"I spoke to Ord about his son. Family is a bit more of a universal thing to be concerned about, so I figured he'd like to know. He seemed disappointed his son was so feeble, but at least he was alive. I also told him about the broken mirror. Ord became far more open to the Eresians now that we know a fairy stole the mirror. I then described the same things to Olha. She began to cry when I showed her the mirror. It wasn't out of sadness towards its shattered state, but because it reminded her of her late mother. The mirror has been passed down through priestesses for generations, and I think that title is hereditary. Before leaving, she asked me to befriend Isha. Olha believes herself a bad sister because she can't be there for her struggling younger sibling.
Isha was at the beach and was surprised but happy when I showed up. I don't know if she's a priestess, but Isha has a special power herself. She has visions. She saw me fighting the crab-moth and even described moments during the battle. And it was her second time doing that. When I washed up on the beach, Isha saw the wandering calamity battle. But she's never shared this power with Olha or anyone else. She really has been suffering alone. I told her about the mirror as well and went on my way. She wanted to stay at the beach, but I had other plans.
Before moving on, though, I found a Redhan Feather sometime. It's another sacred thing to my new friends, but it's only supposed to be used by warriors to train. It takes the user to the Inner Sanctum, where Olha prays. Inside are visions that represent your past. For me, it took me to three obstacles and mental tasks. Terra, a member of the pirate crew that brought me here, had me do a ninja warrior path. Olha had me finding monsters hidden among people. Isha tasked me to find stuff she lost on the beach. But I did it and brought 1000 emolas back to the real world. Cool!
So I was free to roam again, and I remembered something in the Mythos Pass. There was a wall with a gem on it that was actually a door. To enter it, I had to hit it with the blue sword. There was a similar wall where I fought Geis that was red. I struck that door, and it opened. On the otherside was the Ruins of Amnesia.
This place really sucked. The mobs were tough and defensive, and they loved to knock me into pits. The laser shooting plants, the fire spinning wasps, and clowns were abundant. There was also another thing that I'd guess is a relative to the shuriken plants. I had to make a number of long jumps that I, in theory, could do. But I'm not very reliable at it. If anyone evil is reading this, turn your life around because this is where you'll go when you die. After wading through the most lukewarm lava I've experienced, I saw another piece of mirror on the floor. A golden naked fairy, who was far calmer that the red one, appeared. But I had what she called a "key" and brought forth another monster.
Ud-Melyu, the Guardian of the Cradle, was a jumping four legged spider. It leaped into the ...sky... so high that I lost sight of it. If I was too close to its landing spot, I'd be blown away or squished. I had to time my run aways, jumps, and leaping strikes to defeat the creature. Sera, the fairy, spoke more about the key and said we'd meet again.
The fight broke open a secret path to Zemeth Sanctum. On the way were giant scientific beakers that held some things inside. Only one was glowing. But behind that was a grand garden that reminded me of something I saw on Ys. Their Goddess Palace was inhabited by monsters, but this one was empty. But there was another thing that made me recall it: the statue in the center. She had wings like Feena and Reah. And I think she spoke to me. She warned me of the Black Key, which made me wonder what the keys were. Are they the swords? Are they controlling the emolas? She kept trying to speak to me, but her voice tailed off. I'd find the third yellow sword in a room behind her.
As I left, Geis walked up to me. He confided that he'd never be able to defeat the guardian, so this was his only way. He then placed magical talismans on the colored spheres in the statue room and referred to them as keyholes. I wish someone would fill me in!
But we both left, and I went to Rimorage. I upgraded the Ericcil and learned the bridge was fixed. A few Redhans were in town, including Isha. She was with Ur and Rada. She and Ur seemed to be close friends because he teased her before Rada shut it down. It's disrespectful to poke at a priestess. Ur left, and I told the remaining of my actions. Rada knows of Geis, but he's only seen him around. Both spoke about noticing a plank of wood travel beneath the new bridge. Isha saw my face as it went by. I spoke to Basham about the path to Zemolas, which he hired me to find. He gave me a necklace to let me swim better. I think I'll need it and the light necklace I found in Amnesia to see where that wood floated too."

These dungeons are rough! I expect the tough bosses, but I actually think they're on the easier side compared to Felguana. But getting to them, man...99999999999
