“So, last ti, the adventurer had been seeking the waters of life, and then he was injured fighting slave traders. He barely managed to save the fairies, but he himself was left mortally wounded.”
“Wh-what happened next?” Celeste demanded.
“This mural starts up revealing that the adventurer was saved by the fairies. They took him to their ho, which sat around a spring. Using the waters of life, they brought the adventurer back from the brink of death. There, he ended up living with the fairies for so ti. In particular, he seed to beco good friends with the fairy queen.
“Actually, as ti passed, it seed like the fairy queen had fallen in love with the man. Having found the waters of life, the man asked the queen if he could collect so of it and sell it. She gave him permission, and he returned to the human world with bags full of it.
“The man grew rich by selling the water of life. He beca known as a benevolent and kind person who sold the healing water and saved hundreds of lives. In the end, he built a city and lived in a magnificent mansion.
“However, waters of life were always in demand, and the man would make trips back to the spring to take more water. The Fairy Queen, blinded by her love, continued to give away the waters of life until the spring began to shrivel up. However, the man was not an evil man, he saw this state, and promised that he wouldn’t take any more water.
“What he didn’t know was that his last visit was seen, and now soone else knew the position of the waters of life…”
“… Well?” Celeste demanded.
I gave a wry smile. “Yeah… that’s where it ends.”
“Ah! Why does it always end like that! The story is a tease! What a tease! I hate it! Stupid story!”
Celeste flew around the room raging a bit at the unfulfilling end to the story. As for , I sat back and considered things. So, Karr’s fortune was obtained by draining the waters of life. I had a feeling the waters of life in the spring were more potent than what I could create. I wondered if the fairy queen made the waters using a create water spell, or if she simply sprinkled fairy dust into a spring for a long period of ti.
“Do you know anything about fairies?” I asked.
Celeste stopped her raging to glance over at . “Eh?”
“I an, how does the fairy queen work alongside the fairies? What’s the importance of the waters of life? What is… ahem… the breeding habits? When does the queen release the fairy dust?”
“Th-that…” Celeste blushed. “I don’t rember!”
I smacked my head. “Seriously!”
“Ah… s-sorry Master! I’m sorry!”
“No… forget it. It’s fine.”
Thinking about it, whatever happened, likely the queen and all the other fairies are dead. Celeste is probably the last of her family alive. Sothing bad certainly happened and they were destroyed. Karr probably helped save slaves so fervently as a ans of atoning for the sins of his past. However, there was still a missing part of the story. Why had the mansion suddenly turned into a dungeon? What had happened to this place that filled it with ghosts?
I wouldn’t get any answers here. There was only one choice, to keep going deeper into the dungeon. Sowhere down here is the final answer to this lore.
