Those Who Lurk in Shadows (I)/Plot Details

Young Aldo: Mother is being held captive within the walls of the Qu'Bia Arena.

Young Aldo: I tried to get in, only to find my entry thwarted by a curious magical barrier. This must be the power of the Seed Crystal.

Young Aldo: We have only one choice. We must harness this power for ourselves, and use it to negate the shield that bars our way.

Young Aldo: Remnants of the crystal's glow can be found scattered throughout these ruins. Their light has grown weak, and their power unstable...

Young Aldo: But if you can retrieve them before their power fades, they will fuse to form the Mark of Seed. This is the key that will open our path.

Young Aldo: Do hurry, Player Name. Mother is waiting for us, and time is of the essence...
