"Don't you find the flowers and plants here odd?"

"The mutations happened through no fault of the creatures themselves. All we can do is try to keep the damage to a minimum."

"We must destroy them before their population grows," Linda said with a sigh.

"Thank you so much! This will help slow the rate at which the monsters reproduce."

"However, we must step up our efforts against the mutated monsters if we hope to stop them from contaminating other creatures."

"Can you help me destroy more of these annoying monsters?"

"Those terrible monsters reproduce incredibly quickly, and they negatively impact the once-beautiful Aurawhisp Hamlet."

"You'll need courage and wisdom if you hope to best those beasts and save our fair home."

"The mutant monsters can kill with just one blow. Watch yourself; don't get too cocky!"

"Well done! You wiped out those monsters without breaking a sweat!" Linda shook your hand, impressed.

"We have no choice but to destroy those monsters before they ruin this beautiful land."

"Can you continue to help me protect the ecological balance here? It won't be an easy journey."

"The monsters are reproducing much too quickly. They'll soon populate (and like destroy) the entirety of Aurawhisp Hamlet!"

"Destroying those ecological threats will take massive amounts of courage and wisdom. Some luck would be nice, too."

"Mutant monsters strike with deadly force and have little regard for their own safety. Use the utmost caution!"

"My name is Linda, and I am assigned to the Aurawhisp Hamlet."

"We have no choice but to destroy those monsters. They are on the verge of destroying this pristine place!"

"Their eradication won't be an easy feat. Will you continue to help me preserve the ecological balance of this beautiful land?"

"In the meantime, please accept this small token of gratitude from the locals. I don't know where these map fragments will lead, but if you piece them together, you're bound to find something."

"Now, what could Beru be up to...?"

Linda appears a bit distracted, and you gently tap her on the shoulder to get her attention.

Her body stiffens and, before you can get a word in, the ordinarily fearless Demon Hunter undergoes a mini freak-out. "What's that?! Who's there?! What do you want?! Oh, it's you! Erm... I mean... I knew you were standing there this whole time!"

"I see. Hand it over so I can take a closer look."

Still somewhat distracted despite her brief episode, Linda absentmindedly snatches the ore from your hand.

She looks it over for a few seconds and then, as if a switch has been thrown, her eyes widen to the size of dinner plates.

"What in Odin's name is this? You say you found it on the body of a monster? This energy I sense... it doesn't feel right. I think you'd better leave this with me for the time being. It was wise of you to bring it to me when you did."

(You give the letter to Lund.)

"What... What is this drivel? And... it has my name on it!"

Lund nervously rushes over to you like a mad person and snatches at the letter.

It looks like it really is hers. That's surprising.

"That's right, it's mine!" I wrote it when I first finished my apprenticeship."

"I... I was young! You have a wonderful imagination when you're young. Even if it was a girl, what's the big deal? Heh..."

Lund says, smiling sheepishly. She's not very good at concealing her emotions. You can tell she still holds that love close to her heart.
