We arrived at Shurrey Hill. The Daathic seal is already gone, so let's
head inside.
We came as far as the device that's presumably the passage ring, but it
doesn't respond to anything we do. Apparently it's still sealed by the Yulian
seal. That's odd... I thought Master Kyo removed that seal. Maybe he sealed
it again? Let's look around Shurrey Hill and see if we can find a way to
unseal the passage ring.
Well, we've done what we can. I was worried that we still wouldn't be able
to use the passage ring, but it reacted to Kitten and started up. I wonder if
it's because Kitten is a descendant of Crystal.
Anyway, we were about to try and use the passage ring, but it looks like
Master Kyo was a step ahead of us--he set the passage ring so that the
Sephiroth Tree couldn't be regenerated. Put simply, he's made a valve out of
some sort of code that closed off the Sephiroth. We were stuck, so I asked if
there was any way I could use hyperresonance to erase the valve. I have been
practicing the use of hyperresonance, after all... Emrls said that it could
work, so I gave it a shot.
The passage ring control panel is something like a picture, with all the
information represented graphically. So if the part of the picture
representing the valve is erased, then the code will disappear too. I
followed Emrls' instructions, using hyperresonance to cut the valve part out,
and succeeded in reviving the Sephiroth Tree.
I did it! But just as I was getting elated, we found out that things were
much worse than we thought. It turns out that the Sephiroth Tree controlled
here had been supporting almost the entire continent of Rugnica. At the very
least, it looks like Holt is going to fall as well.
We can't just sit around here--we have to evacuate everybody from Holt!
With the comparatively light weight of the Highwind, it should be easy to
use the remaining power of the Sephiroth to return to the Outer Lands. Let's
head for the hole in the Outer Lands northeast of Crystal City.
