-Getting up-

----------------------------------------

You've had enough of her games. All this small talk is getting on your nerves. You've got better things to do than talk to this fairy here and kill time. Like saving the whole country. You get up from your chair, and the expression on the other person's face changes instantly. She squints her eyes and lips and screams angrily. Before you can say anything back, the woman transforms. First, her teeth grow huge, her skin turns greenish, and her spine bends until she is on all fours. Then her fingers and toes turn into huge claws and a lashing tail grows in place of wings. Then you are confronted by a roaring dragon. Before you can even open the door, the transformed creature is already standing in front of it, covering it completely. You can no longer escape through it. You are overcome by pure panic, but an idea pops into your head. In a flash, you search the walls for the star you discovered earlier and press it. You almost fear that your idea was just nonsense, but suddenly the wall swings aside and you recognize a secret passage. You quickly step inside and the door closes again behind you. You can hear the angry roar of the dragon in front of the wall and its paws repeatedly thundering against the secret door. But it doesn't give way. You are safe.

Slowly, you feel your way through the darkness and it takes almost half an hour before you can feel a bump on the wall. You examine it carefully and feel a cold object in your hand that feels like a bottle. After a quick smell test, you realize that it is a growth potion.

Only a few minutes later, you finally re-enter the sick woman's room and immediately move away from her. You haven't cured her yet, so she is still contagious. The woman is startled, but when she sees who has dared to come to her bedside, she calms down again. "Have you got the fruit?"

"In a moment", you whisper and carefully drip the growing potion onto the soil in which your plant is stuck. You can watch the buds open like a time-lapse and develop the prettiest colors before they turn brown and fall from their stem to the ground. Then a fruit begins to form and you quickly pick it. You proudly hold it out to the woman, but she shakes her head slightly.

"Put it on the ground near me and then step back." You do as she asks.

The woman rises from her bed. She is wearing a white dress that billows around her slender and emaciated body. She picks up the fruit and staggers back into her sheets, where she eats it. Slowly the color returns to her face and the sick woman smiles. Then she bends down under her bed and pulls out two shiny stones. They resemble large shards, but they shine with all their remaining strength. "I know your destination, child of the moon. Here, take these two moon stars as thanks for your help." She places them on the floor and then lies back on the mattress. "Good luck," she whispers.

Add 2 moon stars to your inventory.
