Do you remember that dark destiny I showed you long ago? Hellion defeats you, and you lose consciousness.

I assumed then that if you could defeat Hellion, it would change your fate, and the fate of Atreia. The sword changes that much.

But now a new truth has become apparent. It's not Hellion who defeats you, but your own uncontrolled power.




There is dark energy in you. Even though you can now defeat Hellion with the Spirit Blade, it will neither save you nor change the outcome of our world.

You'll be overwhelmed--cast down by the dark power inside you. I tried to purify that power, but my ability is not equal to the task.






There's another way that may work, but it requires the good will of many, and your ability to keep a secret. And still it might not be enough.

I'll give you a Pearl of Purification to hold the power of beings of great age and wisdom. Your job will be to journey to each of them--Hreidmar, Bulagan, Cayron, Vanargand, and Esnu--and to request their divine blessing.

Do not speak my name, nor imply we've spoken. I'm not at all favoured in some circles, as I'm sure I don't need to remind you.




You still smell of blood, Asmodian.

All your kind do, but it's because of you that this place has suffered so much death.

Surely Aion did not make you as you are.


And now you ask for a reward?!

There. There's what you wanted. Take it back, and consider any debts of mine paid to all of your kind.

Leave Nepra. Now!




It is good to see you again, Daeva.

I have not forgotten how you helped rescue Agnita from the claws of Kromede. I am forever in your debt.


Aahh...yes... You seek a blessing.

There. It is done.

My blessing is in it now. Go in peace.


You've come for a divine blessing!

Don't look surprised, child! I wouldn't be the Elder of Brohum if I couldn't see that, would I?

I can also see that you haven't much time. Give me that.
The blessing is given, and gladly.

But I sense something I did not sense when last we met, Player. You power is greater, and...

I don't know what's happened to you, but I hope my blessing will help to correct it.




I helped you once, and here you are back again. Your kind never tires of asking and taking.

I want no more to do with you--any of you.

Don't bother me again.
Do you have any idea what you're asking of me, Player? A divine blessing is no small matter, but the accumulation of 100 years of power.

Why should I give it to you? Why should I sacrifice my power for you? Indeed I should not.

Why are you still here? Leave!




So you've already gotten three blessings, eh? Someone must think you're all right. Let me see that....

Here. Since you've forced a blessing from me, you'd better win that fight with Hellion, or whatever his name is.

I don't want my home swarming with sun-blighted clawless scum.






If you've lost the Golden Trumpet Temple Key, I can't help you. There's no way to make another unless you have another copy of Aika's.

If you don't need a key, there's no reason for you to be here disturbing me.


You brought me Hinden's letter, and I repaid you generously. Now here you are again, as though I still owed you something.

If I agree to grant you my blessing...IF I do, you must agree to come to my aid whenever--and wherever--I need you.

If we have a bargain, give me that.


You're back. Munin warned me this latest task might take a while.

Have you all the blessings he sent you for? If even one is missing, this won't work.


An amazing accomplishment, Player. It can't have been easy getting some of those blessings.

Swallowing the pearl will purify the dark power inside you, but even this, Munin says, may not be enough.

He has asked me for the Amulet of Insight.


This is an amulet on which the four with the Eye of Insight have written an incantation on all points of the compass using their own blood. Whoever is in possession of this amulet can make one wish. Even a wish that lies sometime in the future.

Here, take the amulet. I’ve written my incantation on the eastern point of the amulet. To collect the other three incantations, find the other three using the Eye of Insight.

Ananta, Seznec and Kasir have the Eye of Insight, so go and see them.

Good luck.
It is you, of the darrrrk winnngs and sharrrrp claws. Rrrrrrrrrrrrr....

The Mist Mane have nnnot forgottennn you or yourrrr many acts of kinnndness.

Tell mmme why you are herrrre.


My blood and my innncantationnn are yourrrrs to command, winged onnne.

I draw my incantation in the west.

It pleases me to returrrrn your kinnndness. Rrrrrrrrr.... Herrrre is your amulet.








Oh, it's you again.

What are the chance you just happened to be in the neighbourhood?

Spit it out. Why are you here?
The Amulet of Insight. I haven't heard that name since my elder sisters died. Let me see that.

I wonder how much blood I have left after all this time....

There. The incantation is drawn. To the north.






Yes, exactly what book are you looking for?

...I know you're here for the amulet. Slip it to me when Gaminart's not looking....

What was that title again?




Now we’re just missing the incantation on the southern part of the amulet.

(Bites his finger and writes the incantation onto the amulet in his own blood.)

Here, take this amulet with all four incantations.

Hurry up and take it, Gaminart keeps looking over here.

(Rants in a loud voice.) Don’t you understand that the glorious Impetusium isn’t here?

If you won’t believe me, see for yourself.
You did a good job, and I hope you got some good advice while you were about it.

I hope you didn't mention Hellion--the Shadow Court has eyes and ears everywhere.

There are just a few more things you and I must do....
