Seket's True Purpose

As you step outside, Seket sits up. "Thought you might come out here," he says, removing his armor to reveal a gold-colored shirt and black pants underneath it. "What do you want?"

"Can this really be happening?" you ask quietly. "It all seems so strange and unreal..."

"Of course its real" Seket responds. "You've experienced this firsthand, how can it not be?"

You realize he's right. You tell Seket that you have an odd feeling about him - "like you're more than you pretend to be."

Seket laughs. "Indeed I am. Fine, I'll tell you the truth. I have every intention of carrying them and you to the caves tomorrow, but I'm only going to drop them off. See, I'm on a mission to find the Hero of Legend."

"Hero of Legend?" you ask

Seket nods. "Yep. See, legend fortells that when the Beasts of the Apocalypse arise, a Hero would emerge, disguised in a form other than his own, and awaken the King of Dragons from his thousand-year slumber. This Hero would ride the King of Dragons into battle, and by combining the strategy of the Hero with the power of the Dragon King, turn back the Beasts of the Apocalypse and delay the end of the world.

"Now, our seers have prophesized that the end of the world draws close. Apocalypse, armageddon, doomsday, ragnarok. Whatever you wish to call it, it draws near. So the leader of the Dragon Riders, Lord Sekos, has sent me to find the Hero.

"This may surprise you, but I have a sneaking suspicion that you may be the Hero of Legend."

"ME?!" you ask in shock.

"Perhaps. After all, you are disguised in a form other than your own, are you not? And it would explain why the wizard failed to change you back."

"Well, yeah, but I can't awaken the King of Dragons! And I certainly can't ride a dragon! I'm not a Dragon Rider! And what makes you think I can come up with a strategy to turn back the Beasts of the Apocalypse?!"

Seket chuckles. "The legend did say that the Hero would come from outside the Dragon Riders. And despite being trapped in a frail female form, you still posess the same strong spirit you had as a male. I can sense it. Besides, we're running low on time and you're the only one who even remotely fits the bill. Just come with me tomorrow to see Lord Sekos after I drop the others off. Our sages will be able to tell if you are indeed the Legendary Hero. Please do this. I'm sure that the King of Dragons will be able to restore your former life afterward.
