*Complete the '''Entering Pruinaum''' story quest

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''You're... Calonne? I heard you live a secluded life in Northern Empire. We're glad you're here. We know it was a bit sudden...''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''No, I'm pleased ot be of assistance. Laby helped us without question when we needed it most, after all. Besides... Once I heard what happened to Lord Aegirp and my comrades, I had to come to lend my hand.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''Haha, yes, thank you for your marvelous introduction, Laby. However, let me properly introduce myself. My name is Calonne. I am the head of the R&D Branch of White-Ghost Army, and the official delegate of Elrios under Lord Aegirp.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''That was my title when I arrived in Elrios long, long time ago. The title lost its meaning when the connection between Northern Empire and the White-Ghost King's territory was severed. Now... Would you mind explaining, in detail, what is happening back home?''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''... I was going to lend my hand regardless, but it seems that it is I, who should ask for your assistance. I will do everything I can to assist.''

*{{StoryIcon|CC}} '''Chung:''' ''They've kidnapped the priestesses, manipulated the Holy Beasts, and attempted to revive the Demon God. We've really been fighting against demons to protect Elrios for a long time now...''

*{{StoryIcon|Blu}} '''Ain:''' ''No matter. They won't be able to use the same method anymore. With the restoration of the Large El and the rise of Elrianode, demons will no longer be able to invade Elrios using El Shards.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''Hm, I see.... The White-Ghost King became out lord by defeating every pack in our land and subjugating them. Berthe was one of those who were defeated by the White-Ghost King. Though we served under the same lord... I must admit, he was always arrogant and... cruel. He did pledge loyalty to our lord, but he always showed dissent when it came to our efforts to trade with Elrios. Some of us believed his rebellious nature was cause for concern, but our lord insisted we should trust him.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''Yes. They were the ones to invade Northern Empire. To think, Berthe was behind it all... Despire his nature, I never suspected his loyalties were not true...''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''I see... That's why you need a portal engineer... First, I'll need to see the portal you mentioned can actually be used.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''I see... It's different from the portals I worked with, but the mechanics shouldn't be too different... I should be able to figure out a way to operate it in just a few moments.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''The portal seems to be in working order, however... The coordinates would provide a problem. The only coordinates I have is the one to the central portal, but that portal is likely occupied by Berthe and his army to invade Elrios. If I enter the coordinates to the central portal, you will be thrown in the midst of your enemies. That would be problematic, wouldn't you agree?''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Hm... What about the coordinates to Rigomor? Because Add knows them already, right Add? How about we meet Winster there, and then head to the site of operation?''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''Oh, pardon me. I just recalled something from your conversation. If I'm not mistaken, I believe I have an idea. Would you mind handing me a piece of paper? I will map our the basics for you.... The location of the soul fragment that Deborah and I share, is right here at the circle. And I believe this right here, just west of the sea, is where you've landed last time.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''Yes, despite the great benefits the exchange has brought, many believed the action was equivalent to fraternizing with the enemy. There were even talks of disguising the items we've exchanged as tributes or results of plunder.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''Percisely. But our lord refused to do so. She emphasized multiple times that we were equals, and we were to mutually benefit each other as we move forward.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''That likely played a part, but I doubt it was the only reason.... There you go. The portal is ready to activate.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''Wh, what are you talking about?! Hmph, I'm just here to relay a message from Old Man.''

*{{StoryIcon|Rosso3}} '''Rosso:''' ''... 'I'm afraid something urgent came up, so I won't be able to see you off. I wish you success, and a safe journey.'... is what he said.''

*{{StoryIcon|Ventus}} '''Ventus:''' ''Soon, we don't even have time to breathe, but how can I resist saying farewell to my favorite people? Besides... I'm here to give you a gift. Lincy was nagging me constantly to do something. She was really worried about you.''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''Everyone, before you leave, I must remind you one last time. The soul should be separated into 5 pieces. Lord Aegirp always said, only the worthy would be capable of absorbing the soul fragments. Please stop Berthe and prevent her soul from being used against her noble intention.''

*{{StoryIcon|KE}} '''Elsword:''' ''Then... let's go. Back to the Demon Realm. We'll settle things with Berthe once and for all!''

*{{StoryIcon|Calonne}} '''Calonne:''' ''Oh no, I have a different request entirely. Would it be alright if I use this portal?''
