Chapter Three- Errands
We arrived in a forest known as Kolmia, I was very uneasy when I entered. I have never been in a forest before; I found the experience curious and a bit spooky.
I have also found out about what the story with the lighthouse. Garet told me, the elemental stars were stolen from their home town of Vale when they were investigating the Sole Sanctum. They did this with their friend Jenna and Kraden, the professor. Unfortunately Saturos and Mercredi stole the elemental stars and kidnapped Jenna and Kraden. They also found out Jenna's older brother Felix was alive, although he was supposedly killed in a terrible storm. Now they are trying to stop them lighting the lighthouses and their many adventures on their pursuit of them. I very much enjoyed the tale.
When Garet had finished telling me the story we were there, it was a huge clearing and there stood two huge trees with faces. Isaac walked over to the bigger tree on the right. "Tret I brought you the water of Hermes" he said. He poured the water down Tret's mouth. Tret suddenly became better and some kind of power burst from his leaves, he thanked us gratefully and did some sort of spell. Ivan told me Tret had accidentally turned the people of Kolmia (a small village near the forest) in to trees.
After this we made a quick stop in Bilbin then traveled on across Kolmia Bridge. We spent the night at a temple.
Isaac and the rest of the group must pass a test to be able to receive the power of Force which is needed to pass through another forest. I am worried about the test, What if we fail. I will try and sleep.
I was reluctant this morning to go into the cave but we had to, I had to try to be brave. I felt like it was impossible, I hate dark small spaces.
The cave was not as bad as I thought it would be there were light torches and it seemed very spacious. I was a little less afraid but I still wanted to run out.
We couldn't run out until we finished the task, we didn't have to but we knew Isaac was determined. When we finally finished the puzzle it was late so we decided to give the item to the leader in the morning, I am so tired.
I never want to go in a cave again. The leader was pleased that we completed the task and told us to keep the item which we had found. The item was the Orb of Force; it gave a new power to whoever held it.
With this power we headed it to the forest. The forest is not like Kolmia, it is bigger and easier to get lost. It is also is very dark and at night it is scary.
We have also found footprints, which Isaac incites we follow; I don't want to find out what made them.
We found the creature who made them, it is an animal I have never seen before, all I know is it attacked us without mercy. The battle was very hard and when we finally defeated the creature we were all exhausted and weak.
We arrived in Xian the following morning, exhausted and badly bruised. I was so relived to slide into the bed in the Inn. I fell asleep in an instant. I am still getting used to life on the road.
Chapter Four may not come out for a while because I may not have a chance to write because I am going away. Sorry about that, if I get a chance I will write chapter four.
