Greetings, Daeva. We fought valiantly to win the Phanoe Valley.

That damned Expeditionary Force came in after the bloodshed and carnage stopped, but it didn’t stop them from sharing in our glory. Tea-sipping novices!

It was wild out there. I got ambushed... they were everywhere!

I took off and they started chasing me... I could feel the dark forever biting at my heels. But as I was running, a big sandstorm erased my footsteps behind me.

Turns out it they were friendly Sandspout Obscura.

• "They saved you?"

In a way, yes. The enemy couldn’t follow me, so I lost them. I never thought an Obscura would save my life. They’re all right in my book. But I just got handed orders. It’s something I can’t do, but I was hoping you could.

The same Obscuras that saved my life... now need to be exterminated.

Now we need to conquer the Phanoe Valley Base, the Sandspout Obscura present a threat to our security...

At least that’s what my orders say.

Could you do this for me, Daeva?

• Accept.
• Decline.

Kaisinel doesn’t have mercy for everyone, I suppose. But I see his logic. If the enemy realises how the Obscuras helped me, they may use the same power against us.

So, you don’t mind killing Sandspout Obscura for me? I just can’t, not since they saved my life.

And, if you could, bring back their strange dust so I can show my superiors? Blessed Ariel, this is a sad day to be a Daeva.

• "A good soldier doesn't feel sorrow."

Get rid of Sandstorm Obscuras and collect their dust as Nydrea requested.

Now that we have the Phanoe Valley Base, we must do everything in our power to hold it. Even things that we don’t want to do.

How did the Obscura situation turn out, Daeva? I feel bad, but I hope that you’ve taken care of matters.

• "Here's the Obscura Dust."

Are you having second thoughts about hunting the Obscuras?

I don’t blame you. Well, if you can bring yourself to murder some empathetic creatures, I’ll give you the reward.

Just don’t keep me waiting too long...

I don’t want to dwell on this matter longer than I have to.

• "An order is an order, right?"

You really killed the Sandstorm Obscuras?

I wasn’t sure you had it in you, Daeva.

Don’t... don’t give me details.

I just want to forget about this dark day in my life. Here’s your reward, though.

Nydrea said she got help from Sandspout Obscuras. But she said she had received orders to kill them, so she asked for your help in the matter.

When you returned after killing the Obscuras, Nydrea thanked you and gave you a reward for doing what she couldn’t.
