Took quite a while, but here's the next chapter!
Enjoy! ;)
Chapter 3: Set Sail!
"Link… Link… Wake up, Link!" an unfamiliar voice spoke.
"Uhhh…" Link moaned weakly, opening up his eyes… only to shut them back.
"Pull yourself together, Link!"
"Mmm… Huh?" this time, Link was able to fully open his eyes, finding himself lying down on a boat slowly swaying to both sides since it was floating on the water. "Mmm… What am I doing on a boat…?" he wondered as he got up. "…And where is everybody else?"
"Well? Have you come to your senses yet?" the voice asked, catching Link by surprise.
"What the-?! Who's speaking to me?!" Link asked, looking around to search for the source of the voice.
Then, the boat's head swung around to face Link, and much to his shock, it was talking!
"You are surprisingly dull witted…"
"AAH!" Link yelped, causing his to lose his balance and fall on his back. The boat guffawed at his reaction.
"Did I startle you?" it asked.
"Very much…" Link groaned. "But seriously, HOW are you talking?!"
"I suppose that is only natural. As wide as the world is, I am the only boat upon it who can speak the words of men. I am the King of Red Lions. Do not fear… I am not your enemy."
"Well that's a relief…" Link thought as he sat up.
"Link… I have been watching you since you went to the Forsaken Fortress to rescue your sister. Same goes to the other people who were accompanying you. I understand how your desire to protect your sister could give you the courage to fearlessly stand up to anything… But such a bold attempt, even with a group of people, was foolhardy!"
"What do you mean?" Link asked. "Also, where are the others?"
"I'll tell you about them later. Firstly, I suppose you all saw him… The shadow that commands that monstrous bird…" Link was able to picture back that man he and the others saw previously, the one that gave him the chills. "His name is…Ganondorf…"
That name really did send a shiver down Link's spine, as this really said something to him; even if he had never heard it before, it yet still gave him a feeling of unavoidable dread.
"…He who obtained the power of the gods, attempted to cover the land in darkness, and was ultimately sealed away by the very power he hoped to command." the King of Red Lions said. "He is the very same Ganondorf… The emperor of the dark realm the ancient legends speak of… I do not know why the seal of the gods has failed, but now that Ganondorf has returned, the world is once again being threatened by his evil magic."
"That's some story… It sounds similar to the stories about the ancient hero my grandfather told me…" Link thought deeply, until the King of Red Lions' next questions snapped him back to reality:
"Tell me, Link… Do you still wish to save your sister from him?" Link immediately nodded. "And will you do anything to save her?" another nod. "…I see. In that case, I shall guide you and your new friends as we go forward…advising you on what you should do and where you must go."
"What?! Why are you ordering me to do things like that?!" Link questioned. "All I want is to go back to the fortress and save my sister!"
"I know that, but Ganondorf is the one in charge of the fortress. And Ganondorf cannot be defeated by human hands, let alone by what little strength you and the others possess. The key to defeating Ganondorf is locked away in a great power that you can wield only after much toil and hardship. Do you understand?"
"*sigh* alright, I'll do it." Link sighed before nodding.
"In that case, we depart! To the Great Sea! [beat] …Ah, but I am getting ahead of myself." the King of Red Lions looks down in embarrassment. "This is actually a bit embarrassing for me to admit, but…although I am indeed a boat that possesses the power of speech… I possess no sail. And a boat with no sail can sail no seas."
"Oh, that's just great…" Link sweatdropped.
"Not to worry, young lad. You asked me about the others that were with you, correct?" Link nodded at that. "Well, they all happen to be in this place we're standing."
The place they were just now? Windfall Island, a lively town with mostly shops, but there was also a lighthouse with a windmill, a school, a cafe bar, an auction house, and a jail. The huge gate at the town's entrance is known to be one of this island's most famous features. Windfall is also the most populated island of the Great Sea, as people from all over the world come to it, including many sailors.
"I have brought you all far to the east of the dark gaze of the Forsaken Fortress. On this island is a town of merchants who deal in a wide variety of goods. If you search hard enough, surely you can find one who will sell you a sail. I am sorry to ask this of you, but without a sail, I will be useless to you."
"Okay, I can handle this." Link said as he hops out of the King.
"But remember: there is no time to play. Come back here immediately as soon as your errands are done. And remember to bring your friends here as well."
