Story
Template:Spoilers After they are able to destroy the boulder blocking the path to Canaan with Cid's airship, the Warriors of Light head to the town.
There they meet Mrs. Cid, who is bedridden. The Warriors of Light use an Elixir to heal her sickness, and Cid thanks them by letting them take the treasure on his basement.
After healing Ms. Cid, the Warriors of Light find Salina, a heartbroken girl who saw her relation with Desch broken. This man also holds the last Mini spell from Canaan. For this reason, they head to Dragon's Peak as to find him.
After obtaining the Wheel of Time in Castle Argus, Cid is able to turn the Enterprise into an airship, and also tells the Warriors of Light about their origin. Ten years before the current events, Cid was transporting passengers, his Airship was engulfed by darkness and crashed. Then he found the Warriors of Light and had them to be raised in the nearby towns.
Later, Cid warns the Warriors of Light via Mognet that he has found a monster in his basement, and asks them to defeat it. After killing the Aeon, they find the Orichalcum, a rare ore that they had gained knowledge of thanks to the Legendary Smith. Template:Endspoilers
