Progression
Speak to Hassian
- Player
- What happened to your poetry book?
- Hassian
- A poetry book? You must have the wrong person. I don't write poetry!
- Player
- My bad. Guess I'm looking for another Hassian...
- Hassian
- Fine, you've got me. It's mine! I suppose you're planning on using it to humiliate me!
- Player
- I would never do that to a friend.
- Player
- You deserve it, but I'm taking the high road.
- Hassian
- I appreciate the discretion, and while I hate to owe you more than I already do...I do have one more favor to ask.
- I have it on good authority that the rascal who destroyed my poetry book was non-other than a chapaa!
- The fiend must have scattered the missing pages around Bahari. I would appreciate if you would search their nest to find them.
- It would be better if it was you rather than...someone else.
Completion
Return to Hassian

- Hassian
- Thank you. Tell me...What did you think of them?
- Player
- I loved them!
- Hassian
- ...Truly?
- Regardless of how you feel... I do hope you'll agree to keep this between us. I have a reputation to uphold.
- Player
- I'd be interested in reading more.
- Hassian
- I am not sure whether you're being truly honest...
- In any case... I do hope you'll agree to keep this between us. I have a reputation to uphold.
- Player
- You should stick to hunting.
- Hassian
- Never mind. It was silly of me to ask. Art is subjective after all.
- Though it goes without saying...I do hope you'll agree to keep that between us. I have a reputation to uphold.
Poem Transcripts
The Hunt for the Sorceress
The hunter parts the veil of the forest.
A Chopaa dives deftly from the aim of his bow.
The world stands still in the realm of the Sorceress.
The Sernuk mother stands guard at her fortress.
A crack of branches, the danger is shown.
The Hunter parts the veil of the forest.
Enemy and ally alike-she's remorseless.
If her heart softens, the Dragon only knows.
‹ 1 / 2 ›
A glimpse of dark curls and his soul sings a chorus.
A sly witch approaches, his heart is in throes.
The Hunter parts the veil of the forest.
Her heart is a fishing net, picky and porous.
Love, it sieves through. Admiration, it holds.
The world stands still in the realm of the Sorceress.
The light of the sun hits the Dragon Shrine toruses.
The start of a doomed, new love is foretold.
The Hunter parts the veil of the forest.

Eyes
Eyes, oh eyes, why do you follow me as I walk through the silent wood?
Familiar eyes, though I can't place you, I would go to you if I could.
Eyes, oh eyes, from another place, another time, you've got me in your spell.
I do not believe I've seen your ilk on this side of the veil.
Oh eyes, oh eyes, why do you haunt me?
When I eat and when I sleep.
Why, oh eyes, do I feel your secrets?
Secrets I know that I must keep.
A Haiku
Chapaa in the grass,
Quick little scoundrel. Fa-woosh--
One shot! Chaapa stew..
