Entry Three
We continued our journey northwards today. Until we came to a sign that read
"Port Tipa" and another, just under it, saying "River Belle Path" But on the bottom sign, the words, "BEWARE MONSTERS" were scribbled hastily in red. Abadae concluded that we should take the River Belle route, to Tristan and Yusha's dismay. It made sense, though. Monsters tended to lurk around Myrrh Trees for some odd reason…
Hm…it seems the Clavats have been convinced to take the river path. Tristan volunteered himself to drive the wagon, though. Could the farm boy be…scared? Ha. We're heading in now, I should get my gear together.
Abadae was right, there was a Myrrh Tree at the end of the river! Se Kan rushed to it, but the Giant Crab leapt out of the waterfall at the head of the river! It was one of the biggest creatures I had ever seen. It's sheck was littered with the weapons of fallen caravaners.
Se Kan jumped on top of it and kept it busy while Abadae prepared a spell. I rushed in after he cast Thundara, hoping to use the smoke as a cover. But I had no such luck. The crab swung at me with it's huge claw, sending me flying into the stones. I don't remember much after that…
We ended up winning the fight, and collecting our first drop of Myrrh from the tree. Kenach had gotten banged up pretty badly, but I healed him with the Cure Magicite that I brought from home. Good thing Mom taught me healing spells for the animals on the ranch! He'll still be sore for a couple of days, though. I'm not that skilled yet…
We headed up the path to next to the waterfall, and got back onto the main road.
I'm glad we went to the River now. I need to be more brave from now on. We won't find any myrrh if we're cowardly!
