Nine's Secret

Nine's Secret is a Versal quest started by Milo.

Part of The Versal storyline and A Plea from Versal: see every quest in order.

Requirements

Offer: Psst! Nine goes to the old Umbra Temple every night. Will says it's off limits and full of Darklings, but I've never seen a single Darkling come out of there. Weird, right?
And Nine's the only knight who stopped taking Will's medicine. That scares me more than the temple does. Under it is the Shadow Temple, with a statue of a lady holding out her hands. That's where Nine's footprints stop.
Could you go and take a look? If Will is up to something, the answer's down there. Me? I'm going to dinner. I wonder what's for dinner tonight... Anyway, I didn't see you leave!
In progress: The Shadow Temple is under the Umbra Temple. Find the statue where Nine's footprints end. The Temporal Gate at the Nexus can take you there.
Completion: (There are no Darklings here, only dust and a stone lady with open hands. A name is carved at her feet, backwards. Glona. Under it, it says she died defending the Antellion.)
(Behind the statue, wrapped in old web, a little girl is sleeping. A faint gold light glows in and out of her, like a tiny sun.)
(Fresh footprints circle her again and again. Nine isn't hiding a secret down here. He's guarding her.)
(A rolled-up scroll lies at the statue's feet, glowing faintly through the paper. Whatever Nine reads here every night, you want to read it too.)
