| 1 | qst202305_msg001 | 84 | Excuse me, my Prince... Did you
perchance mention a "sealed-up
legendary beast"? |
| 2 | qst202305_msg002 | 84 | Huh? Sorry, mate. Do I know you? |
| 3 | qst202305_msg003 | 84 | Apologies, my Prince. My name is
Zaman. I'm a wandering bard. |
| 4 | qst202305_msg004 | 84 | There's actually a song about a
legendary sealed-up beast in the
corpus of poetry that I hold dear. |
| 5 | qst202305_msg005 | 84 | I was reminded of it when I heard you
speak of it... Your stentorian tones
certainly carry, my Prince! |
| 6 | qst202305_msg006 | 84 | You've heard of it?! |
| 7 | qst202305_msg007 | 84 | What does it say about it in this song
of yours? |
| 8 | qst202305_msg008 | 84 | Ahem. It is the epic tale of a band of
heroes who sealed away the infamous
and vile creature... |
| 9 | qst202305_msg009 | 84 | The heroes set out, together with their
loyal Blades and many allies... |
| 10 | qst202305_msg010 | 84 | But the beast was strong! Its vile
power was the sort that could grind
a whole nation to dust! |
| 11 | qst202305_msg011 | 84 | For this reason, they called the fiend
"Thanatobeast Andraz". |
| 12 | qst202305_msg012 | 84 | Wow! What a cool name! It must have
really been something! |
| 13 | qst202305_msg013 | 84 | The mighty heroes commanded
great power. Yet, it was not enough
to fell the beast with finality. |
| 14 | qst202305_msg014 | 84 | They laid down their lives, but all they
could do was seal it away. |
| 15 | qst202305_msg015 | 84 | In the song, they used four sealstones
to bind its monstrosity. |
| 16 | qst202305_msg016 | 84 | So that it remained locked away,
they hid the stones in four different
lands. |
| 17 | qst202305_msg017 | 84 | OK! Great! So where do I find these
stones, then? |
| 18 | qst202305_msg018 | 84 | Well, according to the song... |
| 19 | qst202305_msg019 | 84 | One, the stone of earth, is in a land of
verdant forest; another, the stone of
fire, in a sweltering waste. |
| 20 | qst202305_msg020 | 84 | The stone of water abides in the watery
land of eternal spring. The last, of wind,
in a tiny country blessed by sea breeze. |
| 21 | qst202305_msg021 | 84 | That's what the song says, anyway! |
| 22 | qst202305_msg022 | 84 | So what are we waiting for? Let's go
and find those stones! |
| 23 | qst202305_msg023 | 84 | Erm... May I ask... What will you do if
you find those stones? |
| 24 | qst202305_msg024 | 84 | That's easy. |
| 25 | qst202305_msg025 | 84 | We'll smash them, and bring
Thanatobeast Andraz back to life! |
| 26 | qst202305_msg026 | 84 | Then I'll smash him up till he's well
and truly decked! |
| 27 | qst202305_msg027 | 84 | You mean you're going to defeat
Thanatobeast Andraz? |
| 28 | qst202305_msg028 | 84 | Ahahahaha!
That is really very amusing! |
| 29 | qst202305_msg029 | 84 | You must be the very first person I've
met who's taken that old tale seriously. |
| 30 | qst202305_msg030 | 84 | Yeah, I believe it. Mythra here had
heard of it, too. |
| 31 | qst202305_msg031 | 84 | By the way, where is this thing sealed
away exactly? |
| 32 | qst202305_msg032 | 84 | Maybe there's a hint about that in
the song or something? |
| 33 | qst202305_msg033 | 84 | Ah...indeed... |
| 34 | qst202305_msg034 | 84 | So...what is it? |
| 35 | qst202305_msg035 | 84 | Actually...I forgot. |
| 36 | qst202305_msg036 | 84 | What? How could you forget the most
important part? |
| 37 | qst202305_msg037 | 84 | To be honest, I never thought anyone
would want to find it... |
| 38 | qst202305_msg038 | 84 | But, have no fear! I believe my old
mentor will know the rest of the song! |
| 39 | qst202305_msg039 | 84 | I'll ask him about it before
you remove the four seals. |
| 40 | qst202305_msg040 | 84 | When you've done that, meet me at
Anastatia's. |
| 41 | qst202305_msg041 | 84 | OK! We'd better start looking for these
stones then! |
| 42 | qst202305_msg042 | 84 | May you be successful! |
