- PhernosWe found a massive structure while scouting below the temple. It did not look like a door, not with all the rubble around it.
- That seems to be the entrance, according to the statues.
- NaniaIs there a way in?
- LuterosWe were told to recite incantations within the circle while holding the mace. Rireve, Resielle, Mentercis.
- Then the secret gate will open. However... they told us not to touch the holy relic called the Warding Feather.
- PhernosBut that is the entire reason we are trying to get inside.

- LuterosI'm not so sure. They specifically warned us, saying we'd need to "prove ourselves".
- NaniaLuteros, you stay behind. I can handle the mace better than you.
- PhernosWe are not sure if the entrance can be opened again from the inside. You will have to stay there to keep it from closing.
- NaniaAll alone...? This place gives me the creeps.
- Daeva, come with me.
- LuterosDon't be reckless! Come straight back if anything feels wrong!
- NaniaThis must be the relic storage.
- I'll start the incantation, so you can grab the relic. Now, let's begin.
- NaniaThis is the Warding Feather? Remarkable. To be looking at a holy relic with my own eyes...
- They said this can protect from all kinds of poison and attacks?
- Incredible. Let's take it to Phernos.
- PhernosDo you have Zumion's holy relic?
- Ah yes, this must be it. There is no doubt. It emits a powerful healing aura.
