==Past==
'''Ballymolloy''' (formerly '''Rexwood''') is a town located on an island north-north-west of [[Estard]] Island in ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. It is the first island that the party visits in the past.
When the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]], [[Kiefer]], and [[Maribel]] enters the portal, they land in a hill not too far from Rexwood. Wondering how they got from the Estard Ruins to this place, Maribel leaves the two guys to find her way back to [[Fishbel]]. She then screams in horror. When the Hero and Kiefer go to find out what had happened to her, they find out that she is being attacked by [[slime| slimes]]. The three join forces and defeat the monsters. Maribel is horrified that there are monsters lurking about while Kiefer is ecstatic he fought them, believing that monsters only existed in fairy tales. While exploring the hill, they meet a lady named [[Matilda]] in front of a grave.


Due to the absence of flowers in the area, she used weeds to offer to the dead. But Maribel insists that she use flower seeds that she picked when she was in [[Estard]]. Matilda accepts them, and, after planting the seeds on the graves, escorts them to the village. Upon reaching the village, Matilda leaves them without even saying goodbye.

When the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VII)|Hero]], [[Kiefer]], and [[Maribel]] enter the portal, they land in the woods not too far from Ballymolloy. Wondering how they got from the [[Shrine of Mysteries]] to this place, Maribel leaves the two guys to find her way back to [[Pilchard Bay]]. She then screams in horror. When the Hero and Kiefer go to find out what had happened to her, they find out that she is being attacked by [[slime]]s. The three join forces and defeat the monsters. Maribel is horrified that there are monsters lurking about, while Kiefer is ecstatic he fought them, believing that monsters only existed in fairy tales. While exploring the hill, they meet a female [[warrior]] named [[Maeve]] standing in front of a grave.


In the village, they see no women in the area, because all of them have been captured by monsters. They meet a boy named Patrick who is taking care of his father, [[Hank]], who is injured. The villagers aren't able to go to the Colorstone Mine to get the medicine that would cure him due to the fact that the mine is overflowing with monsters. Patrick asks the party if they have seen Matilda, to which the party replies in the affirmative. He tells them about how Matilda saved his father from the monsters. He asks if they run into Matilda, they should ask her if she can get a green colorstone.

He asks if they run into Maeve, they should ask her if she can get a green gem.


Deep in the mine, they eventually saw a Green Colorstone, a colorstone able to heal Hank's injuries. Matilda, who shows up again, helps the party get a piece of the colorstone, and at the same time, gives them a wooden doll. She says that it is a memento of her brother, but she doesn't need it anymore.

Ballymolloy (formerly Rexwood) is a town located on an island north-north-west of Estard Island in Dragon Quest VII. It is the first island that the party visits in the past.

Story

Past

When the Hero, Kiefer, and Maribel enter the portal, they land in the woods not too far from Ballymolloy. Wondering how they got from the Shrine of Mysteries to this place, Maribel leaves the two guys to find her way back to Pilchard Bay. She then screams in horror. When the Hero and Kiefer go to find out what had happened to her, they find out that she is being attacked by slimes. The three join forces and defeat the monsters. Maribel is horrified that there are monsters lurking about, while Kiefer is ecstatic he fought them, believing that monsters only existed in fairy tales. While exploring the hill, they meet a female warrior named Maeve standing in front of a grave.

Due to the absence of flowers in the area, she used weeds to offer to the dead. But Maribel insists that she use flower seeds that she picked when she was in Estard. Matilda accepts them and, after planting the seeds on the graves, escorts them to the village. Upon reaching the village, Maeve leaves them without even saying goodbye.

In the village, they see no women in the area, because all of them have been captured by monsters. They meet a boy named Patrick who is taking care of his father, Hanlon, who is injured. The villagers aren't able to go to the Rainbow Mines to get the medicine that would cure him, due to the fact that the mine is overflowing with monsters. Patrick asks the party if they have seen Maeve, to which the party replies in the affirmative. He tells them about how Maeve saved his father from the monsters. He asks if they run into Maeve, they should ask her if she can get a green gem.

Upon reaching the mine, they meet Maeve again inside. They explain the situation to her about Hanlon, Patrick's father. However, she is unwilling to help. So the party takes it upon themselves to find the gem themselves.

Deep in the mine, they eventually saw a green gem, one that is able to heal Hanlon's injuries. Maeve, who shows up again, helps the party get a piece of it, and at the same time, gives them a wooden doll. She says that it is a memento of her brother, but she doesn't need it anymore.

The party return to Ballymolloy and give the green gem fragment to Patrick who applies it to his father's wounds. Patrick thanks the party for saving his father and in gratitude, he has the innkeeper put them up for the night for free. Before going to sleep, Maribel asks the hero whether or not they will ever see Pilchard Bay again. She then decides not to worry about it and goes to sleep.

Upon curing Hanlon, he joins the party for the trip to the Tower near the village in which is rumored to be the reason why the girls of the village had gone missing. It is guarded by a Golem, who seems particularly interested in Hanlon. After defeating the Golem, the party gains access to the tower. At the peak of the tower, they fight the Crabble-rouser, who is minding the tower while their boss is away. Upon defeating it, the boss of the tower appears. It is Maeve. The Crabble-rouser asks her to kill the people who entered the tower, but she kills it instead. Maeve tells the party that what the monster said was true. They discover that Maeve's true form is a monster, that the girls will never return as long as she lives and that she is willing to die in exchange for the peace of Ballymolloy. They eventually defeat her. As Hanlon delivers the final blow, Maeve tells the party to return to the place where they first met.

When the party steps outside the tower, the sun shines on them. Hanlon wonders if the women have really returned as Maeve said they would so the party heads back to Ballymolloy. There, they discover that Maeve told the truth. The women have returned. Hanlon returns to his son and tells him that he has defeated the monsters. When Patrick asks if they saw Maeve, Hanlon tells them that they did. Satisfied with that answer, Patrick leaves the area. Hanlon tells the party to return to the place where they first saw Maeve to see if there is a way to return home like she said. However, if it turns out that there isn't, he tells them to return and he would protect them.
