A Wandering Ent

A Wandering Ent Requirements: None Chatting: Gridus: Heya, child. Did you ever get into the deepest point in the Laisen Forest? I mean, just few are allowed to reach so far cuz many lost in there and didn't come back, so entrance is about to shut down. Saw a figure through the fog many days ago going to the forest's shrine and since I'm not allowed to go outside couldn't check it out, but I'm sure I know who was that one, sadly. I'm worried. I don't mean you to go there if not wanting to, also that's actually risky, but...


 * 1) I will take a look.
 * 2) Someone can check it later.

(If 1 Accept) Seems like you want to go... If will, don't think you'll go unrewarded. If you see what happened give me the information. Grateful in advance. ... Ah, wait, I used to go in there when adolescent and drawn over a paper the location of the hidden entrance to the underground shrine, take it as well or you will not find it maybe, just hide it from the guardians if you could.


 * (You got Laisen Forest's shrine guide map.)

(If 2 Refuse) Well, right. I cannot force anybody to... Nevermind...

--The quest have Begun--

Objetive Details: Go to the Laisen Forest's upper left part to get into the shrine and see what happened. Data: After you go in the hidden shrine you see a girl on her knees next to a grave-like rock. (A girl in this place? How weird, also she's whispering something as "Rinneth".) Chats: Girl: Huh? Noises? Data: You get closer and try to help her standing up. Girl: A human... ? (You notice you can't touch her hand to helping... Instead feel a strong cold and loud sound after tried to.) Data: You ran away afraid and cannot go outside due to a magic barrier. Chats: Girl: Why do you run away? Are you afraid too? Will you leave me alone too? (You feel confused and still scared, noticed that's a phantom and you start to lose power, she's draining it, can't nor even leave due to a magic barrier.) Phantom Girl: I do not want to be alone anymore like in these entire years, please stay with me. Let me kill you so we will be together forever, I beg of you... ! Defeat: Phantom Girl Phantom Girl: Ah... Why I can not reach the happiness... ? (You remind what Gridus told but don't say it.) Phantom Girl: What? Someone... is worried about me... ? Could it be... ? (The magic barrier blocking the entrance disappears and you feel she's reading your mind.) Phantom Girl: Rinneth... sent you... I see... He, he... Data: She falls to the ground. (Rinneth? Wasn't it Gridus?) Phantom Girl: Rinneth is his true name, took the nickname Gridus from his dead brother. I was his girlfriend but got murdered by some winged light warriors and this place became my graveyard. (Winged light warriors... Extrange.) Phantom Girl: Yes, and he got crazy after seeing me being killed since I was the only one who never tried to leave him and he was forced by those warriors to see me dying, that is why Rinneth cannot go outside to meet me again since people saw him destroying things and heard him shouting blasphemy, so others thinks he is actually unable to leave the city or gonna suicide. He sent you maybe to let me notice he still remember me... (As you remind he said he know who was there in the fog and got worried, maybe Gridus knew who it was exactly even as ghost figure. Feel bad due of her tears and weakness.) Phantom Girl: If he is rude and unfriendly it is my fault, he was neutral but humble before all this. Deeply sorry for hurting you, I got desperated and egoist so I feel guilty, but still happy for knowing he did not forget me. Thank you and forgive me, I will back someday to meet you again, to tell Rinneth that I did not meant to raise a trauma on him, and to make him know I will love him for all the eternity...


 * (She fades away after losing her last powers. Dropped a bracelet and you got it to give it to Rinneth. Feel a strong and very heavy energy when holding it up, you feel bad and almost fainting when holding it.)

--Update Point--

Objetive Details: Go back to Asuri Town to give Rinneth/Gridus the information. Chats: If done: Gridus: Hey! What happened? What was it? (You show the bracelet.) Gridus: E... Emilia... ? (He takes it and falls on his knees, keep silent for a while and his hands are shaking a bit. You got a huge relief after giving the item to him.) Gridus: ... Explorer, thank you for doing this, maybe she finally reached the happiness after what you had to do, I didn't knew how to release her. I saw and heard a fragment of what happened between you two since I touched her accessory, so... Take this as a reward. (You got 50,000 s) Gridus: Don't say my real name, please, also keep the bracelet for you, she said years ago she will give it to the one who saves her from the pain and I couldn't nor even deserve it... It's yours.

 * 2) Decline it.
