The Wretch

Although it hurts to think about her, the Wretch is afraid for his sister Pia, who has gone missing. Help the Wretch uncover a sinister plot involving the wayward Fortunata, save the universe, and just, perhaps, reunite a brother and sister.

Souvenir

A Purple Flower Petal

This is a petal that fell from a flower Paolo Marino, better known as The Wretch, gave to his sister Pia after helping to rescue her.

It started when the Wretch asked for your help, explaining that his sister had gone missing at her base on Mercy Island. Thinking it would be a simple investigation, he sent you to the base to check for clues, but it turned out, the people who had taken her were still there!

They where The Nihilists. They had taken the concepts of Nihilism to their illogical extremes, believing that life was not only meaningless, but should end. They thought the Big Bang was a mistake, and that that mistake had to be undone by destroying the universe... and they found a way.

You discovered that they were to enact the ritual of Alka'Ta in order to collapse the universe. This Ritual required a psychic anchor, and that anchor was Pia. You needed more information about the ritual itself, and so raided the Circle of Thorns in search of it, encountering a goddess named Eimyrja. You found that the book was in two parts, and that the Nihilists were again one step ahead of you, but the ritual required a unique item...

This item was a Particle Inverter, which you stole from Crey before the Nihilists could get their hands on it. Setting it with a tracking device, you let the Nihilists take it, letting them believe they had won it fair and square, though Eimyrja tried to interfere.

You then tracked them to a place in Croatoa, where the ritual was already underway! You and the Wretch teamed up, and Eimyrja offered to help too. You saved his sister, and then took out the Marshal, the leader of the Nihilists. You also destroyed the Particle Inverter, so that no one could ever use it to try and destroy the universe again.

A brother and sister had a heartfelt reunion, and then once again parted ways.
