On Broken Wings Location: Sulen'Eska -> Up -> Up Vortex -> Up -> Kara SuLema -> Quests -> Broken Wings -> Quest!, Location: Sulen'Eska -> Up -> Up Vortex -> Mritha -> Past Quests -> Kara SuLema -> Quests -> Broken Wings -> Quest! Level/Quest/Items required: Completion of InspecZion Release Date: April 18th, 2014 Objective: Insider intelligence has located a hideaway where future plans may be set in motion. Find out what Akanthus has planned next to thwart him. Objective completed: Though Mritha has the next attack in her hands, the resistance has lost a major asset. Scaled Yes/No: Yes Monsters (2) Energizer (4) ManaHunter (1) Manahuntress (4) Mushroom (2) Tog NPCs Akanthus Kara SuLema Melissa Mritha Saellah Svera Z Rewards Kara's Wings (I-VI) Dialogue Equips Kara. Mritha: So, you sent <Character> into Espina Rosa? I had my reservations, Kara, but the Face Nommer worked. Mritha: Don't get me wrong, you've been right on target every time, but this one... was just a bit weird. Melissa: Mritha's right. And you disappearing without much of a heads-up wasn't exactly wonderful. Melissa: I had a lot of people asking me where you were, why you were missing and why you wouldn't tell anyone anything. Kara SuLema: I know. I am sorry. Svera knew where I was, but I also knew she wouldn't say anything definite. Kara SuLema: It was out of my concern for you that I didn't tell you all where I was going. Mritha: Still, to leave us in the dark while you were risking life and limb? You are the leader here, Kara, there are expecta-- Kara SuLema: Mritha, I know. But, as leader, I must be willing to do whatever it takes to get us to the next step. Kara SuLema: And if something were to ever happen to me, Svera knows how things run; my expectations, my goals. Kara SuLema: And both of you are fully capable of helping out. Melissa: I am honoured that you think that highly of me to entrust this whole settlement... Melissa: ... the people who love you and trust your leadership and the movement of freedom, to us. Mritha: Aye, as do I. And I hope it will never come to that, Kara. You will ensure that, right? Kara SuLema: As much as I can, Mritha. Kara SuLema: Now, Svera, what do you have? Svera: Our source has sent a note saying that Akanthus was seen in a camp outside of Falconreach. Svera: There were dragons gathering and it is suspected that Saellah is there also. Svera: Unverified reports of Saellah's dragon, Senthris, being there have been coming in. Svera: My lady, if Akanthus is there, and Saellah and his fellow defector dragonriders also... Svera: ... then the rumour that another draconic assault coming may be true. Kara SuLema: Then that is where I need to be. Melissa: You can't be serious!! Mritha: You can't be serious!! Melissa: You won't be sneaking into the camp of some substandard brigands- you'll be sneaking into a camp full of DRAGONS. Mritha: Dragons that can smell magic, find you, and alert their riders... Kara, please! Kara SuLema: No, I am sorry Mritha, Melissa, but this is what I have to do. I need to know what their next move is. Melissa: But... Kara... Mritha: I don't approve, at all. I don't care what you think your duties to us are, Kara, think of your own skin for ONCE for Odgne's sake. Kara SuLema: *sigh* Being a leader making sacrifices that sometimes aren't... well, ideal. Kara SuLema: It's a lesson that I've learned many times in my lifetime - both as a student and as a leader. Kara SuLema: I've failed in the past because I wasn't willing to make such a sacrifice. I will not let history repeat itself. Kara SuLema: Mritha, please request that Odgne tell the other dragons that there is a potential raid or move against them coming. Kara SuLema: Your group needs to have their eyes open and watching for anything at all strange. Mritha: But... Mritha: Fine. *Mritha sends a message to Odgne, through telepathic communication.* Mritha: Done, but she isn't happy about this either. Just thought you should know. Kara SuLema: I expected nothing less. Kara SuLema: Melissa? Please make sure that you are ready to guide any and all races that are interested in moving once we have the opportunity. Melissa: You make it sound like you are planning for the worst case scenario. Kara SuLema: It's what a leader must do. Now, I must go. Please, please, my friends, just do as I ask and do not worry. Melissa: Yes, Kara. Mritha: Yes, Kara. *Svera, Mritha, and Melissa are talking, after Kara has left.