You there, Daeva. Will you help me?

I am attempting to find a cure for Aether addiction, and I need to procure some rare ingredients.

Hopefully one such as yourself does not suffer from this addiction? So many do....

Player: "No, I don't."

Hmm, so you were actually intelligent enough not to go inside Taloc or eat Taloc's Fruit without proper preparation. Incredible!

Anyway, the reason I am still speaking with you is that I need you to run an errand. I heard a rumor going around Gelkmaros about a great Daeva who returned unharmed from inside Taloc.

Apparently this person has done remarkable things in other lands, and is fated for more greatness here in Balaurea. Can help me find this Daeva named Player? Or are you too busy huffing Aether?

Player: "That's me, actually."

Oh REALLY? Hah! Fine, I'll play along.

O mighty Player, I believe I can cure Aether addiction by utilizing a poison from insects inside Taloc. The stronger the poison, the stronger the cure, and the most poisonous insect is the Queen Mosqua.

Of course you know this already, great and powerful Player. All you need do is kill it and bring me the Mosqua's Fluid.

Now, would you like to attempt this and fail, or would you rather go find the real Player for me?

Player: Accept.

If you can return with Mosqua's Fluid, then I suppose I must believe you are the Player I've heard so much about. Or else you got Player to do it for you.

Either way, I get what I need--poisonous fluid extracted from the Queen Mosqua.

And then I will be able to help poor, sun-addled souls like yourself.

Player: "Look, I'm telling you..."

I didn't expect to see you again. I thought you would have returned to Asmodae in disgrace.

But I suppose if you're brazen enough to claim to be a great Daeva like Player, you must have no shame to begin with.

Did you at least get Player to kill Queen Mosqua for you? It's none of my concern as long as I obtain the Mosqua's Fluid I need.

Player: "I should pour this on your head."

Did you even try to fulfill my request, mighty imposter? Or was that even beyond your limited abilities?

All I require is Mosqua's Fluid. If you can't get it, get the real Player to recover the substance from inside Taloc. Then I can ease your madness.

Player: "I'm not the one who's mad."

Is that really...that's...to get that you must have... Astonishing!

The Aether condensed in this tiny amount of fluid is immense. By combining this with an antidote, I can now manufacture a cure for Aether addiction.

I hope you were grateful to Player for doing you this favor. I certainly am. Please communicate my thanks when you two next meet.
