something other than the fact

<Speed 96>The dimensional distortion that
Chief Direa mentioned earlier...<New>
Assuming that this exists in the

not return to your real world?<Delay 20>
I find that truly puzzling...<Close>

Steena:
<Speed 96>I believe that there is a key
item that you need to make

Something that matches the

Something powerful enough to
send <Serge> back, who is
a missing piece of this world...<Close>

Steena:
It is a one-of-a-kind orb that
our ancestors received from

Traditionally, it was passed
down to each successive
shaman, but someone has
taken it away from Guldove.<Close>

Steena:
According to legend, the Dragon
Tear is required to activate the
ruin of Fort Dragonia...<New>
<Speed 96>It is a tough and steep trail
to the top, not even the locals
venture up there.<Delay 20>
<Speed 72>But even so...<New>
<Speed 96>If the assailant's goal is to
activate the fort, it will
certainly bring disaster
to this world...<Close>

Direa:
<Speed 80><Color 8>Nod...<Color 0><Delay 15> That is correct.<Delay 30>
This Dragonian ruin is a product
of their crystal of wisdom.<New>
<Speed 96>Its power is unknown, yet much
too powerful for any human.<New>
If the ruin were to be
activated by chance, it would
emit uncontrollable power...<Delay 30>
All would surely end in disaster.<Close>

But since the Dragon Tear was
stolen, we cannot deny that this
threat may become a reality.<Close>

Steena:
The Dragonian artifacts are the
many buildings and sculptures
still found on El Nido today.<New>
But most of these have
weathered away, and only
a small portion of them
remain intact.<New>
The only one that retains
its complete form is
Fort Dragonia, which we
have discussed before.<New>
It stands at the peak of
Mount Pyre.<Close>
<End of block>

<Text block 29><params: 0 30 0 4 0 240>
Steena:
Have you noticed that many
of the islands were named
after dragons?<New>
This is because those islands
were where the Dragon Gods
resided.<New>
<Speed 96>But as human society grew less
concerned for nature, the
Dragon Gods chose to hide
from the world's eyes...<Close>
<End of block>

<Text block 30><params: 0 30 0 3 0 240>
Direa:
<Speed 96>'Tis sad...<New>
The mainland teachings state
that humans and demi-humans
are incompatible species.<New>
Is society moving farther and
farther from living in harmony
with nature?<New>
To consider separate
even though the two
are inseparable...?<Close>
<End of block>

God that watches over us...<Delay 30>

<Speed 96>As you may well know, the
natural world is composed of
a balance of the 6 Elements.<New>
<Speed 72>These Elements are...<Delay 5>
White, black, red, blue,
green, and yellow.<New>
<Speed 80>Each one pairs up with another
to maintain the balance which
the natural world relies upon.<Close>
<End of block>

<Text block 33><params: 0 27 0 4 0 216>
Direa:
<Speed 96>The gods that represent
each Element are called the
Dragon Gods.<New>
Since they symbolize the
powers of nature, they are
also commonly referred to
as the Gods of Nature.<Close>

Steena:
<Speed 96>If the sun is white,
the shadow is black...<New>
The flame red and

Green are the leaves of the

El Nido, the Dragon Gods have

<Speed 96>It is said that these Dragons
once dwelled upon those isles.<Close>

<Speed 96>But several hundred years have
passed since settlers from the

Direa:
<Speed 96>The number of outsiders seeking
dragon lore and artifacts has
been increasing in recent years.<New>
You may find it more beneficial
to ask them about the Dragons,
as we are bound by the ancient
traditions...<Close>

Steena:
<Speed 96>...A Frozen Flame?<Delay 20>
That is something we have not
heard of in these parts.<New>
But, there is something
about flames in the oral
lore of our tribe.<New>
I do not know if this is
related to the flame you
speak of, but allow me to
share it with you.<Close>

In an old poem of El Nido there is
a phrase that refers to the evil
sealed away by the 6 Dragons.<New>
This phrase follows after it:<Delay 30>

story is unknown.<Close>

This was about a hundred years
ago, before immigrants from the
mainland came to El Nido.<New>
The now extinct Dragonians,
demi-humans, and our ancestors
lived on the main island and not
on the outlying islands.<Close>
<End of block>

<Text block 43><params: 1 32 0 4 0 4>
Direa:
<Speed 96>Yes, it was a time when dragon
worship was still common...<New>
Humans and demi-humans lived
together in the same community.<Delay 20>
It must be a little hard to
imagine today, but it is true...<New>
The planet's power collects

main island.<Close>

Direa:
<Speed 96>One such point is the
place we call the
Divine Dragon Falls.<New>
But its name has been
all but forgotten on

Our tribe and the
demi-humans are the
only ones that know
this name.<Close>

You may have encountered
