### Step 5

- **Objective**: Unexpected, was it?

- **Summary**: Why, of all places, do you think
the Doors of Alyaelli opened here again?  
True, it was Ibedor who chose this place—  
There must be a reason for it, do you not think?
Do you remember our first meeting?
The day we ventured together to Hystria?


### Step 6

- **Reward**: Surely, that day remains unforgettable to you as well—
The day chance and destiny became entwined.


### Step 7

- **Objective**: Why does that day come to mind now?

- **Summary**: On that day, I awakened the Black Spirits that had been sealed,
For it was necessary to stand against the Primordial Darkness.
Yet, as I found hope in that place,
So too did the darkness sense the dread that lingered there.
We were two sides of the same coin—
My fortune was Her misfortune.
Ibedor, the Servant of Darkness,
sought a way to vanquish the Black Spirits for Her.


### Step 8

- **Reward**: Through that door, I sought to devour the fragmented Black Spirits
Before they could become whole once more.


### Step 9

- **Objective**: If you've come this far, perhaps that plan has failed.

- **Summary**: You are quick to understand, as always.
But do you also see this? That the cause of failure... was you?
The mindless Black Spirits flew here and were devoured—
A grievous loss.
But the most powerful Black Spirit of all... It found a new vessel.
Who, I wonder, has become its host?


### Step 10

- **Reward**: Yes, it was you—
You were the variable the darkness never foresaw.
