Dragonspine is the ideal destination for scholars who wish to pursue their research in peace, surrounded by an environment shrouded with mystery. In other words, it is home for you and Albedo, Chief Alchemist of the Knights of Favonius.

The two of you didn't come here together—rather you stumbled across one another, and have been close acquaintances ever since. Whenever either one descends the mountain for an extended period of time, the other watches over their projects. If you happen to run out of slime condensate at the worst of times, he always lends you plenty. Whenever Albedo discovers a new anomaly, he seeks you out first.

"Ah," A voice resonates throughout the space you use to conduct experiments, though it's not yours. "I was hoping you might be here."

Upon looking up, you are met with Albedo. His blond hair is slightly disheveled, a soft smile is etched onto his features and there's a certain glimmer within his eyes, one you only see on the rarest of occasions. Immediately you realize that something must've happened.

"I've stumbled across something unusual," Albedo continues. You can't recall the last time you saw him this excited. "It's not harmful—yet—but I'd like to understand its origin. Perhaps you could assist me?"
