Editing Argon heart

[[File:ArgonHeart.png|thumb|150px|An Argon heart.]]
The '''Argon heart''' and '''Great big Argon heart''' are both key items in {{DQ8}}. Contrary to their name, they are actually gizzard stones.

==Story==
Needing the Magic Mirror from the King [[Clavius]] of [[Argonia]], The {{Hero 8}} & {{Party 8}} agree to escort Prince [[Charmles]] to the [[Royal Hunting Ground]] so that he can go through the rites of passage to become king.

The {{Party 8}} helps him by defeating three [[Argon lizard]]s and winning each heart, though Charmles is unsatisfied at their small size, insisting that they look for a much bigger one.  They eventually find and defeat a [[Great Argon Lizard]], thus obtaining a Great big Argon heart.

Though Charmles manages to find an even bigger one being sold at a bazaar in [[Argonia]], which he buys and presents as the result of his own work.  Unknown by him, The {{Hero 8}} presents King [[Clavius]] with the heart obtained from the initiation.

==Detail==
Argon hearts are obtained through confronting, and defeating an [[Argon lizard]].  Doing so is required by any prince of the [[Kingdom of Argonia]], as a right of passage into becoming king.  It is also common for a member of the royal family to wear a [[Argon ring|ring]] with the heart used as the gem.

==Great big Argon heart==

'''Great big Argon hearts''' though rare are obtained through defeating a [[Great Argon Lizard]].  Other than being valued for their larger size, Great big Argon hearts are no different than average Argon hearts.  Some merchants will be seen selling them.
