• 13:00 - 13:30 [Music] are you [Music] hurt you've actually got the power to go up against the dragon are you a new ally or a new storm
• 13:30 - 14:00 storm terror is attacking monster itself kaia traveler you've come at the right time we must hold on amber are you perhaps forgetting to introduce us oh right this is kaya our cavalry captain these two are travelers from afar from afar is that all we know of them long story short [Music]
• 14:00 - 14:30 i see welcome to monstat although you haven't arrived at the best of times i'm afraid i understand the anguish of being separated from family i'm not really sure why you're looking for the animo god but everyone has their secrets right relax i won't press you for more first and foremost on behalf of the knights of favonius i would like to extend our thanks to you for your help just now
• 14:30 - 15:00 your fight to defend the city against the dragon just now was witnessed by no small number of citizens the acting grand master of the knights of fivonius is also very interested in meeting you and formally invites you both to our headquarters gene what's the hurry i thought we agreed to meet them here there have been sightings of storm

• 15:30 - 16:00 knights of favonius this is lisa our resident librarian oh are you sweeties here to help us out you're both so adorable sadly the timing is regrettable storm terror has caused quite a ruckus in the region since its recent resurgence simply put monstat's elemental sphere and ley lines are now akin to a yarn ball in the paws of a kitten for a mage it couldn't get much worse my skin is one elemental particle away
• 16:00 - 16:30 from a full-blown breakout if it weren't for this interference the knights of havonius would have better ways to help you than just putting up missing person posters we simply ask that you're opposing monstat while we help you seek out your sister hi mom will help too good in that case we need a plan with storm terror now directly attacking monstat we may have an opportunity to cut this problem off at the source
• 16:30 - 17:00 lisa has revealed the sources of storm terror's power with her detection magic is that so they're located in the abandoned four winds temples storm terrors ability to whip up these kinds of storms can be attributed to it drawing power from the temples our objective is to deal with three of the four temples i trust everyone understands why we are only dealing with three jaimen doesn't knights of fivonius time is against us
• 17:00 - 17:30 the storm is rampant there's no point in maintaining a defensive position all right we need to take initiative and act before the situation escalates [Music] this is it one of the deserted temples of the four winds these temples have been left to waste for years now the people of monstar almost never come here there's a chance there's a monster nest or hilla troll camp inside
• 17:30 - 18:00 even storm terror has given up on its own temple yes i also find it hard to accept but storm terror was once one of the four winds huh wait did you just feel that the wind here something's off let's go in and take a look be careful the dragon's power is disturbing this area [Music]
• 18:00 - 18:30 it's so high seems like there's something up there but how do we get across isn't this a pyro monument if we hit it with a powerful pyro attack we might trigger it [Music]
• 18:30 - 19:00 dragon's breath is that where the power's coming from great let's smash it [Music] phew i'm tired but at least this way we've helped gene out in the past we were at least able to defend the city and keep it safe this of course is mostly thanks to gene but now with storm terror directly attacking the city itself the winds change so too should our
• 19:00 - 19:30 tactics it's what lisa likes to say speaking of which the four winds we were discussing earlier if you want to learn more about our history you can ask lisa i'm not saying i don't know our history it's just i mean a librarian is supposed to be more knowledgeable than an outrider right
• 19:30 - 20:00 you've arrived come closer can you smell that something must have happened in the temple i imagine there will be slimes hilly churros and whatever is giving storm terror extra power oh yes it is going to be lively in there indeed as bustling as it may be no i can't imagine it will be dangerous at all it's a pity that the temple of the wolf has been disturbed by such an atrocity let's head in no one makes offerings to the four winds
• 20:00 - 20:30 anymore yet the old winds never vanish we need to clear out the temples for the four winds let me show you how the knights of fivonius conquer our adversaries hmm if i'm not mistaken the end of the
• 20:30 - 21:00 temple should be up there wait how do you know experience the kind of experience you get after years of dealing with things like this for others [Music] traveler unless i'm mistaken you don't seem to have a vision so how exactly is it that you're able to channel elemental energy
• 21:00 - 21:30 freeze [Music] speaking of did you know storm terror was once one of the four winds i'm not aware of the exact details if you're interested you can ask the acting grand master about it [Music] is that the thing that storm terror is using to keen its power seems probable let's deal with it
• 21:30 - 22:00 quite rewarding no we've seized another temple from stormterror's grasp i can take care of the rest here you go take care of other things while i'm at it see you later then bye-bye there's no way hilly turtles organized an ambush like this themselves not with their limited mental capacity
• 22:00 - 22:30 thus you were behind [Music] this yeah [Music] nights if a phoniest always so
• 22:30 - 23:00 inefficient agree to disagree but your involvement in this just made things a whole lot more interesting hey cutie you're going to help me out too how kind of you don't hesitate to come to me if you need anything good question basically things other than that which require brawn
• 23:00 - 23:30 or brains so what does that leave [Music] i guess i could give this a go i knew it there was a strong elemental energy coming from deep within this temple
• 23:30 - 24:00 leave it to me come a little closer [Music] oh you want to know about this gem you're kidding you're seriously asking this is a vision it's used by the chosen to draw on elemental powers in terms of mysticism i suppose you
• 24:00 - 24:30 could call it a magical lightning rod [Music] what you've never seen a vision just where exactly are you from are you a hilly turtle with some level of reasonable intelligence no i doubt it after all hilly trills aren't exactly known for their smarts and you you'd more or less qualify to be
• 24:30 - 25:00 a magister's apprentice break it and we can head home and relax huh the thought of putting my feet up and relaxing has me all fired up dragon of the east lion of the south wolf of the north falcon of the west they are the four winds of monstat affiliated with barbados the god of animal the dragon of the east storm terror its
• 25:00 - 25:30 real name is divalen though most in monstat seem to have forgotten that in all this storm terror business so now you know why divalen is only able to channel three of the four winds power because it has been consuming itself from the beginning because of hatred i presume hatred hatred for monstat hatred drove it to become something more powerful than the wind itself to become storm terror
• 25:30 - 26:00 but why would one of the four winds hate the city it was supposed to protect uh as a child of monstat it's something that's really hard to say aloud [Music] hey traveler i've been looking for you
• 26:00 - 26:30 everywhere how's that wind glider i gave you last time seems like it's really growing on you but then again you don't have a gliding license do you do [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh wow
• 26:30 - 27:00 [Music]
