Aren't you the one that brought that strange ring the other day? How have you been? I'm glad you came. Anyway, I have a distinct favor to ask you ... something I've been wishing to take care of for a long, long time. What do you think? It may not be easy, but do you want to help me nonetheless?

Thank you so much! I can finally fulfill my long-time wish with this ... See, I have a lovely son, who I adore more than anyone else in the world. His name is Nick. He wasn't exceptional in one thing, but was a great kid who was a hard worker.

Then one day, a group of monsters from the mines attacked our town. They took my wife Ria away from me forever ... and, ever since her passing, Nick had turned into a totally different person.

He made up his mind to strengthen himself so he can take care of the monsters from the mines. I tried my best to stop him, to no avail. He left 3 years ago to defeat the monsters, and I haven't heard one word from him since. It's obvious what happened to him ...

I don't cling on to hope that he's alive. What I do hope is to find a ring that he's wearing. There should be a lava cave at the inner part of the mines at the valley of El Nath. You may be able to find his ring somewhere in there.

Please find his ring for me. Also, as my son had always wished, please take down Cerebes's and collect 100 Cerebes Teeth for him. I have faith in you.

I understand. You must be worn out from all that traveling ... but if you want to change your mind, then please come talk to me. I can't think of anyone else but you that can do this.
