Mirage Village
- Young Lady
- You’re the ones housing Spirits that the priest predicted would come. You’re here to take part in the Evolution Ceremony, right? I see I need to explain things to you. Evolution is a ceremony conducted when the Spirits are fully formed. The Evolution ritual is held in the desert in the Tower of Illusion.
- Young Man
- I wonder how long it’s been since we’ve had any travelers? Time stands still in this village, so we welcome outsiders. Why don’t you stay awhile?
- Woman
- When our culture collapsed... we survived because we followed the High Priest who brought us here. Although we are very grateful to him for saving our lives, it’s sometimes difficult to live in a place where time has no meaning.
- Young Man
- Are you looking for the High Priest?

(YES)
- Young Man
- The High Priest has already left for the Tower of Illusion, to prepare for your arrival. He is awaiting you on the top floor of the tower. Entering the tower, and then proceeding to the top are the tasks set for you. These two things will be your test for Evolution. That’s why he went before you.
(NO)
- Young Man
- To undergo the ceremony of Evolution, you must solve the mystery of the stone tablets that surround the tower. Then your physical and mental powers will be tested as you make your way to the top floor of the tower.
- Old Man
- The fact that you’re here means that 1000 years has passed since the fall our our kingdom. Hah! Things here haven’t changed at all. The sun keeps blazing without ever setting, and everything is the same as it has been for the last 1000 years.
House
- Narrator
- Arthur checked the window. It’s very dusty.

(If the equipment is the same)
- Snaggy
- Try again! That’s one of mine! You opened your mouth and stuck your foot right in it, didn’t ya? And you call yourself experienced?
(If the equipment is superior)
- Snaggy
- Wha... Where did you get that? You didn’t find that here, did ya? It certainly is superior to mine. I think I need more training and I’ll start first thing tomorrow morning.

Shop
- Freddie
- Although we live in a world where there are no battles, we do sometimes run across monsters. That’s why we need equipment. The weapon and armor shops are always busy.
- Dave
- You are surprised that we offer such advanced equipment here, aren’t you? Craftsmen here have all the time in the world to hone their skills. They make the very best.

- Matthew
- The Spirit usually consists of two male parts and one female part. Do you know why?
-Begin Question Options-
-can repeat for all-
(YES)
- Matthew
- The number three has a strong connection with the Creator. When a task is at hand, the Creator thinks of three.
(YES)
- Matthew
- When humans start to gather in large numbers, strife is almost inevitable. Men were created to crave power, while women were instilled with the virtues of compassion. If only men received the Spirit, the effect would be to have a dictatorship, while if only women were imbued there would be a problem of whom to trust. The Creator made men and women differently, so the Spirit is the same to bring harmony.
