==Episode 2: Twilight Desert== The story picks off the next day after the party at the Coffer Chasers Guild. Kean tells Milo and the Rookie that his commission has been completed only partially, as "the stone that creates miracles" hasn't been found. Consulting with Enzo at the [[Magic Shack]], they manage to assemble the buoy and enchant it with a tracking spell, then throw the buoy into the sea. Meanwhile, the Coffer Chasers Guild receives a letter from the rivaling Rodluvan guild branch, in which its leader, [[Idal]], congratulates the treasure hunters for their endeavors at the [[Ship Graveyard]]. Tristan attempts to head to Rodluvan (to challenge Idal in a duel), but Esyllt and Asher manage to stop him. Kean expresses surprise at how Milo and the Rookie would use the buoy to track down the stone. At the Magic Shack, Enzo informs the party that the tracker broke and asks to consult with more capable magicians in Colhen on the matter. Milo insists on joining, but changes his mind after being threatened by Allysse. With no choice at hand, the Rookie travels back to Colhen's Magician Laboratory, where he meets Brynn and Ellis. Knowing full well of Ellis's fate, the merc attempts to stop him, but is unable to do so, as the cadet flees in panic. Brynn expresses his inability to fix the tracking device (at the same time, slipping out that Enzo lost his wife and son) and sends the mercenary to Reilly. The old man fixes the device, but asks the Rookie to bring Ellis to him, as there's something important Reilly must tell him. The Rookie manages to catch up with Ellis as he prepares to depart to [[Ainle]]. He tries to persuade Ellis to not go, but his attempt fails once again. Praying for the young cadet's safety, the mercenary departs to Malina. _______________________ With the repaired tracker, Enzo manages to track the buoy to the [[Twilight Desert]], the barren lands of the dead and burning sands. In there, the party encounters the tacit [[Grim Reaper]], that hands Milo a strange relic box. The conversation is interrupted by the appearance of a blonde girl with a bird, who demands to see the box. Refusing to give up the relic, the party flees the scene. Back at the Coffer Chasers Guild, the Coffer Chasers inspect the contents of the box and among the utensils they find a strange mask, shaped like a human face. Tristan recalls seeing something like that mask before, so he sifts through occult documents, while Milo, the Rookie and the robed woman head to the Inn. There, Allysse notices a strange smell around both Milo and the Rookie, despite the robed woman not feeling anything of the sort. Milo decides to take a rest, while the Merc is sent to the [[Finnec|constable]] to be reprimanded for the unauthorized venture into the Twilight Desert. In the meantime, the captive lizardman, [[Lazkum]], asks the Rookie if he met his kind in the desert. Members of his race were used to be slaves for the long lost kingdom until it fell to ruins. Some lizardmen escaped to the mainland, while some stayed. Before Lazkum could say anything else, Finnec cuts the conversation and sends the Rookie off. Tristan finally figures out that the relic is known as the Death Mask, a relic that is made based on the image of the deceased, and it originates from the long lost kingdom of the Twilight Desert. Another letter from [[Idal]] arrives, which spurs anger within Tristan once again. Kean asks the Rookie to continue the search. At the Magic Shack, Enzo, also noticing the smell, wonders how Milo and the Rookie will find the blue crystal with information this scarce, but when said about the Grim Reaper, he tasks the Rookie with providing Enzo the Grim Reaper's essence so he could conjure a communion spell in order to understand the Grim Reaper's language. As the Rookie and Milo manage to obtain the essence of the Grim Reaper, they walk to the nearby oasis, where they notice the strange woman in a red robe. The woman demands them to identify themselves, which they do. When asked about what she's doing in the desert, she replies that she seeks her beloved. Their further conversation is interrupted by the appearance of the girl with a bird, and the woman in red flees. Frustrated with her attitude, Milo and the Rookie leave. At the Magic Shack, Enzo melts the Grim Reaper's essence as Milo and the Rookie tell him about their encounter with a robed woman. The magician denies the possibility, then casts the spell on them, that eliminates the emanating odor. The essence melts and Enzo concocts a spell that will allow Milo and the Rookie to speak to the Grim Reaper. _______________________ Milo and the Rookie reach the tacit [[Grim Reaper]] in the Twilight Desert and they're finally able establish a conversation. The Grim Reaper tells the story of the Lost Kingdom, and the tragedy that unfolded there: the king's princess fell in love with one of the royal guards, which enraged the king. The guard has been beheaded for treason, and the princess committed suicide through poison. Further inquiry from Enzo explains that the king of the Twilight Desert's kingdom has been regarded as the sun god, and the princesses were regarded as oracles. Milo feels unusually dizzy, and the magician sends him to the Inn, while the mercenary back to Colhen with the blueprints, provided by Enzo, so that the local mages could upgrade the tracker. In addition, Enzo warns the Rookie about Milo's condition and recommends to seek his help if the condition gets worse. At Colhen, the Rookie is met with grim news: [[Ellis]] is dead. With the burdening feeling of powerlessness over inability to change the predetermined events, he asks Reilly to modify the tracker, but is sent to [[Brynn]] instead. Examining the blueprints, Brynn points out that the modified tracker will be able to track even gods. After gathering the required materials, Brynn successfully modifies the tracker. Back at the Twilight Desert, the Rookie and Milo once again meet the mysterious woman, who introduces herself as [[Iset]]. She is revealed to be both the princess and the oracle, that died long ago, and what she seeks is her beloved guard, [[Havan]]. Before she could say more, the talk is once again interrupted by the girl with the bird. Iset runs away, but not before mentioning about "the Head Priest". Milo believes that girl to be [[Idal]], but she quickly disproves