Retired Text Talking to Sir Draithon
 * Sir Draithon tells you, "Greetings. There is little time, so I'll cut right to the point."
 * Sir Draithon tells you, "The Prince's fiance, Hoshino Kei, has been kidnapped!"
 * Sir Draithon tells you, "Her rooms in the castle were all but destroyed. The only clues we have are the scattered remains of destroyed undead, and the fact that there was a great deal of fire damage to the area."
 * Sir Draithon tells you, "Since Fire Magics do not do much collateral damage, the fire must've either been mundane, or something indicative of the undead."
 * Sir Draithon tells you, "As the area damaged is small, and Hoshino Kei was successfully overpowered, so we can also surmise that the undead were few in number, but powerful. That's all we have to go on."
 * Sir Draithon gives you Attuned Essence Gem.
 * Sir Draithon tells you, "Take this Gem. it is attuned to Hoshino Kei's essence, and should help you find her if you get close to any place where she has passed through since her capture."
 * Sir Draithon tells you, "If you find her, report back to me. The Prince is already out searching, but I can reach him if one of you is successful."

When you use the Attunement Essence Gem under the place (on the ground) where Hoshino Kei is being held.

 * You hear a faint voice in the back of your mind. It sounds female, and really tired.
 * "Hello? I can feel your presence, faintly.  I can't move.  The Undead brought me up to this tower.  They carried me through some large castle, and into a Great Hall.  The last thing I remember passing before they opened the portal to this tower was a throne of some kind.  Please help me, You're my only hope."

When you use the Attunement Essence Gem at the statue behind the Throne
