Hints / notes:
The answer is an item
The answer is not:
a character
an enemy
a living creature
a location
All mentioned colours, except for the "red" in the second line, are literal
"bring" in the last line is in the meaning "give to" rather than "transport to"
The two first lines refer to characters
The answer is related to a subquest
