Greetings, friend! Drawn to the beautiful adornments of Hatching–tide, I take it?
Oh, it's you, Forename! What a delight to see you again!
Since we found our “shining, golden treasure,” I've been visiting the little fellow as often as I'm able. He is fast growing into a fine young bird, and I smile to imagine what this year's event might have in store for us.
I'm Jihli Aliapoh, and you are...Forename Surname? 'Tis a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I pray you will join in the revelry with us!
Lest you wonder, the festival was born of a prophetic dream I had a long time ago. It has since grown to become the grand celebration you see now, and I smile to imagine what this year's event might have in store for us.
You see, I've been blessed with a new vision: an egg, hovering in the air, from which a chocobo emerges to startle folk before going on to lay a magnificent, dazzling gemstone. Surreal, I know.
Yet, surreal as it was, if we can recreate the vision, something magical is bound to happen. For this we needed a hovering egg...which proved rather rarer than one might think.
But sure enough, my good friend and helper Nonotta managed to find precisely such an egg as appeared in my dream. Without a doubt a gift from the Archons of old!
With the egg, we shall host a rousing Hatching–tide to be remembered. In so doing, the dazzling gemstone will surely reveal itself to us.
If you would lend a hand in making my vision reality, please seek out Nonotta in Hyrstmill. She has care of the floating egg and will furnish you with further instructions. Off you go, now, and eggspeed!
