Cactakara Forest/Campaign

Main quest scenario taking place in Cactakara Forest.
==Campaign==
===Is there a mechanic in the house?===
Arriving on Brevis Envoy meet up with Alain and introduce themself that the Envoy is a friend of Paolo then Envoy tell how is Paolo doing on Crescent Hill much to Alain's relief. The Envoy the cut to the chase and show him the device however for Alain himself he doesn't know the mechanism and in addition The Envoy come in the bad time since the Robot Competition has entered the finals and Alain serves as a host which mean he can't study the machine right away. Despite Envoy was disappointed, somehow Envoy was curious about the competition so Envoy ask more about it.
Alain then tells that it's a Brevis annual tradition that every craftsmen are putting their hearts into their robots so they can defeat other robots in the competition since the title is a very prestigious for the Dwarves. Hearing that, Envoy decide to help him to smoothen up the competition so hopefully someone have a time to look at the machine. Alain accepts Envoy's suggestion since there are a lot of things to do around here and he look at Envoy who was capable of doing his task.
First thing first, he got problem about Grass Sprouts since it keep chewing Dwarves resources while the finals is closing and the dwarves are implementing finishing touches at their robots which makes the energy to be drained and he got flood of complaints all day. The Envoy ask if there is anything to help with and Alain want Envoy to get rid of Grass Sprouts and if succeded he will introduce Envoy to some of the experts.
The Envoy then sets out and drive the Grass Sprouts away and after they are scattered or defeated, Envoy returns to Alain to report that the Grass Sprout has been driven away. Hearing that, he feels like he can't believe that the Envoy have done something impossible from is point of view and Envoy tell how Envoy manage to drive the Grass Sprout away. He may later want to hear more about Envoy's technique since he got job to do right now. He explain that Dwarves technology is a perfect blend of magic and mechanics. However the same energy source is also a food source for Grass Sprouts so when he want to try to share it fairly it's like a painful task.
Alain then look at the list of who are capable of fixing the machines and after looking at the list Envoy can look for Renault, Saffron and Old tom to have a look at the devices since they are the expert on their specialized fields with years of experience and if they can't help you, he doesn't know who can help beside them. Alain never seen the machine that The Envoy had before despite he see the model was familiar, maybe he seen it somewhere before.
Envoy then first went to Renault and show him the device so he can examine it. After examine it, he doesn't know what the device is but he remember someone has been asking the same thing but he forgot the name. Next, the Envoy went to Saffron the Energy Technician to examine it as well. At first it was simple but she retract it immediately after seeing the structure itself as she doesn't know what she want to identify the machine Envoy has but she tell Envoy that the device will not working without proper structure to hold energy. While she want to submit the inquiry, she mention about Augustus ass he can't believe why that pompus brute was able to enter the competition this year since she want to figure it out how he can get in. Envoy also got no idea who Augustus is and she was surprised about it. But still she also tell about Montero, the White Knuckle since she believe this year he will win again.
The Envoy then went to Old Tom to examine the devices as well and he also never seen it like before. He assume that maybe it was a part of larger robots or maybe spare parts which gains Envoy interest about larger robot but it seems he was joking about it. Even he knew what it is, Envoy will never have it fixed in this year or even next years. He then change subject to Montero and from his point of view Montero seems decent since he got good head on his shoulders and is highly skilled. He's not an arrogant fool like Augustus and he was hope that people came to sense and boot Augustus from competition. Seeing it will getting nowhere, the Envoy excuses him and return to Alain.
Alain then want to hear about it but Envoy's report about the craftsmen somehow makes him surprised since he doesn't know what to do or knowing anyone better than those three but then he recall something. He recognize a girl was also came to the village few years ago asking about a similar machine but she didn't have it like the Envoy do but she gave him picture which that's why the machine was familiar to him. Even there is hope, Envoy then ask Alain for more details about it but his answer somehow disappoint Envoy much since he focuses on the competition because there are many spectators visited the village on that year as he never think that the human girl is also a craftsman and he view her just like the others, spectator.
The Envoy then was reccomended by Alain to meet up with Montero, last year's champion. He may know a thing or two about The Envoy's device but the problem is he is very busy right now since he want to keep the title for another year so if the Envoy pester him now, it will delay his work and Alain will get the complaints. The Envoy start to think that the competition seems to be everything for the people of Brevis. Perhaps Alain's assumption is right that interrupting the champion's final preparations would cause unnecesary strife in the village but then Alain remember something that Montero want him to gather some Waterlight Mushrooms as he want to test new idea. The Envoy may got his attention if The Envoy collect it and hand it to Montero.
===Montero the White Knuckle===
Envoy then hands it to Montero and telling him that Alain referred Envoy to him. He feels delighted to hear it since now he can rotate the turbine to is maximum but then a dwarf swaggers over to Envoy and turns out it was Augustuts. He claim that he will be this year's champion since he has been researching on something secret. Wishing his luck, Montero continue his work again and the Envoy seems feel a bit perplexed by Augustus and wondering if he is one of the finalists. Montero then tell that he was Augustus and he admit that he may have a shot of this year's championship. While Montero return to work, Beebis attempt to swallow whole an unguarded waterlight Mushrooms. The Envoy try to stop it but the Eidolon moves faster and in a blink of an eye, Eidolon was able to relocate the mushroom away from Beebis reach and Montero clearly didn't notice about it.
