Within the cave, Kasel encounters Pavel, the ice sorcerer who once became an ally to King Kyle. Frey, Roi, and Cleo break through the ice wall created by Pavel and meet up with Kasel. Pavel reveals that he had put Kasel's friends through a test because he wanted to see how much they were willing to do to help Kasel and now, he is willing to explain his history with King Kyle. Long ago, Kyle came to Pavel's cave to request his aid against the Dark Lord and Pavel reluctantly agreed. After Kyle disappeared in his battle with the Dark Lord, Pavel and Dominicus, against the protests of Lorraine, enacted a secret plan to protect Arlette, Kyle's wife, and her unborn child. Using his ice magic, Pavel placed Arlette and the unborn Kasel in suspended animation and awakened them a hundred years later. Although Pavel regrets not finding a better way to ensure the survival of Kyle's bloodline, Kasel does not regret the life he has lived and declares he will continue Kyle's work. With the night of the Dark Lord's return fast approaching, Pavel brings Kasel's group to the World Tree, the holiest place in the planet, so they can awaken the Holy Sword Eia. Meanwhile, Malduk and Maria begin their ritual to summon the Dark Lord back into the realm of the living, only to find that their spell has summoned Kyle instead. (Source: Wikipedia)
