Depressing Man

[????]

Leave me be,

ruffian! I'm disinclined

towards conversation

at the moment.

Don't go judging

people based on just

how they look. Try to look

inside and find the truth

within their hearts.

[Gen]

You lookin' for

something? Crayu

must have sent you.

Alright then, let's get

straight to the point.

So, why is it that you

wanna become one

of Valkyrie's chosen?

Alright...

Now, did Crayu

tell you why I'm here?

Good, then you

already know what

you need to do. Now go

see the witch of Niflheim.

And, off the record,

I think you should be

really careful if you find

yourself dealing with Serin...

You know, I was an

adventurer myself. In fact,

I even came here to Niflheim

for the ordeals set by the gods. However, I failed and ended up being bound to this realm...

I just wanted to warn you.

Be careful and don't justify

your greed for any sort of reward using the excuse that you're just gonna prove your courage.

That's what I did...

Anyway, I've already talked

too much. First, go and see

the witch and ask her to

help you out, okay?

One last thing. Off the

record, I think you should

be really careful if you find

yourself dealing with Serin.

She seems nice enough, but

something's weird about her.

She's awfully persuasive,

and the fact that she used

to be a great wizard when she

was alive bothers me. She's a lot different than the rest of the guys stuck in Niflheim...

Are you here

to prove your

courage to the gods?

Huh... I hear you're

looking for something

pretty important. It's going

to be a dangerous search.

They are plenty of

other parties that are

interested in the thing

which you're seeking...

You must be a very

resourceful mortal.

Not even Lady Hell, with

all her power, could find

the soul of her mother

for a long time.

There's no need

for me to hide my

true identity any longer.

My real name is Ganglati,

servant of Lady Hell, the

ruler of Niflheim.

Her highness would

have words with you.

Shall I send you to her

mansion, Eljudnir,

right now?

Remember to be

careful and especially

polite when you speak to

Lady Hell. Otherwise, the

consequences will be severe...

I understand.

Meeting with a deity is

no small matter. However,

I advise you to make haste

as her highness is eager

to see you soon.

You must be most favored

to receive the Symbol of the

Nine Realms. Of course, it

can be used only once, but

it is still a great honor.

Once again, I ask that

you be on guard against

Serin. She may already be

aware of what you plan to

do with this symbol...

You must hurry and

stop the summoning

before your world in

cast into immense peril!

Although Lady Hell

is being rather blase

about this matter, I beseech

you to do what you can for

the realm of the living!

I should have

known you couldn't

stop her. Still, I had

a little hope that you'd

be able to do it.

Perhaps I expected

far too much of you.

Goodbye for now, mortal.

You've done a great

job of stopping Serin.

Excellent! Such great

service on behalf of

I'm pleased to inform

you that you've been

invited to Lady Hell's

mansion once again.

Are you ready to go?

I see.

Well then, come

back to me when you

feel fully prepared.

Good, good.

Don't forget to

speak to her highness

with the utmost respect!
