Mission Description

A cloudless day is the perfect weather for an open lecture on dromas studies. If you've got time, why not drop by and check it out?

"Eternal Holy City" Okhema

(Talk to Anaxa): Once upon a time, so the story goes, eight mighty mountains blocked the entrance to Okhema.; They cut off all paths to the city, making daily life a struggle for its citizens.; Then along came a dromas bigger than any mountain. One gulp later, seven mountains vanished, leaving only the one Kephale sits on now.; They named it the Super-Duper-Mega-Ultra-Dromas-Summit-Incisor-Litter-Launcher-Can'tMakeStuffUpAnymore — or "Dromasilla" for short.

Anaxa: That's just one of the 270 reasons I love dromases: Bigger is more beautiful! Which makes dromases the most beautiful creatures in the world!

Wait, for real?

That's quite the tall tale!

Wowwww!

Anaxa: Well, the story may be questionable, but it makes an interesting point. The dromas sizes we've seen are nowhere near what that species is truly capable of growing into.

Anaxa: Remember this egg in the Dromas Workshop? My research suggests it contains Dromasilla's soul. When it hatches, we might witness the birth of a new Super Dromas.

Anaxa: I need to go off-grid for a while. The egg is in your hands now. Keep the ignorant away from it, please.

Why did you pick me?

Anaxa: Castorice mentioned you had a great time with the dromases when you first got to Okhema. Anyone the dromases like is a good person in my book.

Off-grid? What for?

Anaxa: I'm researching how to hatch this egg, actually. I have thirty-two promising plans so far, but I need time to test them all.

Super Dromas? What's that?

Anaxa: The strongest, mightiest, most legendary of dromas-kind. The shepherd to all dromases, guiding all beings toward a better future... *Ahem* Let's leave it at that.

You can count on me!

Anaxa: Remember, if you need help, just look for Assistant Instructor Hyacine.

Later, at Curtain-Fall Hour...

(Trailblazer): I did absolutely nothing today. Why am I so tired?

???: Grum—Grumph... (H—Help...)

Who... Are... You?

A GHOST! Aaaah!

What's the matter?

???: Grumph... (I'm... stuck...)

Glancing around, you see the purple egg, now covered in cracks.

No one's near it... Is it hatching on its own? Right now? Hopefully nothing goes wrong!

(Trailblazer): Don't worry. I'm here to save you!

???: Grumph? (Hmm...?)

???: Grumphhh! (Thank you, (Papa/Mama)!)

Strangely enough, this future Super Dromas looks surprisingly... cute?

Aww, it's so cute! I'm keeping it.

No one can say no to something this cute. You feel an inexplicable fondness growing inside you.

Hey, I'm not your (Papa/Mama)!

???: Grumph! Grumph grumph! (No, don't go...)

By instinct or attachment, this newborn creature has decided to stick with you.

Wait, dromases can talk?

???: Grumph, grumph? (Talk? What is talk?)

No, it's just making "grumph" sounds. But you understand it perfectly. That's the Synesthesia Beacon for you. Amazing, right?

???: Grumph! (*Snuggles*)

*Gurgle*

???: Grumph...? ((Papa/Mama), why is my tummy growling?)

Trailblaze Mission Distant Travelers, Listen to this World's Prayer 3

Is it hungry? Dromases eat redsoil, if you recall... Fortunately, the Dromas Workshop has plenty of it.

Alright. What should you do?

Feed it some redsoil.

???: Grumph, grumph— (Hehe, (papa/mama) is the best.)

Then it gobbles up a whole bucket of redsoil. Nobody knows how that tiny body can hold so much.

Eat the redsoil yourself while it watches.

Learning is by example. You shove redsoil into your mouth, hoping for an amusing reaction—

Ugh... that's bitter—

???: Grumph! Grumph grumph. Grumph. ((Papa/Mama) looks so silly, haha. I'll try it too—)

Then it gobbles up all the remaining redsoil. Nobody knows how that tiny body can hold so much.

Try feeding it something else.

You search your pockets and find dozens of foods from different worlds, wondering which one it'll like.

It only takes 15 seconds to eat everything. Nobody knows how that tiny body can hold so much.

???: Grumph grumph! (Mmm! No more tummy sounds, thanks, (Papa/Mama)!)

Seeing how much it eats, this little one might really become a giant beast someday, just like in Anaxa's stories.

Pet its head.

???: Grumph...

Just simple sounds of happiness.

Pet its chin.

???: Grumph! Grumph... (Hehe... that tickles...)

Take a closer look at it.

It looks back at you with big, sparkly eyes.

???: Grumph... (Can't... stay awake...)

???: Grumph... (I'm... sleepy...)

Gentle breathing sounds fill the air. Your presence seems to help it sleep peacefully.

Stay with it.

You can't possibly leave it alone like this. Besides—

Check out the nearby area.

You try to sneak away without waking it... but can't.

Those tiny front paws have a death grip on your clothes, and they're not budging.

???: Grumph... ((Papa/Mama)...)

Clearly, you need to find an expert on this situation and get you free.

You remember what Anaxa said: "If you need help, just find Hyacine." Now's definitely the time!

Messages
Hyacine

(Trailblazer)

Doctor, I need help

Hyacine

Grayie?!

Are you hurt?

Where are you? I'm coming to find you!

It's not me. It's a dromas

(Trailblazer)

I'm fine. It's actually a little dromas

It fell asleep while holding me

I'm at the workshop

(Trailblazer)

I'm fine

Now with a sleeping dromas here in the workshop

Hyacine

Got it. I'll be right there

Wait for me, Grayie

Some time later...

Hyacine: So Grayie, you're saying Professor Anaxa left you with this egg while he went into seclusion to research hatching methods?

Hyacine: And then the egg just hatched by itself that night?

Yeah... that's what happened.

I honestly have no clue why.

Hyacine: Fascinating... From what I can tell, this little one seems fine, just a bit weak.

Hyacine: So, Grayie, what should we name this little one?

???: Grumph grumph! Grumph? (Ooooh! (Papa/Mama), I want a name! How about using your name with "Baby" in front?)

You immediately stop trying to understand how a single dromas noise can contain so much meaning.

When your eyes lock with it, the same colors shimmer in both your gazes. The perfect name comes to you.

(Trailblazer): Let's call it...

"Beast of Burden."

Hyacine: That sounds like a name Little Ciphy would come up with... and it's actually endearing. Are you sure about this one?

