WHEN YOU SUMMON THE SPIRIT, WHATSITSNAME, YOU NEED AN ITEM THE SPIRIT FEELS AFFINITY FOR.
BUT, IF YOU DON'T ACT QUICKLY, THE DEMON ARMY WILL KILL YOU, AND STEAL THE ITEM.
DID YOU FIND THE EARTHEN BOWL?THE MAYOR OF RUNVAIL MUST HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.
I HEAR THE OLD MAN WHO LIVES IN THE SHRINE AT THE CAPE USED TO BE AN IMPORTANT MAN.
ONE VERY FOGGY DAY, I SAW THE GENTLEMAN RING A CHIME BENEATH A LARGE TREE ON THE CAPE.
AFTER HE RANG THE CHIME, THE ROUGH SEAS CALMED DOWN UNTIL THE WATERS WERE STILL.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!
DO YOU SEE THAT ISLAND IN THE SOUTH SHROUDED IN PITCH BLACK CLOUDS?
THAT's THE ISLE OF VIOSDIA. VELONESE IS SUPPOSED TO LIVE IN AVISIS CASTLE ON THAT ISLAND.
I WOULDN'T GO NEAR THAT PLACE IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE.
DANDALEA IS SUPPOSED TO BE HIDING NEAR HIS FAVORITE TREE.
WHERE IS THAT TREE? I THINK IT's SOMEPLACE NEAR RUNVAIL.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE DANDALEA's FAVORITE TREE. IT MUST BE SOMETHING TO BEHOLD.
YOU WANT TO GO TO VIOSDIA? I WOULDN'T IF I WERE YOU.
NO ONE COMES BACK FROM THAT ISLAND ALIVE.
----------
PARADIS
----------
DANDALEA, THE GREAT EARTH SPIRIT, IS SAID TO BE HIDING SOMEWHERE IN THESE LANDS.
SHEENA IS SEARCHING FOR THE SPIRIT BECAUSE SHE HATES THE POWER OF THE EARTH.
IN FACT, SHE ALMOST KILLED A MAYOR WHO SHE THOUGHT KNEW THE SPIRIT'S HIDING PLACE.
HAVE YOU FOUND THE EARTH SPIRIT YET? I HOPE SHEENA DOESN'T BEAT YOU TO IT.
FIVE YEARS AGO, MY WIFE LOST HER LIFE BECAUSE OF A TERRIBLE INJURY.
LUCKILY, OUR TOWN PRIEST KNEW A GREAT HEALER WHO LIVED NOT TOO FAR AWAY.
THE HEALER CAME BY AND BROUGHT MY WIFE BACK TO LIFE. HE EXPLAINED THE MAGIC TO ME.
HE SAID HE DID IT BY GIVING MY STRENGTH TO MY WIFE TO RESTORE HER WILL TO LIVE.
HOW IS THE PRIEST? MY WIFE AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO THANK HIM.
YOU SAY HE IS TRAVELING? I SEE...WHAT A SHAME.
SAY, DID YOU HEAR? THE MAYOR IN THE CITY OF TEYDON IS A BIT STRANGE...
HE STAYS COOPED UP IN HIS HOUSE DAY AFTER DAY. HE ALMOST NEVER GOES OUT.
I BELIEVE HE'S CONDUCTING SOME KIND OF EXPERIMENT. I WONDER WHAT HE'S UP TO?
THE MAYOR IN THE CITY OF TEYDON IS A BIT STRANGE...
I BELIEVE HE'S CONDUCTING SOME KIND OF EXPERIMENT. I WONDER WHAT HE'S UP TO?
WELCOME. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
SO, YOU'VE MET OUR MAYOR IN THE HOME OF THE SHARKTAN. PLEASE LET ME HELP YOU.
GIVE THESE FLYING GARMENTS TO THE WARRIOR WITH THE STRONGEST BODY AND TRUEST SOUL.
BY WEARING THESE, HE WILL BE ABLE TO RIDE THE NOBLE AND HOLY BEAST, W' HORSE.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE THE FLYING GARMENTS.
MAY SABRINA PROTECT YOU...
PLEASE DEFEAT VELONESE AND BRING PEACE BACK TO OUR WORLD.
THERE IS SAID TO BE A REMARKABLE TREE NEAR RUNVAIL WHICH IS DEAR TO THE EARTH SPIRIT DANDALEA.
HOWEVER, AFTER VELONESE BEGAN HIS EVIL DEEDS, DANDALEA HID HIMSELF AWAY.
REMEMBER, ONLY A MASTER WIZARD CAN ASK DANDALEA FOR HELP.
THERE IS A PRIEST IN THE VILLAGE OF KALUA WHO KNOWS A SPELL TO BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE.
BECAUSE OF HIS DEEP CONVICTIONS, HE WON'T TEACH THE SPELL OF REBIRTH TO ANYONE.
HE SAID IT WAS THE GOD'S WORK TO GIVE AND TAKE LIFE, AND PEOPLE HAD NO BUSINESS PLAYING GOD.
HOWEVER, IN YOUR BATTLES AGAINST VELONESE, SOMEONE AMONG YOU IS BOUND TO LOSE HIS LIFE.
WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIM TO LEND YOU HIS HELP? JUST MENTION MY NAME TO HIM.
I SEE... SO HE HAS DECIDED TO STOP USING THE SPELL.
THE MAYOR OF TEYDON SIGNED A PACT WITH THE MASTER OF THE REALM OF THE DEAD.
THEY PLAN ON SACRIFICING GOATS TO BRING BACK THE SOULS OF THE DEAD.
ONLY A GOD SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO GIVE AND TAKE LIFE...
DO YOU KNOW THE SPELL TO REVIVE THE DEAD? REALLY? WELL, I HOPE YOU DON'T ABUSE THAT POWER.
IT SEEMS THAT YOU HAVE TOO MANY BELONGINGS. I WILL GIVE YOU THE GARMENT WHEN YOU HAVE ROOM.
----------
QUENTIN (town)
----------
IF YOUR RULER IS AT A CASTLE, IT's POSSIBLE TO ADD NEW MEMBERS TO YOUR ARMY.
SELECT AN OPEN SPACE NEXT TO THE RULER's CAMP, AND HIRE PEOPLE OR SUMMON MONSTERS.
REMEMBER, YOU'LL NEED MONEY TO HIRE PEOPLE AND SPELLS TO CONTROL MONSTERS.
AND YOU'LL NEED TO PAY SALARIES TO YOUR MERCERNARIES, SO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR TREASURY.
HUH? HOW CAN I HELP YOU? LADY DIANNA AND LADY MARIE? HMMM...
I REMEMBER AFTER THE TRAGEDY, DIANNA VOWED SHE WOULD STRIKE DOWN VELONESE.
MARIE, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, TRIED TO STOP HER.
I SUPPOSE DIANNA WENT AFTER VELONESE. I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED NO LESS FROM HER.
MARIE MAY BE IN GRAVE DANGER IF SHE's WITH DIANNA. SHE NEVER SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF ALONE.
DO I KNOW A SWORDSMAN NAMED DAVID? LET's SEE... DAVID...DAVID...
WELL, THERE WAS THIS WARRIOR WHO STORMED OUT OF TOWN NOT LONG AGO.
HE HEADED EAST, AND HE LOOKED VERY DETERMINED, AS IF SOME INNER DEMON WERE PURSUING HIM.
I SUPPOSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR DAVID.
I EAGERLY AWAIT THE DAY THAT PEACE RETURNS TO OUR COUNTRY. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK.
THE CITY OF TOBIS, ON LITTLE ALGAIN ISLAND WAS ATTACKED BY THE DEMON ARMY RECENTLY.
I HEAR THAT MANY WERE KILLED. WHOLE FAMILIES FELL TO THE EVIL MONSTERS. HOW HORRIBLE...
I'VE HEARD OF A MIGHTY VAMPIRE HUNTER WHO FIGHTS MONSTERS ACROSS THE INSENIOR SEA.
THE HOLY ARMY WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT ON THEIR SIDE.
YOUR MAJESTY, THERE IS A MOST EXCELLENT WARRIOR NAMED ANDREW EAST OF THE INSENIOR SEA.
I THINK YOU WILL FIND HIM MOST WORTHY OF JOINING YOU AND YOUR MOST EXCELLENT ARMY.
SO, YOU'RE THE GREAT VAMPIRE HUNTER ANDREW? YOU LOOK KIND A YOUNG FOR ALL THAT.
WELCOME TO OUR APOTHECARY. WE HANDLE A VARIETY OF MEDICINES.
IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT HERE, TRY OTHER TOWNS. THEY MIGHT HAVE WHAT YOU NEED.
AHH...LADY DIANNA AND LADY MARIE... THEY MUST STILL BE GRIEVING OVER LADY CHELSEA...
I UNDERSTAND THEY WENT BACK HOME. THOSE POOR WOMEN... MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM.
PLEASE BRING BACK LIGHT TO CHESHIRE AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
MASTER KAIL? ...HE WENT SEARCHING FOR DAVID, THE MASTER SWORDSMAN.
MASTER KAIL SAID WE NEED THE STRENGTH OF DAVID IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST THE DEMON ARMY...
...AND HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO TIME TO LOSE. HE DEPARTED HASTILY, AND ALONE.
THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE OUR WORLD IS THE MONARCH. I BELIEVE WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS.
LEGEND SAYS THAT THE DARK SWORD, TRAEGER, RESTS IN A CHURCH SOMEWHERE.
THE SWORD IS POWERFULLY TIED TO THE FORCES OF EVIL.
THAT's WHY THE THUGS FROM THE DEMON ARMY ARE LOOKING FOR IT. I SURE HOPE THEY DON'T FIND IT.
AN EVIL SWORD... IT MAKES ME SHIVER JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
SUSAN HAS GONE TO THE ISLAND OF ALGAIN TO SEEK AN OLD FRIEND NAMED ANDREW.
THAT ANDREW FELLOW IS SUPPOSED TO BE VERY GOOD WITH HIS SILVER SWORD.
OH! SO YOU'RE THE GREAT VAMPIRE HUNTER ANDREW.
I CAN TELL FROM JUST LOOKING AT YOU WHY SUSAN SPEAKS SO HIGHLY OF YOU.
HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANDREW?
ARLIMAN, THE DARK LORD, WAS STRUCK DOWN BY THE LEGENDARY DRAGON RIDER VIAN.
ARLIMAN's EVIL WAS LOCKED AWAY INSIDE THE JEWEL OF DARKNESS.
THE JEWEL WAS GIVEN TO GILLIAM, THE GRAND WIZARD, WHO WAS TO PROTECT IT.
VELONESE WAS GILLIAM's APPRENTICE, AND GILLIAM SET HIM TO GUARDING THE JEWEL FOREVER.
IMPRISONED ON THE ISLAND OF RAVEN, VELONESE GREW IN POWER AND EVIL.
EVENTUALLY, HE CREATED THE DEMON ARMY, AND SENT THEM TO PLAGUE THE LAND OF CHESHIRE.
---------
RIBIF
---------
LADY DIANNA LED THE ATTACK AGAINST THE DEMON ARMY IN A BATTLE NOT LONG AGO.
WE FOLLOWED HER CHARGE WITH ALL OUR MIGHT...BUT ALAS, THE BATTLE BECAME A MELEE.
LADY DIANNA WAS SEPERATED FROM HER ELITE GUARD, AND WE LOST SIGHT OF HER FOR SOME TIME.
WHEN WE FINALLY REACHED HER, SHE WAS AFFLICTED WITH AN ANCIENT CURSE CAST BY THE DEMON ARMY.
LADY DIANNA'S BEEN SAVED?!
THIS IS JOYOUS NEWS!!
THIS IS THE CITY OF RIBIF. IF YOU GO SOUTH, YOU'LL REACH CHESHIRE CASTLE IN NO TIME.
DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS? WELL, THIS HAPPENED WHEN ARACNA ATTACKED THE CITY OF TALISLAR.
THE MIGHTY SWORDSMAN DAVID WAS TURNED INTO STONE. YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT TOO.
NOW, THERE'S SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE! A TOAST FOR THE RETURN OF THE GREAT DAVID!
GLUB...GLUB...GLUB...HIC! BOY, THAT HITS THE SPOT.
DID YOU KNOW THERE'S A REALLY GOOD-LOOKING SWORDSMAN IN THE CITY OF ENHAS!
I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO MEET HIM.
DO YOU KNOW OF THE SWORDSMAN FROM THE CITY OF ENHAS? YES, I THINK HIS NAME WAS ANDREW.
YOU CERTAINLY SEEM TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT HIM.
AHEM...UMMMM...ANDREW? UMM...AHEM...WELL, UHH...IIGHH...HI...
YOU'RE WITH THE SOVEREIGN'S ARMY, RIGHT?
I HEARD THEY'RE ALL FAMOUS FOR BEING CHEAPSKATES. IS THAT TRUE?
ANDREW SEEMS TO HAVE GONE SOMEWHERE. I WONDER IF HE'LL VISIT RIBIF.
OH, WELCOME. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
NORTHEAST OF HERE IS SILKA FOREST.
WAY SOUTH FROM HERE IS EURESKA WOODS.
AND LOMSAIRE FOREST IS TO THE EAST.
WE CALL THESE THE THREE GREAT FORESTS OF CHESHIRE...OR AT LEAST I DO.
($F9)DIANNA IS LYING DOWN.
($F9)DO YOU WISH TO USE THE EXORCISM CRYSTAL?
YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAVED ME? TH...THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
I JUST HAD TO AVENGE CHELSEA. MY VENGEANCE HAS CAUSED TROUBLE FOR EVERYONE...
MY LORD, I BEG YOU... PLEASE ALLOW ME TO JOIN YOUR FORCES AGAINST THE DEMON ARMY!
($F9)WILL YOU ADD DIANNA TO YOUR PARTY?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BY THE WAY, DO YOU KNOW WHERE MARIE IS?
...I SEE...I'M WORRIED ABOUT HER...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHAT? MARIE IS WITH YOU? PRAISE SABRINA...YOU'RE SAFE.
PLEASE, MY LORD, I BEG OF YOU TO ALLOW ME TO JOIN.
IT IS THE LEAST I CAN DO TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE TROUBLE I'VE CAUSED YOU.
MARIE! YOU'RE SAFE! I'M SORRY. I MADE YOU WORRY BECAUSE OF MY STUBBORNNESS...
WHAT? YOU'RE NOW PART OF THE KING'S GROUP?
HIS LORDSHIP WAS SO CONCERNED FOR ME THAT HE BROUGHT YOU HERE TO HELP?
...I SEE. I'VE MADE A DECISION, MARIE. I WANT TO FIGHT BESIDE THE KING!
($F9)WILL YOU ADD DIANNA TO YOUR PARTY?
THANK YOU.
I MUST HELP THE KING BRING PEACE BACK TO THESE LANDS AND AVENGE CHELSEA.
I HAVE CAUSED SO MUCH TROUBLE FOR BOTH YOU AND HIS MAJESTY. PLEASE, ALLOW ME TO MAKE AMENDS!
THANK YOU FOR RESCUING ME. AND YOU ARE...?
OH! YOU'RE WITH THE QUENTIN ARMY? ...I SEE.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE KING WAS SO CONCERNED ABOUT ME...
PLEASE, I BEG YOU! PLEASE ALLOW ME TO JOIN YOU! I WANT TO FIGHT BESIDE YOU.
($F9)WILL YOU ADD DIANNA TO YOUR PARTY?
THANK YOU. UM...DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF MARIE?
...OH, I SEE. I WONDER WHERE SHE IS...
THANK YOU. WHAT?...OH! MARIE IS WITH HIS MAJESTY'S GROUP?
OH, SHE'S SAFE...I'M SO GLAD!
I'VE CAUSED EVERYONE TROUBLE. PLEASE ALLOW ME TO MAKE AMENDS. I WANT TO GO WITH YOU.
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SUCH A POWERFUL CURSE WAS BROKEN...
THE EXORCISM CRYSTAL MUST BE POWERFUL, INDEED.
CHESHIRE CASTLE, THAT YOU SEE SOUTH OF THIS CITY, IS THE GREATEST CASTLE IN THE WORLD.
NONE CAN MATCH IT FOR SIZE OR BEAUTY.
ARACNA WAS BORN OUT OF AN UNHOLY UNION WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LAND.
THAT IS ITS STRENGTH, AS WELL AS ITS WEAKNESS.
---------
RIDLEY
---------
I'VE HEARD THAT IN SILKA FOREST, RIGHT IN THE CENTER, THERE'S A VERY STRANGE SPOT.
THEY SAY IF YOU WALK STRAIGHT INTO THAT SPOT, YOU'LL COME OUT AGAIN AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE.
SINCE ARACNA'S TROOPS SHOWED UP, ALL OF THE GAME IN THE SOUTH FOREST HAS DIED OR RUN AWAY.
BY THE WAY, WHEN I WENT HUNTING NOT LONG AGO, I STUMBLED UPON AN ELF IN THE SOUTH FOREST.
WHEN THE ELF NOTICED ME, HE IMMEDIATELY BOLTED OFF INTO THE TREES.
I TRIED TO FOLLOW HIM, BUT I LOST HIM IN THE TREES.
THE OLD LORD WAS A GREEDY, WORTHLESS MAN! STILL, I LIKED HIM BETTER THAN ARACNA.
ELVEN MAGIC? IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE ELVES CAME INTO THE CITY.
NO ONE'S SEEN AN ELF IN THE CITY SINCE BEFORE THE WAR.
YOU WANT TO HEAR THE STORY OF HOW RIDLEY CASTLE FELL? DON'T WORRY, IT'S A SHORT TALE.
ONE DAY, HORDES OF ARACNA'S EVIL TROOPS APPEARED AT THE CASTLE. WE HAD NO WARNING AT ALL.
THEY CAME LIKE THE FALL OF NIGHT, AND TOOK OVER THE WHOLE REGION.
YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ELVES, EH? SURE, I CAN TELL YOU.
THIS WAS LONG BEFORE ARACNA CAME TO OUR LANDS, BUT EVEN THEN, WE HAD PLENTY OF TROUBLES.
THE LORD OF RIDLEY CASTLE WAS A GREEDY, VICIOUS MAN. HE CARED ONLY FOR HIS OWN GAIN.
HE WAS ALWAYS FOND OF ELVEN WORKMANSHIP, AND COLLECTED ALL THE ELVEN ITEMS HE COULD FIND.
ONE DAY, HIS GREED OVERCAME HIM, AND HE MOUNTED AN ATTACK UPON AN ELVEN VILLAGE.
MANY INNOCENT ELVES WERE SLAUGHTERED THAT DAY, AND ALL FOR HIS PETTY GAINS.
SINCE THAT DAY, THE ELVES HAVE NEVER SHOWN THEMSELVES TO PEOPLE AGAIN. CAN YOU BLAME THEM?
THEY SAY THERE IS AN ELVEN VILLAGE HIDDEN SOMEWHERE DEEP IN THE FOREST.
IF THERE IS, THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T WELCOME ANY HUMANS WHO STUMBLED UPON IT.
WE CALL THE LARGE FOREST JUST SOUTH OF HERE "SILKA FOREST".

