The Northern Forest's Guardian

I don't know if you've had the chance to look around since being deployed to this continent.

You've heard about our Procyon forces stationed in the northern forest, right?

• No, not yet.

I'm sure you'll have your hands full, but you should take a look.

Unlike the southern forest, it doesn't look like it's changed much since ancient Senillinea.

It's a mysterious place, but hasn't been as beautiful since the humans occupied it.

• Why?

People led simple lives for a long time in order to preserve this forest's beauty and peace.

For that reason, the Senillineans didn't develop anything at all. They simply found ways to make the time pass.

• Listen to the next story.

There's a pile of work ahead of us.

Please look around the forest today.

• Look around the forest for anything interesting. (accepts the quest)

There's an old-looking stone statue of a goddess.

It looks like it's aged with time. It's starting to grow moss and appears to be broken in certain places. It gives a sense of dignity and sadness at the same time.

• Should we take a closer look?

Upon closer inspection, there appears to be some writing on the front of the statue.

Hmm, it's written in the Senea language.

I should transcribe it and ask someone to read it for me.

• Transcribe it and hurry back to the village.

Huh? Do you have something to say to me?

I'm busy.

• Umm, you look more available than anyone in this village.

Huh? What's this note? You want me to read it?

That's not difficult at all. Let's see.

The guardians and humans have a mutual respect and promise to not disturb each other.

This is called the promise of balance and

those who disregard it welcome death.

• Keep listening.

The place of promise is...

the Guardian Room in the Amethyst Cave, located at the innermost part of the northern forest.

What is this?

Where did you find this?

• That's a secret! Thank you for reading it.

If I'm not mistaken, that's almost certainly talking about the promise of balance, right?

Hey, don't do dangerous things!

I clearly told you.

• Head to the Amethyst Cave.

... Don't be startled, human.

I don't intend on killing you.

• This incredible animal is known as a guardian...

I've lived in this forest for ages.

I've also witnessed many things...

All those times passed, but everything fell apart in an instant.

• Listen to the next story.

What do you humans think?

I want to know.

Will you protect the forest with us?

Or will you let greed take you over?

• Things can no longer return to the way they once were. Acknowledge change and the power of humans!

You foolish human...!

You'll regret this.

Do you think the power of humans will last forever?

Do you think you've chosen the path to peace...!

• Run away before you're attacked.

You met with a guardian?

Where?

• Inside the Amethyst Cave deep within the forest.

The guardians don't allow just anyone to come and go.

I have a feeling that something is about to change.

• Listen to the next story.

It's our destiny to stand up to the guardians.

If we can't defeat the guardians, humans will have no hope of surviving on this continent.

It's not like before.

Things are rapidly changing. Only the humans will be able to save the humans.
