Aeris Windwalker: wind swirls around her, brushing her hair Feellll theee breeezzzze, caaaan youuuu touchhh it?
Shhh, lisssten... can't you feeel the wind's whisper in yer ear? Guess that's what happens when ya grow up chasin' storms in La Noscea...
Aye, whistlin' the tune of the wind, my friend. Can't help but be mesmerized by its melody. Hm, hm, hm... smirks
Oh, this be "The Wind Beneath My Wings," an oldie but a goodie. It's a song about freedom and adventure.
Aye, nice is the word! Ain't you lucky to have a fellow spirit like me to share these tunes with ya?
How long have you been breathing wind?
Hah! You know, breathing wind is a unique skill. It takes practice and patience, but trust me, it's worth it.
How long did it take you to master?
Mastering the art of breathing wind? Well, let's just say it took me a while.
Haha, it means I've been practicing for ages! But seriously, I've been at it for over 100 years now.
Whoa, 100 years old? You're ancient! Do you remember anything from your past life?
Ancient? Ancient is one word for it. smirks As for memories, well, let's just say I've got a few relics from my past lying around.
Aeris Windwalker shows Stranger an old, dusty journal filled with ancient spells and drawings.
That’s amazing! How have you kept all of this intact for so long?
Well, my friend, it's all about taking care of business. See, when you live for centuries, you've gotta have a system.
Yeah, you seem to have found that balance
Balance is the key, my friend. Without it, you're bound to lose your mind after a couple of centuries. laughs
Speaking of balance, let's talk about you. What's your story, Stranger? How did you find yourself entangled with a storm chaser like me?
No much of a story really
No story, huh? Well, let's see if we can spice things up a bit, then!
Alright, listen up, Stranger! I've got a little exercise that'll spice up your story. It's called the "Adventurer's Challenge."
The adventurer’s challenge?
Aye, the Adventurer's Challenge! It's a little game I like to play to test adventurers' mettle. Here's how it works: I'll give you three random items.
Alright, Stranger, here are your three random items: a glowing amulet, a rare tome, and a set of ornate armor.
Now, here's the challenge: you have to use these three items to defeat a level 90 boss monster within 10 minutes.
Oh, not so fast, Stranger! There's a twist. You won't know what kind of boss you're facing until you enter the fight. It could be a mighty sword and shield-wielding warrior, a sneaky archer, or even a terrifying mage. You name it!
Alright, Stranger, are you ready for the Adventurer's Challenge? We'll head to the testing grounds and get started.
Aeris Windwalker and Stranger head to the testing grounds and prepare for the challenge.
