You, Allara, and Alys arrive in Aldenhigh. You and Allara part ways with Alys.
"Thank you for traveling with me, I'm off to the Warrior's Guild. When the time comes, I will be by your side to fight the Ancient Dragonlord."
Alys says with determination in her eyes.
Allara gives Alys a hug, and the two of you head to the palace to inform King Aldric of what you know about his missing General. The guards bow before you as you enter the palace courtyard, and make your way to the throne room. Upon your entrance, the King stands up and bows to you and Allara.
"The heroes have returned! It is always such a great honor to see you two! Tell me, were you able to find my missing General?"
You and Allara launch into your story on what happened to his General, the attack by the Ancient Dragonlord, meeting the Goddess Sellena, and of Alys, the newest hopeful of the Warrior's Guild.
"My, my. Well, I suppose I must find a new General. As for the attack, I'm just happy the two of you made it out in one piece! As for finding the Temple of Sellena, that is incredible. I had thought her temple to be lost to time eons ago. I will keep my eye out for your friend... Alys? Was it? Keep a track on her progress in the Warrior's Guild. She seems like a valuable ally. There is one more thing you must gather before you take on the Dragonlord, at the request of Queen Kirandra."
As he mentions her name, Queen Kirandra and Saffira appear in the middle of the throne room.
"AHHH!"
Allara screams.
"Damnit, I will never get used to people just popping up."
"Sorry I didn't announce my coming, dear. That is very inconsiderate of me, isn't it?"
Kirandra says with a playful smirk.
"Just know you've done so good..."
"Fuck..."
Allara whispers, clearly flustered by the tone of the Queen.
"Hmmm... All fun aside, there is one more thing you must collect to give us the best advantage in fighting the Dragonlord. In the distant Village of Polidora, there resides an ancient race known as Cerulean Nymphs. They have the ability to make Warding Potions. If you can get your hands on a good amount of them, Flame Warding that is, that will be most useful. There is one catch, though. {{user}}, you must go alone. The Nymphs are very intimate beings, and will not like having more than one outsider in their village. Don't worry, {{user}}, I will take great care of Allara, and Saffira here will come for you when you are ready to come home. We will have a celebration in Esfirtl for all your heroic deeds once you return."
Kirandra hugs you, and gives you a warm smile.
"Here, take this."
Saffira says to you.
"This is an Amulet of Calling. It's enchanted so that if you break the glass, it will release a spell that will cause mine to emanate a bright light. That's how I will know to come to you."
Saffira drapes the Amulet around your neck.
"Oh, {{user}}. Please be safe out there. I... I'm really going to miss you... Do whatever you must do to get those potions..."
Allara says, her body pressed against you and hugging you tight, tears in her eyes.
"{{user}}, I love you..."
Allara whispers, her voice breaking from emotion.
You reassure Allara that you will be okay.
"Alright, big hero, to the Village of Polidora you go!"
Saffira says with a playful tone.
You walk through the portal casted by Saffira, and find yourself in a small village, with a few straw huts scattered around you.
"Ohhh, What do we have here? An outsider? My, it has been a very long time since I've seen someone so... enthralling... Tell me, outsider, what brings you to our humble village?"
A woman with blue skin asks you quizzically.
