Of course. If not us, then who?

- **Summary**: Of course. If not us, then who?

Things might have improved a bit,
but monsters still roam here in droves.
Edana... so you really intend to journey beyond?
I suppose I can no longer brand you reckless.
### Step 10
- **Objective**: Will you continue to guard the doors?
- **Summary**: Of course. If not us, who would defend this place?
It's our cradle and our tomb, isn't it?
Things might have improved a bit,
but monsters still roam here in droves.
So... you really intend to leave again, Ayawaka.
I suppose I can no longer brand you reckless.
### Step 11
- **Objective**: How's the Sanctuary holding up?
- **Summary**: All the disturbances inside have died down,
and the monsters are quieter, so things are much better.
Honestly, we're still lacking support.
Hope has been in short supply here for far too long.
### Step 12
- **Objective**: You're very different from the you I remember from long ago.
- **Summary**: Hahaha, Ayawaka! Are you trying to brag
that only you escaped the sands of time?
If there's one thing I've learned after all these years,
it's that nothing ever stays the same.
Of them all, the easiest thing to change
is the heart...
Did I disappoint you? Or do you merely
want to reminisce about our younger days?
In any case, it matters little.
Let's go have a drink sometime soon. Sound good?
### Step 13
- **Objective**: [Knowledge] Hakinza Sanctuary
- **Summary**: You have learned about the Hakinza Sanctuary.
### Step 14
- **Objective**: [Teleport] To Velia
- **Summary**: I'll send you to Velia.
### Step 15
- **Objective**: [Event] How do I stop Black Wings's invasion?
- **Summary**: Black Wings has appeared in Aetherion.
Please help us defeat it.
If you wish to return to Velia, I can arrange an urgent transport ship for you.
When you wish to come back here, seek out Martha Kiyen in Velia.
※ You can obtain [Event] Essence of Black Wings
by contributing to the subjugation of World Boss Black Wings.
※ Speak with Martha Kiyen in Velia while you have this item in your inventory
to accept [Event] Signs of Creeping Darkness.
### Step 16
- **Reward**: To seek me out so suddenly...
Some question gnaws at your mind, does it not?
### Step 17
- **Reward**: To seek me out so suddenly...
You must have some burning questions, Ayawaka!
### Step 18
- **Objective**: Do you recognize this?
- **Summary**: Hmm? What in Aal's holy name is this...? What is this?
Could it be...? Where did you come by such a thing?
Ah, of course. For one who has felled all the traitors to the throne,
it stands to reason that you might possess such a relic.
I, too, have only glimpsed it in the sacred records
passed down to each Qabal of the Hakinza Sanctuary.
### Step 19
- **Objective**: Do you recognize this?
- **Summary**: Hmm? What in Aal's holy name is this...? What is this?
Could it be...? Where did you come by such a thing?
Ah, of course. For one who has felled all the traitors to the throne,
it stands to reason that you might possess such a relic.
I, too, have only glimpsed it in the sacred records
passed down to each Qabal of the Hakinza Sanctuary.
### Step 20
- **Reward**: Written in the tongue of the Ancients, veiled in time and dust...
Much of it remains indecipherable, even to us.
### Step 21
- **Reward**: Written in the tongue of the Ancients, veiled in time and dust...
Much of it remains indecipherable, even to us.
### Step 22
- **Objective**: Mind if I take a look at those records?
- **Summary**: Ah, so you have an interest in the records?
Alas, I cannot let you hold them directly.
To even reveal its existence is a rare gift—
a privilege granted only to heroes of the Sanctuary.
In truth, they are entrusted solely to the Qabal
who oversees Hakinza. It is our burden and bond.
How much? If this is what my Branch Head seeks,
I'll pay whatever it takes. Name your price.
### Step 23
- **Objective**: Where can I find those records?
- **Summary**: Ah, so you have an interest in the records?
Alas, I cannot let you hold them directly.