Montero then thanks Envoy again for the Mushroom since Moss Crab are always bothering him. He doesn't know why the Moss Crabs migrates but it seems Augustus Little Brother, Fenrich is interested in studying it. He was curious why while everyone is focusing on the competition, Fenrich himself was interested in studying the Crabs and Montero's worry is that the crabs are eating the mushrooms but he doesn't want to lose competition that way. As Montero continue to rant, the Eidolon looks at Envoy, anxious to interrupt him so Envoy can get to the point. Envoy also think the same thing but he isn't even focused on Envoy anymore and continue to work. He continue to rant that if he didn't get rid of the Moss Crabs, all his time on new research will be wasted and his machine become useless just because of lack of Waterlight Mushrooms.
If Envoy is the one that Alain tell about then he want Envoy to get rid of it and if he constantly worrying about Waterlight Mushrooms stock is getting short, he may overlook a crucial detail that will cost him the competition. Envoy sighs and then leave to get rid of the Moss Crabs and after eliminate several of it, Envoy returns to him and he will place the Moss Crab problems for the village's next meeting. Since he deosn't have anything else Envoy can do to help him, he plan to send Envoy back to Alain but Envoy cut his chatter that Envoy need his help.
Despite he think come to misunderstanding, he apologize to Envoy and asking their name while thanking for Envoy's help. Envoy then explain everything what was happened and showing him the Broken Ancient Machinery hoping he can fix it. He then examine the ancient machine with interest and he realize that the structure is more advanced than antyhing he ever seen and he want to confirm that Envoy got no idea what is it for which Envoy reply in shaking head, not sure what he is muttering abour. He know that this is the Dwarven work judging by the lines and symbols but he show it that the devices was severely damaged mainly because of explosions. Envoy start to feel fixing it is hopeless but he reassure Envoy that he will help start by repairing the shell first and Envoy have to gather while Envoy do that, he will convert one of his machines into a high energy pressurizer.
After collecting the Goat Horn and then grind it to powder, The Envoy hand it over to Montero and his device is also ready and when Envoy hand it over, he immediately goes to work.
While working, Envoy was called by Pierre and he introduce himself as Augustus Assistant and Augustus deliver a message to Envoy through him, hoping that The Envoy can have time with him. He told that Augustus is commited to the research of the ancient technologies and forgotten energy resources so hearing about what Envoy has interest him much and furthermore, Augustus is also aware of Envoy's talent and he believe Envoy will be efficient operator.
===Seems I just wasted my time with Montero...===
The Envoy know Augustus proposal through Pierre give them creep but since Augustus know about the machine than anyone else, perhaps it was not a bad trade after all. Pierre then added that Augustus want to work with The Envoy and he want Envoy to offer the machine that Envoy have and become his pilot and in exchange he will also working on Spirit Separator, the name of the device that Envoy have and the name of the machine itself surprises Envoy since Pierre has the actual name for the machine from Starlight Treasure Chest. In order to express his sincerity in working with Envoy, Augustus would like Pierre to share Envoy detail about the machine. He says that Alain possess a book with ancient text that reads, "The Brevis Workmanship Collection" The book itself contains blueprints for Machinery that has been passed down through generations. Everyone considers Alain's package to be outdated and irrelevant as no one can look closely what is written within the text. If Envoy can manage to borrow it from Alain, the Envoy will learn that Augustus is willing to help Envoy.
The Envoy then went to Alain to get the book but he was curious why The Envoy want it for and Envoy tell about suggestions and ideas from Pierre and Augustus. What Envoy said makes sense to him since he may think that Augustus conclusion is correct for once. The Envoy's ancient Machinery might be built by their ancestors but the energy sources they used have been lost for a long time. Even they can reconstructed it, they will never power it however if the book can offer solution, he can let the Envoy borrow it.
The Envoy then hands the book to Pierre and he flip some pages until he points to the page that Envoy can see it. There is a mysterious machine diagram drawn on the page and the machine in the picture is exactly the same like Envoy's broken ancient machinery from Starlight Treasure Chest. He explain that the picture is the original design of the machine and he never seen this book but Augustus seems very familiar with it and his assumptions are confirmed that this is the Spirit Separator but he wonder what Envoy need for but it doesn't matter since the machine was designed by their ancestors and Augustus is the only one who can fix it because his research on the lost knowledge and ancestors allows him to. This may cause problem since right now Montero is currently fix the Envoy's device.
He told that it was just a waste since Augustus is the only one who can repair it while Montero's skill and knowledge was limited to modern technology and at best he may can only repair the damaged shells. Montero then hands Envoy the shell that has been repaired but still can't figure it out on dealing with inner mechanics since some energy sources is causing interference. Envoy then ask what he was planning to do about the issue. He want to see the insulation material and Fanged Crocodile seems worked nicely but he warn Envoy that getting one of it Envoy must be careful otherwise The Envoy will be eaten by the crocodiles.
Envoy then collect the Fanged Crocodile while avoiding to get eaten and after gather enough, Envoy hand it over to Montero then he start reassemble the parts and he also nervous if he got it right but he want to see what happens. He then flip the switch but the machine is motionless and when he try again it doesn't seem to work and it's still the same as Broken Spirit Separator. He then conclude that he can't do anything beyond it since the machine is beyond of his scope. He also can't grasp how the drive system works or what exactly it uses for energy. He then went to focus on working for the finals again and once again he apologize that he can't help Envoy any further. It seems Pierre was right and fixing with Montero seems a waste of time. Even Montero was highly skilled, he just doesn't have what it takes to fix the machine.
