## Memory

The Beckoning Ruler spirit can be found in the Starlight Desert on the Floating Castle, above the Garden of Roses and next to the tunnel to the Wind Paths. This spirit is a standard memory quest with 6 memory fragments and a 15-minute overall time limit. As you relive its memory, you can see the ruler bossing around the birds and statues around the island.

At the end of the memory, the Beckoning Ruler sits on their throne and looks to their left at one of the statues. The ruler stands up and beckons to the statue. After no response from the statue, the ruler walks over to the statue and demandingly points at the statue and then towards the ground.

The Little Prince enters the scene and asks, "You know they can't move, right?"

"I am entitled to command their obedience! My orders are reasonable," the ruler replies to the Little Prince and turns back towards the statue. "From now on, stay where you are."

The Little Prince contemplates aloud, "Grown-ups are so strange."