To even reveal its existence is a rare gift—
a privilege granted only to trusted friends of the Qabal.
In truth, they are entrusted solely to the Qabal
who oversees Hakinza. It is our burden and bond.
How much? If this is what my Branch Head seeks,
I'll pay whatever it takes. Name your price.
### Step 24
- **Reward**: Ahem! Even if you are Calpheon's rising power broker...
To think everything can be solved with Silver...! A disgrace! Ahem!
### Step 25
- **Objective**: Isobelle...!
- **Summary**: Hm. I appreciate your... lofty ideals.
I see now—not even a mountain of coin can move your noble heart.
He's unmoved by wealth.
So we must simply find other means: steal it or take it by force.
### Step 26
- **Reward**: Lady Isobelle, shall we speak privately?
Surely there's room for... negotiation.
### Step 27
- **Reward**: True, Aal's will surpasses wealth.
But having some coin certainly helps, does it not? Haha!
### Step 28
- **Objective**: What exactly is this record?
- **Summary**: Aha... It speaks of a legendary armament.
Said to be worn by none but the true King of Edana!
Let's see... where did I put it? Ah, there!
I myself have never dared gaze upon its pages.
### Step 29
- **Objective**: So much for the sanctuary's honor...
- **Summary**: Aha... It speaks of a legendary armament.
Said to be worn by none but the true King of Edana!
Let's see... where did I put it? Ah, there!
I myself have never dared gaze upon its pages.
### Step 30
- **Reward**: Bahram glances away, gesturing toward a lone book on the shelf —
a volume far more conspicuous than the others.
### Step 31
- **Reward**: I heard you found Hitaji.
My thanks, always, Edana.
### Step 32
- **Objective**: Are the words he spoke the truth?
- **Summary**: Hahaha! Would you place your faith in the tales of a mere deserter?
Do not let the weight of it trouble you, Edana. The world is heavy enough.
To shape young men into warriors worthy of legend,
we pray each day without fail. That is all that truly matters.
You, Edana, whose hands hold the fate of this world,
need not concern yourself with such trivial matters.
### Step 33
- **Reward**: Ayawaka! I heard you found Hitaji.
This wretched deserter caused us much trouble! Hahaha!
### Step 34
- **Objective**: Bahram. Is what he said true?
- **Summary**: Hahaha! Would you place your faith in the tales of a mere deserter?
Do not let the weight of it trouble you. The world is heavy enough.
To shape young men into warriors worthy of legend, we pray each day without fail.
That is all that truly matters.
The air grows restless of late, and so discipline has grown harsh.
Yet in truth, little has changed since our own youth! It is as I say—believe it or not! Hahaha!
### Step 35
- **Reward**: Oh, you're back? I heard you went to Nymphamaré...
Judging by your face, something must have happened.
### Step 36
- **Reward**: Back so soon? I heard you went to Nymphamaré...
You never fail to surprise me!
### Step 37
- **Reward**: Why not go there and
offer a prayer for Tumaini?
### Step 38
- **Objective**: Share the news about Rusalka and Tumaini.
- **Summary**: You mean... you defeated Rusalka yourself?
Then the curse lifting from our brothers—it's your doing.
...And another precious soul has left us.
Life... is such a fleeting thing, isn't it?
There's a place inside the Sanctuary
where we honor our fallen brethren.
### Step 39
- **Objective**: Share the news about Rusalka and Tumaini.
- **Summary**: So, you defeated Rusalka!
That explains why our brothers' curse is finally lifting.
...And another precious soul has left us.
Life... is such a fleeting thing, isn't it?
Ayawaka... Tumaini started asking for you
the moment he joined us and waited ages to see you.
When you vanished without a trace, we had to announce
that something bad had befallen you on your pilgrimage.
But I never believed you were gone for good.
That's why, if you ever came back, I wanted you to meet Tumaini.
At least he finally got to see you before he passed.
I hope that brought him some peace.
