- DioniWhat brings you here? You don't look like pilgrims.
- CaelidWe're looking for Ardus Shrine.
- DioniArdus Shrine exists, but it's not always open to entry.
- Even if you can see it, only the worthy may enter, and only then after following the proper procedures.
- However, with the garden in such chaos, the shrine only has all the more reason not to let you pass.
- CaelidWe must first calm the garden, then. We'll begin by taking care of the rifts.
- NestorYou're planning to close the rifts and stop the spirits?
- Those poor things. They're truly primal spirits, summoned by the Illusion God himself many eons ago.
- With nobody to follow, they've been taken over by the rift aura. Now, they're no different from any other monsters...
- We're trying our best to clear up this situation. Sister Anteia has gone deep within the garden to try to stop the spirits.
- I'm worried she might've taken on too much of a burden by herself. Can you please go see if she's alright?
- Let us pray together, for our Lord's return, and an end to this chaos.
- AnteiaWho are you? You don't look like a pilgrim. What brings you to this dangerous place?
- Nestor sent you? *sigh* I'm sorry you've been dragged into our mess.
- But I can't go back yet. It's still as bad here as it's ever been.
- I may not have much strength, but I can't sit by and watch things get worse.
- Seeker of the Shrine. You may not be a pilgrim, but I sense no evil within you. Will you lend us your strength?
- If we combine our strength, we will be able to pacify the Spirits.
- AnteiaThe energy has changed. The whispers of the spirits and the rift's tremors have stopped.
- Oh Illusion God, please watch over us.
- I offer my blood and bones, so that this land may carry out your will.
