The symbol is what makes him have the vision. It's the rune for the Old One thats existence is going to be central to my upcoming character Jack, his friends, as well Arden's story. I have her unmodified lore posted on Jeiel's message board, and after I fix it up I'll have it on my blog.

As to the goal, it would be a depressing scene showing Jorge that no matter what he does he's lost. Should he actually make it through this trial alive or not won't stop the things to come, and he'll continue to lose people he cares for whether he's there or not. Arden could then offer Jorge a choice. Jorge can forsake everything else in exchange for Nezon's safety and help Arden release this blight (whichArden assures he will direct at the Maou as he wants her gone as well), or he can push on and try to have his cake and eat it too, risking it all for his own conscience in the now.
