*Grahdens: . I've been waiting for you.
 	
*Grahdens: I thought you'd pass through here on your way to the White Tower.
*Grahdens: The White Tower is on the other side of the Ryvern Mountains, just after you exit the cave. 
*Grahdens: I doubt it will be easy to pass through even with your skills.
*Grahdens: However, fear not. 
*Grahdens: I will save that youngster Karl.
*Grahdens: He's my beloved son, after all.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho. What's with the dubious look on your face?
 	
*Grahdens: I have no clue what that disciple Mare said.
*Grahdens: But it was me who took that abandoned baby and raised him as my own.
*Grahdens: That being said, it is true that I eventually left him to the care of a trustworthy acquaintance. 
*Grahdens: The life of a Summoner Elder is just too hectic.
*Grahdens: You know the rest of the story though, don't you?
*Grahdens: I'm thankful to you for always playing with Karl when you were children.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho.
*Grahdens: However, no matter how busy I got...
*Grahdens: ...I'd never simply just leave him with someone else.
 	
*Grahdens: I'd sneak out occasionally without anyone else noticing to go and check on him. 
*Grahdens: I would've gotten into a lot of trouble had anyone known that I, a Summoner Elder, had a child.
*Grahdens: However, even as sneaky as I had to be, I was still accepted in return.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho. How nostalgic.
 	
*Grahdens: Well then, I guess I should be on my way.
*Grahdens: Getting back a lost child is the responsibility of their parents.
 	
*Grahdens: And also, I must punish the person dared trick my dear son.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho. Worry not.
 	
*Grahdens: I may have gotten older, but I'm still likely many times stronger than any of you.
*Grahdens: In addition, even if something should happen to me...
*Grahdens: ...I've asked the other Elder Summoners to look after you all.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho. Maybe I'm being too cautious?
 	
*Grahdens: Fear not, and make your way to Zevalhua.
*Grahdens: I'm sure Karl doesn't want to hold you back either.
*Grahdens: But even so, you still plan on heading for the White Tower, don't you?
 	
*Grahdens: Karl has some really good friends.
 	
*Grahdens: Well then, I'll save Karl then wait for you at the White Tower.
 	
*Grahdens: Ho ho ho.