"Got it. So where exactly are they?"
"They should be waiting for you near the shore. Now go."
Link nodded back and moved on, going up on the island's shore, where he saw the Mario cast chatting with Luka next to some stone fences up ahead. Because of the hot sun shining on everybody else's faces, Peach was holding out her white and pink umbrella to shield her smooth skin from the sun.
"…and as for what happened to the kingdom, I cannot reveal it yet to you because… spoilers!" Luka spoke during their conversation.
"Seriously, it has to be somewhere around here!" Toad exclaimed. "Even if it's in the middle of the ocean!"
"Oh, but we'll see it much later on-…" Luka was about to continue when she turned her head and saw Link standing a few feet away from them. "Hey, look! Link is awake!"
"Oh, yay!" Yoshi cheered as they all ran up to Link.
"Hey, guys!" Link waved.
"Hi, Link!" Peach replied. "Are you well?"
"I'm fine, thanks. Have you guys met with the King of Red Lions too?"
"We have." Mario nodded. "That's because we woke up before you did."
"So we waited for you to wake up by hanging around this island, which Luka told us it's called Windfall Island, for a bit." Luigi added.
"Huh, that should help me out!" Link exclaimed. "You see, the King requested me to look for a sail."
"A sail, huh?" Toad said. "We just so happened to see a stall further up ahead that has exactly what you're looking for!" he pointed to the entrance.
"Really?! Thank you! You guys are the best!"
"Well, that's what friends are for!" Peach giggled, as Link chuckled cutely in response. "Wow… He's so much cuter-looking than the other Link we've met…" she thought.
"Alright! Let's get going, shall we?" Luka winked.
Everyone else nodded in agreement, as they made their way into the town, going up some stairs until they reached the stall, where a man wearing a blue parka-like coat was running it.
"Excuse me, sir. Could you-…"
"My story is a strange one… I came across cursed seas from a land far away…a land where the blizzards blow violently…heading for this town called Windfall." the man spoke melancholically.
"Yeah, yeah, now could you-"
"Dear me, my ship was torn apart by vicious winds, and this island is where I washed ashore. There was one other person with me, yes there was…"
"Okay then, but-"
"But, I dare say, he was immediately arrested based on his somewhat suspicious looks and thrown right into jail. Yes, just locked up somewhere on this island. Needless to say, I'm really worried about him. Would you be so kind as to help free him from captivity? Indeed, it would be appreciated."
Link was a bit annoyed for being interrupted three times, but he decided to go along with what the man said. "Alright, fine. But let's make it a deal. We'll free that other person, and you'll give us a sail in return, okay?"
"It's a deal, young lads. And thank you."
The heroes then walked away, where Luka began to speak:
"Link, how about you go free the person by yourself? The town's jail is right over there." she pointed to the location.
"Okay… but why only me?" Link asked.
"I and Mario and his gang will stay around here to do… some other important things!"
"If you say so…" Link shrugged. "I guess I'll see you later." he went off.
"Um, what are we going to do here, Luka?" Luigi asked.
"Well, are you guys good at hide-and-seek and tag?" Luka replied.
"We are a little bit, but why are you asking us that?"
"Because… there's a little group of kids that are going to do these two games at once. Follow me!"
The Mario cast just shrugged at each other, before following Luka.
With Link…
He eventually made it into the jail, where he spotted a short man wearing some sort of green jumpsuit sitting at the corner saddened. That is, until he noticed Link outside and immediately rushed closer to him with glee.
"Hmmmmmm! I see the same green clothes and the same green hat! By the look of you, I'd say… Sir! Could you, by chance, be…a fairy?" he spoke.
"…Excuse me?" Link blinked in confusion.
"Goodness! Did you feel my telepathy?! That's why you saved me, isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?"
"Uh…"
"Do not worry! Tingle knows without you telling him, sir! Yes, sir! Tingle is my name! I have been looking for you and your kind, for I, too, long to be one of the fairy folk! And yet, I was mistaken for some kind of troublemaker and put into this dreadful sort of place! How disrespectful!"
"Huh, so he really is that vendor's friend, after all…" Link thought. "But the things he's saying are not making any sense!"
"Please, Mr. Fairy… Rescue poor Tingle from this place, and take him to where you and your kind live in splendor!"
