Prologue
After successfully navigating a precipitous mountain pass and gazing over the castle city in the distance, you were able to enjoy a moment of relief. It was fleeting, however, as you felt the ground start to shake beneath your feet. The tremors were only strong enough to set small pebbles into motion at first, but they rapidly swelled in strength.

"What now? An earthquake or somethin'?"

Salvador raised his voice in concern as everyone hurried down the slope. Even a moment's pause would mean the risk of being crushed by a tumbling boulder. Quick glances towards the rampart-ensconced city at the foot revealed all was not well there, either. Above the castle was a small black figure; Elimval discerned with her keen eyesight it was a witch.

"She's releasing an enormous amount of magic. It would be safe to assume she's even the cause of the shaking."

A barkeep of the town in which you found lodging before crossing the mountains had told you the castle held the ruler of Meliott. Long ago, it had been tormented by a powerful succubus, but since her capture some centuries prior, it had experienced no other disasters. Its wise rulers maintained neutrality in all wars and governed with fairness. Therefore, it was all the more surprising to see it under attack.

As you neared the rampart gates, they suddenly opened to release a flood of its citizens that scattered in all directions. All of their faces were pale with fear. Salvador managed to catch one of them to ask for information.

"Hey, what's all this about with the quakes and stuff? Does the flyin' witch have anything to do with that old succubus or whatever?"

The frightened man spoke not a word, but shook his head before spiriting off.

"At least he gave us some kind of answer, but it'd be nice if we could find someone with actual guts around here."

"The flying witch as you called her is Ernice the Insomniac."

You looked around for the source of the sudden voice and saw a single woman standing amongst the crowd. Although her back was facing you, her utter motionlessness gave the impression of great fortitude.

"I'm Germina, one of the soldiers in Meliott's army. What's left of it, anyway."

You approached her from the side to see she was glaring intently at Ernice. Without turning to look at you, she continued to speak.

"Travelers, I sense you hold formidable talents. Please lend them to me so I can save this country. I must force that witch to sleep so Princess Rosaldi can awaken."

Upon mention of the princess, the ghost of a beautiful woman appeared over Germina's shoulder. Rather, it was not a ghost, but its pale form resembled one. Perhaps it was a guardian spirit, but further ponderance was interrupted by Elimval.

"Hero, look... Not at the ghost, but the book Germina's holding. It has 'Nightmare Grimoire' written on the spine. Do you think that it has something to do with...?"