Alain then need some help from Envoy because fanged crocodile are going out hunting since it will hinder the finals. Dwarves weapon are useless against them and Alain doesn't know how to fend them off. He was curious that fanged crocodiles are usually not hunting at this time and the competition will be held once they are finished. Since this year's competition is intense, postponing it will be catastrophic. Alain will pay for Envoy's effort if Envoy manage to get rid of Fanged Crocodiles.
After get rid of the Crocodiles, Envoy receive payment for their effort.
===Trying the power from ancient technology===
Envoy then went to Pierre and tell the progress of the device repaired by Montero and The Envoy tell that Montero was unable to fix the power system despite he manage to fix the outer shells. He then assume that Envoy want to work with Augustus and they have determined what the machine is use for but they still need to learn what power it uses. Augustus has a hunch that The Envoy's machine is using Halo Energy to function but is still a theory. The idea is from the ancient legend itself but not yet used in practice. The Envoy then feel hope that Augustus can help since he know about ancient machinery despite he has yet to test his theories.
Pierre told that Halo Energy may be tied to Halo Grass and the grass itself causes a special reaction when combine with Bright Colored Dust from Butterfly Fairies. It's the only way to test their theory on Halo Energy. The Envoy then was tasked to collect Bright Colored Dust from Butterfly Fairies and after collecting it, he also want Envoy to send the finals ticket to Pierre and he expect that he will be quite pleased. Fenrich is Augustus Little Brother but he got little interest in robot competition instead he remain on Alba Shoal to conduct research. Since this is final, Fenrich at least make an appearance to support his big brother.
When reaching Fenrich, he looks at the Envoy with curious stare since he heard that The Envoy want to become Augustus's assistant. The Envoy then explain everything and hands him the finals ticket but when receiving it, he sighs that he is not interested in robots while wondering how long it will take before his brother understand him. He then told Envoy that getting dust won't be easy since the fairies won't give up without a fight. After collecting it, The Envoy returns to Pierre and he sprinkles the dust into the Spirit Separator. After a moment, the machine began to emanate a faint glow which makes the Envoy and Pierre surprised that Augustus Theory is spot on that the Spirit Separator uses Halo Energy for its power sources.
It confirms that The Envoy's device is made by Dwarves ancestors and using Halo Energy as its power source. This is a major breakthrough for the research. Eidolon state that when the machine is fully operational, it should be able to separate Eidolon from their hosts. Envoy then ask further about it and Eidolon answers that all things possess Power of Gaia. Once the machine was fixed, will have ability to manipulate Eidolons and sending them back to where they came from. Envoy then fell silence about it since if Envoy use it then Eidolon will disappear but if not, the Envoy might turn into a frightening abomination. A bright beam of light is cast upon Envoy, pulling Envoy attention from thoughts. Instinctively, Envoy look at the light and a young human girl who Envoy never seen before walks towards The Envoy like a wraith in dream. Her gaze seems fixated on the machine in Envoy's hand, a hand outstretched as though to touch it.
Pierre then looks at Envoy and Envoy blink and shake their head as though waking from a dream, apologizing from being distracted. The mysterious girl is nowhere to be found. He then confirmed that Halo Energy is the source of power and he have to make sure that Augustus's plan is executed smoothly. He can't help but to voice a concern as earlier, some of Augustus's gatherer are being dispatched to Mountain path of East City Ruins. He concern that they got lost since he haven't heard of them returning. Augustus know the situation and he said the workers bring two teleporters with them and Envoy just have to follow the frequency readings and find their location.
Envoy was curious since what will do next after find them? Pierre was glad Envoy asked and he consider it as a basic training since The Envoy will be Augustus pilot and can't control the robots with confident in finals, they will lose. He then hands the Envoy two unusual-looking devices, one is to locate Halo Grass and another is to locate teleporters. He want Envoy do take the instrument to the location as soon as possible since the finals will begin soon and they still got no Halo Grass. It's imperative that the issue doesn't delay Augustus.
Envoy then use the device to track the teleporter and after reach designation area at the mountain path towards East City Ruins, Envoy use the devices and got readings. After going ahead more and do another detection, Envoy got more readings and the reading shows there is an activity ahead so Envoy decide to check it out.
===Rescuing Augusto's gatherer===
Envoy then meets up with Akers and inform him that The Envoy was dispatched by Pierre to find him and urge Akers to prepare the Halo Grass with haste. He said that if they can come back, they wouldn't still be here and he don't want to stay in this terrible place. He didn't get lost but also the are able to find area where Halo Grass grows but the problem is the device was somehow malfunction. If they knew this is a piece of junk, they can spend some money to rent a proper teleporter from craftsman and they should have known better than to trust anything build by Fenrich.
He can with his partner, Ivan to collect Halo Grass. However Ivan determined to go deeper into East City Ruins to find more Halo Grass. They want to avoid the dangerous Giant Woodbeasts so they decide to set the teleporter here but who would have guessed after few teleports, they suddenly lose signal and he haven't heard Ivan ever since that happens. Giant Woodbeasts prowl the Mountain Path and the collectors is no match for them. He then ask Envoy to defeat Woodbeasts and rescue Ivan from Mountain Path.
