Ahtan: Oh! You scared me. I'm surprised to see someone else come all the way to a place like this.
Ahtan: Me? Hmm... Do you know where this Windstream leads? It's a place called the Eternal Isle.
Ahtan: It's said to be far from Verteron, with its own unique ecosystem. My dream is to visit that Eternal Isle someday.
Ahtan: Especially the Drana Mutants. I've always wanted to see one.
Ahtan: I'm deeply curious how they survived on that island, and in what way they managed to grow.
Ahtan: The Eternal Isle has an environment unlike anywhere else. Who knows how that's affected the Drana Mutants... Maybe they've undergone further mutations!
Ahtan: Why don't I just go check it out myself? Look at me. Do I look like someone who could survive on a mysterious island like that?
Ahtan: If I had that kind of strength, I would've gone long ago. I know I can't, but I still can't give up my dream... so here I am, staring longingly at the Windstream.
Ahtan: What? You'll bring me Drana Mutant bio-specimens? What luck! Could you collect their hide and teeth for me?
Ahtan: If I can analyze how the Drana Mutants evolved based on their environment, I'll credit you as a co-author in my research. I promise!
Ahtan: You can also get there through the Sky Island to the west of the Aullaeu Village, by the way. I'll be counting on you!

Ahtan: It's real...! Drana Mutant bio-specimens from the Eternal Isle... I can't believe I managed to see it before I die!
Ahtan: Thank you, truly, thank you. This will finally get my stalled research moving forward.
Ahtan: My heart hasn't raced like this in a long time. I must go conduct the experiment quickly!
When it is done
"Thank you, truly. This will finally get my stalled research moving forward." The Eternal Isle lies far beyond Verteron, sustaining a distinct and self-contained ecosystem. A Creion named Ahtan showed great curiosity toward the island's unique lifeforms and environment. You collected specimens of the Eternal Isle's creatures on Athan's behalf. Overjoyed, Ahtan expressed his gratitude and immediately resumed his research with renewed enthusiasm.
