</font><font color="#0">Within her shrine, back at the village of Nia Khera, Milla Maxwell sits down by
 the only piece of furniture in the entire half-dome of a shrine, an altar. She
 closes her eyes and breathes; the Four Great Spirits, Sylph, Gnome, Efreet and
 Undine, materialize around her, half ethereal, half corporeal. She is about to
 speak, when Ivar bursts into the room, looking mighty upset.

&quot;</font><font color="#808080">Lady Milla! Don't tell me you were with those clowns again?!</font><font color="#0">&quot;
&quot;Hello Ivar. Yes, they helped me destroy another one of those facilities.&quot;
&quot;</font><font color="#808080">But...! You should be asking ME to go with you instead!</font><font color="#0">&quot;
&quot;Not now, Ivar. Have you seen one of these before?&quot;

Milla hands Ivar the device recovered at the facility, a black and gold casing
 of some kind with a bright blue gemstone instead, the size of a hand. He turns
 it around every angle, and then shakes his head.

&quot;</font><font color="#808080">No, this is the first time I see one of these. What is it?</font><font color="#0">&quot;
&quot;</font><font color="#FF0000">We don't know,</font><font color="#0">&quot; Efreet rumbles.
&quot;</font><font color="#0000FF">But it allowed a man to call forth Aska. Or... his ghost, perhaps. It was hard
 to tell, but that was definitely him.</font><font color="#0">&quot; Undine adds.
&quot;</font><font color="#808080">Who's Aska?</font><font color="#0">&quot;
Sylph shrugs. &quot;</font><font color="#00FF00">He was one of the three entities that made up the Great Spirit
 of Light... oh, about two thousand years ago. Before Rieze Maxia.</font><font color="#0">&quot;
&quot;And yet... I cannot remember that.&quot;
&quot;</font><font color="#808000">Oh, well, that's okay. Maybe it's just your human brain causing you memory
 lapses. There's no way all of Lord Maxwell's knowledge would fit in there,</font><font color="#0">&quot;
 Gnome lazily offers, slumped atop his globe of earth even indoors.
&quot;Perhaps,&quot; Milla sighs. &quot;It seems that a lot of my older memories are hazy,
 though. I hadn't noticed this until lately. I cannot remember the time before
 Rieze Maxia. I cannot even remember Kresnik's face. If he were still alive, he
 would surely lecture me.&quot;
&quot;</font><font color="#808080">Erm, well... maybe you just need some rest? You've been going out a lot. It's
 true you don't sleep but that has to be exhausting!</font><font color="#0">&quot; Ivar insists.
&quot;No. I am perfectly fine. Don't worry Ivar.&quot;
&quot;</font><font color="#FF0000">I'm sure the memory lapses will recede over time,</font><font color="#0">&quot; Efreet says.
&quot;</font><font color="#808000">Even if they don't, who cares about forever ago, right?</font><font color="#0">&quot;
&quot;</font><font color="#0000FF">It's true there are more pressing matters right now.</font><font color="#0">&quot;
&quot;</font><font color="#00FF00">Yeah, think about all those apocalypses! We gotta be there for them too.</font><font color="#0">&quot;
&quot;Of course. Thank you.&quot;
&quot;</font><font color="#808080">Hold on a minute! You can't keep going out without me. I insist, the next time
 you go out you can leave the fighting to me, Lady Milla!</font><font color="#0">&quot;
&quot;I... suppose that's fine.&quot;

Rather than argue with Ivar, Milla simply gives in just this once.
The memory concerns are more important than telling Ivar no, right now.
