Opening 12
.
Lucius and Paimon approach the Sumeru City gates having just finished another wild adventure over in the desert.
Paimon: Man... all that problem solving in the underground areas really done Paimon's head in.
Lucius: At least, Jeht, Jebrael and Tirzad actually helped in solving them.
Paimon: It's still a shame about what happened to Jebrael. And Paimon hopes Jeht will be okay by herself.
Lucius: She said she was going to find the Tanit tribe to find more answers about Jebrael... and then she said she'll take her father's axe and her mother's research notes to the Eternal Oasis... whatever that is.
Paimon: ...
Lucius: She's a tough one... I'm sure we'll see her again someday.
As they arrive at the gates, they spot a certain Archon...
Lucius: Nahida?
Nahida: Oh, hey there. It's been a while, hasn't it? What have you two been up to?
Nahida greets as she stops and turns to face the two.
Lucius: Adventuring stuff... and we just came back from a wild adventure.
Nahida: Hehe, seems like you've been enjoying yourselves.
Lucius: Guess you could say that.
Paimon: How about you? What are you up to now?
Nahida: I'm just out looking for some leads while getting some fresh air. I noticed that I have some blurry memories after saving Irminsul. I almost feel like there's still something extremely important I need to do... But I can't remember what it is.
Lucius: ...
Paimon: Don't worry, we'll help you remember.
Lucius: Maybe I can help.
Nahida: Thank you so much. Since you're willing to help, I have something I'd like to show you.
Nahida takes out a strange green coloured crystal.
Lucius: Huh... where'd you find it?
Nahida: I found it in the Sanctuary of Surasthana, but I have no recollection of it whatsoever. It's filled with pure elemental power that is quite similar to mine, but yet it's also a little different... It's very likely that it's connected to my foggy memory, but I can't figure out what it is.
Lucius: ("Probably something that Greater Lord Rukkhadevata left behind...")
Paimon: Lucius, any ideas?
Lucius: No... got no clue but it is rather peculiar.
Paimon: Hmm...
Lucius: I still have some extra energy in me to help you out.
Nahida: Thanks. I didn't mean to trouble you again.
Suddenly, a Hydro Fungus approaches the gate, alerting the mercenary nearby.
Layth: Hey, get out! You shouldn't be around here!
The fungus makes a sound back in response.
Layth: I'm sorry, Lesser Lord Kusanali. Fungi don't usually come near this place. Last warning, get out before I kick you out! You hear!?
