The protagonists head there and climb the tallest peak to where the wizened old man is said to live. Inside a cave, they only find a strange [[Jehk|humanoid bird]] telling them His Sageness went to the [[Palace of Darkness]]. The adventurers headed into the temple, synchronized the Mana Sword with its Mana seed, and befriended its elemental [[Shade]]. Upon heading back to the hermit’s cave, they learn Sage Joch went to [[Gold Isle]]. The party has no other choice but to comply and head for the aforementioned place. There, they learn about the ruler of the isle [[King Mammon]] has used the [[Wisp light elemental]]’s power to turn its [[Gold City|city]] into gold, and locked it inside [[Gold Tower]]. The key to the tower was stolen by a Tasnican spy. It turns out the spy was Mara’s late husband and she’s been keeping it safe inside a box as a memento. She gives the key to the party and they return to the Light Tower to investigate. They rescue Lumina at the top of the structure and fuse the Mana Seed with the Holy Blade. Upon returning to Sage Joch, his pupil claims he is gone yet again, this time exploring the [[Moon Palace]] near Kakkara Desert. After flying to the aforementioned location, they meet with a friendly [[Robin Foot (Secret of Mana)|Robin Foot]] monster named [[Karon]] who let them cross the [[Sea of Wonder]] with his ferry. There, they go inside the palace with [[Luna]] the Moon elemental awaiting them. Randi draws out his blade once again before the Mana Seed before heading back to the Lofty Mountains. To no one’s surprise, Jehk discloses yet another location his master has gone to and the trio has no other choice but to go there as well.

They arrive as the [[Lemlian Castle]] of the Tasnican republic following Jehk’s instructions, where they learn form Jema about an imperial spy hiding amidst the castle. He is out for the [[Tasnican Chancellor|chancellor]] according to the old knight, pleading the protagonists to stay alert. After searching the castle through and through, they finally enter the audience room to meet with the chancellor. To their utter shock, he frames them as imperial spies and tries to arrest them on the spot. Jema erupts into the scene, claiming the chancellor is a fake since he doesn’t cast any shadow, foiling the usurper’s plans. He reveals himself to be Sheex in disguise and attack the party, but they are no match for him and he is forced to retreat. The true chancellor thanks the adventurers for saving the republic and Jema instructs them to go learn true courage from Sage Joch before the Empire becomes unstoppable.
