Description:
Go to Sanctum and talk with Kreon. Throw the ring into the fountain in the Sky Garden. Talk with Demokritos. Demokritos was very sad after his missing wife's ring. Throw the ring into the fountain of the Sky Garden, as he asked.
Summary:
You found a tarnished ring in the belly of a hunted animal, and Demokritos recognized it as belonging to his missing wife, Willena, and took this as confirmation of her death.

To help ease his grief, he asked you to go to Sanctum, ask Kreon to write a memorial poem, and throw the ring into the fountain.

Full quest's text:
Wait! Can I have a look at that?

I mean the ring. Yes, that's the one!

That's...she...my wife had a ring just like it. May I see it?.

Player: "Of course!"

This is definitely my wife's ring. I mined the gem in those hills, and the Sanctum Handicrafters set it in the band with both of us watching.

Player, who gave you this ring? Was it a tall woman, with light hair?

Please, tell me!


Player: "I found it inside an animal...."

Willena. My poor Willena. What has happened to you, my heart?

She could not bear to see our home like this, and went to to see her parents in Agairon Village. This ring proves she will not be coming back.

Oh-oh! My poor Willena...to think that you are no longer in the world....


Player: "Here, this is yours. I can't keep it."

No, I can't. Were I to keep it, each glance would break my heart into ever smaller pieces.

I knew this day would come eventually. She did not ascend with me, remained Human, but I loved her so.

It's time to say goodbye. The ring should rest forever in her favorite place, Sanctum. On your next visit, will you take it there for me?


Player: Accept.

Every time we went there, she insisted we stroll in the Sky Garden, to hear Kreon.

He brought her so much joy, his words are the only fitting memorial. Tell him what has happened, then throw the ring into the fountain.

It will bring solace to her soul. I will think of her one last time, then move on. I believe that's what she would want.


Player: "I will see to it."

There are many things to appreciate and remember.

People ask me for poems to express their gratitude, memory and love.

Did you come to ask me to write a poem too, Player?

Player: "It's not for me...."

Oh, what a heart-breaking story.

I am just sorry that such deep love will be never rewarded.

I will recite a special memorial to the ring's owner, while you throw the ring into the fountain.


Player: "Let's do this."

When she left, I had my duty. I knew she would return someday, but I should have realized that her needs were more important than mine.

I should have told her more often that I loved her. I should have traveled to Agairon with her. She never asked for much, and it was within my power to give it.

Now that she is gone, I feel her absence more keenly than any other thing in my life.


Player: "Kreon and I have done as you asked."

Thank you so much. My wife's soul must have been happy.

I can now set his weight aside, and remember only the happy times we shared.

This is a token of my gratitude. Please take it.
