that, I assure you. I, myself, can hardly wait...

What this project will show us...where it will lead us...

There's so much to look forward to! Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! ... E00056E4 Moving Islands:09 What is that? Hm? It's...it's!! E00056EB The Siege of Cor Hydrae:10 Glamyss No! It's not working!! Not so fast, people! Corellia ...!! What is that? Ladekahn It is coming from Alfard! The power of its End Magnus! Calbren But who is it? With Geldoblame dead, who would be able to invoke Alfard's power? They got through!! Rodolfo We did it! We're counting on you, Kalas, all of us... We'll join you shortly! Please be careful!

I'm just Xelha... Last of the Ice Queens... What do you mean, "Last"? That day, when I first saw you in this forest...

It seems like such a long time ago... ... ...Did you know that Moonguile Forest had another name? At first it was called the Moonglade Forest...

But, as time passed by, people started using the wrong name...Eventually, the wrong name stuck. Maybe we do that too, sometimes. We leave things lying around,

things that should have been important to us.

We leave them somewhere, and just forget about them.

Thus we deceive others...And eventually, even ourselves... A thousand years ago, five continents rose to the Sky, leaving the Land which was damaged by war with the gods...

The Ice Lands also escaped into the Sky, with help from the Great Whale...

Wizards gave us the Ocean Mirror, but there was something else, as well... Kalas... The Ocean is here...inside me... I am the Ocean... ...?! The Ice Queens of Wazn have done this for generations...

The Queen protects the Ocean, and passes it on to the next Queen...Until the final moment... It can't be...Th-that's impossible! At first, I thought you were sent by the Empire, to hunt me down.

But we were attacked by Giacomo's men, and I realized you weren't...

I didn't know which side you were on, but I knew you were enthralled by some fearsome power... I wanted to stay and watch over you...

I wanted to save you. I would have done anything I could.

You were like me...We were two of a kind...You were different...

Different from the others...I could see your soul glowing with a mysterious light. When I was bonded with , something told me, in the back of my mind,

that in this era, those that can be bonded with a Guardian Spirit are much different from the others,

and have lives fraught with sadness... ...Why, Xelha? Why didn't you tell me? I couldn't tell you until now! That was part of my oath! Not until the time comes!

What was I supposed to say to you?!

The long lost Ocean is inside me? Why don't you come with me and we'll find ourselves an exciting adventure? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that... I'm sorry, too... Now that the End Magnus have been released, and the Earth has returned to us,

I must fulfill my final duty as Ice Queen of Wazn... Kalas, I want you to do it... To release the Ocean...from inside me... If I do that, Xelha... What will happen to you? No! I can't! I won't do it!! I'm sorry...for asking you to do this...

But I can't do it on my own...

We have both been bonded with the same Guardian Spirit... Our hearts can become one...

The three of us should be able to release the Ocean inside me... Now that the Earth has been restored...Everyone is waiting for the Ocean to return...

Please...Kalas...... I'll...I'll do it... No, I won't do it! Thank you for saying so... It's so kind of you, .

But there is no other choice...

I am the Ice Queen of Wazn... I must face my destiny. Thank you... I knew you would... Okay...All right! I'll do it! I'll do it! Just promise me this... Don't leave us, Xelha... Don't leave me. Cast light upon the darkened earth. Save those lost in despair... O Mighty Ocean, guide us as we journey through... The darkest pit of night... May Time, ever fleeting, forgive us... May Time, ever fleeting, forgive us... We who have forsaken our song, and buried our future... Fare thee well, my children... Rest, in my heart... Forever... Thank you, Kalas... Thank you, ... Noooooo! Not so faaast kiddies! What do you think you're doooing?!

This world is miiine!!! Barnette Queen Xelha...

You will both be remembered in legends yet to come... No...I don't want to be...

remembered that way... Kalas... The dream I saw two years ago...

It wasn't about the end of the world...

It was about...you... It was you, in the heart of a dark forest...Holding someone tight...Crying...

It was you, Kalas...

I just...wanted to be with you...

When the Ocean was released, I was fading away...They found me, and put me together again. Yeah...Yeah... ...Kalas, it's okay.

I'm not going anywhere. Yeah...I know. I'm glad I made it back in time!

I really wanted to thank you, and say goodbye, . Thanks to you, the Earth and the Ocean have returned.

We'll always be close.

Thank you, ,

and goodbye. I'll never forget you...Ever! Well, so long, ! Take care.

Drop by anytime! I'll take ya out fishing sometime! Thank you for everything.

We have lost a great deal...But you taught us to believe in ourselves.

You gave us the courage to go on.

Farewell, . Mizuti The Great Mizuti be visiting your world someday, .

We be having extraordinary adventure, the Great Mizuti and you!

For those who make a living flying the skies like myself, it's known as the pit of hell, my friends. It certainly looks ominous. Ah...Anuenue has come into view. Teacher Let's start with the Taintclouds. Poisonous clouds down below that make up the bottom of the sky.

No creature can survive in those clouds, which is one reason they are often said to be the boundary between this life and the next. I can feel the poison! The White Dragon won't get any closer. Great Mizuti This be close enough.

Everyone be ready? Ready to jump? Jump? Whoa...wait a minute!

You mean you want us to jump into that mess? Just like that? Correct. Correct?! ... Ugh...just looking at it is making me queasy. I'm starting to have second thoughts about this... ...It's too late now. Let's just trust the Great Mizuti, and go for it! No worries, all of you! Just jump in and follow the Great Mizuti.

All of the five End Magnus must have been released. Corellia What has become of dear Kalas and his friends? E0005777 Campfire:30 Hm...It's so strange.

Being near Azha, the village where this whole mess started...

Being with the villagers...

even being allied with them...

I never saw this day coming. I'd say life goes that way for everyone. More or less.

Not knowing what lies ahead is half the fun, right? Maybe so.

Two years ago, after Operation Sweep...

I took part in another mission. Our target was in Mira. His name was Georg.

But all I could do was stand and watch as Giacomo and the others tore his place up. I just watched and waited outside.

When it comes to fighting, I have no trouble getting the job done, without any fear or remorse. That part of me will never change.

But from that point on, I knew I could never harm the innocent, the defenseless.

When I realized that, I turned my back on everything I had, and ran...

Kalas... I was there that night, as an Imperial soldier.

I was one of those who killed your family.

When this battle is over... There's no need to hesitate. Do what you need to do to avenge them. ... The only thing I was taught as a child was how to fight, how to kill.

I've known Azdar since way back in those days.

Some called me a killing machine... which was exactly what I was.

I only knew how to kill... Nothing else.

So that night, when part of me refused to fight,

I had no idea what to do...

All I could do was to drop everything and run away, to run as fast as I could...

I already told you about what happened later, back in Anuenue.

I moved from place to place, and met one of the witches from Wazn.

She told me where to find a cause, something righteous to fight for...

So I waited there, in Anuenue, for my battle to begin... The waiting itself wasn't so bad. Savyna... You weren't just waiting for a cause, were you?

You were waiting for somewhere to die, something to die for...

Weren't you? Hmm... ...Could be. Well, never mind. It's just that I've never seen you so talkative. Yeah...you're right. I just felt like opening up, I guess.

I just needed someone to listen. ... Everyone has nights like that... E000577E Going Far Away 2:31 E0005785 Princess' Room(Night time:32 Melodia ...Who is it? -- Alfard Empire -- E000578C Sub World We shouldn't go back to Mintaka now. You know there's a ton of Imperial Soldiers looking for us. Yes, our main priority for now is to stop Geldoblame in the Lava Caves. Let's go to Azha first. Do you want to save your progress? Yes No -- Capital City Mintaka -- E0005793 Shop:00 Conversation with a store clerk in Mintaka E000579A Outside 1:01 You, you people are foreigners, aren't you? If you came here to trade, we don't need you. Out, out! Ha ha ha, that's right. Foreign merchandise can't compare to that of the Empire! You, you people are foreigners, aren't you? You look suspicious walking around at a time like this. Get over here. Leave that country bumpkin alone and come finish your job, or the lady will be displeased with you. ...Yeah, you're right. This bloke can't be the one our lady was talking about. You're in the way! Move it!! I feel sorry for the soldiers working in other nations. It must be horrible being sent to such barbaric places.

Hmm? You look like you're from one of those barbaric places.

Let me see those...what are they called again? Wings of the Heart? Yeah, those barbaric, primitive wings!

Ha ha ha! Our machines are awfully convenient! All thanks to the Emperor!

Even old men like me can get around quickly. We don't need wings anymore. Look, isn't this nice? I don't need wings when I've got machines to work for me. So people on the outside are still getting around with Wings of the Heart as always, are they?

If you use winglets and pods, you won't have to waste valuable energy. That's called progress. That's called civilization.

Anyway, you blokes are out of your league. Now, move. I'm in a hurry. I heard Lady Melodia is here. Did you know that? Of course I know. That's why I've been waiting here.

If I wait on this road, she'll definitely pass by eventually. You're such a lunkhead! Are you really a citizen of the Empire?

You're waiting for someone when you don't even know if or when she's going to pass by. What are you thinking? I'm thinking that she usually stays here for around three to four hours. You know the rest... What "rest"? I don't know what you're talking about. This fellow is so stupid. I wonder if he's really a citizen of our prosperous Empire.

He's waiting for someone when he doesn't know if or when she'll pass by. Was he absent the day they passed out logic? I've been waiting for so long, and yet Lady Melodia never comes by... You're such a lunkhead! Have you been waiting here all this time?

I heard Lady Melodia is in the Imperial Fortress. Such a waste of time and effort, wasn't it? ... The village down south is called Azha. Don't confuse the people there with us, the Imperial citizens.

Azha is where the rejects live.

It's a filthy village, full of coal miners. They're very different from our people in the Imperial City. I heard that the Emperor died. Misfortune must have befallen him because he went to Azha. Rumor has it that because he went to that filthy village, he got sick and he just... What are you staring at? I like doing push-ups slowly, okay?

It's not because I can't keep up with them or anything. Don't get me wrong. Twenty-five thousand one hundred and ninety-six.

Twenty-five thousand one hundred and ninety-seven. Don't talk to me, I'm gonna to lose count!! I wanna be great like Commander Giacomo. To do that I have to study hard.

To make oneself useful to Emperor Geldoblame is every citizen's duty. I wanna be great like Commander Fadroh!! To do so, I have to work out now.

They told me to make myself useful to the deceased Emperor's friend, Lady Melodia,

because that's the highest tribute I can pay to him. There's a poster with the Imperial flag drawn on it. It looks like someone has tried to wipe off the graffiti. E00057A1 Outside 1(After Twisted):01A No! It's too dangerous for us to go back to 's house now. Hey , there's no point in leaving town.

The Imperials will chase us wherever we go as long as we're in this nation.

Let's head to the port and use the ship there! Going into this building is pretty much like turning ourselves in. Th-thank you. I'll be okay. Please help the other citizens! I've been thinking about it for awhile, and came to the conclusion that I should just be myself.

I try to do what I can, as best as I can. That's what growing up is all about.

Spending your life trying to be like someone else isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I owe everything to you. Thank you very much. Now that I think about it, I wonder why we put so much effort into trying to please the Emperor. Y-you saved me. Thank you. I'll be okay. Once I've calmed myself down a bit, I'll go hide somewhere safe until things quiet down. The Empire is finished...

But the birth of a new nation will take place today! Let's join together and build a great, benevolent nation! First, we must rebuild the city. It's going to take some hard work!! He he he, look at me... Look at what a disgrace I am...

Sorry for all the bad things I said about you...What a mess this nation is in...What a mess I am... Could you...help our citizens? Please... I felt so ashamed of myself when I saw you fighting for someone you don't even know.

I'm turning over a new leaf and will do my best for this nation, and for its people. Extraordinary things are happening all over the world. I have to do what I can to help. There's a poster with the Imperial flag drawn on it. It looks like someone has tried to wipe off the graffiti. E00057A8 Outside 2:02 Please enter by all means. This is my...or was my home. Have you ever heard of Operation Sweep?

I heard the Emperor had an accident. Did you know that? Yeah. Nope. Yes. I'm afraid not. Yeah, I heard about that. Yes, I heard about that. I see... Umm, never mind if you already know about it. Nope, don't know anything about that. I'm afraid I don't know anything about that. I see... Umm, don't worry about it then. You don't need to know. I'll let you have it after I ride a little more. Just a little more, hehehe. Just a little more, if I ride a little more, I'll let you ride it. Just gimme a second, hehehe. Waaa!! You've been riding it the whole time!!! Let me ride it now!!! Waaaaa!! You told me you'd let me ride it!! You're just a big liar!!! Something big is going to happen soon. I can feel it. No doubt.

Can't you feel it? The uneasy atmosphere in town? I bet the Emperor is about to do something.

That's why I'm trying to fix up the machines before it's too late. So they may prove useful when the time comes. Soon...very soon...something huge is going to happen. I just know it.

Can't you feel it? The uneasy atmosphere in town? I bet something big is going to happen now that the Emperor has passed away.

That's why I'm trying to fix up the machines before it's too late. So they may prove useful when the time comes. I'll sell these for a high price and make big bucks. Ain't I a smart guy? Greythorne Squeak squeak. Meemai Squeak squeak! Squeak. ... ? Why exactly were you transferred to Diadem anyway? Didn't you just hear the soldiers?

There's a small village called Azha just south of Mintaka.

The unit I used to belong to was ordered to raid that village.

I objected to the order, and confronted my commander.

I refused to take part in that mission, and was supposed to be court martialed because of it.

But because of my family, which has served the Emperor for generations, they demoted me instead. Hence my transfer to Diadem.

My brother and sister were high-rank officers as well. Operation Sweep in Azha... Okay. That's enough chit-chat about the past for today. Time to move.

No time for tiddly winks if we wanna save the world before supper. E00057AF Outside 2(After Twisted):02A Thank you... I'm okay. I'll be all right. Please go help the others. Thank you for saving me the other day. I'm still alive thanks to you. He's been stabbed in the stomach. He's not breathing anymore. Monsters were all over the place and...are they still here?

I'm not only talking about this city. The same goes for everywhere else.

The world is...slowly but surely changing... That reminds me...how are the people in Azha doing?

If they stay in Azha, there's no way they can survive. I'm so stupid... What was I thinking selling my own pod?

Even though I've got money now, it's pointless if I'm not going to live to enjoy it. How miserable... Money's nothing more than a bunch of paper...

This is my punishment for trying to get rich quick.

At least I still have my life. Gotta go work!! Money? I used it all up to help light the bonfire. I mean, what good is it now?

That was a damn expensive bonfire!!! Ha ha ha. Shaking him or calling to him won't do any good. He's already gone. We've gotta hurry up and fix it before sundown.

We've been so dependent on machines that no one knows how to make a fire anymore. After we're done here, we must head to the next place.

I've never been this busy in my entire life! Greythorne Squeak squeak. Meemai Squeak squeak! Squeak. E00057B6 Outside (Port):03 Should we board the Mindeer, ? Let's get on. No, we don't need to. Look at this drive engine. It's been assembled by the Empire, the most technologically advanced nation in the world.

Rumor has it that the development division is making a secret weapon.

I heard that its power is so strong that it's equal to that of the legendary gods from ancient times.

Technology that can match the gods...this is the fearsome power of the Empire. I heard the Emperor passed away during the testing of the new weapon.

Since development was driven by the Emperor's enthusiasm, his death will bring a halt to the research.

Hmm...This is the last of the Empire's brilliant machinery... Such a shame... That man who's escorting Lady Melodia is my Fadroh. Ohh, he's sooo handsome!

He gives me goosebumps all over! Giacomo's brute strength is sexy too, but Fadroh has a tenderness that drives me wild! I heard that the Emperor has passed away...

He didn't have any children, so I wonder who's going to lead this nation...

I'd be soooo happy if my Fadroh became successor to the Emperor. He's just so handsome. I don't like that Melodia. Every time she comes to Mintaka, it's always my Fadroh that has to escort her.

How irritating! I heard that when the Emperor passed away, my Fadroh was there with him.

And...that Melodia was there also...

Those two...do you think they're an item? Rrrrrr! That makes me so mad!! There will come a time when foolish people will have to bow down to our great Imperial flag.

This should not be considered agression, but a calling, rather, bestowed upon the citizens of the Empire. This is the Imperial capital, Mintaka. Along with the fortress in the west, it's the heart of Alfard.

This golden city is probably too highly advanced for the likes of you to comprehend. Don't stay long! The Emperor has just passed away. You better not wander around here too much. I can just see it. The future of our great Empire will flourish under the leadership of Emperor Geldoblame...

The ultimate utopia will be created through his glorious vision. The future of our great Empire...

The ultimate utopia...

Now that our Emperor has passed away, the grand vision I foresaw is dead as well. Huh? Didn't you people just come out of this ship? Nah...couldn't have been...

This ship is something that the likes of you would never be able to set foot in! The Emperor has just passed away! This is no time to dawdle around outside! ...Get lost. I don't wanna talk with barbarians. ...Beat it. You may find yourself dead if you keep bugging me. Man with a Bracelet Huh? I haven't seen people wearing clothes like that in this city before. You been traveling around the islands?

What a life. I'm a migrant worker from the Sadal Suud Frontier.

Have you ever been to Cebalrai? My wife is still there... Oh, I'm sorry to bore you like this. This town has too many people and too many machines. The air is dirty and everything's a mess. I'm getting really sick of this place.

I'll bet that sounds weird coming from a mechanic. Why do I work here in Mintaka? Of course the difference in income.

I think I'll work for a few more years, then return home to a slow-paced life in Cebalrai. Do I know Quzman? The one from Pherkad? He's my father...what about him?

No! In critical condition? Only a few days left to live? Are you sure? Oh, Lord! I have to hurry back.

Huh? I can't go back unless I give you my signature? All right. Qasim After I'm done with today's work, I'll go straight home. Thanks for letting me know. Has my wife in Cebalrai gone back, too? I'm really concerned. Greythorne Squeak... Meemai Squeak. The setting sun is turning the entire sky orange. This is the only place in this mechanized city where you can find peace of mind. Secret Recipe 6 E00057BD Harbor(After Twisted):03A Shall we get on the White Dragon, ? Yes, let's. No, not yet. Man with a Bracelet Oh no, h-help!

Y-you scared me... You're...just a human being. I've never seen people dressed like you in this city.

I'm not sure, but it seems like something terrible is going on. I just wanna go home to Cebalrai. Whoa...it's you again! I told you not to scare me! I mistook you for someone else!

I shouldn't have left Cebalrai to work here. I don't know if I can make it back alive. Do I know Quzman? The one from Pherkad? He's my father...what about him?

No! In critical condition? Only a few days left to live? Are you sure? Oh, Lord! I have to hurry back.

Huh? I can't go back unless I give you my signature? Sure! I'll write it right now! Qasim You see strange people wandering around all over the place, right? I think it's kinda dangerous to leave the city right now.

I'll wait for the right time and get out of Mintaka. Thank you for letting me know. I'll go home soon! I'll stand out like a sore thumb if you're with me, so please stay away. I'll be fine!! If it looks safe, I'll go back to Pherkad right away!! Huh? I haven't seen people wearing clothes like that in this city before. You been traveling around the islands?

What a life. I'm a migrant worker from the Sadal Suud Frontier.

Have you ever been to Cebalrai? My wife is still there... Oh, I'm sorry to bore you like this. This town has too many people and too many machines. The air is dirty and everything's a mess. I'm getting really sick of this place.

Huh? I can't go back unless I give you my signature? All right. After I'm done with today's work, I'll go straight home. Thanks for letting me know. Has my wife in Cebalrai gone back, too? I'm really concerned. He has a large wound running from his shoulder down to his hip. No matter how you shake him or call to him, there's no response. Now that we've lost our leader, how are we supposed to keep living?

We can't depend on support from the other nations forever, you know...

Even when this battle is over, I'm sure a lot of hardships await us.

Maybe the dead are better off. He's slumped over with a bloody neck and no pulse. I...I'm alive... I'm sorry, but I can't stand up.

I'll be okay. Please help the others. What in the world happened to the Empire? There might still be monsters in the city!

This place is probably not safe. I should hide somewhere and wait... Please help the girl...over there... This person is only unconscious. It's not serious. It's not as bad as before, but it's still dangerous...

We can't leave the city yet. Our rations are running low...

Everyone's sticking it out, but we can only last so long... Even soldiers with weapons can't beat them! What are we supposed to do?! What should we do?

Is this how it's always gonna be? Living in fear like this? Ugh. Perhaps this is our due punishment for all the bad things we've done... Greythorne Squeak... Meemai Squeak. The setting sun is turning the entire sky orange. This is the only place in this mechanized city where you can find peace of mind. Secret Recipe 6 E00057C4 Soldiers' Break Room:04 Imperial Soldier Hey, did you hear the news? Seems there was quite a ruckus in Diadem.

I heard a lot of people got hurt pretty bad. Yeah, the Royal Knights were supposedly preparing for battle with the Empire in secret.

Remember that young punk who caused a lot of trouble and was exiled to Diadem?

Seems he's turned his back on the Empire and works with the enemy now. You mean that idiot caught up in the Azha incident a couple of years ago? The one who turned on his superior officer?

Oh man! What got into him?

It's just unbelievable. How could he betray his own country and side with the barbarians? Some people just don't have what it takes to keep up with the Empire. Either that, or just a bad apple. Plain and simple.

That's why they exiled him. Cloud Castle Elnath fell too easily. And people call Ladekahn a wise ruler... Whatever! Obviously he wasn't much of a ruler at all.

If they had just followed orders, they wouldn't have had to suffer so much. I...I made it? The others...ohh... They're all dead...

I'll be okay on my own. Others may still be alive. Please find them. Everyone's gone!! I'm the only one left.

...But that doesn't mean I'm slacking off... This atmosphere lately...reminds me of Operation Sweep in Azha. It was so hot. But I'll never work with the Mad Wolf Unit again, that's for sure. They're literally like mad wolves. The Mad Wolf Unit...a special forces unit made up of the Empire's finest soldiers. You've gotta be quite a soldier to be part of that team. Then there was that one soldier, remember? Wasn't there someone called Lady Death? She was a cold-blooded killing machine.

When I saw her for the first time, I thanked God from the bottom of my heart that she was on our side. You know about that incident in Azha? The Emperor was supposedly killed in that accident, but between you and me...I think he was murdered. Hey, don't say stuff like that around here. I don't wanna get involved. He has a critical sword wound. He's no longer breathing. He was stabbed in the stomach. He's no longer breathing. The Empire is unifying the world. This is something we should all rejoice in.

Under the rule of the Empire, other people will finally recognize their existence is futile. The Emperor has passed away, but the spirit of the Empire will live on.

We'll do as much as it takes to fulfill the Emperor's vision to unify the world. He has a neck wound. He's already dead. The development of the secret weapon is almost complete. Power rivaling the gods...hahaha! All hail the mighty Emperor! I heard they tested the secret weapon in the Lava Caves of Azha.

But then it went haywire and pulled in the Emperor. That's what I heard! Such a shame, we had such high hopes... I was too scared to go outside and fight, so I let my fellow comrades die instead... I'm such a coward. Scale Mail Coffin Shield There's something in one of the pots lying on the floor. Ara Empty pots are on the floor. E00057CB Lyude's House:05 Intermezzo Very tidy indeed. Not a useless item in sight.

You see something in the back. Rice Paper Very tidy indeed. Not a useless item in sight. Looks like the owner of the house is very methodical. You open the metal door to find female military uniforms lined up in perfect order. Blue flowers are displayed nicely. It's rare to see flowers in Mintaka. Pretty Flowers Flames are swaying calmly in a gorgeous fireplace. Flowers are planted in a shallow dish. They're almost withered from lack of sunlight. Flowers planted in this shallow dish have withered. It's a ceramic pot, one of Azha's special products. There's nothing in it. My family has belonged to the Imperial army for generations.

But I caused a lot of problems. My brother and sister may never forgive me... What about your parents? They died when I was very young.