Yep, that's the name!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph grumph! (Beast of Burden!)

I'm having second thoughts.

"Mini Dromas."

Hyacine: Ah, a straightforward name. Surely it would be great pals with "Little Chimera."

Yep, that's the name!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhh~ (That sounds way cooler than "Little Dromas"!)

I'm having second thoughts.

"Dromasilla."

Hyacine: Oh? That name sounds a bit scary...

Yep, that's the name!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... grumph! (That sounds... green and clean!)

I'm having second thoughts.

What would you name it?

Hyacine: Me? Well... how about "Dromy"?

Yep, that's the name!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph grumph. (That's a baby name... like me!)

I'm having second thoughts.

Let me try another name.

"Trailblazer Jr."

Hyacine: Hehe, you're really one family now.

Yep, that's the name!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Yay! I can finally inherit (Papa's/Mama's) business!)

I'm having second thoughts.

"The Great Chimera."

Hyacine: I get it... Next time, should we name the baby seal "Round Chimera"?

Yep, that's the name!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (Yay! No more being a dromas for me!)

I'm having second thoughts.

"Uranus."

Hyacine: Sounds... pretty cool. Is it a name from a certain tome?

Yep, that's the name!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Wooooom... (Oola, oola~)

I'm having second thoughts.

"Dromasmas."

Hyacine: That's... hard to say out loud. Might be confusing for others. But if that's how you like it...

Yep, that's the name!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... Grumph? (Dro... Dro-what?)

I'm having second thoughts.

Let me try another name.

Hyacine: Well then, Excited Little Dromas, don't move while I check you over.

Hyacine: This young one's current physical condition... how should I say this... indicates significant potential for development.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (Too many big words. My brain hurts.)

They are still a baby. There's time.

Hyacine: True, there's no hurry. It probably just hatched too early.

What a disappointment!

Hyacine: Hey now — no need for that. It probably just hatched too early.

Yes! That's my little one!

Hyacine: I wasn't actually complimenting it... but let's not rush things. It probably just hatched too early.

Hyacine: Honestly, this little one is rather weak. Without special attention, it'll never grow into a proper dromas, or even get to enjoy its daily redsoil meals.

Hyacine: Unfortunately, I've got my hands full with work at the Twilight Courtyard, so... Grayie, would you be willing to look after it?

There's something I need to know first...

Hyacine: Of course, Grayie. I'll tell you whatever I know.

Why am I able to understand it?

Hyacine: I'm wondering about that myself! Dromas can understand what we say, but they can't speak — or so everyone thinks.

Hyacine: You must have some special connection with each other that allows this level of communication.

How do I look after it properly?

Hyacine: It's easy, I'll show you everything! And the workshop will cover all expenses and provide space.

Hyacine: So don't overthink it. Just visit occasionally, play with it, and you'll be fine!

What about its biological parents?

Hyacine: About that... I need to have a word with you, Grayie.

Hyacine: I heard from the keeper that its parents served in the dromas troupe. During a rescue, they ran into the black tide and... well, they've joined Thanatos now.

Hyacine: Better to wait until it's older before telling it about this.

I think I have enough information now.

Hyacine: So, what do you say, Grayie?

Alright, I'll raise this little one!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Raise me up!)

Hyacine: I knew I could count on you, Grayie! Thank you! I'll help out whenever I can!

I need to think about this...

Hyacine: Of course. Building a relationship with a living creature needs some thought...

Hyacine: Actually, when I first met Little Ica, I was completely unprepared. The Sage mentioned a "surprise," but I never expected an actual living, breathing pony!

Hyacine: That's how life works. Opportunities won't wait for us to get ready, and once we miss them, there are rarely second chances.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? ((Papa/Mama)?)

Alright, I'll raise this little one!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Raise me up!)

Hyacine: I knew you'd come around, Grayie!

Hyacine: Now, your first job as a new parent is helping this little one get stronger. It's far weaker than typical dromases...

Hyacine: As the story goes, Georios gave all dromases three gifts — indestructible Muscultition, perceptive Spiracuity, and uniting Charisplendor. These traits show how well a dromas is growing!

Muscul... what now?

Hyacine: "Muscle constitution," it's a term from Helkolithism. If that's confusing, just think "Strength."

So they can communicate with spirits?

Hyacine: Spiracuity is the measure of "how deeply their potential can be tapped." Despite their simple appearance, dromases have incredible untapped potential.

Charis... like charisma?

Hyacine: It goes deeper than that. Dromases can't speak, but they can get other beings to understand them. Some are even worshiped by people.

I see.

Hyacine: Well then, I'm leaving Excited Little Dromas in your hands, Grayie!

I'm raising this little one to become a Super Dromas!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Super Dromas!)

Stick with me, and you'll be living the good life!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... ((Papa/Mama), I'm supposed to eat soil, not sweet talk...)

Hyacine: Haha, health comes first. We'll check back in three weeks to see how it's improving.

Stay with (Excited Little Dromas) and help it recover!

Step Description

By a twist of fate, you've become the guardian of this tiny dromas. And word has it that it might have the potential to evolve into a legendary creature...? For now, raise it in your own way, help it recover, and watch it grow strong.

"Eternal Holy City" Okhema

Take (Excited Little Dromas) for a health checkup

(After 3 weeks of recovering)

Hyacine: Grayie! And (Excited Little Dromas)~ You're both here!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! Grumph~ (Big sis Hyacine! So glad to see you~)

The little one is saying hi to you.

Hyacine: I'm happy to see you too! Have you been enjoying your time with Grayie?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Yup! I've been eating and playing every day. What's not to love!)

The family tree feels a bit questionable...

Hyacine: Family tree? Oh, I get it, it's calling me "big sis", right?

Hyacine: So cute! Big sis is very happy to see you again!

Hyacine: Let's not waste any time. Shall we check in on how (Excited Little Dromas)'s coming along?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? Gru... (Is there going to be a test? If I fail... I won't become an orphan, will I?)

Don't worry. I've never passed a single test.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? Grumphhhh! (Whoa! Don't tell me I inherited the failing-grade genes? Oh wait, I'm not even your biological child. Phew, that's a relief. Haha —)

Don't worry. I've never taken a single test.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhhh? (I'm so jealous of you, (Papa/Mama)... If I walked on two legs, too, would I not have to take tests?)

