for the "Flames of Reflection" event.
Woof! It is HOT in here! Feels like walking through a desert that's also on fire. Still, if the legendary magmite ore really IS here, we need to find it. That stuff is loaded to bursting with flame mana, which means we can use it to make some kick-butt weapons! Yep! Findin' that ore is how we're gonna win the Golden Anvil a second time. I want us to make a weapon even more amazing than the one we made last time. So c'mon, Rena! Find that ore already! I have already begun to search. The ore is said to be found in places full of flame mana, which means... Yes! Let's check right over there! Uh, Sis? You're pointing at a fire. Like, literally INSIDE a fire. Hey, no one senses mana like our sis. So if she says there's ore in them thar flames, then I'm buyin' it come payday! Still, it's probably not smart for us to be pokin' around an actual fire. Think you can cool it down for us, Renee? Hee hee! Oh, you know I can. Here goes nothing! Well, poo. The flames are so darn hot, I can barely cool them down at all! Well, if you can't cool 'em down, then I'll have to adjust the temperature. Begone, O flames! Okay, that STILL didn't do anything?! While I find the prospect of leaping into those flames daunting, we may have no choice... The hell you will! But we will never achieve victory without that ore. Besides, Coach taught us all about how to handle a bit of heat! He taught us how to handle heat, not how to walk around in an actual freakin' FIRE! Renee's right. We'll just have to find some other way to win the Golden Anvil. Ach, lassies! Ye be the sisters from Regis's workshop, aye? Fancy runnin' into you lot here. Lazry? What are YOU doing here?! Oh, I'm always comin' here. One'a me favorite haunts, it be. You LIKE being this hot and miserable? Aye, the heat suits us rokkans to a T. 'Sides, ain't no better place to be gatherin' the ore me needs. But just a moment, now. Did ye three trig lassies ALSO come here for ore? Heck yeah! We're gonna use the magmite ore to make an awesome weapon and totally win the next Golden Anv— Quiet, ya dope! Stop spillin' secrets to our most bitter rival! Aw, hamburgers... Got your hands on some magmite, did ye? Impressive! That heat's too much for even a rokkan like me to be takin'. Actually, um...we haven't mined any yet. Ah, I see. Want a hand, then? Wait, WHAT?! What's wrong, lass? Ye look like a girl what dropped her hammer on the floor. Why would you possibly help us? If we use that ore to make somethin' amazing, it's gonna hurt your chances of winning the Golden Anvil! Aye. But if ye be makin' somethin' so fine, I'll just have to do ye one better. Woaaaaah. That be the true spirit of competition, aye? Sure, I guess. It's just impressive to see someone who's so...CONFIDENT. Right? I mean, you seem so laid-back, but we all know you can really bring it when it counts. It is one of your finest qualities. Not sure how much of a compliment that be, but I'll thank ye regardless. Still, if you are willing to help us after all that, we would very much appreciate it. Then less chatter, more...uh...mining! First, we need to cool that fire. Begone, O flames! Begone, I say! This cool enough for you, Lazry?! Aye, it'll do just fine. Just be careful, yeah? If you ever feel like you're in danger, get outta there! Right then. I'll be back in two shakes of a badger's tuckus. Goodness, but the rokkan are strong. Mmm, this isn't good. She's been gone for FAR too long. ...... I can't even hear her hammer anymore. Do you think she...you know? *gulp* Hang on, Lazry! We're comin' to save you! Whew! I'm back. About damn time! We were just gonna hop in there and start lookin' for you! Aye, I tried to mine as much as I could, so it took a bit longer than I wanted. Heavens, Lazry! This is so much ore! Aye, I forgot to ask how much ye'd be needin', so I just grabbed a whole pile. I can't believe you did all this for us. Still, you gotta let us make it up to you. Whaddya need? Just name it! Nay, I'm not owed nothin'. No way, pal! I don't like bein' in debt, so I'm gonna pay you back! Oh, I know! We could all go out on a big shopping trip together! What a wonderful idea! We'll buy a shiny new wardrobe for Lazry. Right then! It's settled. Get your shoppin' shoes on and meet us at the market. Aye, it's a date. ...A date, eh? My, but that feels nice. Still, good to know I can handle flames too hot for those three lassies. 'Course, I shouldn't be surprised, seein' as I'm rokkan and all... But maybe that be me key to victory!
