Dialogue[]

(First interaction)

Bolaris: (Boy/Girl), you look strong and healthy. Would you be interested in testing my invention?

The person in front of you strikes up a conversation. One of their arms has been replaced with an extremely lifelike prosthetic — it looks very unique.

You also made a simulated universe?

Bolaris: ...What do you mean by "universe"? I don't quite understand... but it's probably not what you think. Let me explain.

It's not something strange, right?

Bolaris: Haha, I don't know what you're thinking, but don't worry. It's just a support device for exercise.

Well, that depends on how much the reward is.

Bolaris: Haha, you're quite the pragmatic youngster. But to be honest, this might not meet your expectations. How about we first see what the situation is?

Bolaris: I invented a pair of "legs." Once worn, even those with limited mobility can move swiftly like the Chrysos Heirs of Zagreus. They can even leap great distances. You don't need me to elaborate. I'm sure you can understand their value.

Bolaris: Now, the rest is just further testing, and I need a young, energetic person to help me out. Kid, would you like to lend me a hand with this?

I love testing things!

Bolaris: Ah, good. You're such a friendly kid. Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time.

You find an open area, and following Bolaris' instructions, you begin to move around... so —

Run two laps.

You start running laps around the baths — 1! 2! 1! Home! ...Wait, why are the guards following you now?

Bolaris: Nice speed, kid, but what's with the crowd trailing behind you?

Guard: Huh? Mr. Bolaris? Are you testing your invention? We just saw this warrior running so fast, and we thought they were chasing a thief!

Jump twice.

You jump a full ten meters high! But as you land, a guest happens to walk by, and you nearly crash into them.

A Passerby: By Kephale! Where did you jump out from? A god! A god has descended!

Bolaris: Well, looks like this device is working just as intended...

With the force of trailblazing, jump forward!

You leap toward the distance with all your might, jumping about... 50 meters or so.

Bolaris: By Aquila, I was only using the term "great distances" for advertising purposes!

Bolaris: Kid, be careful when you turn around! Don't crash into the wall and make a hole!

With your help, the inventor carried out all sorts of tests and, after some time...

Bolaris: Kid, let's put aside the upgrade of this device for now, but the data tells me that you might be a Chrysos Heir...

Bolaris: Although I can't say for certain, at least your level of physical ability is very similar to them. Such a unique specimen is rare, only one in a hundred Light Calendar years... Kid, this is a good thing, but you should also pay attention to rest and not push your body too hard...

(Subsequent interactions)

Bolaris: Whether it's the common people or the Chrysos Heirs, perfection is hard to achieve. The word "flaw" follows us like a shadow.

Bolaris: People should tell each other that these flaws are not the result of mistakes. What I must do is use my intelligence to offer my utmost assistance.

While inspecting his lifelike prosthetic, Bolaris notices your arrival and looks over at you.

Bolaris: Forgive me for getting so carried away talking, child. Are you here to see me?

Are you up for a chat?

Bolaris: Of course... Being able to talk with an energetic youngster like yourself is a true honor for an old man like myself.

You just mentioned prosthetics...

Bolaris: Heh, decades ago, this arm was snatched away by Nikador's kin and left in Ladon City. It was thanks to a warrior from Ladon being nearby that I can stand here and talk today.

Bolaris: That warrior tirelessly told me the story of Aquila, saying that the evernight was due to their eyes that couldn't be kept open, advising me to take it easy. Later, I learned that the warrior had also lost a leg in the war and replaced it with a crude prosthetic.

Bolaris: Since then, I began researching various little gadgets, making them for myself and for my neighbors. Before long, I created this hand and even crafted a new prosthetic leg for him. Whenever I had the chance, I'd gaze at the sky, waiting for the moment to ask Aquila —

Bolaris: Later on... *sigh* he lost his life when Ladon city was destroyed. The prosthetic leg he received didn't end up being much of use, but the habit of creating things, well, that stayed with me.

What have you invented?

Bolaris: Mostly small trinkets... You're curious, aren't you? Well, well, let me tell you about them.

Bolaris: Take the bath, for example: " A table that can float steadily on the water without wobbling," "Wall tiles that change color to indicate water temperature," "A towel that can dry off in just a few second"...

Bolaris: How about those? I wasn't wrong, was I? Just some insignificant little things.

Not bad! Do you have any others?

Bolaris: Hah, being admired by an energetic youngster like yourself... I must admit this has made me smile.

Bolaris: Other creations... "Improved mural paints," "Support saddles for dromases," "Slate racks," "Mascot dolls for the Marmoreal Palace..."

Bolaris: I can't quite remember all of it. After all, compared to the failed attempts, there were only a few successes...

Any "great inventions"?

Bolaris: A big one... a really big one... Now that you mention it, there is one, but... *sigh*... I'm almost reluctant to bring it up.

Bolaris: The giant hand occasionally seen in the ruins, the "Bewitching Hands". It was my idea to use that thing. Later, together with the craftsmen, we tinkered with it for a few months and finally made it.

Bolaris: But no matter how you put it, that was an artifact of Zagreus. I heard that some people have been using it for all sorts of sneaky, underhanded deeds — climbing walls, stealing chickens, you name it. Over time, the trouble it cause kept piling up, and here I am, and old man, powerless to do anything about it. It's really troubling.

Bolaris: Later on, that hand was taken by a merchant to be sold as a commodity. He made all sorts of strange and ridiculous requests, and I just couldn't be bothered anymore... Do me a favor, kid. if anyone asks about it in the future, don't tell them I made it.

What have you been creating recently?

Bolaris: In addition to that support device, I've also been studying the human eye, hoping that one day I'll figure it out and create a real prosthetic eye that can actually see, but it's always been unsuccessful...

Bolaris: The sponsor of this invention advised me not to rush. He said that many things are inevitable, and besides, he's already gotten used to it. Furthermore —

Bolaris: Take the bath, for example: " A table that can float steadily on the water without wobbling," "Wall tiles that change color to indicate water temperature," "A towel that can dry off in just a few second"...

Bolaris: "Even if AquilaSky Titan cannot give us ownership of their sky, GeoriosEarth Titan has given us dromases as compensation." That is the logic.

Bolaris: That being said, problems like this are always better solved sooner than later. Ah, I cannot trouble a child like yourself with such things, haha. I just hope that I can make some progress before I am too old.

I'll leave you to it. See you soon.

Bolaris: Good, good, such courtesy. Until next time, may Aquila watch over you, child.