There's a place inside the sanctuary
where we honor our fallen brethren.
### Step 40
- **Reward**: Ah, the hero returns! Forgive me for not greeting you—
there are matters demanding my attention.
### Step 41
- **Reward**: Ah, the hero returns! Forgive me for not greeting you—
as you can see, there are many issues to resolve.
### Step 42
- **Objective**: Did "one" Hashashin you trained with flee in the past?
- **Summary**: Why do you ask such things upon your return?
There is neither beginning nor end to these tales... Now is a time for celebration, is it not?
For now, return to your chambers and take your rest.
Tonight, I shall see that a feast is prepared in your honor.
How could I sit idle
when you have become king of this land?
### Step 43
- **Objective**: Did "one" Hashashin we trained with flee in the past?
- **Summary**: Why do you ask such questions as soon as you return?
There is no beginning or end to these tales... Should we not be busy celebrating?
For now, return to your quarters and rest.
Tonight, I shall have a feast prepared.
How could I remain idle
when my dear friend has been crowned king of this land?
### Step 44
- **Reward**: Let us share a drink this evening.
For now... duty calls, and I am needed elsewhere.
### Step 45
- **Reward**: We shall drink together tonight.
For now... I am beset by many tasks.
### Step 46
- **Reward**: I trust you, but... will it truly work?
It must serve as Aal's deliverance.
### Step 47
- **Reward**: You know our plight; our faith wanes.
It must be rekindled.
### Step 48
- **Reward**: A potion to remove the curse...
that will not come cheaply.
### Step 49
- **Objective**: We'll brew it ourselves. No shop sells such a thing.
- **Reward**: A potion to lift a curse...
that will not come cheaply.
- **Summary**: You'll make it yourselves?
Didn't think you'd go to all that trouble.
When it is done,
let me know right away.
I'm counting on you!
May Aal's grace guide your hand...
### Step 50
- **Objective**: We'll brew it ourselves. No shop sells such a thing.
- **Summary**: You'll make it yourselves?
Didn't think you'd go to all that trouble.
When it is done,
let me know right away.
### Step 51
- **Objective**: Hand over the Curse Removal Potion.
- **Summary**: I trust you, but... will it truly work?
It must serve as Aal's deliverance.
### Step 52
- **Objective**: Aal's deliverance?
- **Summary**: You know our plight; our faith wanes.
It must be rekindled.
### Step 53
- **Objective**: That and Aal are unrelated.
- **Summary**: Perhaps. But here, faith and fealty are one.
Your part will go unspoken... You understand, don't you?
### Step 54
- **Reward**: (Bahram drinks the potion.)
### Step 55
- **Objective**: ...?!
- **Summary**: Ah! Now that's a taste worth savoring.
It'll be perfect for the children.
Aah, don't worry yourself!
I only took a sip. Hah!
But Edana, things like this go through several steps—
and only at the end do we place the Seal.
But for you,
I'll make an exception.
I see no real issue here...
Do me just one favor, and I'll stamp the seal for you.
The corrupted fiends near here have grown strong,
and my brothers are struggling.
So,
I need someone of your strength to lend a hand.
While you're at it, I'll handle the potion approval—
at least, formally.
### Step 56
- **Objective**: I've lost the Red Potion.
- **Summary**: I got more from the alchemist, but next time,
make sure you don't lose it.
### Step 57
- **Reward**: Oh, Edana.
What brings you here today?
### Step 58
- **Objective**: I want to know what you think.
- **Summary**: Ha! Even Edana seeks advice now?
Now this, I find intriguing.
### Step 59
- **Reward**: Well then, what do you wish to hear?
### Step 60
- **Objective**: Which is more valuable—present or future?
- **Summary**: Ah, Edana.
You ask the most obvious things.
Have you not seen the proud Hashashins
risking their lives to guard this place?
To uphold Aal's will,
they train every single day, without fail.
### Step 61
- **Reward**: For their brothers, there's nothing the Hashashins wouldn't do.
