This place looks...different from when I last came here.

It seems like even sacred places like this one aren’t spared from Azurai’s reign…

Curious... Very curious indeed…

What is?

While there is no doubt that the tower was built by the Morokai...

...there are signs of Deva engineering both in and out of the tower itself.

I have thoroughly analyzed the structure of this tower before your arrival.

It draws massive amounts of energy from the surrounding lava.

This reminds me of a ritual that was declared forbidden due to the inherent risks it carries…

The Ritual of Awakening.

The Ritual of Awakening? Please, tell us more.

My explanation will have to wait. Our host has come to greet us!

So, you’ve heard of it? I cannot say I’m surprised.

Even after all these years, you haven’t changed a bit.

High Inquisitor Aranvis...murderer of my kin!

Where is Ezra!

You will pay for what you have done!

*Hisss*!!!

You flatter me, High Inquisitor Aranvis.

My beautiful face is something I’m very proud of! I’m glad to hear I haven’t changed so much over the years.

And I’d love to stay and chat, but I have something far more important on my to-do list.

You have taken someone from us, Aranvis.

We’ve come to take her back.

The ritual has been interrupted…

Oh! Not much, really.

I was just curious to see how the refining process of the orihalcum ore works.

It’s some real stubborn stuff, requires a great amount of heat.

So I’ve taken the liberty of redirecting the lava to the foundry instead!

Meddlesome fool!

But try as hard as you may, you will never defeat me!
