Initializing Quest

Rin Halt! How dare you intrude upon the high grove of the Otami spirits?

You I was sent here. To speak with you, I think.

Lin How could anyone know we are here? We speak to no one and reveal ourselves even more rarely.

You More rarely than never speaking to anyone?

Rin ...what?

You She said that you reveal yourselves even more rarely than you speak, and you never speak. Yet, here you are, and you've already spoken to me. So I'm asking...how rare do you mean, really?

Lin Oh, Rin...I told you we shouldn't say anything. Now what are we going to do?

Rin Shhhh, Lin. You know that we're the chosen ones. We can DO this.

You You can do what?

Rin Lin is sensitive to the thoughts of the spirits around us. She sees flashes of things that have not yet come to pass.

You She sees the future?

Lin It's not always the future. It's just one of the futures that *may* happen. Not necessarily what *will* happen.

You That's what Blaze was talking about when she sent me looking for you!

Lin Yes...speaking to you is why we spoke to Blaze originally. I saw that revealing ourselves to her would eventually result in meeting you...and that is necessary if certain other things are to come to pass.

You You mean...*I'm* important?

Rin Yes, yes...we're all important. Lin...we mustn't talk too much about what we hope for, or it shall not come to pass.

Lin Yes, of course, brother. It's just that there's so much turmoil in the future I see. It seems unkind to hide it.

Rin We must.

You Wait a minute...don't I get a vote here?

Rin No. For you, there is only the two possible outcomes: your own death, deep within the world, or the salvation of all that is Gaia.

You What?!?

Rin Our people have hidden, deep in the jungles, since the ancient days that war tore the fabric of our once great society apart. We had not emerged from that darkness until the fateful day that Lin began having her visions. Visions of you, [name].

You You know my name?

Lin It is through you that we hope the people of Gaia will one day understand what occurs now in the world. It is either that...or you will destroy us all along with yourself.

You Now, wait a minute...

Lin We understand that this is overwhelming to you, but you are here for a reason. You wish to find the one that Blaze calls 'Marshall'. But to do that, you must be willing to prove yourself to the spirits of the Otami. Are you so willing?

CONTINUES AT: Merit in the Eyes of the Spirits

Before Completion

Blaze I thought you were off to talk with Rin and Lin...

You I'm getting to it!

After Completion

Blaze You helped our Rin and Lin, they said they'd answer any questions I have! Thanks! Is there anything I can do for you?

You You said you'd tell me where to find Marshall... I think it's time you made good on that promise.

Blaze I guess that's the fair thing to do before I run off to interrogate Rin and Lin. Anyway, I'm not sure exactly where he is...

You You've got to be kidding. I should have known you were trying to trick me. How were you planning to help me find him if you don't know where he is.

Blaze You've got to be kidding. Calm down, I didn't trick you. I told you I could help you find Marshall and I can. I know Marshall is out on a dive. He always checks in with Jacques at the lighthouse before heading out to sea. Jacques will know exactly where he is diving. I'm sure he will... if he gives you any grief just tell him I said it was okay. I'm Marshall's assistant so if Jacques knows I'm okay with it he shouldn't have a problem at all.

You Cool... now how do I get to the lighthouse?

Blaze Just head over the beach and go north immediately. The lighthouse is at the end of the grassy area. How were you planning to help me find him if you don't know where he is. Hey, just because I don't know exactly where he is doesn't mean I don't know how to find him. He just went out on a dive and would have checked in with Jacques at the lighthouse before putting out to sea. Jacques will know where to find Marshall.

You And Jacques is willing to tell me where Marshall is?

Blaze I'm sure he will... if he gives you any grief just tell him I said it was okay. I'm Marshall's assistant so if Jacques knows I'm okay with it he shouldn't have a problem at all.

You Cool... now how do I get to the lighthouse?

Blaze Just head over the the beach and go north immediately. The lighthouse is at the end of the grassy area.

You just found the Recipe: Otami Loincloth!
