Character Quest 2[edit]
Fortune Smiles Upon Us
A young couple are having a fight in the middle of town. When he sees how distressed the woman is, Zilva offers to mediate.
Aldo and Zilva spot a young couple having a fight in the middle of Rinde. After the man leaves for work, they witness the woman feeling dizzy, so they take her to the inn. Once she recovers, Zilva suggests that she writes a letter to her husband, and gives her a piece of paper. As she writes the letter, Aldo and Zilva decide to head to Serena Coast, where Zilva picks a flower to give the woman so that she can include it with the letter. She is confused at first, but Zilva whispers something to her and she agrees.
Aldo and Zilva then go deliver the letter to the husband. They rescue him from some monsters, but more appear, forcing Zilva to unleash his full power to scare them away. The man then reads the letter and finds out that he will become a father. Zilva wishes him good luck and reveals the meaning of the flower he picked: may fortune smile upon you.
After the man runs back home, Zilva reveals to Aldo that his wife loves flowers and admits that he wasn’t always a good husband to her. Aldo wonders why he doesn’t go see her once in a while and Zilva responds: “I swore to my wife that I would wield this savage axe of mine in defense of as many people as the lives it has claimed. Until then, we would remain apart. And at this moment in time… There are many more innocents I must defend before I can say I have fulfilled that promise.”