Don't worry, you got this! And if you don't... well, you still got this!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhhh... (O-Okay... I'm feeling really overwhelmed here.)

Hyacine: Same as last time. Let's take a stroll through the city and help out the citizens along the way.

Hyacine: No need to stress. If you run into any trouble, just let Grayie handle it.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? (I'm counting on you now~ Grayie (Papa/Mama)~)

(After (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) passed the evaluation)

Hyacine: Wow, that was amazing! It's like a whole different dromas from last time! To recover so quickly... it really is something special!

Wow, you're way beyond a dromas.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Huh? Got it! That must mean you are a super dromas, right (Papa/Mama)?)

Actually, this is a new dromas.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! Grumph! (Hi, big sis! I'm the new one!)

Hyacine: Haha, looks like you and (Excited Little Dromas) are really getting along~

Hyacine: If it passes the next two checkups smoothly, it should be fully recovered. Let's wish it a healthy growth~

Some time later...

Stay with (Excited Little Dromas) and help it recover!

(After 2 weeks of recovering)

(While hanging out with (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) on the road, we ran into that professor...)

A new day begins. The Dawn Device shines with a soft, bright glow. You're wandering the streets with (Excited Little Dromas), pondering what to do next — Hmm?

Anaxa: ...Hmm?

Anaxa: Oh, it's you. I was just thinking...

Anaxa: You are... y-you...

I'm (Trailblazer).

Anaxa: No, I wasn't asking you.

This is (Excited Little Dromas).

It is what it is, and I am who I am.

Anaxa: ...There's no mistake. It's the dromas that hatched from that egg. My twentieth plan worked after all!

Anaxa: Hello there, little one! Don't be afraid. I'm just a scholar passing by. Would you like to have a chat with me?

Professor, you're scaring it.

So this is the dromas syndrome...

You can understand what it's saying?

Anaxa: ...Come on, little one. Try saying something.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? (Big brother, who are you?)

Sound from the Stone Tablet: Yo bro, who do you think you are?

Yeah, machine translation's still got a long way to go.

(Trying to hold back laughter)

Let's see how the human translator handles it, shall we?

Anaxa: Tsk... While there's still room for improvement, at least this translator is working.

Anaxa: I am a professor at the Grove of Epiphany and a colleague of Lady Hyacine. I hope this answers your question, little one.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? (Grove of Epiphany? What's that place?)

Sound from the Stone Tablet: Grope of Muffin? What's so big about that place?

Anaxa: ...

No wonder the Synesthesia Beacon triggered wars.

Professor, allow me to explain...

Anaxa: ...Alright. I'll let you do the translating from here.

Anaxa: As you probably already know, this dromas... wasn't born extraordinary, but it possesses limitless potential.

Anaxa: With proper care and nurturing, it can grow to heights that other dromases could never reach. That noble task... now rests with you.

Anaxa: If anything comes up, don't hesitate to ask me. Farewell, little one, and stay safe.

He has high hopes for you.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (Teachers with guns are always right.)

What's your take on him?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... Grumph? (Very gentle... but why does he keep talking to the air? Could he have an imaginary friend too?)

What a ridiculous translator.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (Just between us, (Papa/Mama), that wasn't exactly wrong...)

You wonder what expression Anaxa will have when (Excited Little Dromas) reaches its ultimate form.

Take (Excited Little Dromas) for a second health checkup

Stay with (Excited Little Dromas) and help it recover!

Take (Excited Little Dromas) through the final health check

(After 3 weeks of recovering)
(Talk to (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas), optional): (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhh~ (I feel myself filled with powerl. Bring it on!)

(Talk to Hyacine): Hyacine: Ready? Let's begin the test.; Come on then.; Hold on, I have other matters to attend to.

(After (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) passed the evaluation)

Hyacine: Grayie! I'm thrilled to announce — (Excited Little Dromas) has made a full recovery! All thanks to the hard work from both you and (Excited Little Dromas)!

Did you hear that! We're awesome!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (A bright future awaits us!)

Even the fans are showing up now.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? (Want an autograph? But my paws can't hold a pen though?)

"Beast King": That was incredible! Even I, the "Beast King," haven't felt this fired up in ages!

"Beast King": If I'm not mistaken, this must be that rumored dromas who popped out from the egg. I think the name was... (Excited Little Dromas). Which would make you its guardian, honored guest (Trailblazer), correct?

Don't dromas all hatch from eggs?

"Beast King": Hahaha, fair point! My bad choice of words. I mean, the dromas that struggled forever to get out of its egg.

To be precise, I'm its (Papa/Mama).

"Beast King": ...Ohhh, no wonder you two look like two peas in a pod!

Where are the Beast Emperor and Beast Monarch?

"Beast King": You actually figured out our organizational structure? Impressive! Though the highest trainer rank in the troupe only goes up to "Beast Emperor," with "Beast Master" and "Beast Wielder" below me... Ahem, I'm getting off track.

And you are...?

"Beast King": You two might have heard there's a dromas troupe stationed in the suburbs of the holy city, and I happen to be their liaison!

"Beast King": Dear guest, do you remember the dromas you rode with Lord Phainon and the others when you first visited Okhema? They are members of our troupe.

"Beast King": This young beast has a remarkable bone structure and strong potential. What do you say we let it join the troupe and become the next shining star of the holy city?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... Grumph? (Do I really have to become a star? Can't I just stay as a dromas?)

"Beast King": Strange... I can't understand what it's saying! This is incredible! In my twenty-plus years on the job, I've never encountered anything like this!

You can understand dromas language?

"Beast King": Of course. How else could I get along with so many dromas pals in the troupe? Though... this little one might just be a tough challenge in my beast-friend career.

"Beast King": Heh, now you've piqued my interest!

No worries. I can do the translation.

"Beast King": WHOOOA... You can actually talk to the dromas I can't?!

"Beast King": Two hits in one day? Oh, just peachy! Life should be full of surprises like this!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhhh. ((Papa/Mama), this person is so weird. Good thing he's not a dromas. What an embarrassment that'd be.)

"Beast King": Ahem... Anyway, I've got a good feeling about this one. Let's talk more about it in detail when the main forces return in a few weeks.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): ...

It feels sus.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (Haha, I'm actually quite interested.)

What do you think?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Actually... I'm quite interested!)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (Besides, this strange guy probably isn't a bad person. He just doesn't seem very... human.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (The further from humans, the closer to dromas!)

