Queen Aisha’s Retreat
Adak Amaroq sends you up Mount Frost when Queen Aisha’s ice minions attack Guwio. The army withdraws before anyone can explain why, and Nythera takes the opportunity to get inside Aisha’s fortress. You can break through the front gate with a key made from Chaos Gemeralds or slip through the rear entrance by deciphering its rune lock.
Aisha has drawn you into a trap. While you hold off her drake, she takes dragon form. Nythera calls on the power of Chaos and transforms too, insisting the risk is hers to take if it saves Guwio. After their clash she sends you back to Adak. Alone, she is thrilled by the power and horrified by what she used to obtain it. Xing and Xang appear and offer to guide her.
Tracks in the Snow
When Nythera disappears, Adak sends you to Old King Coal, who is sneezing so hard he has already blown Rime down the mountain. Coal shrinks you with ice magic so you can fight off the illness from inside him. He has no news of Nythera afterward, but Adak has found tracks leading into a forest where the snow is too thick to follow them by sight.
George Forge-man uses crystals from the forest to make a Chaos Positioning Spell. It leads you to Nythera, who claims Chaos has given her foresight and made her thinking clearer than ever. She takes dragon form when you refuse to leave her behind, then accuses you of attacking a friend. Convinced Lore cannot contain Chaos’s full potential, she flies off in search of another world.
The Great Void Dragon
The splinters scattered by Nythera’s flight open a portal into the Void. A talkative Void Larva tells you that its master, the Great Void Dragon, summoned her because she is willing to give up everything for power. It helps you learn how to open the lair with four Void Spheres held by powerful Chaos figures in Lore.
The Great Void Dragon tells Nythera that Chaos has fixed her destiny, then demands she sacrifice herself so he can rule both realms. She offers to join forces, but he turns on her when she refuses to die for him. You defeat him and find Nythera still afraid that she has to live out the fate he proclaimed. You remind her that she chose Chaos and can choose differently. Back in Guwio, the villagers welcome her home and she suggests they start repairing the village.
