Dialogue
*You and your dragon regroup with Yolande in Atrea's Civil District to see if she has seen Veyla.*
Yolande: Jatiw! How are you enjoying Atrea, <Character>, <Dragon>?
<Dragon>: It smells spicy! I like it! | *Excited growl!*
<Character>: Hello, Yolande. Everyone's been very kind and welcoming. Atrea is a wonderful city, and I can't wait to learn more!
<Character>: But, I'm sorry, we didn't come here just to chat. Alz'ein told us that Veyla's gone missing.
Yolande: Aha, you are a hero, after all! Yes, Alz'ein stopped by earlier and asked me if I had seen her friend.
Yolande: I have not, unfortunately. I did ask my contacts to begin the search, but many are busy taking care of the refugees.
Yolande: They can do little to help find a single Ateala.
Yolande: The unael, and Alz'ein and Etaos, are doing their best, I'm sure, but they can hardly cover the entire city quickly.
<Character>: Do you think there's anything <Dragon> and I can do to help? Anywhere we could look that they might have overlooked?
Yolande: Hmm. I can't promise anything, but you could try looking around the market.
Yolande: The unael may have passed through already, but you may find someone or something they missed.
Yolande: I can give you directions to the market, if you want.
<Character>: Directions would be great, thank you, Yolande. I wouldn't feel right just standing around, waiting.
<Character>: After everything Veyla's been through, I have a bad feeling about this. We need to find her as soon as possible.
Yolande: Of course. Follow me, then. I'll drop you off at the market, and make my own inquiries as well!
*You enter the market, where you find clues of Veyla's whereabouts.*
Market
Stall Owner: An Ateala clad in red? I'm sorry, I haven't seen anyone like that.
Excited Ateala: Oh! Jatiw! You're... You're <Character> and <Dragon>! I've heard so much about you!
Excited Ateala: I would offer to treat you to a homemade meal and some snacks, but I'm afraid Atrea's supplies are running low...
Excited Ateala: This is hardly the time for celebration, too, I suppose.
Excited Ateala: Oh, you're looking for an Ateala named Veyla? I'm sorry, I don't know her. I wish I could help!
Curious Ateala: What to buy... What to buy...? I know the Empress set a limit on purchases of melon per person, but for there to be so few left...
Curious Ateala: Ah, you wanted something from me? You're from this planet, yes? I have many questions I'd like to ask you, as well!
Curious Ateala: I'm sorry, if you're busy, I don't want to keep you! I'm afraid I haven't seen who you're looking for, though.
Tired Ateala: Hmm. I think I know who you are asking about. I saw her with Alz'ein earlier.
Tired Ateala: She's gone missing, you say? That is very concerning. Many Ateala have not made it home, after everything that's happened.
Tired Ateala: I hope you can find who you're looking for.
Solemn Ateala: ...Please, do not disturb me. I am in mourning, and meditating over all that has been lost.
Worried Ateala: I don't know what to buy... It's so hard to tell what we'll have trouble getting more of in the future.
Worried Ateala: Perhaps it would be better to get some of everything while I can...
Worried Ateala: What is it? An Ateala is missing? Yes, many Ateala are no longer with us. It is truly a tragedy beyond description.
Bold Ateala: Have you ever seen a sight like that before? I heard people talking about it, but to see it with my own eyes...
Calm Ateala: It's so bright! How do this planet's inhabitants survive it?
Bold Ateala: I don't know, but I am thankful for the Lens and the Cryptics!
Bold Ateala: Sorry, did you need—
Bold Ateala: Wow, are you a native of this planet? Can you tell us more about that sun?
Bold Ateala: Somorrah did not have a sun, you see, so—
Calm Ateala: Now, now, I'm sure they're a very busy... person.
Calm Ateala: You say you're looking for Veyla? I'm sorry, I don't know who that is.
Bold Ateala: Good luck in your search!
Kind Ateala: Veyla is missing? Yes, I know her! She was always so polite whenever she stopped by!
Kind Ateala: I could have sworn I saw her pass by earlier, but there was so much going on... I should have called out to her!
Kind Ateala: I... I'm certain it was her. I think she was headed down, toward the mines. Please, make sure she's safe!
Mine Manager: What to do... After everything that's happened, we're behind on the trithril shipments...