"Um, alright…" Link replied and looked around the room. He then found a switch on the floor hidden behind some pots and stepped on it. Eventually, the cell's door creaked open, allowing Tingle to walk out.
"Hoorayyyy! Thank you oh so VERRRY much!" Tingle cheered.
"You're welcome…" Link replied while sweatdropping.
"Splendid! Tingle is returning now to his own special island. Will you come find him?"
"He even has an island?!" Link thought as Tingle started to walk out, but then he stopped and looked back at Link.
"Ahhh! I was forgetting something important! Oh, Mr. Fairy! You want to come to my island, don't you? Don't you? Don't you? So here's my chart leading to it!" Tingle hands link the Tingle Chart. "And remember, if you ever need any help with your charts, just leave it to Tingle! Don't ever forget it!" he then walked out.
"Oh good, I was wondering when that guy would just shut up…" Link thought. "Still, if he said that he could help me with charts, maybe I should trust him." he was about to leave, until he looked back at the cell. "Hmm, I wonder if there's anything in there? Just to make sure…"
Back with the others…
"Well that was… something." Mario spoke. "We played hide-and-seek with those Killer Bees just to hand their teacher some Joy Pendants?"
"Hey, at least we got this from her!" Luka winked as she was holding the Cabana Deed. "I'll let you know; this thing will be very useful to all of us later on!"
"If you say so…"
"So, now what?" Yoshi asked. "Should we head back to Zunari's stall?"
"Yep, let's do that!" Luka replied. "By this point, Link should have already freed Tingle."
They then walked back to the stall and told the vendor, named Zunari, about the person.
"Ahh, yes! I just saw him walk out of jail a few seconds ago!" Zunari exclaimed. "I give props to you all and the other boy for attending my request! Now, as part of the deal…" he went back to get the sail.
"Oh! The sail!" Toad exclaimed.
"Indeed! You see, the people on this island have no interest in venturing out into these dangerous seas, so my chance of selling this to them is rather bleak. The bleakest I can describe. I'd really like to ask 200 Rupees for it, but as a favor for rescuing my friend, perhaps we may strike a deal… How does…80 Rupees sound?"
"We'll buy it." Luka responded, handing Zunari 80 Rupees. Good thing they collected a lot of money while in the fortress.
"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you very much, indeed! Very well, young masters… As I promised, please! Take this!" he hands them the Boat Sail. At last, they can now venture into the Great Sea! "Yes, yes, yes! You have made a good purchase today! And you have saved my life and business as well! Treasure it dearly! It is the finest sail in the world! Treat it as such!"
The gang thanked Zunari before leaving, reaching the location where the King of Red Lions were.
"Oh! Those looks in your eyes… So, you've found yourselves a sail, have you?" he asked.
"We have." Peach nodded, putting away her umbrella since they were under some shade.
"Very well! But… Where is Link?"
"Oh, um… About that-…"
"…aaaaaAAAAAHH!" Toad was cut off when Link's scream suddenly came from above them, and our hero eventually lands in the water.
*SPLASH!*
Link quickly resurfaces, spitting out salty water as the Mario cast looked at him in shock while Luka just shook her head playfully.
"*cough* *cough* Stupid rat…" Link muttered.
"Well, that's one way to make an entrance…" Yoshi remarked.
"…Link?! Where did you come from? What just happened?" Peach asked.
"A rat just made me fall into a trapdoor under me…" Link grumbled, shaking off the water.
"…Okay?" Toad blinked.
"Anyways…" the King of Red Lions interfered, trying to change the subject. "Now! A westerly wind blows! Hop in, you all, and let it carry us to the east!"
"Oh, boy! Let's go!" Luka beamed excitedly, as everyone climbed aboard.
Link stood in the very middle of the boat, as he was going to be the one to steer it. Mario, Peach, and Luigi, in this exact order, sat on the right side in a vertical row, going from up to down, with Toad, Yoshi, and Luka mirroring them on the left side.
With that, Link attached the sail, and the boat began to head into the open sea.
The Great Sea was very wide. So wide that it seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see. The heroes felt the breeze of the eastern winds blow right into their faces. It gave them a nice feeling of freedom, as they could just let the winds carry them away. Periodically, they could hear the cries of seagulls flying nearby, as they were able to keep up with the boat's speed as if it was no hard work. This really was a nice experience for all of them, as they never actually sailed the seas by themselves.
