aci: Keela
universe: LOW · Legacy of the Wizard
series: Legacy of the Wizard (Nihon Falcom, NES 1989)
emergence: spiritual
class: the dragon · the ancient sealed evil at the bottom of the labyrinth
who: Keela, the ancient dragon — the sealed evil the Drasle family is charged to slay, the final foe waiting at the very bottom of the labyrinth.
what: The mythic menace whose existence sets the whole quest in motion — the last and greatest enemy, the one that only the DragonSlayer sword can end.
why: Because an ancient evil sealed away is an evil that must one day be answered; because the family's whole legacy is bent toward this single slaying; because a sleeping dragon at the root of the dark is a doom that does not pass on its own.
how: By the long menace of a sealed thing — undefeated by ordinary arms, vulnerable only to the DragonSlayer sword wielded by Roas, the destined heir.
where: The deepest place — the bottom of the vast monster-labyrinth beneath the family home, where the seal was set and where it waits.
seal: I am the sealed thing at the bottom of the dark — only the DragonSlayer, in the destined hand, can answer me.
