After rescuing Guinevere and Cecilia, Jin headed towards the Nabata Desert, following Sofiya's lead. According to her, the village of Arcadia was located in an oasis hidden in the desert.

However, Arcadia was already under attack by Bern. Jin suspected their aim to be the Dragons that were said to inhabit the village.

Although the Lycia Alliance Army moved as quickly as they could towards Arcadia, a vicious sandstorm stood in their way.

(Inside a temple.)

Igrene: Hurry, Fa! There's a place to hide if you follow this path. Can you make it there?

Fa: But Fa's tired!

Igrene: Don't be stubborn. Now go, or else Bern's soldiers might find us.

Fa: What about Sofiya?

Igrene: I don't know… Maybe she was caught by Bern's troops.

Fa: If we get caught by Bern, then can we see the outside world?

Igrene: Fa, no. The elders said that we mustn't communicate with the outside.

Fa: Aww… Please?

Igrene: No. …But I wonder how Bern found out about our village… Perhaps it has something to do with the ominous energy that Sofiya detected from the soldiers…

Fa: What's wrong?

Igrene: ! I shouldn't be thinking about such matters now. Fa! Over here, hurry!

Fa: …Fa wants to see the outside world, too.

(Scene switches to outside. Focus on castle.)

Randy: Zeis! Hasn't General Narshen arrived yet?

Zeis: A band of mercenaries and some Dragons have arrived as reinforcements, but General Narshen's group hasn't arrived yet.

Randy: What is he thinking? He must know that it's impossible to conquer the village with a small army like this…

Zeis: …

Randy: Anyway, we must inform the king about the Dragons living here. Zeis, I want you to go to Aquleia and report to King Zephiel.

Zeis: What shall I say?

Randy: Dragons do indeed inhabit this village. According to a captive, there are also signs of 'Divine Dragons,' the most powerful even among Dragons. …Tell him that.

Zeis: Yes, sir.

Randy: Make it quick.

(Zeis flies off. Scene switches to Jin.)

Jin: Wow… This is some sandstorm.

Sofiya: Yes… This sandstorm…has always protected our village from intruders…

Jin: It's going to be a pain trying to look for a village in this mess. I can't see three meters ahead… So in which direction should we be moving?

Sofiya: Yes… Head to the northeast… But…

Jin: But?

Sofiya: There may be things hidden in the sand…blown around by the sandstorm… Please be careful where you step…

(Cecilia joins. A Battle begins. 7 minutes pass. Rose, Maggie, and some Bandits appear from the south.)

Rose: Maggie, my dear, did we not see someone head towards the middle of the desert?

Maggie: Yes, Rose, you are most correct.

Rose: Then, Maggie, it must be true that there is a hidden village around here.

Maggie: Bless my soul, Rose, I believe you are correct.

Rose: But, my dear Maggie, we don't want to get lost in the sandstorm, do we?

Maggie: Of course not, Rose. Then we wouldn't be able to find our way home.

Rose: Well then, Maggie, do you think that we should pass up the hidden village?

Maggie: My dear Rose, you forget that there are rumors of vast treasures hidden in that village.

Rose: Well, we certainly don't want to miss that, do we, Maggie?

Maggie: Of course not, Rose. We can make a lot more money through that than by mugging travelers.

Rose: But we don't want to get lost, either, do we, Maggie?

Maggie: My dear Rose, I have an idea. We may follow the people whom we saw heading into the desert earlier.

Rose: That's a wonderful idea, Maggie. And once we reach the village, we can thank them by mashing their heads in.

Maggie: Of course, my dear Rose.

Rose: Well then, Maggie, shall we be off?

Maggie: Why certainly, my dear Rose.

(A few minutes pass. Sofiya moves to the space in front of the castle gate.)

Sofiya: Something…is glittering in the sand… Oh… A beautiful ring…

(Sofiya obtained Guiding Ring. A few minutes pass. Jin approaches Rose. Jin and Rose fight. A few minutes pass. Jin defeats Rose.)

Rose: …Bless my soul, Maggie… It hurts, does it not…?

(A few minutes pass. Jin approaches Maggie. Jin and Maggie fight. A few minutes pass. Jin defeats Maggie.)

Maggie: …Hmm… My dear Rose, maybe we were wrong…

(A few minutes pass. Jin approaches Randy.)
Randy: My sword is invincible. Now choose your death. By the blade…or by its light?

(He says this because he's carrying the Light Brand. Jin and Randy fight. A few minutes pass. Jin defeats Randy.)

Randy: I am glad…that I could meet one as strong as you…before my death.

(A few minutes pass. Jin Seizes the gate and ends the battle.)

Jin: That was tough…but we won. Sofiya, where are the inhabitants of the village? …What's wrong?

Sofiya: …The entrance to the temple…

Jin: This door… It looks like it was forced open. What lies inside this temple?

Sofiya: A spell book… We call it…the Divine Weapon…

Jin: Divine Weapon!? There was one here, too? …Then that must be what Bern was after! In that case, we might be too late…!

Sofiya: …The Divine Weapon is still here…

Jin: Really? How can you tell?

Sofiya: It is there… I can feel it…

Jin: All right. Let's go! We may still be able to stop Bern!
