Historian

Wait a second!

Right now, you're carrying

too many things with you.

Please come back after

using the Kafra Service

to store some of your items.

[Historian Mondo]

Excuse me...

But if you don't have

anything important for

me, then would you

please leave? I have

research to attend to...

[

I'm sorry, but Ms. Rodafrian

wanted me to ask you for the

lyrics of some song describing

the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom's

founding. Would you tell

them to me for her?

Rodafrian? Oh, she must

mean that old children's

song. How did it go now?

Ah, now I remember...

*The great serpent*

*swallowed the sea.*

*The eagle of the rainbow*

*swallowed the serpent.*

*Then snake scales grew on*

*the eagle, and it slowly died.*

Yes, I know: the song

is rather morbid, despite

the fact that it's sung like

such a happy song. Sometimes

these little songs are supposed

to scare kids into doing good.

Hm? You look confused.

Did you have a question

to ask me about the song?

Actually, I heard

a different version

of this song, so I was

wondering why the lyrics

would be different...

Really now?

Well then, let me

hear the version that

you've heard, starting

from the beginning.

Ah, would you tell me

the lyrics of the version of

the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom

founding myth song that

you happened to hear?

Interesting...

The version you heard

from Karlomoff is different

than the one I know. It's

possible that his version

is the most authentic.

After all, I learned

the version I know

by listening to a

little kid sing it.

Yeah. My guess? The version

that the kid sang might have

changed as it was transmitted

by mouth through the generations. If you want to learn more, you

should probably find that kid.

Anyway, Karlomoff may have

the most accurate version of

the song since he's very good

at procuring and authenticating

historical written records and

documents. It's his specialty.

Ah, if you want to learn more,

then you should try to find the

kid that was singing the song.

Hmm, he might be around the

river near here. Hopefully it

won't be too hard to find him.

Once you're able to talk

to that kid, go ahead and

report back to Rodafrian.

She probably needs to know

soon, and I can talk to that

little kid at my leisure, so...

Well then, I hope you

find what you're looking

for. Good luck in your

travels, adventurer.

Isn't this such

a beautiful place?

It's no wonder that

ancient peoples chose

to live around here...

Wait, wait...

I think I messed up!

(Those weren't the

correct lyrics...)