While defeating Woodbeasts, The Envoy got chill that was emitted from somewhere that instinctively telling Envoy shouldn't stay long and after finishing the Woodbeasts and Ivan was nowhere to be found, The Envoy report back to him and telling him that a giant Centaur gets in the way. Akers then surprised that Vhell, the East City Guard was there since he will go out if something really happened there. He have to be careful for not to anger those Centaurs or Ivan will be killed. He then suddenly got an idea about teleporter and if they can fix the teleporter, they can teleport somewhere behind Vhell but The Envoy notice that fixing it may notice Vhell. Akers aware of that and he want to Envoy to disguise as Woodbeasts to fix the other teleporter right away. Envoy was then need some branches, barks and leaves to disguise Envoy as Woodbeast. Once Envoy gather the materials needed, they will assemble together into a great disguise. He will leave the task to Envoy while he will try to fix the teleporter from where he is now.
After collecting it and making the Tree Camouflage, the Envoy then shows it to Akers much to his impression and then he make some adjustments to make it really look like Giant Woodsman but he can't lift it since it was really heavy. Even trying many times, he still can't lift it because of the Tree Camouflage's weight itself but he doesn't want to think that further since The Envoy needs to do is to sneak around Vhell, fix the teleporter and restart the devices. He was about to fix the teleporter but since he can't put it on, he want Envoy to wear it. The procedure are simple, just press the button and it will restarted.
Envoy then put it on and went to where Vhell is. After he doesn't notice that the Woodsman was Envoy in disguise, The Envoy went through him and found the teleporter then restarting it. After restarting it, The Envoy uses it and appeared on where Akers it and report to him that the teleporter have been fixed. Akers then doesn't want to use Fenrich's machine again since it was unreliable. He also ask about Ivan's whereabout and he want Envoy to find him, since Ivan is taking survival training, Akers believe he was hiding somewhere. He was worry about Centaurs that sooner or later will found Ivan. He then put his faith on The Envoy to find Ivan
Since Akers has fixed the teleporter on his side, The Envoy then use the teleport to the East City Ruins to find Ivan. The Envoy then found Ivan and he was surprised to see Envoy but Envoy then explain everything and The Envoy can see his breath of relief when The Envoy able to reach here with teleporter. He thought that he will die and prepare for worst case scenario. He didn't want to die here since Akers said he'd by him a drink once this is over and he's willing to hold his promise.
The Envoy then ask why the Centaurs are looking for him but they didn't look for him since a mysterious girl took him into the City Ruins and then leave him alone after she gets here. She have something with her but when he was about to ask her, he was ambushed by the Centaurs. He heard that Centaurs are ruthless and violent which he expect it was exaggerated but it was real and he was able to hide since then, relieve that Envoy manage to found him. The Envoy then inform him that the teleporter is ready and he can leave anytime he wants but doesn't want to leave without defeating the Centaurs to prevent pursuit. He also want to take advantage by taking what he need before leaving but he dropped his bag and a large centaur snatch it up nd take it away. Even so, he doesn't have enough Halo Grass inside his bag as he need more so he ask Envoy for help to retrieve his bag while also want to gather more Halo Grass to fill his bag.
The Envoy then defeat the Tall East Guard, retrieveing the Bag while also filling it with more Halo Grass until the bag is stuffed. After the bag is stuffed, The Envoy then defeats Centaurs to prevent pursuit and then goes back to hiding, meeting with Ivan. He feel gratitude that The Envoy defeat them while also happy that The Envoy makes his bag full of Halo Grass. He then gave The Envoy his bag full of Halo Grass and he want the Envoy to send it to Augustus on their behalf since they already passed the deadline so Augustus will be likely yell less to The Envoy since The Envoy was dispatched here through Pierre and Envoy also told what Ivan and Akers find during their gathering so practically it was not their fault. He have to make sure Envoy informs Pierre that both Akers and him are fine but for Ivan he still need his time to recover himself from shock before he can leave.
While meeting with Akers, he want to make sure that Augustus can compensate it since the situation calls for it. He hope that the Halo Grass can help him to win the championship this time. The Envoy then returns to Pierre and report him about what happened at East City Ruins while also giving him bag full of Halo Grass. He was relieved they are safe and he believe that Augustus will compensate them since he never expect simple task can be complicated. He glad everything goes well while put Halo Grass into his prototype Pressure Furnance. The Envoy become more anxious as the machine began to buzz and whir. If the energy can make the Spirit Separator up and running again, maybe the Envoy will be finally free of their Eidolon. He then tell that the extraction is now complete.
He then want Augustus to focus 100% on his research while Pierre will handle the rest. He wants Envoy to deliver the Box contain Halo Energy to Augustus since it was the only chance to prove his theory and he also want Augustus to win this competition but he also got problems that crocodiles lurk in the roads near the arena and almost attack him during his journey. If they can't get rid of the crocodiles, the villagers will also be frightened to come so he will leave the task to The Envoy since The Envoy can handle the crocodiles while also delivering the box to Augustus. Before leave, Pierre hands a reward to The Envoy which is a small bag and The Envoy gratefully takes it since it will become more handy in the future.
The Envoy then secure the road by taking down the crocodiles and then arrived at where Augustus lives.
