===Zenithia===
{{spoiler|start}}

Psaro: Wait!

Psaro: People still think of me as a monster. I wouldn't be welcome in Zenithia.

Psaro: I'll wait for you in the wagon.

(*): Behold the mighty castle of Zenithia.

(*): You stand in the domain of the great Dragon God.

(*): Oh! Many years have passed since wingless friends did tread the clouds of our realm.

(*): The word from the earth below is of a terrible evil. A wicked foe about to be reborn.

(*): The recent tremor was most terrifying. Such must be the earthquakes you humans suffer on the earth below.

(*): But the wave of malice... Though the castle is unharmed, alack, it has pierced a hole in the clouds.

(*): Oh, but the fear!

(*): The wave of malice from the land below has pierced a hole in the clouds.

(*): It was the cause of this gross tear in the soft fabric of our homeland.

(*): Grrr...

(*): You will be travelling to strange places in the near future.

(*): So I must ask you. Have you already obtained the baron's bugle?

(*): If not, you must find it. It is said to reside in Baron's Folly, to the east of the Azimuth.

(*): Grrrooo...

(*): The Zenith Dragon tells us that Psaro the Manslayer's barriers of protection have been rent asunder.

(*): Yet another now possesses the Secret of Evolution, and doth use it for still more evil.

(*): Prithee, Hero... Rid us of this evil wight, and the menace of this Secret of Evolution.

Orifiela: We are all depending on you now.

(*): It has begun!

(*): A wicked cloud doth begin to spread across the world below!

(*): Many years ago, a young angel did descend from Zenithia and fell in love with a human woodcutter.

(*): But the divine law doth say that no angel and no human shall together be.

(*): The woodcutter was struck down by a bolt of lightning and the grief-stricken angel was returned to Zenithia.

(*): Woebegone, she could not put from her mind the memory of the child she was forced to leave behind.

(*): If today she were to see her Hero once more, what force could be powerful enough to stop her, her tears...? (sob sob)

(*): Hm? What am I doing? I'm nurthing thome young Yggdrasil thaplingth.

(*): Here you are. Have thome Yggdrasil dew. It'th a prethent from me!

(Character) receives some Yggdrasil dew!

(*): What'th that? You want thome more Yggdrasil dew?

(*): Don't be tho greedy! I'll give you more oneth you've exhauthted what you've already got.

(*): All right. But it'th our little thecret, okay?

(Character) receives some Yggdrasil dew!

(*): Huh! (A human/Humans)! Don't say anything, Daisy.

Daisy: Hmph! No, Oopsy.

Daisy: Hmph...

(*): ♪ La-la-la, La-la-la... ♪

(*): Do you desire to read of the books?

(*): Very well. Allow me to read to you...

(*): "The Secret of Evolution". Ahem...

(*): "The Secret of Evolution is an occult mechanism to corrupt the normal course of evolution.

(*): "When this mechanism is used, creatures may be born that were never intended to appear in our world.

(*): "The Secret of Evolution is the evil of all evils.

(*): "Such potency cannot be inherited by our children and children's children. It must be sealed away..."

(*): And yet, after many years, it was discovered again.

(*): Perhaps it was the evil streak introduced by Estark's meddling in evolution that caused it to surface once again.

(*): Very well. Perhaps at another time...

(*): Do you desire to read of the books?

(*): "A History of War". Ahem...

(*): "Many moons ago, Estark, the Master of Monsterkind, unearthed a terrible evil: the Secret of Evolution.

(*): "Using this awesome power, Estark evolved into a creature so mighty that he would rival even the gods.

(*): "But the Zenithians were aware of Estark's designs and, alongside the Zenith Dragon, engaged him in battle.

(*): "After a long and bloody war, Estark was finally sealed away deep underground.

(*): "For even the mighty Zenith Dragon was not powerful enough to completely destroy Estark.

(*): "He must never be stirred. He must never be roused.

(*): "Such potency cannot be inherited by our children and children's children. It must be sealed away..."

(*): It was only in hindsight that the truth was known. The Secret of Evolution used by Estark was incomplete.

(*): The armlet of transmutation, needed to augment the dark powers necessary for the process, was never employed by Estark.

(*): Very well. Perhaps at another time...

(*): There are books on these shelves that you cannot read.

(*): You can ask one of those two to read them to you, though.

(*): You are in the presence of the Zenith Dragon, our lord and master!

(*): Hero!? (He/She) who shares the blood of human and Zenithian alike!

(*): Your well-being has always weighed heavy on the Zenith Dragon's mind.

Zenith Dragon: From my lofty dominion here, I observe all that takes place below. All that afflicts the human world occurs under my watchful eye.

Zenith Dragon: Your deeds I have witnessed also.

Zenith Dragon: But know this! There is no lee from evil while the Secret of Evolution remains in the world. Not for any of us.

Zenith Dragon: Use the Zenithian Sword, Hero! Banish the Secret of Evolution once and for all!
