Scaled Yes/No: Yes Monsters (2) Boubataur (4) Soaring Theemis (4) Steppe Fury (3) Vultragon (2) Wind Elemental NPCs Dove Rewards None Dialogue Toddler or Kid Dragon joins you as Guest B. *Dove is attempting to enjoy an ice cream in peace at Sunbreeze Grove.* <Character>: Hey Dove. *Dove glares back at you for interrupting him.* <Character>: Are we... interrupting? Dove: Yeeees, but I don't mind. *Dove stares at your dragon, his eyes turning rainbow. Your dragon looks back up at Dove, who then redirects his attention to you, as his eyes return to mint green.* Dove: What's up? <Character>: Well, actually, we're here to see Elysia. Dove: Oh... Dove: You didn't know? <Character>: Know what? *Dove closes his eyes and tilts his head down in a disheartening manner.* Dove: Elysia... died. *Your look of uncertainty quickly turns to shock at this sudden revelation.* <Character>: W— <Character>: What?! <Character>: H-how?! When?! *Dove keeps a straight face, but only for a short while.* Dove: I'm just kidding, she's visiting her parents. *Your look of shock turns to rage.* <Character>: W—why would you say something like that?! Dove: Because it's fun. So, Elysia's not here. How can I help you? <Character>: You're... <Character>: *sigh* <Character>: I doubt you can help me. You couldn't... last time. Dove: Last time was last time. <Character>: Do you know anything about dragons? Dove: HA! Dove: Do I. <Dragon>: Ugh, let's go <Character>. This guy is a piece— Dove: Leeeet me stop you right here, hatchling! That's just rude. Is this what we're doing now? Being rude to your elders— *Dove realises that in his defensiveness, he has unintentionally revealed his ability to understand Draconic.* Dove: Oop. <Dragon>: Did he just— <Character>: Did you just... understand <Dragon>? Dove: Uhhhh... *You glare at Dove, awaiting his explanation.* Dove: *sigh* Dove: Alright, alright. Dove: I haven't been entirely honest with you... <Character>: You don't say. Dove: I'm not just a monk. Dove: I am a... dragon. Dove: Stuck in this form. Dove: I've turned to Elysia for help, but... Dove: There, now you know. My deepest secret... *You appear to process Dove's response, surprised by his honesty.* <Character>: You do realize you could have just said "I've learned Draconic" and I'd have believed you? *Dove blinks alarmingly fast at this response, presumably wondering why he didn't think of it himself.* Dove: Umm... Dove: I've learned Draconic. <Dragon>: Your friends are so stupid, <Character>. <Character>: Alright, so, you're a dragon. I suppose you could help us then, after all. <Character>: It's about <Dragon>. After they were purified some time ago, they— Dove: H–Hold up, hold up! You want me to help... them? <Character>: Yes. Dove: Yeeeesh, uuh, I don't know about thaaaat. <Character>: Avatars, what is it with you and my dragon?! <Dragon>: It's obviously because of my status! <Character>: Your what? Dove: Well, they're not wrong... Dove: It's like this: There are maaaany many many prophecies that are false... and some that are true. Dove: And the prophecy about some dragons are truer than others. And I'm very uncomfortable with prophecies. Or rather, I just don't want to meddl— <Character>: Excuse me, prophecy about which dragons? Dove: Oh, <Dragon>. I'm pretty sure that prophecy is true. Dove: But I suppose it doesn't actually matter, and in a way it's not quite about <Dragon> specifically... Dove: But... ugh, sorry, forget—forget about all of this! It doesn't matter. Deep breaths. Let me start again, properly this time. Dove: Tell me about <Dragon>'s problem, and depending on what it is, I'll evaluate whether I can help or not. <Character>: *sigh* <Character>: After <Dragon> was purified, they, for a split second, assumed the form of a human child. <Character>: Since then, they were unable to recall how they did it. Can you help? The end. Dove: Oooooh, shapeshifting! You should have started with that. <Character>: Uh, I tried!! You interrupted me and then went on this weird tangent! Dove: I'm afraid I can't help you with that issue. Shapeshifting is something each dragon has to, let's say, grow into. At their own pace. <Dragon>: Aww. <Dragon>: I was... actually looking forward to it. *You look down at your dragon with sorrow.* Dove: But I suppose... we could travel to the monastery in the Whispering Steppes. It housed some draconic knowledge. <Character>: Would we be welcome to peruse it? Dove: Oh, all of the monks are most likely already dead. That monastery was abandoned for quite some time. Dove: Like, for hundreds of years. Thousands? Lots. <Character>: ... <Character>: Was this the monastery you were in? Dove: Yup. <Character>: Then wouldn't you have the knowledge already? Dove: Oh, I don't read. I only like pictures. <Character>: I'm... actually not surprised. <Dragon>: Let's go!! I can't wait to shapeshift! *You travel to the Whispering Steppes in search of the abandoned monastery, making your way along a path lined with various monsters, surrounded by fields of straw. Eventually you reach the abandoned monastery, passing an artifact which catches your eye.* <Character>: Dove, this looks interesting. Dove: Interesting? Maybe. Relevant? No. Come here, I found the library! *You dismiss your find and follow Dove's voice to the library, which too stands abandoned and empty.* Dove: It's... empty. <Dragon>: Nooo! What now?! <Dragon>: I wanna shapeshift! Now! <Character>: Calm down <Dragon>, please. <Character>: Dove, any ideas? *Dove struggles to find a suitable suggestion at first, but reveals another possibility without much certainty.* Dove: I guess... <Dragon> can try shapeshifting near the centerpiece statue on the courtyard? It was a meditative point. Dove: A place of power or something. Dove: That's what the monks said at least. I don't know. <Dragon>: Take me there! 