Dialogue

Kio Dialogue

I still don't understand how the raft broke.
The storm must've been pretty strong...
What did you say?
I was lost in my thoughts...
A bizarre creature?
It was probably someone who saw a storm brewing over the sea...
Only if it weren't for the storm...
Then everything would've been perfect, and I would be out exploring the sea...
I have lost everything including my pride.

Kio Dialogue (Alt)

You need to watch out for storms...
It is the most terrifying monster of them all...

Black Spirit Completion

What's up with this? We looked all over the island for
the bizarre creature the old man spoke of!
But did we find anything?
No! No we didn't!
