In Tavnazia Prishe and her friends notices the people seem different. Greeting them Despachiare explains that much has happened since they vanished. The rumors of the Wyrm King returning have drawn much attention from the outside world to their small "kingdom".

Jeuno has set up trade routes and an envoy lead by Nag'molada has set up residence. Still uneasy about him, Despachiare asks them to join him in his private chambers.

There Tenzen explains that he has come to try and reason with Bahamut, but the idea is quickly shot down until Nag'molada returns.

Despachiare then answers his questions regarding Prishe. He says that poor Prishe is cursed. Justinius adds that while that may be the case she is indeed a miracle, though in recent days the people of Tavnazia believe her miracle may fade.

Meanwhile, overlooking her favorite cliff Ulmia plays her song once more.

Unsure how to best protect her friend, she remembers back to her childhood. On this very same cliff, a little girl, Ulmia stands crying.

Behind appears Prishe, strangely in the same form she is today. Ulmia explains she didn't make it into the Tavnazian Choir. Prishe comforts her explaining that just because she didn't make it now doesn't mean it won't happen.

The world is such a big place and there are far more important things than a choir. She says that Ulmia doesn't need to be in the choir to be able to sing, she can come to this cliff and sing all she wants. The distance the hinted figure of the Cardinal appears calling Ulmia to come home.

Standing over the cliff, present day Ulmia gives thanks to Prishe, speaking to herself, how she did indeed get into the choir. Looking to the sky she prays to the Dawn Goddess for protection and guidance. Suddenly the shape of a dragon soars through the sky. She rushes back to the safehold to meet the others. Agreeing now is not the time to wait, Justinius and Ulmia head off to Riverne to find Bahamut and once more tempt fate.

Tenzen seeing his opportunity tags along too.

Behind them in the shadows the 3 Chebukkis follow.

In Riverne the 3 fiendish Tarus pop out of the shadows saying they've been sent to stop them from getting to Bahamut. Cherukiki decides to just cast warp on the 3 adventurers, but mistakenly casts warp on herself. Justinius yells for the others to continue on, he'll deal with the remaining Chebukkis.

Deep within Rivernes floating rock fortress Tenzen and Ulmia find Bahamut, approaching himto question his motives.

Suddenly portals begin to open, as dragons from all across Vana'diel begin to appear.

Bahamut asks them to unite to defend the crystal. Tenzen stands before them and appeals Bahamut for help.

The Dragon King laughs and simply mocks him. Unsheething Phoenix, Tenzen blasts one of the wyrms. Tenzen says that although in size they are over insects, together there is nothing the people of Vana'diel can't do.

Bahamut shocked, calls out to Phoenix for an answer as to why it helps him. In reply it sings to him the new 4th verse to the now infamous song.

"Long ago there was a child who came seeking Bahamut, a pact was made with that boy, and now it was to befulfilled. The light would be given to the crystals once more. Innocent blood spills onto the plains of Vana'deil. The world shudders as she is thrust into chaos and despair. Niether power nor destiny can bring an end to what has begun. However, through the storm of night, a star of glory shines brigt. Through the howling of the beast the sound rings clear. Shining star, echoing song you are our dreams and prayers."

With that Bahamut is gone.

Back in Tavnazia, Tenzen explains that Phoenix gave him a vision, of long ago when the Ancients battled the Avatars and Bahamut fought in the greatest of all the battles at the gates of paradise.

It was during this battle people would learn of the emptiness, the will of the twilight god, Promathia. Just then Nag'molada and Despachiare enter the room. Despachiare explains the connection between Promathia and Vana'diel.

He calls him the Lord of Chaos and that he has cursed all the peoples of Vana'diel. The only way to rid themselves of it is to forget Promathia, which explains why Tenzen's people knew nothing of Promathia. The group shocked, bickers with eachother about the possibility of the end of the world. Nag'molada tells them not to worry and that Jeuno will deal with Bahamut.

He then demands that Prishe's amulet be turned over to him. Tenzen and Ulmia quickly go to find her.

In her room, they warn her of Nag'molada's demands. It is here the history of Prishe is revealed.

Long ago, she was the victim of an accident. Her family dead, she was the only one left. Ageless, after touching some artifact deep within the church catacombs. She has immortality. Tenzen doesn't seem to understand though, why her people would want to hide her away and call her such things as "The abhorrent one". Out of ideas, but wanting to keep Prishe and the Amulet safe, they begin to go over ideas on what to do next. Prishe then offers a suggestion of her own, why not take this to Promathia himself. And she just happens to know how, deep within the Sacrarium.

The Sacrarium, an old temple and school deep within the mountains, it has for some time been left to it's new inhabitants, the undead. Tenzen finds Prishe deep inside standing before a giant statue of Promathia.

She explains the Tavnazian cathedral used to buy up artifacts and study them in hopes of finding paradise, to ask Altana to remove the curse of Promathia. Soon the focus of their search shifted, when the realized through studying the ancient artifacts, that the Ancients were incredibly advanced. Instead of finding a road to paradise, they would now try to invite Altana into their world. But before they could try this idea, Cardinal Mildaurion arrived and the Crystal War broke out not long after.

Prishe moves closer to the statue, holding out her hand.

Suddenly Prishe finds herself in a strange cathedral surrounded by several robed figures.

They speak of her involvement in a baptismal gone horribly wrong, some kind of horrific accident. Prishe is a child of destiny...

In a flash of light, Prishe finds herself witnessing a conversation between Diabolos and the mysterious boy.

Diabolos questions how the boy could still be alive, how he could have live through the destruction of Al’tieu along with the keeper of the apocalypse. Diabolos believed it was the Zilart that had unleashed the emptiness, but perhaps it was another...

With another flash of light Prishe sees a vision of Dawn Maiden Yve’noile. He begs her for the truth, is he to defeat Promathia or carry out his will.

She simply responds, “Why do you think his face is smooth and unfeatured?” No one has ever seen his face. They will pray both for his resurrection and destruction. Suddenly Prishe is pulled from the trance.

Ulmia stands behind her, scolding her for using the statue after everything they knew.

It is said the statue brings out the worst in people. Prishe ignores Despachiare saying she now understands, the twilight god seeks his own resurrection and death.

Back in Tavnazia, Ulmia discovers what Prishe had been up to and erupts in a rage.

He blames her foolishness on all of their problems, saying she’s responsible for Bahamut as well. Ulmia scolds her grandfather, standing up for Prishe. She says Prishe must be pure of heart, because she was protected from the ill effects of the statue. Despachiare tells them that it may be too late, as the San d’Oria church seeks Prishe and the Cardinal for questioning.

Louverance, the San d'Orian Knight they has met earlier pushes the door open, entering to room, confirming this fact. While this does indeed look and act like the man they met earlier, something is off. He explains that they believe at the end of the war Cardinal Mildaurian robbed the cathedral, which stressed the Papsque at the time so much that it may have been the cause of his death. Louverance begs Prishe to come with him to San d’Oria to avoid any problems. Prishe says there is much to do, but that she will go with him.

In the lower regions of the safe hold, Tenzen and Prishe join Louverance on his airship.

Ulmia is nowhere to be seen, forced to stay behind by her grandfather. Prishe sadly mentions that she’s afraid she will never see her friend again. Just as they are about ready to take off, Ulmia appears asking to follow. Even though she is disobeying her grandfather she wishes to know the rest of the “Memoria” and perhaps use it to tell Prishe's story one day.

It’s the least she can do.
