[ WP ] When NPCs are n't seen they are searching , constantly searching for places or items that will elevate them to the title of `` Side Quest NPC '' . It is fabled also that there is an ever greater title still .

There have been many who have tried. 
 There have been almost just as many who have failed. 
 
 The quest to become a'Quest-Giver' was ever going for the NPC kind. The Hero, in their quest, would eventually interact with this Quest-Giver, either through the Hero's toil or the Giver's. Many have attempted to elevate their title, as a mere sidequest or even an optional requirement. But not this man. This is the story of the NPC named Eston. Eston had decided to raise above the sidequest-givers, or even the Main Liners - No, Eston was to be a Companion. 
 
 `` Eston, you're up late again!'' It was the sound of Eston's sister, Belron - `` Your eggs are going to get cold!'' 
 `` Bell, you know I could n't sleep last night, not after what I have planned for today!'' He replied. He stepped through his small living room into their kitchen, and began to prepare his morning. 
 `` Eston, this may well be the last time I ever see you again - you could try to be a little less.. *Ecstatic* about it..'' Belron replied. 
 `` I'm sorry, Bell, but I've waited my whole life for this! Mother and Father left long ago, and left us to fend for ourselves. I did n't join the Captain's Guard for nothing; I plan to be Alron's companion!'' 
 Belron sighed. 
 `` Yes, I know. You've done nothing but talk about it for a moon, now.'' She said. 
 Eston took a seat at their table in the kitchen and began eating. 
 `` If you actually are accepted by Alron, I hope you do n't lose sight of your purpose.'' She said. 
 `` Bell,'' He said, with a mouthful of egg, `` Do n't worry. I will find our parents. Alron's quest is to end the life of the Dreg-hel King. Last they were headed, father was headed for a book out there - the book of a dead Hero long gone. A Questing catalyst.'' He continued eating. 
 `` Fine,'' Belron sighed. `` If you are set upon it, there is nothing I can do. I'll just be left here alone.'' 
 `` Now, do n't be so negative,'' Replied Eston `` There will always be the Companion's Bonus from the Guard to keep you going - That, and the countless amount of loot Alron will probably forget about would be invaluable.'' 
 `` Just.. make sure you do n't die out there in Dreg-Hel, Eston. I do n't know if I could carry on living without you.'' 
 
 
 Eston later found himself at the Gardian keep - As he usually did around work time - in the presence of his guard's leader, Helsi. `` Eston. I have a very unusual task to put upon you, that I assure you I would not entrust to anybody else.'' He said. `` Yes, sir. The Companionship of Alron, I assume.'' Eston replied. 
 `` No.'' replied Helsi. 
 `` What? What do you mean? Has he rejected me?'' said Eston in a panic. 
 `` Unfortunately, no.. You see, our perimeter guard.. found Alron's corpse near southern bluffs.'' 
 Eston gasped. Without the Hero, he could not carry through his service, and never find his parents again. 
 `` The rest of the guard council has, however, agreed that it would be unwise to let the people panic under the death of their Hero.'' Helsi continued. `` And we have noted a striking resemblance between you and Alron.'' 
 Eston waited, in stricken silence. 
 `` Eston, we need you to be the next Alron, and slay the Dreg-Hel king.'' 
 Eston stood, amazed at this alignment of fate. He waited, and contemplated the implications. 
 
 `` I'll do it.''
