[complete] I'll follow you down till the sound of my voice will haunt you

[Wysteria Fairy]

One of these days, she'd really love if someone came to her with a new reason. Protection, defense, strength. It was all very predictable...and boring. Can you really blame her? She is ancient and ageless and sometimes, she'd just like something to be interesting. Alas, this is not one of those cases, but still she comes, though without much flourish today. Though suddenly appearing out of nowhere might be considered flourish..."It is an endless circle in which you walk. You ask for strength to protect those you love, and then soon those you protect them against will come to us and seek the same thing, to protect their own. It never ends until there is nothing left to protect at all. So first, I require that you learn what it means to protect others without the use of magic. When you have figured that out, return to me." Then she disappears, as suddenly as she had come.

You have received a quest! You must have (at least) 4 threads learning to protect others without the use of magic.
