(*Elazul is pacing in front of the hero/ine's house*)

BGM: Kokoro no Aru Basho ("The Place Where the Heart Is")

Elazul: Did Pearl come?

Choice split:
Hero/ine: She came.
Elazul: Really? Well... thanks. Tell her I'll be waiting at the tavern, if you see her... (*he runs off*)
(*if the hero/ine returns home, Elazul's back again*)
Elazul: I can't find Pearl... where could she be... dammit!

Choice split:
Hero/ine: Let's find her!
Elazul: I am grateful. But we have no clues... let's check outside.

Hero/ine: Ignore.
Elazul: Hang in there, Pearl! (*he runs off*)
 

Hero/ine: Not yet.
Elazul: So then, this note...! Dammit! The jewel hunter has kidnapped her!
Choice split:
Hero/ine: Let's find her!
Elazul: I am grateful. But we have no clues... let's check outside.

Hero/ine: Ignore.
Elazul: Hang in there, Pearl! (*he runs off*)

Hero/ine: Ignore.
Elazul: Why do you remain silent? Wait... does this mean Pearl... (*the hero/ine trembles*) Pearl was kidnapped by the jewel hunter! Dammit! (*he runs off*)
(*if the hero/ine returns home, Elazul's back again*)
Elazul: I can't find Pearl... where could she be... dammit!

Choice split:
Hero/ine: Let's find her!
Elazul: I am grateful. But we have no clues... let's check outside.

Hero/ine: Ignore.
Elazul: Hang in there, Pearl! (*he runs off*)

(*whenever the hero/ine agrees to help Elazul, the quest title appears. Once you exit to the map screen one of Sandra's notes appears, lodged where Mekiv Caverns is on the map*)

BGM: World of Mana

(*in Mekiv*)

BGM: ???

Duck: What are you two up to?
Elazul: We are looking for a friend. Have you seen her? Speak the truth or else...
Duck: DOn't threaten me!! You're talking about an innocent-looking little girl, right? She was with some lady!
Elazul: A lady with orange flowers?
Duck: Yeah, her! She was wearing a green skirt, and her legs were just fantastic!
Elazul: So, which way did they go?
Duck: (*walks to the upper right*) They took the path on the upper right!
Elazul: Pearl! (*his core flashes*) We must hurry!

(*eventually the hero/ine comes across a sproutling*)

Sproutling: People don't come here often. But I saw two girls pass by just a second ago.
Elazul: (*his core flashes*) Pearl!
Sproutling: They went... (*it takes a step*) straight... (*it walks to the upper right*) this way.
Elazul: Let's go!

(*when the hero/ine and Elazul go a little further*)

Elazul: My core... getting cloudy... (*his core flashes*) Pearl... where could she be...?

(*there is an odd being here. When it is spoken to...*)

Being: I saw the stone here. A tiny stone, giving off a beautiful light. It was like the stars in the night sky. (*it bows*) Well, what is it you seek?

Choice split:
Hero/ine: Ask about Pearl.
Being: Are you two friends? Then you'd better hurry.
Elazul: I know! Which way did they take her?
Being: They took Pearl straight through this middle path. (*the hero/ine begins to walk forward*)
Elazul: Wait... (*the hero/ine stops*) No, it's nothing.

Hero/ine: Who are you?
Being: I am not one of renown.
Elazul: I'm looking for a friend. Have you seen a girl wearing a white dress?
being: Yes, I saw her. She went into the cavern with Sandra.
Elazul: Which way did they go?
Being: They took Pearl straight through this middle path. (*the hero/ine begins to walk forward*)
Elazul: Wait... (*the hero/ine stops*) No, it's nothing.

(*if the being is talked to again*)
Being: Is there anyone in this world who hates what is beautiful? Men compete... sometimes they kill each other just to get it. The greater the beauty, the more it is vied for, and the more it is hurt. Such tragedy... (*it bows*) Well, what is it you seek?

Options:
Hero/ine: Ask about Pearl.
Being: Are you two friends? Then you'd better hurry.
Elazul: I know! Which way did they take her?
Being: They took Pearl straight through this middle path. (*the hero/ine begins to walk forward*)
Elazul: Wait... (*the hero/ine stops*) No, it's nothing.

