===Hunting the Intoners=== | |||
After his awakening, Baltas acquired a [[faerie (Baltas)|faerie]] companion and became an enforcer for the [[landed lords]]. In May 998, he was sent out to hunt down the [[Intoners]] after they killed Lord [[Beis]] of the [[Land of Sands]].{{Bookref|U5|Volume 1, Chapter 4}} He fought Intoner [[One]] and a nearby [[Gabriella|dragon]] who got dragged into the conflict. One eventually managed to best him using a dragon fang while she was possessed by her [[Power of Song]].{{Bookref|U5|Volume 1, Chapter 5}} | |||
Despite this, Baltas was able to regenerate his body, emerging from the carnage as a young boy. This forced One and her new dragon friend to flee.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 1, Chapter 5}} | |||
===Return to Cathedral City=== | |||
One month later, on June 6, 998, Baltas arrived in the Cathedral City as requested by Lord [[Gray]] of the [[Land of Mountains]].{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 6}} He was then handed some [[Old World language|Old World writing]] by Lady Cerulea, who instructed him to read it while interacting with Mercury's Door. When Baltas followed her instructions, a panel near the door opened up, where a projection of the woman known as [[Accord]] appeared. The projection informed him that his voice data was incorrect, after which he was promptly teleported away.{{Bookref|U5|Volume 2, Chapter 7}} | |||
===Final showdown=== | |||
One and Baltas would go on to have one final confrontation in December 998.{{Videoref|Nier10th}}{{Videoref|Nier10th|NieR Chronology Review}} The exact outcome of this confrontation is unknown, but it is believed that One emerged victorious. | |||