My mother died just after I was born, and my father died in action. I'm sorry to hear that... Don't be. I was raised by a wonderful foster nurse named Almarde. She was always so kind to me. ? Oh, it's my boy!! Welcome home, Lyude! Hi, Almarde. Long time no... Never thought I'd see you back here. Brother...sister... ...!! Skeed Come over here. This is your chance to rejoin the Empire. Just hand them over to us, and you're back in. Vallye What are you waiting for? Come to us, Lyude! You know what to do! Lyude? You set us up, didn't you?! How can you point a gun at your own brother?! Brother!

We only stopped by to get some details about the Emperor, what he's been up to.

Please. Let us go! No. If I let you go, our family is finished! Have you lost your mind, ?! ... If we just up and let you go, Vallye and I will be executed for treason.

If you insist on going with them, you'll have to get through us first. No...I can't do it...I can't shoot my brother and sister. You maggot! You haven't changed a bit!

It must be the stone carver's blood in your veins. ...!! You've disgraced our family name beyond redemption.

How could you be such a coward?! It's time to erase the stigma. Good-bye Lyude! No! You! Almarde Next time, I won't miss! I'm serious. Almarde?! Emperor Geldoblame is aboard the Battleship Goldoba hovering in the sky above Mintaka at this very moment.

Go, my dear child. But you... Don't worry about me... Hurry! Noooo!! Damn...They're gonna mow us down, house and all! P...please...go... I won't leave you here! Don't be foolish. There are things you must do... Since you refused to attack my village, Azha...for me...this whole mess... No, Almarde. It's not your fault. Don't talk like that! Go now...hurry...

Lyude...my darling boy... Almarde... Almarde!! , we have to go. ...

They have the entrance to the house covered. We have to sneak out through the back. E00057D2 House 1:06 Scalla Hi !! What happened? Did you get some days off? Are you gonna stay awhile?

Umm, yes... Something like that. Wow! That's great! There's something I want to tell you, .

Umm...

Everyone's been ignoring me lately. They asked me if I'm really from the Empire.

I told them they were all acting weird.

They despise foreigners and think of themselves as the greatest... Is it me? Am I acting weird? Panaway, too! He used to be such a nice person. But, he's changed completely...

Something's just not right... Someone told me that, a long time ago, many people were killed in Azha.

Even though they worked so hard for us, they were killed.

I...when I heard it...I couldn't stop crying...

I wondered...if it's really okay...for me to live in a peaceful place like this without any worries...

When I get older, I was thinking of working for this nation.

I wanna make this place a peaceful nation free from conflicts of any kind... My reason for living is to help others.

I think I was born here just to serve the people of Azha. Is everyone okay? Panaway's back to his old self again. He's nice again, just like old times.

I bet it's because you and your friends came here. Thank you. Scalla's Mother I have to be careful how I say this, but this nation seems to be possessed by something sinister.

Please be careful, especially since you're outsiders.

Under the Emperor's leadership, especially recently, people aren't acting like themselves. Since the Emperor passed away, the Duchess of Mira has been leading this nation.

But...I haven't heard good things about her. I heard the Emperor was killed in that accident. I also heard the Duchess was there with him...

I probably should keep my mouth shut. We couldn't escape in time, and now monsters are everywhere. We'll just have to hide here for awhile. It's going to be an uphill struggle. If everyone works together, we can restore this city. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeak. The comforting sound of crackling firewood can be heard from the fireplace. Two building blocks are displayed on the shelf. They say "Happy Birthday." A diary is on the desk. The name "Scalla" is on the cover.

After opening the diary, you can see some pages have been torn out. Don't look!! She wanted to write about the people of Azha in her diary.

But she couldn't write so well, so she tore out the pages that she felt were written poorly. I wanted a well-written diary, so I decided to give it a lot of thought before I began to write. A diary is on the desk. The name "Scalla" is on the cover.

Why do conflicts occur? Why do people have to die?

The longing for peace and similar things are written in the diary. The pot on the floor is empty. E00057D9 House 2:07 ...

Come on, we need you. Man Perhaps outsiders like yourselves don't know that there was once a genius of a doctor living here. I'm not exaggerating when I say that our present Imperial city exists because of that genius.

That's how great he was. But don't talk about him in public too much. Word on the street is that a lot of people have disappeared in the Azha Lava Caves.

I heard the Emperor died in Azha... Maybe there's something about those caves... ...

The monsters...are they gone? Me? I'm okay, I was only pretending to be dead.

Don't worry, I'm just fine. Really! ... I wonder how the people of Azha are doing...

Rumor has it they evacuated to Nihal Desert...Will they be okay in a place like that? Flames are burning vigorously. There's a dismantled machine. Looks like someone opened it up and couldn't put it back together. There's a cupboard underneath the sunlit window. You open it and find something inside.

Sleet Shawl E00057E0 House 3:08 Panaway's Father You can't just barge in here without permission. Get out now. ...What has happened? Why is this happening to the Empire?

Why do we, noble citizens of the Empire, have to go through such horror? Were we wrong? I don't remember anymore...where my loyalty to the Emperor came from... Panaway's Mother My son was accepted into the Imperial Army. He's quite exceptional compared to other kids his age.

Now my husband and I have proven our loyalty to the Emperor. I-it's okay. If we just hide in our house, we should be fine. The soldiers will take care of things. Seems like the disturbance has been settled...But the Empire is finished. Panaway You people. You're still wandering around here?

I won't say anything. Just hurry back to your own nation, and wait for our guidance. If you have that much free time and enough strength to walk around, why don't you go to the Lava Caves?

If you go help those people mine iron ore, even the likes of you can be useful to this nation. This is... This is not happening!!!

Being chosen by the Emperor, being born in this nation, and now... I'm dying... What should I do... I heard that someone from the outside settled the disturbance in the Imperial City.

Maybe one's birthplace has no bearing on whether one is great or not... Flames are fiercely eating away at the firewood. There's a box with a ribbon on it. It looks like a present from some celebration. The drawer is slightly open. It's filled with toys. Bright light is coming in from the window. E00057E7 House 4:09 Fluffpup Bow-wow! Ruff! Ruff! Bow-wow bow-wow! Yip yip! Yip! Yip yip! Living calmly everyday like this, without worrying about getting old, wouldn't be possible without the Emperor. We owe him our thanks.

May peace prevail throughout the world, via the Empire's rule... Oh, there's one thing that I'm worried about. It's about the Fluffpup that runs around in the house.

We got it instead of having a child, but it had four baby Fluffpups and they really keep us on our toes.

They're too much to handle for an old couple like us. So I was wondering if someone could take care of one for us. We got it instead of having a kid, but it had four baby Fluffpups and they really keep us on our toes.

They're too much to handle for an old couple like us. So I was wondering if someone could take care of one for us. What happened to the peace we had up until a while ago? There are monsters wandering around.

Three of the baby Fluffpups wandered off in the confusion. What should we do?

Would you be so kind as to take care of the last baby Fluffpup for us? Should we, ? Yup Nope Sure I'm sorry, but I can't Sure, I'll take it. This one, right? Sure, I'd love to. This one, isn't it? Thank you. He's like my baby. Please take good care of him. Thank you for taking him. Please take good care of him. What happened to the peace we had up until recently? There are monsters wandering around our streets.

Three of our baby Fluffpups wandered off in the confusion. What should we do? The Emperor seems to be planning something in secret, using an assassination squad that works under his direct orders.

The leader of the squad is a cold-hearted, dreadful man who is dedicated to the Empire. I think his name is Giacomo.

The other two are so wild that no other squads will accept them.

Their group is truly terrifying, but it gives me comfort to know they're on my side.

I guess that's why they work directly under the control of the Emperor. Well, whatever the Emperor does, it must be for the benefit of his people in Mintaka.

Thanks to the Emperor, we can play with these Fluffpups. The leader of the assassination squad is a cold-hearted, dreadful man who is dedicated to the Empire. I think his name is Giacomo.

The other two are so wild that no other squads will accept them.

That terrifying group is still no match for the monsters. What a horrible world we live in. What is the Emperor doing?! Our glorious city has been overrun by monsters. I can't even leave my own house!

It's only a matter of time 'till this place is attacked, I just know it. Trapped inside here, I feel more dead than alive! They say that the monsters are gone, but I can't even go take a walk without being paranoid. What is the Emperor doing!

What? He's dead?! That can't be. The Empire is still functioning properly as a thriving city should.

You can't trick old people that easily. Viking Helmet A weight stone. Something appears to be crushed underneath it. Pickled Eggplants A weight stone for pickles is inside the pot.

There's a small village on the way. Why don't we head there first? ...Azha? ...That's right. Azha...Is that the same Azha famous for its iron mines? That's correct. All right. Let's get going. But . Before we go... Huh? What is it, ? I want to ask you something...

Is your grandfather really named Georg?

And that Winglet of yours, didn't you say he made that? Yes and yes...why? Georg is the name of the doctor you heard about in Mintaka. The genius who went crazy and died in a laboratory explosion...

over a decade ago. What?! Is that...for real?? Yes. I'm sure of it.

Giacomo also said that his father...Dr. Georg had designed the Battleship Goldoba in his last days. I just don't know...

I don't know if that famed Imperial engineer is Gramps.

I don't believe Giacomo, either. What he said about Gramps being his dad... You said the doctor from Mintaka has been dead for over a decade, right? Yes. That's what they say... Gramps died two years ago.

He was attacked by Giacomo's men in Mira... Well, sittin' around talking isn't doing us any good right now.

Why don't we move on?

Hey, ! Don't think you can get all comfy now that Giacomo's out of the picture.

But if you do something nice for the village kids, then it might be a different story. I might even offer you something in return.

For now though, why don't you go take a hike? You're disrupting my business. So you do have a heart, after all. I saw you giving Magnus to the kids.

Hmm...but even the Imperial soldiers offer charity to the kids. Sorry, but I still can't trust you.

Why don't you just move along? You're disrupting my business. So, I guess you really are concerned for the kids.

Keep up your charitable spirit! Even a little help will improve the kids' lives. I'm sorry. I seemed to have misjudged you.

Here, take this Magnus. It's one of the most precious items in my stock.

You've been good to the kids. Make good use of it. Mephistopheles Cloak Thanks a lot... You've shown me what goodwill is all about. I'm truly moved. You're one in a million! I've never been moved so much!

Your big heart and great generosity are unmatched.

This is for you. Don't say anything, just take it. Secret Recipe 7 I'm out of precious items to offer you.

It's my turn to follow your example and do something for these kids! Take a look at our laundry. We hang it outside knowing full well the sandstorm will soil it in no time.

Travelers just passing through like yourselves don't have any idea how hard it is to live here. Why are you here? There's nothing more for you to take from us.

You've cut us down to our bare bones already. Gimme something! Pleeaase?! I can't take something so precious... Eeek! Put that scary thing away!!! No... I shouldn't give this to them. This is too important. You're stingy! Give me a Magnus. Pleeease?! Eww. It's a fish bone.

It looks...a little scary... It's not cute at all. I don't want that. I'm starving. This isn't gonna fill us up. I want a real fish with meat on it. Imperial Soldier I didn't expect the Emperor to come in person to a miserable cave like this.

What could his reasons be? My guess is that this cave is filled with precious treasure. Much too valuable to trust others to bring back...

You know the Emperor. Not only is he mistrustful of common soldiers like us, he doesn't even fully trust his closest aides. Shut your trap! Remember the Emperor's orders. Our job is to stand watch here. It doesn't look like they'll let us pass.

Umm...shall we try a little aggressive negotiation? W-wait! If we do that, there's no telling what they would do to the people here.

We shouldn't risk the lives of the Azhani people. We need to take heavy precautions.

I'm well aware of the fact we must hurry, but we may have to find some other means. ...I can really have it?

Hee hee. Thank you! ...I can really have it?

Ha ha ha... Thank you! ...I can really have it?

Hee hee hee. Thank you! The damp laundry has already been covered in filth by the sandstorm. What a dreary village... It used to be more lively. Really? So what happened? You heard about it in Mintaka, right? About Operation Sweep... Azha used to be well known for its mining of iron ore. They would mine from Lava Caves and sell their goods to the capital.

But about a year ago, the villagers reduced their shipments to the Empire a great deal. The reason being simple fatigue from working day after day in such harsh conditions.

Before that, the people of Azha filed countless claims about the terrible working conditions, but the Empire completely ignored them.

Enraged at the villagers' defiance, the Emperor ordered his army to execute all dissidents as a warning.

Kill the troublemakers to spark up a little motivation, was the order, if I recall... I objected to the mission...

But the mission, known as Operation Sweep, was carried out as planned.

Now this village is...well, just look around. I led the operation myself. We wiped out all those in rebellion against the Empire. What?! That means... Savyna! You were head of the Mad Wolf Unit?! I heard Lady Death has been hiding out in Anuenue. You mean, the one they used to call "killing machine"? Yeah. You heard about it, too, right? The Emperor and his troops supposedly went to Anuenue to carry out part of some secret plan.

Some of the troops apparently saw Lady Death out there. Are you serious? It's been over two years since she disappeared.

That must've been someone else. L...look over there! Huh? What is it? Wha...It can't be! Let's get outta here! What was that all about? We'd better hurry. "Lady Death" of the Mad Wolf Unit...Is that who you are? What's that?

, were you really a member of something called the "Mad Wolf Unit"? ... Hey, hold up a minute.

, you told us you were not an Imperial soldier back in Anuenue. Because I no longer am... ...that's all in the past. What? ...But why didn't you tell us? It's not something I'm proud of. ... Great Huh? What be wrong?

Quarreling over a secret from the past? Great ... Now's not the time for this . Ask to hear more of 's story. I don't think now is the right time . Ask to hear more of 's story. But, ... Kalas, is right.

Let's not talk about it anymore.

We should just focus on getting to the Lava Caves.

Geldoblame could be unsealing the last End Magnus as we speak. All right, , . Let's move on. Yeah. I will.

, what became of you after you raided this village? Hold on , .

Let's not talk about it anymore.

We should just focus on getting to the Lava Caves.

Geldoblame could be unsealing the last End Magnus as we speak. All right, . Let's move on. But , I never even suspected that you were "Lady Death."

It's hard for me to talk since I don't know your whole story, but that mission was just... That's enough, .

Everyone's done something they're not proud of. No use digging it up now.

People have gotta take responsibility for what they've done.

If Savyna has something she's gotta make right, let her do it her own way. I see what you're saying, but... ... Very well... The Lava Caves are through the village towards the back. Let's go! H...Hey! What's gotten into you, Savyna? I, I can't let you...pass... Stand aside.

Thank you so much, young man.

Here is a token of my thanks. I hope it will help you. Others in the village have already evacuated to the desert.

They sought shelter from the strange monsters that we've been seeing recently.

Why am I still here? I don't have a choice...My bad back forced me to stay behind.

*sigh*...I wish I had a Hot Rock. I know my back would feel much better if I had one to use...

What am I saying? A Hot Rock is cooled lava from the Lava Caves. That can't be easy to obtain... Oh my...is that... You've brought me a Hot Rock!

Thank you. Thank you so much. I can follow the others now.

What can I...how can I repay you for this...

I know. Let me show you something. This Magnus I'm holding used to belong to my husband.

I think you will find it to be useful.

Please, take it. My back is feeling better, thanks to the Hot Rock you gave me. Thank you so much, young man. Thank you. Thank you very much. I can follow the others now. Do you see the girl over there? Poor child. Her parents were killed by Imperial soldiers.

...Do you know about the Azha Massacre? The girl's parents died in it. No trial, just immediate execution.

The poor girl hasn't been the same since. She's shut people out and won't speak to anyone. The girl sitting in the corner? Poor child. Her parents were killed by Imperial soldiers.

...Do you know about the Azha Massacre? The girl's parents died in it. No trial, just immediate execution.

She's so heartbroken...She never plays with the other kids.

It really makes me sad. Day in and day out, we toil in the mines so the Empire can have its ore...

And what do we get for our backbreaking labor? Slave wages, barely enough to live on.

I don't think it's a serious crime to complain about our treatment.

And yet my husband was killed...just for a small complaint. How could the Empire be so cruel to us?

How could they take an innocent person's life with no remorse? I heard Geldoblame's dead. It serves him right.

I wish the whole Empire would crumble and vanish from the world. Cetaka's Sword *sigh*...I wish I had a Hot Rock. It's the only thing that will heal Grandma's backache. What?! Is that...a Hot Rock?! I can't believe my eyes.

Here, take this. Think of it as a token of my thanks. We won't forget your kindness. Hey, what are you still doing here? This place is dangerous.

Sensing Malpercio's return, the monsters have become more aggressive and even turn up inside this village.

Others have already evacuated to the desert for safety.

You should leave this place as soon as possible.

What? Me? I have to stay behind and take care of Grandma.

I can't just leave her here. She raised and nurtured me...I have to care for her as she did for me. Traveler, I heard you gave my grandma a Hot Rock.

With your Hot Rock, her backache should get much better.

Now we can both leave this village and take refuge with the others. Thank you so much.

You've really helped us out. Please accept this gift from us. You've really helped us out. Nothing works on my grandma's back like a Hot Rock. You want to give us another one? Thank you.

If you don't have any real business, get out. We're busy here. If you've got idle hands, how about helping us out? Or else how about leaving us alone.

Get out of here! I'm not gonna let you murder anyone again! This is my village! Wait. We are not... Shut up! I said get out of here! Now! Lyude, let's go. Let's track down Geldoblame.

We don't discuss the past in front of the children.

Be careful what you say here. That's all I ask of you. Do you see that? Something's glittering down there.

I wish I could reach it. Huh? It stopped glittering. I'm surprised...The little ones rarely let people through.

I wonder how you earned their trust...Make yourselves at home, friends. I'm sorry that we can't offer you a more hospitable stay. The people in this village are like family.

We're not related by blood, but we've shared hard times together and helped each other get through them.

Our bonds forged in hardship are as firm and real as any bond by blood. What bad things are they doing now in the Lava Caves? Why can't they leave our village alone? The adults tell us to stay out of the Lava Caves, but no one pays any attention to them.

Everyone says there's something really neat at the deepest end of the caves.

I'm fed up with telling the other kids to stop going. They just won't listen to me. So many people to take care of.

If I start making dinner now, I'll barely have it ready in time.

All I do all day is cook, clean, and wash...

Talk about a life of chores. I have nothing to say to people from the Empire.

The Empire's just a nation of murderers. Insane cutthroats. ...What? No one's ever said anything like that to me before...

You came a long way just to tell me that? You're...actually a good person.

Don't forget that...ever... Yeah, you're right, Xelha. We can stop Geldoblame from unsealing the fifth End Magnus... Great And then we take back others! Understood? Listen up, troops. No one goes down without permission. Keep up, or go home. Got it? Sounds like a plan! Let's get going! E0005865 Mechanic's Place:05 Dream Blade Mechanic I won't ask why you're here...just be careful. What? My cave is flooded with lava?!

Those Imperial idiots! They think they own everything.

Let me guess. The lava prevents you from going deeper into the cave, and you want me to help?

Hmmm. You've come to the right person. No one knows the Lava Caves better than me!

It's very easy. All you need to do is chill the lava.

First, of course, you'll need to find something to chill the lava with.

Go back into the Lava Caves and get me some Flame Ice.

Once you've done that, I'll show you how to get across the lava. Yes. This is it.

Flame Ice is a very special type of ice. It's so cool that even the scorching heat in this cave can't melt it.

Now then, hold on for a minute. I'll just put this in here like so... Here we go.

This isn't your ordinary snow cone... It's a special order crushed Flame Ice summer delight.

Here. Take it. You can freeze anything with this baby.

Even blistering hot lava.

Go ahead and trap it in this Blank Magnus. You've obtained 1 new Blank Magnus. I'm not gonna ask why you're going in there.

I know I can trust you not to disfigure my cave like those Imperial imbeciles. News travels fast... I think I know why you're here.

You want to investigate the inexplicable chasm that suddenly broke open in the cave, don't you?

You are going to ask my permission to enter my cave, I presume.

Don't be so nervous. I know you're trustworthy. From now on, you have my blessing to enter my cave anytime you want. I know you won't disfigure my cave like those Imperial Imbeciles. Ha ha ha! Thanks to your visits, I don't feel lonely at all.

I've grown fond of this place. I can't leave...Who else is there to protect it? Ha ha ha! Thanks to your visits, I don't feel lonely at all. The meter of this clock-like device is moving right and left. A blueprint for a new device lies on the table. You notice the outline of an object beneath the blueprint. Grumble Pen You see a blueprint for a new device. Difficult formulas and circuits make the blueprint impossible to understand. Perhaps the remains of an abandoned drilling ambition, you notice a rusty, but really large drill. A fuel barrel stands in front of you. Upon closer inspection, you notice something underneath the barrel. Serpens The barrel is filled with highly flammable oil. You wonder about the wisdom of placing it under a lamp. The device is a combustion engine for burning fuel. It's rusty and leaking. Glad to see you came. I've been waiting for you. Once upon a time I worked under your grandfather, Georg.

This is his hometown you know. Ever since he was a boy he'd make various devices, gizmos, contraptions, you name it.

I'd never met such a skilled mechanic in all my life.

He was a quiet man who kept to himself most of the time...and there was something rather mysterious about him. It must've been more than twenty years ago, that he just picked up and left, disappeared without a trace.

Right around that time, strangers began to show up to visit with him.

The visits became quite frequent and the conversations were quite long...

I knew right away that they were soldiers from Mintaka.

Georg must have been evaluated by the Empire for his mechanical skills. I believe they took him in.

It's only logical the Empire would want him considering his extraordinary talent. Everyone here thought so... I remember Georg had a thirteen year old son at that time named...Giacomo, if my memory serves me.

Later I heard through the grapevine that the boy signed up with the Imperial troops.

Not sure if it's true or not.

If you claim that Georg was your grandfather...

Does that make you Giacomo's boy? No way! Don't make me sick! I have nothing to do with that filthy coward! Mm. You must have your reasons for saying that...

Since that news I hadn't heard hide nor hair of Georg or Giacomo.

Most of the villagers have probably forgotten about them.

Oh, and, what about Larikush? He left together with Georg.

I wonder how he's doing...

Larikush was a talented doctor. I remember he and Georg were the best of friends...

They would often get together and talk about complex theories and whatnot... Larikush? That name sounds familiar...Where have I heard that? Hey, ? Does the name Larikush, ring a bell with you? No, it doesn't. Of course it does. Really!! I'm impressed! Where did you hear about him? Cebalrai. Pherkad. Nashira. Sheliak. Komo Mai. Opu. Parnasse. Reverence. Balancoire. Mintaka. Azha. Oh yeah! It's the doctor from Cebalrai Village.

I'm sure his name was Larikush.

You have a good memory, .

But, does that mean... That doctor knew Georg? He knew my grandfather? Really, ? Are you just throwing out answers at random? That's too bad...

Still...It is familiar...But when...and where? Hey , remember Cebalrai Village...where they brought you the day you passed out...The doctor there...wasn't he... Oh yeah! The doctor there was named Larikush!

I'm pretty sure...

But, does that mean...That doctor knew Georg? He knew my grandfather? So it seems he's alive and well.

If you ever run into him again, please tell him "hello" for me. Will do. By the way sir, the door... I know. I thought it was around here somewhere...

It takes a bit of a trick to get that door open. ...Here it is! I'll go get the door ready... Follow me. E000586C For Event:06 This must be an Interdimensional Crack. Could everyone be trapped on the other side?

I don't have time to think about this. , are you ready? We're going into this Interdimensional Crack. , are you ready? I'm ready. Not yet. Okay, let's do it. All right. Let's take a little time to prepare. It looks like we made it in the nick of time! Azdar Savyna?! What are you doing here?! Geldoblame Hmph, as expected, Giacomo and the others have failed...

