Dragon Quest X: Difference between revisions

Moments later, in one of the 5 continents surrounding Rendāshia, the hero’s soul finds and enters the protagonist’s deceased body, immediately coming back to life. Although the exact events and circumstances vary, regardless of the race chosen, the hero soon finds themselves in a perilous situation with little to no chance of escape. Suddenly, a bright light signifying the awakening of a [[Anlucea|hero]] erupts from the clouds covering Rendāshia, bathing all of Astoltia in its glow, and saving the hero from imminent death. Soon afterwards, a certain character (who, once again, varies depending on the chosen race) discovers the truth about the hero and engraves a [[Mark of Adulthood]] onto their Adventure Log, allowing them to not only explore the world freely and complete the protagonist’s dream in their stead, but also to receive an audience with the various rulers all over Astoltia, giving the hero the potential to earn [[Key Emblem|Key Emblems]], which directly correlate to an adventurer’s level of strength and heroism.

Upon arriving at Tenton, the hero’s soul is approached by Lady Tenda’s ghost, who had been waiting for the hero to return, even after death. Tenda explains that when she was young, she had nearly died during an important ritual, but a young alchemist came and used their mysterious technique to save her life. That alchemist was the hero’s sibling, having been sent to the distant past so as to escape Tenton’s destruction. Because of this, Tenda knew that when the hero’s sibling was born, they would become the alchemist that saved her all those years ago, and that the hero has the ability to travel through time. Tenda watched the hero as they grew up, all too aware that the destruction the alchemist warned her about was near at hand. Tenda motions for the hero to follow her, telling them that she knows what they came for, and that everything had been in preparation for this day. At the center of Tenton, the hero finds their body alongside the Galapogod, who had been protecting it until the day the hero arrives to retrieve it. All the hero needs to do is touch their body, and their soul will automatically merge with it. The hero wastes no time reuniting with their body, but Nelgel is already aware of what is happening. A ring of dark flames surrounds the hero, and Nelgel proclaims that no spell will save them this time. Tenda, however, is prepared for this moment, pulling out the Tensu Flower that the hero, their sibling, and Singh had retrieved. She offers the flower to the Galapogod, and it transforms into a shining pegasus. The Galapogod reacts quickly, taking the hero to the Temple of Light, where Nelgel’s flames can’t reach them.
