A ritualistic sidebar

It looks like Radiant Historia's Standard History has been set to rights. Except for whatever the game's final boss battle entails. My guess is that the timelines will either reconverge on that battle, or there will be some sort of simultaneous, dual timeline fight involved.

Currently, though, what's immediately up next is another run into Granorg, under the protection of an Etherion stone. This is a magical item passed down through the Granorgite royal family, and is a creation of the same empire that started the strange world-saving ritual that Stocke and co. are helping Eruca perform.

As a sidebar, this ritual involves sacrificing one member of the royal family and then reviving them temporarily with half of the soul of another member of the family. Things remain this way until the two souls involved have matured and then the two are returned to their respective bodies. The displacement of souls somehow balances mana and keeps the world's desertification in check. Pretty crazy, eh?

Needless to say, the ending of this game is going to be epic, and there can't be much of the Alternate Timeline left to play through.