===Meeting Augustus and duel with Vhell===
The Envoy then hands the Box of Halo Energy to Augustus and tell everything what was happened but it seems he is only interested in the box. He will return the Energy Box once the competition ends while also fixing The Envoy's spirit separator as well. The Envoy's face suddenly falls and he told that the competition might be postponed and he doesn't want to delay it much longer. He then reccomend Envoy to meet with Lane, the security of the Competition, he maybe hard-nosed but he's still a good guy. A few workers were injured and the wound is nothing serious but why he postpone the entire competition as Augustus thought that he seems overreacting about it.
He doesn't want things to get worse as well so he decide to lend Lane a hand by helping the injured workers, hoping the finals can still go on. He then got an idea that he want Envoy to collect the Herb Beetles from Shatterwall Hill as they can be used for healing salve while he will remain here to work on herb grinder since building and inventing is not an easy task while The Envoy will handle the grunt work. After gathering the Medical Herb, The Envoy returns to him and he's also set for the Herb Grinder. While waiting for the medicine to be prepared, he wonder why Lane has postponed the competition since he is a stubborn fellow but not a fool. He rant that when he's asking what happened, his answer always tell him to wait which frustrate him much. He then take the Medicinal Herb Ointment that has been processed and he will let Envoy to be the hero.
He want The Envoy to ask him what happened after applying the medicine to the injured collector since Augustus want to know what makes Lane postpone the competition. After applying the Ointment to the injured collector, The Envoy went to Lane and he look at the Envoy suspiciously. The Envoy greet him and hand the rest of the medical ointment. He then notices that The Envoy is the workers are gossiping about and he wonder why Envoy help them to begin with as he thought that Envoy could be one of medical squad member. The Envoy then tell that it was Augustus idea that he also fear the competition might be postponed. He answer that he postpone the competition until they can rid the arena of those aggressive creatures.
Since Envoy ask, he fills them in and according to the workers. They were busy collecting the herbs then a girl they'd never seen suddenly ran up to them. While everyone is wondering what's going on, a bunch of Centaurs ambushed the collectors and The Envoy recalls about the situation that Ivan face as well while also wonder why they become more aggressive. The workers are being attacked when they are trying to flee from the chaos itself and some are also being attacked directly. He telling The Envoy because he got instinct that The Envoy can drive them away and have experience with tough battles before. He want The Envoy to bring back the tools that the workers has left behind on the forest while defeating the centaurs.
The Envoy then defeat them and collect the tools. When returned, The Envoy can hear he feel contemplative about the centaurs that their appearance seems bizarre in this place. He feel relieved when The Envoy done it and he also heard that The Envoy will be the Pilot for Augustus. Since he remember that there is no rule about the pilot must be Dwarf but he expect that The Envoy might not have experience like Dwarves do as he may think that Montero can win this year. He also tell about Augustus and Fenrich that they are brothers but also rivals, Augustus study about Ancient energy while Fenrich study about ecological studies.
The Envoy also wonder if Augusus can rediscover the ancient energy and Lane tell that Augustus insist of using ancient technology but the fact remains that he hasn't won in many years but this time he made it to the finals and he want to see what happens next. Like other dwarves, he also believe that Augustus will not win this competition this year but when Envoy is about to defend the argument, a dwarf coming and panting. The Patrolman reports that the same centaurs have regrouped at Shatterwall Hill and they become more fired up than before and Lane angry because the main problem is that girl but he also wonder what makes them angry but that's not all since there is a larger centaur appears to command them and they plan to launch the raid which Lane expect it will be Vhell. The Envoy itself saw Vhell as formidable opponent that Envoy must disguise as a woodsman to infiltrate into the East City Ruins. It maybe difficult to defeat Vhell but he needs to be defeated and The Envoy think that they can't do it but Augustus butts in, handing the device to The Envoy called Shrink Beam. The Envoy just need to aim the beam to Vhell and it will weaken him through shrinking then all Envoy need is to beat him. The Envoy then looks at it and decide to take a shot.
The Envoy then confronts Vhell and using Shrink Beam on him which causes him to get shrinked to regular centaur size and weakened then Envoy defeat him effortlessly. After defeating him, Lane tell that he also saw it and the centaurs also fleeing back to the East City Ruins and the arena is now safe at last. He then want Envoy to patrol around the Arena to check the perimeter and if the perimeter is secured, he can't hold the match. The Envoy then patrols around the Arena. The job itself was an honor for Security Officer but he hands it to The Envoy as an apology for being rude to Envoy and Augustus. Once the area is secured of hostile, The Envoy returns to him and Lane can declare that the competition can begin.
=== Yearly Contest and pursuing the mysterious girl ===
Augustus have installed the Halo Energy Device in his robot Augustus Mark 7 and he thanks the Envoy for loaning him materials for his research but more importantly he also thank Envoy for believing him about his idea of Ancient Energy Research. The Envoy then takes the seat as the pilot and piloting the robot by themself.
The Envoy then pilots the robot into the arena and Alain declare the competition start. The Envoy first are fighting Woodbeast. After defeating Woodbeast robot, next is Rock Warrior, Envoy then defeats it again and the next opponent is Giant Dragon, the Dinosaur Type Robot. Finally, Envoy battle with Montero, defending Yearly Champion. The audience cheers for Montero but the Envoy swiftly read Montero's skills and defeat him which causes the audience to fired up.
