Kepillia: Good. Let's move to the next stage of the operation.

Caelid: Let us know if there's something we can do while the poison spreads.

Kepillia: Visiting the Scarlet Forest would be a good idea. It's connected to the Drana Plantation and observed frequently.

Kepillia: If trouble breaks out in the Scarlet Forest, it will split some of the Balaur forces.

Caelid: Not a bad idea. Let's all go together.

Kepillia: The Scarlet Forest is located on the other side of the Drana Plantation. Our legionnaires have transformed into Balaur, so it should be safe for you to transform as well.

Nania: Do I have to transform too?

Caelid: It will be unpleasant at first, but you get used to it quickly. Anyway, we need to gather transformation materials first. We're out.

Kepillia: Actually, I already gathered some more for you after your earlier transformation.

Caelid: Always one step ahead. Thank you.

Step 1 · 4 lines

Nania: Shall we go to the Scarlet Forest then?

Kepillia: We have a code phrase to identify other legionnaires. Ask "What do your dragon eyes see?" first.

Kepillia: Legionnaires will reply with "Far to the horizon". Then you reply back with "From the ground below, to the heavens above".

Nania: Noted. All right, let's get going!

Step 2 · 17 lines

Sthen: Small Dratona not come here! Big Dratona work here. Busy.

Caelid: Hmm... I can't tell if they're a Dratona or a transformed legionnaire just by looking at them. Nania, try the code phrase.

Nania: What do your dragon eyes see?

Sthen: *gasp* Far to the horizon.

Nania: From the ground below, to the heavens above.

Sthen: You're Daeva! I'm Sthen, of the Notos Legion. Which force are you a part of?

Caelid: The Dawn Legion. We're on a joint operation with the Notos Legion to infiltrate the Nahid Brigade base.

Caelid: Kepillia was curious about activity in the Scarlet Forest. Do you have anything to report?

Sthen: Shoot... our reports must not have made it back to the outpost. I was wondering why there hadn't been any reinforcements.

Caelid: What do you mean?

Sthen: This Scarlet Forest is an important point of interest, heavily affected by Drana. That's why we have been patrolling the area while transformed.

Sthen: But an unexpected variable has appeared—Sura. Many of the legionnaires patrolling the forest are missing or dead.

Sthen: My Selvis has been broken, so one of us headed towards the outpost... But something must have gone wrong.

Nania: Oh no... We should be able to help out, right?

Caelid: Just tell us what you need.

Sthen: Thank you, truly appreciate your help. Can you try and find any fellow survivors first?

Caelid: Okay, ‹your name›, go look for them. Nania, contact the headquarters using the Selvis and update them on the current situation.

Step 3 · 2 lines

Nania: No survivors? At all? Well, come back for now.

Nania: Bring the mission report as well.

Step 4 · 1 line

A Mission Report was found on the Daeva corpse.

Step 6 · 4 lines

Sthen: ...Nania tells me I'm the only one left.

Nania: I'm sorry we weren't able to save your comrades, Sthen. But we were at least able to retrieve a mission report. Here.

Sthen: ...Thank you. I already know who wrote this just by looking at the handwriting...

Nania: I know words might not mean much, but... Hang in there, Sthen.

Turning in · 5 lines

Caelid: They died honorably, resisting the Balaur. They will be reborn within AION's warm embrace.

Sthen: You're right. It makes me feel guilty, in a way. Being the only one left alive...

Caelid: There's no need to feel guilt. Those who survive need to carry on the legacy of the dead.

Caelid: Help us reclaim this world of ours back from the Balaur!

Sthen: You've helped me, so it's only right I return the favor.

When it is done

"Those who survive need to carry on the legacy of the dead." While poison spreads through the Drana Plantation, you decide to help the Legion in the nearby Scarlet Forest. The legionnaire scouts in the forest were all transformed into Dratona. You encountered Notos legionnaire Sthen in Dratona form when you arrived. But the situation in the Scarlet Forest was dire. Sura had appeared out of nowhere, killing all of his comrades and destroying his Selvis, isolating him. You searched for survivors, only to discover there were none. Sthen was shaken by learning he was the sole survivor, but Nania and Caelid's encouragement helped him keep going.
