Story

The offer

Hmm, did you say something?

Oh, I'm sorry. I must be hearing things again. It's Daeva, right?

I don't know why, but I've had trouble sleeping recently. It's strange. Whenever I do manage to drift off, I'm awake again just minutes later. I'm so tired now that I just can't concentrate.

I haven't changed my routine or anything, so I can't figure out what's going on at all. I just wish I could just get some sleep, even for just an hour or so.

  • You ask why he can’t sleep.

I don’t know why but I’m suffering from insomnia. I’ve thought really hard about what the caused could be, but nothing comes to mind.

After an exhausting day of felling trees, I should be able to fall asleep no problem.

There’s nothing more I want than an hour’s deep sleep.

Whatever the reason, I just wish I could sleep.

  • You ask if you can help.

I was so clueless and asked Melampus to lend me a book on insomnia. He gave me a book called Encyclopaedia of the Wise. The book contained ways to counter insomnia.

You can beat insomnia by consuming 5 Sylphen Wings.

Do you know what Sylphens smell like? They stink to high heaven! I wonder how you’re supposed to eat them…

Besides, as a woodcutter, it’s hard for me to catch flying Sylphens.

Would you do this favour for me?

  • Accept.
  • Decline.

Thank you very much. Catch Everglade Sylphen and bring me 5 wings. You’ll find lots of Sylphens at the entrance to the forest.

Then take the 5 Sylphen Wing to Uno and ask him to prepare a tasty dish out of them. And it shouldn’t stink of fish if at all possible.

I’d be very grateful for your help.

You are my only hope.

  • "All right. I'll be back soon."

Journal

Namus is suffering from insomnia. Apparently, you can sleep if you eat 5 Sylphen Wings, but they smell terrible.

Take the 5 Sylphen Wings to Uno and ask him to prepare a tasty dish out of them.

Along the way

... just add a drop of Meon, a pinch of Salt, Basil and two Clov...

Oh, Daeva! What brings you here?

  • "I have a culinary challenge for you..."

What’s all this? You come here empty-handed and ask me to cook something for you?

First bring me the Sylphen Wings so I can use them to cook something.

Once you have brought me the 5 Sylphen Wings, we’ll talk about whether or not I can prepare the dish.

  • "I'll be back soon."

Hmm, I've never heard that about Everglade Sylphens... but at least now I know what that awful smell is--you've brought the wings!

Namus is right to ask for help. These are too disgusting to eat, no matter what their healing properties.

Now, do I mix the wings into a sweet juice or, perhaps, a soup with fragrant herbs? Which do you think would work best?

  • "Let's try a soup."
  • "Sylphen juice, please."

Cooking Sylphen Soup is really easy.

You add various herbs, vegetables and then the Sylphen Wing to boiling water…

And done. Sylphen Soup.

  • "I'll head back to the forest right away."

Stir a little honey into the fruit juice… Oh, and the Sylphen Wing too, of course.

The fruit is fresh and covered with lots of honey so that it doesn’t smell of fish.

And done. Sylphen Juice. Take it straight to Namus.

  • "It smells great! Thanks Uno!"

Oh, it's you. Daeva, wasn't it? Have you brought me back something to help me sleep, or did I ask someone else? I can't remember anymore, I'm so tired.

Isn't it a little too hot to be eating soup? Oh, it doesn't matter--I'd take pretty much anything right now if it'd help me sleep.

Eugh... I can smell the Sylphen Wing from here.

  • "Did it work?"

What kind of fruit juice is this? I’m thirsty anyway. Very nice.

*glug, glug*

Ah, how refreshing! That was good.

  • "Sylphen wine, of course. Did it work?"

Do you have it? Is it ready?

Please help me. I can't take much more of this.

  • "I'll see what I can do."

Reward

I can't tell just yet. Ugh, what a taste!

My head does feel clearer, though. I might be able to sleep now. If the taste of this soup doesn't keep me awake.

Thank you very much for helping me. I won't forget it.

Really? Uno did a fantastic job, I couldn't taste the Sylphen at all!

I feel a lot better now. My head is clear, and I think I might finally get some sleep.

Thank you very much for helping me. I won't forget it.

Completion

You successfully hunted Sylphen for their wings to help Namus, a woodcutter struggling from acute insomnia.

Their bad smell makes them almost impossible to eat, so you asked Uno to make them edible. Namus ate the remedy Uno created and then felt better right away.
