(yeah i'm not going to use that whole thou-business anymore, i'm not going to spend a day learning a new accent
You finally arrive at the village...also looking completely destroyed and dull.
Squarrior: I have brought another brave fighter, comrades! I've also brought Rectri back!
Squarrior crowd: Wait a minute...He looks a lot like...get the mayor!
A few minutes later...

Mayor: Alright alright, stop pushing now, what's all the ruckus about? What's that, you say? This man might be the man the legend spoke of? You...you're right! The item he is holding is indeed the magic paintbrush, so there is no doubt that he is the man of the legend! ALRIGHT, SQUARRIORS! LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THESE TWO, I NEED TO HAVE A TALK WITH THEM!
Tetro: Uh...I'm not sure what's going on here, but-
Mayor: No no, don't worry. Please, let us go through this doorway here. I will explain everything to you while we're walking.

Mayor: The Squarrior that you found has told me everything. That you are in need of information. Well, let me start by explaining who Reaper is.
Reaper is a man who has plans to completely erase this world. Litterally. You are in possession of an item called the Magic Paintbrush, right? Well, he's in possession of an item called the Magic Eraser. It has the power to erase matter in this dimension, Tetragonia. He wants to erase the world and obtain the Magic Paintbrush so he can create a new one to his liking. The thing is: the Magic Paintbrush is the only item that can undo the effects of the Magic Eraser. Apart from being an item used for magic, it can also be used to create matter. There is a legend that says that only the one whose body is shaped like a square pyramid is able to wield it properly. Ever since we have discovered this legend, we have protected the Magic PaintbrushDid you feel something when you touched the Magic Paintbrush?
Tetro: Yeah, I felt knowledge streaming into my head. It felt enlightening.
Mayor: Well, that means you are indeed the only one who is able to stop Reaper. As you can maybe see, our town has already been half-erased. The colors have all been undone. Reaper has put a Blanco Seal on this town and the general area around it, so the effects can't be undone by the colors in the area around the town. Now, you have the power to remove the Blanco Seal and restore our town, but you have not mastered it yet. Ah, we've arrived at the spot.

Tetro: Hey, this place still has all its colors. How come?
Mayor: Because this place is sacred and is far too powerful for Reaper to take over...but not for long. His power keeps growing tremendously and he needs to be stopped. To master the art of the Magic Paintbrush, you need to collect three sacred items that Reaper's minions stole: The Ruby Flower, the Emerald Stone, and the Cobalt Gear. These are the things you need to master it. They have been spread over three areas that reach just outside the Blanco Seal Reaper put on this land: a grassland called Mineral Meadows, a large mine and a factory used by Reaper for weapons for his minions. See that pedestal over there? It looks like the Ruby Flower would fit in there. This might be very shocking for you, the fact that you're the only one who can save this world, but I beg of you! Please stop Reaper!
Tetro: Well...if I'm really the only one...I guess I have to do this.
Mayor: Thank you...I shall stay here and wait for your return.

Well, you have learned the truth. It has completely turned your world upside down and well, you're not sure what to do next. So what do you do next? It's best to stay in town for a little while to prepare. You can go buy items you might need, and such. You can also just decide to immideatly go to the Mineral Meadows, your first destination. What do you do?
