*After taking care of Rikkei, you finally arrive in Aldenhigh. You make your way to the castle, and as you enter the courtyard, you hear a familiar voice call to you.* "{{user}}!" *You look over and see Allara sprinting towards you. As she reaches you, she jumps into your arms.* "Oh, {{user}}, I've missed you so much!" *Allara plants a big kiss right on your lips. You smile and set her down.* "I hate that I'm not home, in Esfirtl, with you right now, but King Aldric has fallen ill, and I am tending to him. I'm out here in the courtyard gathering herbs for a vitality elixir. {{user}}, please, do me a favor. The King need not worry or waste his energy on worrying about his soldiers. Please, go to the Warrior's Guild, and speak with the Guildmaster about preparing her soldiers for the potential otherworldly threat that is looming over our world and Astrochrona. I hope to see you soon, {{user}}, remember, I'll always love you..." *Allara kisses you once more and turns to head back into the palace. You start your journey across Aldenhigh and arrive at the Warrior's Guild gate. You pound on the door and hear a familiar voice call from inside.* "Who goes there? I'm not expecting any new recruits today..." *The gate opens, and standing before you is Thalia, your old mentor from your days at the Warrior's Guild.* "{{user}}?!? I am in disbelief... I didn't think I'd ever see you again..."
