Day 10
I got up extra early this morning and headed out to report in with General Troima who named me an honorary Dragon Knight! I'm officially a Dragon Knight! Unfortunately my first order of business seemed rather mundane. To collect 10 batches of Creepshell Silica. I guess even the best Dragon Knights have to start somewhere. I headed to Rienne Lookout and took the balloon to the Shadow Gorge where I was told they lived. I easily collected the Creepshell Silica and headed back to Troima who then told me about an enemy scout that I was to exterminate. Now that sounds more like Dragon Knight work! The scout was located back in the Shadow Gorge a little further in then I had been originally so back I went. I quickly spotted the spy from my vantage point in the balloon and quickly took it out once I landed then reported back to Troima. Troima told me my efforts were in vain for the enemy had already attacked our supply train and he wanted me to go help get the supplies back. There were about half a dozen enemies attacking which were easily dispatched then I was given the supplies to deliver to the unit waiting further south. After delivering the supplies I was asked to trigger the alert to call the hidden soldiers, but rather then allies the enemy showed up! I hurried back to Troima to report to him what happened. I was then ordered to investigate the supply warehouse in East Helm, just outside the Foul Baruk Campground. When I got there the warehouse was infected with the enemy! I went in and cleaned out the enemy pretty quickly then reported the situation back to Troima as well as requested reinforcements for the supply warehouse. Troima told me he had the supply warehouse situation taken care of and ordered me to give a status report to General Greiakos in Rienne Lookout. Greiakos was surprised to hear it had escalated so much then asked me to discuss the situation with the other commanding officers. First up was Captain Uviell in Tirun Lookout. Captain Uviell had a special task for me. Seems the Truuks have been selling weapons and Uviell wants me to find out where. I met up with Uviell's spy near the entrance to the Shadow Gorge. When I got there however the spy had been attacked and wounded by a Truuk Warrior. Or so I thought. Either way the spy gave me a note to take back to Uviell. The Truuks are conspiring with the other tribes, but to what end is still unknown. Upon completion of that task I was ordered to report back to Troima.

Day 9
I got up and headed back to Nasdaim and took a leisurely walk around town just talking to the locals and gathering intel when one of the locals asked me check in with someone else about a delivery that was supposed to be made. Since I had nothing better to do I went along with it. I ended up having to hunt it down. Come to find out they had mistaken me for one of their undercover scouts who had been killed by the Rogs. I got to meet the leader of the group who asked me to join them. I thought it'd be within my best interests to do so. He then told me about a shipment of Siege Engines who's caravan he lost contact with and asked me to go check up on them. Upon arrival to the last point of contact I was greeted by a lone person who told me they had been ambushed by the Rogs who made off with the Siege Engines. I was told they were in the next clearing and that there would be a Siege Engine he called Firebrand sitting there that I would be able to pilot. Sure enough there it was. The thing was huge!
I excitedly jumped in to the Firebrand and took out the surrounding enemies, but no other Siege Engines were to be found. I reported back to Hidis who went into despair about all the other Siege Engines being taken. I felt kind of sorry for him, but there was not else I could do.
I headed back to Bijumir and collected another, rather simple task which required me to collect some poison sacks from 2 monsters so that High Priest Croteus could study them and make an antidote. After turning the poison sacks in High Priest Croteus asked me to get Prial Wings from Rickles in North Helm. I manage to find Rickles easily enough, but he tells me that I'm too late to get the Prial Wings from him because a band of thieves had just recently come by and stole them. He also said he hurt one of the thieves pretty badly so they're moving slow and if I hurried I should be able to catch them. I took off running in the direction he indicated but rather then catch up to the thieves I found one of them laying, dying on the beach who also told me I was too late. Am I starting to see a trend here? I sprinkled some of the water Croteus gave me before I headed out on a large stone nearby to communicate with him. I gave Croteus a break down of what happened and he told me to look for four Neo Steam pillars saying it is what they used to communicate. I headed further up the beach and sure enough found four Neo Steam pillars and headed back to the large stone to in form Croteus and get an update. Croteus told me to go back and rotate the north one twice, the west one once, the south one four times, and the east one three times. I'm beginning to wonder how he knows so much about these particular pillars. After performing the instructed actions on the pillars a secret compartment opened up and inside I found the Prial Wings I was told to retrieve.
I returned to Croteus with the Prial Wings who then told me to report to Ruirven in Nasdaim. I jumpped on the subway and headed for Nasdaim. Ruirven asked me about becoming a Dragon Knight and to report to Major Macham in the Ancient Ruins just outside Nasdaim. Major Macham began my initiation into the order and told me based on my past acts of bravery I was exempted from the trials and that all that I had to take care of was my rite of passage. That being to slay a Dracon. Sounds easy enough. I headed off to North Helm to clash with this foe. Dispatching the Dracon was a lot easier then Major Macham made it out to be and with axe in hand I happily headed back to report of my success. Upon handing the axe to Major Macham a stark look of surprise hit his face. He told me that the axe I brought back wasn't the type used by the Dracons they hunted and asked me to take it to Dervius the Third in Nasdaim who's an expert in dragonology. Dervius told me that these Dracons always travel in groups of four and that the other three wouldn't be happy that I slew their friend and that I would have to slay them as well before they hurt innocent people, but first I would have to report to Macham. Dervius also gave me a tip that the Dracons grow stronger with flame and that I should use an Ice Crystal to defeat them. I checked back in with Macham and then headed back to where I slew the first Dracon to hunt down and slay the other three. Upon returning to Macham after slaying the other three Dracons he gave me my Dragon Knight Insignia and made me an unofficial Dragon Knight saying the Knighting Ceremony would take place once the General returned at which point I would become an official Dragon Knight. He also mentioned that I would be working under General Troima and that I was to report to him first thing in the morning. I decided to head back to my room and call it a night. Sounds like I'm going to have a busy day tomorrow.