RUSSELL
---------
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ANCIENT CURSE THAT THE DEMON ARMY USES?
IT MAKES ME SHIVER JUST TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
ALL OF YOUR SENSES BECOME USELESS, AND YOU BECOME PARALYZED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED THE LEGENDARY EXORCISM CRYSTAL TO UNDO THE CURSE.
I WISH I COULD TELL YOU WHERE IT WAS.
YOU FOUND THE EXORCISM CRYSTAL! I DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE IT EXISTED.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PINE TREES AROUND HERE, SO WE USE THEIR ROOTS TO GET OIL FOR OUR LAMPS.
MOST OF IT GETS USED UP BY THE TOWNSPEOPLE, SO IT'S NOT SOLD IN STORES.
AHHH... I LOVE LIVING BY THE BEACH...
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE EXORCISM CRYSTAL?
IT'S THE PRIDE AND JOY OF THE OLD FORTUNETELLER WOMAN IN ENHAS.
SHE USES THE CRYSTAL TO READ THE FUTURE, AND SHE'S ALMOST NEVER WRONG.
ALL THE OTHER FORTUNETELLERS ARE MAD AT HER, BECAUSE SHE'S TAKING ALL THEIR BUSINESS.
THE OLD LADY OVER IN ENHAS HAS QUIT TELLING FORTUNES.
I GUESS SHE COULDN'T COMPETE AGAINST A REAL PRO.
HEY, HOW YA DOIN' BUDDY? GET YOURSELF A DRINK...AND ONE FOR ME TOO WHILE YOU'RE UP!
ANDREW? HE'S PROBABLY OVER IN THE PINE FOREST NORTH OF HERE.
HE'S DIGGING ROOTS TO GET OIL.
WHAT YOU SEE EAST OF HERE IS THE GRACILDO MOUNTAIN RANGES.
THERE'S A FOREST TO THE NORTH AND A DESERT TO THE SOUTH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS.
THE CLIMATE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM HERE.
WELCOME! MY MASTER IS OUT ON A BUSINESS TRIP.
CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING INSTEAD?
UM, MY MASTER IZAM? HE'S GONE TO ENHAS TO TREAT SOME SICK AND WOUNDED PEOPLE.
OH NO! DAVID'S BEEN TURNED TO STONE?!! WELL,IZAM CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT!
ENHAS IS SOUTHEAST OF HERE. LOOK FOR HIM THERE.
PICTURE THIS: YOU'RE RIDING INTO BATTLE, AND OUT JUMPS A HORRIBLE MONSTER.
HE CUTS YOU LIKE A RIB ROAST, AND YOU BARELY MANAGE TO KILL HIM.
TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, YOUR PRIEST IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND! WHAT'LL YOU DO NOW?
IF YOU HAD SOME OF OUR TRUSTY MEDICINE, YOU'D BE BETTER IN NO TIME!
THERE'S SOMEONE AT THE ALCHEMIST HERE BY THE NAME OF IZAM.
HE'S WELL VERSED IN MAGIC.
IZAM HAS SUCH A KIND HEART. HE CAN'T SIT AROUND IF HE KNOWS THERE ARE INJURED PEOPLE AROUND.
THE TOWN OF ENHAS WAS ATTACKED NOT LONG AGO, SO HE MIGHT'VE GONE THERE.
IZAM IS TRULY A MAGNIFICENT HEALER. HE EVEN MAKES HOUSECALLS.
ARE YOU FROM QUENTIN? ARE YOU WITH THE HOLY ARMY?
I'M GLAD YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT EVIL AND ALL, BUT DON'T START ANY TROUBLE AROUND HERE.
YOU WANT PINE OIL? WELL, I SUPPOSE I COULD LET SOME GO, FOR A NOMINAL FEE...
IT'S A SPECIALTY OF THIS TOWN, YOU KNOW.
IF YOU WANT IT SO MUCH, I'LL SELL IT TO YOU FOR 1000G. HOW ABOUT IT?
ALL RIGHT, ONE MOMENT.
YOU NOW HAVE PINE OIL.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO POINT THAT SWORD AT ME! HOW ABOUT 500G?
OUCH! 250G?
OK, OK, HOW ABOUT THIS, A ONE TIME ONLY FREE TRIAL OFFER, ONLY TO THE BRAVE HOLY ARMY.
BUT MAN, YOU'RE A CHEAP-O. YOU'LL NEVER MAKE ANY FRIENDS LIKE THAT.
YOU NOW HAVE PINE OIL.
YOU AGAIN? I DON'T NEED NO CHEAPSKATES LIKE YOU AROUND!
AH, YOU'RE FROM THE HOLY ARMY, RIGHT? THANKS FOR YOUR PATRONAGE THE OTHER DAY.
COME BY ANY TIME!!
ANDREW? YEAH, HE CAME BY HERE. HE WANTED PINE OIL, BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY.
HE'S PROBABLY GONE OFF TO THE PINE FOREST BEHIND THIS TOWN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THOUGH.
OH, YOU AGAIN? I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH MISERS LIKE YOU.
AH, YOU'RE FROM THE HOLY ARMY, RIGHT? I HOPE YOU'LL DO WELL TODAY.
HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY. WHAT, DID YOU FORGET HOW TO COUNT?
SORRY, BUT I DON'T SERVE MORONS, ESPECIALLY BROKE MORONS.
YOU WANT PINE OIL? NO, NO, I CAN'T GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE.
IT'S A SPECIALTY OF THIS TOWN.
ANYWAY, YOU CAN'T CARRY ANY MORE STUFF.
YOU KNOW, GREED'S NO GOOD FOR YOU...BUT IT IS FOR ME! HA HA HA HA!
YOU'RE WITH THE HOLY ARMY, RIGHT?
I'M GLAD YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT EVIL, BUT DON'T START ANY TROUBLE AROUND HERE.
IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A COMPASSIONATE HEART.
WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING EVIL, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO BECOME EVIL YOURSELF.
OH, ANDREW? I'M TEACHING HIM A LITTLE LESSON.
HE SEEMED TO BE ENJOYING KILLING MONSTERS TOO MUCH.
BESIDES, IF YOU'RE GOING TO KILL MONSTERS, YOU SHOULD DO IT FOR FREE, NOT LIKE A MERCERNARY.
THE CURSE ON THE SWORD? THE THING'S JUST GLUED ON. GIVE IT A MONTH, IT'LL COME OFF.
EH, YOU WANT TO ADD ANDREW TO THE HOLY ARMY? THAT'LL BE GOOD FOR HIM.
WITH YOUR GOOD EXAMPLE, I'M SURE HE'LL SEE THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS.
THE GLUE CAN BE TAKEN OFF WITH PINE OIL. THE VILLAGE MAYOR HAS SOME.
IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A COMPASSIONATE HEART.
WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING EVIL, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO BECOME EVIL YOURSELF.
I FEEL BAD I TRICKED HIM, BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER ENJOY KILLING, NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO DESTROY THE DEMON ARMY, BUT IT'S A NECESSARY EVIL IN ITSELF.
I'M SURE THAT SABRINA WILL NOT LOOK KINDLY ON THOSE WHO ENJOY THE MADNESS AND SLAUGHTER.

