Iason

(Version 1)

▶ "Yep, no grand adventure's complete without a dromas!"

(Version 2)

▶ "Ah, you also like dromases? Then consider us friends!"

Iason: No grand adventure is complete without a dromas! Hey there, stranger. Judging by that glint in your eyes, you're a fan of dromas just like me, right?

Iason: I'm Iason, the manager of this caravan "Argo." All dromas in Okhema are my good friends, and I'm the one who gave each of them a name.

You named all the dromases?

Iason: Exactly. Asterion, Euphemus, Castor, Pollux, and the mightiest of them all, Heracles — all solid names.

What does your caravan trade in?

Iason: Everything! Argo used to just carry bulk goods, but times have been rough, so we've expanded our business.

Iason: Things aren't as calm as they used to be. If you need to move anything into Okhema or find something rare, Argo's your safest bet. Trust me, Heracles is just as dependable as the Chrysos Heirs!

(Subsequent interactions)

Iason: Legend has it that in the Era Chrysea eons ago, there was this massive airship called Argo, whose captain was also named Iason. Iason sailed the world with his dromas buddies, helping out those in need, much like the Chrysos Heirs do these days.

Iason: Friend, I can see that spark in your eyes — the yearning for adventure with your dromas buddies. Am I right?

What rare stuff do you have?

Iason: Feel free to pick out anything that catches your eye. Sadly, my stock's running low these days, and all I've got left are dromas souvenirs.

You seem well-versed in dromas.

Iason: You've found the dromas master! Down at the workshop, they all call me the Dromas Idol Producer! When it comes to these marvelous creatures, I'm your go-to person! Whose story catches your eye?

Let's talk about Asterion.

Iason: Asterion has been on quite the journey, starting from the time they were chosen as the first living being under the protection of KephaleWorldbearing Titan, all the way to when the young dromas began exploring the world.

Iason: Unfortunately, those arduous adventures have taken their toll on Asterion, causing a deep anxiety disorder known as agoraphobia.Reluctance to Meet People

Iason: If you ever catch Asterion seeking solace in their sanctuary,barn please remember they're just an old hero looking for retirement.

Let's talk about Euphemus.

Iason: Euphemus is a close comrade of Asterion, and the mightiest dromas after Heracles. We once made it to Corchis just before the black tide hit and managed to salvage its legendary treasures...

Iason: Four crates packed with rubber ducks!

Iason: Yeah, that was an unlucky trip. I admit, I was hoping for some real treasures in those crates, but those rubber ducks barely covered our costs.

Iason: I should have just popped open those crates right there and let those ducks ride the black tide...

Let's talk about Castor and Pollux.

Iason: Castor and Pollux are a pair of young dromases. Castor is a bit older than Pollux, and neither has faced any life-or-death adventures yet.

Iason: However, in preparation for their future business, I've concocted a cool pitch that could make them the ultimate duo! Let me share it with you!

Iason: Through the Chrysalis of GoldRomance Titan's grace, we present to you a rare pair of twin dromases, Castor and Pollux! Hailing from GeoriosEarth Titan, these two boast impressive teamwork and confidence, much like two Chrysos Heirs gearing up for their heroic fate!

Iason: ...Lady Aglaea won't consider this false advertising, right?

Let's talk about Heracles.

Iason: Aha! You've finally brought up my favorite, Heracles! Let me tell you, he's not just the strongest and smartest dromas around today — Even if Sabany came back from the black tide, no dromas there would outshine him!

Iason: Heracles has been my loyal partner through countless impossible tasks. Among them, I've dubbed the toughest twelve challenges he faced as The Twelve Trials of Heracles. Eager to hear more about his adventures? I've penned an epic just for Heracles. Here, take a copy.

Wish you all the best in your business.

Iason: Thank you! Feel free to swing by and grab anything that catches your eye! Catch you later!

"Fallen Twilight City" Okhema

Iason: Ah... it's you. With you here, everyone should feel much more at ease.

What are you doing...

Iason: Patrolling and keeping basic order, as you can see.

Iason: So much has happened today... I'm actually pretty nervous myself. But panic doesn't help, it only makes things worse — anyone who's herded dromas knows this.

Iason: So, partly to help myself stay calm, I started doing this. The Era Nova is probably like reincarnation, right? I just hope everyone can transition smoothly to their next life...

Are the dromas okay?

Iason: Oh, the dromas are much more composed, compared to us!

Iason: As GeoriosEarth Titan's beloved creatures, they probably understand the true meaning of Era Nova better than we do...

Iason: World ending or not, life goes on, right?

So you believe in Era Nova?

Iason: Well, you kinda have to, right?

Iason: Look, if Professor Anaxa is lying, we basically have just a few days left to live, right? But if we only have a few days—

Iason: Why not let ourselves feel more secure and calm?

Iason: So we still end up believing in Era Nova, haha. So why torture yourself, right?

Farewell.

Iason: Mmm, until we meet again!

Iason: I hope in the next world, we'll still be partners with the dromas!

Heracles: Grumphhhhh—

Mnemosyne the Guard: Whoa, big guy. Glad you still remember us.

Zeph: I still remember when you showed up at Okhema's gate for the first time, all banged up with two injured people on your back. Scared the life out of us back then.

Iason: My dear guards! I'm sure you'd be interested in the bound edition of Twelve Labors of Dromas Heracles—

Mnemosyne the Guard: Thanks, friend. I'm quite interested indeed, but we've seen it way too many times already... Sorry.

Zeph: The bound edition comes with new illustrations.

Mnemosyne the Guard: Oh... well, why not? How many Balance Coins?

Iason: No need! Here, take it! Just remember to visit the dromases more often!

Heracles: Grumphhhhh—