Anyway, let's not think about all that for now...

Let's celebrate passing the check first.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (I get it, (Papa/Mama). Now's the time to hype myself up a little!)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Just wait until I grow up a bit more. I'll rise to the very top of the beast world and become the dromas among dromases! Just you wait!)

Hyacine: Hehe, so adorable!

A child's growth is always a joy to behold. You close your eyes and begin to picture the bright future awaiting (Excited Little Dromas) —

Adventure Mission The Tiny Little Dromas 2

Years later, an incredibly successful dromas appears in the city of Okhema.

This dromas has countless followers in its wake, its table piled high with the finest redsoil, its face even minted on coins...

People say it has attained life's zenith, yet the dromas never stopped. Perhaps only the dromas itself knows where its final destination lies...

Go practice Oronyx's Prayer with (Excited Little Dromas)!

Step Description

You thought (Excited Little Dromas) would grow without a hitch and achieve its dreams, but unexpectedly, it developed a strange condition that made it shrink. Supposedly, this indicates it has potential related to Oronyx...? Anaxa proposed a solution that surprised everyone: Having (Excited Little Dromas) study Oronyx's Prayer to stabilize this trait. Well, time for a second round of magical nurturing!

"Eternal Holy City" Okhema

Even if it's just a lovely dream, you and (Excited Little Dromas) both believe that greatness awaits!

The Tiny Little Dromas, The End!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Absolutely! I'll be the greatest Super Dromas ever...)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? (Eh?)

Totally forgot. Never count your dromases before they're hatched.

Turns out dromases are basically balloons with legs...

Why did you shrink!?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph!?!? (Why did I shrink!?!?)

The Tiny Little Dromas, The End...?

Shortly after, Hyacine takes you to the Twilight Courtyard for a quick medical examination.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhhhhh, grumph— (This must be a bad dream... Probably ate something funky yesterday.)

What did you eat yesterday?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, grumph. (Steamed ceiling beam, made of solid redsoil.)

Can you become big again?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! Grumph—! (If only I could! Cuteness is great, but I want to grow up already—!)

Hyacine: Oh no, d—don't worry. Let's figure this out. Would medication work? Maybe herbs? Is this even a medical condition? How do we fix this...

Stay calm.

Well, that's new...

Hyacine: Wait here! I'll check the archives at the Library of Philia...

Anaxa: Don't waste your time, Hyacine. Everything in the Grove's records is misleading!

Dromas draped in finery! We're saved!

Were you just waiting for your chance in the spotlight...

Hyacine: Professor Anaxa, you were standing on the porch for so long. I thought...

Anaxa: Ahem! To get straight to the point, this phenomenon does indeed resemble an illness, caused by an imbalance in the divine power of Time within the body.

Anaxa: My teacher once told me about a gifted priest who had suffered from this condition before he embraced the path of Venerationism. Because of it, even in his fifties, he still had the appearance of a young man.

You'll never grow up now.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhhh. (It's just a dream. I wouldn't believe anything that happens anyway.)

Doctor, can it be cured?

I wish I had that problem.

Anaxa: Heh. To be afflicted by such a condition isn't a flaw. That means it has been favored by Oronyx. What it needs isn't a cure — but the strength to control this gift.

Anaxa: Once it masters the prayer of Oronyx, the issue will naturally resolve itself. Which brings us to your next assignment, (Trailblazer) — teach it the prayer. That's all I have to say.

...Just accept it already.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (As long as it can be cured...)

Me, teaching prayers? Seriously?

Anaxa: You're the only one we can trust to teach, right?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Yep!)

Hyacine: If even Professor Anaxa, who's never shown respect for the Titans, is recommending miracle therapy... Then it must really be the best option.

Hyacine: You can do it! If you need any help, just come find me at the Twilight Courtyard.

Let's see how (Excited Little Dromas) is coming along!

(After (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) passed the evaluation)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): ...

(Trailblazer): ...!

Hyacine: Please, (Excited Little Dromas). If honey cakes that fell on the ground can be fixed...

Silence, please. This is a critical moment.

Hyacine: Sorry, I got carried away... *whispers* Please, (Excited Little Dromas).

I get half of that cake, right?

Hyacine: So that's what you're after... Sure, we got a deal.

Hyacine is willing to do anything!

Hyacine: I-I never said that!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (All done...)

Hyacine: Amazing... If I covered my eyes, I definitely wouldn't be able to tell which one of you used the prayer.

Even I'm not that skilled.

Well done, (Excited Little Dromas).

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, Grumphhhh! (Hehe, my success is (Papa/Mama)'s success! And vice versa!)

Anaxa: Hehe, hehehe... Hahahahaha —

Anaxa: I knew it! I've always said the potential of dromas is limitless! Those stubborn Venerationist scholars will have to eat their words now!

Does Venerationism have anything to do with dromas?

Anaxa: No. They just collectively criticized my paper On the Feasibility of Replacing Negligent Priests with Dromas.

As expected of the "dromas draped in finery."

Anaxa: Heh, I'll take that as a compliment.

Anaxa: Anyway, at this rate, it'll master the power of Oronyx in no time. I can't even imagine how far it might go from there.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): ...

Keep going, (Excited Little Dromas)!

Thinking hard over there?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, grumph... (Ugh, my Oronyx power... is surging...)

Hyacine: Nomnom... Huh? Why did my honey cake turn into flour and water?! Waaah —

Wait, stop rewinding —

Huh? The rebellious phase already?

Anaxa: Incredible. This one's going places...

Go practice Oronyx's Prayer with (Excited Little Dromas)!

(After 2 weeks of recovering)
(I heard (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) has been acting a bit strange lately. What's going on?): (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) keeps making mistakes lately. Several neighbors have complained — it sold actual baby seals as stuffed toys while managing the shop. Hard to tell if it was an honest mistake or intentional.; Parents must answer for their children's mistakes. Though right now the poor thing looks worn out. Sore limbs, zero energy... It looks completely exhausted...; And as the parent, I should step in and help.; How about we go out and have some fun?; I'm way overdue for a bath. Care to help scrub my back?; (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? (Excuse me?)

Marmoreal Palace is Amphoreus's melting pot. All manner of people come here, hoping that the waters will wash away their worries, just as meat is stripped of its scent by boiling soup.

As a wise person may or may not have said: "I never said this, but feel free to imagine I said whatever makes you happy."

