Season 2 Chapter 2 | Mistlefig: Reign of Magic is a story segment in Echoes of Mana.

Storyline
The party of the harvester, Mousseline, and Duffle are warped back to the Mana Sanctuary, with Duffle commenting on its beauty. The Mana Goddess Nona introduces herself to the lively lady by calling her name, which surprises her since they only first met. Duffle surmises that she must be the Mana Goddess Baashear is alway revving about, the the fluffball replies his goddess is more goddess-like, as this is the younger twin sister of the other Mana Goddess. Duffle is a bit confused but manages to detangle the story of the twin goddesses in the end. Duffle comments on the root invasion back in the echo, and how the harvester used the Mana Sword to eradicate the threat. Nona agrees with the echo being saved for now, but the faerie adds that the world is far from being completely free from Dema's grasp, as the False Tree's roots are spreading fast with nothing to stop them. Nona tries to reasure Mousseline by telling that Diospyros is already off dealing with multiple roots, so finding their friends is their number one priority. The protagonist agrees and pluck the next Echo fruit from the holy tree. Nona tells the harvester that the fruit they have harvested is link to the person they wish to encounter. Despite Mousseline complaining she would like to rest, the party head to the next echo. Baashear is a bit sad to see the party leaving so soon, but the goddess reminds him that he's a no simple sheep and that she wishes to understand him more.

The trio is teleported inside the castle of Altena, Kingdom of Magicians. Mousseline comments on the powerful magic veiling the kingdom while Duffle is enchanted by the decor. The party notices a bunch of trainees practicing their magic onto targets. This sight makes Duffle certain of finding Honeycomb here, so she decides to ask around for clues. A young, unassuming mage named Framaus answers his call while Mousseline decides to sneak away. The young man seems frazzled by Duffle's enthusiasm, demanding she slows down. This attracts the trainees' attention, asking the trio to go away since they are being loud. A male magician recognizes Framaus, scolding and insulting him for skipping his magic lessons. Duffle tries to defend him, but the apprentice starts picking on her and the harvester instead. The two bullies are stopped by Angela, the altenish princess passing by. She shut them up, then tries to cheer up Framaus by telling him not to pay attention to them. The young lad replies it's still the truth since he is unable to learn magic. Angela replies that they both are late bloomers since she is in the same predicament. They might even become powerful wizards in the future. Duffle apologizes to Framaus for bumping into him so suddenly earlier, but Angela claims the trainees should be the one apologizing. The party makes a formal introduction and the princess invites them all to stick around for her special training ground.

Angela is excited after not only finishing training, but by also not using magic despite being in the magic kingdom. Duffle congratulates the princess on her fighting skills, but is curious about her not being able to learn magic. Framaus surmises that she and the harvester must not be from Altena if they don't know the story behind it. The young squire suddenly remembers they must find their friend Honeycomb and starts describing him to Angela and Framaus. The young lad supposes he might be a new student, with the princess recalling seeing a guy fitting that description around the castle library.
