After talking with the Moon Mother and receiving gifts for their deed to her, she teleports them to the Town of Verdale and tells them they may find some answers to questions they have not yet asked.
The group starts to investigate when Rhone is entranced near the well in the center of the Village. As others get closer, they become entranced as well, and Rhone is shunted back to consciousness. In the end, Ajax, Eressil, and Zen are trapped in the Trance. While Ashe and Rhone are trying to determine what to do, skeletons start to dig their way out of the ground and begin attacking the group.
Upon destroying the last of the skeletons, those in the trance get shunted out only to find themselves ambushed by a Drake and a Powerful Mage. As the fight progresses on, the mage finally starts to drop, only to transform into a Giant Shadow Dragon. Getting bored with this task, he starts to fly away and commands the drake to meet him back at Loki's former base when it is finished disposing of the half-breeds. The group manages to slay the Drake and the Golem that was summoned by the Dragon.
Those stuck in the Trance, seem to be locked away in a memory. A slight haze makes it hard to see some of the details of this small town they seem to be in the middle of. They see several children playing in the area, and the people of this extremely small town all working and crafting some of the most exquisite pieces they have ever seen. These artisans must be Grand Masters of their trade. What are they doing here?
It appears that they can interact with each other, but can't seem to interact with the world around them.....at least, not easily. With extreme concentration and focus they are able to slightly and subtly alter the world a little, such as lifting papers, and moving small objects.
As the entranced members of the group explore this small memory world, they discover it is a town known as Dawnthicke. They find Order Receipts for Musical Instruments and Clothing to be delivered to Evonra and Emberbury. They also discover the doctor of the town is trying to find a cure for Lupus.
The memory seems to focus on the 6 Children and a play they are practicing. After a bit of exploring, the memory seems to advanced to a later time. The children are up on a stage, and are in the middle of giving their play. Their parents are in the audience, watching with smiles on their faces. The story of the play seems unremarkable.
At some point Eressil decides the shoulder check the little boy wearing the mask, while he is acting out the play. While it may not be a lot, the force is enough to trip the boy up, knocking him over, and causing his mask to fly off his face, revealing the signs of Lupus that can be seen across his face. Everyone in the audience is shocked into stunned silence, and the little boys runs from the stage crying, with Erwin Screaming out his name in sadness trying to stop him.
Suddenly the dream worlds starts to flicker and those in the trance get shunted back into their own bodies.