SAGE

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! I THOUGHT EVERYONE WAS GONE BY NOW.
THE VOLCANO HAS ERUPTED, AND LAVA WILL POUR THROUGH HERE ANY MOMENT!
THE VILLAGERS HAVE ALREADY EVACUATED. I'VE STAYED BEHIND, TO SEARCH FOR ANY STRAGGLERS.
THE POOR VILLAGERS' HOMES WILL ALL BE DESTROYED. IT'S DISASTROUS!
IF WE COULD ONLY REDIRECT THE LAVA OUT INTO THE OCEAN...
IF WE ONLY HAD THE STATUE OF VULCAN!
THANK YOU...THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR VILLAGE!! WE OWE YOU A TREMENDOUS DEBT OF GRATITUDE!!
IT'S NOT MUCH, BUT TAKE THIS RING. IF YOU WEAR IT, YOUR WOUNDS WILL HEAL.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE THE HEALING RING.
YOU ARE THE SAVIORS OF OUR TOWN. PLEASE, TAKE YOUR TIME AND REST AWHILE.
THE PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN WILL MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME.
I DIDN'T THINK I'D EVER SEE MY TAVERN AGAIN... I'M REALLY HAPPY!
I'M VERY BUSY RIGHT NOW. EVERYONE IN TOWN IS CELEBRATING OUR DELIVERANCE FROM THE LAVA.
RELAX AND GET YOURSELF A DRINK. I'LL COME BY LATER TO SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING.
EVERYONE'S SO BUSY REPAIRING THEIR HOMES THAT NO ONE HAS TIME TO BUY OUR FAMOUS TEA.
WILL YOU BUY SOME, PLEASE? I'LL GIVE YOU A REALLY GOOD PRICE.
I THOUGHT I WOULD LOSE EVERYTHING. BUT NOW, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO RETURN HOME AGAIN!
IT'S LIKE A DREAM.
THE GOD OF DARKNESS WHOM I WORSHIP WOULD HAVE SAVED THIS VILLAGE, EVEN WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
GO ON, PRAY TO YOUR WEAKLING GODDESS. MY GOD ANSWERS THE PRAYERS OF HIS FAITHFUL.
THANK YOU...THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR VILLAGE!! WE OWE YOU A TREMENDOUS DEBT OF GRATITUDE!!
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A GIFT AS PAYMENT, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU COULD CARRY IT.
COME BACK WHEN YOU HAVE A FREE HAND. THEN YOU WILL GET YOUR REWARD.
COME BACK WHEN YOU HAVE A FREE HAND. THEN YOU WILL GET YOUR REWARD.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. AS TOKEN OF OUR THANKS, PLEASE TAKE THIS.
THIS HEALING RING WILL RESTORE YOUR HEALTH IF YOU WEAR IT. PLEASE, PUT IT TO GOOD USE.

SAPPLE

IF YOU GO WEST A LITTLE WAYS, YOU'LL RUN INTO A PLACE CALLED CAPE WIND.
YOU'RE NEW HERE, RIGHT? WELL, LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE ADVICE.
YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST THE OWNERS OF THE ALCHEMIST. THEY SPEAK IN HALF-TRUTHS.
YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK CONFUSED. LET ME GIVE YOU A SMALL PIECE OF ADVICE.
IF YOU WANT SOMEONE'S HELP, KINDNESS WILL GET YOU FARTHER THAN THREATS.
STEP RIGHT UP, BEST MEDICINE IN TOWN. WHAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME? LET ME TELL YOU A SECRET.
SABRINA'S POWERS ARE CONTAINED IN THE JEWEL OF LIGHT. SOME POWER SEEPS OUT OF THE JEWEL.
MY GREAT GRANDFATHER ONCE SAW THE JEWEL, AND SWEPT UP SOME OF THE DIRT AND DUST AROUND IT.
WE PUT A LITTLE BIT IN EACH POWDER AND POTION WE SELL. BUT WE'RE RUNNING OUT.
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO EXPENSIVE. YOU BETTER BUY SOME NOW, BEFORE IT'S ALL GONE.
YOU'RE FROM THE HOLY ARMY? YOU MEAN ALL OUR LIVES DEPEND ON YOU? HMMM.
OH, A PACKAGE FROM EURESKA? AH, FROM THE OLD WOMAN. IT'S VERY KIND OF YOU TO BRING THIS TO ME.
LOOK, IT'S GOT WIND DROPS INSIDE. THAT'S STRANGE. LET ME READ THE LETTER.
IT SAYS I'M TO GIVE YOU THE WIND DROPS AS PAYMENT FOR DELIVERING THE LETTER.
IT SAYS SHE DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT THE WIND DROPS TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE DEMON ARMY.
HA, SHE SURE FOOLED THEM, EH? THANKS AGAIN FOR THE LETTER. HERE ARE THE WIND DROPS.
YOU NOW HAVE THE WIND DROPS.
ONLY ONE WHO IS WORTHY MAY USE SILPHIA'S POWERS. YOU MUST PROVE YOURSELF TO HER.
OF COURSE, THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE WORTHY ARE MAGES WITH A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN WIND SPELLS.
WE'VE HAD NEWS FROM EURESKA. GRANNY HAS DIED...
SHE PROBABLY KNEW SHE COULDN'T LAST UNTIL YOU RETURNED.

SHARKTAN
----------
THE LEGENDARY DRAGON RIDER VIAN IS THE HERO OF OUR CLAN, THE SHARKTAN.
WHEN I GROW UP, I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HIM.
WHEN VIAN DEFEATED ARLIMAN, HE HAD A SHINING SWORD. I WONDER WHERE THAT SWORD IS NOW.
YOU NEED THE LEGENDARY DRAGON RIDER VIAN'S SWORD? FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK THAT.
I'VE BEEN STUDYING THAT SWORD'S HISTORY FOR SOME TIME, AND STILL CAN'T DISCOVER WHERE IT RESIDES.
BUT YOU MIGHT TRY THE CITY OF WILLIS. THERE ARE GREAT WEAPONSMITHS IN WILLIS.
I'VE MEANT TO GO MYSELF, BUT IT'S JUST BEEN TOO DANGEROUS.
ANY WARRIOR MAY WIELD SLAYER, BUT ONLY DRAGON RIDERS CAN TAP ITS TRUE POWERS.
WE SELL ONLY THE BEST GOODS. THEY MAY BE A LITTLE EXPENSIVE, BUT THEY'RE WORTH THE PRICE.
WE'VE GOT ITEMS THAT ALLOW YOU TO CONTROL SAVAGE BEASTS, AND MAKE THEM DO YOUR BIDDING.
I'M THE MAYOR HERE. I HEAR YOU'RE GOING AFTER VELONESE.
IF YOU'RE COMMITTED TO STRIKING DOWN VELONESE, I'LL TEACH YOU ALL THE SECRETS OF OUR CLAN.
GO ON. GO TO OUR MAYOR'S MANSION.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, AN INVITATION? GO QUICKLY.
THE WORLD IS DEPENDING ON YOU. I WISH YOU LUCK.
WELCOME, YOUNG HEROES. THERE'S NO NEED TO EXPLAIN. I KNOW WHY YOU ARE HERE.
YOU MUST TRAVEL TO OUR FORMER HOMES, DRAGONIA, PARADIS, AND NAUTIA.
YOU WILL FIND ONE OF OUR CLANSMEN IN EACH OF THOSE TOWNS.
SHOW THEM THIS AMULET, AND I'M SURE THEY WILL BE WILLING TO AID YOUR STRUGGLE.
YOU NOW HAVE THE SHARKTAN TALISMAN.
SEEK OUT THE CITIES OF DRAGONIA, PARADIS, AND NAUTIA. DON'T FORGET.
WE CAN'T HELP YOU ANY MORE THAN THIS. THE REST IS ALL UP TO YOU.
YOU MUST TRAIN YOURSELF!
AHHH, WELCOME. DON'T SAY ANYTHING, I KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE.
MY, YOU LOOK SO YOUNG. I HAVE NOTHING TO TELL YOU, ONLY SOMETHING TO GIVE YOU.
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN'T CARRY IT. COME BACK LATER, AND I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.
AH, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE PREPARED THIS TIME. HERE, TAKE THIS.
THERE SHOULD BE ONE OF OUR CLANSMEN IN EACH OF OUR FORMER HOMES.
TRAVEL TO THE CITIES OF DRAGONIA, PARADIS, AND NAUTIA. SHOW THEM THIS TALISMAN.
YOU NOW HAVE THE SHARKTAN AMULET.

SHINOBI
----------
HEY...WHO ARE YOU? I BET YOU'RE ANOTHER SCUM BAG TRYING TO STEAL SHINOBI SECRETS.
WHAT? WHO ARE YOU? GEE, I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE ONE OF US.
A TRUE NINJA NEVER LOSES CONTROL OF HIS EMOTIONS. NEVER!
...NO...HIC...NEVER! M...MMMYYYYY...EEEEEMOTIONS... ARRRE...HIC!...UNDER CONTROL!!
YOU SHOULD NOT BUY THESE WEAPONS. THEY ARE FAR TOO DANGEROUS FOR AN AMATEUR.
AHH, I KNEW YOU WOULD BE BACK. YOU HAVE LEARNED WELL. CHOOSE ANY WEAPON BEFORE YOU.
ARE YOU ONE OF THE WARRIORS WHO TRAINED HERE? I SEE...THAT'S ODD.
WELCOME TO MY SHOP. IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU LIKE, FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ABOUT IT.
OH, BUT YOU MUST BE A MASTER. NO, DON'T BE MODEST, I CAN RECOGNIZE GENIUS WHEN I SEE IT.
YOU HAVE FOUND OUR SECRET HOME. CONGRATULATIONS. THERE ARE NOT MANY WHO COULD DO SO.
WHILE YOU ARE HERE, MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
YOU MAY BE WORTH TRAINING. YOUR SKILLS ARE FEW, BUT WITH TIME YOU MIGHT LEARN...
DO YOU WISH TO STAY HERE FOR A WHILE AND TRAIN IN THE ART OF NINJITSU?
($F9)DO YOU WANT TO TRAIN IN THE ART OF NINJITSU?
THAT'S TOO BAD. I DO NOT MAKE THIS OFFER TO EVERY PASSING WANDERER. A SHAME, INDEED.
YES! THEN, LET US BEGIN THE TRAINING. ARE YOU READY?
HOW IS MY FAVORITE APPRENTICE? GOOD, GOOD. WELL, GIVE HIM MY REGARDS IF YOU SEE HIM.
WAS YOUR TRAINING SUCCESSFUL? AHH, I SENSED THE STRENGTH WITHIN YOU.
ONE OF YOUR GROUP IS IN TRAINING. YOUR WAIT SHOULD NOT BE LONG.