Too bad you can't tell if (Excited Little Dromas) is happy right now.

Got something on your mind?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (Yeah... some-thing...)

Bet I can outlast you in the hot bath!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (Nuh-uh, (Papa/Mama). Unlike me, you could actually get cooked.)

Has anyone been picking on you?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph~ (Not at all! I'm usually the one doing the picking!)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (...)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... ((Papa/Mama), can I ask you something? Do you ever fear failure?)

Never have, never will.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... ((Papa/Mama) is so amazing...)

Absolutely.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (So even (Papa/Mama) feels that way...)

Failures are normal. I got used to it.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (Aww... there there, (Papa/Mama)...)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Ugh... (I feel like I figured something out, but maybe not...)

Why are you asking that question?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): ...Grumph~ (...Just thinking about my award acceptance speech. Don't mind me, (Papa/Mama)~)

Bit of an abrupt topic shift there. Looks like it'll take more time to unravel the mystery of (Excited Little Dromas).

Let's see how (Excited Little Dromas) is coming along!

Go practice Oronyx's Prayer with (Excited Little Dromas)!

(After 3 weeks of recovering)

Anaxa: Punctual as agreed. Acceptable. Now then, let me see what you're capable of, little one. A dromas that has mastered Oronyx's Prayer... This is undoubtedly an achievement worthy of the history books.

"Beast King": Wait, please make sure to leave us a seat in the audience.

Anaxa: ...What brings you here, Beast King?

"Beast King": Uh... you know, wherever there is dromas, I'll be there. We're both guilty of that one.

"Beast King": I'm here to scout new blood for the troupe, and also to let this kid meet some proper role models —

Handsome Dromas: Grumph~

"Beast King": This dromas, named "Behemoth," has received the blessing of Georios and can share its senses with other dromases. Through its eyes, the entire troupe can witness (Excited Little Dromas)'s performance.

And now we're live-streaming.

"Beast King": Seems like someone's been living on the slatephone too much. Not gonna lie, some of our dromases' meals actually come from livestream donations.

"Beast King": After this livestream, (Excited Little Dromas)'s army of fans could probably take over the Dromas Workshop.

Georios's Blessings can do that, too?

"Beast King": Oh? Worried the dromas might see some little secrets? Don't worry, they won't tell anyone — and even if they did, nobody would understand them anyway.

Can Georios send blessings even when they are gone?

"Beast King": After all, dromases are Georios's most unique creation. So it's only natural these creatures receive the most love. I heard that the demigod of Earth is actually a dromas!

Anaxa: Alright, enough chatter. Those destined for greatness should not fear scrutiny. (Excited Little Dromas), let's begin.

Talk to Anaxa to complete the final assessment

(Talk to (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas), optional): (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphh... (I can do this. I can do this...)

(Talk to "Beast King", optional): "Beast King": Just how far can this young dromas go? Strangely enough, even I'm getting so excited about this...

(Talk to Hyacine, optional): Hyacine: Before I knew it, (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) has grown so much.

(Talk to Anaxa): Anaxa: An exam of this level is no problem for (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas). Let's get started.; Here I come!; Just a minute.

(After (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) passed the evaluation): "Beast King": Brilliant! Such a technique even outclasses the Oronyx priests I know! Utterly breathtaking!; "Beast King": Without further ado, (Trailblazer) "Friend of Dromas," I formally extend an invitation on behalf of the troupe.; Anaxa: Hmph. With (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas)'s abilities, forget just joining the troupe. It could outright lead it...; As their conversation grew more animated, you drifted into pleasant daydreams about the future, just like before—

Adventure Mission The Tiny Little Dromas 3

Many years later, humanity finally recalled the terror of being dominated by dromases.

Having achieved perfect transcendence, (Excited Little Dromas) opened its mouth slightly, releasing an invincible power of time. Those caught in the beam were stunned to find themselves young again!

Since then, cults devoted to dromases quietly sprang up across every corner of Okhema city. As for why such a creature wielded power so great, scholars still argue to this day...

This time, the scenario you imagined was even cooler, even bolder. You couldn't wait for that day to come.

Handsome Dromas: Grumph, grumph...

"Beast King": Perfect timing. We've got a mission. Little one, want to come along? With your support on this rescue, things would definitely go a lot smoother.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (I...)

That's my kid!

It seems a bit troubled...

What's wrong, kid?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, grumph... (My... power of Oronyx... is getting out of control...)

It shot out at lightning speed, smashing a Flying Amphora along the way and gaining a super speed boost.

"Beast King": Why did it... suddenly grow so huge?

There were signs earlier.

Oh, so it's not the rebellious phase after all...

I'll go find it.

Anaxa: Do you need any help?

No worries. I have a pretty good idea where it's headed.

This is a parent's mission.

Anaxa: Hmm, indeed. I'll leave it to you.

Go find (Excited Little Dromas) and see what's going on.

Step Description

Although (Excited Little Dromas) has completed the assessment, Oronyx's Prayer lost control at the final moment. It became confused and ran off somewhere. As its guardian, you are the only one who can help untangle its emotional knots. Find it and have a word with it.

"Eternal Holy City" Okhema

(Interact with (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas)'s Nest, optional): It's not here. Maybe it's somewhere you made memories together before. Try checking the bath.

(Approach (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas))

In a corner of the baths, a once-again-miniaturized (Excited Little Dromas) was quietly soaking in the pool. The nearby attendants stole glances, but wisely kept their thoughts to themselves.

It stares at you. You stare at it. An Express named Silence races through between two wide-eyed individuals locked in a staring contest. As a Trailblazer, you choose to speak first.

Are you okay?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (Not great earlier. Better now.)

A kid who keeps shrinking probably doesn't have much of a future.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (Stop scolding me. I'll shrink even smaller if you keep going...)

A dromas that soaks too long will turn into a mud beast.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (No way.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): ...

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): ...Grumph. (...I might not be ready yet.)

But you're the best dromas ever.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (Am I... really?)

No human is perfect.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (Nah, I'm not even human to begin with...)

(Remain silent)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): *sniff*... (What... I feared most still happened — I messed up.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): *sniff* (As you can see, (Papa/Mama), I haven't really mastered Oronyx's Prayer.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): *sniff* (Everyone sees me as someone special. I want to meet their expectations, but deep down, I've always been afraid.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): *sniff* (Will they all be disappointed in me? Maybe I'm not worthy of being called the Super Dromas?)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): *sniff* (Maybe (Papa/Mama) will leave me too...)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): ...

