Forgotten Sprite Ruica

You approach a weak-looking sprite.

"Sprite Messenger...?"

"Qayoff... D-did he send you?"

"And who might you be?"

You tell the sprite that Qayoff sent you.

"Qayoff, you say? Why does that name sounds so familiar...? I'm sorry that I can't talk longer, but I really need to find my master. He's been gone for far too long and I'm worried..."

"Perhaps you could go to the wooden bridge (344, 360) and look for him? And please do something about those awful Chaos Slimers!"

"The northwest corner of the Chaos Domain (290, 565) is simply crawling with them! Blech!"

"Did you find my master? Was he waiting for me at the bridge?"

Ruica doesn't look very well.

"My master really needs to come back soon or I... uh, I... Wait, what was I saying?" You doubt it'll do much good to speak with him in his current condition.

"There was something I needed to say, but... I can't remember..."

"Something about Berserk Blossoms, I think? That sounds so strange, yet familiar... Or is it the seeds that do...?"

Poor Ruica appears lost in thought. Or just lost.

With Berserk Blossom seeds as your only lead, you decide to collect a few and visit an expert.

"Master... Master, where are you...?" Ruica is even worse off than before.

You transfer some spirit energy to him and it appears to help a bit.

"Qayoff, is that you...? W-what happened?" He shakes off his prior confusion.

"Are you the Sprite Messenger from Saphael?" The fog obscuring Ruica's memory has noticeably lifted.

"I... I remember my purpose here now! Sprite Messenger, you must warn Saphael! The Chaos Domain is no natural formation. It was deliberately created!"

You can scarcely believe your ears.

"You can tell from the Berserk Blossom seeds that the monsters here are originally from Saphael."

"If it's proof you want, go to the southwestern region of the Chaos Domain (158, 184) and obtain the 'Chaos Crystals' from the Ravenous Mutant Ants there. Show them to someone versed in Saphaelean magic."

"The energy here is the same as that in Saphael!"