SHIRSTER

IF ARLIMAN RETURNS, THE WORLD WILL BE COVERED IN DARKNESS. IF THAT HAPPENS, HOW WILL WE LIVE?
THEY SAY THAT EVIL PEOPLE AND BEASTS ROAM THE NIGHT. I'M SCARED!
YO MATEY! A GOOD DRINK WILL CURE YOUR FATIGUE IN NO TIME.
BUT A WORD OF ADVICE, FRIEND. TOO MUCH DRINKING AIN'T GOOD FOR YA HEALTH, KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING, WEAPONS, MEDICINE, YOU NAME IT, AT THE BEST PRICES IN TOWN.
IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHIN' YOU DON'T NEED, I'LL BUY IT FOR A GOOD PRICE. COME ON BY ANYTIME.
WHAT? DID I SEE LADY DIANNA's RETINUE? YES, AND A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN SHE IS, TOO.
I'M NOT SURE WHERE THEY WERE GOING, BUT THEY HEADED EAST OUT OF TOWN.
YOU SAY SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO RETURN HOME?
IT LOOKED TO ME AS IF GOING HOME WAS NOT ON THEIR AGENDA...I WONDER WHERE THEY WENT?
FOR THE SAKE OF THE FALLEN KING AND CHELSEA, OUR QUEEN, PLEASE BRING PEACE TO OUR COUNTRY SOON.
DAVID? NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM. WHAT, HE WENT OFF SOMEWHERE BY HIMSELF?
YOU'RE SAFE, MASTER DAVID. WHY DID YOU RUN OFF ALL ALONE? IT's DANGEROUS TO TRAVEL ALONE.
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE YOUNG SWORDSMAN WHO IS LOOKING FOR THE DARK SWORD TRAEGER?
I HEARD HIS NAME IS MARCUS.
SO, YOU'RE MARCUS, EH? WHY DOES A MASTER SWORDSMAN LIKE YOU NEED THE DARK SWORD?
IN THE DAYS TO COME, IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN HUMAN BEINGS TO WIN THE WAR.
ELVES, DWARVES, HOBBITS, EVEN MONSTERS MIGHT AID YOU. YOU'LL NEED ALL THE HELP YOU CAN GET!
IF YOU ARE EXHAUSTED FROM BATTLE, VISIT A CHURCH.
THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAL YOUR INJURIES, BUT I'M SURE THEY CAN HELP YOU SOMEHOW.
---------
SPRING
---------
I HEAR THE TOWN SQUARE IS HAUNTED BY A SPIRIT, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN IT.
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO EVER SEE IT ARE WARRIORS AND WEAPON DEALERS. IT'S NOT FAIR!
($F9)THERE IS A SPRING HERE. THE ($FC) FELL INTO THE SPRING.
HEEEEY, WHAT'S WRONG? YOU DROPPED SOMETHING IN THE SPRING?
TELL YOU WHAT. YOU WAIT HERE, HOLD MY SHOES, AND I'LL GO FIND IT FOR YOU.
IS THIS GOLDEN AXE YOURS?
HMM...I'LL GO LOOK AGAIN.
DID YOU DROP THIS SILVER AXE?
IT'S NOT YOURS? ALL RIGHT, LET ME TRY ONCE MORE. I KNOW I'LL FIND IT THIS TIME.
THE ONLY THING I FOUND WAS THIS DIRTY, STINKY ($FC). IS IT YOURS?
WERE YOU USING THIS AXE? WHOEVER MADE THIS AXE HAS THE DESIGN SENSE OF AN OX.
NO WAY! NO ONE USES AN AXE LIKE THIS ANYMORE!
HOW ABOUT IF I GIVE YOU BOTH THESE AXES, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THAT OLD THING ANYMORE.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE A GOLDEN AXE AND A SILVER AXE.
NO WAY! NO ONE USES AN AXE LIKE THIS ANYMORE!
I'LL GIVE YOU THIS GOLDEN AXE SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO USE.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE A GOLDEN AXE.
HERE. GIMME MY SHOES. NOW, GET OUT OF HERE. YOU'RE STINKING UP THE SPRING.
IS THAT SO? THAT'S FUNNY, ($66)CAUSE YOU SEEM LIKE KIND OF A BUM TO ME. WELL, HERE YOU GO.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE A GOLD PLATED AXE.
REAAAALLY? YOU KINDA SEEM LIKE A BUM TO ME. WELL, WHATEVER, HERE YOU GO!
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE A SILVER PLATED AXE.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE DOWN THERE. THIS IS YOURS, RIGHT?
WELL, I GUESS YOU COULD USE AN AXE LIKE THIS, BUT ISN'T IT KIND OF EMBARRASSING?
THIS REALLY ISN'T YOURS? WELL, I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE. WELL, BE SEEING YOU.
YOU'VE SEEN THE SPIRIT THAT LIVES AROUND HERE, RIGHT? I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT THING.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IT'LL START GIVING AWAY AXES LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW!
THE BAD THING IS, HE GETS ALL THE GOLD AND SILVER FOR THE AXES FROM PEOPLE'S HOUSES.
WE FOUND A WHOLE PILE OF STOLEN NECKLACES AND CUTLERY IN THE SPRING.
SOME OF US AREN'T GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE. THAT'S WHY I HAVE THIS PICK.
WE WANT TO EVICT THE LITTLE PEST, SO WE'RE GOING TO DAM UP THE SPRING.
RECENTLY, I'VE HEARD STORIES OF A SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN THE SPRING BY THE TOWN SQUARE.
FUNNY, THOUGH, SINCE IT SHOWED UP, SOMEBODY'S BEEN STEALING EVERYONE'S SILVERWARE.
HE HASN'T HIT ME, THOUGH. MY LOCKS ARE THE BEST IN TOWN.
IN FACT, BUSINESS HAS BEEN GOING UP. NOBODY HAS ANY PLATES TO EAT FROM, EXCEPT ME.
WHAT!! THAT SPIRIT STOLE MY PLATES AND SILVERWARE?! BUT, MY BUSINESS, MY CUSTOMERS!
I'VE GOT THE LUNCH RUSH IN HALF AN HOUR. I CAN'T HAVE THEM EATING OFF THE FLOOR!
OOH, WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH THAT UNDEAD, HE'S GONNA WISH HE WAS DEAD.
DON'T TELL ME YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SPIRIT. THE ONE BY THE SPRING...IN THE MARKETPLACE.
THE LITTLE KLEPTOMANIAC STEALS EVERYONE'S GOLD AND SILVER. DON'T ASK ME WHY HE WANTS IT.
WHAT? YOU WANT TO SEE HIM? WELL, YOU COULD GO HANG OUT BY THE SPRING.
HEAD DOWN THERE AROUND NOON. WHO KNOWS, YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY.
OHH, THAT SPIRIT REALLY BURNS ME UP! AND I USED TO THINK HE WAS CUTE!
FIRST, IT STEALS EVERYBODY'S GOLD, THEN IT GIVES AWAY FREE AXES TO EVERY BUM WHO WALKS BY.
IT ALMOST PUT ME OUT OF BUSINESS! NOT AN OUNCE OF GOLD LEFT IN THE WHOLE PLACE.
RECENTLY, AN UNEARTHLY SPIRIT APPEARED IN THE VILLAGE. I HOPE IT'S NOT EVIL.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR A STORY? I'LL TELL YOU AN OLD STORY THAT I KNOW. IT'S ABOUT WIZARDS.
A LONG TIME AGO, A YOUNG APPRENTICE WAS IMPRISONED ON AN ISLAND TO THE SOUTH.
HE HAD USED HIS MAGIC FOR EVIL, SO HIS MASTER LOCKED HIM UP.
THE WIZARD USED A MAGICAL DEVICE CALLED A FOG CHIME TO SUMMON A HIDEOUS MONSTER NAMED TAGON.
HE TIED THE APPRENTICE TO THE BEAST'S BACK, AND SENT HIM TO EXILE ON THE ISLAND.
THEY SAY TAGON STILL GUARDS THE ISLAND, AND EATS UP ANYONE WHO COMES NEAR IT.
THIS IS AN OLD STORY. IT'S FROM BACK WHEN THE SUN STILL SHONE AROUND HERE.
THERE WAS A TRAVELER WHO STAYED FOR A TIME IN THE TOWN MAYOR'S HOUSE.
HE PAID HIS WAY BY CASTING SMALL MAGICS FOR THE VILLAGERS. HE SEEMED LIKE A WANDERING PRIEST.
ONE DAY, THE MAYOR FOUND HIM PACKING HIS MEAGER BELONGINGS. ALL HE WOULD SAY WAS,
"IF I DON'T GO, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO DEFEAT HIM. THIS IS MY ETERNAL MISTAKE."
A RUMOR STARTED THAT HE WAS A POWERFUL WIZARD, HIDING AMONG US WHILE HE BUILT HIS STRENGTH.
FOR MONTHS, THE ONLY STORY YOU WOULD HEAR WOULD BE OF THE WIZARD.
OF COURSE, NOW ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS THAT SPIRIT DOWN BY THE SPRING.

SUNDREK

TWO LOVERS FROM EROS ASKED THE FORTUNE TELLER TO READ THEIR FUTURE TOGETHER.
THEY SWORE THEIR ETERNAL LOVE WHILE STANDING ON THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TOWN AND CASTLE.
THAT'S SO ROMANTIC. I DREAM ABOUT IT EVEN AT MY AGE.
MY BOYFRIEND IS A TROUBADOUR. HE SEEMS SO DEPRESSED LATELY. I WISH I COULD CHEER HIM UP...
I THINK THAT HE LOST SOMETHING VERY, VERY VALUABLE... WHAT COULD HE HAVE LOST?
SIGH... I DROPPED MY HARP INTO THE MOAT OF TARA CASTLE!
THE MUSIC FROM THAT HARP SOUNDED AS IF SOME MYSTIC POWER WAS SPEAKING TO MY SOUL.
A HARP LIKE THAT IS IRREPLACEABLE.
MY BOYFRIEND HAS GONE OFF TO FIND SOMETHING TO REPLACE THE MERMAID'S HARP.
HE SAID HE COULDN'T BEAR THE MISERY ANY LONGER... I HOPE HE FINDS WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR.
OUR FORTUNE TELLER IS THE ONLY ONE IN CHESHIRE WHO SPECIALIZES IN MATTERS OF THE HEART.
HE HELPED ME FIND MY HUSBAND.
OUR FORTUNE TELLER IS THE ONLY ONE IN CHESHIRE WHO SPECIALIZES IN MATTERS OF THE HEART.
HE HELPED ME FIND MY HUSBAND.
THE BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS THIS TOWN AND THE CASTLE HAS BEEN KNOWN AS A BRIDGE FOR MARRIAGE.
IT'S BEEN SAID THAT LOVERS WHO DECLARE THEIR LOVE ON THAT BRIDGE ALWAYS END UP MARRIED.
DURING TIMES OF PEACE, LOVERS COME FROM ALL AROUND TO VISIT THAT BRIDGE.
THEY REALLY LIVENED UP THE PLACE!
I SEE THAT YOU HAVE A SECRET LOVE THAT NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT.
IT REMAINS HIDDEN, NEVER TO BE SHOWN. ...IT MUST BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU.
HMMMM...I FEEL THE STIRRINGS OF A FAINT LOVE IN YOUR HEART. YOU WON'T EVEN ADMIT IT TO YOURSELF.
WHEN YOU HAVE RESOLVED YOUR OWN INNER TURMOILS, YOUR LOVE WILL COME TO FRUITION.
...THE OUTCOME...WHO KNOWS?
HMMMM...I SENSE THERE IS SOMEONE...SOMEONE FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD...SOMEONE YOU LOVE.
HOWEVER, A SAD CONCLUSION TO THIS LOVE AWAITS...
WHAT DO YOU WISH FOR ME TO DIVINE? WHAT YOU LOVE CANNOT POSSIBLY BE A PERSON.
VERY WELL, LET ME SEE... NO, NO...I SEE NOTHING.
BUT DO NOT FORGET, EVERYTHING IS IN THE HANDS OF SABRINA.
LOVE SHOULD NOT BE DECIDED BY APPEARANCES. IF YOU ARE STUCK ON THIS POINT, I PITY YOU.
IN MY DIVINATION, I SEE THAT TAKING THE INITIATIVE WILL BRING GOOD RESULTS.
I SEE THERE IS SOMEONE WHO IS CONNECTED TO YOU DEEPLY. THIS MAY BE WHO YOU SEEK.
HOWEVER, MY WORDS MEAN LITTLE. IN THE END, YOUR FUTURE IS DECIDED BY YOU.
THIS IS MOST FORTUITOUS. YOUR THOUGHTS WILL SURELY COME TO PASS.
THIS MUST BE THE WILL OF SABRINA.
LET ME SEE... WH...WHAT???!!!
I SEE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MARRY ME. THE SPIRITS HAVE SPOKEN. THIS MUST BE OUR DESTINY.
HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT, MY DARLING?

