Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Ondo Visionary: Greetings, finless one, and thank you! Others may be distressed by the change you have wrought, but I consider this to be the opportunity of a lifetime! An opportunity to sssavor the fruits of the land!
Ondo Visionary: Quite literally, in fact, for I wish to make oranges! So deliciousss are the ones we have purchased from traders, full of surprisingly sssour sweetness!
Ondo Visionary: I kept the ssseeds of the one I sssupped upon, and now that the sea has been parted, I can at last try my hand at agricultural endeavors! Or I would...if I knew aught of it. What exactly is agriculture, anyway?
Ondo Visionary: So...you bury the seeds in the earth, and with the aid of the sssun's light, it grows into a tree? Not unlike kelp, then? Well! We certainly do not want for earth here, that much I can say.
Ondo Visionary: We will need a sssubstitute for the sun's light, though. Fortunately, I already have something in mind! Come with me and see for yourself. It is not far─due east of the Cups. Come, come!

Speaking with the Ondo visionary outside the Cups

Ondo Visionary: This is...or was...a variety of feather ssstar─a creature of the sea that shimmers with the radiance of a flower in bloom. Alas, in the absssence of water, it is rather less radiant than I remember...
Ondo Visionary: No need to say it. I know this will not do. But worry not! I know of another possible sssolution! Follow me to the northwest, past Where the Dry Return.

Following the Ondo visionary to the Norvrandt Slope

Ondo Visionary: See this white anemone and the ssstarfish which resides above it? Both radiate a gentle light to lure fish that they might feast. Surely this will serve for our purposes?

< What will you say?> 
< Can't say it looks all that promising. >
< The light looks a little weak... >

(Both)
Ondo Visionary: Oh, is it now? I rather thought it was... Hmm. Ssso be it. I do have one final idea, though it is a bit far, so let us first return to the Cups.

Following the Ondo visionary to the Cups

Ondo Visionary: I must apologize, finless one, for making you walk hither and thither to no end. I only hope that this third option will meet with your approval...
Ondo Visionary: It is far, far below, and a fair ways to the west besides. Mind your footing and take care not to ssslip.

Following the Ondo visionary into the caverns below the Cups

Ondo Visionary: Behold! Is it not wondrousssly bright? So many lussstrous plants filling the cavern with their light─surely there is no better place for us to plant our orange seeds!?

< What will you say?> 
< You know, this just might work! >
< It's barely enough. Barely. >

(Both)
Ondo Visionary: Huzzah, I knew it! And with a little more light, the oranges will grow as plump and juicy as they would on land!
Ondo Visionary: I cannot thank you enough, finless one, but I aim to try! Let us return to the Cups at once!

Returning with the Ondo visionary to the Cups

Ondo Visionary: You are too kind, my friend, accompanying me all over in my quest to find a second sun for my beloved oranges. We may not know for some time if the flora and fauna of the sea can provide enough light, but I look forward to finding out!
Ondo Visionary: Most Ondo have never known the joy that is a juicy orange, but one day they will! I shall have an orchard, and every Ondo shall feassst on its fruits!