Mine Manager: Although, I suppose there's nowhere to ship to, now.
Mine Manager: ...Empress save us all.
Mine Manager: Sorry, was there something you wanted? An Ateala with red horns and clothes?
Mine Manager: I did see someone matching that description, actually.
Mine Manager: She wandered into the trithril mines. I figured she was a worker that had some belongings to pick up, but I haven't seen her come back out yet...
Mine Manager: I can let you into the mines. Just be careful, it has been infested with fire monsters ever since the attack.
- To the Mines - continues quest.
*After learning that Veyla has entered the trithril mines, you enter there, fighting various fire monsters along the way; eventually, you and your dragon find Veyla sitting in a boulder; Veyla appears to have a headache, presumably caused by Wargoth's influence.*
<Character>: Veyla! Are you okay?
Veyla: N-No... Stay back! D-Don't come any closer! I...
<Character>: What's wrong? Is it Wargoth? Is he—
Veyla: The fire... It's not over... it burns brighter... brighter and hotter...
<Character>: Veyla, it's okay, it's me, <Character>. You're safe.
Veyla: No... Never safe...
Etaos: It stinks of ashes... but there's more signs of battle.
*You turn around as you hear the voices of Etaos and Alz'ein.*
Alz'ein: This has to be the way! Veyla! We're here! Where are you?
Veyla: ...
<Character>: Over here! I found her, but... something's wrong. She needs help!
*Scene fades to black before fading back in; Etaos, Nirios, Alz'ein, and Isiri have entered the trithril mines; Isiri can be seen using her magic to subdue Wargoth's influence on Veyla.*
Veyla: It— It burns! I—
Veyla: AAARGH!!!
Veyla: I can feel his will reaching out...
Alz'ein: Hold strong, Veyla! Don't give in! Don't Let him control you!
Veyla: I... I don't know if...
<Character>: Is there anything you can do to help her?
Isiri: I... I think I can isolate her from Wargoth's influence, but I don't know how long I can keep it up.
Alz'ein: Then do it!
Isiri: I am, Alz'ein. Breathe. I am doing all that I can.
<Character>: How did you even find us down here? We're lucky you showed up when you did.
Etaos: Yolande's contacts told her that the visiting hero seemed to have a lead.
Etaos: We trust your judgment, and once we were on your tail, it was easy enough to follow.
Alz'ein: Don't run away like that again, Veyla. We can help you if you stay with me.
Veyla: I... I didn't want to put you in danger...
Isiri: Veyla, please, you need to try to hold still. My spell will take better if you can just do your best to relax.
Nirios: Still, remember, Isiri, Atrea's defense is our highest priority.
Nirios: If Veyla is succumbing to Wargoth's influence again, that can only mean one thing.
Etaos: Another attack is imminent.
<Character>: Veyla, if you're still connected to Wargoth, do you have any idea where he might be planning to attack next?
Veyla: He's... He's after Atrea...
Veyla: The desert! Here!
<Character>: Thank you, Veyla.
Isiri: It seems that all we have done is bring peril upon your world. I am sorry, <Character>.
<Character>: There's nothing to apologize for.
<Character>: Greenguard has always been a magnet for trouble, and <Dragon> and I have faced it head on countless times.
<Character>: To start, we'll have to send word to Duat and make sure they're prepared.
<Character>: Falconreach and Swordhaven may be able to send reinforcements, too.
Nirios: Atrea has defenses as well. The Empress can ensure rifts do not appear within the boundaries of the city.
Nirios: Etaos, take a cloak, and go to those allies <Character> mentioned. You will have to travel through the day, so take care.
Etaos: I shall, brother.
<Character>: I'll stay here and make sure nothing gets through to the city.
<Character>: <Dragon>, why don't you go with Etaos?
<Character>: Our allies might not be able to understand you, but they'll recognize you, and you'll give weight to his words.
<Dragon>: They'll recognize my weight, alright! | *Prideful roar!*
Nirios: Alz'ein...
Alz'ein: ...
Nirios: Atrea's defense comes first. If Isiri must turn her focus elsewhere, then Veyla...
Alz'ein: I know. I know!
Veyla: Alz...
Alz'ein: ...
*Scene fades to black.*