that, revealing that Idal is a man (however, she is suggested to be a fellow Coffer Chaser). She then tells the Rookie and Milo that Iset was resurrected all of a sudden and poses danger for the living. _______________________ The Coffer Chasers Guild in Malina is visited by the leader of the Coffer Chasers' Rodluvan branch, [[Idal]]. As Asher and Esyllt struggle to keep Tristan from attacking, Idal reveals he retired from being a Coffer Chaser, and is only in charge of managing the guild's affairs. More than that, he is sent on the request from the kingdom to retrieve the holy artifacts that were lost on the sunken ship. The guild master requires cooperation with the Malina branch, as they've sighted one of the Coffer Chasers, [[Solair]], wandering the territory of the [[Twilight Desert]], where the artifacts are supposed to be hidden. Kean demands the authenticity of his words, which Idal provides. The conversation ends abruptly when, learning that Kean also is on the direct request from the royal king, Idal expresses disbelief, as Kean "is only the Royal Guard", which infuriates Kean. Milo and the Rookie travel back to the [[Twilight Desert]], fighting the mummified soldiers led by [[Commander Ikrium]], and encounter Iset within one of the tombs. She tells that originally the Lost Kingdom has been on the surface, where the sun shone every day, and her people, being descendants of the sun god, received blessings and strength from the sun. But her father, the king, proclaimed himself as the only sun and constructed the underground city, dooming people to extinction as they were led under the ground, where the sun wouldn't reach. Iset pleaded her father to reconsider, but the negotiations ended in failure. Iset asks the group to find the Head Priest Altheron and his ritual tools in the underground city, where lizard slaves ([[Lizardmen]]) and rats dwell, in exchange for the information on the blue crystal. Milo agrees and believes that [[Lazkum]] may provide some help. Back in [[Malina]], the group attempts to talk to Lazkum at the [[Constable's Office]], but constable [[Finnec]] prevents them from obtaining the information they require. Milo attempts to break Lazkum out of captivity, enlisting the help of [[Cennet]], [[Videk]] and the robed woman. They put both the constable and Idal, who was nearby, to sleep, but due to unexpected circumstances, their plan backfire. Just as the Rookie, Milo, Cennet and Videk are arrested, the robed woman discards her robe, revealing to be [[Seanna]]. She orders the constable to release everyone involved, using her status as the military oracle. By Idal's approval, the constable reluctantly releases everyone, including the lizardman. ________________________ In the Magic Shack, Lazkum is reunited with Enzo, and he finally tells Milo and the Rookie information. He relays that after the king died, the enslaved lizardmen fled from their captivity. But they had no god, and therefore no purpose or hope for tomorrow. In despair, most of the lizardmen went to seek solace underground. Lazkum, however, sought life on the surface, so he left his compatriots with whom he promised to seek a new god and went on search for a place to live without gods, and eventually found solace in [[Malina]]. He then points the location of the underground city on the map, as the group departs back to the [[Twilight Desert]]. The party reaches the Lost Kingdom's underground city, where they seek out and defeat [[Alteron the Chief Priest|the Head Priest Altheron]] in battle. Iset appears, but finds no sight of her beloved. As she laments in despair, Solair arrives to the tomb, and she flees. Milo and Solair recognize each other. Together, they return to the Coffer Chasers guild. After brief reintroductions, Solair reveals that what Iset is looking for now isn't really a person, but the remaining soul of her beloved, which is locked away within the Death Mask. The Death Mask is made after the faces of traitors, using their blood as the material, and Iset's lover, Havan, has been the last person from which the mask was made. The princess seeks Havan's soul to bring him back to life, along with the entire Lost Kingdom. Fascinated by Iset, Milo snatches the Death Mask and flees to the Twilight Desert. Solair attempts to give chase, but realizes no one but Milo knows where Iset is now and it is later learned that Milo ran off with the tracker. With the help of Enzo, and [[Seanna]]'s mysterious powers, the Rookie and Solair arrive at the place, where they find Iset and an unconscious Milo. A fight ensures and Iset is defeated, but not before she revives [[Havan]], who is resurrected as the golem made of sand and stone. After an arduous battle, Havan is defeated by combined tactics of both the Rookie and Solair. Milo regains consciousness and together they leave the Twilight Desert. Back in the Coffer Chasers Guild, Asher attempts to force Milo into apologizing but is cut off by Esyllt and Solair. Allysse confiscates the tracker and advises Milo to be more careful of trusting unknown people in the future. Milo tells the Rookie to meet Iset in the desert, as she didn't forget the promise she made with Milo. Meeting her at the oasis, the place where they first met, Iset expresses disappointment over her sad end, but thanks both the Rookie and Milo for helping her. As promised, she handed the shining erg crystal to the mercenary and asked to give her thanks to Milo. Kean is overjoyed to find that the shining erg crystal is in fact the relic the pair was looking for, having confirmed so by [[Seanna]]. With the commission having finally completed, the Coffer Chasers Guild is overflowing with joy. Seanna tells the Rookie, that the power in the crystal isn't belonging to [[Morrighan]], but another god, a heretic. In addition, Milo fell asleep and doesn't seem to wake up. Meanwhile, Allysse and Enzo are discussing Milo's strange condition. Allysse please the magician to teach her so she could bring Milo back from his sleep, but their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of the mercenary. Enzo then tells Allysse, that Milo will wake up once the erg crystal leaves [[Malina]], and goads her to see the semblance of the crystal's power with something, as she is fated to find out soon enough. The episode ends with the Enzo's ominous words: "the Dawn is coming".