That's why, perhaps, the future is more precious.
### Step 62
- **Objective**: ...You speak as if you're not one of them.
- **Summary**: No, that's not it.
There's simply too much I must protect to risk my life so easily.
If I, the Qabal, were absent,
who would oversee the sanctuary's affairs?
I believe each of us doing our best in our own place—
that is Aal's true will.
So I focus on the present,
and give everything I have for everyone's sake.
### Step 63
- **Reward**: Don't worry too much, Edana.
As long as you have the necklace, you'll be fine.
### Step 64
- **Objective**: I don't need the necklace.
- **Summary**: Not fond of necklaces? I'll make you earrings instead.
Don't refuse—just take them.
(...Seems like you're not getting through.)
### Step 65
- **Objective**: It's not fear.
- **Summary**: Wahahaha! No need to be bashful.
Such a reaction is only natural here in the land of death.
(...Seems like you're not getting through.)
### Step 66
- **Objective**: ...I've brought the ivory pieces.
- **Summary**: Oh? You're back already?
You really are swift.
### Step 67
- **Objective**: Anything else you want to say?
- **Summary**: Edana, did you know?
Even the Hashashins fear the future, for it's unknown to all.
When their hearts waver,
they carry this necklace as an amulet.
Can you feel their willpower in it?
And there's only one reason they go that far.
### Step 68
- **Reward**: For Aal's will. For that one belief.
Face the present, for the future to come.
### Step 69
- **Objective**: You said you focus on the present. Why?
- **Summary**: Edana! Don't let my words
weigh on you too long.
Like I said before,
what matters most depends on each person's circumstances.
Whatever you choose,
I can understand.
Putting one's own interests first—
that's what mortals do.
It's not a bad thing.
In fact, it might be the wiser path.
### Step 70
- **Reward**: Anyway, now that you have the necklace,
you can do even more for us, right?
Nothing in this world comes free, you know. Haha!
### Step 71
- **Reward**: Thanks to you, the monsters that plagued us have dwindled,
and we can finally breathe easy.
### Step 72
- **Objective**: I dealt with them solely for hindering my path.
- **Summary**: Ha! Even humility graces the king.
Now, let us make good use of this rare moment of peace.
### Step 73
- **Reward**: Yet, lately, the spirits of our soldiers have fallen low.
No doubt the monsters breaching the Sanctuary are to blame.
### Step 74
- **Objective**: I heard the Young Lions were utterly destroyed.
- **Summary**: Indeed. And that is not all.
The Sand Scorpion scouting party was shattered, forced to rebuild from ruin.
If we persist in this manner, greater calamity shall surely follow.
We must find a way to restore the spirits of our soldiers.
### Step 75
- **Reward**: Thank you, O King of Edana.
### Step 76
- **Objective**: What supplies are required?
- **Summary**: The fallen Hashashins shall be cremated, as tradition demands.
Yet we lack the logs needed for the ritual pyre.
### Step 77
- **Reward**: Could you fell the trees near the Sanctuary for logs?
I'd ask for about 15.
### Step 78
- **Objective**: I have brought the logs.
- **Summary**: Already?
You've gathered them so swiftly!
### Step 79
- **Reward**: And if you could bring 15 of them as well,
it would ease our burdens. For the soldiers' meals, you see.
### Step 80
- **Objective**: I've hunted the mountain sheep.
- **Summary**: You mean to say you've brought all this, and so quickly?
As swift as a sandstorm, indeed! Hahaha!
### Step 81
- **Reward**: Try crossing the bridge behind the trading post. You'll find them there.
I'm swamped with duties and cannot accompany you.
### Step 82
- **Reward**: Thanks to you, the monsters have grown scarce.
Hahaha! My gratitude!
### Step 83
- **Objective**: It was my duty as a Hashashin. Nothing less.
- **Summary**: Ha! You never disappoint me!
Now, let us seize this rare lull and make ready.
