[For a big, scary dragon, Myrrh can be quite a scaredy cat. As soon as people started turning into monsters, she fled deeper into Fayren Woods to wait it out.

But now, she appears on screen, not looking all that great. Manakete don't settle well alone.]

A-are the monsters gone yet? What happened to Fayren...?

[Hello, Myrrh, here's a scary-looking dragon who isn't going to change back to normal...because he already is normal.]

There weren't any real monsters. Just people here turning into different creatures for a short while, but things seem to be returning to normal.

[She ain't afraid of no dragon!]

So everyone is OK? No one got hurt?

[So shy, yet so caring.]

No injuries, as far as I'm aware. I believe the biggest problem was trying to adapt to their changed dietary needs throughout the incident.

That's good. I'm glad the humans are OK.

[But moving on.]

...Does this sort of thing happen often in this world?

Different strange things happen on a regular basis...but the thing with people turning into creatures seems to happen at this time every year. This is the third consecutive year this happened.

It's okay, Myrrh. No more monsters. Nothing to be afraid of.

Roland! I'm glad you're okay.

[She tried to hide the happy, but failed.]

Where were you?

Hmm? I didn't go anywhere special, if that's what you're asking.

Did you want me to come and visit?

Yes. But they were not monsters... Not really.

Are you all right, Myrrh?

I'm fine... I was more worried about you and everyone else...

[She knew she made the right choice not to act and fight monsters. She sensed something off about it.]

[She certainly did. Fighting Myrrh is the last thing Mavis would have wanted to have to do.]

Don't worry. This event was mostly harmless, I think. And kind of fun.

Fun...?
It's fun to be a monster?

[Given Myrrh's experiences with the Demon King's monsters, this does not compute.]

Well... [Mavis bites her lip, now that she can do that again without piercing it.] One may look like a monster and not feel like a monster. If you see what I mean.

The event affected people appearances and abilities, not their hearts or minds.

I see... So they were just like me...

[Having the appearance of a monster and a human, having the power of monsters and the heart of humans.]

I'm glad no one was hurt.

Yes. [Mavis smiles softly at her. And she understands better how it feels now.]

Me too.

[A long pause before Myrrh decides to do something brave.]

Can I tell you a secret?

It was scary hiding alone in the woods. I wasn't able to sleep most days...

[A combination of being alone, afraid of being transformed and worried who everyone was doing.]

[Mavis nods, happy Myrrh feels like she can confide in her.]

I wish I could have found you, Myrrh. Why didn't you come to Fairy Haven? Some of us were transformed but not everyone. [At least she would have felt less lonely.]

Are you feeling better now?

I'm sorry... I was afraid I could hurt someone if I stayed too close. I don't know how this would have affected me.

But... I can come to Fairy Haven. Soon, at least.

I understand. But in case it would have affected you badly, it'd have been best not to be on your own. Even if you don't want to hurt others, you have to give them the opportunity to help, too.

I'd like that.

Okay... I'll tend to the memorial I built here first. Then I'll come visit you.

[A modest memorial dedicated to the animals killed by that necromancy a few weeks ago. Something probably noticed by others by now.]

Sure. Take all the time you need.

What is your memorial dedicated to?

I built it for the animals killed by that necromancy a few weeks ago.

[The grassy area where Soma killed the risen birds should be trying to recover by now.]

That's very sweet of you, Myrrh.
