Centuries Lost

Hello there, stranger! What brings you here?

I'm a newcomer to these lands. Might I trouble you with some questions?

Hee, you talk funny. What do you want to know?

Do you know the way to Elluel? I could have sworn Mercedes's city was nearby...

What're you talking about? I've never heard of an 'Elluel' before. Mercedes, though! Wasn't that one of the five heroes who sealed away the Black Mage? Legend has it that he put a nasty curse on the heroes that put 'em all to sleep forever.

(Mercedes... The seal wasn't enough.) What of the Elves? Don't they have a town nearby?

What's an 'Elves?' Trust me, there aren't any other towns around here. I know every inch of the forest.

(I wish we'd had a proper farewell, Mercedes, my friend.) I see. I don't suppose you've heard of a place called Aurora?

Sorry. 'Fraid not.

(Master... Vieren... Lucia...) Then I am truly lost. Thank you for your time.

Wait, wait! Not so fast!

Talk to me again in a second. I'm remembering something...

What's the big hurry? I want to help!
