Story[]
The resting hut with a horse
Chapter 1: The Serdian War[]
Escape from Hellena[]
Dart, Lavitz and Shana escape from Hellena Prison and make their way to the Prairie. As they are being pursued, Lavitz is nicked in the leg by an arrow. Realizing that the guards will soon catch up to them, they decide to continue deeper into the Prairie. The trio make a quick decision to hide behind a large tree surrounded by tall grass; however, the guards hear rustling and call out to them only to be fooled by a small creature. The guards argue and continue down the pathway and out of sight. No longer being pursued, they make their way to a nearby shack where Shana treats Lavitz's injury. She asks Dart about the past five years he's been away. Dart explains that he's been pursuing a creature called the Black Monster and his motives of revenge for the destruction of the town he was born in, the genocide of its population and the murder of his parents. He reveals that he's not originally from Seles and that he was born in Neet, a village farther north. Lavitz mentions that he's never heard of the Black Monster, but he believes Minister Noish in Bale might. They discuss the current situation in Serdio and that the truce between the warring Kingdoms had been broken by Imperial Sandora due to the apparent acquisition of a Dragon, who are supposedly extinct, allowing Sandora to be more aggressive. Dart tells them that he was attacked by this Dragon and would have died were it not for a passing warrior. Lavitz now knows that the Dragon is a very real threat and that King Albert needs to know this information as quickly as possible. They then make their way to Indels Castle in the town of Bale situated in the Kingdom of Basil.
Leaving the prairie[]
In order to leave the Prairie, several events need to take place. First, Dart must attempt to cross the rapids. He will note that it seems too far to jump over. Next, after the scene in the shack, interact with the half chopped tree on the edge of the cliff past the hut. Dart suggests that they may be able to carry it to the rapids and use it as a bridge. Return to the hut and interact with the axe to obtain the Goods item Axe From the Shack. Go back to the tree and Dart will chop it down. After the scene, return to the rapids and the tree will make its way towards you and form a bridge, enabling you to exit the Prairie.
Refugees of Kazas[]
After crossing the rapids, you'll encounter a family of refugees standing at the exit of the Prairie. Talking to them is optional and doesn't have any major impact on the game but will allow extra dialog in Lavitz's home if you return and speak to them once on each remaining chapter.
Chapter 2: The Platinum Shadow[]
If you visit Prairie after Chapter 1, you will come across the owner of the shack who really enjoys his "wood chopping life."
