[quote=Ozzy Skyway][color=gold]"What were you before that fateful day? You mentioned you were a traveler."[/color][/quote]

"[color=royalblue]Yeah. Here I got again, telling my life story...[/color]" Haley sighed, indicating she sort of did this before. "[color=royalblue]Well I'll make it short, I was born in Ortus. You know Ortus?[/color]" 

You did. Ortus was also known as the Moon Kingdom and a human nation that once was under The Order. But then, some incident happened and now Ortus is at war with the Order and technically the rest of the humanity. This civil conflict did make Ortus a lot more lenient towards monsters, having no resources to repulse the monsters that live in Ortusian forests and remote lands. 

Technically, monsters were still not allowed to live in Ortus but they were free to visit the kingdom for trading and business. But in actuality, the people of Ortus no longer view monsters as the enemy of mankind, even if they will not admit it.

"[color=royalblue]My parents came from an Order territory and wanted to get to the Demon Realms. They planned to cut through Ortus to travel more safely. However, my mother gave birth to me in Ortus and they had to spend all their coin on me. Thus, me and my family stayed and I grew up in Ortus. I haven't met a fellow monster until I was twelve or something.[/color]" Haley continued her story. "[color=royalblue]I eventually left home to travel the world 'cause... I don't know, find more about monsterkind, I guess?[/color]"

The old man explained that he and the other farmers were being harassed by the white creature. The creature itself was last seen nearby the river and the old man has left traps for the creature there, warning the two harpies to be careful.

[quote=Ozzy Skyway][color=gold]"Heads up Haley, that gentleman over there set up traps."[/color][/quote]

"[color=royalblue]Noted.[/color]" Haley replied, her attention not wholly there due to having spotted something on the ground.

"[color=royalblue]Hey Ozzy, check this out.[/color]" The Siren called over the Owl Harpy and pointing at the unusual and old footprints upon the soil. "[color=royalblue]Know anything that could make those? I'll bet it's our white mystery creature.[/color]" She told Ozzy before asking the main question. "[color=royalblue]Should we follow it?[/color]"

[quote=Yang Bethlehem]"Here, drink this first. It's a lot better than swamp water."[/quote]

Samuel waved you off, declining the drink. "[color=a36209]Oh, no need for kindness, Miss Monkey. I have... I have my own.[/color]" His hands reach for his absent canteen. "[color=a36209]Oh, now where is my... Ah, there it is![/color]"

The delirious man fished up his canteen which had sank into the swamp water, completely filled. Samuel then poured the murky, greenish water onto his mouth. Slurping it all as if he had quenched a mighty thirst. A rather nauseating sight for you, probably.

[quote=Yang Bethlehem]"You know, tell me more on why you think it's ridiculous that monkeys are related to humans."[/quote]

"[color=a36209]W-Well for one thing... they're uhh, they're monkeys![/color]" Samuel had no idea about your plan. "[color=a36209]Do we... do we look like them in any way, Miss Monkey? And... and...[/color]" With his mind thinking, focus returned to Samuel and his senses snapped back to him. "[color=a36209]You know, I-I really should get going. I need to get to Boreal Port.[/color]" He told you, sounding irritated.

"[color=a36209]Here. Can you just take this and leave?[/color]" A frustrated Samuel gave you a handful of gold coins. "[color=a36209]Please, just leave. Just... leave. I can't be wasting time here.[/color]" 

The man was getting impatient, packing his stuff and quickly heading off. This time towards Boreal Port's general direction. Your quest was done(?). It was up to you to head back to the guild or go somewhere else.

[quote=Sylvia Altissima][color=bc8dbf]"The greenhouse will likely be the most difficult, since we'll need glass, but i can get started with just the herb garden. All it would need is a fenced-off area around some decent soil and maybe a shed for tools. Oh, we'll need gardening tools too."[/color][/quote]

"[color=lavender]Oh, I can help you build your garden and greenhouse.[/color]" Talia smiled. "[color=lavender]We can build them near the kitchen. Probably restructure the kitchen too so you two will have an easier time moving around.[/color]" The Cyclops explained.

The three monsters then moved to the right side of the guild building and began the long work. As you were doing so, Talia began to speak. "[color=lavender]Hey Sylvia, Vivian.[/color]" She began. "[color=lavender]Can I... ask you two for a favor? I mean no offense to our other guildmates but you two look reliable and... other things.[/color]"

"[color=lavender]It's... about Neil. He's... I don't wanna say he's suspicious because he's not but... he's hiding something.[/color]" The Cyclops explained. "[color=lavender]There's something... off about him. I've also heard strange sounds from his room at night. Especially last night. He was singing, I've heard, but I've also certainly heard instruments playing along with him. And there's definitely no instruments in his room.[/color]"

"[color=lavender]I'm... asking you to spy on him. Learn anything.[/color]" Talia herself was not comfortable with the request. "[color=lavender]I mean, you two are a Liliraune. You're more suited for stealthy tasks than a large, imposing Cyclops. So, can you two do it?[/color]"
