As the sky turns dark, the full moon shines cold and eerie in the heavens.
Today's the day, if you remember what Tatara and G'raha told you. Should you venture by the old sage's room in the dusk, you'll see the threads shining bolder and brighter than they did a week ago, the colors soaring straight towards the countries they represent. They most certainly lead somewhere, the key to all of this. And at any minute now, Tatara should be calling another meeting to address putting the previous sage back together. Soon, in theory, you should be free of your obligation to this world, and soon, in theory, you should be able to go home.
But something else happens first.
Solomon, Ahito, Ithaqua, Robin, Phil, Mika, Cid, Khun, Jing Yuan, Comet, and Day are the first ones to notice something's wrong. There comes a low rumble in the distance, followed by another, and yet another—the rhythmic pounding of something large against the earth. It's faint, but distinct. Something approaches.
And then, there is a shift in the air. Robin, Ithaqua, Phil, Jing Yuan, Comet, and Day are the only ones to sense this. It happens once, twice. The air through the manor flows free—the barriers surrounding the manor have gone down.
The world goes silent.
Robin is the only one quick enough to react. Though he knows not what comes, he will not take chances. He stands from his spot in the dining hall and throws up a defensive barrier around himself, Bruno, and Urianger.

Is it enough? ]
