## Dialogue

Quest intro:

* High Priestess: Ah, Novice. It will soon be time for the turning of the seasons.
* Tara: Great! I love Summer. Picnics, lemonade, going to the beach…
* High Priestess: But first, we must gather the ingredients for our ritual.
* Tara: I’m sorry, but doesn’t the change from Spring to Summer just… happen?
* High Priestess: You have much to learn. You’ll find this island to be different, in ways big and small. Gather the items and brew this potion, then we can begin.

Part 1: Brew a spirit flame potion for the Summer Ritual.

* Tara: I’ve brought the Spirit Flame potion.
* High Priestess: Well done. Be aware that the crops that thrive in Spring will wilt under the Summer sun. It's best you finish any tasks that still need to be done. Now – are you ready to say goodbye to Spring?
* --[Choice: No, there’s more to do]
	+ Tara: No, I have a few things to do before we change the season.
	+ High Priestess: Very well. Come speak to me when you are ready.
* --[Choice: Yes, I’m ready]
	+ Tara: Yes, I am ready for some Summer sun!
	+ High Priestess: Wonderful. Let us begin. Take your place in the circle.
* High Priestess: And so we begin the turning of the seasons, just as our ancestors have done for thousands of years. Novice, pour the Spirit Flame into the fire.
* Acolyte: We say goodbye to the gentle sun of Spring.
* Farseer: We welcome the golden dawn of Summer.
* Novice Tara: … Um… yes! We… turn the seasons… like they said!

* [Farmhouse]

* Gramma: Oh, honeybee, you’re here.
* Tara: ‘Course I am, Gramma.
* Gramma: For a moment, I thought you were Robert coming to collect me. I felt a warm breeze…
* Tara: Yes, we turned the seasons, that’s all.
* Gramma: Still a skeptic, I see. But there is still so much you haven’t seen… still so much to learn and do! Oh! I’ve done my best to take care of Violet since her mother disappeared…
* Tara: Don’t worry, I promise I’ll be here for her.
* Gramma: I know you will, sweetheart. You’re going to do great. I’m proud of you. I’m so glad you came back to see me.
* Tara: Me too. I just wish we had more time.
* Gramma: We had time enough. You’ve learned how to run the farm…
* Tara: I’ll take good care of it for you!
* Gramma: And I know you can bring the community and the coven together! Promise me you’ll remember everything I’ve taught you.
* Tara: I promise.
* Gramma: You will be a marvelous witch! I can already see your powers blooming! It’s time for me to rest now. Take care, my beautiful little honeybee! I love you.
* Tara: I love you too, Gramma.

* [Cemetery]

* Tara: Goodbye, Gramma Hazel. I’ll take up your mantle and protect the town. You can rest now.
* Otto: Today, we say goodbye to one of this town’s finest citizens, Hazel Wylde. Her dear friend, Lina, is going to say a few words.
* Lina: Hazel was my mentor, yes, but she was more than that. She was always giving. Advice, a bowl of soup, a basket of fresh eggs. She never, ever gave up on those she loved. And she loved this island more than anything. And now she’s given us Tara. We’re so glad you’re here. It means Hazel hasn’t really left us.
* Tara: Thanks, Lina.

* [Outside cemetery]

* Westley: Hello. You’re Hazel’s granddaughter? I’m Westley.
* Tara: I’ve never seen you around before.
* Westley: Oh, I don’t live in Fairhaven.
* Tara: Oh, I see! So you came over on the ferry from Milkwater? Well, thanks for taking the time to come all that way.
* Westley: Um, of course. I wanted to come pay my respects. Hazel was a wonderful friend. Oh, and I have this for you. I run a rare bookshop, you see. Hazel had me fix up the binding on this old family heirloom. I know she would have wanted you to have it.
* Tara: Oh, thank you so much.
* Westley: Well, I should go. Nice to meet you, Tara.
* Tara: Nice to meet you, too.
* [Westley leaves]
* Tara: Wait… that’s not the way to the ferry…

Part 2: Head home to the farm house and prepare for the season ahead.

* Tara: Finally, a moment to myself. Now I can look at the book that man – Westley? – gave me. Hmm, this looks like a journal. Gramma’s journal! This is her handwriting! On the front flap, it says, “To my dear niece, to record thoughts both mundane and magical. Vivian.” Vivian was Gramma’s aunt. She must’ve been a witch, too! Here’s the first entry: “Today’s chores took me through the portal, where I spoke at length with the fairies-“ Did she write fairies? Maybe I’m misreading the writing. Or maybe there’s even more to discover on this island than I realized.
