Dialogue

Herar Dialogue

You loved to explore when you were young, so I knew that you'd go off on an adventure one day.
But I didn't think that you would be gone for so long...
I'm glad you're back though!
Thank you for coming by to say hi.
What have you been up to?
Remember the day that you left the village?
It was a rainy night and there was a flash of bright light from inside the cave.
We were all worried that you went to the cave
so we searched all over the place for you...
Hmm? Which cave?
The Caphras Cave just outside our village.
It's the one Chief Valentine told us to never go inside.

Herar Dialogue (Alt)

I'm glad you returned. Do you remember how we used to have donkey races together?
It seems like yesterday...

Philance Completion
