So I'm ordered to help Jekab with his request. It seems we have a few things to do first. First, we have to get some Cooking Supplies & Ingredients.
"So Jekab, where's the store in town?"
[Twilight]
"Oh I can show you, I know the exact way there."
[Jekab]
You follow Jekab into town, going through his home Quarter to the Merchant Quarters. Here you make your way past a few buildings. All labeled with the symbol. There was an Armor & Weapon, Magic & Potions, and lastly a General Store. We stopped at the General store hoping they'd have at least a bit of what we needed.
"Hello, there young ones. How may I help you today?"
[Shopkeeper]
"We're looking for the things on this list, by any chance do you have them."
[Twilight handing over the list of supplies]
"Hmm, give me a second let me see."
[Shopkeeper going back to check his inventory]
"So it seems we have the Cooking Utensils and Wood, but I would have the good items. I suggest visiting the farmer for those."
[Shopkeeper handing back the list to Twilight]
"Okay I will take it, it'll help either way."
[Twilight]
[Items Acquired]
1 Cooking Utensil
25/25 Wood
[Items lost]
150 Gemstones
Once we left the General Store Jekab showed me the way to the Farmers home. When we arrived there seemed to be no one but farm animals. Till a man appeared from the shed near the house. He had some deer parts so I knew he wasn't an Elf like the rest of the villagers.
"Hello, there is my young fellow Nightwalker. What brings you to my farm today."
[Farmer]
"Oh you're a Nightwalker too, that makes sense, but I thought we were all lions."
[Twilight, a little confused]
"Oh, no young one, only a few of us are special enough to be given that essence."
[Farmer]
"Can we get back to the quest please."
[Temti, getting a little annoyed]
"Oh yeah, we were wondering if you have the rest of the things on this list."
[Twilight, handing over the list]
"Well I hope I do, I am running a farm after all."
[Farmer, as they review the list]
[Item Acquired]
25/25 Eggs
5/5 Meat
5/5 Fish
[Item Lost]
100 Gemstones
"Thank you for your help, Mrs. Farmer."
[Jekab]
"You're welcome, and young Nightwalker, stop by again someday, I would love to help you know more about our race."
[Farmer]
"Thank you."
[Twilight]
With the list done we headed back to Jekab's home. When we got there we rushed to put the supplies away as a surprise to his mom. Next, we needed to try and find her lost necklace.
"Moms has been sad since she lost it, it was the last thing she had from dad."
[Jekab]
"Where is your father anyway?"
[Temti]
"He..he tried to stop the Cults attack before you came..they didn't hold back."
[Jekab]
"Oh...I'm sorry to hear that."
[Twilight]
"It's okay, he taught me to always be strong and keep my head up high. One day I'll be a great knight like him."
[Jekab]
So we began searching for the house. After a few hours passed with no result, we were about to give up. We had checked every room in the home, searched the front and backyards, and we even went through the kitchen cabinets. We were checking one final place, his father's study, and began searching the shelves and books.
"So do you think we'll find anything here, especially?"
[Temti]
"Well, this was the last room I saw mom in with the necklace."
[Jekab]
"Wait..so you mean to tell me we searched everywhere else that was most likely not where she lost it first."
[Temti, pausing from the search, annoyed.]
"Well, mom doesn't come in here often so I didn't think about it."
[Jekab]
"Yeah, you didn't think."
[Temti]
"Leave him be Temti."
[Twilight, removing a book from the shelf.]
[A light glimmers in the back of the shelf]
"Hmm, is this it Jekab?"
[Twilight, holding up a necklace]
"You found it!"
[Jekab]
"Finally, thank god, I was not about to Jeep searching after this. I am exhausted."
[Temti, dropping to the floor]
Now that we found the necklace there was only one thing left. Convincing Jekab's mom that he should join us when the time is right anyway. So we headed into the kitchen, it was almost lunchtime Jekab said and she'd probably be about to see the supplies we bought.
"Oh hey boys, how are you today? Almost ready to eat?"
[Jekabs Mom]
"Yeah, we are!"
[Temti, eager to eat]
"Don't be rude, Temti."
[Twilight]
"Oh he's not, I just need to go buy a few things and I'll have everything ready in a bit."
[Jekabs Mom, patting Temti on the head about to head out]
"Don't worry mom, we already went and bought some things."
[Jekab, with confidence]
"Oh, you did, did you, what did you buy?"
[Jekabs Mom heading back into the kitchen]
"Yes, we bought meat, fish, eggs, and more."
[Jekab, proudly]
"Oh well thank you boys, I'll whip something right up."
[Jekabs Mom]
"Oh and we've got another surprise too. Look at what we found."
[Jekab, handing the lost necklace over to his mother]
"W....wh..where did you find it?"
[Jekabs Mom, almost at tears]
"It was in the study."
[Jekab]
"I looked up and down that place and could never find it, thank you."
[Jekabs Mom, giving him a loving hug]
"Why's it so special anyway?"
[Temti]
"It belonged to my late husband."
[Jekabs Mom]
She began to tell us more about her late husband, Jekabs dad. How he was once a great warrior during King Shiro's lifetime. He fought valiantly beside him as one of his elite knights. She told us a few stores of his heroism and courageousness. It was inspiring, not just for me but for Jekab and Temti as well. From there I asked his mom about the future and Jekab traveling with us. She seemed all for it as long as I watched over him. Also, there were rumors about training a new generation of Guardian Knights, so as long as he joined in the meantime she was fully worried free.
