Now that I have my father's shoe, I can finally meet him with some purpose.

But there is a little bit of a problem still...like that Noiyus said. I don't have much Kinah on me. I spent more than I bargained for just trying to get here.

To be honest with you, young Daeva, I had to borrow from some people along the way...some rather unfriendly people.


Oh dear, can you imagine what my father will say when I show up on his doorstep after eighty years and ask to borrow Kinah?

He'll despise me, young Daeva. I can't meet him with this debt hanging over me.

Can you help an old woman yet again? I promise this will be the last time....




Oh, thank you! Thank you! I have a plan that may get me out of this trouble...if you'll help.

There are plenty of Platinum Ores near the fortress. I don't need much...maybe ten should be enough to pay off my debt.

And.... I hate to be a bother, young Daeva, but I could use a few more Kinah to get me to Sanctum.... Maybe buy myself a little something to eat along the way.




Bless your spirit, young Daeva. Bless your spirit.

I don't know what I would have done had you not come around to help. I'm so glad I can count on you to bring me ten Platinum Ores...and some extra Kinah, too.

I'm sure my father will reward you handsomely for helping his daughter...that's what fathers do.




Arieluma, young Daeva.

Ohhh, my aching bones...they're as brittle as bread crumbs. Did you bring back what I asked for?


That was quick! But...where are they? Your hands are empty!

Why must you lie to an old woman? Why can't you do a simple task like bring me Platinum Ores and Kinah?

Do you think it's funny hurting an old defenceless woman?
(Wiping away her tears) Thank you, young Daeva. You have made this old woman so very happy.
