* Story *

(This mission takes place during the events of A Sorrowful Farewell. If you haven't already played ASF 
I highly recommend you to do so before playing this mission.)


Valfar asked me to put the Artifact on the pedestal in the abyss and wake up the Guardians. He warned me 
that the sheer force of magic released by doing so might make me leave this world for a short while; and 
indeed that was what happened. But where did I go?