Child—

"Listen."

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Huh...?

Guide gently.

(Trailblazer): What are you thinking? The prayer went out of control, probably just because you're too skinny. Next time, try developing a more balanced build.

(Trailblazer): Besides, if you want to become someone strong, you'll have to fail hundreds or even thousands of times... Chin up. I'm still counting on you to look after me when I'm old.

(Trailblazer): As for being separated? That's nothing to worry about. I'm (Excited Little Dromas)'s guardian. Watching you grow is my mission.

(Trailblazer): As long as you keep moving forward, the path will keep stretching ahead. So don't stop growing—

Drop some "big truths"

(Trailblazer): Relax. No matter how special you are, nobody gets to demand perfection from anyone. After all, not even the divine Titans could manage that.

(Trailblazer): Take me, for example. My place literally got blown up once when a certain god pulled a prank.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? (Huh? What?)

(Trailblazer): Anyway, don't let one or two failures get to you. You're my kid, so go ahead and live however you like!

Start to talk nonsense!

(Trailblazer): Even before you were born, I was confident my kid would stir up troubles, so I set aside 20 million Balance Coins for compensation purposes.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? (Huh?)

(Trailblazer): But not a single coin has been used. Clearly, something's off with my parenting style.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? (Huh? What?)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): ...Grumph. (Hmm... yeah.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. Grumph... (Thank you, (Papa/Mama). I think... I'm okay now, hmm.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Growl, grumph, grumph. (Whoa, seeing my cool (Papa/Mama) talk about something serious is kind of weird.)

Glad you're feeling better. Want some food?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Right! But before that...)

(Excited Little Dromas), you rascal—

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Wah, I'm sorry, please don't eat me — hahaha...)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (Hmm... I should head back and let everyone know I'm safe.)

Let's go, I'll come with you.

Hyacine: Grayie, you're back! I heard what happened... (Excited Little Dromas) shrunk again? How did that even...

It just has an upset stomach.

No problem, it's already been solved.

Hyacine: Hmm... alright, I get it. Anyway, the troupe liaison left a letter for you.

(Quick Read)

Farewell Note from the Troupe

Dear (Mr./Miss) (Trailblazer),

Apologies. Farewell. Emergency call. Support needed. Troupe mobilizing.
Sorry. We couldn't properly welcome (Excited Little Dromas). Was our enthusiasm too much? Our sincerest apologies.
Best wishes to (Excited Little Dromas) and (Excited Little Dromas)'s parent.
On your next journey, stop by. We insist.

With regards, Troupe Leader "Behemoth," scribed by "Beast King"

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Huh? (What does it say up there?)

Next time, I promise.

The troupe has already left.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): ...

There's still a chance.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

It's fine. If they didn't hire you, that's their loss.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, grumph. (No, what I meant was— Ugh, so annoying! Can't we skip the test next time?)

"Beast King": Ah! You two are back! I'm so sorry, but I just got an urgent mission and Beast Emperor already left with "Behemoth" and the others. By the way... did something happen?

We were just out saving the world.

It just went to take a bath.

"Beast King": I see. You must have had things to do. We were worried we might have said something wrong...

"Beast King": Anyway, I came here to tell you both that even though the main team has left, we'd still like to invite (Excited Little Dromas) to join us.

"Beast King": (Excited Little Dromas), would you like to start out with the city-based "Garrison Regiment"? Though you're a bit green, it'll definitely help you get familiar with the troupe's work quickly.

"Beast King": Once you complete the mission and pass a few evaluations, you'll get to join the main team. It's like an internship, what do you think?

Hey kid, interested?

Is there also a Survey Corps?

"Beast King": Sounds like someone did their homework. Back when Terravox, the ancestor of the dromases, was still around, its followers formed the Military Police Brigade, one of the three legendary beast groups.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Mm hmm! Let's go! Sounds way easier to get by.)

"Beast King": Haha, even though I still can't understand what it's saying, I got that part at least. Welcome aboard! The first assessment mission for the Regiment is in three weeks. Just come find us when it's time.

"Beast King": Of course, you're also welcome to check out the vibe beforehand. See you then, (Trailblazer). You can leave (Excited Little Dromas) in our good hands.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): *gurgle*... (*stomach growling*)

Baby's tummy is making thunder noises...

Wanna grab some food?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Yeah! I could eat a whole mountain!)

Help (Excited Little Dromas) prepare for the internship

Step Description

Although missing the chance to join the troupe by accident, (Excited Little Dromas) still accepted the internship offer on the supervisor's recommendation. The good news is, thanks to your care and attention, it's no longer feeling lost. Now, it's time to witness (Excited Little Dromas)'s remarkable growth!

"Eternal Holy City" Okhema

(After 3 weeks of recovering)

On the day of the troupe internship, you gave your little pack beast endless reminders, worried it might get bullied in a new environment.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): "Grumph~ (Don't worry, (Papa/Mama). You know me. I'm the one who does the bullying.)"

...Well then, but you can't help worrying. What if it runs into some crazed Titankin? What if it eats something dirty out in the wild and gets sick?

Maybe I should go with you to take a look.

It'll be fine. Just trust the kid.

That's right, it's your kid after all. They'll breeze through this problem and shine in front of everyone.

No need to worry! But... if it wanted to make you proud and you weren't there to see it, wouldn't that be a little sad...?

Maybe I should go with you to take a look.

That was what went through your mind a few minutes ago. But reminiscences don't matter now. You're already here.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. ((Papa/Mama), you really are everywhere.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, Grumphhh~ (Thank you for visiting me! I feel more confident now.)

...What a wonderful child. Your eyes start to well up.

"Beast King": Hero, we need to head off now. If we don't pick up the pace, we'll be eating the dromases' exhaust fumes.

It's the moment to witness your child grow on your first trip as their guardian!

