After climbing the Tower to Zenithia, the party rides a small cloud to the heavenly realm of Zenithia, atop a cloud high above the rest of the world. No sooner do they enter Zenithia Castle than Orifiela leaves the party. Glad we could help you get back, ma'am.

After that, the party is free to roam about the castle. Through the northwest door, a friendly Imp will give them some Yggdrasil Dew (time index 1:27). In the room to the east, a chest of drawers contains Mini Medal #51 (time index 2:11). A Zenithian woman in this room confirms the tale of the woodcutter and the fallen angel. Did I hear her right? The name of their child sounds quite familiar...

In the eastern part of the floor, a stairway leads downstairs (time index 3:30). It seems that Orifiela is a caretaker for dragon pups. She gives the party a new companion, Sparkie. Sparkie is powerful but unpredictable. A nearby dwarf advises the party to get the Baron's Bugle, if they have not already. A nun in the church warns that Psaro has set up barriers to protect himself in the underworld. To the east, at a sparkling spot by the pond, a sparkling point indicates where the party can find Mini Medal #52 (time index 5:12).

Upstairs on the castle's third floor (time index 6:41), in the wet room, the party finds a familiar pair of fairies. They still don't seem fond of humans. In the east room, there is a library, where a couple of the librarians will translate a couple of book articles for the party. There are also a couple of other books that the party can read without translation. This is some interesting information pertaining to Estark, evolution, and even the hero himself.

I have to wonder: who is Heorot's mother, and who penned the book about her?

After leaving to rest, the party heads upstairs to the Zenith Dragon's chamber (time index 13:04). While the party has their audience, waves of malice flow from the Doorway to Nadiria. The dragon confirms Heorot's mysterious heritage. So, Heorot is not just some farm boy. He also infuses the young hero with 19,500 experience points and upgrades the Zenithian Sword. He instructs the hero to go through a new opening in the cloud to Nadiria.

In the southeastern grounds outside the castle, the party finds where the waves of malice blasted through the thick cloud layer (time index 17:32). Dropping through this hole, they will survive yet another fall of great height, RPG characters that they are, and land outside the Doorway to Nadiria.

Thanks for watching!
