Elder Cronos:
We've had this conversation about hatchlings before, haven't we, my young friend? As I said before, raising a hatchling requires resolve, which you haven't proven to me yet. But would you listen, oh no... So here we are... Have you learned anything?
Wait, what is this? Why are you carrying all those dragon flutes? A bit greedy, don't you think? You should get rid of all but one of those if you want to own a strider.
(This quest can only be undertaken by a character with one dragon flute.)