* Melissa: Svera, you know this is a bad move, don't you? Svera: Do you not think I spent hours before this meeting trying to talk her out of it. Svera: You... you don't know what happened, what is driving her to do this thing. She has spent a lot of time trying to make up for it. Mritha: I have a feeling we don't want to know what this past event is. Melissa: It has to be something incredibly painful to haunt her so. Svera: Ladies, please look to your people and prepare. We will stay in contact through all of this. You will be the first to hear once we get what we need. Svera: I wish you weren't always trying to rectify the past, Kara. Svera: It.. causes you to take chances you shouldn't, sister of my heart. *You, as Kara, are on the path to a hideaway of The Rose, fighting various Rose Soldiers and monsters along the way; eventually you reach a gate that leads to the hideaway.* Kara SuLema: So, it is as the reports say. Dragons and riders everywhere. I need to find Senthris, for where she is, Saellah is. *As Kara heads north from the gate, she finds Senthris outside the Rose hideaway.* Kara SuLema: Ah, there is the beautiful Senthris. Shame she is on the wrong side. Where Senthris is, Saellah is. *Kara then proceeds to eavesdrop on Akanthus' and Saellah's conversation.* Akanthus: You were sure last time. How can you be sure this time? Saellah: Sure, rub it in. You haven't changed since we were young. Akanthus: I have a job to do, Saellah. I have to make sure. Both you and Zadd have not exactly been the most productive team members. Saellah: Yes, and all the others have been perfectly wonderful... Saellah: Forgive me if I sound less enthusiastic about how everyone is faring against <Character>, Kara, Sulen'Eska, Mritha, Melissa-- Akanthus: ENOUGH! Saellah: You want to be harsh? I can be that too, you know. You taught me bitterness and harshness a long time ago. Don't try to take that back now. Akanthus: We did... have fun together, didn't we? Saellah: I doubt the rest of Lore would agree that what we did was fun... But it was. Akanthus: Your hatred got the best of you. Saellah: Oh yes, let's reminisce about my failures and curses. I am bonded to a dragon... thank the lords she is powerful... Saellah: ... or I would have put her to death a long time ago. It's bad enough I have to tolerate her now. Akanthus: Does she still try to get in? Saellah: No, not anymore. After one too many clashes with my psyche, I think she finally understands that I want nothing to do with her. Saellah: Now she just keeps to herself. Pathetic. A creature like her could never hope to understand my worldview. Akanthus: Worldview... I like that. I will have to use that the next time my methods are questioned. Now, back to where we are. Your troops are ready? Saellah: We are still waiting for the southern dragonriders to arrive, but once we have them... Saellah: ... I will be ready to storm Mritha's camp whenever you give the order. She has this coming! Akanthus: Wonderful. She probably sees it coming. Her and Kara, both. Bothersome women. I cannot wait to get rid of them for good. Saellah: And once they are gone, you will go for their families, the fairy realm and any other "sentient" peoples. Akanthus: Ahahahahaha! Saellah: Hehehehe! Kara SuLema: Time to go... *Z appears in front of Kara, just as she is about to leave.* Z: Oh, lookie here... *Kara looks terrified for a moment, then casts a gust of wind to send Zadd off his feet, and turns back.* Kara SuLema: Ugh... *Akanthus now has Kara in his hands; unbeknown to her, it was a trap.* Akanthus: I knew you wouldn't be able to resist, Elf. When you focus on a prize, you lose sight of everything else... Saellah: And now, we have you. Well played, Akanthus. Very well played. I underestimated her remorse. Akanthus: Zadd, if you would do the honours? *Zadd places a magic-binding shackle around Kara's neck, rendering her unable to perform any more wind magic.* Akanthus: Now... you are mine. *The screen fades to black, then shifts to Sulen'Eska, where Mritha is located; a note appears behind her.* Mritha: What is this? *She picks up the note and reads it.* Mritha I am sorry. Akanthus set a trap and has taken me. They are coming for you and the dragons and the Dravir; assembling defectors from all over Lore with their dragons. You are my replacement. Svera is ready. Forgive me. Forgive me please. Kara *Mritha closes her eyes, then lets out a shrill scream after reading the note; you can also hear a dragon's roar, presumably Odgne's, in the background.* Complete Quest Other information Guests and pet dragon are removed upon beginning this quest and prevented from being summoned as of January 29th, 2021.
