Envoy ventures amidst the whirling crystal petals of the Rose Shield, shutting herself off from Kia and Whonkahonk. She works her way in and meets up with the Observer crystal, and detects a "gateway" that she steps through … and finds herself seemingly in a place apart from physical space, in the presence of an entity that claims to be Barada and the same entity that gave Envoy her "quest" in the first place to gather the four elements that would restore her mind and her magic. She bids Envoy to take the Observer crystal, even though this would result in the destruction of Stalto, arguing that whatever knowledge might be lost with these ruins, greater secrets are yet to be found.