### Step 84
- **Reward**: Yet, as of late, the spirits of our soldiers have fallen low.
No doubt the monsters breaching the Sanctuary are to blame.
### Step 85
- **Objective**: Many young warriors have fallen.
- **Summary**: Yes. And that is not all.
The Sand Scorpion scouting party was decimated, forced to rebuild.
If morale continues to wane, more lives will be lost.
We must find a way to bolster the spirits of our soldiers.
### Step 86
- **Reward**: Hah. You never cease to uphold honor, Ayawaka!
Truthfully, I knew you could not refuse.
### Step 87
- **Objective**: You are ever sly, Bahram.
- **Summary**: And you remain steadfast! Hahaha.
I remember well, before you departed this place.
The funeral rites shall be held by fire, as our forebears decreed.
Yet we lack the logs for the pyre.
### Step 88
- **Reward**: Fell the trees near the Sanctuary and bring us the logs—
about 15 should suffice.
### Step 89
- **Objective**: I have brought the logs.
- **Summary**: Already?
You are swifter than you were in years past! Hahaha!
### Step 90
- **Reward**: Hahaha!
None but you could do it!
### Step 91
- **Objective**: Enough. How many do you need?
- **Summary**: 15 mountain sheep will suffice.
Leave the rest to me!
### Step 92
- **Reward**: Ayawaka! I am counting on you!
I have work piled high.
### Step 93
- **Objective**: I have brought the mountain sheep.
- **Summary**: For one as swift as the sandstorm,
this task is mere child's play! Is it not? Hahaha!
### Step 94
- **Reward**: Ahem, so... After you took those records,
I too searched the archives of the Sanctuary.
### Step 95
- **Objective**: Did you find anything else?
- **Summary**: Indeed. What I uncovered was... none other than a piece of the legendary armament itself!
It was just like the one you showed me before.
Given the extraordinary purity of the Black Energy within,
it seems it was kept under the strictest secrecy.
Until now, its true purpose remained shrouded in mystery,
and it is not a material that lends itself to easy processing.
### Step 96
- **Objective**: You say you found something more?
- **Summary**: Yes. What I discovered was... a piece of that legendary armament!
It matched exactly what you once revealed to me.
With the Black Energy so pure,
it appears it was hidden away in the most secretive of places.
No one had yet discerned its purpose,
nor is it something one could simply process on a whim.
### Step 97
- **Reward**: Five pieces have been found in total.
It seems our ancestors claimed them through fierce struggle.
### Step 98
- **Reward**: Five pieces were found in total.
It seems our ancestors claimed them through fierce struggle.
### Step 99
- **Objective**: And you share this with me because..?
- **Summary**: Surely the records have already told you?
That armament reveals its true power only in the presence of the King of Edana.
Thus, as Qabal of Hakinza Sanctuary,
I would present you with a special offer.
Though I have entrusted you with the records,
this piece is a sacred legacy of the Sanctuary... I cannot simply give it away.
### Step 100
- **Objective**: Why tell me all this?
- **Summary**: You've read the records, haven't you?
The armament's true worth is revealed only before the King of Edana.
As Qabal of Hakinza Sanctuary,
I would make you a special proposal.
I have given you the records, yes, but this is the legacy of the Sanctuary...
I cannot part with it for nothing. Ahem!
### Step 101
- **Reward**: Even if we cannot wield them, passing on the legacy of our forebears...
Surely, such a choice demands a great resolve, does it not?
### Step 102
- **Reward**: To use what our ancestors left for this Sanctuary—
As the Qabal, such a decision should not be made lightly. Wouldn't you agree? Hmm?
### Step 103
- **Objective**: ...What is it that you desire?
- **Summary**: Ahem! You understand quickly.
The Sanctuary's most urgent need is supplies above all else.
So, if you were to bring me a precious accessory,
I would gladly accept it in exchange for the piece.
All of it will be put to good use for the Sanctuary.
