Deep within Delkfutt's Tower unaware of the epic battle in the sky, the last few remaining Zilart work diligently at the crystal power core of the tower.

Suddenly the power flow begins to fluctuate violently as a reaction to Lion’s bravery above.

Wolfgang and his Ducal Guards securing the area are blown back my a massive explosion.

When he comes to, he enters the control room to find all the zilart missing, and only a small boy.

The boy appears to be in a coma and is taken to the town hospital. Dr. Monberaux, Wolfgang's once childhood friend tends to the boy, but can find now reason why he is in a coma.

Wolfgang waits outside for word on the boy, but just as he awakens a mysterious figure in Zilart clothing with a strange eye piece appears. He is recognized as Nag'molada, the chief envoy of Jeuno.

Demanding the boy be released to him, Monberaux has no choice, but as the guards go to grab him they fall through him, as though he were not really there. Suddenly the boy is gone. Left behind, is a small pendent, which the doctor quickly picks up and hides. The Ducal Guards run off to search for the boy...

all but Nag'molada...

who recognizes him... from somewhere...

It is at this time that strange rumors begin to surface through the towns people around Vana’diel. Fishermen tell tales of a great dragon rising from the ocean floor. Other travelers tell of crystals at the crags shattering into a million pieces. Nag'molada wasting little time assigns Wolfgang and the Ducal guards to examine of the other crystals, he will deal with the the other 2 personally.

Nag'molada explains that deep within the core of a crag is a mothercrystal. These crystals have the light that keeps the world alive.

Nag’Molada enters the first crag to find nothing wrong, but just then the little boy appears.

Suddenly the entire crag begins to seep with a dark oozing glow. With the blinding flash of light, a vision of the Dawn maidens is seen. They discuss a final battle between Altana and Promathia, one that will destroy Vana’diel.

With a poof, NAg'molada finds himself outside the crag.

Meanwhile the commotion at the crags has drawn the attention of Cid, who has spent some time in studying them. Along with Mythril Musketeers Ayame and Naji, he arrives to investigate another crag.

It was just then that Wolfgang and the Ducal Guards arrive. Cid says he has received readings that the energy flow from the crystals has been rapidly fluctuating and reports of a great winged beast appearing in the north sea have alarmed him. He explains he’s here to see if these events are possibly connected.

Wolfgang tells him that he should leave now, Jeuno will handle it, but this only leads Cid to assume Jeuno had a part to play in this. Wolfgang simply ignores the threat of Cid’s theory and says many who have tried to explore the crags so far have gone missing. Suddenly the shards of the crystal begin to glow as if affected by their presence. Suddenly they a knocked back off their chocobo’s by a brilliant light.

Meanwhile at the last crag, Nag'molada rushes to see if the crystal inside is safe from the mysterious boy.

The boy appears just as Nag'molada predicted he would, but this time Wolfgang and his men are there. Nag'molada orders Wolfgang to kill the boy, but the guard captain is hesitant at first. Angered Nag'molada says to do it, or he’ll end up like his father. Wolfgang sighs with little choice and lunges at the boy. The boy stands their silently as the blade stabs into his body. Collapsed on the floor, the boy lays there silent. Wolfgang stands back in shock, as the boy slowly moves his arms, pushing himself up off the ground. Under him a dark empty light begins to ooze toward all corners of the room.

The group stands back and with flash of light, he’s gone... and so is Nag'molada.