But I'm afraid you're too late! The final End Magnus has been released!! The Gate to He will be opened... Behold the Curse of Malpercio! Oh no!! At last! I've obtained all five End Magnus!! Take a good look! NO!! STOP!! Open, great door of darkness! Awaken...Ancient god of destruction!!

Shower your eternal power upon me!!! The pendant!! Great to see everyone back together! Yes, finally. I'm so relieved that we're all safe. So...What do you propose we do now, ? Let's go back to Anuenue first.

I want to let Queen Corellia, King Ladekahn and Lord Calbren know that I've found everyone. We also need to ask them about any new developments. Right. Let's move out. Time to kick some outer dimensional butt! Ayme We're in control down here! Ayme?! Folon This island is in good hands. No need for worry. Folon!! Stay sharp! The fight has just begun!! Azdar! Ladekahn Geldoblame's men? Georg gave us the power of the End Magnus.

Don't worry, we can do it! Yep, piece of cake! Calbren Thank you. We are counting on you! Rally yourselves, all of you! Charge! Rodolfo Right! Corellia Yes! E0005873 For Event:06 (Copy) Enter the Interdimensional Crack? I'm ready. Not yet. Geldoblame The End Magnus...have not been released completely!

What's wrong? Why hasn't the god awakened? ... DON'T!! Ha ha ha ha!! I...I feel the power!! Hot...It's...it's burning within me!

Is this...the breath of Malpercio?! -- Inside Imperial Fortress -- E000587A Imperial Fortress Front Entrance Wave Cutter Light Flare Lv 4 ? ...!! You! You there! Imperial Soldier Weren't you in the Lava Caves? ...Yes, who are you? Only a soldier. But...I was there, too.

I saw the Emperor change into that dreadful beast, then when Melodia and the General came out and did what they did...

I was terrified...I ran for my life.

What's happening to our world? I feel you know something about all this craziness. Please...help us!

Melodia and General Fadroh are in the Fortress as we speak.

Up to something horrible, no doubt.

Please do something... I'm simply terrified! It's all right. We're here to help you. Yes. Please protect the people until then.

They need your help, as a soldier. Yes...yes...absolutely... You're absolutely right. So, Melodia and the others are in the Fortress? Yes. But it's crawling with monsters.

So...please...please watch out. Thank you. You be careful, too. I'll go do what I can for those back in the city. E0005881 In front of First Floor Elevator It says "1."

The center of the Fortress is further ahead. Regular soldiers can't go in.

If we had an elevator key, we would be able to activate it,

but it was taken away from me when I was sent to Diadem...

Let's look around the Fortress a little. There is a good possibility that we can find the key. We need a key to activate this elevator.

That's surprising... I didn't think the intruder security system was still working...

But I'm afraid you won't be seeing Lady Melodia any time soon. You're the General... General Fadroh. You were with Melodia! Ha ha ha! I was once Commander of the mighty Imperial Army, believe it or not.

But that's all in the past. I now serve and honor Lady Melodia. I have sworn to protect Malpercio and the Lady at all costs. Anyone who dares go against the god's will must be eradicated.

It looks like it's dead. It's not functioning at all. This blue ball in the middle is the main machine that monitors security on each floor.

It doesn't seem to be working at all. Then why is the electronic door lock on that floor still working? Hmm, maybe some mischievous brat up ahead is doing it. Great Mizuti That be Melodia!! If we fix this main machine, we'll be able to deactivate the electronic door lock.

Let's repair the main machine first. Okay, what should we do? This blue ball was originally filled with water.

Now, it's totally empty. If we fill it with water, maybe it'll function again. So all we need is water, right? Yes, any kind of water will work. Even water that isn't fresh should be okay.

We need a considerable amount of water. We should gather as much as we can. All righty. Well, let's go get some aqua. So we replenish this with water, right? Okay, it started working. The electronic door lock is deactivating.

But...this might be destiny. I'll have to go to my fellow comrades.

But the Bunnycat under the desk is the only thing I'm worried about. It's my favorite pet.

Please!! Can I ask you the favor of a lifetime? Can you keep it somewhere safe?? You...Oh, you people. You scared me. Don't surprise me like that.

Set fire to the houses, and show them what it means to provoke my wrath!

Summon the Mad Wolves! Send them to Azha immediately! Your Magnificence, the people of Azha are merely protesting against such harsh labor conditions. What was that? Who gave you permission to grow a brain? ... Excuse me, Your Magnificence... Humph! Listen to me, boy. I am the Emperor. The people are my slaves, mere pawns in a game.

If I desire a juicy slab of Torsina meat,

they will find the animal, slaughter it, and present it to me, whatever it takes! If I demand more money, they will toil on with no sleep whatsoever, and pay taxes as ordered.

If I tell them to fight, every single one of them, man, woman and child, if I so desire, will take up arms and fight to the bitter end.

That is the sole purpose of existence for those mindless weaklings. It is the only reason I allow them to live. Fool! ... The Emperor is gone now...

It's said there is a kingdom of ice, far to the north.

Some claim it's so cold there that the air you breathe out, or even your wings will freeze solid.

According to legend this frigid land is ruled by witches. Fearsome witches that wield dark and powerful magic.

Of course, this could just be a fanciful tale, told by superstitious sailors.

Similar to rumors of phantom ships, and mermaids luring sailors into darkness. This place is nuts! I guess it ain't called the Ice Lands for nothin'. So the rumors were true... Wazn really exists.

What? My wife, Yamin, asked you to find me?! You came in this terrible weather for me?!

I have to find her right away, or I may never see her alive again. Please help me look for her! What? You want me to sign my name in the Family Tree? I must find my daughter first! I doubt she could have wandered off far. She should turn up somewhere around here.

Maybe she's been buried in the snow, and that's why I can't find her! The search must go on.

The middle of this path has been searched. She must be somewhere off to the side—somewhere hard to notice... Aargh! Still no sign of her. This is not good. Not good at all. She's been lost now for some time. Why does this always happen to me? I don't know what I would do without my dear daughter. Please, you have to help me... Please help me find my daughter. What?!

I don't think I'm getting it. I know it's freezing out here, but can you give me a more detailed explanation? Yamin's mother's husband? Hmm... So this stepfather of mine wants to see his relatives before he dies?

That's where Yunus went, is it? And Yamin, too? Now I'm starting to see why you're here...

We've been to the Sadal Suud Frontier on a family trip before, so I suppose Yunus could've gotten to Pherkad by herself.

I know she's my daughter, but she's a smart one. All right. I'll sign the Family Tree. Right here, okay? I'll gladly sign the Family Tree. Will you hand it over to me? Gabirol You've done a lot for me. I've gotta go now. My daughter needs me.

I don't understand completely, but I'll help you. You did save my life. Can you hand me the Family Tree? You want me to sign the Family Tree, don't you? Can you hand it over to me? Ummmm...Let me see... Hmm...Where should I sign? Here? Okay, I got it. Yunus Let me get this straight. My grandfather, Quzman, is sick and dying in a town called Pherkad?

Hmm...Okay, I've made up my mind. I'm gonna go see him by myself—without my dad!

I'm so fed up with him. He's so overprotective...I need my space! Mom would let me go alone, for sure.

I can't promise you anything, but I'll do my best. I heard that the outside world isn't covered in ice.

If that's true, then how do you ice skate? That's just weird!! We have sleds too, but they're not as popular as skates.

Sleds are for babies. If I was seen on a sled, everyone would laugh at me. Queen ! Look at this pair of skates!

My father bought them for me yesterday! Aren't they nice?

Queen , when you're done with your duties, let's go skating together, okay? Promise? Queen Xelha, when will you be done with your duties??? Why? Why can't I skate well? How come everyone else but me can do it?

It must be because of this pair of skates! It has to be! It's not that I'm not good at skating!

Yep, yep, that has to be it! Yay! With these I can skate like everyone else! Thank you! Light Flare Lv 4 Here! Thank you so much! I guess changing the skates didn't make me a better skater...

Even at my tender age, I've learned a harsh lesson. So it WAS the skates... I haven't fallen down since.

But no one else is using rubber bumper breaks... Well, to each her own, right? How was your passage through the Ice Cliffs? I bet it must've been hard getting past Catranne's protective barrier spell.

The violent weather makes the Ice Cliffs a dangerous place even for the locals here in Cursa.

Recently, there's been a rumor that the town's children are playing out on the Ice Cliffs.

As you can imagine, the mothers in town are really concerned about this. Apparently some kids are playing on the Ice Cliffs.

All the mothers in town are worried. Welcome home, Queen . And to your friends, I bid a warm welcome. I hope you enjoy the town of Cursa.

Our nation, Wazn, has been isolated from the other five islands for hundreds of years.

I'd be so happy if you could talk with our people about the outside world. This nation has been isolated from the other five islands for hundreds of years.

I'd be so happy if you could talk with our people about the outside world. Welcome to Wazn.

Please make yourselves at home and get some rest. You must be wondering how we can survive on this island of ice and snow, right?

Well, try eating this piece of snow. How does it taste? You feel your strength returning?

This snow is very nutritious, you know. It's all you need for a balanced diet!

Isn't the outside world like that, too? I can't help this bad feeling that tells me disaster is coming our way. Oohh, Heaven forbid! Hello everyone. How are you? What do you think of the scenery around Cursa, hometown to our Queen ?

Isn't it amazing? It shines like Queen 's heart.

Both Queen and the land of Wazn are our pride and joy. I'm gonna be a great sculptor when I get older. So I'm practicing right now.

I can't really make a good sculpture with the poor quality snow around here, though.

Listen, to make a good ice sculpture, you need to use high quality material, which is good snow.

Pretty simple, right? Where is the good snow, you ask? Where do you think? The blustery Ice Cliffs of course.

I won't tell you exactly where it is though, 'cause securing good material is critical for a sculptor. So I can never ever tell you.

...But I kinda feel bad, so I'll give you a hint.

It's called "Sparkling Snow." That may give you some idea of where it is. But you'll have to find it on your own. If you always depend on others, you'll never be able to take care of yourself. That's what my father always says.

You should try to do things by yourself. Well, as much as you can anyway. How does it look? My snowman looks so different from anything else, doesn't it?

Listen, to make an ice sculpture, you need to use good material, which is good snow. Pretty simple, right? We protect Queen Xelha, who watches over the Ocean.

Do the people from the Land have something to protect? What do the people of the Land protect? Are they protecting us?

A-ha! I see! Thank you for protecting us. This girl does a pretty good job. Maybe the material is different...

I bet she uses good snow...

Huh? You wanna know where the good snow is? Even I don't know the answer to that.

If you just want the regular snow, it's all over the place in the Ice Cliffs of Gomeisa. This nation has never been attacked and it's very peaceful.

Thanks to Queen and the three witches. It's a snowman with a handsome face. Even an untrained eye can see the skill of the sculptor. Greythorne Squeeeak. Meemai Squeak. The Ice Lands, the Ice Lands. This is something to see. Hey, ?! Where are you going? What's going on here? Hey! Hold up, already! ! We should follow her! Knight Queen Xelha.

Barnette is ready. She'd like you to come to the ritual room. Okay. Thank you. Please be careful. I'm sure you will come back safe and sound. It's so peaceful, and quiet... Yup, great place. A little nippy, though. Anyway. Tell us your story, .

Tell us why the Queen of Wazn would need to embark on such a dangerous journey? Hmmm, let's see... Where should I start?... It was about nine years ago, I think...

Barnette...my Royal Nanny, the one you met back in the palace, felt something strange was going on in the outside world. Three witches, you say?

Could they be the ones who wove the magical shield encircling Anuenue? Yes indeed, it was them. We actually bumped into them on several occasions in our travels. For quite a while, the world saw little change.

We began to wonder whether we had made too much of a fuss about it... So...I took two guards with me, Gram and Leon, and left...

We reached the Empire, and heard ominous rumors about the Emperor. I posed as a maid and found work in the Imperial Palace.

Eventually, I found out about Geldoblame's secret scheme. ...which leads to us here, now. Correct. I see...

Xelha's battle started long ago, while we were still living the simple life, with no idea what was about to happen. Well, enough reminiscing...

Let's take a look around town until Barnette's done with the preparations. E000597D Outside 2:02 Hey! Don't interrupt me! I'm experimenting with the relationship between the centrifugal force and the friction of the icy ground against increases in speed!

Now, my assistant. Let's start experimenting!!

On to the speed of sound!! Woo hoo! Yeah! Hey! Don't interrupt me! I'm experimenting with the relationship between the acceleration and the friction of air against increases in speed!

Woo hoo! Yeah!! Ahhhh. No matter how much you play with the sled, you can't go faster than the speed of sound, Sis! Awww. It's my turn now. Ahhhh. You can't even get up to the speed of sound, how are you gonna slide faster than the speed of light? Stop complaining and push! Now!! Uh, are you guys from the Land??

How can you stand wearing such thin clothes? Is the Land colder than this place? I'm getting tired of skating! But there's nothing else to do. That's why I skate. Hmm? You're not from around here, are you?

Oh my! What should I do? Pardon me, but are you not...Her Majesty? Oh thank goodness! I'm so glad that you've returned to us safe and sound... Aha ha ha ha ha. I hope you have a pleasant day, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please don't overexert yourself.

We, your faithful subjects, are all concerned about your health. Hmm? Aren't you people cold dressed like that?

Not giving in to the cold...I'm glad to see such spirit in young folks like yourselves. Remember to put on a jacket if it gets too cold! Hey, you shouldn't throw so hard when playing with girls! Ow! That hurts! Would you knock it off?! Eat this! Don't distract me! We're fighting a duel over masculinity! Eh? The opponent is a girl?

...

Yeah, so? I told you I've got my masculinity at stake here, didn't I?

Darn it!! You thief!

Cut it out! Eat this! People from the Land must have no idea how we feel—what it's like to live in this world of ice, shut out completely from the outside world...

Oh, no, no, please forget I said anything!

Compared to the fate Her Majesty must bear, our lives are so much happier. And how are you doing today? Seems like people of the Land have a lot of things to deal with.

I hate myself for being so discontent with this nation. It's a snowman with a rather handsome face. If you look closer, you can see it's holding something. Cloudy Emblem It's a snowman with a handsome face. The angle of the arms and the way it holds the bucket are very precise. Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Squ-squeak. E0005984 Outside 3:03 Barnette Please forgive me, Your Majesty...

Even the Ocean Mirror couldn't possibly reclaim someone tainted by the breath of the evil god...someone taken by the darkness...

In order to save the world, you'll just have to give up on him...

It's hopeless. Shall we get on the White Dragon, ? Sure! No, not yet. Yes, let's. No, not yet. Welcome back, Your Majesty. Everyone will be relieved that you came back in one piece. Everything's in good order. Let us handle the guard, Your Majesty. Welcome back, Your Majesty. You don't need to worry about this nation.

We, the soldiers of Wazn, will risk our lives to protect the people and the nation from any kind of harm. I don't know much about the Land, but we have the Ice Queen here.

That's why we can live in peace. How do you like it here? Isn't this a beautiful town? I don't know about the other nations, but it sounds like terrible things are happening.

But I believe that the Queen, along with all of you, will save the world. Hey, look! My snowman is more stylish, isn't it? Eh? You think that one looks better?

...

Go away! You uneducated ruffians don't understand what art is all about. I'm sorry. I got a little carried away there. The art of a genius is difficult for some to understand.

There's no way you could understand it in any way.

It's not easy being a genius... Rationally speaking, it's only natural to pursue a stylish approach when making snowmen.

I, so diligently pursuing this quality, am obviously a genius. Look at my snowman! Isn't it so transcendent that it sends chills straight to your soul? Huh? You actually feel something in your soul?

That just makes me so happy! So there really are people in this city who understand true art. He he he he he. How do you like it? Isn't my snowman incredible? I have the best skills, you know. The best! How do you like the town of Cursa? It's a little cold but, isn't it an amazing town?

Please have a look around. The beauty of the town will prove refreshing to tired travelers. I was born and have been living here for over fifty years...I still haven't got used to this cold weather.

When I was a kid, I wouldn't go outside to play with the other kids.

Now I think it's best for kids to play outside. By the way...you people, aren't you cold wearing those skimpy threads? Yamin Could you tell my husband and daughter that I'm going to see my father, Quzman?

My husband and daughter have gone to Gomeisa. I'm so worried because of the blizzard. Woman with a Bracelet You mentioned that I would have to write my name on the Family Tree to go back, didn't you?

Could you let me see the Family Tree? I really want to see my father. I'm sorry, but I really want to see my father. Could you show me the Family Tree? If the blizzard is hitting us this hard here, it must be even harder in the blustery Ice Cliffs.

We have to be careful.

Oh, sorry. Since my husband and daughter went to play with sleds... It's more chilly than usual. Are we going to have another blizzard? I'm sorry. Who are you again?

What is that? It looks like some sort of a Family Tree, but does it have anything to do with me? This bracelet? My ancestors have been wearing them for generations. I feel uneasy if I don't wear one. Hmm? That Family Tree reminds me of something. Do you mind if I take a look at it? This name, "Usaybia," is my mother's name. And this "Quzman"...

Could that be my father's name? I'm beginning to remember. But...why do you have this?

Quzman gave it to you? He wants to see me before he passes away?! Ohh...I'll go. Of course I'll go! I'd like to go with my husband, but I can't wait.

I need to see my father before it's too late, so I should leave right away.

My husband and daughter are out sledding in Gomeisa right now. Could you tell them the news for me? I'll go to Quzman's house as soon as I finish cleaning up. Please tell my husband and daughter for me. It's a snowman without any special features. If a regular person makes a snowman with regular snow, it usually looks like this one. The color of the snow used to make this snowman is an entire level above the rest. This is something that you would refer to as art, my friend. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeak squeak. Xelha's Mother Barnette tells me the time of the prophecy is drawing near.

Something, somewhere, is awakening, after a thousand years of sleep...

The time may be here for the last of the Ice Queens to fulfill her destiny...

Whether it be you or I,

should the prophecy be fulfilled, the Ice Queen will be no more...

It will be our final prayer to the world, our final blessing... ... You must follow your own path.

Even if you are alone, never back down, never fear, and stride forward with your head up.

The Ocean will always be with you...

And we will always be walking alongside... ... Seal of Water E000598B House 1:04 Sculptor Oh, Queen . I can't really take my hands off this project, so I'm sorry to talk to you like this.

What can I do for you? Actually, I'd like you to make some ice sculptures for the knight statues in the ritual room.

Could you come with me? Right now? Hmm, it'd be a little hard.

When I went to the castle a while ago, I came up with a new idea for a sculpting technique.

I'd like to test it out, but it takes time and research.

I'm really sorry, Queen , but that's something I can't do at the moment. After all, I'm an artisan with a free spirit.

Maybe this doesn't sound respectful, but my son, Junior, right there, can go in my place.

I criticize him all the time, but he's actually pretty darn good.

I'll bet he'd do a fine job, Your Majesty. Okay, I'll talk to your son. Thank you. Please let my son handle the job. Junior's a chip off the old block. Oh really now? The little squirt wants Sparkling Snow, does he?

Nothing is more important than Sparkling Snow for an ice sculptor, that's for sure. His pride grows more and more everyday.

Eh? You don't know where to find it?

We're not supposed to tell that to other people...

All right. I'll only tell you, Queen .

You need to go to the blustery Ice Cliffs.

You can pick up snow anywhere there, but there's one place that's different from the others.

It would be easier for you to just go out and find it by yourself.

Please make sure not to tell the others. How's my boy? Is Junior doing a decent job? Oh, Queen . I can't really take my hands off this project, so I'm sorry to talk to you like this.

I've got good news. I've managed to perfect my new sculpting technique!

It's now complete thanks to Your Majesty allowing me to see Kaffaljidhma Castle.

I'd like to express my gratitude somehow, Queen .

How does this sound? Would you grant me the honor of making an ice sculpture of Your Majesty? That sounds wonderful! But I don't really have the time to be a model for a sculpture... That's okay, I'm a professional. I can remember your features very quickly.

If you let me handle this, I'll finish it while you're traveling. Oh, okay. Then, by all means! I kind of look forward to seeing it. Please come back again sometime in the near future. It should be finished by then. Oh, Queen . I can't really take my hands off this project, so I'm sorry to talk to you like this.

I've been waiting for you, Your Majesty.

Queen 's ice sculpture has finally been completed.

I thought to myself that it was a masterpiece, so I displayed it at the entrance. Hmm, it does look pretty good. He's not all talk, after all. He actually has some skill. Well now, you're makin' me blush a little.

Would you like me to make one of you, too...if that's okay? Huh? M-me? Go for it! Too embarrassing. Why not? Embarrassing... Well... Well, why not? Certainly. I'll finish it while you're traveling.

Please come back again sometime in the near future. Yeah... It's too embarrassing to have my sculpture made.

Well, I appreciate your intentions, but no thanks. Great Mizuti What are you saying, ! This be a golden opportunity!

If not want it, Great want it!

It would be a better one, yes. Grand! Great! What should I do? Hmm...let's see... Not Great Mizuti's! Great Mizuti's is fine Yeah, I'd rather have mine than having Great 's. I'll have a grudge against you! A long-awaited statue of truth and justice was about to be made. Yeah, Great can be the model.

Hey man, can you do that for us? Thanks!

Mister, Great 's gallant figure, please sculpt it skillfully! Oh, Queen . I can't really take my hands off of this project, so I'm sorry to talk to you like this.

I've been waiting for you. Queen , .

The ice sculpture of has finally been completed.

I thought to myself that it was quite a work of art, so I displayed it at the entrance. Oh, doesn't this look nice? It looks great, . Hmm? Uhh...yeah, thanks. No problem. Thank you for being models, you two. These sculptures are my pride and joy.

I'll put these permanently on display, so come and see them anytime. Hey, man! You call this a masterpiece?

Why did you pick such a weird pose? Hey, you're always posin' weird, kid. It captures you well. Yeah! It does look like ! Thank you much.

I'll put these permanently on display, so come and see them anytime. Oh, Queen . I can't really take my hands off this project, so I'm sorry to talk to you like this.

I've been waiting for you. Queen , .

The ice sculpture of Great has finally been completed.

I thought to myself that it's quite brilliant, so I displayed it at the entrance. Yeah, it looks great! You be pretty good!

Those lively hips...It be looking like the great hero that I be! Yes...that was the hardest part...

I'll put these permanently on display, so come and see them anytime. Thanks to you, these sculptures are my pride and joy.

I'll put these permanently on display, so come and see them anytime. Junior My father never compliments me on my work.

But I'm a full-fledged sculptor already. He just won't admit it. I'd like you to do me a favor. Would you mind? I heard from my father. You're gonna let me sculpt some statues in the castle, right?

You can count on me! I'll do my best.

You want me to make them in the castle's ritual room, right?

I'll head over there now and wait for you to get me the material, Queen . The material? Yeah, I need snow to sculpt, and it can't be just any old snow.

Only Sparkling Snow can make a sculpture appropriate enough for the castle.

You can just visit me whenever you're ready, Queen .

I'll be waiting for you. Oh, Queen . So, how's the White Dragon doing?

He he he, I don't mean to brag, but I got to help out with her too, so I'm just curious. This sculpture of Queen Xelha combines the pureness of a young girl with the dignity of a queen. This sculpture of Kalas combines the edginess of a young rebel with the makings of an honorable hero with a good heart. The pose is a bit odd, but this sculpture was obviously created by a master. This sculpture of the Great Mizuti is the perfect expression of angst and sorrow buried in the heart of a great hero. Something is inside the bin. Dark Flare Lv 4 It's a hexagonal bin made of ice. You have no idea why it's shaped like this, but it matches the room in an odd sort of way. Peering into the bin, you notice something inside of it. Soybeans Many empty liquor bottles have been dumped into the bin. Cold climate inhabitants are said to be strong drinkers.

The rumors are apparently true. It's a cooking pot made of ice. How on earth do they cook anything with it?! You see the outline of a recently removed display item. There's nothing there now. E0005992 House 2:05 Welcome. Please make yourselves at home. ...Hmm? You'd like to try your hand at ice fishing?