Day 8
Upon waking this morning and leaving my room I found myself in a strange shop. While wondering how I ended up here I looked around and saw many strange items from large, mountable creatures to strange and cute accessories, to other items with different usages. While browsing the shop I noticed it used Crowns rather then gold so I decided to look for a way back, but while looking for a way back I noticed a counter that I swear wasn't there before. Sitting behind the counter was a figure waring dark robes that covered everything. The robed figure offered to exchange some of my gold for Crowns so I took them up on their offer and went on a small shopping spree. After browsing around for a bit I decided to buy some horns, Devil Wings, and a microphone. After finishing up my purchases I found myself outside the building I was staying at.
I headed back to Anwyn to see if she had any new discoveries about the Terrawhale. From the tests she performed on the samples she managed to get from the Terrawhale she discovered that there was some sort of parasite infecting the Terrawhale causing it to be more aggressive. She then asked me to re-enter the Terrawhale and make my way to its heart where it had rooted and destroy it. I agreed without thought because I had grown rather fond of the Terrawhale while running around inside it. While buying supplies in preparation I met an Elf named Lirvell, a Taxan named Elegie, another Elf named Asper, and a Taurine named Nifes who were also looking to save the Terrawhale. Upon reaching the Terrawhale's heart we found the parasite attached to it and in order to scrape it off we needed to collect moss from Mossy Stones. We gathered the moss and scraped off the parasite, but the parasite wasn't just a mere parasite. It was huge and very unhappy we removed it from its feeding spot. After a grueling battle we came out the victors. I managed to come out unscathed due to my new pet protecting me throughout the entire fight. We then parted ways and I headed back to Anwyn to tell her the good news and she gave me an Off-Road Buggy as thanks. I then headed back to my room to lay down and relax. Seems I passed out from exhaustion from the battle.

Day 7
I woke up this morning to a bright, beautiful, sunny day. I headed down to the gate where the guard that was calling for help the other day was located, but today she had a satisfied look on her face and was no longer calling for help. I guess she got the help she was looking for. I headed back over to Anwyn where I was immediately greeted with “Hey, you're the one from yesterday. Sorry about being too busy yesterday. What can I help you with?” I asked her about getting a Mining Buggy, but she seemed to have completely ignored me and started talking about some Terrawhale. She went on to tell me how one has grown increasingly violent lately and asked me to go inside it and investigate. I honestly feel pretty uneasy about this task, but seeing as I'm wanting something from her I figure this is the least I could do. I found my way back to the field of that strange flower where I was told the Terrawhale resides and sure enough far off in the distance I saw a huge shadow that could only be the Terrawhale. I finally caught up to it and was surprised to find it was about as big as a house!
I petted the Terrawhale gently and it opened its mouth and let me in. On my way through the Terrawhale I met a strange little ape-man who seemed stuck. Upon talking to him I learned his name was Prink and he had come to check up on the Terrawhale only to become stuck in the Terrawhale's Esophagus. In order to free him I had to go back to Bijumir and get Gerin Paste from Blizia. I managed to get the Gerin Paste from Blizia without a hitch, though she kinda freaked me out a little... I brought the Gerin Paste back to Prink and managed to get him out safely and easily. He barely thanked me before running off screaming about food. Poor guy must have been trapped here for a long time to be that hungry. After spending an eternity wandering around I finally managed to make my way to the stomach. Inside I found these large, spiked balls that didn't look very friendly and decided it'd be best to avoid them.
After barely making it through those spiked balls with my skin intact I managed to make it just outside the intestines where a giant, mossy creature was currently engaged with some warrior so I made my way stealthily by them and into the intestines where I made my observations and then headed back to Anwyn. She was thankful that I didn't notice anything wrong with the Terrawhale and asked me to come back later while she pondered about the cause of the Terrawhale acting up. Since I had nothing else to do I decided to jump on the Subway and check out Cerity Praha Castle. I wandered around the castle not very impressed with the insides until I came across a spectacular, gold Dragon statue. I was completely mesmerized.
It started to get late so I decided to head back to the center of the castle where the shops and subway were when I heard the Subway Conductor call out for the last train. I had little choice but to get on since I had a room at the inn in Bijumir and I didn't feel like paying for something here in Cerity Praha that I already had in Bijumir and I had to go back to Bijumir anyways and see Anwyn in the morning. By the time I got back to Bijumir it was pretty late so I went to the inn and called it a day.
