## Summary

I remember the day when the Blackstar fell at Star's End.
That was probably the only day when the Mysterious Workshop was closed.
Wind was blowing real fierce, too.
And pieces of the Blackstar flew and landed all the way here in the capital.
However, as soon as they hit the cold floor of the city, the pieces vanished.
Later, Boltz, Scott and I temporarily closed the workshop
and headed to Star's End, but soldiers stopped us in our tracks.
They claimed that Heidel had spread a plague in that region.
Seriously, they expected us to believe that?
We'd already seen the truth with our own eyes. Hahaha!
Here, take this. Felt a little guilty to take
the all of the Remnants of the Rift you found to get it appraised.
I carved off a small fragment.
It still retains the faint energy of the Blackstar.