Help (Excited Little Dromas) complete the internship assessment

(After (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) passed the evaluation): (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph— (Hehe, not bad at all, didn't embarrass myself in front of (Papa/Mama) — What a shame.); Dromas: Grumph~~~; I don't understand you, big guy.; What's it saying?; (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhhh~~~ (It says... we look exactly alike.); Dromas: Grumph~~~; (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, Grumphhh~~~ (It also says that boss's (Papa/Mama) is its (Papa/Mama), and asked me to say hi to you.); (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (That's so weird, (Papa/Mama). Now you've got another kid.); You're the boss?; Its eyesight must be pretty bad.; (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, grumphhh! (It used to look down on me, but now that I've mastered the divine power of time, it calls me boss. I don't just have one little follower!); Looks like there's no need to worry about your child out there. Give it a bit more time, and it might just stir up a savage storm... no, I mean, accomplish something amazing! ...Hm? What is it sneaking around for now?; (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Woo?! Grumphhh— (It's nothing! Let's go home! I want to practice my prayers a bit more. You'll stay with me, right, (Papa/Mama)?)

Help (Excited Little Dromas) prepare for the internship

(After 2 weeks of recovering)

(Lately, (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) has been working really hard... too hard, to be precise.)

Lately, (Excited Little Dromas) has been putting in serious effort. It is either repeating its prayers nonstop or completely absorbed in reading. Sometimes it even vanishes without a trace—

As a parent, watching your child work so hard fills your heart with a complicated mix of emotions.

It's time for a little "heart-to-heart" with your kid. Of course, since it's about its mental well-being, you decide to take it seriously and choose your words carefully—

Start seriously.

(Trailblazer): Hey kiddo, let's talk about life.

Start casually.

(Trailblazer): My child! This is my one and only request in life—

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Huh? (What's wrong, (Papa/Mama)? Oh, did (Papa/Mama) get into trouble again? Alright, alright, I'll go apologize on (Papa/Mama)'s behalf.)

Cut to the chase.

(Trailblazer): You've been studying non-stop lately. You'll wear yourself out. How about playing some video games... I mean, want to go take a bath?

Drop a hint.

(Trailblazer): When I was your age, I didn't even know what Oronyx's Prayer was. I was too busy rummaging through trash bins.

(Trailblazer): You've already gone way beyond what your (Papa/Mama) ever managed. I'm just a little worried you might push yourself too hard...

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Boohoooo. Grumph—? (Just let me study for five more minutes, just five minutes! Once my next internship is over, I'll definitely take you out for fun, (Papa/Mama), okay?)

Convincing it didn't work. This kid's on another level... Guess you'll have to wait until after the exam.

Help (Excited Little Dromas) complete its second internship assessment

(After (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) passed the evaluation)

The internship wrapped up smoothly. Looking at it, you see its face beaming with a mix of exhilaration and fatigue.

Since that's all done...

...Shall we head to the bath as planned?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (Great—)

The baths, Action Hour.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph~ (Grumph~)

Guest: ...What's taking you guys so long to come down?

Baths Attendant: Isn't this pool getting a bit... overcrowded?

Sorry, my fans tend to get a little too enthusiastic.

Baths Attendant: No, no, no, I'm not blaming you. Honestly, I'd love to know what it's like to bathe with a dromas too. Too bad I'm still on shift.

The more, the merrier.

Baths Attendant: No doubt about it. Everyone here was drawn in by (Excited Little Dromas).

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph~ (Iron pot dromas stew with everyone else as side dishes.)

Baths Attendant: Ladies and gentlemen, we've had our fun and paid our respects. Let's give our heroes some private time with their family.

Guest: Alright, alright, let's take a bath together next time, okay, (Excited Little Dromas)?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Mmph... (No, stop it, that's creepy...)

Finally, the scorching bath is all yours, just like the time some two individuals managed to cause the "Baths Incident."

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph— ((Papa/Mama), I think I know exactly what you're thinking right now—)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. (Give up, humans can't beat dromases.)

But I'm gonna try anyway.

Don't underestimate the power of my bonds!

Glory to humanity forever!

A brilliant idea pops into your head. It would absolutely let you win in the next bath battle. Too bad there's not enough space here to write it down.

A smile starts to form at the corner of your mouth. Exactly 2.19 seconds later, your foot bumps into something by the edge of the pool — a white, oval-shaped solid.

Oops, I slipped!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! ((Papa/Mama)!)

Humanity is the sum of all social relations. An unexamined life is not worth living. No two leaves are exactly alike. The chicken came before the egg. Two iron balls fall at the same time...

Alright, what just happened?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, grumph? ((Papa/Mama), are you okay?)

You remember slipping on a bar of soap and falling into the bath. Yet here you are, sitting perfectly fine on the edge. What exactly happened?

"Beast King": A dromas that can use Oronyx's Prayer to rewind soap and rescue (Trailblazer) who slipped on it? It must be approaching the level of a demi-priest already.

"Beast Emperor": Hmm, I must say, I'm impressed.

"Beast King": Hehehe, I told you already, big bro. This kid's talent is terrifying. We need them on our side...

"Beast Emperor": You sound like a villain from a novel.

"Beast King": Ugh... maybe I've been around that purple Spirithief too long. I'm starting to talk like them?

"Beast Emperor": Let's get ready for the final test and see just how far this little one can go.

"Beast Emperor": I hope it can show us what a dromas is truly capable of...

Help (Excited Little Dromas) prepare for the internship

(After 3 weeks of recovering)

"Beast King": Welcome to the final assessment for your internship promotion! Let me introduce you to the troupe's leader, "Beast Emperor." He'll be serving as your chief examiner today.

Anaxa?

You've got hidden powers too?

Holy! The return of the emperor!

Ana... "Beast Emperor": Ahem... It's a long story. Anyway, just for today, please call me "Beast Emperor."

"Beast King": We've prepared a special welcome feast for (Excited Little Dromas). Just look at the appetizing color of these dirt clumps. Go ahead and dig in, little one.

That's stones, not soil.

"Beast King": What's wrong with eating stones? You are what you eat. It's gonna carry heavy stones later, so it needs something solid to fuel up.

So, what's the test?

"Beast Emperor": As everyone knows, Georios gave all dromases three gifts — indestructible Muscultition, perceptive Spiracuity, and uniting Charisplendor.

"Beast Emperor": These are the ideals that every dromas strives for. Among them, the most vital is Muscultition.

"Beast Emperor": See that chunk of condensed lava over there? Moving it is the key to passing this test.

"Beast Emperor": Its surface reaches nearly a thousand exa in temperature. If that doesn't mean anything to you, just think of it as one percent of the Dawn Device.

Wait, this is dangerous?

Let's skip the test and go home.

The Dawn Device sucks.