After the competition itself, The Envoy congratulate Augustus for his victory and years of research are finally paid off by becoming a champion this year. Montero then approaches him which makes him alerted but it turns out he also congratulates him much to Augustus shock. Montero also apologize for poking fun at this theories since his research about Ancient Energy was right. He also tell Montero that without his rival, he will never made it this far and he also want him not to slack off just because of this year. Augustus then takes out the device and about to hand it to Aquina but a mysterious girl suddenly appears and snatches the device quickly, she smile and dashes telling that she want to borrow this much to everyone's confuse. The Envoy call for the girl but she's already gone and no trace of her.
Augustis also shocked to see that but Envoy tell him that they also see the girl at Breavis as well and it seems she also went after Spirit Separator. The Eidolon also expect that the girl that snatch The Envoy's Spirit Separator also is the same girl that causes trouble with the centaurs. Hearing that, Augustus also surprised and he want Envoy to catch some Grass Sprouts near Alba Shoal since they are sensitive to The Halo Energy. If they can use Sprout's ability to sense energy, they can use some positioning equipment to trace her and he won't let her escape.
The Envoy then capture the Double Leaf Sprouts and hand them over to Augustus but when The Envoy gave them, Augustus gets annoyed because they are running around panickly like how they are testing his patience but when he really test it out it seems he got assumption that there are many interferences and it seems he need Envoy to go to Ancient Brevis since the metal there carries a strong magnetic force that can isolate other kinds of EM wavelengths. He then ask if the Envoy has visited Ancient Brevis and when the Envoy answered no, he then give The Envoy the way by just follow the road and head northeast where The Envoy will run to the abandoned village. He want Envoy to collect metals from robot that dwells there as they are non-operational and rusting away.
The Envoy then collects the Power Storage Metal and hands it to Augustus, he then use it to surround Grass Sprout. It calms down for a moment but suddenly loses control and dashes off to the northeast. It shows that the magnetism blocks everything except Halo Energy and it was the most important discovery of his ancestors made and continue to help them today. He then want Envoy to follow the sprouts since the girl will be there as well. He then went to help Grass Sprout focus in one energy while also using equipment to track her down but it will take some time. He then make some simple electrifier for The Envoy and when Envoy ask what is for, he tell that the device is to catch her and after pinpointing the location. The girl is hiding at northern part of Alba Shoal. He then hands the device to the envoy in order to test it out.
===Caroline and tracking the Secret Passageway===
The Envoy then found her and immediately test it out but suddenly an Eidolon comes out and The Envoy defeats it. Seeing her Eidolon is defeated, she gave the Energy Box back to Envoy but out of curiousity The Envoy also ask what she plan to do with the box. She then answered that she heard about Spirit Separator and after she answer it, she hope that Envoy let her go. The Envoy realize that both Envoy and Caroline have the same problem and looking for the ancient machines just for that reason. If it goes according to plan, The Envoy will lend her the machine.
She also never expect that she was the only one that has problem She then tell that the energy inside Energy Box won't power the ancient machine. She then hands out a scroll that contains Dwarves research on Halo Energy which she stole it from East City Ruins and Envoy realize it was a reason why the centaurs is after her. On the scroll itself, it sayd that Halo Energy is hidden in Secret Land and Halo Grass contains a small amount of energy too but it was a result of contamination made by Halo Energy. There are some parts that she doesn't understand since she's not a craftsman but she expect that it contains formula to Halo Energy. She then want to give the scroll to Augustus since he is the only one that can decipher it.
She also rant that she spend half of her life hiding and running around, The Envoy comforts her and she also relieved that The Envoy is the one that came for her instead of centaurs. If the centaur found her, she would have tortured and killed. Since she missed hot meals, she want some goat meat and envoy collects Goat Rib and Tender meat from the Goats and hand it to her. When giving it to her, she was pleased but also curious why The Envoy is so calm about the Eidolon. The Envoy then tell that The Envoy actually quite like Eidolon since they aid The Envoy on the battlefield as partners and The Envoy express their thoughts that The Envoy won't turn into a corrupt and demonic abomination. She may surprise to hear it but she know that someday she will face it as well like a monster waiting to happen.
The Envoy then deliver it back to Augustus and hands the scroll and Energy Box to him. The Envoy then explain the situation about Caroline and he's surprised that the scroll contains formula to Halo Energy itself, upon discovery he may can forgive her and through his analysis, the machine won't run on the energy in the Energy Box which all makes sense to him since he knew that Halo Energy has some hidden potential with it and he was right however he grew up in the forest and he never heard any Secret Passageway mentioned. He then want The Envoy to track it down and he want to help as much as he can.
The Envoy then asks if he got plan to locate the Secret Passageway, Augustus then want Envoy to meet up with Fenrich, his little brother since he was interested in studying ecology. He love Fenrich as a brother but he knew that he won't give Envoy help unless it was related to ecology itself. He then tell Envoy that once Fenrich got interest in Butterfly Fairies and want to study their ecological impact and social structure which Augustus deems boring. Maybe if The Envoy can get it for Fenrich, he may can divulge the location of the passageway itself.
===Meeting Fenrich and studying the ecology===
When The Envoy meets Fenrich, he seems give a sour look to The Envoy, hoping will not waste his time but the Envoy hands him the Butterfly Eggs and glares at The Envoy suspiciously. He grunts that since it's better worth this bothersome interruption while inspecting it and he was surprise that the eggs aren't contaminated and wondering why The Envoy knew he want it. The Envoy then explain the situation to Fenrich which he never expect that his older brother remembered about it, maybe he's interested in ecology as well.
