Final Quest
"Torai," you say without taking your eyes off the dark nymph.
Somehow, the green dragon immediately knows what you want him to do. "No, Esther," he says firmly. "We can't release them."
"We may have no choice," you reply.
"What if we make things worse by releasing them?" Torai demands, sounding unhappy.
You don't answer him. "Alasse?" you ask instead.
There is a soft rustle, and you know that Alasse has dismounted and come to your side. She looks carefully at the dark nymph. "I do not believe she will cause us harm," she says at last. But there is a note of doubt in her voice.
You turn to Torai. "There you go," you tell him.
Torai moves to the other sacks, muttering under his breath, "On your head be it if this goes wrong."
Within moments, Torai has burned the other sacks to ash. Other dark nymphs uncurl from their prisons, stretching and crying with relief in painful voices.
The first dark nymph turns to you. "Continue along this path and you will get to a circle of stones in the centre of a large wasteland," she tells you. "Because you have aided us, so will we aid you."
You nod, tears streaming down your cheeks from the pain of that voice, as the dark nymphs vanish one by one.
