Zizi: You heard that birdbrain's squawking, too, nyerk? He just came and started causing a scene, so we locked him up just in case.
Zizi: At first, we thought he was attacking us, but then he kept yelling nonsense, nyerk. About some Aullaeu named Holymoly or something.
Zizi: It's so noisy, I'm losing my mind, nyerk. He doesn't seem dangerous though... Should we just... let him go?
Zizi: Can you talk to him for us? Figure out what that birdbrain wants. If it's nothing serious, we'll let him go, nyerk.

Sohoaul: What's this? A Daeva! Perfect! The Shugo will not believe a word I say!
Sohoaul: I am Sohoaul, Holyaul's loyal servant! I'm trying to find him! Ridiculous! I'm not here to fight! Help me out, won't you?
Sohoaul: Absurdosity! Holyaul used to be a respected figure in our village. But that sneaky Aulamus framed him with his tricks, he did!
Sohoaul: Our foolish kin fell for Aulamus's lies and banished Holyaul and the rest of us to the Forest of Exiles! Ludicrous!
Sohoaul: Hoo, unbelievable! There was some fighting recently, and I managed to escape during the commotion. But now everyone's scattered, and I've lost all contact with them!
Sohoaul: I must find Holyaul first. Only then can we drive Aulamus out! Incredibility! Have you seen him? Even just a feather?!
Sohoaul: ...
Sohoaul: What's this!? I should not have flown away... I should've gone straight to Holyaul. How foolish of me...
Sohoaul: Unbelievable! Do you know where Holyaul's body is, Daeva? If I couldn't protect him, I would at least like to give him a proper burial.
Sohoaul: The Forest of Exiles... Absurdosity! I can't go alone! Will you help me? I cannot repay you now, but I'll never forget it.
Sohoaul: Thank you. Let us meet where Holyaul took his last breath. Incomprehensible!

Sohoaul: Daeva, Holyaul's body was exactly where you said it'd be. But... they've left it to rot, disrespecting him even in death. Unthinkable!
Sohoaul: Preposterous! I swear that vile Aulamus commanded this. I will not let him get away with it.
Sohoaul: But recovering Holyaul and honoring him properly comes first. Aulamus's followers are standing guard around the body.
Sohoaul: There are only two of us, so we must approach carefully and subdue them.

Sohoaul: Over here, Daeva! Inconceivable! Come down the stairs!

Sohoaul: Holyaul wanted us to live as true Aullaeu should. He worked hard to carry on our rightful legacy. Unbelievable...
Sohoaul: But Aulamus thought different. Absurd! He believed in ruling through force and that the strong should dominate the weak! Inconceivable!
Sohoaul: That's why he accepted the Dragon Lord Ishtar. Ridiculous! But in doing so, we started losing our Aullaeu culture and traditions.
Sohoaul: Still, many of the tribe supported Aulamus instead. In the end, Aulamus did indeed become the new leader! Preposterous!
Sohoaul: Can you believe it!? Aulamus and his followers called Holyaul and us heretics! They called exile, but they just wanted to get rid of Holyaul's faction!
Sohoaul: We almost all died out there... It's a miracle any survived. Incredible! We couldn't protect Holyaul, but we'll carry on his ideals.
Sohoaul: Thanks to you, Holyaul received a proper burial. I won't soon forget such kindness. And one day, I will repay it.
Sohoaul: Now I'll go find the rest of our comrades. You go on ahead. Unbelievable...
When it is done
"We couldn't protect Holyaul, but we'll carry on his ideals." Sohoaul, a loyal subordinate of Holyaul, sought the aid of the Shugo in finding his fallen leader. At Sohoaul's earnest request, you agreed to assist with retrieving Holyaul's body. Aulamus's forces had left Holyaul's body where he fell, desecrating his honor even in death. After recovering the body, Sohoaul conducted traditional funeral rites, allowing Holyaul to return to the heavens in peace.