If The Envoy hadn't collect it, the butterflies may go extinct and he discover that not long ago the butterfly fairies are acting oddly and become more aggresive, some are even attack each other which is highly unusual in their society. He examined and found unknown, abnormal element in the pool around waterfall which he fear this elemnt is causing the fairy act strangely. The Envoy want to ask about secret land but Eidolon stops Envoy and remind Envoy that he doesn't like interruptions. The Envoy nod despite surprise Eidolon would share the same insight and it was social inept while Envoy have to be reminded about that matters. Fenrich then continue his investigation and find the contaminated butterfly carry this element within their blood which leave him no choice but to eradicate them before they can infect other fairies. He then want The Envoy to rebalance the environment by eradicating Ranbow Butterfly and Wild Butterfly Fairy.
The Envoy then goes to eradicate them after they are all eradicated, The Envoy returns to him and report. He told that the beauty of the fairies is entrancing and without Envoy's help, the stunning creatures might got extinct in Cactakara forest. The Envoy tell Fenrich that they are happy but also The Envoy told their purposes to get information from him about Secret Land in the ancient scroll. Fenrich never heard it before but if The Envoy can help him handling the ecological issues, he can help The Envoy look the passageway in return. He conduct survey on ecological environment in the area surrounding the waterfall but there is one thing that he stumped on and after The Envoy mention about Secret Passageway, things start to makes sense.
He never seen a Sarpa before and not long ago they gathered together near the Waterfall and he got no clue where they came from. He attempt to communicate with them but they respond in attacking and beating him. If he remember correctly, the Sarpa appears with the time the Butterfly Fairy start to mutate which makes him assume that the Sarpa carries the mutational element then he want to study their scales and blood to test his theory. If it really comes back to the Sarpa, they are in big trouble. The Envoy then collects the blood from Caustic Sarpa and the scale from Wild Sarpa then hands it to Fenrich to study it.
He groaned, seeing the result of the test itself. he found the ingredient in Sarpa's samples and similar to what's in Halo Grass but hundred times more concentrated than the fairies. The Envoy then remembers about what Caroline says before that Halo Grass is just a plan contaminated by Halo Energy and perhaps that's how Sarpa are tainted. He then conclude that any creature that came in contact with this element suddenly becomes aggressive and violent. Before things got any worse, The Envoy must eradicate them entirely and The Envoy proceed to eradicate Sarpa. After Sarpa has been eliminated, Fenrich fear that they have to make some sacrifice for the sake of the forest itself. The Envoy ask about the outcome of his mission and despite it was a sad conclusion, they did what was necessary for greater good. At least they learn something from this since the Sarpa must be traveled to the area near waterfall through a secret passageway that they have yet to find since he knew they couldn't appear so suddenly.
The Envoy then told Fenrich that Halo Grass is just a regular plant tainted by energy which he also knew that the butterfly fairies and sarpas are also infected with this energy He also know that the element can move through water, he then looks at his device that was still usable. He then gave The Envoy water purifier that he developed and can be used on underwater or land. The Envoy can bury them in the soil or float it on the river. He then want The Envoy to place the energy Upstream, Midstream and downstream to track the energy flow.
The Envoy then place it at each of location, one is immediately operated while on midstream, The Envoy have to kick it to make it operational while the last one are placed behind waterfall and it went operational. He then looks at his tracking device but he only find two water purifiers at his signal and the purifier closest to the waterfall seems go have fallen off the face of the earth. Maybe it's malfunctioning and he never said that this is an easy task so he want The Envoy fo find the Purifier on downsteam of the waterfall and reactivate it while he activate the two devices first.
The Envoy then checks it out and the purifier is nowhere to be found, instead The Envoy discover a cave hidden behind it which The Envoy immediately returns to Fenrich to report about this. He was surprised to hear that while also wonder if it was the Secret Land that the Envoy mention about and he bet that the third water purifier slipped through passageway. He manage to get few readings from runaway Purifier while the first and second aren't picking much contamination which he suspect that the Energy may come from the Secret Land itself. He assume that the secret passageway behind the waterfall is the Origin of Halo Energy and if it was the case, they have to keep the creatures away from it. He also doesn't know to get in there since the Giant Woodbeasts are getting in their way and they got no way to communicate with the brutes.
He want the Envoy to clear the Giant Woodbeasts as prevention measures to prevent them from getting infected by Halo Energy. In his personal opinion, he also doesn't want to deal with it by himself let alone the rage, energy infused one. After clearing the woodbeasts, Fenrich then want The Envoy to seal the passageway to the Secret Land to prevent further contamination itself. He believe that nature will restore the balance slowly and he also thank The Envoy on behalf of forest creatures. He want to discuss this with Alain and need to find a plan to seal the passageway but before that happens, he believe that the energy that Augustus and The Envoy seek is probably inside the cave. He know this is very important to The Envoy and he will also inform Augustus about this.
While he's going to his brother, he suggest The Envoy to explore around the Secret Land and Augustus will catch up with The Envoy later. Just promise that The Envoy will look out for him. The Envoy nodded and perhaps if The Envoy can find the Ancient Energy within the cave, maybe The Envoy can activate Spirit Separator. The Envoy then went into the Secret Land via the cave behind waterfall itself.