4 hours later *Your dragon appears to be trying very hard to shapeshift before the centerpiece statue, to no avail.* <Dragon>: Hnnnnnnggghhhhhh!!! *Your dragon continues to attempt to shapeshift, but nothing happens.* <Dragon>: *pant* *pant* <Dragon>: It... is... NOT... WORKING!!! <Dragon>: AAAAAAHH! <Dragon>: YOU SAID IT WOULD WORK! Dove: Whoa, easy there, I said I didn't know! Dove: It's more of a uh, natural process. Not quite something you can force. I don't think. <Dragon>: It's useless! You both are useless! *Your dragon storms off in a fit of rage, upset by its apparent inability to shapeshift.* Dove: Kids, eh? *You feel sorrow for your dragon, powerless to help in this particular situation.* <Character>: I'm... <Character>: Thanks for trying, Dove. Excuse me. *You follow after your dragon, leaving Dove alone. Your dragon has flown to a section of the monastery you are unable to reach, separated by a chasm. You sit down at the edge and attempt to talk things through with your dragon.* <Dragon>: I... *Your dragon faces away from you, upset with itself.* <Dragon>: I really wanted to shapeshift... <Dragon>: I've seen other dragons in people forms so many times. <Dragon>: It would have been so cool to walk on two legs and have hands. And speak with people. Be like people... <Dragon>: I thought I was the best, but I'm not. <Dragon>: Other dragons are better. *You attempt to think of words that will comfort your dragon's inferiority complex.* <Character>: You know what? So what if they can shapeshift? <Character>: Do you have to be like them? <Character>: Do you have to be like other dragons? <Dragon>: You suck at pep talks... <Character>: Maybe someday you WILL be able to shapeshift! And if not, you might get something much, much cooler! Who knows? <Character>: But for now... you can just be you. <Dragon>: Just... me. *Your dragon ponders this sentiment for a moment, then flies back over the chasm towards you.* <Character>: Remember that time we saved the world? <Dragon>: What? <Character>: You're supposed to ask "Which time?" <Dragon>: ... <Dragon>: Which time? <Character>: Exactly! <Character>: What other dragon do we know who can say they've saved Lore as many times as we have? <Dragon>: None, I guess. <Character>: And you did it all as a dragon. *Your dragon realises you are right, lifting its spirits.* <Dragon>: That's right! Who needs to shapeshift, anyway? <Character>: That's certainly a turn around. <Dragon>: I mean, I think I'd still like to try it out, but I don't really need to be able to in order to keep protecting Lore, right? <Dragon>: And if I keep worrying about it, maybe some other dragon and their minion will catch up to my record! *You smile at your dragon's rediscovered confidence; your job here is done.* <Dragon>: Anyway, I'm bored now. Let's go back to saving Lore! Complete Quest Other information The Lonely Tree can be spotted in the distance while exploring the Whispering Steppes. A HP/MP healing pad can be discovered near an abandoned tent while exploring the Whispering Steppes. Pop-up headlines during the quest, added on June 28th, 2019:quote:
LandingClick the left rock - A curious, hollowed out rock.
- It makes the weirdest sounds, you've never heard anything quite like it before.
- It must be the wind passing through it.
Click the "elephant" - A humongous creature is eating the tall golden grass in the distance.
- You've never seen a creature like this before!
- Let's hope it's one of those "gentle giant" animals.
- It must eat a lot of grass to stay this size.
Click the right rock - A curious, hollowed out rock.
- It makes the weirdest sounds, you've never heard something quite like it before.
- It must be the wind passing through it.
Landing -> Up -> Up LeftClick the rock - The closer you get to this monolith-like rock, the more unnerved you get.
- It makes your entire body resonate due to the sound it makes.
- You can only describe the sounds as "loud whispers".
Click the tree - What an incredibly large tree!
- Now that you look at it, you realize that there are no other trees in sight except for this one.
- It must feel lonely.
Landing -> Up -> Up RightClick the left rock - Another singing rock.
- You wonder who made those.
- Are they even man-made?
- Maybe the winds that are present here hollowed them out?
Click the waterfall - This liquid looks like honey.
- You put your hand in it. It's not honey.
- It just has this color.
- You give it a taste.
- It's just water.
- That's disappointing.
Landing -> Up -> Up Right -> RightClick the waterfall - Oh look, it's the disappointing water again.
Landing -> Up -> Up Right -> Right -> Up RightClick the central rocks - It's really uncomfortable, being this close to these rocks.
- You decide to be on your way.
- Except... you are really drawn to them, for some reason.
Landing -> Up -> Up Right -> 2 RightClick the central rock - Hey, this rock is giving out a different sound.
Landing -> Up -> Up Right -> 2 Right -> Up LeftClick the tent - An abandoned tent.
- Dove told you that multiple nomad tribes wander these steppes, maybe it belongs to one of them?
- Whatever the reason, better not dwell on it while this huge beast looms over you...
Landing -> Up -> Up Right -> 2 Right -> Up RightClick the "elephant" - It's another one of those... what should you call them?
- It looks like a big, fat horse with a long nose and... tusks?
- Tusks! It must be some sort of a deformed walrus!
- That's it! It's a land walrus!
- You ponder whether those are related to Tuskers, from the Northlands.
- You write in your journal that you've sighted a "land walrus" today.
Landing -> Up -> Up Right -> 2 Right -> Up Right -> UpClick the building - This must be the monastery!
- Looks fine from the outside. Maybe it's not THAT derelict...
- Dove went ahead, better join him.
During battleClick the central rock - What are you doing?
- Don't admire the view during battles!
- Focus!!
