== Steps ==
* Speak with [[Nathaxio]].
* Search for [[Voyce]] by the entrance to the [[Sylphlands]].
* Speak with [[Olmxio]] at [[Little Solace]].
* Speak with [[Frixio]].
* Report to [[Olmxio]].

== Journal ==
* [[Olmxio]] has had it up to here with [[Voyce]]'s utter incompetence.
* [[Olmxio]], unable to bear [[Voyce]]'s utter uselessness, sought to entrust the hapless scholar with various menial tasks, only to watch him fail in spectacular fashion. [[Olmxio]] now suspects [[Voyce]] is slacking from his latest task, that of leaf collecting. Seek out [[Nathaxio]], who awaits the scholar's harvest.
* [[Olmxio]] is perplexed by your presence, saying that you just spoke with him a moment ago en route to check on the Chosen One's cradle. Fearing the worst, he insists that you speak with [[Frixio|Elder Frixio]] immediately.
* That which was most feared has come true, as the disguised [[Diluxio]] and his lackeys have made off with the Chosen One, whose powers they intend to use to exact revenge on all perceived enemies of sylphkind. Return to [[Olmxio]] and report on the grievous state of affairs.

== Dialogue ==
[[Olmxio]]: Ah, friendly one. This one would ask a favor. 
[[Olmxio]]: This one gives bumbling one needle and thread, but bumbling one pricks finger and starts screaming and sobbing. This one's head still hurts. 
[[Olmxio]]: So this one finds simpler task, asks bumbling one to go collect leaves for [[Nathaxio]]. Simple, yes? But bumbling one does not return. This one has had enough of bumbling one's bumblings, but [[Nathaxio]] is concerned. friendly one should go talk to concerned one. 
 
[[Nathaxio]]: This one is [[Nathaxio]], leafcrafter. Walking one is sent by [[Olmxio]], yes? This one is thankful. 
[[Nathaxio]]: [[Olmxio]] placed four-eyed one in this one's care, asked this one to find work that four-eyed one would not bumble. So this one sent four-eyed one in search of leaves of great shelter tree. 
[[Nathaxio]]: This one casts see-through spell on four-eyed one for safe return. But night turns to day and that one is nowhere to be seen. 
[[Nathaxio]]: This one suspects that four-eyed one is see-through no more, and shakes and shivers behind tree somewhere. <sigh> Four-eyed one is useless, but does not deserve to die. Please find four-eyed one, friendly one. 
 
[[Voyce]]: Oh, friend! Ever a sight for sore eyes, you are! 
[[Voyce]]: Pray forgive me. I was just on my way back from collecting leaves for my dear friend [[Nathaxio]]─and I must say I harvested quite a haul─when I, ah...somehow lost my way. 
[[Voyce]]: Next thing I knew, my transparency spell had worn off, and...ah, that means all those nasty forest critters can see us, yes? What say we return to [[Little Solace]], and quickly at that? 
 
[[Olmxio]]: Hm? Friendly one is back so soon? Is Chosen One safe and sound? 
[[Olmxio]]: ...What? Friendly one only now returns to this one? Saved bumbling one but moments ago? This cannot be. 
[[Olmxio]]: Friendly one was here moments ago. Told this one that friendly one would go look after... 
[[Olmxio]]: Gah! How could this one be so foolish!? This one has terrible feeling! Must see elder one at once! 
 
[[Frixio]]: ...Are this one's eyes to be believed!? 
[[Frixio]]: Chosen One's podling, stolen from this one's care? 
[[Frixio]]: B-Brave one steals Chosen One from us? But...why? Was brave one fooling these ones all along? 
Character with appearance of the player: This one thinks grey-haired one needs new spectacles. 
[[Voyce]]: Why, I'll be, friend! You never told me you had a twin brother! 
Character with appearance of the player: This one is surrounded by fools. Makes this one's task all the easier... 
[[Frixio]]: Chosen One! 
[[Diluxio]]: Foolish ones are foolish indeed to try to outwit this one. But worry not, foolish ones─Chosen One's podling is safe in hands of this one. 
[[Diluxio]]: ...Hm? 
[[Diluxio]]: Ah, the podling trembles with power! The time of rebirth draws near!
[[Diluxio]]: Yes, at long last, this one will finally reclaim the forest for these ones. With Chosen One's power, these ones will be pushed aside by walking ones no longer! 
[[Diluxio]]: Yes, this one will teach Chosen One the way of almighty one, Lord [[Ramuh]]. This one will teach Chosen One of all those who are enemy to these ones─walking ones, steel ones, treacherous ones... 
[[Diluxio]]: ...This one will destroy every one! Muahahaha! 
 
[[Olmxio]]: If Chosen One is born in [[Diluxio]]'s care, it is not just these ones who will suffer─every one will be in danger... 
[[Olmxio]]: These ones must find Chosen One...but where to look? Curses! If only walking ones had sent real smart one instead of bumbling four-eyed one! 
[[Olmxio]]: But this one will think of something. Brave one, please help defend these ones' home against touched ones' attack. These ones have no one else to turn to.
