Black Fire Sage Darkblaze

"Luluza sent you here? I wish he'd stop treating me like a child. He must have gotten concerned after I told him about the suspicious people outside."

"I miss the good old days. Luluza used to protect me from Faynichen's bullying. He probably joined the Kaslow Guard to protect others from even bigger bullies."

"I haven't seen him since he joined the Guard. I'm surprised he's become an officer!" Darkblaze exclaimed.

"There have been far fewer Black Fire Weasel and Stolak Assassin lurking about lately. Was that your doing?"

You explained your quest to Darkblaze.

"Ah, so it was Luluza. You probably find him difficult to reason with, right?"

"That's just how he is. He gets very intense when his friends are involved." Darkblaze smiled apologetically.

"It's those Stolak bandits again. I don't know why they keep coming over to disturb our peace. They also attacked Obsidian Ridge for no reason a while ago," Darkblaze grumbled.

"Without Faynichen's help, the temple would be dust by now."

"Can I ask a favor? I can't do anything about these brigands by myself."

"If you are willing to help, go to the east coast and find Ichibad. He knows how to get to Stolak Island."

"The appearance of the Miracle Maiden gave us hope of stopping the Day of Destiny. She visited every temple and altar on Saphael to explain her ideas and won everyone's acceptance. She's our best hope," Darkblaze explained.

"You said that Darsus hasn't seen her? You must be kidding. If Darsus hasn't seen her, how did Kagi see her heading towards Heirloom Peninsula? The Frost Temple is not that small. She couldn't have missed it on the way to Heirloom Peninsula..."

On second thought, perhaps she has her own reasons, Darkblaze mused.

"I know my words are even more confusing after hearing what he said. I really hate convincing others to believe me. Rather than listening to our opinions, perhaps you should suss out the truth for yourself."

"If you have time, go to Heirloom Peninsula and listen to more people's views. I think you will get a more balanced perspective and perhaps encounter the Truth at last." Darkblaze smiled sagely.
