This is bad news... really bad news. I am hearing from all sides that the power of the Black Mage is gaining by the day. Can't you hear the spirits of this world collectively crying out for help? The Empress is in need of your help! What do you think? Do you want to help our Empress?

Okay, now out of all the dropped items from the monsters, I want you to find the #torn piece from the Book of Cygnus#k. This piece contains a mysterious power that produces some effects when it's individually placed, but when the 20 pieces come together, you'll be able to read a message from Cygnus that details her beliefs. Gather up 20 pieces, then use them in your 'use' inventory. You don't need to bring it back to me.

If you've gathered all 20 of them, then go ahead and use it. Wait, you don't even have those 20 pieces!