I'm sorry, all the holes have been reserved. Shush! Shush! You're gonna scare the fish away!

Don't you have any manners? Good grief... *mumble*... Shh! Would you keep it down?! Ice fishing is a serious sport!

Huh? What can I catch, you ask? I can catch enough fish to make a fortune!

You just watch! I'm gonna build my own castle with the money I get from these fish!! Ahh!

That was so close! It got away! Don't get in my way! Ah...

I almost had one! Would you knock it off?! ...

I have to keep my cool. As soon as these strangers leave, I can fish in peace. Fishing is good for the soul, my friends. Just focusing on this hole here, and waiting for a bite...It does wonders. Presence of mind...presence of mind...Nothing that's hurried turns out well...Patience is a virtue! No need to hurry, no need to hurry. Just believe an opportunity will come, and wait for it. Be the hole...Be the hole. I've been waiting for a while, but I haven't got any fish yet. Not even a nibble.

Even my patience is limited...

But thinking of losing a fish that might bite five seconds from now...

It just makes it hard to leave. ...Oh, nature has been calling for the longest time... Day after day, fishing all the time...But there's nothing else fun to do around here. Ah, I'm getting sick of living here!

How nice it would be to travel to the other nations! But that's impossible... *sigh* I wonder what it's like to live in a nation of the Land. I hear the Land nations are going through some kind of crisis. I'm sure lucky I was born here. What is wrong with today's youth? They're all a bunch of slackers I tell you. Slackers!

Don't they care about our fate and the fate of the Ice Queen?!

What kind of fate, you ask? Of course, to protect the Ocean!

...

Humph! People of the Land will never understand! Yes? Is there something I can do for you? Young people these days don't take life seriously.

They should at least feel a little concerned about the crisis that's happening in our world!! Greythorne Squeak... Meemai Squeak. A huge frozen fish. Upon closer inspection, you see something else is frozen along with it. Ursa Minor A fish that's said to have been extinct for a thousand years is frozen here. A flat fish is frozen to the wall. Just looking at it makes you shiver. A fat fish is frozen to the wall. It almost looks like a stuffed animal. There's plenty of fishing bait and tackle in the box. The bait is dried up, and doesn't look very tasty. Of course, a fish may think otherwise. -- Ice Castle Kaffaljidhma -- E0005999 The White Dragon's Room:01 A legendary creature... This White Dragon is the last of its kind. The only dragon left in the world, actually. Please take good care of her. I've been taking care of her for such a long time, that I still kinda feel that she's my responsibility. How's the White Dragon doing? Her appetite is as big as her size.

I hope you're not having trouble feeding her.

Remember though, her appetite is a small price to pay for the convenience of being able to quickly travel from island to island. The White Dragon is our national symbol. A creature of great power that has been passed down for generations.

Though she might be very attached to you, Queen , please refrain from riding the dragon without permission. Maybe she's close to Queen because she knew this was going to happen.

I had the White Dragon head for the port in Cursa. Be careful on your way. The White Dragon is our nation's symbol. It's power has been passed on for generations.

She's very attached to Queen , so don't handle her roughly. The White Dragon has gentle eyes.

She just smiled at me a while ago.

I'm not lying! I'm telling you the truth! You can ride on the White Dragon's back and go to various nations, right? You're lucky!

She must be really fast, right? Tell me all about her sometime, okay? Knight Queen Xelha.

Barnette is ready. She'd like you to come to the ritual room. Okay, thank you. Please be careful... I'm sure you will come back safe and sound. Hey...Isn't that a dragon?! It's amazing! A creature of legend, still alive... Great Mizuti Ah...the Great relishes the thought of riding it some day! It's been a while, hasn't it, O White Dragon? I'll be asking you for your help again very soon.

Please be ready. Meemai Squeak. E00059A0 Throne Room:02 So she decided to send out three witches, to keep an eye on the outside world. Kodelle Kodelle ... Glamyss Glamyss Catranne Catranne All of them are younger sisters of Barnette. Old Fortune Teller E00059A7 Ritual Room:03 Barnette Your Majesty, all of you, please take care of yourselves. We will, Barnette. I promise we'll be back with the Ocean Mirror. I'm not worried, Your Majesty.

Are you all ready? ...Very well, then. I'll send you off to the Lake of the Dragon. Barnette, it's okay for me to use the White Dragon, right? Aha ha ha. Of course, Queen .

For the battles you have ahead, and the destinations you must reach, the White Dragon is perhaps your only chance.

Regular ships probably won't be able to last nearly as long.

But before you ride her, there's one more thing I'd like you to do, Queen .

Though the White Dragon is very attached to you, it doesn't mean it is yours to keep,

it merely means it has been passed on to you, like it has been to the successive Knights of Wazn for generations.

So I'd like you to watch over her as one of the successive Knights would, .

The four ice sculptures that are displayed in this ritual room are sculptures of Knights that have had the White Dragon stand beside them for generations.

Each of them was a veteran that specialized in a particular weapon.

But these sculptures... Don't you feel as if something's missing from them?

Queen , if you understand the souls of the successive Knights,

make the weapons they're missing, and complete the ice sculptures.

Of course, you should let a professional sculptor do the work.

Instruct the sculptor on which weapons to make, Queen .

If you can develop an understanding of all the Knights,

the White Dragon will allow you to be its master and it will bond with your soul.

Now, may the successive Knights' protection be with you... To inherit the White Dragon, you'll have to complete the ice sculptures, Queen .

So first, you'll have to find a sculptor. I had the White Dragon head for the port in Cursa.

Now, to the White Dragon. Junior Your Majesty, I'll need top quality materials for these great ice sculptures.

Have you brought Sparkling Snow with you?

If I don't have Sparkling Snow, I won't be able to make sculptures that are good enough.

After you get me the materials, we'll think about what weapon goes with what sculpture. Okay, now I have all the materials.

All you need to do is check the ice sculptures and decide what weapons you want me to sculpt. Well, I'm gonna try out a creative idea I've been thinking about. Could you give me one night?

I'll definitely have them finished for you by tomorrow! We did it, Your Majesty! I'm so happy that I could do such a good job! Anyhow, we'll have to look for a sculptor...

I think there's one living in the town of Cursa.

, let's go there first. Wait a minute, Queen . I'll need top quality materials for these great ice sculptures. Please bring me Sparkling Snow.

Otherwise, I won't be able to make sculptures that are of good enough quality.

After you get me the materials, we'll think about what weapon goes with what sculpture. There's something inscribed on this ice sculpture. Perhaps the words of the Knight this is modeled after...

"My philosophy: deliver a finishing blow with precise aim. Nothing has escaped from me. This strained string is my heart and soul." I see, this person must have specialized in that weapon...

You know what it is, don't you, ? A halberd An axe A bow A shield I don't know Yes! I knew you would get it right, !!

Now, let's have the sculptor make the weapon. Okay, Queen . I'll pour my heart into this project!

Well, I'm gonna try out a creative idea I've been thinking about. Could you give me one night?

I'll definitely have them finished for you by tomorrow! Okay, Queen . I got this ice sculpture figured out.

I'll make them all at once, so could you decide what weapons to make for the other ice sculptures? Oh! I know what it is already!

You should know this. Think about it. Hmm, you think so?

Well, if you say so, we'll ask him to make it. We've already decided what weapon to place on this ice sculpture. Let's take a look at the others. An ice sculpture of a heroic Knight with a bow. The bow is sculpted skillfully, as if the arrow is about to be shot. There's something inscribed on this ice sculpture. Perhaps the words of the Knight this is modeled after...

"I can take any attack. Guarding and protection are my forte. This piece of steel is my life." An ice sculpture of a heroic knight with a shield. It's skillful design conveys a sense of security, as if it offers complete protection from all things. There's something inscribed on this ice sculpture. Perhaps the words of the Knight this is modeled after...

"Millions have fallen before me. I slash, stab, and bludgeon. This long spear is my best friend." An ice sculpture of a Knight with a halberd. The halberd was sculpted with great attention to detail. There's something inscribed on this ice sculpture. Perhaps the words of the Knight this is modeled after...

"There's nothing I can't cut. Even a wall of a thousand soldiers is nothing to me. This thick blade is my heart and soul." An ice sculpture of a Knight with an axe. The axe has been sculpted skillfully, with an intensity never before seen in ice. What's wrong, Queen ? Do you want me to stop sculpting?

If I quit now, I'll have to start all over again! What do you want him to do? Let him continue. Make him do it later. Yes, let's get this over with, as everyone's waiting for us. Umm, I'm still not ready... Let's come back later. It's an altar made of ice. The ritual should be carried out quickly, since keeping your hands on this for a long time may cause frostbite. Sagittarius Something is about to happen...

It is but a pebble in calm waters now, but its ripples will grow...until, some day, it will swallow all...

The people...The world...Everything... But then, two years ago... Barnette suddenly had a strong premonition, an ill omen, speaking of ruin and destruction. Those not meant to meet have indeed met. An ominous, terrible tragedy is in the making.

The end of the world is drawing near... That very night, I had an awful nightmare... Thank the heavens you are safe! How did it go? I have the Mirror. Wonderful! I knew you could do it, Your Majesty! I'm so proud of you. Ah, Queen !! They're done! Perfectly! These are the best sculptures I've ever made in my life! I knew you could do it, Queen . You've completed the sculptures of the Knights successfully.

As I promised earlier, you will be the successor of the White Dragon.

I had the White Dragon head for the port in Cursa.

That ship you were on, Queen Xelha, is it the Mindeer?

I remember that as being King Ladekahn's ship.

We'll take it to Diadem for you.

Now, go to the White Dragon. Ah, Queen ... I'm sorry, they're not done yet.

It's like my creative juices just aren't flowing.

I'm thinking maybe it's because of the combination of the ice sculptures and the weapons.

Could you select them again? I'll make them right next time! Mother, what did you want to tell me? Xelha's Mother Listen carefully, Xelha.

I'm sure you have understood this to some extent, but I'll repeat myself.

The Queen of these lands has a very important duty to fulfill. ... You, who will be the next Queen, may be required to leave these lands to travel the outside world,

to deal with the seeds of disaster which may threaten the ways of our world... Yes, Mother... If Barnette ever foresees such a change in the world,

remember, first of all, to send Kodelle, Glamyss and Catranne to Anuenue.

Have them send you reports on the happenings of the world.

Anuenue seems to have had connections with Wazn, in ancient times. They will have less trouble using their magic there.

Then, if you should ever be convinced that evil will befall the world, you should set off, immediately.

Determine what you can do to alleviate the damage, to ease the world's hurt.

That is the oath our line is sworn at birth, to uphold.

Do you understand, ? Yes, Mother! The time has almost come... The prophecy may be fulfilled during my reign.

If so, you will be blessed with a normal life, as any other young girl would.

...how I hope it will be so... Mother... But if things turn out differently... It will be your turn...

You will have to bear the burden, to assume your duties as the new Queen of Wazn.

Our line is bound to this responsibility... Yes, Mother. Please don't worry...

I'm your daughter...I know I am ready...

As the Queen of Ice, I will protect the Ocean... And...if the time comes for the world to be reborn...

I will return the Ocean to the people... E00059AE First Floor Hall:04 This is a guestroom for visitors to the Ice Castle.

Then again, our nation hasn't been in contact with the five islands for hundreds of years.

It's open to the public, but only the people of Wazn have really used it. This is a guestroom for visitors to the Ice Castle.

I think you've been here before a couple of times, haven't you? Please come in. This is the White Dragon's den.

According to Lady Barnette, those who are not citizens of Wazn are forbidden to enter.

Um...I mean...but since Queen Xelha is with you, there's no problem.

Please have a look at our White Dragon, the pride of Wazn. This is the White Dragon's den.

Since the dragon has already left, it may be more appropriate to refer to this place as the "Room Formerly Known as the White Dragon's Den." Ha ha ha.

This is the White Dragon's den. Ah, Queen !! Welcome home!

Since you've been gone, Queen , I've been praying everyday.

Praying that Your Majesty would be okay.

My prayers were answered! Ah! Welcome home!

How's the White Dragon? Is she as magnificent as everyone says? What's so magnificent about her?

Please tell me! When you're done traveling is fine. Please, please, please! Queen Xelha, you seem...different now...

You look the same but it's almost as if...you have two souls within you. What a strange feeling. Queen Xelha? Yes, you seem to be back to normal.

When you came back last time, something didn't seem right. It was as if there were two people, or two souls within you. These statues are modeled after the White Dragon, our national symbol.

But the real White Dragon kept here at the castle is the last one in existence.

Oh, I've told you this many times, haven't I, Queen ? These statues are modeled after the White Dragon, our national symbol.

As you know, we hold the White Dragon in highest esteem. Please take good care of her. Oh, Queen , I haven't seen Your Majesty for quite some time. Is something troubling you?

You look very concerned. Whatever it is, I wish you the best, My Queen. These stairs are tough on my old bones.

Should I go back... or should I go on?

Hmm, can you people decide for me? Keep going! You can take it! You're old, so don't overexert yourself. Keep going! You can take it! Don't overexert yourself. You've started climbing already, so you might as well press on to the end. Okay, take a good look. I've still got some spring in these old feet of mine! No, what if you overdo it and wear yourself out on the way? That'd be a mess. Y-yes, you're right... I'm old, aren't I... Greythorne Squeak. Meemai Squeeeak. Squ-squeak. Squeeeeak. Squeak squeak! It's an ice statue of the White Dragon. It's valiant, life-like pose makes it look as though it may fly away. It's an ice statue of the White Dragon. Looking into its eyes gives you a sense of its gentle nature. Servant Welcome home, Your Majesty. Did I just imagine that?! Your Majesty?! Are you telling me that... Great Mizuti be?! ...?! We'll talk about it later.

First thing we have to do is to find a way to fight back against the End Magnus and the forces of darkness. Barnette Queen Xelha, we're relieved to see you safe and sound. I'm fine, yet... Gram and Leon came to protect me from a Sabre Dragon in Sadal Suud. They...didn't make it. I'm so sorry to hear that... They were good men.

I'm sure their souls are at peace, knowing they did their part, as Her Majesty has thus returned, safely.

I will notify their families... Please do... Has anything happened while I was away? Nothing worthy of your attention, Your Majesty. I see...that's good to hear. You must be tired. Please take a rest.

We'll prepare hot food for our guests. Barnette, we don't have time to relax. We need your advice! Hmmm, hope I can be of some help... E00059B5 Passage on Second Floor:05 Oh, Queen , welcome home.

The Knights of Wazn are so pleased to see you back safe and sound. Oh, Queen , welcome home.

Everyone of the Knights of the Wazn are truly happy to see you again. I'm very sorry for what happened to Gram and Leon...

But I'm also very proud of them because they were able to protect you. Oh, Queen , welcome home.

We must eliminate the ancient god as soon as possible, for Gram and Leon, and for the world. While Her Majesty was away, Kaffaljidhma almost felt empty, as if it was a heartless entity.

Only then did we realize how important Her Majesty's presence is to Wazn. When Your Majesty is away, not only the Wazn Knights, but we citizens as well, will protect the nation.

So please don't worry, and do your best, Queen . The throne room, Queen 's room, and the ritual room are all beyond this staircase.

The general public is not allowed to go up.

Thee um, I mean, of course if you're with Queen , you can go in. Welcome home Queen !!

You must be exhausted. How about some rest? Please, come in! Now that great danger has befallen the world, Wazn cannot help but take part in the struggle.

Queen , the Knights of Wazn await your orders. We are ready to risk our lives for you. We're ready at all times. We have trained our bodies, honed our hearts and minds, and are prepared for anything.

Queen , the Knights of Wazn await your orders. We are ready to risk our lives for you. Hello Queen .

I'd like to hear your adventure stories sometime soon.

I really want to know what's happening in the outside world. My grandpa...is late...

He told me that he would catch up and that I should go on ahead...

I'm afraid he might've collapsed somewhere... You gave my grandpa encouragement?

Thanks to you, he flew up the stairs like a greased ice monkey!

Then he wooped and hollered like in the old days, and he went off somewhere else...

...I don't know what to do with a grandpa who doesn't know how to act his age. E00059BC Passage on Third Floor:06 The throne room is just beyond this door.

Oh, I'm sorry, Queen Xelha. You would've known that, of course. Barnette took Kodelle, Glamyss, and Catranne, and headed for Anuenue.

I heard King Ladekahn and the others also left for Anuenue. Please tell them we're doing okay. Oh, Queen , I'm so glad to see you're doing well. Please let me take a closer look at your face.

You look like you've lost some weight...It must've been tough out there for you.

Please don't do anything too dangerous. The worry would take years from my life and add gray hairs to my head. Oh, Queen , I'm so glad to see you're doing well. Please let me take a closer look at your face.

Barnette and the others have gone to Anuenue. That's another of my concerns. Welcome home, Queen .

There's nothing like resting in your own room after a long journey. Please take a good rest. Welcome home, Queen !!

I always give the greatest care to cleaning your room so that you can relax whenever you come home, My Queen.

Please. Please go have a rest in your room. This is the ritual room. We're getting ready for the ritual—going down to the Lake of the Dragon.

Please wait a bit longer. This is the ritual room. Preparations are complete. You may now descend to the Lake of the Dragon.

Barnette is waiting for you. Please go inside. Welcome home, Queen !!

The ritual room lies beyond this door. I don't think it's necessary for you to enter again...

But please go ahead! The Lake of the Dragon is also known as Trial Lake. None of the former queens have successfully traversed it.

But I believe you can do it, Queen . If you successfully traverse Trial Lake, you'll be fine no matter what happens.

Please go forth with boldness. We'll be humbly praying for your success. The Ocean Mirror is a legendary, sacred item that has the power to repel sinister forces.

It's all we know of that can be used against the evil god.

We'll all be praying for your success, Queen . Welcome back, Queen .

Everyone in Kaffaljidhma has been praying for your success and safety. E00059C3 Xelha's Room:07 I cleaned this room thoroughly while you were away, my dear Queen.

Your Majesty always kept it clean in the first place, but I gave it a bit of an extra polish.

The engravings on the floor were redone and the bed was kept cool. Please get some rest. Welcome home, Queen Xelha.

How does it look? I gave it an even better polish than before, but you probably didn't notice, did you?

This time, I cleaned thoroughly under the chair, the inside of the comforter, and the cloth lining of the carpet. So please get some rest. An ice lamp is on the shelf. Won't heat from the light melt it? Young Wasabi Root It's a unique-looking ornament. Even though it's made of ice, somehow it gives you a nice, warm feeling inside. Light Flare Lv 4 The desk is in very good order. There's not a single speck of dust on it. Someone did a spick and span job. It's an untarnished table and chair set. Not too luxurious, yet not too plain. This tall mirror allows you to see yourself from head to toe. It's polished well and has no blurry spots. There's a candlestick made of ice on the small table. Won't it melt when you light the candle? This bed seems to have been used by Xelha. It's not proper to search a young lady's bed! Dancing Flames Barnette I see...

Her Majesty has been through quite an ordeal. I thank you all for your help.

Thanks to you, Her Majesty has returned to us safely. And I appreciate your involvement in helping Her Majesty, .

My sincerest gratitude. No problem. It was actually pretty hard. Barnette, stop it. You're embarrassing me. We have more important things to think about. Hey , what's that supposed to mean? Let's get back to the subject... Yes, yes, Your Majesty. About these "End Magnus" you told me of...

I could have never imagined that the calamities predicted long ago would turn out to be something so horrible.

We certainly cannot allow this cursed god, Malpercio, to be awakened unto our world.

However, to face the power of the five End Magnus, the various limbs of ancient gods...

You would need something equally powerful.

The only thing that comes to mind is the Ocean Mirror, passed down from generation to generation.

The Mirror should be able to reflect the god's vile powers, and provide some protection.

It may allow you enough time to either re-seal the End Magnus, or destroy them.

Yes, this may indeed work. I think you're right. Very well. I'll go down to the Lake of the Dragon and get the Mirror. Will you not reconsider, Your Majesty?

Countless Queens have taken this path...Yet none of them, not a single one... I know... To tell you the truth, I'm scared...

But we both know this is the only way. I can't back down now.

Besides, I have a Guardian Spirit with me, .

This just might work... Then I will say no more.

I'll begin preparations immediately.

It may take a while to get everything ready. I'm counting on you. Why don't we go take a look around town while she's preparing? Sounds good to me... Yes, I'd like to see how people live in the Ice Lands. Great Mizuti The Great strongly wishes to accompany you! Might as well. It's an alternative to just sitting here, doing nothing. About two years ago, I had a dream foreshadowing the end of the world.

Queen also had a terrible nightmare.

It was then that she lost most of her magical powers. Something was happening to the world...

The Queen decided to seek for answers on her own.

She told me she had made a promise with her mother, the previous Queen, to go and look for the cause.

Queen would never listen to anybody once she'd made up her mind.

Yet, she was still afraid of the outside world, and what was happening around us.

It was hard to know who would be friend, and who would be foe.

Not knowing who to trust, Queen Xelha decided to travel incognito. *yawn* Are you awake, Your Majesty? Yes. Sorry for worrying you. I'll be fine now. Drink this my dear Queen.

It should cure you of any fatigue or dizzyness. Thank you, Barnette. ... What's wrong? I suppose I used a few more herbs than you're used to.

Was it too bitter? No, that's not it. Tell me Barnette, those who bathe in the light of the End Magnus, one who is transformed after touching the power of the evil god...

Do you think the Mirror would allow me to bring them back? I would say yes, Your Majesty.

The Mirror should be able to free anyone struck with the cursed god's breath, taken by darkness,

and return them to their former selves. Really? Yes. Her Majesty should trust this old nanny.

I know you want to save that young man from the darkness.

I figure saving him may be your top priority. Barnette! But, I often wonder... What ever happened to those who banished the evil god, long ago?

A race of beings with mysterious powers, the Children of the Earth.

Have they disappeared completely? We don't have time to sit around pondering whether the people of those old legends exist or not to help us. Xelha need not be worried. The Great Mizuti be with you. Yes, of course. I'll be all right, now. Thank you, everyone. We should be heading back!

Queen Corellia, Duke Calbren, King Ladekahn...

All the people of Sadal Suud, Diadem, Anuenue, Mira and Alfard...And Kalas!...

Everyone's counting on us! Damn right. Let us go back to them! Yes. On the double. E00059CA Guest Room 1:08 Oh, Queen ! We're enjoying a tour of the castle.

How generous of you to have opened the castle to the general public.

I adore you even more for that, Queen . All my husband ever thinks about is sculptures. Even after they finally let us inside the castle...He's hopeless!

Ice sculpting is a very honorable profession in Wazn. But thinking only of sculptures day in and day out is an obsession... My husband has gone back to his workshop in Cursa. We came all the way here to see the castle, and he couldn't wait to get back.

My son is just like his father... They both went back. I have to enjoy the atmosphere by myself now. They're letting us see the castle, but both my husband and son have gone back to Cursa...

So I feel a little lonely... Maybe I should check out the workshop in Cursa. The engraving on this pillar is definitely not the work of a novice. It's only natural to expect greatness at Kaffaljidhma.

Your average sculptor definitely wouldn't be able to engrave like this around the edges.

What are you doing? Let's leave him alone. H-hey, what are you doing?! You're not going to tear down the castle, are you? Hmm? Ahh, Queen and her friends. How are you all?

Umm, I was studying the engravings of this castle. They're absolutely splendid. Are you sure? Looked like you were gonna break or smash the pillar to me. Oh no, what a ridiculous thought. I was trying to come up with a new engraving technique by studying these old engravings.

To prove it, I'll show you the new ideas that I came up with.

I have a workshop in Cursa, so please drop by anytime.

I'll study here a little more, so please drop by sometime later. He seems so obsessed, he may not even notice us when we're talking to him. Dad, look! This chandelier is done pretty well! Shut up! Stop talking like you know everything! I'm busy now, so be a good kid and keep it down! This one is also really good! Dad, this floor couldn't have been engraved in just one or two years! Didn't I tell you to hush up? I can't be disturbed while examining this incredible workmanship. Wow! All the tableware in this place is hand carved!! Don't you ever stop talking?

