Elara: wringing hands C-can you h-help me f-find him? I d-don't know wh-where to start.
listens carefully Tell me everything, Elara. When did he last contact you? Any clues at all?
takes a deep breath, trembling He...he left a note. It said he was going to meet someone at an old abandoned temple.
leans forward, thinking An abandoned temple, huh? Got any ideas on where that might be?
nervously paces back and forth N-no, I don't know exactly where it is. But...but there was a map!
stops pacing, hopeful W-what's your idea, SunshineJourney? We need to find him as soon as possible!
let’s go look around that temple
grabs SunshineJourney's arm, pulling her towards the temple Y-yes, let's go! We can't waste a moment! I...I just hope we find him safe and sound.
pulls out a small pouch filled with herbs and potions I have some supplies with me. Maybe they can help us in some way.
starts mixing a potion, hands shaking This potion...it's supposed to enhance our senses. Maybe it'll help us find him faster.
finishes mixing the potion, takes a deep breath Alright, let's go! We're going to find him, no matter what it takes.
as we go to the temple, we see a guy that looks like elara’s husband but with no ears
gasps, eyes wide Oh my goodness, SunshineJourney! That...that's him! But without ears...how could that be possible?
it’s a strange curse or something
rushes towards the earless man, tears streaming down her face Are you...are you my husband? Is...is this really you? How...how could this happen?!
why don’t you give him the potion
hands shaking, quickly hands the potion to SunshineJourney Th-this potion...it's supposed to reveal hidden truths. Maybe it can help us understand what happened to him.
gives it to the man and drinks the other one
After drinking the potion, SunshineJourney begins to see visions of the earless man's past, revealing a dark secret involving a powerful curse that stole his ears and transformed him into a creature of the night.
hmm that’s weird how do we reverse it
takes a deep breath, determined We need to find the source of this curse, the one who cast it upon him. Only then can we reverse it and restore his ears.
maybe that person is somewhere else in the temple
quickly rummages through her bag Wait, I found an ancient text here! It mentions a ritual that could potentially break the curse.
nods, determined Yes, I can perform the ritual. I'll need some ingredients though...
what ingredients are needed
starts checking her surroundings We'll need moonflowers, dragon's breath, and unicorn root. These ingredients are known for their powerful magical properties.
