"Oh, great! With a top player like you, we might actually have a shot at this quest. I'm FreshwindElara. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Stonehaven."
FreshwindElara let out a soft laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Stonehaven. It's quite a mouthful. Why not just 'Stone'? It's a lot less formal."
"..." Marcus was at a loss for words.
"I just got a quest from some 'Stone Elder,' and now I run into you, Stonehaven. It's a regular stone convention around here."
"A Stone Elder? What's that?"
"Come on, I'll show you."
Marcus followed FreshwindElara, cutting down the red-maned lions they encountered with ease. The beasts were little more than experience fodder.
"This is him. The Stone Elder."
FreshwindElara pointed toward a moss-covered statue of an old man nestled between the roots of a massive tree.
"A quest from a statue?" Marcus asked, skepticism dripping from his words.
"Hey there," Marcus tried, addressing the stone figure. As expected, it offered no reply.
