Where is an old woman to look next?

I have traveled all over Heiron and still have not found him.

Ohh, and my back aches terribly. What am I to do? Where am I to look now?

Player: "Who are you looking for?"

Forgive me, how rude of me. My name is Harmone, young Daeva. I'm looking for my father. But he left me long ago...left my mother before I was even born.

My mother, bless her spirit, always said he was the greatest, most handsome man she'd ever met. But to me, he'll always be just a heartless brute who abandoned his wife and daughter.

He never even wrote us a single letter after he left. He didn't even attend mother's funeral.

Player: "Yet you still search for him?"

Oh, young Daeva, I'm only trying to find him because I promised my mother I would. It was her dying wish for me to meet him. I have been searching for many days now.

I heard from some passing travelers that he was here in Heiron, so I came just as soon as I was able. But I've lost the one thing that will help him to remember me. It's just an old shoe, but he'll remember it. He'll remember my mother and me by it.

Young Daeva, will you find my lost shoe for me? Will you help an old woman find her long-lost father?

Player: Accept.

I have an idea where the shoe might be. On the way here, I stopped at Agairon Village for a few days to rest my tired legs.

I met a nice man named Noiyus there. He said he would help me, so I told him everything that I just told you. I even showed him the shoe.

Then when I told him that my father was a Daeva living in Sanctum, a strange look came over his eyes. Something wasn't right with him. When I woke up the next morning, the shoe was gone. I know he had something to do with it.

Player: "I'll find him."

Did you say Harmone? That old woman with the hunched back? I remember her.

She said she had journeyed a long way to find her father, so I let her stay here a few days to rest.

I remember that shoe, too. It was the only thing she had with her. But I didn't steal it! I clearly remember her wrapping it up in fabric and taking it with her. Why would I steal an old shoe?

Player: "Do you have it?"

That silly old goose actually said I stole her shoe? I feel insulted now that I think about it.

I gave her food and shelter. And instead of thanking me, she calls me a thief?

When you see her again, tell her to pay for the stew my wife made her and the bed we prepared for her. Tell her that! And if I do find that shoe, tell her I'll shove it where the sun doesn't shine!

Player: "Thanks for your time."

Oh dear, what did you say to that nice young man to make him so angry?

I told you that I stayed there for a night or two, not that he was a thief! He and his wife were so nice to me.

You should have handled that better, young Daeva. You just went and made a wretched mess of this whole matter, didn't you? I'll never find my father now.

Player: "But you said..."

Don't tell me what I said or didn't say! I may be old but I have a memory like a mountain. My mother's entire life will be in vain if I can't find that Shoe Box.

Since you made a fine mess for me, you will have to do something else to make up for it. I've been thinking about my journey here and realized I might have left the shoe in Jeiaparan Village.

I thought I told you that earlier. I took shelter at an abandoned house near a small store owned by Maximus. That must be where my shoe is at. Go there and take a look for me, would you?

Player: "Yes ma'am."

(This is a box big enough to hold a shoe.)

Player: "Wonder if it's inside...."

(There's a leather shoe inside. It is very old and tattered now but looks as if it were quite elegant in its prime.)

(It also looks like it might have belonged to someone very stylish and conscious of his appearance.)

Player: "She'll be glad to see this."

Oh, my aching knees, young Daeva. Everything aches these days.

I should have listened to mother and gone looking for father when I still had my youth. Oh, blessed hindsight, always there to mock me.

Did you find the shoe?

Player: "Is this it?"

This is it! You found it, young Daeva! You found it!

This is my father's shoe...I would recognize it anywhere. I stared at it for eighty years thinking about what he would be like.

I don't know how or why, but mother said this will prove that I am his daughter. Thank you, young Daeva. You've made an old woman very happy.
