Teleportation requires so much Aether. Sadly, that's in short supply these days. And my teleportation statue has been acting rather strange lately...

• "That sounds bad."

Very bad. I don't know if the device is just old or damaged, but each activation consumes more Aether than it should.

I think it needs a repair and I'm worried that the statue may malfunction before I can get the work done.

For now, I can make do with extra Aether Crystals. But since I need to look after the statue and activate it, I don't have time to collect them.

• "I can gather Aether Crystals."

Thank you for volunteering, Daeva.

You know the Vortexes that float in the sky above the Fortress? The Aether Crystals from them will hold me until I can get the repairs made.

• Accept.
• Decline.

Thank you.

Several vortices float in the sky above the fortress. You just have to get the Aether Crystals from them.

I need 15 I think. Please bring them to me.

• "The task is mine."

Orhe said she needs Aether Crystals to power the statue. Extract them from the Vortexes above the Fortress.

So far, the statue hasn't caused any problems, but I'm afraid of what could happen. Did you bring the Aether Crystals I asked for?

• "I hope these help."

Not enough crystals yet?

Did you have trouble? Please hurry!

• "On my way."

With these, the statue should hold up until I can get repairs in place.

Thank you for doing this for me!

Orhe said that the teleportation statue was consuming excessive Aether and asked you to extract Aether Crystals to power the statue until it is repaired.

You flew above the fortress and extracted Crystals from the Vortexes there.