WHEN YOU SUMMON THE SPIRIT, WHATSITSNAME, YOU NEED AN ITEM THE SPIRIT FEELS AFFINITY FOR.
BUT, IF YOU DON'T ACT QUICKLY, THE DEMON ARMY WILL KILL YOU, AND STEAL THE ITEM.
DID YOU FIND THE EARTHEN BOWL?THE MAYOR OF RUNVAIL MUST HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.
I HEAR THE OLD MAN WHO LIVES IN THE SHRINE AT THE CAPE USED TO BE AN IMPORTANT MAN.
ONE VERY FOGGY DAY, I SAW THE GENTLEMAN RING A CHIME BENEATH A LARGE TREE ON THE CAPE.
AFTER HE RANG THE CHIME, THE ROUGH SEAS CALMED DOWN UNTIL THE WATERS WERE STILL.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!
DO YOU SEE THAT ISLAND IN THE SOUTH SHROUDED IN PITCH BLACK CLOUDS?
THAT's THE ISLE OF VIOSDIA. VELONESE IS SUPPOSED TO LIVE IN AVISIS CASTLE ON THAT ISLAND.
I WOULDN'T GO NEAR THAT PLACE IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE.
DANDALEA IS SUPPOSED TO BE HIDING NEAR HIS FAVORITE TREE.
WHERE IS THAT TREE? I THINK IT's SOMEPLACE NEAR RUNVAIL.
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE DANDALEA's FAVORITE TREE. IT MUST BE SOMETHING TO BEHOLD.
YOU WANT TO GO TO VIOSDIA? I WOULDN'T IF I WERE YOU.
NO ONE COMES BACK FROM THAT ISLAND ALIVE.
----------
PARADIS
----------
DANDALEA, THE GREAT EARTH SPIRIT, IS SAID TO BE HIDING SOMEWHERE IN THESE LANDS.
SHEENA IS SEARCHING FOR THE SPIRIT BECAUSE SHE HATES THE POWER OF THE EARTH.
IN FACT, SHE ALMOST KILLED A MAYOR WHO SHE THOUGHT KNEW THE SPIRIT'S HIDING PLACE.
HAVE YOU FOUND THE EARTH SPIRIT YET? I HOPE SHEENA DOESN'T BEAT YOU TO IT.
FIVE YEARS AGO, MY WIFE LOST HER LIFE BECAUSE OF A TERRIBLE INJURY.
LUCKILY, OUR TOWN PRIEST KNEW A GREAT HEALER WHO LIVED NOT TOO FAR AWAY.
THE HEALER CAME BY AND BROUGHT MY WIFE BACK TO LIFE. HE EXPLAINED THE MAGIC TO ME.
HE SAID HE DID IT BY GIVING MY STRENGTH TO MY WIFE TO RESTORE HER WILL TO LIVE.
HOW IS THE PRIEST? MY WIFE AND I WOULD LIKE TO GO THANK HIM.
YOU SAY HE IS TRAVELING? I SEE...WHAT A SHAME.
SAY, DID YOU HEAR? THE MAYOR IN THE CITY OF TEYDON IS A BIT STRANGE...
HE STAYS COOPED UP IN HIS HOUSE DAY AFTER DAY. HE ALMOST NEVER GOES OUT.
I BELIEVE HE'S CONDUCTING SOME KIND OF EXPERIMENT. I WONDER WHAT HE'S UP TO?
THE MAYOR IN THE CITY OF TEYDON IS A BIT STRANGE...
I BELIEVE HE'S CONDUCTING SOME KIND OF EXPERIMENT. I WONDER WHAT HE'S UP TO?
WELCOME. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
SO, YOU'VE MET OUR MAYOR IN THE HOME OF THE SHARKTAN. PLEASE LET ME HELP YOU.
GIVE THESE FLYING GARMENTS TO THE WARRIOR WITH THE STRONGEST BODY AND TRUEST SOUL.
BY WEARING THESE, HE WILL BE ABLE TO RIDE THE NOBLE AND HOLY BEAST, W' HORSE.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE THE FLYING GARMENTS.
MAY SABRINA PROTECT YOU...
PLEASE DEFEAT VELONESE AND BRING PEACE BACK TO OUR WORLD.
THERE IS SAID TO BE A REMARKABLE TREE NEAR RUNVAIL WHICH IS DEAR TO THE EARTH SPIRIT DANDALEA.
HOWEVER, AFTER VELONESE BEGAN HIS EVIL DEEDS, DANDALEA HID HIMSELF AWAY.
REMEMBER, ONLY A MASTER WIZARD CAN ASK DANDALEA FOR HELP.
THERE IS A PRIEST IN THE VILLAGE OF KALUA WHO KNOWS A SPELL TO BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE.
BECAUSE OF HIS DEEP CONVICTIONS, HE WON'T TEACH THE SPELL OF REBIRTH TO ANYONE.
HE SAID IT WAS THE GOD'S WORK TO GIVE AND TAKE LIFE, AND PEOPLE HAD NO BUSINESS PLAYING GOD.
HOWEVER, IN YOUR BATTLES AGAINST VELONESE, SOMEONE AMONG YOU IS BOUND TO LOSE HIS LIFE.
WHY DON'T YOU ASK HIM TO LEND YOU HIS HELP? JUST MENTION MY NAME TO HIM.
I SEE... SO HE HAS DECIDED TO STOP USING THE SPELL.
THE MAYOR OF TEYDON SIGNED A PACT WITH THE MASTER OF THE REALM OF THE DEAD.
THEY PLAN ON SACRIFICING GOATS TO BRING BACK THE SOULS OF THE DEAD.
ONLY A GOD SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO GIVE AND TAKE LIFE...
DO YOU KNOW THE SPELL TO REVIVE THE DEAD? REALLY? WELL, I HOPE YOU DON'T ABUSE THAT POWER.
IT SEEMS THAT YOU HAVE TOO MANY BELONGINGS. I WILL GIVE YOU THE GARMENT WHEN YOU HAVE ROOM.

QUENTIN (town)

IF YOUR RULER IS AT A CASTLE, IT's POSSIBLE TO ADD NEW MEMBERS TO YOUR ARMY.
SELECT AN OPEN SPACE NEXT TO THE RULER's CAMP, AND HIRE PEOPLE OR SUMMON MONSTERS.
REMEMBER, YOU'LL NEED MONEY TO HIRE PEOPLE AND SPELLS TO CONTROL MONSTERS.
AND YOU'LL NEED TO PAY SALARIES TO YOUR MERCERNARIES, SO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR TREASURY.
HUH? HOW CAN I HELP YOU? LADY DIANNA AND LADY MARIE? HMMM...
I REMEMBER AFTER THE TRAGEDY, DIANNA VOWED SHE WOULD STRIKE DOWN VELONESE.
MARIE, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, TRIED TO STOP HER.
I SUPPOSE DIANNA WENT AFTER VELONESE. I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED NO LESS FROM HER.
MARIE MAY BE IN GRAVE DANGER IF SHE's WITH DIANNA. SHE NEVER SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF ALONE.
DO I KNOW A SWORDSMAN NAMED DAVID? LET's SEE... DAVID...DAVID...
WELL, THERE WAS THIS WARRIOR WHO STORMED OUT OF TOWN NOT LONG AGO.
HE HEADED EAST, AND HE LOOKED VERY DETERMINED, AS IF SOME INNER DEMON WERE PURSUING HIM.
I SUPPOSE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN YOUR DAVID.
I EAGERLY AWAIT THE DAY THAT PEACE RETURNS TO OUR COUNTRY. I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK.
THE CITY OF TOBIS, ON LITTLE ALGAIN ISLAND WAS ATTACKED BY THE DEMON ARMY RECENTLY.
I HEAR THAT MANY WERE KILLED. WHOLE FAMILIES FELL TO THE EVIL MONSTERS. HOW HORRIBLE...
I'VE HEARD OF A MIGHTY VAMPIRE HUNTER WHO FIGHTS MONSTERS ACROSS THE INSENIOR SEA.
THE HOLY ARMY WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT ON THEIR SIDE.
YOUR MAJESTY, THERE IS A MOST EXCELLENT WARRIOR NAMED ANDREW EAST OF THE INSENIOR SEA.
I THINK YOU WILL FIND HIM MOST WORTHY OF JOINING YOU AND YOUR MOST EXCELLENT ARMY.
SO, YOU'RE THE GREAT VAMPIRE HUNTER ANDREW? YOU LOOK KIND A YOUNG FOR ALL THAT.
WELCOME TO OUR APOTHECARY. WE HANDLE A VARIETY OF MEDICINES.
IF YOU CAN'T FIND IT HERE, TRY OTHER TOWNS. THEY MIGHT HAVE WHAT YOU NEED.
AHH...LADY DIANNA AND LADY MARIE... THEY MUST STILL BE GRIEVING OVER LADY CHELSEA...
I UNDERSTAND THEY WENT BACK HOME. THOSE POOR WOMEN... MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM.
PLEASE BRING BACK LIGHT TO CHESHIRE AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
MASTER KAIL? ...HE WENT SEARCHING FOR DAVID, THE MASTER SWORDSMAN.
MASTER KAIL SAID WE NEED THE STRENGTH OF DAVID IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST THE DEMON ARMY...
...AND HE SAID THAT THERE WAS NO TIME TO LOSE. HE DEPARTED HASTILY, AND ALONE.
THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAVE OUR WORLD IS THE MONARCH. I BELIEVE WE WILL BE VICTORIOUS.
LEGEND SAYS THAT THE DARK SWORD, TRAEGER, RESTS IN A CHURCH SOMEWHERE.
THE SWORD IS POWERFULLY TIED TO THE FORCES OF EVIL.
THAT's WHY THE THUGS FROM THE DEMON ARMY ARE LOOKING FOR IT. I SURE HOPE THEY DON'T FIND IT.
AN EVIL SWORD... IT MAKES ME SHIVER JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
SUSAN HAS GONE TO THE ISLAND OF ALGAIN TO SEEK AN OLD FRIEND NAMED ANDREW.
THAT ANDREW FELLOW IS SUPPOSED TO BE VERY GOOD WITH HIS SILVER SWORD.
OH! SO YOU'RE THE GREAT VAMPIRE HUNTER ANDREW.
I CAN TELL FROM JUST LOOKING AT YOU WHY SUSAN SPEAKS SO HIGHLY OF YOU.
HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANDREW?
ARLIMAN, THE DARK LORD, WAS STRUCK DOWN BY THE LEGENDARY DRAGON RIDER VIAN.
ARLIMAN's EVIL WAS LOCKED AWAY INSIDE THE JEWEL OF DARKNESS.
THE JEWEL WAS GIVEN TO GILLIAM, THE GRAND WIZARD, WHO WAS TO PROTECT IT.
VELONESE WAS GILLIAM's APPRENTICE, AND GILLIAM SET HIM TO GUARDING THE JEWEL FOREVER.
IMPRISONED ON THE ISLAND OF RAVEN, VELONESE GREW IN POWER AND EVIL.
EVENTUALLY, HE CREATED THE DEMON ARMY, AND SENT THEM TO PLAGUE THE LAND OF CHESHIRE.

