Ralirea sings, "In a distant land my love came to me.
Her hair in braid and bow;
And long ago over shining sea
My love was lost in a gate's blue glow.
'Where has she gone?' her mother wails.
'Where has she gone?' she asks of me.
The wind asks 'Where?' in the sails
As ever I search over land and sea.
In a distant land my love was lost.
I seek it still, wherever I go,
through snow and gale and storm and frost:
Just a glimpse,
one more glimpse,
of that gate's blue glow.
 
Ralirea pokes the wood of his fire with a stick, and a swarm of embers ascend like fireflies. The hunter watches them, and sighs. "Ever do they fade," he murmurs.

Ralirea sings, "The falling leaves glow read and gold,
the colors of faded glory,
the colors of faded dreams.
When I was young and strong and bold,
Ere I was old and hoary,
I knew that glory, so red, so gold---
The colors of faded dreams."

Ralirea looks away toward the distant sea, and murmurs, "Somewhere..."

Ralirea grasps the small clay figurine that dangles from his neck, and holds
it before the flickering light of the fire.

From Doomlord II of FF:

Ralirea grunts as he swings his harpoon, "Doomlord II, I am among the
greatest of the Aun hunters. You have little chance against me. Go you on
your ways, and leave my party be."

The mighty Ralirea sags from Doomlord II's fatal blow. "Ah, Mirakah," he
murmurs. "I shall not be able to fill our stores this winter. But I will
meet you at the lodge, my love... at last..." So saying, the hunter passes
like the wind over sea.

From Sito and Dueeliz:

Hea Arantah tells you, "Ha! Your keh is all wrong! You
were not the one who slew Ralirea this day - someone else did, and gave
you his totem. Tell your friend to come and collect my reward himself, I am too important to deal with errand-runners."

Hea Arantah tells you, "You're Sito! They told me what you did - you killed that poacher Ralirea! Give me his figurine. Quickly, quickly!"
You give Hea Arantah Clay Figurine.
A suspicious scowl lumbers across the young Tumerok chieftain's face.
Hea Arantah tells you, "Now wait. My memory isn't what it used to be since the atual arutoa... bettered me, but I do remember your face, Sito."
Hea Arantah tells you, "Yes... I rewarded you for Ralirea's death before. That means this figurine must be a fake! You dare try to fool the mighty friend of the atual? Go away before I use my Grip on you!"