Let us aid each other for the good of all. What say you?
### Step 104
- **Objective**: ...You've become quite the merchant, Bahram.
- **Summary**: Oh, come now! Everything I do is for the Sanctuary's sake.
No need to phrase it like that, eh, Ayawaka? Hmph.
...Ahem. In any case,
what the Sanctuary needs most right now is supplies.
So, if you could procure a rare accessory,
I would happily accept it—and hand over the piece in return.
Everything will be put to use for the Sanctuary's benefit.
Let us work together for our mutual good. What do you say?
### Step 105
- **Reward**: Ahem. After you took those records,
I too searched the archives of the Sanctuary.

A pleasure to meet you.
### Step 157
- **Reward**: Hahaha! Feels like just yesterday we were in boot camp together,
but a decade's sands have slipped away already!
### Step 158
- **Reward**: For you all to come here in these troubled times,
perhaps Aal has not given up on this place after all.
### Step 159
- **Reward**: For Ayawaka to return now, in these difficult times,
perhaps Aal has not given up on this place after all.
### Step 160
- **Reward**: That's why I had to make an urgent request to the Society of Equilibrium.
Should this sanctuary fall, all hell will break lose, quite literally.
### Step 161
- **Reward**: That's why I had to make an urgent request to the Society of Equilibrium.
But with you back, Ayawaka, maybe fortune will favor us...
### Step 162
- **Reward**: They've gone deeper into Edania.
Looked like they were searching for something.
### Step 163
- **Reward**: They've gone deeper into Edania.
Looked like they were searching for something.
### Step 164
- **Reward**: Only the child of a criminal sentenced to annihilation of their bloodline,
or an orphan with nothing left, is given a chance.
### Step 165
- **Reward**: Grueling training makes it hard to shake stray thoughts.
Now, even the prophecy of the Blackstar, which so many relied on...
### Step 166
- **Reward**: But the "Red Star" that fell on Calpheon wasn't what we'd hoped for.
It carried within no savior...
### Step 167
- **Reward**: But through your decision, it was revealed there was no salvation.
It was a bitter pill, but it came at a critical moment.
### Step 168
- **Objective**: You said... "troubled times."
- **Summary**: Since you're Edana, I shall speak plainly—
Hakinza Sanctuary is at the brink of demise.
The rules governing reinforcements are so inflexible,
new recruits dwindle by the day, and casualties just keep rising.
Recently, monsters have multiplied explosively,
and we've even suffered devastating losses. Honestly, it's hopeless.
### Step 169
- **Objective**: You said... "difficult times."
- **Summary**: No reason to hide anything from you, so honestly,
Hakinza Sanctuary is at the brink of demise.
The rules for recruiting are exactly the same as before you left!
New recruits dwindle by the day and casualties just keep rising.
Recently, monsters have multiplied explosively,
and we've even suffered devastating losses. Honestly, it's hopeless.
### Step 170
- **Objective**: Then why turn away adventurers who come?
- **Summary**: No matter how exceptional their reputation outside,
here, they're just normal people like everyone else.
Of course, there are adventurers who passed Wariyana's test.
If they're strong, we have no reason to turn them away, right?
I suppose those are the ones coexisting with a Black Spirit.
So, where are those who passed the test now?
### Step 171
- **Objective**: Then why turn away adventurers who come?
- **Summary**: No matter how much they accomplished in the outside world,
here, they're just ordinary people like anyone else.
You shared both hardship and joy with us in the Sanctuary,
so you know how it is. We just want to avoid pointless sacrifices.
Of course, some adventurers passed Wariyana's test.
If they're strong, we have no reason to turn them away!
I heard Wariyana put you through the test, too?
Seems you haven't lost your touch. Hahaha!
I suppose those are the ones coexisting with a Black Spirit.
So, where are those who passed the test now?
### Step 172
- **Objective**: Why is it so hard to bring in new Hashashins?
