The wizard has deceived the King, and now he is trying to open the way to the Dark World. To complete your quest, you will need the Moon Pearl, which is in the tower on top of the mountain. All I can do for you now is to comfort your weariness… Come back here any time.
The Moon Pearl will protect its bearer from the magical air of the Golden Land, so you can keep your human shape there. All I can do for you now is comfort your weariness… Come back here any time.
Abracadabra alakazam! The true Hero will find the Moon Pearl in the mountain tower.
What do you want?! Do you have something to say to me, silly rabbit?! I came here to get the Power Of Gold but now I'm a freak and I can't go back to the real world! If I only had the Moon Pearl from the Tower Of Hera, I could go back to my original shape! I've got good reason to be stressed out! So back off! Shoo shoo!
WOW! Your shape didn't change! You got the Moon Pearl, huh?
