Story[]
After the events in Granz's Castle, the Hero and Heroine are rescued in the desert, and the protagonist wakes in Ishe surronded by his/her friends.
Talking with Cibba, they discover that the Mana Sword sleeps inside the Subsea Volcano, the Hero decided to travel there to take the sword with Lester, while the Heroine joins Willy to go there too.
Cibba also tells the protagonist, that the volcano is beyold the kingdom of Lorimar, and asked to bring the sword to him, while he and Bogard waits in Ishe.
So the duo travels through the desert to find a way to the kingdom crossing high platforms in the south and through ravines in the north,
To go to the north, the protagonist must travel at night when in the middle of the ravines a luminescent bridge is revealed, but the Ruined Passage is closed at this point in the game, so they must head south.