RIBIF
---------
LADY DIANNA LED THE ATTACK AGAINST THE DEMON ARMY IN A BATTLE NOT LONG AGO.
WE FOLLOWED HER CHARGE WITH ALL OUR MIGHT...BUT ALAS, THE BATTLE BECAME A MELEE.
LADY DIANNA WAS SEPERATED FROM HER ELITE GUARD, AND WE LOST SIGHT OF HER FOR SOME TIME.
WHEN WE FINALLY REACHED HER, SHE WAS AFFLICTED WITH AN ANCIENT CURSE CAST BY THE DEMON ARMY.
LADY DIANNA'S BEEN SAVED?!
THIS IS JOYOUS NEWS!!
THIS IS THE CITY OF RIBIF. IF YOU GO SOUTH, YOU'LL REACH CHESHIRE CASTLE IN NO TIME.
DID YOU HEAR THE NEWS? WELL, THIS HAPPENED WHEN ARACNA ATTACKED THE CITY OF TALISLAR.
THE MIGHTY SWORDSMAN DAVID WAS TURNED INTO STONE. YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT TOO.
NOW, THERE'S SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE! A TOAST FOR THE RETURN OF THE GREAT DAVID!
GLUB...GLUB...GLUB...HIC! BOY, THAT HITS THE SPOT.
DID YOU KNOW THERE'S A REALLY GOOD-LOOKING SWORDSMAN IN THE CITY OF ENHAS!
I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO MEET HIM.
DO YOU KNOW OF THE SWORDSMAN FROM THE CITY OF ENHAS? YES, I THINK HIS NAME WAS ANDREW.
YOU CERTAINLY SEEM TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT HIM.
AHEM...UMMMM...ANDREW? UMM...AHEM...WELL, UHH...IIGHH...HI...
YOU'RE WITH THE SOVEREIGN'S ARMY, RIGHT?
I HEARD THEY'RE ALL FAMOUS FOR BEING CHEAPSKATES. IS THAT TRUE?
ANDREW SEEMS TO HAVE GONE SOMEWHERE. I WONDER IF HE'LL VISIT RIBIF.
OH, WELCOME. MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
NORTHEAST OF HERE IS SILKA FOREST.
WAY SOUTH FROM HERE IS EURESKA WOODS.
AND LOMSAIRE FOREST IS TO THE EAST.
WE CALL THESE THE THREE GREAT FORESTS OF CHESHIRE...OR AT LEAST I DO.
($F9)DIANNA IS LYING DOWN.
($F9)DO YOU WISH TO USE THE EXORCISM CRYSTAL?
YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAVED ME? TH...THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
I JUST HAD TO AVENGE CHELSEA. MY VENGEANCE HAS CAUSED TROUBLE FOR EVERYONE...
MY LORD, I BEG YOU... PLEASE ALLOW ME TO JOIN YOUR FORCES AGAINST THE DEMON ARMY!
($F9)WILL YOU ADD DIANNA TO YOUR PARTY?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BY THE WAY, DO YOU KNOW WHERE MARIE IS?
...I SEE...I'M WORRIED ABOUT HER...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WHAT? MARIE IS WITH YOU? PRAISE SABRINA...YOU'RE SAFE.
PLEASE, MY LORD, I BEG OF YOU TO ALLOW ME TO JOIN.
IT IS THE LEAST I CAN DO TO MAKE AMENDS FOR THE TROUBLE I'VE CAUSED YOU.
MARIE! YOU'RE SAFE! I'M SORRY. I MADE YOU WORRY BECAUSE OF MY STUBBORNNESS...
WHAT? YOU'RE NOW PART OF THE KING'S GROUP?
HIS LORDSHIP WAS SO CONCERNED FOR ME THAT HE BROUGHT YOU HERE TO HELP?
...I SEE. I'VE MADE A DECISION, MARIE. I WANT TO FIGHT BESIDE THE KING!
($F9)WILL YOU ADD DIANNA TO YOUR PARTY?
THANK YOU.
I MUST HELP THE KING BRING PEACE BACK TO THESE LANDS AND AVENGE CHELSEA.
I HAVE CAUSED SO MUCH TROUBLE FOR BOTH YOU AND HIS MAJESTY. PLEASE, ALLOW ME TO MAKE AMENDS!
THANK YOU FOR RESCUING ME. AND YOU ARE...?
OH! YOU'RE WITH THE QUENTIN ARMY? ...I SEE.
I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE KING WAS SO CONCERNED ABOUT ME...
PLEASE, I BEG YOU! PLEASE ALLOW ME TO JOIN YOU! I WANT TO FIGHT BESIDE YOU.
($F9)WILL YOU ADD DIANNA TO YOUR PARTY?
THANK YOU. UM...DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE BY THE NAME OF MARIE?
...OH, I SEE. I WONDER WHERE SHE IS...
THANK YOU. WHAT?...OH! MARIE IS WITH HIS MAJESTY'S GROUP?
OH, SHE'S SAFE...I'M SO GLAD!
I'VE CAUSED EVERYONE TROUBLE. PLEASE ALLOW ME TO MAKE AMENDS. I WANT TO GO WITH YOU.
IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SUCH A POWERFUL CURSE WAS BROKEN...
THE EXORCISM CRYSTAL MUST BE POWERFUL, INDEED.
CHESHIRE CASTLE, THAT YOU SEE SOUTH OF THIS CITY, IS THE GREATEST CASTLE IN THE WORLD.
NONE CAN MATCH IT FOR SIZE OR BEAUTY.
ARACNA WAS BORN OUT OF AN UNHOLY UNION WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE LAND.
THAT IS ITS STRENGTH, AS WELL AS ITS WEAKNESS.
---------
RIDLEY
---------
I'VE HEARD THAT IN SILKA FOREST, RIGHT IN THE CENTER, THERE'S A VERY STRANGE SPOT.
THEY SAY IF YOU WALK STRAIGHT INTO THAT SPOT, YOU'LL COME OUT AGAIN AT THE EXACT SAME PLACE.
SINCE ARACNA'S TROOPS SHOWED UP, ALL OF THE GAME IN THE SOUTH FOREST HAS DIED OR RUN AWAY.
BY THE WAY, WHEN I WENT HUNTING NOT LONG AGO, I STUMBLED UPON AN ELF IN THE SOUTH FOREST.
WHEN THE ELF NOTICED ME, HE IMMEDIATELY BOLTED OFF INTO THE TREES.
I TRIED TO FOLLOW HIM, BUT I LOST HIM IN THE TREES.
THE OLD LORD WAS A GREEDY, WORTHLESS MAN! STILL, I LIKED HIM BETTER THAN ARACNA.
ELVEN MAGIC? IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE ELVES CAME INTO THE CITY.
NO ONE'S SEEN AN ELF IN THE CITY SINCE BEFORE THE WAR.
YOU WANT TO HEAR THE STORY OF HOW RIDLEY CASTLE FELL? DON'T WORRY, IT'S A SHORT TALE.
ONE DAY, HORDES OF ARACNA'S EVIL TROOPS APPEARED AT THE CASTLE. WE HAD NO WARNING AT ALL.
THEY CAME LIKE THE FALL OF NIGHT, AND TOOK OVER THE WHOLE REGION.
YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ELVES, EH? SURE, I CAN TELL YOU.
THIS WAS LONG BEFORE ARACNA CAME TO OUR LANDS, BUT EVEN THEN, WE HAD PLENTY OF TROUBLES.
THE LORD OF RIDLEY CASTLE WAS A GREEDY, VICIOUS MAN. HE CARED ONLY FOR HIS OWN GAIN.
HE WAS ALWAYS FOND OF ELVEN WORKMANSHIP, AND COLLECTED ALL THE ELVEN ITEMS HE COULD FIND.
ONE DAY, HIS GREED OVERCAME HIM, AND HE MOUNTED AN ATTACK UPON AN ELVEN VILLAGE.
MANY INNOCENT ELVES WERE SLAUGHTERED THAT DAY, AND ALL FOR HIS PETTY GAINS.
SINCE THAT DAY, THE ELVES HAVE NEVER SHOWN THEMSELVES TO PEOPLE AGAIN. CAN YOU BLAME THEM?
THEY SAY THERE IS AN ELVEN VILLAGE HIDDEN SOMEWHERE DEEP IN THE FOREST.
IF THERE IS, THEY PROBABLY WOULDN'T WELCOME ANY HUMANS WHO STUMBLED UPON IT.
WE CALL THE LARGE FOREST JUST SOUTH OF HERE "SILKA FOREST".

RUSSELL

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE ANCIENT CURSE THAT THE DEMON ARMY USES?
IT MAKES ME SHIVER JUST TO HEAR ABOUT IT.
ALL OF YOUR SENSES BECOME USELESS, AND YOU BECOME PARALYZED.
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED THE LEGENDARY EXORCISM CRYSTAL TO UNDO THE CURSE.
I WISH I COULD TELL YOU WHERE IT WAS.
YOU FOUND THE EXORCISM CRYSTAL! I DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE IT EXISTED.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PINE TREES AROUND HERE, SO WE USE THEIR ROOTS TO GET OIL FOR OUR LAMPS.
MOST OF IT GETS USED UP BY THE TOWNSPEOPLE, SO IT'S NOT SOLD IN STORES.
AHHH... I LOVE LIVING BY THE BEACH...
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE EXORCISM CRYSTAL?
IT'S THE PRIDE AND JOY OF THE OLD FORTUNETELLER WOMAN IN ENHAS.
SHE USES THE CRYSTAL TO READ THE FUTURE, AND SHE'S ALMOST NEVER WRONG.
ALL THE OTHER FORTUNETELLERS ARE MAD AT HER, BECAUSE SHE'S TAKING ALL THEIR BUSINESS.
THE OLD LADY OVER IN ENHAS HAS QUIT TELLING FORTUNES.
I GUESS SHE COULDN'T COMPETE AGAINST A REAL PRO.
HEY, HOW YA DOIN' BUDDY? GET YOURSELF A DRINK...AND ONE FOR ME TOO WHILE YOU'RE UP!
ANDREW? HE'S PROBABLY OVER IN THE PINE FOREST NORTH OF HERE.
HE'S DIGGING ROOTS TO GET OIL.
WHAT YOU SEE EAST OF HERE IS THE GRACILDO MOUNTAIN RANGES.
THERE'S A FOREST TO THE NORTH AND A DESERT TO THE SOUTH ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS.
THE CLIMATE IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM HERE.
WELCOME! MY MASTER IS OUT ON A BUSINESS TRIP.
CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING INSTEAD?
UM, MY MASTER IZAM? HE'S GONE TO ENHAS TO TREAT SOME SICK AND WOUNDED PEOPLE.
OH NO! DAVID'S BEEN TURNED TO STONE?!! WELL,IZAM CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT!
ENHAS IS SOUTHEAST OF HERE. LOOK FOR HIM THERE.
PICTURE THIS: YOU'RE RIDING INTO BATTLE, AND OUT JUMPS A HORRIBLE MONSTER.
HE CUTS YOU LIKE A RIB ROAST, AND YOU BARELY MANAGE TO KILL HIM.
TO MAKE THINGS WORSE, YOUR PRIEST IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND! WHAT'LL YOU DO NOW?
IF YOU HAD SOME OF OUR TRUSTY MEDICINE, YOU'D BE BETTER IN NO TIME!
THERE'S SOMEONE AT THE ALCHEMIST HERE BY THE NAME OF IZAM.
HE'S WELL VERSED IN MAGIC.
IZAM HAS SUCH A KIND HEART. HE CAN'T SIT AROUND IF HE KNOWS THERE ARE INJURED PEOPLE AROUND.
THE TOWN OF ENHAS WAS ATTACKED NOT LONG AGO, SO HE MIGHT'VE GONE THERE.
IZAM IS TRULY A MAGNIFICENT HEALER. HE EVEN MAKES HOUSECALLS.
ARE YOU FROM QUENTIN? ARE YOU WITH THE HOLY ARMY?
I'M GLAD YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT EVIL AND ALL, BUT DON'T START ANY TROUBLE AROUND HERE.
YOU WANT PINE OIL? WELL, I SUPPOSE I COULD LET SOME GO, FOR A NOMINAL FEE...
IT'S A SPECIALTY OF THIS TOWN, YOU KNOW.
IF YOU WANT IT SO MUCH, I'LL SELL IT TO YOU FOR 1000G. HOW ABOUT IT?
ALL RIGHT, ONE MOMENT.
YOU NOW HAVE PINE OIL.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO POINT THAT SWORD AT ME! HOW ABOUT 500G?
OUCH! 250G?
OK, OK, HOW ABOUT THIS, A ONE TIME ONLY FREE TRIAL OFFER, ONLY TO THE BRAVE HOLY ARMY.
BUT MAN, YOU'RE A CHEAP-O. YOU'LL NEVER MAKE ANY FRIENDS LIKE THAT.
YOU NOW HAVE PINE OIL.
YOU AGAIN? I DON'T NEED NO CHEAPSKATES LIKE YOU AROUND!
AH, YOU'RE FROM THE HOLY ARMY, RIGHT? THANKS FOR YOUR PATRONAGE THE OTHER DAY.
COME BY ANY TIME!!
ANDREW? YEAH, HE CAME BY HERE. HE WANTED PINE OIL, BUT HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY.
HE'S PROBABLY GONE OFF TO THE PINE FOREST BEHIND THIS TOWN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THOUGH.
OH, YOU AGAIN? I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH MISERS LIKE YOU.
AH, YOU'RE FROM THE HOLY ARMY, RIGHT? I HOPE YOU'LL DO WELL TODAY.
HEY, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY. WHAT, DID YOU FORGET HOW TO COUNT?
SORRY, BUT I DON'T SERVE MORONS, ESPECIALLY BROKE MORONS.
YOU WANT PINE OIL? NO, NO, I CAN'T GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE.
IT'S A SPECIALTY OF THIS TOWN.
ANYWAY, YOU CAN'T CARRY ANY MORE STUFF.
YOU KNOW, GREED'S NO GOOD FOR YOU...BUT IT IS FOR ME! HA HA HA HA!
YOU'RE WITH THE HOLY ARMY, RIGHT?
I'M GLAD YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT EVIL, BUT DON'T START ANY TROUBLE AROUND HERE.
IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A COMPASSIONATE HEART.
WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING EVIL, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO BECOME EVIL YOURSELF.
OH, ANDREW? I'M TEACHING HIM A LITTLE LESSON.
HE SEEMED TO BE ENJOYING KILLING MONSTERS TOO MUCH.
BESIDES, IF YOU'RE GOING TO KILL MONSTERS, YOU SHOULD DO IT FOR FREE, NOT LIKE A MERCERNARY.
THE CURSE ON THE SWORD? THE THING'S JUST GLUED ON. GIVE IT A MONTH, IT'LL COME OFF.
EH, YOU WANT TO ADD ANDREW TO THE HOLY ARMY? THAT'LL BE GOOD FOR HIM.
WITH YOUR GOOD EXAMPLE, I'M SURE HE'LL SEE THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS.
THE GLUE CAN BE TAKEN OFF WITH PINE OIL. THE VILLAGE MAYOR HAS SOME.
IT'S ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO HAVE A COMPASSIONATE HEART.
WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING EVIL, YOU MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO BECOME EVIL YOURSELF.
I FEEL BAD I TRICKED HIM, BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER ENJOY KILLING, NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO DESTROY THE DEMON ARMY, BUT IT'S A NECESSARY EVIL IN ITSELF.
I'M SURE THAT SABRINA WILL NOT LOOK KINDLY ON THOSE WHO ENJOY THE MADNESS AND SLAUGHTER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! I THOUGHT EVERYONE WAS GONE BY NOW.
THE VOLCANO HAS ERUPTED, AND LAVA WILL POUR THROUGH HERE ANY MOMENT!
THE VILLAGERS HAVE ALREADY EVACUATED. I'VE STAYED BEHIND, TO SEARCH FOR ANY STRAGGLERS.
THE POOR VILLAGERS' HOMES WILL ALL BE DESTROYED. IT'S DISASTROUS!
IF WE COULD ONLY REDIRECT THE LAVA OUT INTO THE OCEAN...
IF WE ONLY HAD THE STATUE OF VULCAN!
THANK YOU...THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR VILLAGE!! WE OWE YOU A TREMENDOUS DEBT OF GRATITUDE!!
IT'S NOT MUCH, BUT TAKE THIS RING. IF YOU WEAR IT, YOUR WOUNDS WILL HEAL.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE THE HEALING RING.
YOU ARE THE SAVIORS OF OUR TOWN. PLEASE, TAKE YOUR TIME AND REST AWHILE.
THE PEOPLE OF THIS TOWN WILL MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME.
I DIDN'T THINK I'D EVER SEE MY TAVERN AGAIN... I'M REALLY HAPPY!
I'M VERY BUSY RIGHT NOW. EVERYONE IN TOWN IS CELEBRATING OUR DELIVERANCE FROM THE LAVA.
RELAX AND GET YOURSELF A DRINK. I'LL COME BY LATER TO SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING.
EVERYONE'S SO BUSY REPAIRING THEIR HOMES THAT NO ONE HAS TIME TO BUY OUR FAMOUS TEA.
WILL YOU BUY SOME, PLEASE? I'LL GIVE YOU A REALLY GOOD PRICE.
I THOUGHT I WOULD LOSE EVERYTHING. BUT NOW, I'VE BEEN ABLE TO RETURN HOME AGAIN!
IT'S LIKE A DREAM.
THE GOD OF DARKNESS WHOM I WORSHIP WOULD HAVE SAVED THIS VILLAGE, EVEN WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
GO ON, PRAY TO YOUR WEAKLING GODDESS. MY GOD ANSWERS THE PRAYERS OF HIS FAITHFUL.
THANK YOU...THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR VILLAGE!! WE OWE YOU A TREMENDOUS DEBT OF GRATITUDE!!
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A GIFT AS PAYMENT, BUT I DON'T THINK YOU COULD CARRY IT.
COME BACK WHEN YOU HAVE A FREE HAND. THEN YOU WILL GET YOUR REWARD.
COME BACK WHEN YOU HAVE A FREE HAND. THEN YOU WILL GET YOUR REWARD.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. AS TOKEN OF OUR THANKS, PLEASE TAKE THIS.
THIS HEALING RING WILL RESTORE YOUR HEALTH IF YOU WEAR IT. PLEASE, PUT IT TO GOOD USE.

YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST THE OWNERS OF THE ALCHEMIST. THEY SPEAK IN HALF-TRUTHS.
YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK CONFUSED. LET ME GIVE YOU A SMALL PIECE OF ADVICE.
IF YOU WANT SOMEONE'S HELP, KINDNESS WILL GET YOU FARTHER THAN THREATS.
STEP RIGHT UP, BEST MEDICINE IN TOWN. WHAT YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME? LET ME TELL YOU A SECRET.
SABRINA'S POWERS ARE CONTAINED IN THE JEWEL OF LIGHT. SOME POWER SEEPS OUT OF THE JEWEL.
MY GREAT GRANDFATHER ONCE SAW THE JEWEL, AND SWEPT UP SOME OF THE DIRT AND DUST AROUND IT.
WE PUT A LITTLE BIT IN EACH POWDER AND POTION WE SELL. BUT WE'RE RUNNING OUT.
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO EXPENSIVE. YOU BETTER BUY SOME NOW, BEFORE IT'S ALL GONE.
YOU'RE FROM THE HOLY ARMY? YOU MEAN ALL OUR LIVES DEPEND ON YOU? HMMM.
OH, A PACKAGE FROM EURESKA? AH, FROM THE OLD WOMAN. IT'S VERY KIND OF YOU TO BRING THIS TO ME.
LOOK, IT'S GOT WIND DROPS INSIDE. THAT'S STRANGE. LET ME READ THE LETTER.
IT SAYS I'M TO GIVE YOU THE WIND DROPS AS PAYMENT FOR DELIVERING THE LETTER.
IT SAYS SHE DIDN'T TELL YOU ABOUT THE WIND DROPS TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE DEMON ARMY.
HA, SHE SURE FOOLED THEM, EH? THANKS AGAIN FOR THE LETTER. HERE ARE THE WIND DROPS.
YOU NOW HAVE THE WIND DROPS.
ONLY ONE WHO IS WORTHY MAY USE SILPHIA'S POWERS. YOU MUST PROVE YOURSELF TO HER.
OF COURSE, THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE WORTHY ARE MAGES WITH A LOT OF EXPERIENCE IN WIND SPELLS.
WE'VE HAD NEWS FROM EURESKA. GRANNY HAS DIED...
SHE PROBABLY KNEW SHE COULDN'T LAST UNTIL YOU RETURNED.

SHARKTAN

THE LEGENDARY DRAGON RIDER VIAN IS THE HERO OF OUR CLAN, THE SHARKTAN.
WHEN I GROW UP, I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HIM.
WHEN VIAN DEFEATED ARLIMAN, HE HAD A SHINING SWORD. I WONDER WHERE THAT SWORD IS NOW.
YOU NEED THE LEGENDARY DRAGON RIDER VIAN'S SWORD? FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK THAT.
I'VE BEEN STUDYING THAT SWORD'S HISTORY FOR SOME TIME, AND STILL CAN'T DISCOVER WHERE IT RESIDES.
BUT YOU MIGHT TRY THE CITY OF WILLIS. THERE ARE GREAT WEAPONSMITHS IN WILLIS.
I'VE MEANT TO GO MYSELF, BUT IT'S JUST BEEN TOO DANGEROUS.
ANY WARRIOR MAY WIELD SLAYER, BUT ONLY DRAGON RIDERS CAN TAP ITS TRUE POWERS.
WE SELL ONLY THE BEST GOODS. THEY MAY BE A LITTLE EXPENSIVE, BUT THEY'RE WORTH THE PRICE.
WE'VE GOT ITEMS THAT ALLOW YOU TO CONTROL SAVAGE BEASTS, AND MAKE THEM DO YOUR BIDDING.
I'M THE MAYOR HERE. I HEAR YOU'RE GOING AFTER VELONESE.
IF YOU'RE COMMITTED TO STRIKING DOWN VELONESE, I'LL TEACH YOU ALL THE SECRETS OF OUR CLAN.
GO ON. GO TO OUR MAYOR'S MANSION.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, AN INVITATION? GO QUICKLY.
THE WORLD IS DEPENDING ON YOU. I WISH YOU LUCK.
WELCOME, YOUNG HEROES. THERE'S NO NEED TO EXPLAIN. I KNOW WHY YOU ARE HERE.
YOU MUST TRAVEL TO OUR FORMER HOMES, DRAGONIA, PARADIS, AND NAUTIA.
YOU WILL FIND ONE OF OUR CLANSMEN IN EACH OF THOSE TOWNS.
SHOW THEM THIS AMULET, AND I'M SURE THEY WILL BE WILLING TO AID YOUR STRUGGLE.
YOU NOW HAVE THE SHARKTAN TALISMAN.
SEEK OUT THE CITIES OF DRAGONIA, PARADIS, AND NAUTIA. DON'T FORGET.
WE CAN'T HELP YOU ANY MORE THAN THIS. THE REST IS ALL UP TO YOU.
YOU MUST TRAIN YOURSELF!
AHHH, WELCOME. DON'T SAY ANYTHING, I KNOW WHY YOU'RE HERE.
MY, YOU LOOK SO YOUNG. I HAVE NOTHING TO TELL YOU, ONLY SOMETHING TO GIVE YOU.
UNFORTUNATELY, YOU CAN'T CARRY IT. COME BACK LATER, AND I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU.
AH, YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE PREPARED THIS TIME. HERE, TAKE THIS.
THERE SHOULD BE ONE OF OUR CLANSMEN IN EACH OF OUR FORMER HOMES.
TRAVEL TO THE CITIES OF DRAGONIA, PARADIS, AND NAUTIA. SHOW THEM THIS TALISMAN.
YOU NOW HAVE THE SHARKTAN AMULET.

SHINOBI
----------
HEY...WHO ARE YOU? I BET YOU'RE ANOTHER SCUM BAG TRYING TO STEAL SHINOBI SECRETS.
WHAT? WHO ARE YOU? GEE, I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE ONE OF US.
A TRUE NINJA NEVER LOSES CONTROL OF HIS EMOTIONS. NEVER!
...NO...HIC...NEVER! M...MMMYYYYY...EEEEEMOTIONS... ARRRE...HIC!...UNDER CONTROL!!
YOU SHOULD NOT BUY THESE WEAPONS. THEY ARE FAR TOO DANGEROUS FOR AN AMATEUR.
AHH, I KNEW YOU WOULD BE BACK. YOU HAVE LEARNED WELL. CHOOSE ANY WEAPON BEFORE YOU.
ARE YOU ONE OF THE WARRIORS WHO TRAINED HERE? I SEE...THAT'S ODD.
WELCOME TO MY SHOP. IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU LIKE, FEEL FREE TO ASK ME ABOUT IT.
OH, BUT YOU MUST BE A MASTER. NO, DON'T BE MODEST, I CAN RECOGNIZE GENIUS WHEN I SEE IT.
YOU HAVE FOUND OUR SECRET HOME. CONGRATULATIONS. THERE ARE NOT MANY WHO COULD DO SO.
WHILE YOU ARE HERE, MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME.
YOU MAY BE WORTH TRAINING. YOUR SKILLS ARE FEW, BUT WITH TIME YOU MIGHT LEARN...
DO YOU WISH TO STAY HERE FOR A WHILE AND TRAIN IN THE ART OF NINJITSU?
($F9)DO YOU WANT TO TRAIN IN THE ART OF NINJITSU?
THAT'S TOO BAD. I DO NOT MAKE THIS OFFER TO EVERY PASSING WANDERER. A SHAME, INDEED.
YES! THEN, LET US BEGIN THE TRAINING. ARE YOU READY?
HOW IS MY FAVORITE APPRENTICE? GOOD, GOOD. WELL, GIVE HIM MY REGARDS IF YOU SEE HIM.
WAS YOUR TRAINING SUCCESSFUL? AHH, I SENSED THE STRENGTH WITHIN YOU.
ONE OF YOUR GROUP IS IN TRAINING. YOUR WAIT SHOULD NOT BE LONG.

