Went to the southern cave, found a dragon that killed me. Explored the home castle to get some keys, and left to explore the previous dungeon that kicked my butt.
Killing mobs to level and get more gold. Grind, grind...skip with fast forward.
After many session of grind, I push forward and get the magic harp in the grave.
Traded the harp for a rain rod. Pushed to the southern caves for revenge on the Dragon. Saved a Princess, and getting Lora's Love.
After running around for awhile, I was able to get some clues to finding the loto stone at the castle. Some tricky turns and hidden paths, it was on the outskirts of town.
