You've come at a bad time...or should I say a good time? Because you may be able to help.

One of my fellow Legionaries was struck with a Drakan curse while fighting in Silentera Canyon. She's been turned into stone!

We've tried every potion and spell we have--nothing works.

I imagine her standing there, the wind and rain wearing at her.... Oh, Aion...

She...Sinigalla...we...I... Shards, I can't even think straight.

We're friends and comrades. But since the first moment I saw her, I wanted us to be...well, more....

My superiors have all but given up on her. But I can't. I won't.

I've heard of an alchemist in Morheim who may be able to help, but I can't get time away from here to ask him.

Please, I beg you, visit him and ask him if there's anything he can do.

Thank you, thank you! I can't tell you how much this means to me.

The alchemist's name is Kistig. He lives in Patamor Thicket in Morheim.

I'll be praying to Aion that he can do something. Do whatever you can to help him succeed.

Ah, Azphelumbra.

I'm sorry, but I have quite a bit on my mind at the moment...not all of it good.

If you don't have any business with me...?

Hmm, a petrifying curse, eh? I've heard legends of Tiamat having that kind of power. Must be strong, at any rate, if no known remedy works.

I don't have anything on hand that they probably haven't tried, but fortunately, my past research does have some relevance to this situation.

I'll gather some ingredients, start tinkering with some formulae. It'll take some time, though--please tell Nep to be patient.

Finally! You've returned!

You found Kistig, didn't you? You have something in your cube that can undo the curse, don't you?

Oh. I see.

I apologize for just now. That was beneath me as a Legionary and an Asmodian. It's just that all this brooding I've been doing...

Well, it sounds like there's hope. That must be enough. Thanks for making the journey for me.

Nep's fellow Legionary--and love interest--was petrified during a battle with the Balaur, and nothing has helped her.

At his request, you went to Morheim to see Kistig the alchemist. He told you that he would search for a cure, but that it would take time.

Nep was disappointed at the lack of immediate relief, but took the news with strength and hope.
