Player! Thank you for coming.

It's been a while since we last met, but sadly we don't have much time to catch up. An urgent issue has come up! Listen closely....

It's about the resurrection of Dragon Lord Ereshkigal.

Player: "Go on."

When the Empyrean Lord found out about Ereshkigal's resurrection, he ordered us to enter the Eye of Reshanta and slay him. But the path to the Eye of Reshanta is blocked by Ereshkigal's seal and it is not within our power to break through it.

The siege weapon the Empyrean Lord sent us isn't enough. We need more power to defeat the Third Dragon Lord.

And what would be better to use than the power of the First Dragon Lord Fregion?

Player: "...I'm listening."

Our plan is to use Embers of Fregion with our siege weapon to create a bomb, and then send it towards Ereshkigal's seal surrounding the Eye of Reshanta. Once it's gone, we can advance. But right now, all troops of Elysea are caught in a great battle and there are no Daevas left to find the power of the First Dragon Lord.

That's why I'd like to entrust this to you, Player.

It will be a very dangerous and difficult task to complete, but I have great faith in you, Player. I know you will succeed!

Player: "Tell me more."

Embers of Fregion grow naturally in regions that have been damaged by the Dragon Lord.

It's revolting. No matter how much time has passed, Fregion's power and corruption lingers.

Go to Kaldor. There you'll find Embers of Fregion.

Player: "I'm on my way."

If we want to get through Ereshkigal's seal, we need the power of the First Dragon Lord Fregion.

A bomb made from our siege weapon and the Embers of Fregion should have enough power to break the seal.

Do you have good news for me, Daeva?

Player: "Not sure if this counts as good news, but here are the Embers."

I... Yes, you're quite right.... Even though these embers only contain fragments of Fregion's power, they still feel very evil.

We need to turn this and the siege weapon the Empyrean Lord sent us into a bomb... I'm not happy about it either, but we have no choice.

Could you wait a moment while I make the magic bomb for Ereshkigal's seal?

Player: "I suppose?"

(Viola closes her eyes, concentrates on the magic and recites a spell.)

(A large flame bursts forth and Viola chants louder in an attempt to suppress it.)

(A beam of impossibly bright light momentarily blinds you.)

Player: "Agent Viola?"

Whew.... I've imbued the Empyrean Lord's siege weapon with the power of the First Dragon Lord. This bomb should be able to break through Ereshkigal's seal.

Please take this to Brigade General Giscours at Redemption Landing in Upper Reshanta.

I will request help from Atreia and make preparations to leave. Please hurry.

Player: "Of course...."

Player! You're finally here!

I heard from Agent Viola that a bomb would be arriving that can break through Ereshkigal's seal. I've been waiting for you.

I'm glad you made it. Now we can finally advance to the Eye of Reshanta.

Player: "Let's hope so."

The Redeemer's Wing Legion is already waiting to depart.

Player, if you are ready as well, please join us breaking through Ereshkigal's seal and eliminating the threat against Atreia and the Elyos.

Faith and arms!

Player: "Faith and arms!"

Player! You're back safe!!

You have no idea how happy I am to see you alive!

I'm.... Ahem. I am quite relieved to see you in one piece, Daeva.

Player: "What happened with the Advance?"

As you know, the Reshanta Headquarters breached the seal to the Deep Layer and lead a force to Reshanta's Eye.

But shortly after, Ereshkigal appeared... They were attacked before they knew what hit them. They never had a chance, Daeva.

Ereshkigal and his troops were extremely powerful. The Redeemer's Wing Legion... what's left of them... had no choice but to retreat.

Player: "I see"

Only a few made it back alive.

So many dead....

And it's all my fault. I underestimated Ereshkigal and his troops. I should have never given the order to advance.

Player: "It's not your fault."

I... yes. Yes, you're right.

Ereshkigal was resurrected stronger than we thought, and still poses a great threat to us. Instead of blaming myself, I need to find a way to deal with this problem.

Thank you, Player. You helped me get back on track.
