The First Step into the Quagmire

Nella seemed to be interested in dangerous knowledge lately. She asked about the witches of Hexe Sanctuary. I simply told her it would be fruitless, since the records themselves are either too old or unverified and the witches have all disappeared. She seemed doubtful though. She mentioned that there's an acquaintance of hers at Hexe Sanctuary. I'm worried she might have already set foot in that dangerous place.

She mentioned an acquaintance of hers at Hexe Sanctuary. The name was... Becker... if I recall correctly.

You're looking for Nella as well? She's become quite the popular one. Another stranger came by quite recently searching for her. But yes, she did come to see me. She asked if I could help her find "Hexe Marie." I told her the truth, that Hexe Marie was the witch of legend who summoned Kzarka. I told her multiple times that the witch no longer lives, but she refused to listen and went into the Sanctuary to look for her herself, claiming, and I quote, that "Valkyries s-should not be afraid of mere s-skeletons."
