"Lots of things have occured while you were away, partner. I don't even know where to start with you. Short of it is, that Guts fella made a mess out of the mountain fighting that giant spider, Wasn't there for the longest time since I had to answer a few questions to the knights while you were down on that hole, but after they let me go, all I saw was him, a giant spider resting on top of him, and my house in total shambles."
"Jodi was a mess after all that happened to her, she even threatened to jump off the damn edge, nearly tore my poor heart to shreds seeing her like that, but the swordsman did the unexpected."
"No matter how much life has wronged you. You still have a family to go back to, you can start over and protect them someday. Don't be the one to destroy your opportunities... I've lived enough to regret this mistake."
"And then he showed her this nest of eggs from the harpies that were about to hatch. All the other adult harpies were dead by the time he was done, and would you believe it? When Jodi approached the critters, they all flocked to her, thinking she was their mama. I wanted a human daughter if possible, but they're cute enough to work as substitutes for now."
Guts was the one to come to that realisation... Perhaps he also had a child of his own?
"I wanted to thank him for giving us some hope, but then he just up and left. Said something about wanting to focus on righting his wrongs like you do."
"Is Jodi ok? If she's responsible for the harpy critters obeying you, I need to thank her."
"What, and let my girl go straight into danger like you? Not happenin'. She's at the village behind the mountain we lived in. Place has nothing but corpses for some reason, but it's safe enough for her to stay there."
"If healing Jodi made you shake you faith, than you don't want to see Mozgus at work."
"Do you see me shaking, partner? I'm still a firm believer of our savior, I just disagree in offing your head's all." Amazingly, Hyde still manages to be a religious man after seeing magic, guess one thing doesn't negate the other in his mind. "Jodi, on the other hand, she's been saying a lot of stuff even I can't understand. It's why I wanted you to come with me."
"What happened?"
"Accordin' to her, she believes the spiders were sucking up some magic energy from a bright spot she keeps seeing, but every time I go there, I don't ever see a thing. Shit makes no sense, so I was hoping you could tell me if she's talking out of her ass or not. Will take a few days to get back though, the girls just learned how to fly, so we best not abuse them."