Court Lady Thanks to you, it's getting much more lively here. I'm so happy.

It's not much, but please accept this as a symbol of my gratitude. Endeavoring Woman Please go find some more animals. Because of your hard work, many animals are now thriving in our nation, which had no animals not too long ago.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Please accept this small gift of gratitude. Pegasus Anklet If we breed these dear animals, this nation will become very lively. I can't wait! You have collected all the animals! This animal is a... %s, isn't it? Thank you very much.

I promise to take good care of it. Please keep up the good work. What a pleasant surprise. Queen and her friends. How are you today?

I've heard from others in the castle that Her Majesty has been traveling the five islands.

If what the others say is true, I'd like to ask you to do a favor for me... What is it? I don't have time for errands. Sure granny, I'll hear you out... What is it? Yes, I'll hear what you have to say. What is it? Please tell me. Well then, thank you for your kind offer...

It's about the animals in this nation.

As you can see, we have harsh weather in Wazn, so the only animals here, other than us humans are greythornes, ice monkeys—if they actually exist—and of course, the White Dragon.

Unfortunately, it's been centuries since we last had contact with the five islands. So there's been no way for us to import new animals.

We felt we were missing something.

So, I was wondering if you, a party of Queen that's traveling around the five islands, could bring the animals from all around the world to Wazn?

How does that sound? The "Animals to Wazn Campaign!" Are you willing to help? Of course we'll help you. No errands! Man, you're so unpredictable, .

Okay granny, we'll take you up on that offer. Oh my, you're so whimsical, .

All right then, we'll take the offer. Oh, you'll help us! How nice of you! So, what are we supposed to do exactly? Okay, it's pretty easy. All you have to do is talk to animals from all over the world.

The animals will be added to your valuables. Then just talk to me.

Of course, I'll reward you. Thank you and good luck. Sorry, granny. Going on an errand doesn't sound very appealing. Please stop asking. I'm really sorry. We have more serious things to worry about right now. Oh...That's too bad... If you ever change your mind, I'll be waiting for you. Old granny, judging by that look, you're hoping to have us run an errand, aren't you? Not gonna happen. By chance, are you asking us to run an errand?

I'm very sorry, but it's just...not the right time... I see...If you ever change your mind, I'll be waiting. All you have to do is talk to the animals from over the world and bring them here.

Then talk to me and I'll exchange the animals for some valuables.

Thank you and good luck. Thanks to you, plenty of animals are thriving in this nation where there were once none.

If we breed these dear animals, this nation will become full of wildlife. I can't wait! Thanks to you, our nation's looking so full of life. Please keep up the good work.

All you have to do is pick up animals from all over the world and bring them here.

Then talk to me. I'll take the animals and give you some valuables for your efforts.

Thank you and good luck.

Barnette told me... about my husband Gram. I'm so sorry... Had I been stronger, this wouldn't have happened. Leon's Wife Please, Your Majesty.

He was doing what he considered his own duty...his calling.

To die in honor, fighting for you...

I'm sure he wouldn't have had it any other way. That's right. So please Miss Xelha, stop blaming yourself. ...Thank you. They will always live on in my memories. I brought back their personal belongings for you...

If only I could have handed them to you earlier... I'm so sorry... *crying* ... Your Majesty, please take these with you.

These Magnus once belonged to Sir Gram, and my husband.

I hope they'll be of some help. Golden Bugle Full Helm ...Thank you. I'll take good care of them. Phoenix Helm Birdie Fatale My husband...Gram told me before he left...

...that it was an honor to go with Queen ...

...that most people would long for such a position, so he would have to behave appropriately.

Was he...noble? Did he behave in a manner appropriate for a Knight of Wazn? My husband... I still clearly remember the day Gram left here.

I'm sure he was very proud to accompany Queen . That's how he was. My husband's smile still lingers in my thoughts, so...

Queen , I wish you wouldn't look so sad.

Please show the people of this nation a smile for him. I've finally stopped having depressing dreams about my husband.

I know he wouldn't want me to cry. So I've decided to smile instead.

Queen , please do your best to make all the people of this nation smile. This ceramic pot has been frosted over. Eel A pitcher and two glasses are on the small table.

I know this labyrinth like the back of my hand. If you want to know something about this place, just ask me. Pay attention to the direction you face. The color of the sky changes depending on which direction you're facing.

To the north you can see stars. To the south you can the see the moon. To the east you can see gold. To the west is a jasper gem. Keep this in mind and you should be okay. What else... Oh, this labyrinth is based on a five by five grid pattern layout.

If you know the structure of the whole thing, it's easier to understand your own position in the labyrinth, right? Now, hopefully you won't get lost anymore. Grandpa Quzman? I don't know much about him. I'll go to his house, though.

I'll leave when you've conquered the labyrinth. Until then, I'll be glad to help you.

I haven't talked to anyone for quite some time. I guess I'm lonely for some company. To the north you can see stars. To the south you can the see the moon. To the east you can see gold. To the west is a jasper gem. Keep this in mind and you should be okay.

I've waited long enough! That old goat! He has no clue whatsoever! That is Sir Krumly, chief of a neighboring village.

Please don't mind him.

He always gets worked up like that when talking with the Great Kamroh.

Their discussion seems to be over. The Great Kamroh will see you now. People without masks... Oh, you must be People of the Sky! How rare!

Hmm, even though you're called the People of the Sky, you don't seem all that different from us.

We're just a tad bit more charming, I suppose. I'm staying here. This is where my ancestors are buried.

Of course I want to stay alive, but I'm a Child of the Earth. My pride is more important than my life. How are the people who've gone up to the Sky?

Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm envious of them.

It's just that, I'm worried. Seriously. I heard that Malpercio has been revived and that his castle, Cor Hydrae, has re-emerged.

I wonder what's going to happen to the world... That person's not here at the moment. Gate Keeper Great Kamroh, the elder of Gemma Village, is just beyond this door.

But I can't let you go in right now.

Great Kamroh is in a very important meeting at the moment.

You should take a look around the village and come back again later. Looks like the important meeting has ended.

Krumly gets angry like that all the time. I heard that everyone's planning to take refuge in the Land of the Sky.

I'm going to pack as soon as I possibly can. This place is protected by a force field made by our ancestors. They were great wizards, so we don't fear the powers of darkness.

Even though they may come here, they won't be able to get in. So we're not worried. The force field has been broken? Oh my, oh my... Are we going to die? Am I going to die?

Oh, hey, I'll give you this. Even though it's just a Magnus, it still slows me down when I run. Sun Anklet The force field has been broken? Oh my, oh my... Are we going to die? Am I going to die? Oh, it's you, !! You came back safe and sound!

...But I received no notice from the port...which means you must have come through the Labyrinth? Great Mizuti took a wrong turn... just a little one. Nothing major... Ha ha ha, there's a port in this village, even though it hasn't been used for a while. Don't get lost when you come here next time, he he. You see that treasure chest over there? There's no way to reach it.

Our wizard ancestors put that treasure chest over there where no one can reach it, because they thought it would be a kick. It's been sitting there forever!

If I use light teleportation correctly, I might just be able to get to it...

But I haven't been able to get up there...I'm so bothered by the idea of what's inside that thing. I just can't sleep well at night... Until I discover what's inside that treasure chest, I won't move from this spot. I need to know, even if it involves risking my own life.

Follow the shimmering light...I've figured that much out. But what does it mean?... H-hey, how did you guys get to that treasure chest?!

No, that's not what I really want to ask. Inside?! What was inside?! Please tell me!! Please tell me what was inside! You gotta tell me!! Umm, hey, don't get so riled up about it... I don't mind telling him. I'm sorry, it's a secret. All right, I'll tell you. Inside was... What? What?! Ah-haa, it was an Earth Buckle...

Ahh, thank you! So that's what was inside...

Here's a symbol of my gratitude. It's not as good as the Earth Buckle, but please take it. Siegfried Yeah, we can't waste any more time here. Take care, man. What?! You won't tell me?! Oh no, this means more sleepless nights! Ah-haa, it was an Earth Buckle... Tell me about your adventures later on. Something awful seems to be happening. I'll have to hear 's adventure stories later.

Great will get rid of the bad guys quickly! And I'll tell you stories. The Great Kamroh is currently having a very important discussion.

Might I ask you to come back later? Old Woman with a Bracelet Quzman? I've heard that name somewhere... I don't remember where...

Ah! That's my ex-husband! I think...What about him? Aww, he's dying? That's horrible.

So I should go to see him, too? Okay, I'll go then. You want me to write my name here? Wahshiyah Is this okay? Umm, who was it again? And where is he?

Ah, I remember. I'll be fine. I think I can make it. Hopefully... ??? Yes? Do you need something from me? I don't need anything from you. A bracelet? What about it?

I wonder how my son, Sabin, is doing. He's adopted, but he's a really good boy. I wonder if he's still in Pherkad...

Oh, about the bracelet. My son has one, too. He's adopted...Oh, I told you already, didn't I? Hmm. What am I doing here... Oh, I did it again, didn't I?

I sometimes daydream when I walk. Then I find myself somewhere and I don't know how I got there.

Where am I? Who am I? You don't know? Of course you don't. Aha ha ha ha ha. I like it here, even though it's quite dangerous these days. It's dangerous but I can't leave. Why? I don't know...

Why? Hmm... I don't remember. Quzman, Quzman... Hmm, who was it again? And where is he?

Ah, I remember. I'll be fine. I think I can make it. Hopefully... Greythorne Squ-squeak. Meemai Squeak. Squeak squeak! Earth Buckle A-ha... So this is Great 's village. First, we must talk with the village elder. Everyone follow the Great . Too bad. I guess we could take a look around the village while we wait. I agree. I'm interested in how people live their lives here.

I'd like to talk to as many as I can. You be invited to stop by the Great Mizuti's place. Okay, let's go then. E0005B59 The Elder's Residence:02 Do you want to hear a story? Hmm...a story... Let's hear it. Maybe next time. Sure, let's hear your story. All right, here goes. Long, long ago... when the world was still lush, green, and had a blue Ocean...

there lived huge creatures with terrible powers.

People were awed by them, and called them gods...

The Lord of the Trees, of the Water, of the Clouds... They were sibling gods of Malpercio...

The wise and old Great Whale, living in the ocean, was one of the gods, too... In ancient times, gods and men maintained a peaceful existence.

Yet about a thousand years ago, a war erupted between them.

It is said that the cause of the conflict was man's invasion of the gods' territory,

in an attempt to expand their lands,

but no one knows exactly what happened.

Vicious battles ensued between god and man...Eventually, the men emerged victorious.

The creatures who followed the gods and fought for them were exiled, sent to a dark corner of another dimension,

along with their stronghold, Cor Hydrae. Our ancestors, the ancient Children of the Earth, were wizards.

Having defeated the gods after a long and arduous struggle, they decided to take the dead gods apart,

sealing each of them in five separate islands, and magically raising them into the sky.

The Earth had been ravaged and poisoned during the war,

so any future hope of survival was set afloat in the Sky.

Those islands are your homes, now...

Sadal Suud, Diadem, Anuenue, Mira and Alfard...

Five islands in the Sky.

Even after death, a strong power resided in the corpses of the gods.

The five floating islands have prospered until today largely due to the power of the gods buried within them. It is said that they buried the gods' bodies separately,

so as to prevent them from returning to this world ages later...

It is also said that different parts of the gods' bodies were chosen for burial, so that the islands in the Sky would each develop a unique culture,

resulting in diversity among the inhabitants of the Sky.

Yet, this worked against us.

Who could have imagined that, after so many years,

someone would attempt to fuse those parts together again? After the war with the gods, the wizards remained on the Earth.

They stayed to prevent poison that had engulfed the land from reaching the Sky, and also to purify their lands.

That is the purpose of the Taintclouds.

For a thousand years, now, the Taintclouds have covered the entire Earth, absorbing and purifying the poison that had seeped into it. Great Mizuti Great Kamroh, the Great Mizuti has just returned! Erm...is this...he...the Great Kamroh? Correct. Great Kamroh Welcome home, . It must have been awful for you up there in the Sky. Your efforts are appreciated. No problem. Any time. Piece of cake. People of the Sky, I bid you welcome to the village of Gemma.

It seems you've taken good care of our . Please accept my thanks... No, no, thank you. Thank you for helping us out of that tight spot the other day. called to us, so we hastily attempted a sealing spell...

Yet the power of the evil god was immense...Honestly speaking, I was unsure what would become of us. Without your help, we'd have been killed by Malpercio for sure.

Thank you so much. It was the least we could do.

As you must know from seeing our village,

we no longer possess the powers once wielded by the wizards of old.

A thousand years have passed since our people started living in these poisonous conditions.

Devastated from battles with the gods, our magic has all but withered away.

As I'm sure you recall from your confrontation with Malpercio, even the combined power of our villagers did little more than slow the creature down...

Many of us collapsed after the effort...

Regretfully, we no longer have the power nor the will as a people to leave the Taintclouds and face Malpercio.

But is a very strong child,

with potential rivaling that of the ancient wizards.

It's almost as if Mizuti were one of our ancestors, reincarnate...

Perhaps this potential is why the child has always been somewhat different from the others in our village.

I'd say it was a blessing in disguise for her to have gone up there and found all of you.

Although facing great dangers in the Sky, she needs companions such as you to help develop her potential. Sh..."she"? You...you mean the Great Mizuti is a...she? Oh, you didn't know? ...Learn something new every day. According to one of our village legends, a thousand years ago our ancestors used three sacred Artifacts to defeat the gods.

The Sword of the Heavens, the Ocean Mirror,

and the Earth Sphere. The Sword of the Heavens, the Ocean Mirror, and the Earth Sphere... And the Ocean Mirror is? The Ocean Mirror was given to the people of the Ice Lands by our ancestors.

It's been shattered, and the Earth Sphere is in pieces...

But the third Artifact, the Sword of the Heavens, is still safe here, in our lands.

It should prove a great help when facing Malpercio,

as it was against the gods some thousand years ago. Where can we find this Sword of the Heavens? It is kept in the Garden of Death, just north of this village. Here. Take this key...

Use it to unlock a door deep within the garden. Garden of Death Key All right. Let's go down there and get the Sword of the... ... ... You seem to have a mysterious friend with you. It is a pleasure making your acquaintance. The Children of the Earth welcome you, Brave Spirit. Nice to meet you. What was that?! Nice to meet you. Pardon me?! We welcome you, Brave Spirit. Nice to meet you. One more time! We welcome you, Brave Spirit. Nice to meet you. One more time, please! ... We welcome you, Brave Spirit. Hey, ! Knock it off. You have fought courageously side by side with your friends from the Sky.

Please strive on.

So that the world may not fall into darkness... ...you and your spirit friend just may be the key to restoring our world. ...? You should go, now. Please be careful. Also one more thing, ... ......? Those standing behind me are the keepers of the Children of the Earth's lore.

Their tales of this world's past may be of interest for you.

After all, our current struggles are also battles against our own past. It's possible that you and your friends are the key to saving our world.

Go now.

Please be careful. As soon as everyone's ready, we'll follow you up. You go on ahead for now. We did all we could... This place isn't safe anymore now that the tower's barrier is broken.

Malpercio's minions could come attack at any time. I agree. The Children of the Earth should move to the Sky, to Anuenue.

We must join forces if we hope to win. ...I see what you're saying.

I'll have everyone prepare right away. Once ready, our people will join you in the Sky. Please tell the people of Algorab to hurry, as well... Krumly You must be happy! This is your first class ticket out of here... !! ...I'm...terribly sorry. I didn't think it would come to this...

I...I will stay here... What are you talking about?! That's not going to solve anything! But... If you feel guilty for what you've done, the best thing to do is join the others up there, and fight for what's right...This battle's not gonna be pretty. Yes...you're right... I will. Well, why don't we head up first? Before you leave...take this, . ...? What be it? This mask has been passed on for generations among our village elders. It originally belonged to one of the ancient wizards.

I would like you to wear it. I will! The Great Mizuti thanks the Great Kamroh! Let's go! Broken Heaven Sword E0005B60 House 1:03 Great Mizuti Mizuti It's been two hundred years since a person of the Sky last came here.

I heard it was an evil man by the name of Calbren that came here last, and that he stole the Earth Sphere from this village.

Well, I only know bits and pieces from listening to stories... I never thought we would be going up there under these circumstances.

Well, that's okay. It's a little foolish to think like this, but I'm really looking forward to going up. I wonder what it's like up there. The treasure chest outside the village was left there by wizard ancestors from my family line.

There's a saying, "Follow the twinkling light." But I don't know if it's got anything to do with this. That person's not here at the moment. I wonder if old Krumly from the next village is still talking with the Great Kamroh.

Those people want to abandon their duty as Guardians, and get out from under the Taintclouds.

I understand how they feel...

He always argues with the Great Kamroh. Why can't he discuss matters in a more civilized manner? After all, Krumly got what he wanted.

But why do we have to rush?

I know there's nothing else we can do, but it's just not right. These masks were used as face guards to protect us from the polluted air.

By the time the air had returned to normal, wearing masks had become our custom.

Basically it's become fashionable among us!

Take a look at my mask collection. I have a lot.

For celebration, for regular use, for meals, for survival. Of course I air them out every now and then. Heh, I'm always ready for times like this. Emergency face guard!

This slit right here enhances the fit. It's a very comfortable mask.

You know, in an emergency situation, people usually run around panicking, right?

This mask is designed not to fall off in that sort of chaos.

...Hmm? You don't care? People from the next village have been dreaming about emigrating to the world above.

There's a rumor that when the Earth Sphere was stolen two centuries ago, they were somehow involved.

I heard they tried to change the situation.

Oh, it's just a rumor though. Kee's Mother Oh, dear !! I'm so glad you came back safely!

My little boy hasn't been very cheerful since dear left.

Please come and see my son after you see your parents. He'll be so happy. We have to get ready to go up.

Hey, , how's the weather up there in the Sky? Do you think I'll be okay wearing this? Kee's Father I wish Kee was strong like you, .

Well, maybe not so strong that he'll run away from home and wander afar whenever he feels like it! Ha ha ha! My wife worries about what she wears even in situations like this!

It's not like we're going on a picnic or something. Listen, .

This is a crucial moment for you, your friends, and the world. I just want to wish you all good luck! Koh I'm glad you're doing okay.

I heard you had quite an adventure.

I really want to hear your stories when we have more time...

I feel...a little sad... We're also going up above.

The first thing we have to do up there is tend to the injured.

, you and your friends go ahead and do what you have to do.

, you're the hope and the pride of our people. Good luck to you, and be careful. Kay Please take good care of my .

And , stop calling yourself "Great ," okay? We're leaving the world in your hands. Please be careful.

And please...take good care of . Some dusty old books are sitting here. They must be from ancient times. A broken face guard is lying in the drawer. A label on the drawer says "Kee's TreAsurEs." Large Teamug There are many letters addressed to from her parents in the drawer. There's a pot full of wood scraps. An appetizing smell wafts your way from the pot. Many of the ingredients inside it are unfamiliar to you. Oakwood There's a pot full of eggshells. Father, mother, I be home! ?! Oh, I don't believe it!

How could you go up there all by yourself?! Do you have any idea how worried I was? Come now, dear. Our child has returned to us safely.

Mizuti just couldn't sit still after finding out that something terrible was happening to the world involving the Earth Sphere stolen from our ancestors.

Besides, considering what Mizuti has accomplished, I am truly impressed.

I'm proud of the kid! Ditto! There you go again. You're spoiling our child, you know.

Anyway, I am so happy to see you home safe. Welcome back, . Good to be back home, Dear Mother! So...all this really happened up there...

To tell you the truth, is the most powerful wizard in this village.

Perhaps Mizuti was much more sensitive to the dangers up above than any of us were.

About a month ago, Mizuti said someone needs to check on the outside world,

and just flat out left.

We were so worried...

But our child is back home again, safe and sound thanks to all of you.

Our apologies for any mischief Mizuti may have caused you. Oh, no, don't mention it...

The Great saved the day more than once... The Great ? Mizuti...you're not calling yourself "Great" again, are you? Hmmm...Well...Erm... Mizuti! How many times do I have to tell you?

A truly great person would never show off his importance. ... Come now, come now.

It's been a while since we last got together as a family. I wouldn't be so picky... On the other hand, , your mother is right in a way. I wouldn't feel comfortable calling myself "The Great Koh." It's just not polite. ...Gotcha. Point has been taken. Speaking of "Great," have you had a chance to talk with the Great Kamroh?

He was really worried about you. You should go let him know you're safe. But the Great Kamroh, he be having an important discussion. An important discussion? ...Ah, I think I know who he's talking with. I heard Sir Krumly's in town.

If it's him, their talk shouldn't last too long.

I don't think they have much to discuss. Understood. Then Mizuti will go say hullo. Yes, you go along and do that. Behave yourself when you talk to the Great Kamroh. You hear me? Of course. Okay. Let's go, everyone. E0005B67 House 2:04 Clucker Cluck, cluck. Cluck, cluck. Cock-a-doodle-doo!! We already have a Clucker. Isn't that enough? We already have a Clucker already. One is enough for us. Is this one okay, ? That one's fine. I want a different one. Looks like only one was left behind. Do you wanna catch it, ? Looks like only one was left behind. Do you want to catch it, Let's catch it. Let's leave it. Clucker What's this? Is this Rubber Mud?! You went through the trouble to get this for me?

Oh, I'm so glad! Now I can repair my shop. Thank you!

If I use the Rubber Mud you gave me, repairing the shop will be a cinch. I'll open up the shop right away.

Oh yeah, before I forget, these are just small tokens of my appreciation. Power Blade Sacred Helm Excuse me, young lady. Could I have a look at that pendant you're wearing? Hmm? Of course. Thank you. Hmm...very interesting. Have you folks ever heard of an ancient artifact called the Earth Sphere?

's ancestors, the great wizards of old, made it to seal the bodies of the dead gods within the five islands.

I believe that pendant of yours is the Earth Sphere itself.

Yet it seems to have been shattered. So what you have there is actually only a piece of the Earth Sphere. So this is the Earth Sphere... Two hundred years ago, a man named Calbren came down from the Sky.

He stole the Earth Sphere from us, and took it back to the Sky with him.

It must've been owned by a great many people through the ages, yet here it is again, back in our lands.

A twist of fate, perhaps? Lord Calbren's ancestor? He stole the Earth Sphere? I guess since Lord Calbren's ancestor stole it, it was stored at the Duke's Manor for quite a while.

Then Melodia must have found it there, and secretly passed it on to Geldoblame... Then you swiped it from him. It all makes sense now. So the Earth Sphere was used to seal the gods' parts as End Magnus deep underground...

...which is why it could also be used to awaken them. Young lady, even though it may be broken, the Sphere is still a very sacred Artifact.

It may prove useful to you someday. Please keep it safe. Yes, I will. You can now use a piece of the pendant as a Broken Earth Sphere! Woman About a year ago...Our elder, the Great Kamroh, had a vision. It foretold the rebirth of an evil god.

Ever since then, we've been paying a great deal of attention to the Nations of the Sky.

As the seals of the End Magnus were broken one by one, even down here beneath the Taintclouds, we could feel an evil power brewing.

We no longer wield the power held by the great wizards of old.

There was little we could do to stop such an evil from resurfacing.

must have overheard the adults talking about it and set off immediately, trying to save the world alone. Wow.

To save the world alone... That's pretty reckless for a Great . Oh, this is rare. Are you travelers?

I bet you came from the Sky to buy something unusual here, didn't you?

I'm sorry to tell you this, but there's no clerk in the village shop.

I'm actually one of the clerks, and look at me. I'm just standing here, spacing out with nothing to do.

If you've gone in the shop already, you can see what a mess it is. It's in pretty poor condition.