"Beast King": Shouldn't we be more worried about how hot this lava actually is? If you're scared, it's not too late to head back home.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph~ (No worries, I got this~)

"Beast Emperor": Good luck, (Excited Little Dromas). See you at the troupe.

Talk to the "Beast Emperor" and witness the fruits of (Excited Little Dromas)'s efforts

(Talk to (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas), optional): (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, Grumph? Grumph. ((Papa/Mama), am I nervous? No? Whatever, let's just get this exam over with and go home to eat some soil.)

(Talk to "Beast King", optional): "Beast King": I can't believe I got to witness the birth of the great little dromas with my own eyes... Praise be to Georios, praise be to Earth!

(Talk to "Beast Emperor"): "Beast Emperor": (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) still is waiting. So don't waste more time, let's start the test.; Let's do this!; I need a minute...

(After (Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas) passed the evaluation)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (Wow, so many dromases.)

Nervous?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (No way! It's a celebration ceremony, after all.)

Stand tall and proud. This is an honor.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph... (I'm a dromas. I can't exactly puff out my chest.)

"Beast King": Haha, no need to worry, my friend. Look at the dromases around us. They're thrilled to have fresh blood joining their ranks after so long. Look—

Dromas Group: Grumph—!

"Beast King": ...What do you mean "welcome back, boss"?

Well, that's way beyond what I expected.

Don't bully me, (Excited Little Dromas).

You're seriously the Dromas King?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhhh. (No no, we're all friends here. Just friends.)

"Beast King": ..."Behemoth," why are you crying?

Handsome Dromas: Grumph, grumphhh... grumphhhh!

"Beast King": Oh, turns out you were just moved to tears. Let's not dwell on that. (Trailblazer), would you kick off this ceremony?

Let's be serious for a moment.

(Trailblazer): Since coming to Okhema, I've formed many precious bonds. But meeting (Excited Little Dromas) has been my most treasured gift of all.

(Trailblazer): Have a safe journey, (Excited Little Dromas), and remember, if anything happens, come home to (Papa/Mama)!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, Grumphhh! (Hehe, (Papa/Mama) is also my most treasured gift! The kind I want to lock up in a cabinet!)

Let's liven things up a bit.

(Trailblazer): Matter of fact, this world has already been destroyed once. It was my child who stepped up, fought back against the evil black tide, and then rewound the entire world with a prayer! Unfortunately, no one remembers any of this anymore.

(Trailblazer): Now, the kid wants to experience what life is like as an ordinary dromas, so let's just hope the troupe won't be all too disappointing.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, Grumphhh! (I gave this version of my birth some serious thought, and nope, still can't accept it!)

Time to hype it up.

(Trailblazer): When I first met (Excited Little Dromas), I knew this kid, even still an egg at the time, had extraordinary charisma and was destined for greatness. Now it seems that I was absolutely right.

(Trailblazer): Think about it: Even if Georios came back to life, could they guarantee they'd master Oronyx's Prayer? Well, my kid did just that!

(Trailblazer): (Excited Little Dromas), cool. Georios, not cool.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhh, Grumph... (Um, (Papa/Mama), I kinda wanna crawl into a hole and hide from everyone...)

"Beast King": Phew, that was so well said! I'm getting all emotional, waaaaaah—

"Beast King": —L-lastly, let's welcome our star of the day, (Excited Little Dromas), to come up and say a few words!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, Grumphhh! (Actually, I'm pretty confident about my Oronyx's Prayer!)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph— (A dromas asked me how I knew about this. I could only say that my (Papa/Mama) taught me at Okhema.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhh, Grumph-Grumphhh— (So, there's only one thing I want to say: Thank you, (Papa/Mama). Here, please take this!)

What's this...?

A clump of dirt?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph— (Here, try this, (Papa/Mama). It's a gift I made myself.)

How could I refuse to eat this!?

Without a second thought, you pop the chunk into your mouth, and under (Excited Little Dromas)'s adorable puppy-eyed gaze, try to appreciate the sincerity in its bitterness.

Kid, I appreciate your kindness...

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? ((Papa/Mama), wanna try some?)

But humans can't eat dirt.

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? Grumphhh— (This isn't just any ordinary dirt. Might as well take it as a scam and have a bite yourself—)

Well, since you insist...

You gently place the dirt in your mouth, taking a small bite and trying to taste the sincerity in its bitterness.

So that's what you were sneakily up to...

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph— (Hehe, busted.)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumphhh. (Come on, have a try!)

Eat it up!

Without a second thought, you pop the chunk into your mouth, and under (Excited Little Dromas)'s gaze, try to appreciate the sincerity in its bitterness.

Is it really edible?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? Grumphhh— (This isn't just any ordinary dirt. Might as well take it as a scam and have a bite yourself—)

Well, since you insist...

You gently place the "dirt" in your mouth, taking a small bite and trying to taste the sincerity in its bitterness.

You felt it! That was so sweet. Ugh, maybe a bit too sweet.

It's chocolate!

Yummy!

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph. Grumphhh—(I call it "sweet dirt," hehe. Now (Papa/Mama) can be considered a dromas too!)

We're the same now~

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph~ Grumphhh! (Exactly! This means (Papa/Mama) is my real (Papa/Mama) now!)

D-Does this make any sense?

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph, Grumphhh! (Don't sweat the details. Anyway, (Papa/Mama) is my real (Papa/Mama) from now on!)

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): I'll keep growing stronger until I become a great hero like (Papa/Mama)!

Adventure Mission The Tiny Little Dromas 1

Years later, a dromas taller than a mountain appeared in Okhema. Its shadow loomed over the Dawn Device, and its footsteps made the entire holy city tremble.

The surging power of Earth coursed through its body. After it passed through the farmlands outside Okhema, the crop yield there reached 24,100 pounds per acre for the next three thousand Light Calendar years...

Finally, the citizens of the holy city made their decision: Let this dromas take the place of Kephale and prop up the sphere.

And thus, future generations came to call it Super Dromas...

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph? ((Papa/Mama), are you still spacing out? I'm all packed up!)

Right! Take care of yourself!

Oops, got distracted. Have a safe journey—

(Excited Little DromasExcited Little Dromas): Grumph! (All set, I'm off, (Papa/Mama)!)

Looks like you don't have to worry about this kid's growth anymore.

Still, you hope it won't cause any trouble.
