Varke wants to get a picture of a giant bird, with wings spread wide in the Hebra Mountains. He mentions that if Link travels to [[Talonto Peak]] and looks to the northwest on a clear day, he can see the form a giant bird on the mountainside. While Varke wishes he can go himself, he can't leave the stable unattended. He mentions even a picture of the giant bird would suffice.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|I've been putting a lot of thought into what might be a good painting to pair with that frame. And I've finally made my decision. I want a picture of the giant bird with wings spread wide in the Hebra Mountains.

If you look to the northwest from that tree on a clear day, you can see the form of a giant bird on the mountainside. I've never seen the real thing though. I'd go if I could...but there's no way I can leave the stable unattended. But how magnificent it must be! Thinking of that giant bird stretching its wings in the Hebra Mountains gives me chills.

It has to be a clear day in order to capture the picture, which means, the [[Tulin of Rito Village]] quest must be completed, otherwise it will be perpetually snowing. On a clear day, when Link looks down to the northwest, the snow on the ground resembles a bird. If Link pulls out his camera, he can take a picture of the [[Bird with outstretched wings]].
Link can then return to Snowfield Stable and show the picture to Varke. The picture is exactly what he wanted to see. He asks Link if it's okay if he paints a copy of it. Varke will then paint a reproduction of the picture on the canvas in the stable.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Could it be?! You have a picture of the giant bird with its wings spread wide in the mountains?! Can I see it? Aha! This is exactly the picture I asked for! This would really liven up the look around here. Is it OK if I paint a copy? Thank you! Quite a sight, isn't it? The land really does look like a giant bird with its wings outstretched. It's hard not to marvel at the artistry of nature in the face of such majesty. Now, just give me a moment to whip up a reproduction. Haha, don't worry! I'm quite good at this, I promise.|'''Varke'''}} As a sign of thanks, Varke will reward Link with a [[Pony Point]].{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|I knew it! It's perfect for this stable! And it's all thanks to you, Link. How spectacular! You could search the world and never find a more perfect painting for our stable. This is tremendous. Thank you! But if you have a picture you prefer of the giant bird, its wings outstretched under a clear Hebra sky... I'll happily paint a copy and hang it here. So if you ever want to change what's in the frame, simply bring me a new picture. It'll get as warm a welcome as any guest! To show my appreciation, I'm giving you one Pony Point.|'''Varke'''}} He will also give Link some [[Spicy Meat Stew]], a stable specialty at the Snowfield Stable.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Oh yes, and please take this too! This dish is a stable specialty.|'''Varke'''}}{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Thank you for a truly splended picture. Please, feel free to use the stable whenever you want.|'''Varke'''}}
===The Beast and the Princess===
{{main|The Beast and the Princess}}
On the pillar in the center of the stable, Link can examine the papers on the wall with footprints. Varke mentions that these are sketches of a rumored beast. The rumors are that Princess Zelda was seen with this creature and that the beast is able to devour solid rock. While he thinks its a dubious tale, he mentions that the farther south you travel, the more rumors you hear about the beast. He encourages Link to ask at some of the stables to the south. In particular, if Link speaks to [[Penn]] at [[New Serenne Stable]], it will begin [[The Beast and the Princess]] quest.{{ref|''Tears of the Kingdom''|Oh! Looks like those pictures caught your eye! Between you and me...those are sketches of the footprints of that rumored beast! Or so they say, at least. This beast is all anyone at the Stable Association can talk about lately. I have doubts about any of this, but... I've heard rumors that Princess Zelda was seen with this creature. It's a strange beast too—one that devours solid rock. When these sorts of stories spread, they do tend to get embellished, I suppose. It's already such a dubious tale, I'm trying not to spread it too much more myself. With this particular exception. Curiously...the farther to the south you go, the more rumors about the beast you'll hear. Who knows, maybe if ask around at stables down south, you might get closer to the truth.|'''Varke'''}}