There's this material, called Rubber Mud, that can be found in the Garden of Death. I could reinforce the damaged parts and reopen the shop if I had it...

I'm too afraid to go there myself, and I doubt there's anyone kind enough to go all the way out there to get the mud for me.

So, having said that, you should forget about shopping in this village. There's this material called "Rubber Mud," that can be found in the Garden of Death. I could reinforce the damaged parts and reopen the shop if I had it...

I'm too afraid to go there myself, and I doubt there's anyone kind enough to go all the way out there to get the mud for me. The Promised Land... Hmm, if you ever go to the Garden of Death, please be careful.

It used to be a very beautiful garden. Now it's called the Garden of Death, and for good reason.

Sap from deformed trees has mixed with the mud, and now it covers the entire garden.

If you could find a path with a foothold, it'd be okay, but if not, it will be very difficult to proceed. That person's not here at the moment. But if hadn't gone up there for us, and shown us where Malpercio was...

There's no way we could have cast a spell on him from here.

It's a very dangerous spell, you know.

It must've been very risky for you, . I'm sorry we left you in a position where you had to take the brunt of the battle...

We'll run for now, as you wish, but we're always ready to help you. Wasn't that "bound spell" we cast on the ancient god incredible? You know, back in Mintaka.

All of the villagers combined their strength to cast it. Everyone lost consciousness afterwards... It was really quite a feat.

But it wasn't that difficult. As Guardians, it's our duty. Greetings, People of the Sky. How does it feel to live up above? Is it nice up there?

Oh, here's something for you. It's sort of a welcoming present.

I don't think you can use it for anything, though. Boötes Hmm? You can use it for something? Humph, I doubt that. But at least it's beautiful, isn't it?

It's only good for prettyin' up your pocket I suppose. Since the Great Kamroh's dream, which foretold the rebirth of that evil god, we've been worried about the Land of the Sky.

We knew that the seals of the End Magnus had been released one after another, and that the world was being consumed by evil.

But since we don't have the power of the ancient wizards, all we could do was stand and watch.

But Mizuti probably overheard what the adults were talking about.

Mizuti went to go take care of things all alone. Hmm? How can I help you? What am I...doing?

I'm taking care of the Cluckers. It's my turn this week.

What? You want a Clucker?

Hmmm, I guess you can have one. Since we're friends now, you can have whichever one you want. Since we're friends now, you can have whichever one you want. Hmm? How can I help you? What am I...doing?

I'm taking care of the Cluckers. It's my turn this week.

These Cluckers are a very valuable source of food for us. There's a drawer with "DANGER! DO NOT OPEN!" written on it. If we're told not to, wouldn't we want to open it? Isn't that what we call "human nature," ? I totally agree. I don't think it's a good idea. See? Okay then, I'm opening it.

Huh? It's only a Magnus. Slight Debt Really? Well, if you say so, , I won't open it. STOCK SHELF : EMPLOYEES ONLY is written here. Peanuts You look closer at the pots lined up neatly, and see price tags. Perhaps they're lined up to be sold. Clucker poop is piled high. It kind of stinks... Eggs are bobbing up and down in the boiling pot. -- Capella, Garden of Death -- E0005B6E Garden 1:01 E0005B75 Garden 2:02 Flashy Earrings E0005B7C Garden 3:03 Full Plate Whitecap Shield Purple Rose Hmm? It won't open... Looks like it's locked. Great Mizuti The key for this door be with the Great Kamroh. I see.

If we wanna see what's in this place, looks like we're gonna have to go see the Great Kamroh. E0005B83 Inside Bower:04 Great Mizuti The Sword of the Heavens be here. ...Well, I don't see it. On the pedestal, over there... There's nothing there. ... It looks like something had been lodged in it.

Could someone have taken it? Let's get outta here. -- Algorab Village -- E0005B8A Shop:00 Conversation with a store clerk in Algorab, unprocessed E0005B91 Outside:01 Inferno Cannon You're from the lands in the Sky, right?

What's it like to run around under the clear, blue Sky? It's no use... There's nothing we can do... Well, he hasn't told me directly, but from the looks of it, things didn't go too well. "Didn't go too well?" I'll tell you what, I can't stand living here beneath these wretched Taintclouds anymore! We all agree on that, including our Mayor. He must have something in mind. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeak. Squ-squeak. This is terrible! How could they? I don't like playing tag... It's so hard to breathe...

*cough* *splutter*... when you're running around...

They say the air in the Sky is much cleaner...is it true? Is it really easier to breathe up there? Damn you, Melodia! We'll get you for this!! No, you must wait. Great Kamroh You're too vulnerable to take on the evil god at this stage.

Let us handle things here. You should return to your lands in the Sky.

Take the Sword of the Heavens with you. But... It would be foolish of you to die in vain.

Besides, this is our duty as the Children of the Earth. Great Mizuti Mizuti will fight with you! Kay Mizuti, you must go with them.

Your father and I, and everyone in this village, have a duty to fulfill. A duty that is different from yours. But...But...Mother! Koh You must carry on, Mizuti, as the very last hope and pride of the Children of the Earth.

You know you have to survive. You have a mission to accomplish.

Besides, you underestimate our powers, your mother's and mine...

Though we may not be of your caliber as wizards,

you have no idea how far a parent would go to save his child.

Rest assured, Mizuti. Father! Mother! Mizuti...what you did for us was truly wonderful.

You led your friends from the Sky here, so we could meet them. We could never thank you enough.

We hope that you and your friends will be able to save our world... Mother!! You must go, Mizuti. It's all up to you now. Please take care of our Mizuti. I beg of you. Kee Don't worry, Mizuti! You'll be proud of us! Kid Good luck, Mizuti! We're counting on you! Kee...Everyone... Let us go, now.

Even though our powers have diminished, we still have our pride and will!

A battle fought with heart is never lost! Let's go, Kalas, Great Mizuti.

The people of this village must do what they have to do.

We can't die here...Not now! I know. Come on...Great Mizuti... Melodia!! No! Why did you come back?! All hope is lost... Melodia You will never learn, will you? Coming back to face certain death? So, where's Krumly gone to? Did he manage to talk some sense into the Great Kamroh? The Mayor came back a short while ago, but he left again in a hurry.

I wonder what's on his mind...

Maybe his meeting didn't go so well in Gemma Village. Take a look at this water. Does it look dirty to you?

A merchant came down to our village a while back, and was shocked at how muddy the water is.

It's because of the Taintclouds. Their reflection makes the water look filthy...at least to those from the Sky. Hey, you in the back. The little one. You're from Gemma, right?

You people still talking about sealing the evil god, and all that nonsense?

We Children of the Earth lost those powers ages ago.

Do you really intend to continue going through the motions of that tired old habit?

That's all it is, you know. A thousand year old habit. You people should wake up and face reality. Hmmm. Travelers from the Sky, coming down to take a look at Algorab Village? How unusual.

Did you come down here to laugh at us? We who live in a land where it's hard to get a decent breath of air? Guardians, duties, tradition... It's all a thousand years old.

Why should we follow rules made by folks who've been dead for the last millennium?

We should live our own lives, by our own rules. It's as simple as that. Is that too much to ask? E0005B98 The Elder's Residence:02 Cherries Aries Countless candles are placed on the altar, all lit. A book catches your eye... "The Ideal Village Mayor - Revised by Krumly"

Looks like a self-sponsored publication. A kitchen made of stone, as clean as a kitchen could be. Greythorne Squeak... Meemai Squeak squeak. Do you have some sort of business with our Mayor? Why yes, as a matter of fact. There's something we'd like to ask him... He just left a few minutes ago. He said he was going to offer the Sword of the Heavens to a god. W...what?! Are you sure about that? But isn't this place protected from gods by a magic field, cast by ancient wizards? He said he'd go to Zosma Tower, at the center of the enchantment,

dispel the magic shield, and allow Malpercio to enter... "Algora Sauce," "Duhr Vinegar"... An impressive selection of seasonings... ...!! Great Mizuti This be bad, Kalas. Must hurry! Something's cooking, though you have no idea what it could be. The smell isn't bad, though. You see partially prepared food, lying neglected... Something is shining inside the pot... There's nothing left in the pot. Flowers of various colors are floating in the water.

Likely the source of the strong scent filling the room. More and more of our villagers are thinking of leaving for the lands in the Sky—by any means possible.

I cannot really blame them. Even as we pray, we can feel our magic fading away... The Mayor has left for Zosma Tower. He told us he intends to break the magic field, and summon Malpercio.

I know we're running out of options, but I wonder if he's gone too far. Zosma Tower is at the center of the magic field created by the Ancient Wizards.

It has always been considered a sacred place, usually off-limits to all.

The Tower itself has a multitude of traps to keep intruders away. Every once in a while, we go in and hold a ritual there just to make sure the magic field is safe.

It's pitch-black inside the Tower, so we take plenty of fire with us to light the way. This is terrible... You've seen how it is outside, haven't you?

I, too, must leave for the lands in the Sky. I cannot bear this life any longer... E0005B9F House 1:03 Curry Divorce Papers A kitchen made of stone, as clean as a kitchen could be. A flame is burning fervently. A single candle is lit, probably as a source of light. You see various kinds of food, stacked up neatly. You see a series of unglazed pots. Picking one up and looking at its base reveals Krumly's signature. A book catches your eye... "The People of Duhr: Customs and Courtesies" A book catches your eye... "Devourer of the Taintclouds—Tale of a Hero" You people are so lucky. You've been living it up in the Nations of the Sky.

We're fed up with living here beneath the Taintclouds. Fed up, I tell you!

Try to imagine living here, stuck in this hellhole...

It might give you an idea, just an inkling of an idea, of what we go through each and every day... I was sick of this life, that much I admit...

But I didn't think it would turn out this way...

I was hoping to go to the lands in the Sky, but not like this... My husband is complaining more and more about this life...

He has never even visited the lands above, though.

He just always thinks the grass is greener on the other side, somewhere he's never even been.

It's sad when one can no longer respect his own homeland. E0005BA6 House 2:04 Cassiopeia Why do we have to live our lives down here, under these wretched Taintclouds?!

Why have we spent an entire millennium keeping watch over the End Magnus and the Sword of the Heavens?

Is it our destiny? The ultimate fate of the Children of the Earth? Utter nonsense!!

How would you feel, stuck with responsibilities you never asked for?! Calm down, now... Soon, in the near future, we'll be leaving for the lands in the Sky.

The Children of the Earth will be released from this ancient burden. Yes, our day is coming... This smell, this scent, this fragrance... It must be liquor. A book catches your eye... "Stars that Riddle the Night Sky" Yeah, you've got a point there...

Now that Malpercio's seal has been broken, there's no reason for us to stay down here. You see an assortment of white dishes, a rare color in Duhr. A kitchen made of stone, as clean as a kitchen could be. A flame is burning fervently. A single candle is lit, probably as a source of light. Looks like someone had a nightcap. You're tempted to follow suit... Rolls of white cloth are stacked here, probably waiting to be dyed. You see vegetables being pickled in a smelly, mud-like mixture... Our men want to leave for the Sky, but not all of us women feel that way.

A life without the Taintclouds hovering over us does sound appealing,

but we can bear and raise our children as we are now.

After all, we've managed to live this way for the last thousand years.

Maybe we should be content with what we have. -- Zosma Tower -- E0005BAD Dungeon 1:01 Maybe we should have followed Krumly to the top. Nonsense! Think of what you're saying. You know very well that this tower is crawling with monsters. Anyway, it's too late, now. Huh? What are you doing here? This is a restricted area. Hey...wait. You look quite strong, and I see a spark of confidence in your eyes.

We weren't able to stop Krumly and some of the villagers from going in. They're climbing up the tower as we speak.

I'm willing to let you pass if you'll agree to stop them. It's pretty obvious what we should do. Isn't it, ? Let's stop him. Let's leave. Of course we'll go after him. That's why we came in the first place. Ha ha ha! Great! You don't know how glad I am to hear that! We're depending on you! I'll go back to the village and let everyone know what's happened. Ask my partner here for more details about this tower. Very well, then. Allow me to explain how this tower works. Hey, ! You know that if we don't follow Krumly, we'll be in serious trouble.

Okay, I get it, . You've got some kind of plan brewing, right? Sorry guys, but we're gonna have to think about it. I'm sorry to hear that. I thought you would be willing to stop him. Oh. Did you change your mind? We'll let you pass if you stop Krumly. So how about it? What should we do, ? Of course we'll go. We came here in the first place to stop Krumly. First of all, light this lamp and see what happens. Try putting your weight up against the block. It should respond by moving. Try climbing the blocks. If you can't do that, then you won't even be able to leave this floor. If you put out the lamp, the blocks will return to their initial positions. Remember that. Listen up. One of the most important devices in this tower is the lamp beside me. Unless you light it, not only will you be standing in a dark room, but the tower won't be functioning fully.

Try lighting the lamp. If you need something to light it with, use flames from the small fire burning behind me. Once the lamp's lit, the entire floor brightens up, right? At the same time, you've also rendered the blocks functional.

Do you see the red block over there? Yes, that red one. Blocks like that are the key to solving this tower's puzzles. Go over there and stand next to it. Now try pushing up against it. Put all your weight into it. I'm sure you'll have no trouble moving it. That's it. It's easy, right? Glad to see you're a quick learner.

What I'm going to say next is important, so listen up.

Unless the lamp is lit, you won't be able to move the blocks.

If you extinguish the lamp, the blocks will return to their initial positions.

That's just how this tower works. Don't ask me why because I don't know, either.

Oh, I almost forgot. You can also climb onto blocks. Go ahead and try climbing one. It's not only blocks. You can also climb onto other objects of similar height.

If you find something that looks climbable, give it a try.

More often than not, you should find yourself able to climb it, whatever it is. Okay, I know you've been dying to do this...Let's try dropping the red block into the shiny green hole.

Go ahead. If you fail, you know how to start over, right? That's it for the basic lessons. Now let me tell you about the blue and yellow blocks.

The blue blocks will always be protruding from the wall, you can only push them in. The yellow blocks, which will be moving up and down, function as elevators.

If you run out of flames, hop on the yellow block and return to restock from the small fire on this floor.

Well, that's it for my tutorial. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Good luck! I'll explain how the tower works as often as you need. So, what would you like to know? Kalas What should I ask him about, ? The lamp. The blocks. The tower itself. I think I got it. Unless you first light the lamp, the blocks won't budge. Always remember that you will have to first light the lamp.

If you extinguish the flame, the blocks will return to their initial positions. Don't forget that either.

Well, those are the important points. Do you want to know anything else? You can both move and climb onto the blocks. Follow your intuition. You'll know when to climb. That's it. I knew you'd get it! It'll just come to you. Well, there are red, blue, and yellow blocks. Blue blocks can only be pushed into the wall. Yellow blocks function as elevators.

That's about it. Is there anything else you want to know? This tower has five floors and a roof. I suspect Mr. Krumly has reached the roof located above the fifth floor by now.

Also below thi—...Oops! Forget I said that. This tower has five floors and a roof. You probably saw Mr. Krumly up there on the roof.

Also below thi-...Oops! Forget I said that. Hey, wait! You shouldn't drop the block in there yet! Hey, wait! Please don't leave yet. I still haven't finished telling you about this tower. This is Zosma Tower. None are allowed to enter. Begone! Make haste! You want advice, do you? I'm just the man to help. So, what do you want to know?

...Hey, you've been to the top already? In that case, I've got nothing more to teach you. The type of puzzles in the lower and upper floors are the same. The key to both is to wisely use the lamp and the blocks.

I think you'll find the lower floors more challenging. Don't rack your brain too much, okay? How do you like the lower floors? The puzzles are harder and really make you think, don't they?

If you can reach B5, the very last floor, then you've mastered the Zosma Tower! Oops, I almost forgot to tell you. The levitating red blocks are a little different than the ones on the ground.

You'll find some up on the next floor. Push 'em and they go swishhhhh BAM. You'll have to try it yourself to see what I mean. I'm sure you'll get it right away. Good luck. Hey wait! You want to go down, right? The lower levels are more difficult than the upper ones.

The floor below is especially tough. Think about using multiple red blocks together.

Watch the blocks' movements closely, and time your actions. Good luck. Firedrake Barrette What are you doing?! Don't put out the fire! We need its flames. We've already cleared this floor. No reason to put out the flame now. Great Mizuti Hmm! I sense something be moving below us! Let's find a way to get down there. I suppose this was inevitable. I didn't want to cause you unnecessary trouble, so I kept this a secret.

Now that you've found out, there's no point in trying to stop you, right?

If you need my advice, come talk to me anytime. I'll tell you everything I know. E0005BB4 Dungeon 2:02 We've already cleared this floor. No reason to put out the flame now. If the flame goes out, all the blocks will return to their initial positions. E0005BBB Dungeon 3:03 We've already cleared this floor. No reason to put out the flame now. If the flame goes out, all the blocks will return to their initial positions. Burning Shield E0005BC2 Dungeon 4:04 What do you say, ? Let's listen. Not right now. Old Man with a Bracelet Somewhere within this tower lies the Delinquency Stone. That stone is my heart's desire.

But this tower, with its blocks to push and climb, is too strenuous for an old man like me to deal with.

If you can bring me the stone, and show it to me before I die, then I'll go see Quzman. Hmm...that's too bad. Give my best regards to Quzman. I'm giving up on the Delinquency Stone. Just hand me the Family Tree! Let's see. I can't remember the last time I wrote my name. Rabbih I've lived a full life. Sorry I'm breaking a promise, but this old body of mine can't hold on any longer.

Tell Quzman that I'll be waiting for him in heaven! ... Rabbih has passed away, but you have completed Quzman's genealogy. Quzman is indeed my brother. I assume this means I have a spot in your Family Tree.

I don't have much time left. Since you've brought me the Delinquency Stone, I'll sign it for you right away. We've already cleared this floor. No reason to put out the flame now. If the flame goes out, all the blocks will return to their initial positions. Rhapsody How rare. A visitor...*cough* *cough* What made you come here?

Well, the reason isn't important. Just don't make too much of a ruckus. The moving stones really irritate me. *cough* *cough* Me? I'm...*cough* *cough* I'm looking for a stone. But not just any stone.

It's an out-of-place artifact. Do you know what that is?

I've waited for years for the Zosma Tower to be unsealed so that I could begin my search. An out-of-place artifact. Do you know what that is?

I've waited for years for the Zosma Tower to be unsealed so that I could begin my search. This is truly a divine provision. My time is limited. I'm going to use this final opportunity to grab that stone. That's the Delinquency Stone! I've finally seen it with my own eyes! You want to give me the stone?

Now that I possess the stone, I can die a happy man. Thank you very much.

Hmm? That Family Tree you have. It looks familiar. Could that be Quzman's?!

That old cheat...still alive, is he? Well then. Let me sign it for you now. At some later date, I just might be dead already. Could it be?! This is indeed the Delinquency Stone! To finally see it with my own eyes after all these years...Thank you.

Now that my last wish has been granted, I can die without any regrets.

Please...Hand me the Family Tree so that I can sign it for you. Indeed. My name's Rabbih. You came here on behalf of Quzman?

So...Quzman is still alive. What? He wants his entire family to be present at his death bed?

I don't mind the request itself, but I have a request of my own. Will you do me one favor? I don't want to help you unless you do me a favor. Have you changed your mind? I don't want to give away my signature until my dream is fulfilled. I don't have much time left.

The Delinquency Stone's somewhere in this tower. Please bring it to me. E0005BC9 Dungeon 5:05 We've already cleared this floor. No reason to put out the flame now. If the flame goes out, all the blocks will return to their initial positions. E0005BD0 Rooftop:06 Krumly!! Krumly You're the ones I saw at Kamroh's place. Humph. I had a feeling you'd come.

Only simpletons would dare defy Malpercio. ...What do you want with the Sword of the Heavens? I'm joining up with Malpercio. This Sword will be my offering to him. What?! No way!! Now that we Children of the Earth have lost our powers,

there is no way we would be able to defeat and seal the resurrected Malpercio, as our ancestors did a thousand years ago.

Given the circumstances, siding with the evil god in order to survive is a far wiser plan.

We'll finally be freed from this filthy prison beneath the Taintclouds.

I've always longed to climb up to the Sky and live a free life. You don't understand! This world is doomed unless we defeat Malpercio! You're the one that doesn't understand, girl.

Had you lived a thousand years beneath the Taintclouds as our people have, you would certainly have a different view on life. ... I heard Malpercio was awakened by the daughter of the Calbren family.

We once helped the Calbrens' ancestor take the Earth Sphere from these lands.

Their heir will no doubt welcome us, should we present her with the Sword of the Heavens. Great Mizuti Big mistake, Krumly! Hand over the Sword! Heh, .

Your people, the villagers of Gemma, tried to cast a spell on the god, and failed miserably.

Now that he's awake, there's no stopping him! Break the magic field! No! Stop it!! Hark, Malpercio! Divine being, awakened from a thousand years of slumber!

Save us, the Children of the Earth, from beneath the Taintclouds, lead us to our destiny! Ohh! Ohh! Look at the sky! It's the divine light! Melodia!! Melodia Why, there you are, Kalas. I was beginning to wonder where you had flown to.

How very convenient. I'll dispose of you later. O heir of Calbren, I present you with the Sword of the Heavens...

Let us lay aside our past, that which took place over a millenium ago, and pray take us to the lands in the Sky,

to a new world order, under rule of Malpercio! Don't do it, Krumly!! Wh...Why?! How foolish of you, to even think of haggling with a god.

Malpercio will have no dealings with bugs like you. This can't be... It's time to repay you, for your ancestors' deeds of a thousand years ago.

The Children of the Earth will perish. Every last one of you.

The wrath of a god endures forever! I see...

The sword that slew the gods a thousand years ago has not lost its power.

Fair enough, I'll take care of you later. Let us first eliminate the others. Oh no!! Where are they going?! The village...they're headed for Algorab Village!! We have to stop them! Everyone to the village! Sword of the Heavens E0005BD7 Basement First Floor:07 We've already cleared this floor. No reason to put out the flame now. If the flame goes out, all the blocks will return to their initial positions. A mysterious stone is coming out. This must be the Delinquency Stone! Do you want to take it, ? Let's take it. We don't need it. The Delinquency Stone is coming out. This is what Rabbih has been looking for.

We're gonna take it, right? ? The Delinquency Stone is coming out. This is what Rabbih has been looking for.

Are we going to take it? ? The Delinquency Stone is coming out. Do you want it, ? Yes. I want it. No, I don't want it. Magna Essence of Delinquency Stone has been extracted into a Blank Magnus!

Ancient Wizards Why do you disturb my slumber? Great Kamroh The world is in dire straits due to the resurrection of Malpercio.

We come to ask you for the Ring of Stars, which you have wielded in times past. Hmm... And do you deserve to receive the Ring of Stars? Krumly Uumph... Ugh... Kee You! Ow... Very disappointing. The Ring of Stars will not be wielded by the likes of you. Great Mizuti Stop! Stop! Stop it! The Great won't allow this to happen! !! ...So you have come... Hmmm...and who might you be? Great Mizuti . The Great ! Just wait. There. You be all right, Kee? Yeah...it's nothing. Why not wait for the Great Mizuti? The Great Mizuti would never let Kee down. Because you're out doing your best... Fighting so hard for us...

I wanted to do something for you... No, no, no... Kee doesn't need to worry about that.

The Great be fighting for everybody. No, that's not the way it should be...

When we would go out together, you'd always call yourself "the Great " and take the lead,

so the monsters would ignore us and attack you.

But you no longer need to be the Great for us.

We'll fight with you, . Maybe we won't be that much use,

but we'll do our best.

All of us should work together, every one of us, not just...one mighty hero.

Just be , just the way you are, okay? Kee... Okay... Kee should get a little rest. Be careful, . Okay. The Great Mizuti be ready!! The Great be here for the Ring of Stars.

