Esmerelda | Fantasy Life (3DS)

EsmereldaSorry, dearie, class is in session! *cackle*

EsmereldaCertainly is chilly tonight, eh? That's Al Maajik for you!

EsmereldaAh! So you've finally decided to show your face. I've been expecting you for quite a while, child. I wonder if I'm not the slightest bit familiar... Don't you recognize me? Face not ringing any bells? I'll give you a hint: her name means "curse," and she's been known to swallow rats whole. Yes, Jinx! Isn't it obvious? She's my familiar. My link to Reveria...and you. I've been watching over you for some time now, through Jinx's eyes. Don't look so surprised! I am a Wizard, after all. And a pretty good one, from what they tell me. Enough of that. You've come a long way! Let me give you this token of my esteem.

EsmereldaOnce you've reached the Adept rank, come see me anytime, dearie. Any pupil of Jinx's is a friend of mine. Give my best to Hazel and Nox too.

EsmereldaYou've reached the Adept rank. Impressive, child! Very impressive... Perhaps I can persuade you one day to work here as a wizarding instructor! Tell me, child, have you ever faced down something truly evil? Not just a nasty beast. Something... ...bad. These evil spirits used to live in a more peaceful manner. At least they stayed far away from us. And we from them! But recently they've become a bit, shall we say, bolder. Frankly, they're mauling the stuffing out of folks. Sounds like something a Wizard should look into. Seek out the Gale Wraith in the Aridian Desert, if you haven't already, and challenge it to battle!

EsmereldaListen well, child. I have some serious wisdom to impart to you! You don't defeat an evil spirit... You pacify it. All spirits are part of nature, and we should treat them with much respect.

EsmereldaWell, well, well. An Expert, are we? I believe I have a challenge for you, Expert. Perhaps you've heard of Deepsea Cave on Tortuga Archipelago... An evil water spirit known as the Sea Wraith lurks there. My emissaries bring me word that this beast has recently become rather...violent. I believe you have the power to calm the beast, if you haven't already, that is. How about it, child?

EsmereldaGo stir up some trouble for that Sea Wraith, child. You'll find it in Deepsea Cave, to the south of Tortuga Archipelago. Don't let me down!

EsmereldaOooh! You're a Master now, I see. How...inspirational. *cackle!* And you've learned the Shooting Star trick, eh? That's an advanced move for Masters only! Just imagine all the power of the spirits concentrated into one wild burst... It takes a while to reach its peak, naturally. It's not a rapid-fire move, by any means!

EsmereldaI have no doubt you will use the power granted to you for the good of the people.

EsmereldaI have something to ask of you, now that you've reached the rank of Hero. It's about the lad. Colin is his name. He's become overly obsessed with his duty. I'm afraid it's my fault! But I believe you can help bring Colin back to reality. What do you say?

EsmereldaWithout light, there can be no shadow. Shadow is simply another aspect of light. Remember that, my child. You will need this knowledge to restore peace to the world...

EsmereldaAnd so you've reached the rank of Legend! Allow me to give you this final bit of wisdom... Nature is neither good nor evil. Yet it must always be respected! Evil spirits must be held in the same regard as the good ones. Sounds strange, doesn't it? But consider this: an evil spirit can be reborn as a good one. That is how we bring peace to the land. All that we ask in return is to borrow a little bit of the spirits' power. A delicate balance, you see! And an important lesson to be learned. But you know this already, I can tell. You've truly embraced the Life of a Wizard!

EsmereldaJinx has taught you well. Molded you into a fine Wizard! *cackle!* Jinx was once my familiar, but I sense she has moved on and chosen her own path... You've had quite the profound effect on her, child. Makes my heart proud to see you two succeed!

EsmereldaRemember my all-seeing eye? That means I see everything...including your hopes for the future. I believe in you, child. I know how important it is to have a good support system! And I shall champion your cause to the ends of Reveria! Here. Go on, take it. A little token of my esteem.

Esmerelda[Player], my child... The path you walk is a cold and lonely one. You'll see things that will make you want to tear your eyes out! Madness! Absurdity! Panic! But if you ever feel like you can't go on, just think of the kindly, wrinkled face you see before you. That'll scare you straight! *cackle!*

EsmereldaCreator rank, eh? You must have drawn from a vast reserve of inner strength to accomplish that! I imagine I was the source of most, if not all, of your inspiration. You're welcome, my child. No need to grovel before me or anything.

EsmereldaWe Wizards are inherently connected to nature... When we laugh, it laughs with us! *cackle!* That's why I have so many lovely laugh lines. You could call them crow's-feet, I suppose... But either way, they're badges of honor. Laugh with me, child, and let your wrinkles grow!
