Echoes of the Past is particularly high in Aether concentrations compared to other regions, and eerie phenomena often occur as a result. While investigating such phenomena, we discovered a plant that appears to be immortal. It blooms colorful flowers before turning back into a seed, then it grows and blooms again.
If we can understand and apply this plant's interaction with Aether to the Tower of Eternity fragments, perhaps we can find a way to grow a new Aetheric Field.
Personally, I find the phenomenon unnatural and disturbing, but we must study it. When you have a chance to visit Echoes of the Past, please gather as many [%dic:STR_DIC_I_quest_25526a]s as possible.
As an Eternity Flower repeatedly blooms over a long period of time, you could say that it's a symbol of eternal youth and immortality.
Perhaps it can help us understand how to restore the Aetheric Field.
Is this an Eternity Flower?
May I take a look at it for a moment?
This isn't the right sample. Can anything else possibly go wrong?
Please focus on the mission.
Is this an Eternity Flower?
I see... I can sense a mysterious aura around it. May I take a look?
It looks mysterious and beautiful, but there's also something chilling about it.
We shall begin our research at once.

Retrieve an Eternity Flower Sample and take it to Brynja.
Brynja told you about a plant affected by Aether that blooms gorgeously and then regresses over time back to a seed. Understanding how it works might help restore the Aetheric Field.
When you took an Eternity Flower Sample to her, she thanked you and said you inspired her.