SHIRSTER
----------
IF ARLIMAN RETURNS, THE WORLD WILL BE COVERED IN DARKNESS. IF THAT HAPPENS, HOW WILL WE LIVE?
THEY SAY THAT EVIL PEOPLE AND BEASTS ROAM THE NIGHT. I'M SCARED!
YO MATEY! A GOOD DRINK WILL CURE YOUR FATIGUE IN NO TIME.
BUT A WORD OF ADVICE, FRIEND. TOO MUCH DRINKING AIN'T GOOD FOR YA HEALTH, KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
I'VE GOT EVERYTHING, WEAPONS, MEDICINE, YOU NAME IT, AT THE BEST PRICES IN TOWN.
IF YOU'VE GOT SOMETHIN' YOU DON'T NEED, I'LL BUY IT FOR A GOOD PRICE. COME ON BY ANYTIME.
WHAT? DID I SEE LADY DIANNA's RETINUE? YES, AND A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN SHE IS, TOO.
I'M NOT SURE WHERE THEY WERE GOING, BUT THEY HEADED EAST OUT OF TOWN.
YOU SAY SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO RETURN HOME?
IT LOOKED TO ME AS IF GOING HOME WAS NOT ON THEIR AGENDA...I WONDER WHERE THEY WENT?
FOR THE SAKE OF THE FALLEN KING AND CHELSEA, OUR QUEEN, PLEASE BRING PEACE TO OUR COUNTRY SOON.
DAVID? NO, I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM. WHAT, HE WENT OFF SOMEWHERE BY HIMSELF?
YOU'RE SAFE, MASTER DAVID. WHY DID YOU RUN OFF ALL ALONE? IT's DANGEROUS TO TRAVEL ALONE.
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE YOUNG SWORDSMAN WHO IS LOOKING FOR THE DARK SWORD TRAEGER?
I HEARD HIS NAME IS MARCUS.
SO, YOU'RE MARCUS, EH? WHY DOES A MASTER SWORDSMAN LIKE YOU NEED THE DARK SWORD?
IN THE DAYS TO COME, IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN HUMAN BEINGS TO WIN THE WAR.
ELVES, DWARVES, HOBBITS, EVEN MONSTERS MIGHT AID YOU. YOU'LL NEED ALL THE HELP YOU CAN GET!
IF YOU ARE EXHAUSTED FROM BATTLE, VISIT A CHURCH.
THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAL YOUR INJURIES, BUT I'M SURE THEY CAN HELP YOU SOMEHOW.
---------
SPRING
---------
I HEAR THE TOWN SQUARE IS HAUNTED BY A SPIRIT, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN IT.
THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO EVER SEE IT ARE WARRIORS AND WEAPON DEALERS. IT'S NOT FAIR!
($F9)THERE IS A SPRING HERE. THE ($FC) FELL INTO THE SPRING.
HEEEEY, WHAT'S WRONG? YOU DROPPED SOMETHING IN THE SPRING?
TELL YOU WHAT. YOU WAIT HERE, HOLD MY SHOES, AND I'LL GO FIND IT FOR YOU.
IS THIS GOLDEN AXE YOURS?
HMM...I'LL GO LOOK AGAIN.
DID YOU DROP THIS SILVER AXE?
IT'S NOT YOURS? ALL RIGHT, LET ME TRY ONCE MORE. I KNOW I'LL FIND IT THIS TIME.
THE ONLY THING I FOUND WAS THIS DIRTY, STINKY ($FC). IS IT YOURS?
WERE YOU USING THIS AXE? WHOEVER MADE THIS AXE HAS THE DESIGN SENSE OF AN OX.
NO WAY! NO ONE USES AN AXE LIKE THIS ANYMORE!
HOW ABOUT IF I GIVE YOU BOTH THESE AXES, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE THAT OLD THING ANYMORE.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE A GOLDEN AXE AND A SILVER AXE.
NO WAY! NO ONE USES AN AXE LIKE THIS ANYMORE!
I'LL GIVE YOU THIS GOLDEN AXE SO YOU HAVE SOMETHING BETTER TO USE.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE A GOLDEN AXE.
HERE. GIMME MY SHOES. NOW, GET OUT OF HERE. YOU'RE STINKING UP THE SPRING.
IS THAT SO? THAT'S FUNNY, ($66)CAUSE YOU SEEM LIKE KIND OF A BUM TO ME. WELL, HERE YOU GO.
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE A GOLD PLATED AXE.
REAAAALLY? YOU KINDA SEEM LIKE A BUM TO ME. WELL, WHATEVER, HERE YOU GO!
($F9)YOU NOW HAVE A SILVER PLATED AXE.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE DOWN THERE. THIS IS YOURS, RIGHT?
WELL, I GUESS YOU COULD USE AN AXE LIKE THIS, BUT ISN'T IT KIND OF EMBARRASSING?
THIS REALLY ISN'T YOURS? WELL, I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE. WELL, BE SEEING YOU.
YOU'VE SEEN THE SPIRIT THAT LIVES AROUND HERE, RIGHT? I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT THING.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IT'LL START GIVING AWAY AXES LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW!
THE BAD THING IS, HE GETS ALL THE GOLD AND SILVER FOR THE AXES FROM PEOPLE'S HOUSES.
WE FOUND A WHOLE PILE OF STOLEN NECKLACES AND CUTLERY IN THE SPRING.
SOME OF US AREN'T GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE. THAT'S WHY I HAVE THIS PICK.
WE WANT TO EVICT THE LITTLE PEST, SO WE'RE GOING TO DAM UP THE SPRING.
RECENTLY, I'VE HEARD STORIES OF A SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN THE SPRING BY THE TOWN SQUARE.
FUNNY, THOUGH, SINCE IT SHOWED UP, SOMEBODY'S BEEN STEALING EVERYONE'S SILVERWARE.
HE HASN'T HIT ME, THOUGH. MY LOCKS ARE THE BEST IN TOWN.
IN FACT, BUSINESS HAS BEEN GOING UP. NOBODY HAS ANY PLATES TO EAT FROM, EXCEPT ME.
WHAT!! THAT SPIRIT STOLE MY PLATES AND SILVERWARE?! BUT, MY BUSINESS, MY CUSTOMERS!
I'VE GOT THE LUNCH RUSH IN HALF AN HOUR. I CAN'T HAVE THEM EATING OFF THE FLOOR!
OOH, WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH THAT UNDEAD, HE'S GONNA WISH HE WAS DEAD.
DON'T TELL ME YOU HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SPIRIT. THE ONE BY THE SPRING...IN THE MARKETPLACE.
THE LITTLE KLEPTOMANIAC STEALS EVERYONE'S GOLD AND SILVER. DON'T ASK ME WHY HE WANTS IT.
WHAT? YOU WANT TO SEE HIM? WELL, YOU COULD GO HANG OUT BY THE SPRING.
HEAD DOWN THERE AROUND NOON. WHO KNOWS, YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY.
OHH, THAT SPIRIT REALLY BURNS ME UP! AND I USED TO THINK HE WAS CUTE!
FIRST, IT STEALS EVERYBODY'S GOLD, THEN IT GIVES AWAY FREE AXES TO EVERY BUM WHO WALKS BY.
IT ALMOST PUT ME OUT OF BUSINESS! NOT AN OUNCE OF GOLD LEFT IN THE WHOLE PLACE.
RECENTLY, AN UNEARTHLY SPIRIT APPEARED IN THE VILLAGE. I HOPE IT'S NOT EVIL.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR A STORY? I'LL TELL YOU AN OLD STORY THAT I KNOW. IT'S ABOUT WIZARDS.
A LONG TIME AGO, A YOUNG APPRENTICE WAS IMPRISONED ON AN ISLAND TO THE SOUTH.
HE HAD USED HIS MAGIC FOR EVIL, SO HIS MASTER LOCKED HIM UP.
THE WIZARD USED A MAGICAL DEVICE CALLED A FOG CHIME TO SUMMON A HIDEOUS MONSTER NAMED TAGON.
HE TIED THE APPRENTICE TO THE BEAST'S BACK, AND SENT HIM TO EXILE ON THE ISLAND.
THEY SAY TAGON STILL GUARDS THE ISLAND, AND EATS UP ANYONE WHO COMES NEAR IT.
THIS IS AN OLD STORY. IT'S FROM BACK WHEN THE SUN STILL SHONE AROUND HERE.
THERE WAS A TRAVELER WHO STAYED FOR A TIME IN THE TOWN MAYOR'S HOUSE.
HE PAID HIS WAY BY CASTING SMALL MAGICS FOR THE VILLAGERS. HE SEEMED LIKE A WANDERING PRIEST.
ONE DAY, THE MAYOR FOUND HIM PACKING HIS MEAGER BELONGINGS. ALL HE WOULD SAY WAS,
"IF I DON'T GO, NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO DEFEAT HIM. THIS IS MY ETERNAL MISTAKE."
A RUMOR STARTED THAT HE WAS A POWERFUL WIZARD, HIDING AMONG US WHILE HE BUILT HIS STRENGTH.
FOR MONTHS, THE ONLY STORY YOU WOULD HEAR WOULD BE OF THE WIZARD.
OF COURSE, NOW ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS THAT SPIRIT DOWN BY THE SPRING.

SUNDREK
------------
TWO LOVERS FROM EROS ASKED THE FORTUNE TELLER TO READ THEIR FUTURE TOGETHER.
THEY SWORE THEIR ETERNAL LOVE WHILE STANDING ON THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TOWN AND CASTLE.
THAT'S SO ROMANTIC. I DREAM ABOUT IT EVEN AT MY AGE.
MY BOYFRIEND IS A TROUBADOUR. HE SEEMS SO DEPRESSED LATELY. I WISH I COULD CHEER HIM UP...
I THINK THAT HE LOST SOMETHING VERY, VERY VALUABLE... WHAT COULD HE HAVE LOST?
SIGH... I DROPPED MY HARP INTO THE MOAT OF TARA CASTLE!
THE MUSIC FROM THAT HARP SOUNDED AS IF SOME MYSTIC POWER WAS SPEAKING TO MY SOUL.
A HARP LIKE THAT IS IRREPLACEABLE.
MY BOYFRIEND HAS GONE OFF TO FIND SOMETHING TO REPLACE THE MERMAID'S HARP.
HE SAID HE COULDN'T BEAR THE MISERY ANY LONGER... I HOPE HE FINDS WHAT HE'S LOOKING FOR.
OUR FORTUNE TELLER IS THE ONLY ONE IN CHESHIRE WHO SPECIALIZES IN MATTERS OF THE HEART.
HE HELPED ME FIND MY HUSBAND.
OUR FORTUNE TELLER IS THE ONLY ONE IN CHESHIRE WHO SPECIALIZES IN MATTERS OF THE HEART.
HE HELPED ME FIND MY HUSBAND.
THE BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS THIS TOWN AND THE CASTLE HAS BEEN KNOWN AS A BRIDGE FOR MARRIAGE.
IT'S BEEN SAID THAT LOVERS WHO DECLARE THEIR LOVE ON THAT BRIDGE ALWAYS END UP MARRIED.
DURING TIMES OF PEACE, LOVERS COME FROM ALL AROUND TO VISIT THAT BRIDGE.
THEY REALLY LIVENED UP THE PLACE!
I SEE THAT YOU HAVE A SECRET LOVE THAT NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT.
IT REMAINS HIDDEN, NEVER TO BE SHOWN. ...IT MUST BE DIFFICULT FOR YOU.
HMMMM...I FEEL THE STIRRINGS OF A FAINT LOVE IN YOUR HEART. YOU WON'T EVEN ADMIT IT TO YOURSELF.
WHEN YOU HAVE RESOLVED YOUR OWN INNER TURMOILS, YOUR LOVE WILL COME TO FRUITION.
...THE OUTCOME...WHO KNOWS?
HMMMM...I SENSE THERE IS SOMEONE...SOMEONE FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD...SOMEONE YOU LOVE.
HOWEVER, A SAD CONCLUSION TO THIS LOVE AWAITS...
WHAT DO YOU WISH FOR ME TO DIVINE? WHAT YOU LOVE CANNOT POSSIBLY BE A PERSON.
VERY WELL, LET ME SEE... NO, NO...I SEE NOTHING.
BUT DO NOT FORGET, EVERYTHING IS IN THE HANDS OF SABRINA.
LOVE SHOULD NOT BE DECIDED BY APPEARANCES. IF YOU ARE STUCK ON THIS POINT, I PITY YOU.
IN MY DIVINATION, I SEE THAT TAKING THE INITIATIVE WILL BRING GOOD RESULTS.
I SEE THERE IS SOMEONE WHO IS CONNECTED TO YOU DEEPLY. THIS MAY BE WHO YOU SEEK.
HOWEVER, MY WORDS MEAN LITTLE. IN THE END, YOUR FUTURE IS DECIDED BY YOU.
THIS IS MOST FORTUITOUS. YOUR THOUGHTS WILL SURELY COME TO PASS.
THIS MUST BE THE WILL OF SABRINA.
LET ME SEE... WH...WHAT???!!!
I SEE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO MARRY ME. THE SPIRITS HAVE SPOKEN. THIS MUST BE OUR DESTINY.
HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT, MY DARLING?
