After defeating the [[Reptites]], Crono and his party witness Lavos arriving at the planet. It quickly buries itself underneath the surface, and leaves behind a time gate which Crono and his party travel through. It brings them to the year 12,000 BC, a time when humans are divided between magic yielding [[Enlightened Ones]] and the cast away [[Earthbound Ones]]. The Earthbound Ones live on the surface of the planet, which is covered by a never ending winter which was caused when Lavos struck the planet. Crono and company find the Kingdom of Zeal, home to the Enlightened Ones, a floating paradise above the clouds. When they arrive at the Queen's Palace, they are identified as a threat by the "Prophet", who is Magus in disguise. Magus was sent back here during his encounter with Crono's team in his lair, and became a Prophet to the people of Zeal due to his knowledge of future events. Crono and his party are defeated by Queen Zeal and Dalton, and held prisoner in the palace. Schala frees them, but before they can get far the Prophet forces Crono and his friends back through the time gate, and has Schala seal it behind them. | After defeating the [[Reptite|Reptites]], Crono and his party witness Lavos arriving at the planet.

Woe]], and that the denizens of Zeal draw their magic directly from Lavos using the [[Mammon Machine]]. | ||
=== 2nd Visit === | |||
After acquiring the [[Epoch]], Crono and his friends rescue Melchior from Mt. Woe and meet with [[Schala]] and the [[Earthbound Ones]] in a cave on the surface. Melchior devises a way to destroy the Mammon Machine using a [[Ruby Knife]]. The cave is attacked by Dalton's force and Schala is taken to the [[Ocean Palace]]. Crono and his party battle their way through the Ocean Palace until they reach the Mammon Machine's chamber. Queen Zeal is using Schala to draw untold amounts of energy from Lavos, which causes the beast to awaken. Magus reveals himself, and attempts to kill Lavos but is easily defeated. Crono is killed by Lavos when he steps in front of the beam to save his friends. Lavos then proceeds to destroy the Ocean Palace and fires beams of energy into the sky, destroying the Kingdom of Zeal and sending it crashing down to the surface. The impact causes a massive tidal wave which floods most of the planet's surface. Schala teleports Magus and the remainder of Crono's team to safety, her own fate unknown until [[Chrono Cross]]. | |||
While the survivors regroup on the surface, [[Dalton]] flies in with the [[Blackbird]] and declares himself the new "King" of Zeal. He steals the [[Epoch]] and takes Crono's friends prisoner. They escape, destroy the [[Blackbird]], and send Dalton through a time gate. At this point, the player confronts Magus back on the surface, and can choose to either kill him or take him in as a party member. If he joins, he will reveal a way to bring Crono back to life. | |||
Eventually, the remainder of the Ocean Palace rises into the sky as the [[Black Omen]]. Queen Zeal is still alive inside, bound to Lavos, and possibly immortal. The Enlightened Ones who survived the destruction of Zeal no longer have magical powers and now live amongst the Earthbound Ones. The destruction of Zeal also caused the blizzard that covered the planet to end, and the surface dwellers would go on to form the various kingdoms of the [[Middle Ages]]. | |||
The player can choose to revisit 12,000 BC at this point, but other than the time gate cave, the [[Black Omen]], and [[Sun Temple]] of this era there is nothing left as most of the world is underwater. | |||
