Old Wayfarer

Wood heart rations! Ah, many thanks! And what do you need?

Are you going to show me the fish you got? SureNo

Where is it? Heh heh! Let's see it...

This... This is the legendary fish, Neptoona!

This is the first time I have gazed into its mighty eyes! For you to have caught the living embodiment of the romance of the sea... Young man! You have the most adventurous heart! For truly seizing the spirit of wayfaring adventure, a gift!

Our mutual passion for the wayfaring life bonds us as brothers! Bravo, young man! You have followed your heart! You are truly... the legendary romantic!

What's this?! Look here! There's a little stowfish latched on to the fish! That little fish of pure adventure symbolizes the wayfarer's lifestyle. You... You're naive, yes, but you know what it is to follow your heart. Heh heh! I think this little discovery deserves a small gift!

You're very bold, young wayfarer!

This sword is sharp, like my passion for adventure! This is a rusty swordfish!

Heh heh! Impressive... Rusty swordfish are backbreakers, even for bold men of passion like myself! Nice work, young man. Because your skills quite equal mine, you more than deserve this gift.

Ah! I think a courageous fisherman such as yourself can do it. Lately, fish shadows have been sighted on the sea's surface. Rumors are swirling among the bold and hearty fishermen... The legendary fish, Neptoona, surfaces once again! If you were to catch one, you would truly be...the legendary romantic!

Such a stern yet distinctive and manly expression...like my own! There is no doubt. This is a loovar!

Phew! Impressive! Even for a romantic fisherman like myself, it's a rare treat to see a loovar! Nice work, young man. Looks like you've got the aura that beckons the fish. I think this gift is appropriate. It's yours!

As long as you have that, it should be easier for you to catch great fish! When you've caught a rare one, don't hesitate to come see me!

It seems you have yet to catch a new fish...

The legendary fish, Neptoona... It's the essence of the romance of the sea! Young man! You follow your wayfaring heart! I salute you, legendary romantic!

Hoo-yah! That's quite a rusty swordfish! It gives me a hankering to stare into the steely eyes of Neptoona! Heh heh!

That loovar is a handsome, passionate fish! Yes, it has a certain fishy manliness! Keep bringing these legendary fish to me!

This is a common fish that I have seen many times on the seas... But there are many fish in the sea. Becoming a true wayfarer takes time.

You still haven't caught the big one, have you? The sea still hides many prized fish... You need to show your wayfaring spirit!

Hey, now! Did you think you could impress me with such a common fish? That's a bit presumptuous of you... True wayfarers have standards, you know!

What?!

Are you going to show me the great fish you caught? OKNo

If you've got the time to spend loitering around here, why don't you go fishing?

Ahh! You have proven the true passion for adventure you possess, young man! Your present is in the treasure chest in back. Take it with you!

Ah, young wayfarer, show me what you caught! SureNo

Ah, young man! Show me what you hauled in! SureNo

Keep your eyes on the map when you're steaming across the open sea. Like magic, fish shadows will appear... Ahh, the sea has many mysteries! When you're right above one, tap Fish on the Menu to use your fishing rod!

If you catch a big one, come show it to me! It'll be worth your voyage.

Haha! I finally met the mermaid of my dreams! Never would I have dreamed the mermaid would come to ME! You had a hand in this, young man, and so I want to give you this!

I had that fishing rod made so that I could hook the mythical mermaid, but... I obviously don't need it anymore...so you can have it!

Oh, but I have quite a challenge to stoke the fire of adventure in your heart! You must sail the seas, fishing for mighty catches like I did in my youth. While at sea, keep an eye out for fish shadows! Go to where the fish are! When you are above them, tap Fish from the Menu! And that's when the true romance of the sea will grip you!

Mmmph... I wonder if the majestic mermaid is off with some other older man?

Ah! Young man! Have you found her, the mermaid? YesNot yet

WHAT?! My wayfaring heart is filled with the thrill and romance of adventure! You found the mermaid, and she enjoys listening to old wayfarer's tales?! And she said that she would come visit me one day?!

Ahh... I'm a fool to believe such a wild tale. How could you toy with the hopes of my romantic, wayfaring heart?! I've been waiting here, but no mermaids fond of tales of wayfaring have come.

Or...could it be? She must have met another old wayfarer to enchant with her mermaidish song...

I thought so...

The mermaid, she is a sly, elusive creature. She will not show herself if monsters lurk nearby. If you see one, you must get her attention! Show off your wayfaring heart!

Ah! This is the place for those who hunger for the romance of adventure! This is the Wayfaring Island, young man. Ahaha!

So, go on...tell me! Did you find...it? It?Umm...

Hey, now! You can tell me! There are no secrets between men of adventure! You came to this distant island in search of the elusive beast... The mystical creature that bewitches sailors from the waters of this island... You came in search of the mythical mermaid, right? Huh?No

What?! Wayfarers must always be looking for adventure! In my search for the mystical creature, the mermaid... I sacrificed many of life's pleasures...friends, family, good snacks... I gave it all up to search for the mermaid. Take this pool, for example!

That is where the majestic creature will lounge once I capture her! This pool cost a hefty fortune...for a man who follows his wayfaring heart. You are young. With age, I have learned to approach life's quests with passion!

So, young man, if you see a mermaid, you'll tell me right away, won't you? We men of adventure must stick together!
