The women smile as you dismount and approach the shrine.

'Welcome brave sir, welcome to the Shrine of the Warrior. You come in search of our sacred crop, do you not?' says a rosy-cheeked matron as she dusts the leafy shrubs with a square of silk.

'The fruit of our alether plant will give you strength in battle,' says another and offers you a handful of the small orange berries.

If you wish to purchase some Alether Berries, turn to 123.

If you wish to decline her offer, remount your horse and leave the village, turn to 100.
