Recollection

Excuse me? Shammos told you what?!

No way. There's no way Shammos could know about Rex. Rex appeared years after Shammos lost his memory. The memory erasure magic couldn't be weakening like that.

And I'm sure they didn't know each other before that, so how...? Wait, can they communicate with one another after transforming into Hoblins? No, that can't be.

What happened to Rex the Hoblin King?

Are you sure you want to know?

Very well. I will tell you. Rex was once a human... a famous hunter, actually. He battled all sorts of evil in El Nath. That got him the attention of an evil organization called the Tarheeds.

The Tarheeds were a menace that terrorized all of El Nath. One day, while Rex was out hunting, they attacked Rex's house and murdered his wife.

Rex vowed vengence and stormed into the Tarheed base all alone. He couldn't take them all at once, and he barely escaped with his life. After that, he disappeared. Many years later, Hoblins appeared in El Nath. They attacked the Tarheeds and took their place. Their leader... was Rex.

No one knows how he became a Hoblin. All we know was that he'd lost all his humanity. He was full of hatred, and after he destroyed the Tarheeds, his next target was all of El Nath. The other Elders and I joined forces with Adventurers and fought a difficult battle. We won, but lost countless friends in the process. We sealed Rex in an ancient glacier by Heinrich, the great magician. Rex is as good as dead now.

And that is the end of it. Now go tell Shammos to calm down and keep quiet. I don't want him stirring people up with needless fear. Also, if I were you, I wouldn't trust everything Shammos says. There's a reason he's locked up like that...

Good. Pretend you never heard that name.

So what'd you find out?

Robeira told me the whole story. Rex lost all his powers and is sealed up. You don't have to worry about him.

I... I see. But I'm still worried... I feel like something is going to happen. No, I KNOW something will happen. In any case, thanks friend. I'll call for you again if I need anything.

Also, keep our friendship a secret. The 3rd Job Instructors are kind of close-minded. I don't think they'd approve.

Please stop Shammos speaking to others about this.
