▪ The protagonist arrives at the area, looking for the Mirage Palace.
▪ When at the location, the palace is not there, mysteriously disappeared from the eyes and touch.
▪ Then, a sandstorm approaches the area, forcing the protagonist to search for a safe place, entering the Temple. When inside, he awaits close to the door, forcing his body against it in a hope the storm doesn’t get inside.
▪ When the storm seems to be over, the character sees a god’s ray entering the temple from the center of the main hall towards the wall right above him. This light indirectly illuminates the whole area.
▪ The player has Input Enabled again