Show the Great what you've got! Alias Fall Wow, Mizuti! You're as great as always! No no no... It be thanks to Kee, the Great Kamroh, Krumly, everyone! ... But, then again,

The Great Mizuti still deserves to be called the Great... Kay Koh Come now, my dear. Why don't we let it pass just this once. Oh, dear me. Father will never learn... No he won't. Father and Mother Mizuti! Erm...yes? E0005BFA Harbor Let's ride the White Dragon, . Shall we ride the White Dragon, ? Okay, let's ride! Not now. Greythorne Squeak squeak! Meemai Squeak. Squ-squeak. Squeeeak. Squeak squeak. Kid We're counting on you, Mizuti!

He's such a coward, even when the Great Kamroh's with him. Mizuti! Mizuti, it's awful!

A little while ago, the Great Kamroh and a few others went deep into Zosma Tower.

Kee followed them! Great Mizuti Kee, too?

Why did you not stop him?! We tried, but he wouldn't listen.

When he heard that the Great Kamroh was going to try to restore the Ring of Stars for you,

he wanted to help... Kee!! E0005C01 Taintclouds Passage Yeah, let's go back and help them. No, we can't risk it. Yes, let's go back and help them. No, we can't risk it. What's wrong, Kalas? Suppose we escape, but leave everyone to die.

Even if we do save the world, could you live with yourself? That's my partner! Well then, sorry, partner. I'm following my own heart this time. Okay, let's get back into action. You ready, Great Mizuti?! ... I didn't come this far to watch those innocent people get slaughtered. No way. The future of our world may depend on whether we can return to the Sky with this Sword. I know...

But if the only future we have means leaving these people to die, then I want no part of it.

Besides, I don't intend to lose. I was waiting for you to say that, Kalas. What do you think, ? -- Cor Hydrae Castle -- E0005C08 Passage 1:01 E0005C0F Open Space right inside the Castle:02 Fire Burst Lv 6 Chronos Blow 6 Yeah, let's go back. No, we should be okay. Yes, let's go back. No, we should be okay. You wanna go back, ? Okay, let's get ready and come back later. What is it? Umm...Nothing... Heh. Let's get a move on! We don't have time for ghost stories! What the...What are they?! Oh no... The gods...The ones they crafted the End Magnus with?! What? Ghosts of the gods? This just gets better and better. It seems we may have more trouble than we bargained for... Great Mizuti The Great Mizuti be invincible. Utterly. Totally...but not against ghosts. Not quite. Exception. Don't worry. If we can hit them, we can defeat them. You be sure? Positive... I hate ghosts, too. E0005C16 Great Hall:03 You feel a strong power emanating from the pattern on the floor.

It reminds you of the uneasy feeling you had when confronting the gods. That light... It wasn't there when we first came, right? It must be shimmering because we defeated that god...

Defeating all five gods must be the key, if we want to move on. All five of 'em, huh? That's what it looks like... There's no other choice. Looks like we managed to break the seal.

You have nothing to worry about, as everyone outside will be catching up very soon... Welcome, my friends, to the Throne Room of the Gods! You arrived just in time, for the feast is about to begin. Melodia! How are you, Kalas?

How do you feel after shedding those beautiful white wings, reverting from the white raven that you could have been, to a pathetic, black goat? Melodia. We came for you. Let's go home, together. Go home? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!

Home, you say? You have a way with words. Do you really think I'll let you leave this room alive? I guess it's about time to wrap things up.

Better safe than sorry, right? Man with a Bracelet Huh? I haven't seen people wearing clothes like that in this city before. You been traveling around the islands?

What a life. I'm a migrant worker from the Sadal Suud Frontier.

Have you ever been to Cebalrai? My wife is still there... Oh, I'm sorry to bore you like this. This town has too many people and too many machines. The air is dirty and everything's a mess. I'm getting really sick of this place.

I'll bet that sounds weird coming from a mechanic. Why do I work here in Mintaka? Money! There's a lot more to be made here.

I think I'll work for a few more years, then return home to a slow-paced life in Cebalrai. Do I know Quzman? The one from Pherkad? He's my father...what about him?

No! In critical condition? Only a few days left to live? Are you sure? Oh, Lord! I have to hurry back.

Huh? I can't go back unless I give you my signature? All right. After I'm done with today's work, I'll go straight home. Thanks for letting me know. Has my wife in Cebalrai gone back, too?

You open it and find something inside. Apple Pie (Slice) Bright light is coming in from the window. A toolbox is on the shelf. Seems like the owner of the house likes to work on machines. Mmm...Mmmmmm... , you're awake. Good morning. Are you all right?

You looked like you were having a nightmare... Where is he? Where's Malpercio?! Gone...He flew away with Melodia. I see... I...I know I have no right to say this.

I won't ask you to forgive me.

Once everything's over, I'll do anything to make up for what I've done... But for now...I really need your help again. Will you stand with me?

Melodia and Malpercio must be stopped!

We can't put this behind us. Please! I beg you, everyone! You too, .

Just one last time... Help me! Tsk. Guess we might as well. You're one hell of a kid to babysit, you know that? Well, it's true we have to do something about Melodia and Malpercio.

As we'll have to face them eventually... we might as well face them together. Great Mizuti The Great always knew! Basic. Elementary. That would come back. ...There's strength in numbers, but numbers are a luxury we lack. How about you, ? Huh? Me? Well... Heh. You hardly need to ask her.

You all saw what happened. Without her one-track mind, we wouldn't have gotten this far. Yes, you can say that again. The Great Mizuti agrees wholeheartedly! Xelha's reckless rush-to-the-rescue said it all! Banzai!!!!! ...I agree. Come on, what are you guys talking about?! It's not what you think it is! You feelin' all right, ? You're beet red in the face. !! Hey, Kalas! You gonna sit there forever, or what? Yeah...er...I mean, no. ...! My Winglet... You kept it for me? I thought you just might need it again... ... Whad'ya know, I'm back in action, Gramps... What about you, ? You'll come with us, right? Yeah, I'll go with you. No, thanks. Yes, I'll go with you. Sorry, but no thanks. Thank you, . ...

...Thank you. I'm having trouble hearing what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure that was a yes. Well, here it goes... ... Erm...Heya, ... It's great...to have you back. Guess we're a team again. Oh, okay. Yeah, you can depend on me! Umm, okay. Yes, you can depend on me! Hang in there for me, partner! Heh. All right, you win... You're the boss. All right, everyone. Time to save the world!! Let's show 'em who's boss, huh! Everyone Yeah! So what's the plan? A rush for the Cor Hydrae Castle would be tantamount to suicide.

It's likely crawling with the evil god's minions. The Cor Hydrae Castle? Where's that? Malpercio relocated there after flying away from the Empire. The Ocean Mirror's busted to pieces. That was the only means of defense we had. What about those strange figures who appeared when we were about to be crushed by Malpercio, and saved us all? Yeah, I remember them! It's like they just came in response to 's song... Oh, them people, you mean. They be the Children of the Earth. They live in the clouds below.

The Great happens to be one of them. What?! Why didn't you tell us that before?! Because no one asked the Great Mizuti. Um... True...But...

With Kalas going nuts and all... I guess we never thought of it... Come to think of it, the Great did mention being a Child of the Earth, when we met at Lord Calbren's Manor.

I never realized what it truly meant! Precisely. The Great Mizuti never lies. Only sometimes. Seldom. Once in a while. ... The Great also told Xelha not to worry, back in Wazn! That the Great , Child of the Earth, be with you. Ah! So that's what you meant!

I simply thought you were reassuring us...

That you would be watching over us. Hold on a second. You said your folks live in the clouds below. You mean the Taintclouds?

I thought they were thick layers of poisonous gas. Correct. ...Is it even possible for a creature to survive within the Taintclouds?

Do the Children of the Earth truly live down there? Certainly. The Great never lies nor tricks.

Maybe only sometimes. Rarely. Once in a blue moon. ... Great , how did you get up here? How did you get through the Taintclouds? Just like you take the Trail of Souls to Mira, The Children of the Earth take a trail when they climb up to the Sky.

When they go back down, they find a place where the clouds be thin, and dive in. Then they find the Trail in the Clouds, and follow it. That be it, no worries. Aren't the Taintclouds poisonous? Is it safe to just fly in? No problem, if it be a short time. Simple. Straightforward. Easy as pie. ...Are you sure about that? Maybe the mask that Great is always wearing works as some sort of filter. That makes sense. So the Great stays safe, thanks to that stupid... Stuuupid?? Erm... ...that unique mask of yours.

But we won't last a minute! Piece of cake. Just keep holding your breath. Sounds like we have a choice between poison or suffocation. What do you think, ? Dive into the Taintclouds! Let's find another way. Right. No use worrying all day. Hmmm...another way? Easier said than done.

...Hey, I got an idea! How about we all wear masks, just like the Great Mizuti? Oh, gimme a break. ...Actually, that idea may not be as bad as it sounds. But it's a special kind of mask, isn't it? I'll bet we couldn't find any up here. Correct. These masks can only be made by the Children of the Earth. ...Hmm. Too bad. I thought we were on to something there. Oh well. Looks like we'll just hold our breath and jump, . Yeah, I guess you're right... Okay! Let's do as the Great Mizuti says,

and fly through the Taintclouds for a visit to the folks below. The Children of the Earth. Let's get going! Yes. If we go there, we might discover something new about Malpercio. The village elder might know what to do about it. Kodelle Queen Xelha, we will report back to Anuenue as to what has happened, and where you're headed. Thank you. Let's head out!

Now that Malpercio's back in business, we don't have much time left. E0005CE8 Gods Becoming Mountains 1 E0005CEF Gods Becoming Mountains 2 E0005CF6 Gods Becoming Mountains 3 E0005CFD Gods that Became Mountains (Left Side) E0005D04 Victory Banquet Yo, Kalas! Aren't you having fun? Yeah. But I feel a little uneasy. Oh, really? Well, you've gone through a lot.

But, Kalas. Now is when things start gettin' tough.

The world's been messed up pretty bad by all this fighting. It'll take generations to rebuild.

We're not used to life on the ground.

We may have regained the green earth, but other problems'll prob'ly start poppin' up now. We've got a lot of work ahead of us, kid!

Why don't we just have a little fun tonight, and worry about it later, huh? Yeah, right. That's the spirit! Corellia Kalas, you've done well. Ladekahn Yes. Thanks to your efforts, we can celebrate victory. No...It's thanks to the others who trusted me even when I fell to the dark side.

Without them, I'd be part of the Cor Hydrae by now. Hmmm. That may be true...

But it's our victory because all of you, or rather, people the world over joined together to attain it. Yes. And now for the next step.

We must join together to rebuild our new world. Thank you for your help, King Ladekahn. No. Many thanks to you for your courageous efforts, Queen Corellia. Rodolfo Hmm. Ahem... Ha ha ha! And of course, thank you, too, Lord Rodolfo. Ha ha! Thank you, Lord Rodolfo. Duke Calbren, how is Melodia doing? Calbren Huh? Ah, Kalas.

She's resting in the palace. It's just not the right time for her to join everyone.

I wanted to stay with her, but I thought I should thank you first. Oh, I see... Even though world peace has been restored, the scar caused by this conflict may last forever...

Melodia must live her life, bearing that scar forever.

But I hope the time will come when she can smile innocently again, with a pure heart... Don't worry. I'm sure someday she will.

The terrible hurt suffered by the world and Melodia is gonna heal with time. You can count on us to be by her side. ...Thank you for saying that. I hope I live to see it. Yeah. You should live a long life for Melodia's sake. She'll need you. By the way, Great Mizuti. Why are you still wearing that mask?

The Taintclouds are gone. You don't need it anymore, do you? Great ...

...

...

...That be true. Great Mizuti didn't notice that. ... Great Mizuti be feeling a little uneasy. So, what are you going to do now, Great Mizuti? Will you go back to Gemma Village? Huh? Can't do that. A whole new world be waiting for Great Mizuti.

A new chapter of adventure for Great Mizuti be just beginning. Kalas wants to take part in it? Ha ha ha! Sounds like fun! Maybe... Xelha. ...What? Ah, Kalas... What's up? You don't look so happy. Um...It's nothing. I'm having fun. Really! ... Ah, Kalas. Hey, Lyude. What are you doing here? ...Oh, I was just thinking about the future of my country.

Attacks by Malpercio's minions have left the once proud nation of Alfard in ruins. Rebuilding will not be an easy task.

There's no one like King Ladekahn or Queen Corellia in Alfard to guide the reconstruction effort.

There is no one to lead our nation.

I wonder if peace will ever return to our motherland...

Thinking about the people in Alfard, and their future, I can't help but worry. I see...

But, Lyude... People in Diadem, Anuenue, and the other nations...

will never abandon Alfard.

We can help each other. I know we can. Right? ...

That may be true. The Empire, that nation that despised others and stood on its own, doesn't exist anymore.

We can live together, work together, in peace. Thank you, Kalas. I think I feel better. You're welcome.

Say! Why don't you become one of the leaders of the new world? Huh? That's... That's too much for me... Really? I think you're more than qualified. ...Kalas... Savyna... So, what are you planning to do now? I don't know.

But I want to do something I could never do before, or never got around to doing.

This feeling...

It's so strange. I used to never care about tomorrow, but so much has changed.

I never imagined I would ever have these kinds of feelings. Mayfee Hey, Savyna! Why don't you learn how to cook?

I think you would make a great cook! Ha! Savyna become a cook? That sounds interesting. Humph. Hmmm... Not a bad idea.

Okay, I'll dedicate my first dish to you two. Better be ready for anything! ... Hey, . Mind sticking around a little while? -- Cor Hydrae Castle (Copy) -- E0005D0B Throne Room:23 (Copy) Melodia ...?! I died? Nine years ago?!

Stricken by the plague, as Father and Mother were?

It...it can't be true! Then...I am but a shadow...A fake...

An empty shell, restored to a feigned existence by the End Magnus... Is that what I am?! Back from the dead... I belong to darkness...

Just like Malpercio... Calbren Melodia... How hilarious! All of it!!

The gods had arranged everything, an entire millennium ago?! Why did you bring me back to life?!

Why didn't you leave me alone, so I could die in peace?! ...! Melodia! Oh no! No, Melodia!! Don't do it!! Melodia!! Ahhhh... Malpercio...he took her into his being! Corellia The empty vessel...now has a soul! That night, in my state of depression, I heard a voice, a whisper...

It claimed it could bring you back to life, using the power of the End Magnus. The other gods...what's happening?! Damn! Now what?! Ladekahn No!! Ahh! I could not accept my loss...

I could not stand losing you!

I could not...help myself... ... Let us finish this now, Melodia.

With our combined efforts,

we can return Malpercio to the End Magnus that bore him, and banish him again, this time for good. I...I... The End Magnus...granted me life?

I was the one being manipulated? Ha ha ha ha ha... Melodia? HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! E0005D12 Throne Room:23 (Copy) Fee... You're not getting away! Everybody okay?! Yeah. Fine. Great Mizuti The Great Mizuti be alive and kicking! Kalas! We must end Malpercio's reign once and for all! Let's finish this, Kalas! We can do it! You bet we can! Let's do it! E0005D19 Throne Room:23 (Copy) Wake up, Melodia!! ...Can you hear me?! I've come for you...

Let's go back... Let's go back together! It's okay, now. Let's finish this, Melodia!

If you stay here any longer, you'll be trapped forever! Come on! Wake up!!

I'm not leaving you here alone! Wake up! It's no good! I'm not getting to her...

Help me, ! Okay? Wake up, Melodia!! Yes! It's working! Can you hear us?!

If you can, open your eyes! Just wake up! Please!! Melodia Kalas? ...My dear Kalas? ...Melodia... Melodia... E0005D20 Throne Room:23 (Copy) E0005D27 Rooftop:26 (Copy) Ready when you are! Let's do it. Great Mizuti Argh! Come on! What's taking him so long?! But all three Holy Artifacts have been broken...How could we? Melodia Allow me... That poor child...spoke to me.

The ancient wizards summoned Guardian Spirits, using their power to forge the Artifacts.

My End Magnus, Kalas' Magnus of Life,

and the power of , Kalas' Guardian Spirit. If we combine all three, it just might work. ...Can you do it? Yes. I have to do it...

I must put him to sleep...poor child... Okay! Ready, ? Let's do it! So...is it over? Corellia We must go! We'll be pulled into another dimension!! Ladekahn Full retreat!! We can't hold him much longer! ... Xelha!! Hurry!! ... Kalas!! Calbren Melodia!! Don't worry. She's all right. ...I'm so sorry. Okay! Let's put Malpercio to sleep. For good, this time.

Let's give him a break from his millennium of suffering! Barnette None shall escape from destruction...

None! Not even destruction itself!! -- Moonguile Forest (Copy) -- E0005D2E Forest 5:05 (Copy) Rodolfo Any time you wish. Krumly We have failed... E0005D35 Forest 5:05 (Copy) I was waiting for you, ... ... When did you notice? When I learned that you and had found each other, and you had bonded together. I see... Also, when we were attacked by the Goldoba on the way to Mira, and were trapped in another dimension.

You gave yourself away there. You said we first met in Moonguile Forest.

But we had met each other in Cebalrai, before you left for the forest.

At that time,

I thought you just made a mistake, but it stuck in the back of my mind. It wasn't a mistake.

It was a slip of the tongue, . You gave yourself away.

You had seen me in Moonguile Forest, before we met in Cebalrai.

You probably just happened to overhear us talking.

Right, ? I found you , you sickly raven!!! ...?! Geldoblame?! 200010C8 Arriving at the Empire Commander Welcome, Lady Melodia! Please, this way. Melodia I thank you for receiving me, Sir Fadroh. My apologies for visiting on such short notice. Fadroh Oh, please. You know that you are always most welcome here.

Regretfully, the Emperor is out at the moment.

But I'd be delighted if you could stay for a cup of tea. Looks like they're gone. Let's find out what the Emperor and Giacomo's men are up to. What if we can't find them? Then we should go to my residence.

Both my brother and sister are soldiers. They must know something... Are you sure it's okay? We don't have to go if you're not comfortable with it, .

If something happens, your family will get into trouble... It's fine. Besides, time is growing more scarce as we speak. Great Mizuti Then what are we waiting for? 200010CF Imperial Boy Oops. Sorry, kid. Elite Child ... Huh? You okay little guy? Why do uncivilized citizens such as yourself even set foot in our glorious Imperial capital?

Oh bother. Might you quickly step aside,

as I am a very busy person, unlike you. Or are you thinking that I should step out of the way? Is that it? Ha! What... Those with the most power always come out on top. That's how the world is. You're all adults. Don't tell me you weren't aware of that simple fact.

People like me who are highly educated and naturally talented must rule the inferiors when we grow up.

It's not a right we've been granted, but a duty we must fulfill as the chosen people.

Hopefully this little talk has made you realize why I am so busy. Can your kind comprehend such talk? What was that all about? Were you taught to act like that in school too, ? No. I was homeschooled. Almarde, a foster nurse of mine gave me private lessons. 200010D6 To the Battleship Goldoba This is no time to cry, . You gotta keep your head up and move on.

There's no turning back now, for any of us. Yes... Old Fortune Teller ... 200010EB Wake up, Kalas! Melodia Welcome to the sanctum of Malpercio!

It's so kind of you to join us in celebration, to hail the birth of a god! We came to put an end to your freakshow, Melodia! You think you can just take control of my homeland? I refuse to allow it! , please! Come to your senses! Come back to us! Great Mizuti You wake yourself up, ! ... It's no use. Once touched by the divine light, there's no turning back...

He would never even consider reverting to his former self. I can promise you that. Melodia...why are you doing this?

If Malpercio awakens, our world will be... Because he wants to be reborn, in whatever way possible...

That's all there is to it.

Long ago, he was destroyed at the hands of mortals, torn apart and buried in pieces...

I'm redeeming that act, on behalf of all mortals. No one can stop me. !! 200010F2 End Magnus Unsealed No, I can't do it! ! Ah...Argh... Oh no...Kalas!

What should I do? What could I possibly do, ? I don't know... Use the Mirror! Oh, please, I need your help! I don't know what to do! But if I did that... would be! Use it, ... Use the mirror!! Kalas...I... Do it...!! Before the End Magnus unite...Before it's too late... But...you'll be! Don't worry about me... Do it...Now!! Argghhh!! ...! Argghhhhhh!! Stop it... Hang on, ! But! ... Argghhhhhh!!! No!! I can't do this! I simply can't!! *gasp* Melodia Are you finished yet? ... Ahhhh!! Enough of your petty tricks.

You are but a mere mortal. An insignificant bug when compared to the power of gods.

Cheap magic tricks will do nothing to help you.

Accept your fate and be crushed, powerless, beneath the heel of Malpercio! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!! !! Yes...you shall awaken at long last, my child, my darling Malpercio!!

The five End Magnus have been released. Five shimmering souls have been united...

all the right ingredients for your grand awakening! No...It can't be... Hello my darling!! Arghhhhh! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Go ahead, Malpercio! Let us begin our celebration of your birth!

Enjoy yourself to the fullest! Me...Melodia! ...?! You poor fool. I thought I told you.

If you bathe in his light, there's no turning back.

You are already a servant of Malpercio... One of the brethren of darkness... No! Now, we must punish the unwise, those who dared to oppose our god's awakening.

Crush them all, ! Ha ha ha! Go on, . Squash the insignificant bugs!! No! !! Do what you want. Don't, !! Do what you want. ... O Mighty Ocean, guide us as we journey through... The darkest pit of night... 200010F9 The Earth People Melodia Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha!!

Very amusing! What could a worm like you possibly hope to do? Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Argh!! ! Ha! How pitiful. You are but a mere mortal.

What can you hope to achieve, , without a god to protect you? Enough of this nonsense. I'll grant you the honor of being annihilated, by my darling. All of you, all at once!

...Malpercio! Umph! Great Mizuti Not yet, says the Great Mizuti!!! ...?! ...? What is that? ...?! Who are you?! No...what are you doing?! His parts aren't fully connected yet! Umph... Take us to the inner sanctum, Cor Hydrae! He has escaped... ! Can you hear me?!

Please...fight this, ! Broken Ocean Mirror 60002C00 VSSabre Dragon Girl Gram!! Leon!! ...?! It's you!! Kalas Here it comes!! 60002C07 VS Lord of the Spring Lord of the Spring You come at last, woe-laden child... To the depths of Malpercio's realm. Xelha ...?! Prepare yourself! 60002C0E VS Lord of the Spring syori running... Lord of the Spring The time has come. The gate to Ar is opening. Behold the blessing of Malpercio... W...what is this?! 60002C15 VS Giacomo Giacomo So you came, did you? Kalas ...!! So it was you, after all... I'm surprised to see you alive. Giacomo! You don't know how long I've waited for this moment! This is for my grandfather, and for Fee...You're goin' down, Giacomo...for good! 60002C1C VS Giacomo Giacomo That's enough for today.

The Emperor is expecting me. I'm sure His Worship is eager to see what I've obtained.

The relic of a god, long lost! Argh!! Ahhhhhh... 60002C23 VS Thunderfish 60002C2A VS Iron Beetle Kalas Whoa! What is that thing? Xelha It's an Iron Beetle. From the Imperial Mobile Forces. I can't believe they even sent these out here!

This nation will be torn to bits... Gibari We'll see about that. They won't get too far if I can help it! I'll make 'em wish they never set foot on my turf! 60002C31 VS Iron Beetle 60002C38 VS Iron Beetle Drill Ayme You...I know you. That crazy old man's...

This is getting interesting. Must be my lucky day.

It's getting more fun by the minute.

You won't be getting away this time. Kalas That's MY line! Prepare to die! Imperial Commander Ambassador Lyude!

You dare to defy the Emperor?

To threaten your own people?

To think that you'd stoop so low...

You're finished...traitor! Lyude Call me what you will, but I stand only for justice! Godforsaken fool. You seem to fit in quite well with the scum of this nation. We'll be more than happy to take you out with the rest of the garbage.

