Lv53. Mysterious Dragon Eggs

==Conversation==
===Accepting the Quest===
Akara
: "For many years, I have been studying the history of the dragons that once roamed our lands. According to legend, an ancient dragon was sealed away in these very dunes."
: "This is no normal dragon egg - it is a dragon egg that was sealed by a demon in ancient times. Interesting, yes, but that's not the point..." Akara frowns.
: "I don't know why they sealed it - I'm sure they had their reasons - but the takeaway is that only one recognized as an Envoy of Gaia can remove the demonic seal and return this egg to the flow of time."
Envoy
: Only Envoys of Gaia! No wonder Akara changed his attitude after seeing you and <Eidolon>. He only wanted to use you to unseal the egg!
Akara
: "Look, look here! Can you see life returning to it? Now, let us see if we can hatch the dragon within."
Envoy
: You watch anxiously as Akara inspects the dragon egg for signs of life. Though nothing seems to be happening on the surface, you feel a strong power emanating from within the thick shell.
Akara
: "Your work here is not yet finished, <Envoy>. We have an agreement that you will aid me. I will need you now to help hatch this most ancient of dragons."
Envoy
: Hesitating for a moment, you manage to work up the courage to ask Akara if this dragon would not be a terrible danger to the world.
Akara
: "Certainly not, <Envoy>. The legend says that this particular dragon is sacred - even friendly. It is of a species once believed to be guardians of our realm, watching over the safety of all. Perhaps that is the reason this egg was sealed here by a mysterious evil force. At long last it is time... time for the dragon to be free once more!"
: "I've already made it clear to Merle that hatching this egg is important. Take this anesthetic to him out on Cactus Plateau. While you're doing that, I'll head back to Palmgil Oasis to help your friends."
: "While you head to the Plateau, I will uphold my end of the bargain. I will return to Palmgil Oasis and aid your companions in their travel through the dunes. Let us make haste to carry out our tasks, <Envoy>."
Envoy
: As you prepare to leave the tower, a feeling of worry looms over you like a dark cloud. You somehow feel like you already know how to hatch the dragon, yet...you're simply not sure if it is a wise decision.
Eidolon
: "Worried about hatching the dragon, aren't you?" <Eidolon> seems to be able to read your every thought these days.
: "Don't worry, <Envoy>! Can't you feel the pure sacred energy coming from this egg? I think it'll be no trouble at all!"
Envoy
: Nodding your head, you know that <Eidolon> is right - the egg does feel special...sacred, even. You decide to commit yourself to hatching it for Akara.
===In Progress===
Merle
: "What the heck? How do you expect me to hatch an egg out here in the boondocks? You're not expecting me to sit on it, are you?"
===Completing the Quest===
Envoy
: You greet Merle and tell him what's going on with Akara and the strange ancient dragon egg.
Merle
: "Confound it! That crazy Akara wants to hatch a dragon?! Inconceivable! I heard about crazy people like him - completely mad about dragons! He's one of them, isn't he!"
: "Let's get this over with, then! It's...a bit unsettling around here, to be honest. And then Akara saddled me with this kid..." Merle gestures to the young Haas beside him.
Haas
: "Akara told me I'd be paid well if I worked with the caravan. That's why I'm here - I'm helping!" Haas smiles happily.