"Isn't this just fun, guys?" Luka smiled.
"It really is." Peach replied with a smile. "I never thought that the wind blowing in my face would feel so good!"
"I'll say!" Toad threw in. "As being an adventurer myself, I never actually experienced this before! This is so amazing!" he exclaimed as he turned around to glance down at the clear blue sea waves.
"Oh, look! Seagulls!" Yoshi chirped as he looked up to the flying seagulls.
"I just know Aryll would love this…" Link thought as he also watched the seagulls before they flew away.
"I am so glad you all are enjoying this!" Luka chimed. "Because the sailing is my favorite part of the game!"
"And I am happy for you to be experiencing that in reality, Luka." Mario smiled as Luka giggled back.
After a little while, the King of Red Lions could see they were nearing their destination:
"There! On the horizon!"
"Is that our destination?" Luigi asked.
"Indeed, it is… Dragon Roost Island!"
"Oh ho ho, yes! I love the music in this place so much!" Luka thought as the boat came upon shore, where they hopped out of it.
Dragon Roost Island can be seen from a great distance, as it primarily consists of a huge mountain crossed with a volcano. The bottom portion had a lot of Bomb Flowers and rocks on the path up by foot that could only be removed with the use of those flowers. Near the peak of the mountain, there was a swirl of dark grey clouds, giving our heroes an unnerving feeling; they're pretty sure those clouds feel a bit out of place there. What they don't know yet, due to the dark grey clouds blocking it, is that at the very peak sat a large red dragon. Well… at least until the King of Red Lions told them about that:
"High atop this island's peak lives the spirit of the skies…a great dragon by the name of Valoo. You all must go see this dragon and request from him a jewel called Din's Pearl and a red Star Piece. Ask the people of the Rito tribe who inhabit this island about how to see the dragon."
"Got it." Link nodded along with the others as they began to walk away, until the King of Red Lions stopped them:
"Oh, I almost forgot! Wait just a moment!" the heroes looked back at him, and they saw that he somehow now has some sort of white stick on his mouth. "This is the Wind Waker! It is a baton of sorts that was used long ago when the people played music in prayer to the gods. In those days, simply using it allowed one to borrow the power of the gods. I thought it might be of some use to you. Perhaps you should try using it, Link."
"Alright." Link took the Wind Waker from him. Then, it began to emit white sparkles from its tip, surprising everyone. "Hey, what's it doing?!"
"I suppose the baton has chosen you to be the new conductor." the King of Red Lions said. "Use it wisely, Link! Let the gods lend you their power to the melodies you'll learn and play!"
"And speaking of which…" Luka interjected. "You can learn a new melody right now, Link! Come with me!"
"Seriously?" Link's eyes perked up.
"In the meantime…" Luka looked at the Mario cast. "You guys clear up the path leading up to all of us! See those rocks?" she pointed to the rocks on the way up. "They can only be cleared up with bombs, so that's why there's plenty of Bomb Flowers around for you to use!" she then left with Link off to the right side of the island.
"Yep, Luka really does know what she's doing." Mario remarked, breaking the stunned silence from them.
"Well, anyway…" Toad said. "Let's do what she told us to do and clear up the path!"
Unknown to them, the King of Red Lions had listened to the entire conversation, and could tell that from what he gathered, Luka was the only one who's fully aware of what to do.
"That girl sure knows a lot about this world… Could she already know about my secret and what became of my kingdom…?" he thought. "Well, if she knows that too, I hope she keeps it a secret to everybody…"
"Here we are!" Luka smiled as she brought Link to the Wind Shrine. "See those arrows on this stone? You need to wave your Wind Waker like a conductor's baton in those directions!"
"Um, okay." Link nodded, pulling out the Wind Waker and waving it up, left, and right. Strange noises of music echoed from the baton as Link learned his first Wind Waker melody, the Wind's Requiem, and then gusts of southern winds suddenly blew into their faces.
Wait… did the direction of the wind just change?
"Yep! That's a miiiiiighty nice breeze!"
"Whoa!" Link jumped when he heard this unfamiliar voice as he and Luka turned to the left to see a large cyan frog-like creature sitting on a cloud. "W-Who are you?!"
"The name's Zephos. I'm the god of winds." Zephos replied casually. "So, you're the new Wind Waker, are you?"
