[%username]! You've helped us advance from Kaluva's Nest to the Crystal Mezzanine, so I guess you're all right.
Not yet. Our investigators keep getting stopped by [%dic:STR_DIC_M_IDAbRe_Core_FiNmd_Combine].
Every time they get close, it splits into [%dic:STR_DIC_M_IDAbRe_Core_Boss_Guardian_Light_Fi_55_Al] and [%dic:STR_DIC_M_IDAbRe_Core_Boss_Guardian_Dark_Fi_55_Al], then pushes them back or kills them.
Are you ready for another chance to penetrate the Abyssal Splinter?
Let me give you the run down. After splitting into [%dic:STR_DIC_M_IDAbRe_Core_Boss_Guardian_Light_Fi_55_Al] and [%dic:STR_DIC_M_IDAbRe_Core_Boss_Guardian_Dark_Fi_55_Al], they build a shield.
But they also cancel each other out! If you take Rukril's Splendor Fragment to Ebonsoul--and, conversely, Ebonsoul's Darkness Fragment to Rukril--his shield will disappear.
But you must coordinate your attacks. If one collapses before the other, the remaining enemy will become too aggressive to deal with.
After all we've been through, you draw the line at this? This?
We may hold the Divine Fortress right now, but we could be attacked from beneath at any time.
Ah, [%username], our potential savior. What news of Rukril and Ebonsoul? What lies beyond the Crystal Mezzanine? Safety, perhaps?
Good work! Your efforts and constant loyalty make the fortress a safer way-station for all Daevas.
An Artifact of Protection, you say. There must be a way to use it to our advantage.
Get rid of the Protector of the Crystal Mezzanine.

Let [%dic:STR_DIC_NPC_Ab1_1011_TreasureGate_Li] know there's more to the Splinter.
The Abyssal Splinter remains un-investigated because Rukril and Ebonsoul protect the Crystal Mezzanine. Defeat them for the right to explore deeper inside the Splinter.
Aratus said his investigators had advanced to the Crystal Mezzanine, but couldn't win past it.
Following his information, you got rid of Rukril and Ebonsoul, then discovered the Artifact of Protection inside the Abyssal Splinter.
