[Kikimora]
A witch who is always singing with a sad expression.
Lost Volcano Valley Quest
Location: Near the Lost Volcano Valley

La-la!
What's this? An adventurer has arrived after an endless journey, eyes always on the horizon.
Adventurer, where are you going?
La-la-la-la-la!
If you find not your destination, might you stay and help the poor witch [Kikimora] for a little while?
[Ruric] is [Kikimora]'s beloved. His memory is fading due to the pain he endured during his escape from the horrible [Lost Volcano Valley].
Fa-la-la...
~
Please... Adventurer...
Find his [Broken Axe].
It was swallowed mercilessly by a [Volcanic Pterosaur] in the [Volcanic Wasteland]...

Thank you.
La-la!
The singing witch [Kikimora] gives you her heartfelt appreciation.

La-la! The world is alive with beautiful song...

Fa-la-la-la!
Though you have returned the axe, she still has no way to recover [Ruric]'s mighty shield.
How sad for [Ruric].
But it's sadder still for [Kikimora], who cries endlessly as she watches over him...
~
[Kikimora] the sad, singing witch asks another small favor of you.
She says she won't be sad anymore if you can find the 50 [Broken Shield Fragments] that were swallowed by [Ash Basilisks] and [Lava Basilisks].

Oh! Thank you!
[Kikimora] finally has a smile on her face...
But...
La-la! [Volcano Valley] is a sad and frightening place.
The giants and dragons are roaming freely, bringing with them violence and chaos.
[Kikimora] sings songs about the dangers of this place.
She wants to tell you more but it is not yet time.
La-la-la!
My dear adventurer... Please come back to see [Ruric] and [Kikimora] later.

La-la! The world is alive with beautiful song...

Horizon-watching adventurer!
You came back after all.
[Kikimora]'s dearest [Ruric] has begun to remember since you left.
And it's all thanks to you!
La-la-la!
Thank you so very, very much.
~
You should talk with [Ruric] now.
La-la!
He has many things to tell you.

A glint of suspicion shines in this adventurer's eyes...
[Ruric] remembers nothing after the moment he was captured in [Volcano valley].
La-la-la!
You must listen to him and try to understand. Please...

The busy adventurer takes time to talk to me! La-la-la...

Now it's time to tell you about the witch [Kikimora]. She only sings and recites sad songs and poems. Fa-la-la!
[Kikimora] is immortal. Her powers are greater than the passage of time itself.
[Kikimora]'s beloved [Ruric] came here from far away Scandinavia in search of adventure.
[Kikimora] travelled alongside [Ruric], and they fell in love.
She vowed to follow him for the rest of her life.
But her solemn vow was not as immortal as she was.
Unlike [Ruric], [Kikimora] sees that the world has changed.
She worries that the strength of [Kikimora]'s power could be fragmenting [Ruric]'s memory.
[Kikimora] uses her power to preserve [Ruric]'s youth.
~
Horizon-watching adventurer...
Will you perform this favor for Kikimora to aid her one and only love [Ruric]?
Please make 100 [Aroma Base].
She can use them to make a perfume that will restore [Ruric]'s memory.
(Hint: [My Info] -> [Skills] -> Quest Crafting.)

Thank you, thank you!
[Kikimora] expresses her appreciation!
La-la-la!

The busy adventurer takes time to talk to me! La-la-la...

Perfume. Beautiful, fragrant perfume. With a little help from this, [Ruric] will regain his memory.
It's finished!
Nicely done!
La-la!
~
Adventurer, please spray this [Healing Perfume] in [Ruric]'s eye.

[Ruric] has the face of a dreamer.
[Ruric]'s memory is returning.
Thanks to the scent of [Kikimora]'s beautiful perfume, [Ruric]'s mind is finally at peace.

The busy adventurer takes time to talk to me! La-la-la...

[Ruric] wants to talk to you again.
His memory is slowly returning to him.
~
Adventurer, please go talk to [Ruric].
Help him recover his memory.
And please take good care of him.

And you return, horizon-watching adventurer... La-la-la...
[Ruric] is looking for his old friends. Their names are Eriksson and Freydis.
Brother and sister, they were once the bravest Vikings around.
But they died long ago. Time has marched on. They exist now only in ancient tales. But you might be able to learn a little of them from the living.
La-la-la.

The busy adventurer takes time to talk to me! La-la-la...

Oh...
So time has passed. About 1000 years. La-la-la...
Please do this witch a favor...
Do not tell [Ruric].
Poor [Ruric].
Though he had already lost most of his men to the giants, he continued to fight.
They captured him.
Even poor [Kikimora], who always followed him on his adventures, was locked up.
[Ruric] and [Kikimora] didn't know when they would get a chance to escape.
One day, the fire dragons lost control. In the chaos, we ran away.
~
Now [Ruric] only cares about taking revenge on the fire dragons. Fa-la-la-la!
Please talk to him.

Ah, Ah...
Did you find the portrait?
[Kikimora] is very sad these days...
La-la...

The busy adventurer takes time to talk to me! La-la-la...