"Well… I am wielding it." Link shrugged.
"Great, great. For a beginner, you've got a nice wind sense about you. I like you, kid!"
"You're welcome…?"
"That tune you just picked up? Well, it gives you control over the direction the wind blows. Depending on how it's used, wind can be a good thing…or a very bad thing. You want an example of it being a bad thing, then you should see my brother."
"Oh yeah, those cyclones…" Luka thought.
"It saddens me to say that my brother, Cyclos, is miffed about his monument here being broken, and now he spends his time creating cyclones to torment people with. So if you encounter any cyclones at sea, chastise my brother for me, will you? And THAT…is my request for you!" Zephos then soars away into the distance while laughing.
"That was… something." Link blinked.
"There will be a lot of things later on that you'll find weird, believe me." Luka said. "But hey, aren't you amazed that you now have the ability to control the direction of the wind?"
"Pretty much. I wonder if this baton can do more than just that?" Link pondered, looking at the Wind Waker in awe before putting it away. "Anyways, maybe we should go back to the others if that was the only thing you wanted to show me."
"Yep, let's go back." Luka nodded as she and Link left. When they met up with the Mario cast, they saw that the path leading up was cleared out of boulders.
"Hey, you're back!" Yoshi exclaimed. "We just finished up clearing the path like you told us to do, Luka."
"Perfect!" Luka chimed. "Now we can start climbing!"
The heroes then began to climb up the path leading to where the Rito live. But the Mario cast still hasn't let go of their priority to find the lost kingdom of Hyrule in this world. Perhaps the pearl and the star piece they have to obtain would give then clues about it?
Anyhow, they eventually came upon the postman Rito, named Quill, looking out at the sea. He then heard footsteps from behind him as he turned around to see Link and some other people with him.
"Link? Link, is that you? Oh, it is! I'm pleased to see you're OK."
"Wait, you're that postman from earlier, aren't you?" Link guessed.
"I am. Call me Quill." Quill replied. "I must say… Not only you've got yourself new companions with you, but you've traveled quite far for one with no wings… And your sister? Is she…"
Link crestfalled. "I really don't want to talk about this…"
"He unfortunately failed to rescue her, Quill." Peach informed.
"Is that so?" Quill spoke calmly. "Well, don't worry too much, Link. I'm sure she'll hang in there." he assured. "Also, may I know who you all are?"
"Oh, sure." Peach nodded. "I'm Peach."
"Mario."
"Luigi."
"Yoshi."
"Toad."
"And Luka!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you all." Quill replied. "Say, I have an idea. Would you all like to meet our chieftain? I've told my people here about you, and all of us Rito are very concerned. I'm certain the chieftain will befriend you and lend you the aid of our aerie."
"Well, sure. Why not?" Toad shrugged.
"It's settled, then! I'll fly on ahead and let everyone know you're coming. Come inside, everyone! I'll be waiting!" Quill then sprouts out wings and flies off.
"Hold on a second… Where did those wings come from?!" Luigi questioned. "First he had arms, and then they suddenly shifted to wings?"
"The Rito tribe are humanoid bird creatures." Luka said. "I could explain about them to you all right now, but I think I'll let the chieftain do it instead."
"Okay, if you say so." Mario shrugged as they all made their way to the Mail Center.
The inside of the Center was very tall, with a spiraling road on the wall, all entirely made out of stone, with many entrances leading into rooms and others leading outside. There were many Rito flying and walking about minding their own business with their deliveries, since they were messengers. Upon entering, the heroes immediately saw the chieftain in front of them, with Quill at his side. However, it seemed that the Chieftain was in the middle of a conversation with another Rito:
"Well? Have you discovered the cause of the great Valoo's anger?" the Chieftain asked, but the Rito shook his head. The Chieftain then saw Link and the others coming in as the Rito leaves. "Ah. So, you are Link, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad and Luka, are you? Quill has told me all about you."
"So you also know about my situation?" Link asked.
"Yes. A troubling tale, indeed… I insist that you let us know if there is anything we can do to help you. We shall do everything in our power to assist you."
"I highly appreciate that, sir." Link felt thankful for them. "They sure are nice people…" he thought.
"However, in the meantime, we have a problem of our own to deal with…"
"And what is it?" Mario asked.
"When you all arrived on the island, did you notice the raging dragon perched atop the mountain?" Quill asked.
