(Light seems awfully cheeful)

Wouldn't you know it, your lead has actually led us to another lead, and then another, and then-

We found him.

But the idiot decides to be difficult.

Wha- Night, how dare you talk about our leader that way.

He's not here to hear it, so...

Awful. I could snitch on you, you know...ahem.

Like he said, the founder is...not exactly happy that we sniffed him out. He's...not very fond of city work.

Lazy ass.

Night!!!

In any case, Night told you what to do as your first step towards ascension, right? Sorry about drifting off last time.

Why don't we assess your progress?

(stares intently)

Oh, you have definitely improved from when we last met! I'm elated!

(nods approvingly)

Now, this means you can move on to the next level. Where you had to endure without magic first...now you must focus completely on your magic!

Meditate, condense it, feel it move within you...let it slowly grow stronger.

In the meantime, we will try talk some sense into the Founder. I want to put in a good word for you.

Do your best, adventurer!
