===Accepting the Quest=== | |||
'''Kurenai:''' You are ready to depart? Excellent. Let us make for Onokoro. I believe we will best be served by beginning our search there. | |||
'''Kurenai:''' You see, while we have next to no contact with the outside world, we do receive the occasional visit from the Kojin of the Blue. | |||
'''Kurenai:''' During one such visit, I was given a tome filled with faerie tales. It was old, worn, and─from what I am given to understand─written in Kugane. | |||
'''Kurenai:''' In it was a story about a fisherman who sailed the Ruby Sea. While traveling, he came across a princess who had fallen into a years-long slumber. She was eventually awakened upon taking an elixir of some sort. | |||
'''Kurenai:''' What intrigues me, however, is the fact that many of the places this fisherman visited exist in the real world. It makes me wonder if, perhaps, this story is rooted in reality. | |||
'''Kurenai:''' The tale begins in Onokoro. I trust you will escort me there? | |||
'''Kurenai:''' Thank you. Now, let us depart without any further ado. | |||

'''Shiosai:''' It seems her Grace is determined to go to Onokoro. Of all places, why must she have chosen an island frequented by bloodthirsty pirates? Please, whatever happens, see that no harm comes to her. | |||
'''Boisterous Pirate:''' Apologies, my friend, but I will not be able to help you right now. I must give this young lady a tour of our island. | |||
== | ===Speaking with Kurenai=== | ||
'''Kurenai:''' So this is Onokoro... It is a lovely place. The people here are incredibly warm. Take this gentleman, for example. As soon as I set foot on the island, he offered to take me on a tour. | |||

'''Boisterous Pirate:''' You are looking to learn more about a faerie tale? Hm... I know nothing of faeries or tales, but mayhap I can direct you to someone who does. | |||
'''Boisterous Pirate:''' There is a fisherman who visits us once a year to hunt for treasure. Some of the men here say he is as old as the seas themselves. I reckon he, of anyone, would be able to tell you your story. | |||
'''Boisterous Pirate:''' Luckily for you, he just arrived the other day. You should be able to find him at the Quickscape Pier. | |||
'''Kurenai:''' Thank you for your assistance, sir. We will go speak with him right now. | |||

It was there that their journey together began. They visited temples, palaces, and villages under the sea. They met all manner of men, women, and creatures...including a beautiful princess, who had fallen into a deep, deep slumber. According to her people, she had been like that for years. Hearing this, the Kojin pulled out another vial containing an ancient Tamamizu potion, which had been passed down to him from his great-grandfather. Or perhaps his great-great-grandfa─ Ahem. To continue with the story, upon being given this mixture the princess was instantly awakened. The moment their eyes met, she and the fisherman fell in love. They were immediately wed in a palace at the bottom of the sea, where they lived happily ever after. | '''Elderly Fisherman:''' I recall now...

“The Ruby Princess is waiting for you to join her.
— In-game description
Steps
Journal
- The Ruby Princess is waiting for you to join her.
- The Ruby Princess would like to look into the origins of a peculiar faerie tale regarding a sea-faring fisherman and a princess who had been plunged into a years-long slumber. She believes the island of Onokoro holds some of the answers she seeks.
- You seek out the princess, who has been approached by one of the natives of the island─a Confederate pirate. While he starts to get a bit smart with you, it does not take long for him to recognize exactly who you are. Brushing it off as a joke, he then urges you to speak with a fisherman who comes to visit the island once a year. According to the pirate this man knows a great deal about faerie tales, and is currently docked at the Quickscape Pier.
- As the fisherman tells it: long ago a Kojin of the Blue was saved from certain death by a Hyuran fisherman. The grateful Kojin rewarded this man with the promise of an adventure and a vial of liquid that would allow him to breathe indefinitely underwater. Following him to the depths of the seas, the fisherman and Kojin traveled together, eventually coming across a princess who had been asleep for years in her palace. The Kojin, seeing this, produced another vial that instantly woke the princess. Hearing this story, Kurenai concludes the palace mentioned in the faerie tale is Shisui of the Violet Tides and would like to return to Sui–no–Sato to conduct further investigations.
- Kurenai and you are joined by Shiosai, the overseer. After informing him of all that you have learned from your trip to the surface, he reveals that one of the ancient stories of Sui–no–Sato spoke of a Ruby Princess who wed a Hyuran man. Suspecting that the fisherman's faerie tale is closer to an account of historical events, Kurenai would like to travel with you to Tamamizu to ask the Kojin of the Blue about the elixir for eternal sleep.

Accepting the Quest
Kurenai: You are ready to depart? Excellent. Let us make for Onokoro. I believe we will best be served by beginning our search there. Kurenai: You see, while we have next to no contact with the outside world, we do receive the occasional visit from the Kojin of the Blue.