No! [Kikimora] can't stand that [Ruric] cares for someone else.
She wishes that terrible portrait was never found!
But it's what [Ruric] wants, so [Kikimora] will help. La-la-la...
~
The [White Wolf]'s hide contains magical power beyond our understanding.
Can you help me gather 30 pieces of [White Wolf Hide], adventurer?
HINT: You can find the White Wolves to the east of Ostersund.

Thank you.
She is sad, but thank you anyway.
[Kikimora] is crying, but it's because she's happy.

The busy adventurer takes time to talk to me! La-la-la...

With the help of [Kikimora]'s magic, the portrait is restored.
~
[Kikimora] is crying. She asks you one favor of you.
She asks that you go talk to [Ruric] again.
She hopes he is well.

You came back, adventurer!
Kikimora has another favor to ask of you. It's not for Kikimora, it's for her beloved [Ruric].
You must help him!
Ah?
Th-the portrait was of [Kikimora] all along?
You see, [Kikimora] is completely invisible to [Ruric].
She wonders why...
[Kikimora] is sad.
Her power as a witch overcomes time itself, so why is she invisible to certain people?
La-la-la... [Kikimora] is sad.

The busy adventurer wants to talk to me? La-la.

[Kikimora] wants to stop [Ruric] from going into battle again.
But [Ruric] can't see [Kikimora]. At the very least, she wants to find a weapon for her beloved [Ruric].
La-la! Please help her!
~
She can restore [Ruric]'s axe with [Refined Platinum].
Please make 25 pieces of [Refined Platinum].

(Hint: [My Info] -> [Skills] -> Quest Crafting.)

Thank you adventurer!
La-la-la-la!
[Kikimora] thanks you from the bottom of her heart.
Her voice is just quiet with sadness.

The busy adventurer wishes to talk to me? La-la!

[Ruric]'s axe is repaired.
[Kikimora] can now give him the axe and be happy knowing that he's safe.
~
Please give this [Ancient Viking's Axe] to [Ruric].
But you must be sure not to tell him that it's from [Kikimora].
If you aren't careful, [Ruric]'s mind could shatter again.

La-la-la. Oh, poor [Ruric].
Kikimora can feel his mind weaken.
[Kikimora] wonders if there's anyone who can cure his mental anguish.

The busy adventurer wants to talk to me? La-la.

Oh! Poor [Ruric]! And poorer [Kikimora]!
It's so sad. Even [Kikimora] can't help [Ruric] anymore.
La-la! [Salamander] is the leader of the fire dragons, and the one who locked up and tortured [Ruric]. This is the source of [Ruric]'s anguish.
~
[Salamander] is protecting something in his nest.
Please kill him.
As proof of his death, bring the sad witch [Salamander's Armor Ornament].
With that, she can cure [Ruric]'s trauma.
Adventurer, [Kikimora] asks this with an especially sad voice.

Oh-oh! The sad witch is hurt.
Oh how her heart aches...!
[Kikimora] is in pain.
She can feel with every fiber of her being that [Salamander] is dead.
She wonders why it makes [Kikimora] suffer so much...
Fa-la-la... Kikimora is curious.
Something that Salamander was protecting has been destroyed.
The name of that thing was... Oriharukon Sensor.
Ahh! Kikimora can't even sing anymore!
My songs... They... won't come out.

The busy adventurer wants to talk to me?

La-la...
Now [Kikimora] can remembers.
[Salamander]'s death returned [Kikimora]'s memory.
Ah... but [Kikimora] is sad...
She can sing again, but she doesn't know what to do about her sorrowful heart.
[Kikimora]'s soul was ignored for so long after she died. But then she was caught by people from [Atlantis]. Since that day, she has only been visible to [the people of Atlantis] and [their descendants].
Though she has become a pitiable creature, [Kikimora] is happy because she can still see Ruric.
~
Poor [Ruric] misses [Kikimora] dearly. Fa-la! But wait... It is possible to make [Kikimora] visible to him for a short period of time.
Please make 50 [Red Aroma Bases] and bring them to the sad witch. These are the necessary materials.
It's very important. La-la-la...

(Hint: [My Info] -> [Skills] -> Quest Crafting.)

Thank you.
La-la!
[Kikimora] can sing happy songs once again.
But [Ruric] misses her again already.
But... you can see [Kikimora]?
You surely have the blood of [Atlantis] in you.
Yet, the sad witch does not hate you.
She knows that you're a good person because you've done so much for both [Ruric] and [Kikimora].

The busy adventurer wants to talk to me? La-la!

This [Red Perfume] will enhance [Ruric]'s vision for awhile.
Poor [Kikimora] can't be seen by anybody, but this will allow her image to appear to [Ruric] for a short time.
~
Thank you, adventurer.
Please give this [Red Perfume] to [Ruric]. Don't tell him that [Kikimora] can only be seen by certain beings or you and [Ruric] will become enemies. La-la-la...
Oh, ooh... Sad [Kikimora] will stay by [Ruric] and sing songs for him.
