>The entity phases into nothing, and you suddenly feel yourself being jerked forward. You continue moving until a peculiar object in the distance comes into view. It looks like a large, decaying ruin floating in the void.
>"THAT STRUCTURE IS NOT NATURAL HERE." says the disembodied voice, "WITHIN IT LIES WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE THE ULTIMATE IMBALANCE. AS SOON AS WE DISCOVERED ITS INTENTIONS, WE ATTACKED IT, CRIPPLED IT, BUT IT ACTIVATED SOME KIND OF BARRIER THAT REPELS US AND OUR AGENTS BEFORE WE COULD DESTROY IT... WE WERE ORIGINALLY GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THE BARRIER COULD NO LONGER SUSTAIN ITSELF, BUT YOU HAVE PRESENTED US AN OPPORTUNITY TO DESTROY IT NOW. YOU COULD BYPASS THE BARRIER AND DESTROY THE IMBALANCE WITHIN... DO SO, AND WE WILL POSTPONE OUR JUDGEMENT."

YOU MUST PHYSICALLY COME HERE IN ORDER TO PERFORM THIS TASK. ...THE RIFT LEFT BY OUR PREVIOUS ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE IMBALANCE WILL FULLY HEAL IN TWO HOURS. YOU HAVE UNTIL THEN TO DESTROY THE IMBALANCE WITHIN THAT STRUCTURE. COME ALONE. BRING NOBODY ELSE."
>You feel yourself being jerked backwards, and everything seems to fade to black...

>QUEST ADDED:
>The Nightmare Effect
>>The eldritch being from Genmukai still won't leave you or your shrine alone. You need to remedy this! Only then will your quest truly be over.

>You awaken on the bed with a jolt.
>"Hey, take it easy." You hear Eirin's voice say, "Are you alright?"
>You notice Kogasa, Mima, Koishi, and Ruukoto at the foot of the bed, all staring at you with concern. Eirin is to your left.

>You fly towards the Moriya Shrine.
>After a while, you eventually reach the bottom of Youkai Mountain, you are over the Genbu Marsh now. The rift is still hanging there, but it's noticeably smaller than before. Constructs are still scattered left and right, but they seem to be much less aggressive, and are beginning to disperse in small aggregations.
>You begin to ascend the mountain. After a few minutes, you reach the Moriya Shrine. The haphazardly built Igloo seems to have collapsed inward on itself, and fairies from both sides are currently digging their comrades out of the rubble and carrying them to the original Igloo. There's no sign of either of the leader fairies.

>Behind you, surrounding the rift, is the surface of what appears to be a massive sphere. Like you saw when you were returning to Gensokyo with Mima.
