When night falls on Echoes of the Past, the Aether energy suddenly intensifies, causing the nearby ruins to glow and immobile objects to come to life. It fills me with a horrible sense of foreboding.

Some think that studying this phenomenon might help us rebuild the Aetheric Field. I, however, have little hope that the Aetheric Field can be restored.

We're experiencing a lot of difficulties with our investigation, because the creatures around the temple are particularly hostile towards intruders. Player, could you assist with the protection and scouting of the Ruins of Ancient Echoes, so that we can investigate the ruins safely?

Player: Accept

Well done, Player. You must have a very strong will. I don't think we belong in this place, the Asmodians or the Elyos. Only hardship awaits us.

Still, your efforts are appreciated. Perhaps now we can continue with our research.