- **Summary**: This is a place quietly protecting the world
in the shadows at the edge of all existence.
For people like us, there's no family to go back to, no land to feed family,
no property to build on. Not a single thing is given.
All that's permitted is honor alone, so only those
who need nothing but honor can become Hashashin.
### Step 173
- **Objective**: You still recruit rookies the same old way?
- **Summary**: I know you've been away for quite some time,
but knowing how things are, must you ask?
You know how tough a decision it is to become Hashashin.
You're the one who cared about honor more than anyone.
No matter how skilled, if someone did not value honor,
you never let them be. Hahaha!
### Step 174
- **Objective**: You've been fighting an endless battle all this time.
- **Summary**: Honor and faith—those are what have sustained us.
Once, we waited for the Blackstar.
Some believed the Blackstar sent by Aal would deliver salvation
and lead us into paradise.
### Step 175
- **Objective**: The Blackstar I went searching for...
- **Summary**: I know. I know!
Maybe, deep down. we already knew the truth.
No place to return to, surrounded by a harsh environment,
brothers falling one after another... we thirsted for salvation.
If not for those sweet whispers,
many of our brothers would not have made it through!
### Step 176
- **Objective**: Will you keep waiting for the Blackstar?
- **Summary**: No one here still believes in the Blackstar.
Despair is eating away at us instead of hope.
### Step 177
- **Objective**: Will you... still wait on the Blackstar?
- **Summary**: No one here still believes in the Blackstar.
Despair is eating away at us instead of hope.
### Step 178
- **Reward**: Well... it's not a difficult task,
but I doubt it will help much.
### Step 179
- **Reward**: Paradise, salvation. Every legend and tale about those words
have been passed on over eons.
### Step 180
- **Reward**: If you're curious, why not search the old records?
They are traces of people who dreamed as we did.
### Step 181
- **Reward**: This is one of what the past generations of Hashashin left behind
imagining the days when this place was called Alyaelli.
### Step 182
- **Objective**: Legend?
- **Summary**: Now, they're just empty dreams,
but they were our hope and our goal once.
### Step 183
- **Objective**: Alyaelli...
- **Summary**: Bahram, with your permission,
may the Society entrust this record to their keeping awhile?
I just feel... there are parts that seem worth cross-referencing
with what I saw recently in the archive.
Well... do as you wish. What matters to us now
isn't some old dream, but the reality staring us in the face.
### Step 184
- **Reward**: We're under attack!!!!
### Step 185
- **Reward**: W-what?! We can't have rookies at the front at a time like this!
Edana! Help us! We cannot lose those brothers!!
### Step 186
- **Reward**: W-what?! We can't have rookies at the front at a time like this!
Ayawaka! Help us! We cannot lose those brothers!!
### Step 187
- **Reward**: Well... it's not a difficult task,
but I doubt it will help much.
### Step 188
- **Reward**: ...And how desperately we clung to that single promise.
All sorts of myths multiplied until they eclipsed reason.
### Step 189
- **Reward**: Would you look at the old records again?
The traces of those who shared our dreams.
### Step 190
- **Reward**: Those are old records left by those who tried to imagine the time
when this place was called "Alyaelli." Do you still remember?
### Step 191
- **Reward**: Ah, look at me. Almost forgot!
Here, Ayawaka. Take this token.
### Step 192
- **Objective**: ...Myths?
- **Summary**: What was once our hope and ambition...
has now revealed itself to be just a legend.
### Step 193
- **Objective**: I've read and re-read it, countless times.
- **Summary**: Bahram, with your permission,
may the Society entrust this record to their keeping awhile?
I just feel... there are parts that seem worth cross-referencing
with what I saw recently in the archive.
Well... do as you wish. What matters to us now
isn't some old dream, but the reality staring us in the face.
### Step 194
- **Objective**: Is this... the Qabal's Token?
- **Summary**: Sure, most here are your juniors,
but not many people left will recognize your face.
