; '''My name is Adventurer(player name)!''' 

; '''Wait, you're a mortal?''' Yes, I'm effectively mortal! We all are! Well... not as mortal as you , obviously... I guess I'm being insensitive. I'm sorry!; '''I don't really understand.''' 

Our city held the Winter army at bay for a while, but then the armies just packed up and left. And that night, new creatures arriedarrived. They were huge, made of metal, and nothing I did hurt them at all. I am an accomplished mage as well as a warrior, but my best spells barely moved them. I was powerless.!

; '''That sounds painful.''' Each time I was concious conscious for only a moment, just long enough to realize that I remembered less than I did before. I was... dying!

; '''Are you feeling better not?''' Yes, I'm better now. Many of my memories came back. But my friend [[Midge the Apothecary|Midge]]... she's broken! She doesn't even remember me. The Mige Midge I knew really is dead. Or... well, at least she's missing!; '''So you're equating amnesia with... death?''' Well, I guess amnesia is sort of like death. But no, [[Midge the Apothecary|Midge ]] doesn't just have amnesia: I have to keep reintroducing myself to her, almost every day! She came back wrong! And dying again doesn't fix her! She's broken! And I was almost broken , too!

; {{Spoiler|You need to toughen up. You just don't have the luxury of fear right now!|{{Quote|I'm TRYING! I'm trying my best, mortal! You think it's easy being this afraid?! It's hard! I keep hearing things out in the wilderness, and I remember being so scared. And I just shut down! I just need a little while to get my bearings. A few years to figure things out. I know I owe [[Pegast]]... and I will make it up to him eventually. I have vowed it. I made a fucking VOW! ... I guess you wouldn't know this, but vows are a pretty big deal to fairies. I just need a little time. '''Of course. I'll... leave you be?''' Oh, okay, sure. I mean, I could use your help with some favors, but... well, [[Midge the Apothecary|Midge]] needs your help a lot more! Anyway, thanks for listening. '''Sure.'''}}}}{{Spoiler|After what you've been through, being afraid is natural.|{{Quote|That's kind of you to say! I wish [[Pegast]] felt that way. I owe him *everything*, and he needs my help, and he doesn't understand why I can't fight.

; '''That sounds like a good plan.'''}}

}}}}{{Quote|source=[[Floxie]]I just don't have the courage of a hunter right now. But I'm practicing with these bows... when I can get my fear under control, I'll be ready!}}{{Quote|As long as there's a chance I could lose my memories, I'm hardly immortal at all! And somehow, eternal death sounds even scarier than being tortured by the [[Winter Queen]]!}}{{Quote|sourceI've just got to figure out what it means to be mortal. That's all there is to it. In the mean time I'm going to grow vegetables. Nothing dangerous!}}===Small Talk ==={{Spoiler|Variation 1|{{Quote|I don't care what [[FloxiePegast]]says: I'm not okay, and I'm not going hunting, and he can't make me. He can go be a scion elsewhere if he thinks he can boss me around.}}}}{{Spoiler|Variation 2|{{Quote|Have you met [[Midge the Apothecary|Midge]]? At least I'm not ... like her. But I could be. Any of us could be! That's not living. Which means we can die. It's really that simple.}}}}{{Spoiler|Variation 3|{{Quote|I love the way hunters from your realm use physical arrows in their bows. I switched to energy arrows centuries ago, but I've realized there's a huge benefit to your method: when your magic only has to activate accelerate a bit of wood, you can deal a LOT of damage without expending much energy! Clever mortals, perfecting something most fairies had abandoned!
