Curse this darkness! I can't read or write orders when the darkness sets in, and we don't get much wood for the fires.

I know, I know...the darkness makes us stronger. I've heard it all as a youngster. Those arrogant Elyos sure have it easy, though, bathing in sunlight and never struggling like me, just to make out Ulgorn's handwriting.

I have a temporary solution, though. It's not the sun, but at least Guheitun won't complain about me using all the firewood.

Player: "What's your idea?"

Look around: Which creature in this environment catches your eye? Either the Hill Sparkie or the Highland Sparkle, right?

It's their glowing tails. The insects use them to attract prey and mates. But I can make use of that natural luminescence, too.

Player: "Don't the tails go dark when they die?"

They don't go dark right away. In fact, their abdomens stay alight for several hours after you sever them from the thorax.

But I'm sure the proper names of bug parts don't concern you, and I have a heap of paperwork in any case. Player, I need you to catch a Hill Sparkie or two as well as a few Highland Sparkles and gather their Glowing Spheres for me. I'll sort my paperwork and await your return.

Player: Accept.

Great. Thank you, Player.

Remember, you can only get a Glowing Sphere from a Hill Sparkie or a Highland Sparkle. I should think three lights will suffice for the reports I have to get filed.

Please hurry. I'm behind schedule as it is!

Player: "I'll get right on it."

Good, you're back.

These reports really should be up in the village already. Tobu is going to be furious.

Show me the spheres you've gathered.

Player: "Here's what I found."

What is this, some kind of joke? Don't tell me this is all you came back with...

Player, I didn't ask for much...

Soon it'll be dark, and Guheitun will put out the fire. Then how do you think I'll finish the reports?

Player: "I'll be back soon."

These are perfect! Thank you, Player.

Finally I can get those blasted reports finished. Then maybe Tobu and Ulgorn will let me do some real raiding!