"We did." Luigi nodded.
"As you can see, we of the Rito tribe are profoundly connected to the sky. We make our livings on the airways." the Chieftain said. "We do so by the graces of the sky spirit, Valoo. When a Rito reaches adulthood, he or she journeys to the top of Dragon Roost to receive a scale from the great dragon. It is this scale that enables the Rito to grow his or her wings."
He paused for a bit before continuing, "Recently, however, the once-gentle Valoo has grown violent and unpredictable. Sadly, we can no longer approach him. If this continues, the fledglings who are of age will never be able to receive scales from Valoo on Dragon Roost. They will remain wingless, and in time, our very way of life will be threatened."
"That's horrible…" the heroes thought.
"As chieftain of the Rito, my first responsibility is to solve this problem. My apologies, but I must ask you to wait for our assistance until this is done. Will you do so?"
"Well, okay the-"
"Wait, chieftain!" Link was cut off when Quill interjected. "What do you think of consulting Link and his friends with regards to your son, Prince Komali? As you can see, they are gallant young lads! I feel certain that Prince Komali would open his heart to them and speak freely of his fears and worries."
"That may be…" the Chieftain whispered before addressing the heroes. "Let me be direct. My son, Komali, is of the age to earn his wings… Yet…he is weak, in some ways…and in light of the current situation, he may just give up on ever getting them… What say you all? Will you share some of your courage with my son? Will you meet with my son?"
"We can do that!" Toad exclaimed as they all nodded.
"I thank you! We shall do our best to solve our problem as quickly as possible, so that we may better help you with yours. I have something I wish for you to give to my son." he hands them the Father's Letter. "I am counting on you!" he walks away.
"The room way in the back on the first floor is Prince Komali's room. You have to go down a couple steps to get there. When you meet Prince Komali, please don't get offended by his manner. He has no bad intentions, I promise." Quill said before flying off.
"Well, how about we pay Komali a visit and give him the letter?" Luka winked. "Even though I found him to be a bit of a jerk at the beginning…" she thought as they made their way to Komali's room.
There, they found him sitting shyly on his bed, clutching a bright red orb and a red sharp crystalline object on his hands… Could those be Din's Pearl and the red Star Piece that the King of Red Lions told them to get?
"Huh? Who goes there?" Komali looked up, seeing the gang in front of him. "Oh, just a bunch of non-Rito people. What do you want from me, huh? I… I don't want to talk to anyone right now!" he scoffed.
The heroes didn't show it, but they got indeed a bit offended by Komali's harsh attitude.
"Um, well…" Peach spoke up, trying to act as calm as possible. "We were tasked by your father to deliver this to you." she showed him the letter.
"A letter? From my father?" Komali takes the letter and reads it. But even after reading it, he was still acting reluctant. "Oh, sure, telling me to be brave is easy enough for him… It's not like he's the one who went through that horrible experience… It's not like HE still has to go get a scale from Valoo."
"Not even the chieftain has wings?!" Link and the Mario cast thought upon hearing that shocking revelation.
"You're in this letter, too, you know… Poking your noses in other people's business… You're all nosy, aren't you? *grunt* Sorry, but I really don't feel like going to see Valoo right now." he muttered, turning away from them. "I mean, how am I supposed to get a scale from him when he's so upset?"
"We can try to calm him down, you know." Luigi offered.
"What? Are you trying to say that YOU ALL can calm Valoo down?" Komali easily dismissed them. "Psssssh! That's just a big, fat lie! It's easy to SAY you can do anything! Bragging doesn't cost a thing! I'll tell you what: if you can find me someone who can get past all the obstacles on Dragon Roost to get to Valoo… THEN I'll listen to anything you say! Now get out of my face, do-nothing people!"
"Rude!" the heroes thought as they immediately left his room.
"Alright, don't worry, guys. He'll become a much better person once we help Valoo, I can assure you." Luka assured, trying to calm everyone down.
"I sure hope so..." Toad muttered.
"Where do we go next then, Luka?" Yoshi asked.
"We'll be making our way to the first dungeon! This way!"
Luka led everyone to another exit, leading to a portion of the island where a harsh wind in contrast to the gentle breeze would blow in their faces…
To be continued…
Don't worry; Medli will be introduced in the next chapter, where we'll be off to the Dragon Roost Cavern! Please review!
