Where on Atreia did you get this?! I've dealt with many souls in my time, but these are some of the toughest.

In fact, there are two souls inside who wouldn't respond to my call. I believe they are the cause of the nightmares.

Player: "Who are they?"

I don't know--they won't say.

There is only one solution, I'm afraid. Only one way to learn the answer. You must enter your nightmare and witness Kromede's Trial in person to uncover the truth.

Player: Accept.

I can't guarantee your safety, you know. Once you are witness to Kromede's Trial, you'll be completely disconnected from the outside world. No one will be able to help you.

Prepare yourself mentally and physically. When you're fully ready to witness Kromede's Trial, come see me again and I'll help you inside.

Player: "I will prepare."

Good, then let's get to it. There's nothing more to prepare.

Take my hand, and I'll send you to Kromede's Trial....

Player: (Attend Kromede's Trial.)

What? Nightmares? Are you a child?

Grow up! You should no longer fear petty dreams when you have other things to concern yourself with. The Abyss, the Balaur....

There are many more important things in this world that require your attention, Player. I suggest you go about doing them.

Player: "Sorry!"

No no no! You're in a party!

Linking souls requires a high degree of concentration. There must be nothing interrupting the connection between you and me, Player.

If you still wish to go, leave your party first.

Player: "I see. One moment."

(Something glows within the Crystal Ball.)

(You can barely read the words "Maga's Potion" on the side.)

(It looks like the item Kaliga asked you to get is within.)

Player: "This must be it!"

(You feel an ominous rush.)

(You feel that there is something very wrong with Robstin.)

(You must take Maga's Potion NOW and hurry back to Kaliga's Manor.)

Player: "I'll have to teleport!"

(Tears streaming down your face, you carefully examine the body of Robstin with trembling hands.)

(Robstin appears to have been severely and slowly tortured, and his body has been damaged. He must have suffered greatly before he died.)

(Deep sorrow rushes up from the bottom of your heart, but it is another emotion that pushes tears from your eyes now: fury.)

Player: "They...will...PAY!"

The souls in this stone must be those who died in the prison beneath Kaliga's Manor. The two who resisted my call were no doubt Robstin and Kromede. But I hear Kromede still lives.... Her emotion must've been strong enough to leave an echo.

I hope they--and you--can rest peacefully now. It seems like you achieved some degree of vengeance, as Kromede once did. I hope that brings closure.

If you don't mind, I'll keep this thing. I find it highly interesting. If you wish, I'll let you back into Kromede's Trial anytime you want. Just stop by anytime.
