待ちぼうけ。待ちぼうけ。

I made this thread to keep track of my quest progress.
I make nice avatars, but I cannot afford some of the items
that I would like to use.
I also wanted to help my friend, Anthh, so I included him.
I also wanted to help my friend, Norgay.
He makes great avatars !
I wanted to surprise him, so I secretly included him, too.
Please help us reach our dreams !
Any help is greatly appreciated.

ｏｎｃｅ ｕｐｏｎ ａ ｔｉｍｅ
It is the end of June. School is closed, now, for the
summer. Your parents have sent you to your aunt's
house in the countryside. Every day seems the same,
but your adventure senses tingle. You just know it.
You are going on a whirlwind adventure!
It is another lonesome morning. Your aunt is baking
pies. You sit alone outside, watching the sunrise.
She calls to you: 'Sweetie, would you go and pick
some nice, fresh blueberries for me?'
You sigh. What a boring task! But you have nothing
better to do. You take a basket and trek into the forest.
You can only find one blueberry bush, but the berries
are all rotten. In fact, the entire forest seems to have
fallen into decay. You hear soft voices; they seem to
be coming from behind the bush!
Your heart beats faster as you gently push the leaves
away. You can't believe your eyes. It is a secret,
abandoned garden. Plants and trash fill every corner.
Colorful flowers bloom. Bugs buzz about the place.
Merciless vines constrict and destroy broken pillars
and antique fences.
You see three beautiful youths talking in silvery voices.
'We are the guardians of this garden and its fountain,
but we --'
The speaking youth pauses, noticing your presence.
'Who are you?' he asks. 'Why have you come here?'
You are unable to speak, stunned by the beauty of the
garden and its even lovelier inhabitants. Even in this
overgrown and abandoned state, the garden is glorious.
The youths are like the consorts of Eros from Greco lore.
At last:
'I was picking berries for my aunt when I heard your
voices. I'm staying at my aunt's estate in the countryside
for the summer.'
The three youths look at each other before one of them
speaks: 'We are the guardians of this garden, but we
were trapped in an evil sorcerer's time-freeze spell for
a hundred years. It disrupted the balance in the energy
of the forest outside and the garden inside. The forest
lost its life force; trees began to die; the earth itself died.
But our garden maintained its magic; life has flourished.
We also had to endure watching our beloved garden fall
into ruins. We have only begun to regain our strength,
but we need your help to restore this garden and the
forest outside once more. Will you help us?'
ｔｈｅ ｉｎｈａｂｉｔａｎｔｓ
Each youth requires certain items to restore his power.
The garden and the forest cannot be restored without
the powers of all three youths!
Each youth also requires gold in order to rebuild and
upgrade the garden. Will you help them?
