<img src='img://__Quest_Mission.870201'/> You met Miayn and Larni to prove your skills, then met Rida, the Princess of Elin. <img src='img://__Quest_Mission.870201'/> As you've already noticed, this is a dangerous region. Only the strong last more than a day. But I hear that you're some kind of special mercenary, personally recruited by Rida herself. And I'm told you wield a special weapon. A pair of scythes, I believe? I'll tell you what: Show me that you can actually use those things, and I'll believe you can be of some use to us. <NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I can do that."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> I'm told that a true blade expert can cut down multiple enemies in one motion. Go over to those training dummies, and show me Double Shear. After you demonstrate Double Shear, I'll feel more confident recommending you to Larni for final approval. Administrator Miayn has notified me of your arrival, and recommended you highly. So you're in. Welcome to the Honor Guard! Now you need to learn about what we do here. Before...well...all this, we protected Princess Rida, and spent our time during the Argon War procuring and escorting supplies. En route back to Pora Elinu with supplies, we were hit by orcan raiders. We had no choice but to run, and we lost a lot of soldiers in the process.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"You did your best."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Thank you for saying so. But our duties have changed. Now we guard the refugees from the Lake of Tears, and wait for the order to return to Pora Elinu. Miayn says you were recruited personally by Rida, for your skill with those scythes. So show me. Attack one of these dummies with your Grim Strike. After you demonstrate Grim Strike I, you can report to Princess Rida at the Princess' Quarters to receive your mission. You must be the mercenary that Larni was talking about... I know that there are a lot of rumors about who you are, and how I personally recruited you...but let them believe what they want to. We both know where you came from...and why you're here. So let's put your skills to use. The area between here and Pora Elinu is swarming with orcans, and we have lost all contact with Pora Elinu. Please find a way to drive out the orcans and get us back to Pora Elinu.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I will do my best."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Thank you! Speak to Tuaha about any supplies you might need. Just show him what you're capable of, and he'll give you what you need. And remember: We're counting on you! Supplies are limited! Everything here was recovered from the woods by supply soldiers who risked their lives. We don't know when or if we will get more supplies. I don't care who sent you. If I let you take whatever supplies you want, then you go out there and get yourself killed, someone who really needs them has to do without! But prove to me that you can handle yourself, and I'll give you what you need—no more, no less. <NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I understand."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Okay... Fine. Go over to one of those dummies, and show me your Spiral Barrage. If you can pull that off, I'll know that I'm not just throwing away valuable supplies. I, uh. Well. Yes, I think you're perfectly capable of defending yourself. Here, take these. They're the best I've got. Don't let them go to waste.
