Part 89: Side Story: Daughter of the Dark God (I)



Music: A Settlement in the Red Bluffs



We're all the way back at Bolderfall for this side story.



I have plenty of confidence in my sword. Countless battlefields have I conquered, yet it was only when I returned from the field of war that I realized it...



And that woman... Oh, how can I ever get her to glance in my direction?



The quest title says it all, really. All we have to do is try and hook up this hapless swordsman to this ordinary-looking red-eyed woman.



.........



Ahh... I feel like I've been searching all my life for that one perfect person...

Our options are a bit limited here. We have no path actions with Lyblac, while we have only one with Alphas...





Alphas is a five-rank challenge, so he's no issue now (Olberic and H'aanit should be able to handle as high as eight-ranks with ease, and probably beat tens if H'aanit has the right monsters), but Alphas does have a nasty trick up his sleeve with Blinding Dust.



Nothing a good axe to the skull can't fix, however.



The solution to our problem is, like it always is, inflicting random acts of violence.



I have been searching for some time for the perfect person...



.........



What!?



Hah... Yes.



Yes... His devotion to me would be complete.



And when I find this perfect man...







Farewell then... Heh...







Unfortunately, we weren't able to make a love connection today. Hopefully Lyblac will find the man of her dreams some day...!



No matter what she says, I have no doubt that she is my other half!



It looks like we aren't quite done yet, however. Next time, we'll help Alphas find true love...preferably elsewhere.