===Battle of Gydaie Glen===
Upon reaching the other side, The Envoy looks at the field itself and the nature was veyr fascinating yet The Envoy smells some uneasiness in the air while also found the Purifier float quietly on the side. The Envoy then proceed to explore around where The Envoy encounter Twilight Woodbeast and Glimmering Sprout. The Envoy then defeats them but on the way, The Envoy encounters Fia, a fairy and want The Envoy to leave but The Envoy continue pushing forward until she decide to summon Noripan, her Lieutenant and she gave Noripan, the Glimmering Woodbeast to eliminate Envoy
The Envoy battles the Woodbeast and defeats it after some struggles. The Envoy then encounter Fia again which she has lost her patience. The Envoy then pushes froward by defeating Hungry Flowertraps and Twilight Fairy until Fia, the Glimmering Princess appear. The Envoy quickly defeat her before she can cause any trouble and after defeating her, Augustus arrived on the scene. He rushes here as soon as he get news but he was fascinated with this place and he look at the writing on the wall as it explains everything about Halo Energy equation but it seems it's made of some sort of code and he won't stop until he can decipher it.
Despite he was fascinated, The Envoy reminds him this place is still dangerous and he may got attacked. He then gets excited while puzzled to see the Halo energy equation written on the wall. He conclude that this place was once his ancestors lived and this place is now forgotten by the world which makes him feel sad about it. Long ago, their ancestors discovered Halo Energy and because of this source of power, Dwarves are quite the powerful force in the past but because of the greed itself, they lost everything. They use Halo Energy to create gigantic robots and didn't realize how unstable is without proper care. All of their creations began to run out of control. The Entire City was engulfed in flame as the Dwarves great kingdom are destroyed in just single night and those who survived decide to seal the Halo Energy within the Secret Land itself. The Envoy feel sad about the loss itself but also ask if Augustus is wise enough to bring Halo Energy out of this land and he state that The Halo Energy is not the problem and the real problem lies at the giant robots that contaminate it. The last robot was lies inside the ruin and perhaps if they can destroy it, their ancestors can rest at peace.
He then want The Envoy to destroy it to ease the ancestor to prevent further contamination from spreading. The Envoy doesn't need to worry about Halo Energy since Augustus got the correct formula. With his correct Halo Energy Formula and his prototype equations, he will be able to complete Halo Energy equation at last but he need more time to do that. He pretty certain that he can rely on the Envoy to handle the origin of the containment itself and that will conclude his study. Once finish, he will use teleporter device to transport himself back to Competition Arena and will prepare Envoy's spirit separator up and running soon.
The Envoy then proceed further and the alert goes off as the Policebot are assembled to stop The Envoy along with Rainbow Beetle that was stationed there. The Envoy can heard that the citizens of the Gyaide Glen must evacuate to the temple while the policebot are being deployed and the Envoy defeats Rainbow Beetle and Policebot until The Envoy saw Kayel the Protector that chops the wood and lit it on fire to seal off the path to the temple.
The Envoy then defeats it but since the path ahead is being cutted off, The envoy has no choice but to withdraw back to Augustus.
===Testing the device===
The Envoy then meet up with Augustus and tell him what happened deep within the Secret Land itself. He lower his head solemnly hoping his ancestor can rest in peace. He then remember about the scroll from East City Ruins, the one that contain a partly incomplete equation for Halo Energy and when he analyze it, he found out that the ancestors are desperately try to harness its energy and he told that the scroll from the East City Ruins contains a modified equation. He then combine the modified and original equation from the secret land and should be able to use the halo energy to power the Spirit Separator and he just need to make final adjustments. He then reinstall it and it emits strangely melodic screech and relieved that th Spirit Separator has been activated. He haven't forgot the agreement and he give the device to The Envoy but he also warn Envoy that the device only have one use and need to recharge to him once it has been used otherise The Envoy will encounter problems however he doube that The Envoy want to separate their spirit from their body very often.
If he doesn't mind, he want to use Caroline as a test subject to see how it goes since he doesn't want her to cause trouble again. He just can't handle her whine much longer. The Envoy then meets up with her and test it out but when the process is ongoing, her Eidolon refuse to leave her much to both surprise. The Envoy then report the findings to Augustus. The Envoy use the machine correctly and the girl didn't react at all which he expect the Envoy must have done it wrong. He then want to try it by himself to test on The Envoy. The device has been recharged and he use it on The Envoy and The Envoy start to float in midair after being hit with beam of radiance just as Caroline did. A strange feeling flood Envoy's senses. It feel as though that an external force is trying to dissolve Envoy's energy and experienced some mild pain, feeling that a strong power within Envoy's body is battling the external force. Soon the effect dissipates completely and the energy inside Envoy seems win a victory over the external force. The Envoy then fell to the ground with a thud and Augustus looks at The Envoy with surprise. The Envoy then tell what happened while brushing dirt from clothes and catch the breath, feel a nasty bump raising on head.
He then feel puzzled, thinking that the device is either overheated or malfunctioned. He then grab some Grass Sprout to exmaine the cause of it. The Grass Sprouts struggles violently and desperately attempt to squirm away and then he test it on Grass Sprouts. The Grass Sprout collapses with strage expression frozen on its face. He then conclude that the Eidolon energy inside Envoy and Caroline is stronger than he'd expected which led to conclusion that despite The Envoy has spirit separator, all comes to nothing since The Envoy and Eidolon remain inseparable.
He then reccomend Envoy to return to Navea to find some ancient literatures and maybe find some explanation in the tomes. The Envoy then travelled to Navea and make an audience with Belenus to find out what's going on.
