Journal

  • Yalfort is so engrossed in the slip of paper in his hands that he barely notices your approach. Do try not to startle him.
  • Though it may seem that Yalfort never budges from his usual spot, he assures you that he has been busy preparing for your next expedition into the Empty. Ryne and Gaia then make a timely appearance and regale you with tales of their activities in the Crystarium, which range from fairly constructive to...eating biscuits. There will, however, be ample time for further discussion aboard the skyslipper, which is ready and waiting at the Derrick.
  • Upon arrival at the outpost, Gaia rather uncharacteristically offers to help by piloting the skyslipper. It appears that during her time in the Crystarium, she has learned not only to control this complex, shoe-like craft, but she has also gained a degree of consideration for others. You had best hop aboard before she changes her mind.
  • The long and normally dreary voyage across the Empty is made far more pleasant by lively conversation. Sadly, this buoyant mood is short-lived as you are met with an unwelcome sight when you reach your destination. The once lush and verdant plant life is drained of color and vitality, much to your dismay. The crystal that towers about the camp has taken on an ominous, white glow, indicating that the balance between Darkness and Light has shifted in favor of the latter. Suddenly, Gaia clutches her head, and it becomes all too clear that her ordeal is far from over.