Proceed. As you wish. Ready to die? Hope you enjoy your trip to hell! 60002C3F VS Iron Beetle Drill Wait for motion correction. Ayme Damn! You'll be sorry for this! 60002C46 VS Lord of the Winds Lord of the Winds Prepare thyself, woe-laden child...

Powers of the god long deceased, once awakened...can never again be set to slumber. Kalas What?! What do you mean? You know well enough...

Your pain will lead the world to the abyss of sorrow and despair...

Yet you refuse to relent. Xelha We can't let Geldoblame lay hands on that shining Magnus! Then defeat me in battle, and claim it as your own. Gibari Nothing personal, but we'll take you up on that offer. We don't have time to haggle.

Let's do it! 60002C4D VS Lord of the Winds Gibari Huh? Lyude Is this what we came for? Lord of the Winds Behold the oath of Malpercio... ... 60002C54 VS Folon Folon Looks like you took the bait... How I love messing with you fools. Kalas One of Geldoblame's goons...

So you set us up with that talk about the witch coming back. Ding Dong! That's right!

Today's lucky winners will all receive a one-way ticket to hell! I hear you're a leftover from Giacomo and Ayme's attack on that old fossil, Georg...

No matter, I'll finish up where they left off. ...?! So, you're with Giacomo and Ayme? Your grandfather and kid brother have been asking for you down below.

Don't make them wait, Kalas. Time to take out the rubbish! 60002C5B VS Folon Folon Heh, your friends aren't too shabby, for mere humans. I must say you made it interesting.

But playtime's over now. How'd you like that? It's the power of Malpercio. Kalas *grunt* The power of Malpercio? Yup. We're still working on it, though.

This is nothing compared to the cursed god's true power, once fully awakened.

When that happens, we'll finally be able to shed these clumsy shells of ours. Xelha But... You'd no longer be human!! Are you afraid of change? If so, you should just give up and die. It's as simple as that. That's the way history goes.

Anyway, enough chatting... Time to die!! Ah! 60002C62 VS Celestial Tree Mayfee Is this it? Savyna It must be. This is the heart of the Celestial Tree, where its flowers bloom.

An old woman once told me of this... She also spoke of a dreadful power lying dormant within the tree. What she didn't tell me was how one could release that power from its slumber... But I'm sure you know what to do. Hark, woe-laden child...

A millenium of sleep thou hath broken. The powers of a god thou hath awakened. Each and all must pay the price.

What will thou contribute? Is...the Celestial Tree talking?! Xelha No, it's not. It's the voice of a guardian, which resides in this tree. The guardian of the third End Magnus! Ow! Gibari Mayfee! Kalas Damn! Here it comes! 60002C69 VS Celestial Tree Behold the mercy of Malpercio... Savyna ... Mayfee Wow... Are these the Celestial Flowers?

They look like shooting stars! 60002C70 VS Savyna Look! It's pointing towards Mira! Wait! Here comes another one! Hey, isn't the Empire in that direction? Mira and the Empire... What's this all supposed to mean? Savyna! Drop it!! ...?! Phew...Chalk one up for the good guys! You obtained the Che End Magnus. Finally. And no Empire in sight. How refreshing. If we show this to Queen Corellia, it would convince her of the truth. I'm sure she'll agree to help us thwart Geldoblame's ambitions. But why didn't the Empire show up this time? Yeah...You'd think that Folon guy would be on our tail.

The Empire won't give up that easily. You can count on it. Yeah... Yes, in fact a hand of the Empire is here among us. What do you mean?! ...?! Lyude! I knew we couldn't trust you! ...?! Savyna. I have reason to believe you are an Imperial soldier. Am I correct? What?! No way!! I'm sure of it. The style of her tactics convinced me.

She's a soldier in the Imperial army. A member of the elite special forces, I believe.

Am I right, Savyna? No, it can't be true! Tell us, Savyna! ...Let's say I am. So what? You! You betrayed us! You only asked for my name. Not who I was. Huh?! I...You... ...Wanna take me on, right here and now? Mmm... What should we do? Let's fight her! Hold on! Don't fight her. Right!

Savyna, you're not gettin' your Imperial hands on this End Magnus!

Not a chance!! Oh yeah? And just watch her waltz away with the End Magnus? Over my dead body!

Savyna, you're not gettin' your Imperial hands on this End Magnus!

Not a chance!! Let's fight her! Hold on! Don't fight her. Right!

Savyna, you're not gettin' your Imperial hands on this End Magnus! Not a chance!! Oh yeah? And just watch her waltz away with the End Magnus? Over my dead body!

You're not gettin' your Imperial hands on this End Magnus!

Not a chance!! 60002C77 VS Savyna You're better than I thought.

Enough sparring. I say we stop now. It's no use going on. The last thing we want is casualties. At ease, all of you. I don't belong to the Empire. What? Then why did you fight us? You jumped to a conclusion, and attacked me. I merely returned the favor. Erm... Well, you do have a point there...But... Come on, let's get out of here. I'm eager to know what the Queen thinks of this Magnus. Come on, Mayfee. Let's head back to the village. Mayfee Okay, Savyna. Sorry I made you worry. ...It's all right. Now you know better. 60002C7E VS Great Sea Monster 60002F0E VS Magnus Giganticus 60002F15 VS Magnus Giganticus 60002F00 VS Monster Ayme Now that's ugly. Giacomo Folon, Ayme! Let us leave our friends to this mess. Folon Humph...so sorry I have to bid you farewell. Such a pity, really. Consider yourselves lucky. Kalas Melodia! Stand back!! Savyna Stay sharp! This isn't gonna be a cakewalk. 60002F07 VS Monster Kalas Melodia! Gibari No! Get away from it!! Melodia You must stop this! It's all right now... Just calm down. Xelha The hatred...it's fading away! What the? Everything will be all right. Go back home now, okay?

This is no place for you to be... Not yet... Just wait a little longer.

Please? 60002C85 VS Phantasm Phantasm What do you ask of the gods? What will you do with their power?

Do you wish so much to prevail,

knowing it to be but a fleeting dream?

Prepare yourselves, pathetic fools! 60002C8C VS Phantasm Phantasm Take it now, woe-laden child... Behold the Enlightenment of Malpercio... 60002C93 VS Battleship Goldoba 60002C9A VS Battleship Goldoba Kalas All right. Let's go inside! 60002F1D VS Giacomo Family Xelha There's no one here. Gibari Damn! Where could that slob be hidin'?! Giacomo I presume you're looking for the Emperor. Unfortunately for you, he's already left for the Lava Caves, where the fifth and final End Magnus is sealed. The other four are already in his possession. Kalas Giacomo! Ayme Aww, you just missed him!

Well, at least we're still here to keep you company! Folon Heh, I didn't think you had the guts to go to the heart of the Empire.

Maybe we could call it bravery... no...stupidity is more like it! Stupidity seems to be one of your strong points. Lyude You said he has four End Magnus?

So it was you who stole the "Che" End Magnus! Humph. Maybe so. Thanks for the warm welcome.

But we don't have time to play with you goons today.

We're after the Emperor. No way! This is my chance. Today's payback time! Kalas! Time's running out... Prepare to die, Giacomo! You can't slither out of this one. Not this time. You talk a good game, boy. It shows courage...I like that. Kalas, I have a proposition...

Would you like to join us? What? Whoa! What's gotten into you, Giacomo? Yeah! What the hell are you talking about?! You two stay out of this. I've got an idea... What do you say, Kalas? Join you? Why would I ever do that?

You must be nuts, is that it? Or a comedian? I'm dead serious.

I have a plan. I need you in order to carry it out, Kalas. Stop saying that! Why would I ever join you?

You killed Gramps and Fee. You make me sick! Don't dwell on the past, or you'll miss out on what the future has to offer.

You are the chosen one, Kalas... the Divine Child. I don't know what you're talking about.

My final answer is no, Giacomo! And you're not getting away this time. You fool!

So be it. I'll kill you, then use your corpse to learn the secret of the End Magnus. Don't be so confident. I've gotten stronger since we last met. I'll put an end to your childish ramblings...

You're finished, boy! Prepare to meet your destiny! 60002F24 VS Giacomo Family Kalas You lose, Giacomo! Giacomo No! This can't be! I never lose!

Is it the Spirit within him? Or is it because... We did it... We did it!

Look, ! Gramps and Fee can finally rest in peace. His power...It's the fruit of Georg's research...I was supposed to inherit that power... ...?! My grandfather's research?! Yes...Georg's research... He tapped into power from the Divine Child. Power...from the Divine Child? You were supposed to inherit it?

Why you? Because Georg, whom you call Grandfather... ...is my father. ...?! What?!

That can't be right!! You liar! ...! Humph... You're going down with the ship, boy.

My father designed this battleship.

Think of it as a nice roomy coffin. I'm sure it'll keep you warm on your way to hell! Ha ha ha...Ha ha ha ha ha! Gibari ...! This is bad!! 60002F2B VS Geldoblame 60002CA1 VS Geldoblame Geldoblame Whoa... What is happening?!

I can't control my body!! It's moving on its own !! Heh heh heh... As much as I hate having to tell you this, dear Emperor, the five End Magnus don't really add up to a dead god. Melodia?! What are you doing here?! Hmmm?! Fadroh, you! Melodia...What do you mean,

the End Magnus don't add up?! Melodia To put it more precisely... The five End Magnus are the remains of five separate gods. W...what are you talking about?! Each part was taken from the body of a different god...

Malpercio, reborn in this world by invoking the five End Magnus...

...is but a gruesome patchwork of divine limbs and body parts,

fused together in torment.

Would you have thought, Your Magnificence...

that a mere mortal could withstand the touch of such a being?

That the madness and anger of the gods would leave you unscathed? You...Out of all people, Melodia...you deceived me! That's not a very nice thing to say, my dear Emperor...

You only have yourself to blame, for assuming too much...

Your help was invaluable in releasing the five End Magnus from their seals.

There's no need to worry,

I will take good care of the End Magnus, and the power of Malpercio. Thank you...and farewell, Your Magnificence. Argh! Argh!!!! Enough deception.

You have done well. Everything went as planned.

You may step forth and claim your reward, as we agreed. Ehh?! What?! So there was a traitor in our midst! Great Mizuti Who lied to the Great Mizuti? Speak up, whoever you are... No! Wait! Everyone! It's me... I worked together with Melodia. Kalas?! Why? This can't be... Kalas lied to Great Mizuti? So it was you... ... Kalas, you're not serious, are you? I'm dead serious... You were responsible for the loss of the End Magnus, in Mira. Exactly... In the Confectionary Village, Melodia stumbled and staggered in front of us...

I pretended to help her stand up, and handed her the End Magnus. I would advise you all to behave yourselves...unless you want me to unleash the full might of Malpercio, right here, right now. Kalas!! Are you crazy?! You're pullin' our legs, right? ... , ? Are you in on this, too? ? Are you in on this, too? And if I was? Of course not!! No, . You don't need to pretend to have betrayed them. didn't know about this at all. No, didn't know about this at all. What's even worse, was opposed to my plan, and refused to cooperate.

So we cast a memory loss spell on .

It seemed to do the trick...

"I will completely forget anything that has happened since the time I was called to this world as a Guardian Spirit." Those were the words used in the spell.

We cast it back in Moonguile Forest, in Sadal Suud.

Xelha, you remember the place, don't you? ... Kalas, stop this! Do whatever you want. Kalas, please stop this! Do whatever you want. Well...It's too late, . I can't go back anymore. Yes I will, thank you very much. Even if you try to stop me again. I would've done anything to avenge Gramps and Fee...anything.

I needed the power... I wanted to be stronger...

I needed the power of a Spirit...

I needed you, ... But it's all over now. Snap out of it, ! I understand now... Please snap out of it, ! I understand now... Humph...Snap out of what? I'm just fine...

You're the one that needs to snap out of it. Isn't it time for you to accept reality and go back to where you belong, ? Good for you. I'm glad to hear that, . Step forward, Kalas. Become what you have always dreamed to be.

Free your mind, and let the power of the End Magnus take control.

Allow yourself to be touched by the breath of God...and you will finally be reborn. No...Kalas!! Don't touch it!! What is it you fear?

I'm certain you will be fine...

Your Guardian Spirit will protect you. You need not fear the madness and anger of Malpercio.

You must believe, Kalas... Believe in the power of Malpercio! ... Please! Stop!!! stop! Go on . stop! Go on . , please stop! Go on . !! Look at me! This is my true form...at long last! Look at my beautiful wings!! I'm complete! I've found myself!

I feel the power flowing inside me.

The power of Mighty Malpercio! Flames of life from the gods!! Yes...my dear Kalas. Oh... You must see by now, . I no longer need the Spirit's power...

I've obtained eternal power of the gods! It seems that way...... Listen to me, Kalas. It seems that way...... Listen to me, Kalas. I'm glad you see things my way, . ... Unfortunately, there's no place for you in this world...

Nobody needs you anymore...

Your game is over. Go back to your world now.

So long, ... It's been fun... This is the beginning of a new era!

A holy war shall be upon us.

The frenzied god of despair... Malpercio the cursed, is awakening from its eternal slumber!! Ha ha ha ha... Ha ha ha ha!! Wha ha ha ha ha ha ha!! Ha ha ha ha ha!! 60002F32 VS Gate Guard 60002CA8 VS Goddess of Ice Goddess of Ice You have been expected, Queen of the Ice Lands... You must pass the test, to prove yourself worthy of receiving the Mirror.

Are you ready? An ordeal awaits you. 60002CAF VS Goddess of Ice Goddess of Ice You have done well.

Take the Mirror now, my daughter. But be prepared...

Your possession of this Mirror means the time has drawn near...

when the mighty Ocean must be released... ...

Yes...I understand... Mother... 60002CB6 VS Fadroh Fadroh Ha ha ha ha ha!

Once adjusted to the shimmering light, even ordinary people can possess a portion of the god's power.

But Emperor Geldoblame overplayed his hand and bathed in all five lights at once, leading to his misfortune.

Look at us, and the blessings showered upon us!

The great Malpercio will come down to this world very soon.

The world will be made anew, according to Malpercio's will... Those foolish enough to defy his rule will not be pardoned. All those in rebellion will perish!! 60002CBD VS Fadroh Fadroh This is not bad...

I am no longer afraid of death...never... Your powers will be joined together... A tribute to our god... 60002F39 VS Archangel Kalas Xelha *gasp* Kalas! Kalas I don't want to fight you...

But I must destroy those who defy Malpercio. You're gonna die here... Gibari Looks like we don't have a choice!! Xelha, knock him off his guard first.

Then use that mirror on him. Right! Prepare to die! Wake up, Kalas! You prepare to die, Kalas! ...?! ?! What are you doing here?! It can't be! Are you... That's right, is with me now. What?! Get ready, Kalas!

I'm going to get you out of this nightmare...save you from the evil god!! Not a chance! 60002F40 VS Archangel Kalas Kalas Argh!! Melodia You disappoint me, Kalas. Is that the best you can do? Yet, thanks to all of you, the End Magnus will finally be released... Yes indeed, with your help! Gibari What?! Look! Xelha What's happening?! The End Magnus are responding to you all. ...?! What do you mean?? Releasing the End Magnus requires power rivaling that of a god...

Five islands...Five gods, torn apart... Five unsuspecting mortals...

It is your unity, your trust that binds you as one...

Pathetic fools...

You, yourselves, are the key... The key to the resurrection, to the birth of Malpercio! ...!! Argh...What the?! I'm burning up!! Lyude Power... is gushing out from inside?! Great Mizuti. Does this be power of the god? Savyna Xelha...this doesn't look good. NO!! It can't be! This can't be happening! We have to go! It's too late.

Each of you is bound to the residual powers of each god, bound to each island through the Interdimensional Cracks.

The power of the gods remains strong in each isle, even after the End Magnus had been awakened. Like the Shadow Magnus in Mira? Exactly...

And the five of you, born as separate individuals,

are held together by a web of trust and camaraderie.

Five different hearts, feeling and hurting as one...

Strengthened by countless battles and hardships...

Don't you see? You have collectively attained a power rivaling that of the End Magnus, a power providing the ideal fabric for merging them into one! No! And here, within Kalas and I, are the will and determination to complete this circle! The unsatiated craving for new life!! The time is now, Kalas. Kalas...no!! ... Don't, Kalas! Snap out of it, Kalas! Don't, Kalas! Please wake up, Kalas! After a millenium of darkness, the time has come at last for the End Magnus to be freed!

Take your first breath, come into being! You, who are both mother and child...Malpercio!! Behold the birth of Malpercio!! No...Not so fast. I won't let you!! What is that?! The Ocean Mirror?! How did you get that?! Aargh! No...Stop it, Xelha!! Kalas, please! Come to your senses!! Aaaaaaarrrrrrrg...ggghhhh!! ...?! Something's wrong!

I thought the Ocean Mirror would only free him from Malpercio's power! Oh no! Barnette! Did she lie to me?! 60002F47 Tearing Up the White Wings Melodia What are you doing? Kalas ... Ah...Aaaaaahhhh!! Xelha Kalas?! ...?! What have you done? Have you lost your mind?! How...could it be possible? Removing the power of a god?! By your own will?!

What are you? Kalas... Melodia...

I swear I'll drive Malpercio and his minions from this world!

Plunge them right back into the depths of darkness... 60002CC4 VS Hellish Watchdog 60002F6A VS Unfinished Malpercio Great Mizuti. I...I will never forgive you! Never, never, never!! Kay ...?! What is this? Great Kamroh The power of our ancestor, the great wizard?! ... Yaaahhh! Melodia You...You! Kalas Prepare to die, Melodia! Geldoblame is asking for you in hell!! 60002F63 VS Unfinished Malpercio Melodia Oooh! How is it possible? Malpercio! Kalas ...?! No! The Sword of the Heavens! ...Yet another of your hopes has been lost.

The sword broken, the mirror shattered, the sphere smashed...

How do you intend to face the might of Malpercio?! Ha ha ha! We will leave you be for now, though.

Take your time to taste the fear of death...

You will pay for challenging his will, sooner or later... I'll be seeing you, Kalas!

Next time we meet, it will be the end for you and your friends. You will all die! Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha! 60002CCB VS Giacomo Team Giacomo Take this!! Whoa! The Great Mizuti The Great Mizuti hears something! That noise! We had to infiltrate a lab in Mintaka for these.

I thought this might work on you, Kalas. ... What's going on?! Hypertoxic Soundwaves?! A Guardian Spirit is made up of a voice and power transferred from another world.

A resonance field of Hypertoxic Soundwaves smothers the voice and negates the Spirit's power.

You're no longer protected by your Guardian Spirit's power. What?! Are you okay, Kalas?! ...Hey, partner! Can you hear me, ?! I'm right here, ! Hang in there, ?! I'm right here ! Hang in there ?! I no longer hear 's voice...I don't have 's strength any more... Ayme You're a wreck, Kalas. How much can you do on your own, huh? Folon Even without the Spirit's power, you should at least try your best to amuse us.

I'll give you an "A" for effort. Let us begin.

You've wasted enough of our time, Kalas. I'll finish you right here and now. Say your prayers, boy!! 60002CD2 VS Giacomo Team Giacomo Humph. You're doing well even without the Spirit's aid. But "well" is not good enough...

Can't you do any better, Kalas?! Argh!! ! Give my regards to Georg and Fee. Argh...Fee... 60002CD9 Awakened Kalas Gramps... Giacomo Argh! Giacomo...You said Fee's story was over. ... I won't...let that happen!

As long as I live... Fee's story will never die!! 60002CE0 Awakened Kalas Giacomo It's over... It's all over... Ayme, Folon...you all right? Ayme Yeah...Giacomo. Folon Barely... Good...

You two should join forces with Kalas...help them in any way you can.

The Empire is gone, and Geldoblame is dead...

Don't let them take over this world. Okay, Giacomo! Now stop it! Giacomo...Don't die on us!! Kalas...Stop them... Stop...Melodia! I will... I promise you, Giacomo.

We'll take care of Melodia! Life is long when you live it, oh but so short when you look back...

Farewell...Kalas... ...?! Giacomo?! Giacomo!! No!!! 60002F5C Mizuti VS Sorcerer 60002CE7 Mizuti VS Sorcerer Ancient Wizards Take it, take the Ring of Stars... You should be able to make good use of it. I wish you good luck, dear descendant... 60002CEE Gibari VS Master of the Greater Celestial River Anna Th...That! That oar...it must be Balgora!! Reblys Then this must be the Master of the Greater Celestial River! Gibari Stay back you two. You better leave this to us.

Everyone ready?! 60002CF5 Savyna VS Ghoul 60002CFC Savyna VS Ghoul You're mine!! Kid Father? ...?! Father... Why?! This can't be! Argh!! After the mission, I remember bodies being thrown into a pit, deep in the Lava Caves...

Those bodies must have been tainted by Malpercio! Ah!! Savyna?! What are you doing?! Fight back! Argh!! Ow!! No...No... No! RUN!! P...Please... ... Ah? Azdar!! Azdar Argh... Azdar?! I'm sorry for what I did two years ago...Please forgive me... Argh... ... But...this is...not your daddy... He's gone... ... We should...let it sleep... Right? ... Good girl...good girl... ! 60002D03 Lyude VS Parasite Huh? What's going on?! What the hell is this thing?! The Great Mizuti It be feeding on the pain of others! The feeling of guilt, deep inside me... All the regrets, all the sorrow... That is what feeds this abomination! A Mind Parasite?! It must have come here from another dimension when Cor Hydrae Castle appeared. You slimy excuse for a worm! We can take it! 60002F71 Lyude VS Parasite Lyude Thank you...for everything... 60002D0A Xelha VS Sorcerers Is this it? The ancient and forbidden book of magic... Powerful energy be coming out of this book. Something be sealed, inside. Are you gonna unleash it? You sure that's such a bright idea, Xelha? ...

I promised my mother, that I'd never back down, never fear.

That I'd stride forward with my head up. ...?! Magician Greetings. Are you the last of the Ice Queens? Yes...Most likely... Has the time come? ... ...Then let us begin.

A thousand years ago, a seed of hope was sown by our hand. Let us witness the fruit it has borne. 60002D11 Xelha VS Sorcerers Magician The world...is in your hands. Act with wisdom. I will...

Your will, and your hope reside in me now, last of the Ice Queens... You obtained the Seal of Water. 60002D18 VS Sibling God 60002F55 VS Malpercio Kalas Malpercio...cursed god of evil.

You may have given me life...

But, I'll be putting you back to sleep! I promised you, Malpercio, to send you back to the depths of darkness...

Your thousand years of suffering...

Your thousand years of despair...

It all ends here!!

Prepare yourself! 60002F78 VS Malpercio Kalas Did we get him? Melodia Malpercio!! Why?!

How could mere mortals overcome the powers of a god? Impossible! There is a line, Melodia, which cannot be crossed... ...?! Corellia A patchwork of divine limbs, forcibly infused with life, make but an incomplete and distorted vessel.

It is beyond the means of us mortals to revive the true power of the gods of old... Argh!! Calbren It's all over, Melodia... Let us end this, here and now... Grandfather... Even you don't understand, do you, Milord... Look at me!! I'm no longer the weak and sickly Melodia I once was.

As true heir to the Duchy of Mira, I have claimed the End Magnus. And harnessed the power of the gods of old!! No, Melodia. It was not you who harnessed their power.

It was they who came to take you back... ...?! What are you talking about, dear Grandfather? Melodia... I can no longer hide the truth from you... 60002D1F VS Awakened Malpercio Dummy The world will be made anew, according to Malpercio's will... 60002F4E VS Awakened Malpercio Kalas Hey, Great Mizuti! Do me a favor and bind this divine blob of grease. Great Mizuti Easy as pie! Gibari Kalas! What're you doing?! I'll be back in a second. Behave yourselves, okay? Melodia! I'm going to pull you out of that pit! Xelha Kalas?! 60002D26 Malpercio Dies Barnette Do it, now!! Cast light upon the darkened earth. Save those lost in despair.
