Eye of the Storm
Greetings, sweets. Me heard the most beautiful thing. You see, the island whisper to me, tell me all of him secrets, and he say “them outsiders broke something that cannot be unbroken”. He say “they mess with a thing beyond them, and now them children’s children’s bones will rot in regret”.
The thing about a prison that it is only as strong as them bars that make it. Or them guards that guard it. Say someone come to that prison and kill them guards, break them bars… what is left? I says that prison cell become a room, with a door that open as easy as any common door.
So many years I longed to see the sky, to stretch my legs - well, me fins for now - so forgive I and I if I don’t stick around and greet you proper. I’ll be leaving a welcoming committee on my behalf.
Challenge the beasts!

Posted by [NPC] Merana
Merana is by far my favorite villain, she is just so evil and gorgeous! But, that being said... I show zero support to someone evil enough to revel in human sacrifice, especially that of a child. Sure, Shinwa isn't perfect, but you can't compare her to the likes of Merana.
Just wanted to say, pretty please with a cherry on top, leave these challengers up through the weekend.
Even if you have to advance the plot you could do some hand waving. Something like, even though Merana is yadda yadda yadda some of her magic is lingering in her beasts and we need to clean them up.

Perused this quite interesting, citing a reference in the actual post is Merana going to sprout legs??! :O ~ Ohhh Nooo! ~
Still running down the hill.
And really, this is all Shinwa's fault for starting these shenanigans. Punishing Merana for, you know, mind control, okay I get that. But then she bound the woman to an Island full of people, and then Merana decided to lord over those people and demand human sacrifice. Oh yeah, and for those wondering where Shinwa is now, she actually can't leave her temple in the Sacred Lands or she loses all her power.
Same thing with Maleria too; Maleria can't leave Darkside or do much, because then Shinwa can do something about that. Sooooooo I don't know who (outside of us) could stop Merana. Except maybe the Old Wizard.

@AnabellasSong The subetapedia is severly lacking with regards to old plots. There's nothing in there about Blake's last expedition, or the whole Amy thing, or all of these other old events that all of the NPCs keep referencing. It's just kind of exclusive to newer players.
Hey Merana got any job positions open? I've looking for a part time gig and you have always been on of my favorite less then good people.
Jallyfaaaash! My favourite opponent! So much fun to say! I'm super stoked to have these guys back!
What I will say about this whole plot, not that it's not been fun, is that it's really been the Throwback Plot™. For those of us who weren't here during all of these old events, it really makes the plot uninteresting/confusing because I don't get all of these old things all the characters are referencing.
I know Merana is bad news, but I would love it if she got some kind of redemption type of thing. I don't know how you come back from killing hundreds of people and stealing their souls, but, gosh. I'll defend Shinwa where she deserves it, but was it really necessary to lock Merana up on an island and turn her into a sea witch because she was vain? Then again, it said Merana punished those who didn't acknowledge her beauty, so I guess it would depend on what kind of "punishments" she was dealing out...
Welcome to my temple, Arte. You're here to gaze upon my beauty, right? I am the most beautiful goddess around after all. You may look, but don't touch, please. What's that? My bracelet? Ugh, I can't believe it's gone yet again. Want to help a goddess out and fetch it back for me?
I'd like to point this out too that Shinwa is vain as frickfrackpaddywack. I think she was just jealous because Merana is hotter than she is. That's why she really banished her.

Hey Blake! Merana's gone on holiday! Wanna investigate a goddess's temple with me?!!! I mean, what more could happen?
Don't touch glowing crystals. Here I was hoping for a new water/ocean related colour. No Hydrus and Aqua are not enough. :P
Also the dunmb feeling you get when going to battle with your "default set" and your T11 pet frowns at the T3 weapons you forgot to change again the day before.

I love that Merana is suppose to sound like Tia Dahlma, I always liked the way she spoke. Love the artwork for Cozcoatl too, can't defeat it though -_-
Do you really want me to fight a sweet, defenseless, old crab wearing a very cute hat and you give me crab legs as a reward? Whyyyy?
Merana may not have been the nicest person when she was human, but the crimes she was guilty of certainly did not merit the intervention of a Goddess or banishment. Because of Shinwa's actions things got worse; Merana sought revenge, started demanding blood and honing her skills. It was only a matter of time before she got her chance and now she is free. All of this is Shinwa's fault so where is she now? Why does she not speak out? We've heard from the Oracle so where is Subeta's all mighty Goddess now? If you ask me she only punished Merana the way she did because of her own jealousy, she is no better. Shinwa is a child, ALL HAIL MERANA!
Oh Merana, you will regret! At least you will regret this day! Your vanity draw you deep in an ocean of darkness, it made you believe you where to punish people and it got you caught in this form and in a prison by a goddess whose vanity was once just as big as yours, but you didn't recognize the message, you didn't redeem yourself, you didn't regret. Instead you grew even worse, demanding innocent blood year after year, draining hope and love from the islanders till they where forced to back up to desperate measures to satisfy your blood-thirst. You killed Amy! Now you managed to crawl out of your prison, a prison that protected you as much as it hold you captive and we will let you pay! We will end your cruel reign and make the islands peaceful again! No more sacrifices! No more victims! We will bring this to and end once and for all! Beware Merana! Beware and seek redemption as long as you can! Or we will do what Shinwa should have done all those time before! It's judgement day!
(Btw: I LOVE THIS PLOT!!!!)

I don't get it! Who must I fight? Merana? What beast? Besides 504 and 502 WHO ELSE should I fight?!?!
