 The game 's final scenario and the reason for Ghaleon 's actions differ slightly from the original , with the Goddess Althena 's instability serving as the catalyst for the events rather than a rampaging Black Dragon . In this version , Laike relates the story of how one day fifteen years ago , the Goddess Althena concluded that people were depending too much on her , rather than growing as people and as a civilization , and that by continuing to mother them , she was doing more harm than good . Despite Ghaleon 's pleas , Dyne and Althena used their powers to spread her life force throughout the world , transforming her into an infant , to live out a mortal life as a human . Ghaleon , believing humanity could not survive without a god watching over them , cut off all ties to his former friend and set his plan into motion to ascend to godhood himself in Althena 's place ; his cause set on rule rather than revenge as in the original . Believing that humanity was strong and resourceful enough to live on their own , Dyne left the young girl in the care of Alex 's parents to raise her as their own daughter before he began his new life as a traveling adventurer . Now knowing the truth of Luna 's origins , Alex and his friends travel to the Goddess tower to save her and stop Ghaleon from seizing control of the world . Defeating his generals , Alex confronts Ghaleon at the tower 's upper pagoda , where the ritual to transfer Luna 's power to him has already begun . Echoing Dyne 's earlier declaration on the strength of humanity , Alex 's team attacks and defeats Ghaleon as his fortress crumbles around them . With Luna still caught in a trance , Alex attempts to reason with her to leave while the others are teleported to safety . Playing his ocarina , Alex awakens Luna 's memories before the two are transported to the surface as the tower collapses , re @-@ uniting with their companions .