Hero/ine: Ask about the Jumi.
Being: There is a legend... what whoever sheds tears for a Jumi shall turn to stone. This is to forbid contact between Jumi and the others. I think I know why...

Hero/ine: Ask about the Jewels.
Being: A friend of mine longs for jewels that sparkle.

(*when the hero/ine and Elazul continue on*)

Elazul: I have a bad feeling about this... my core has never been so clouded before.

(*finally, the hero/ine and Elazul catch up to Sandra and Pearl*)

BGM: Houseki Dorobo Sandora Sanjou! ("The Jewel Thief Sandra Arrives!")

Elazul: Pearl...
Sandra: Well? Have you remembered your true purpose?
Pearl: How many times are you going to ask me? I have no idea what you're talking about!
Sandra: Why you...!! (*Elazul and the hero/ine come running up*)
Elazul: Get away from Pearl!
Pearl: Elazul!
Sandra: Heh, I've been waiting.
Elazul: Hand Pearl over, now!
Sandra: Do I look like a woman who would listen to you?
Elazul: I'll make you listen... with this sword!
Sandra: Hah! Too late! (*she throws something--probably a card--at Elazul, damaging his core*)
Elazul: Wha!?
Pearl: !!! (*she runs to him*) Elazul! (*she kneels down before him*)
Sandra: Pearl... your dear Elazul's core is scratched!
Elazul: Pearl..........
Sandra: What now, my pretty? Will you not save your knight with tears of compassion?
Elazul: Don't listen... to her...
Pearl: Elazul... (*the being from before enters*)
Being: Sandra, stop that.
Sandra: The king...
Being: It's pointless to hurt each other.
Sandra: I cannot stand this girl... and all the Jumi! Why do you not cry? Answer me, Pearl!
Pearl: No matter how sad... I cannot shed tears. We can't cry!
Sandra: You are incapable of healing! You are just a princess! (*Pearl stands*)
Pearl: That's right... We Jumi lost our tears many ages ago...
Sandra: The Jumi did lose something, but tears it was not... listen to what your core tells you!
Pearl: (*looks back over at Elazul, worriedly*) ......
Sandra: Still you fail to understand. Even you, heiress to the memories of antiquity... Jaded stones which lost their clarity. Elazul the Knight and Pearl the Guardian! Both your cores are now mine!
Pearl: I don't need the power to heal... just give me the power to fight! (*she touches her core, which flashes, and then, surrounded by flowers, she changes into Blackpearl*)
Sandra: Blackpearl...!
Elazul: Pearl...
Sandra: Do you really wish to battle with me, Sandra?
Sandra: No! I would never do such a... (*she flees*)

(*the hero/ine and Blackpearl chase after her, battle with a Jewel Beast ensues*)

BGM: The Darkness Nova

(*after the battle, the hero/ine returns to the previous area, to find Sandra and Blackpearl already there*)

BGM: Houseki Dorobo Sandora Sanjou! ("The Jewel Thief Sandra Arrives!")

Sandra: I cannot believe she would just throw away someone who is like a sister to her.
Blackpearl: Is Florina alive?
Sandra: Didn't she always say, "Always find the answer yourself."
Blackpearl: I remember...
Sandra: I'll be going now. We'll meet again, Jumi Knight... (*Sandra jumps over Blackpearl and runs away*)
Elazul: Pearl...
Blackpearl: Pearl is gone. You are now free, Lapis Knight. I'm sorry for the pain I caused you. (*she walks off*)
Elazul: Pearl...
(*when the hero/ine talks to either the being or Elazul*)
Being: We must not let this beautiful stone die. (*the hero/ine and Elazul are teleported to the hero/ine's home. Elazul is in the hero/ine's bed; Bud and Lisa are there if the hero/ine took them in*)

BGM: Kokoro no Aru Basho ("The Place Where the Heart Is")

Elazul: Ugh...
Lisa: I'll go get some medicine!
Bud: That won't help.
Lisa: How come?
Bud: This guy's a Jumi. Medicine doesn't work on them.
Lisa: But...
Elazul: Pearl...
