(The ocean current feels different, as if they are returning to normal.
Could that creature have caused this?
Was it the god of the Protties?
You feel as if you should return to Calpheon City and tell Arteedman about what you saw.)

Arteedman Completion

The two groups, the ancients weapons and the Protties... in the end it sounds like all they both wanted to protect their ocean.
Yet in doing so, they eventually brought imbalance to the ocean.
Ah, your tale, it is incredible!
To think that you were able to do what you did,
perhaps that creature, the god of the Protties, brought you to me!
Thanks to you, we have discovered two entirely new beings: the marine ancient weapons and the Protties.
Since we determined that they are not naturally hostile, hopefully they will be allowed to live in peace.
Our findings will surely be recorded in the annals of history.
Here, I have something for you, Adventurer.
These are objects I found while I was conducting my own investigation while you were busy exploring the underwater ruins.
I originally intended to use them for research but to thank you I will give you one of them.
It makes me sad to think that your adventure together is over...
Well then, Adventurer, I must return to my research.
Good luck on your future adventures, and your path ahead be lit with light.
