After obtaining the spark orb, Wave looked over what the next piece they
needed to obtain in order to make the daggers of swift lightning. Hilt of momentum
is what was displayed in the book Weapons of the gods. Wave’s thought wondered, as
he tried to analyze just where it was they needed to go to obtain this hilt. (What sort
of power could these daggers unleash.)
Willow looked over was shoulders, as she read the words to everyone. “Far north of
the oasis, lies a cavern of great challenge, it is unknown if anyone has the kind of
power needed to overcome this challenge.” Sky snaps his fingers and calmly ways
in on the matter. “Well we passed the first task, how much harder do you think it could
be?” Sky then whispers to Aurora. “I feel as though nothing can be harder then having
Willow as our party leader.” Aurora chuckles with a tone that seems to indicate that
she is in agreement with Sky’s statement.
Violet is looking at the hilt on her sword, before letting the party hear what she was
thinking about. “Hilt huh, I wonder just how such a thing would differ from the type
of hilts we normally see.” No one knows what to say in response. Wave declares to
everyone to hear. “I think we should head back into town to restock our supplies, and
also get three times as much as we did for this trip, since we will now be traveling even
farther then last time.”
The party had forgotten, that the shadow puppies would re-spawn, and now had to deal
with the heat from Violets rain of fire. None of the other party members dare get any
closer, aside from Willow occasionally holding her hand in the fire for about five
minutes. (Why does Willow do these things.) Everyone in the party is wondering,
besides Violet who is to busy making more fire to finish off every last shadow puppy.
Once the puppies have been finished off, Aurora, and Sky use their skills to put out the
fire. Wave is watching them closely and looking at the ice shards falling. (I wonder
if I could combined one of my lightning skills, with those ice shards to make a
new party skill like everyone else seems to have.) The fire is almost out now.
The though that is crossing everyone’s mind at the moment is how would anyone
deal with the shadow puppies with out fire.
After many night the party finally arrives into the village that they had left. They
Are greeted by the son of the blacksmith. “Welcome back our prideful heroes!” This
statement made the party feel uncomfortable to an extent. Violet reaches her hands
out and places them in the young boy’s, before gently whispering into his ear.
“We appreciate the statement, but it makes us feel embarrassed when you say
such a thing to us, so in the future could you re-frame from saying such
things to us, even more so when you are saying them so loudly.”
The blacksmith’s son nods his head in understanding.
The party all goes out to get their own supplies, although Sky went with
Violet to make sure she would not buy anything fire related. Wave is now
watching a small lizard on the ground regenerating its tail. An idea suddenly
occurs to Wave. (Maybe there is a way to regenerate plant life.) Wave picks
up a herb he knows is safe to eat. Wave then takes a small bite out of it.
Using basic lightning he alters the skill so that it will only make a small
spark.

As Wave channels the spark through the herb, he can feel the cellular structure
of the herb with his minds eye. Soon he tells the cells to reproduce using the
spark to program them. Wave ends up with the results that he had intended.
Wave Droplet has created the skill Herbal regeneration

Wave was not only happy from the new skills he had gained, to his delight
his psionic energy had increased. Herbal regeneration only used 1 point
of psi, that meant that he could use the skill twelve times if it was needed.
Even though spark used his minds eye, it did not use psi, in fact this was

Wave’s skill understanding of herbal lore had also increased while he was
practicing with herbal regeneration. Wave was now resting on a bench.
Willow arrives and sits next to him. “I have found a quest that we could
do on our way to the cavern Wave, or on the way back.” Wave listen to what
Willow has to say. of course the quest is something that seems insane to
an extent. Once everyone is back together Wave brings up Willow’s quest.
The party agrees to do it, even though it seems to be tricky.
Quest
Taming a shadow puppy
Shadow puppies or such interesting creatures, with the way they can travel
between peoples shadows. I bet my children will love playing shadow tag
with one of these things. Please tame one and bring it to me, so that I can
make it our family pet.
Reward: 30 Stones of magical force for every party member
The reason this quest was so hard is because their is never a shadow puppy
by its self. So while trying to tame one you would have to deal with the dangers
of the rest of them. Everyone here knew though that the reward would be worth
the effort of the task.
It was now night of the first day of travel. Willow and Sky thoroughly searched
Through Violet’s supplies before everyone went to sleep for that night, in order
to find anything that could be used to start a fire and then put it out of her reach.
They left Shadow with her so that if anything attacked she would have some form
of defense.
It would be another night before they arrived at the shadow puppy’s location.
Aurora and Wave are looking at the night sky together. Wave conversing with
Aurora. “The night sky sure is beautiful, I mean just look at how the moon
shines upon us with its glimmering light, its almost as if the light was alive.”
Aurora looks into Wave’s eyes, and gives her opinion on that matter. “You know
many cultures believe that the moon has great power, and from what we know in
science the moon affects gravity, and every one knows how powerful gravity is, so
it may have at least some form of truth to those beliefs.” Wave could not agree more
with what Aurora was saying at that moment, and it felt like it reminded him of
something, although with out any memories he could not be sure of what it was.
Sky, Willow, and Violet are staring in the direction of the mountains they would

be going back to. “So how did you two feel about the fight we had with that bird
to obtain the spark orb?” Sky inquired. Violet was the first to answer him. “Well
even though it was relatively difficult, I felt it was a fun boss fight.” Looking
at both of them with a serene smile on her face Willow tells them. “I feel the
Same way as Violet, and hope we can have even more interesting boss fights
in our future.” Sky, and Violet think about her words before everyone heads of
in their own direction to go to sleep.
Wave and Violet are the first to wake up and are talking to one another about
the task of taming the shadow puppy. “How do you think we should go about
this Violet?” Wave ask her in hopes that she can figure something out. “Well
I am not entirely certain, however I have a skill that may be of use.” Wave
is waiting for Violet to tell him what that skill is, but is not patient enough
an has to ask. “What type of skill is it, and is it unrelated to your fire skills?”
Violet answers Wave with a small laugh before continuing. “It is not related
to my fire skills, in fact my fire skills would cause to much problems if I
used it with this skill, and this skill as one of the tool skills from the tutorial.”
Wave thinks about it but does not know what tool skill Violet could mean.
Violet takes out a piece of wooden fence from her backpack. “Oh, I see
now!” Wave gives a thumbs up in understanding as his words indicate that
he knows how this might be useful.
The rest of the party soon awakens and they all head out to wear the shadow
puppies are located. At first no one can figure out how they are going to isolate
a single shadow puppy, but soon grasp something they had not noticed before
about them. The shadow puppies can only travel in locations with shadows.
So that would mean there was a way to fight them without fire.
One of the puppies had followed Violet to a location were the sun was
to bright to allow any shadow to form. Violet called Wave over to keep it
busy until she could fence it in. Aurora joined them and created tall ice pillars
around the fence so the shadow puppy could not escape if the sun became
less bright.
Wave climbed over the pillars, and got the food ready for the shadow puppies
taming. The shadow puppy was confused, normally they would fight to the
death with people but now they this one was giving it food. Soon the shadow
puppy became tamed.
When the message popped up in front of Wave to give the pet a name he
scrolled down to find what he was looking for, he clicked the option to
set it as a gift, as he knew that the man would like to name it himself once they
arrived back in the village.
The party finally made it back to the oasis. They took their time to fill up twelve
canteens of water each. None of them could be certain about how much water
would be need, more so since they did not have any idea just how far it would
be for them to reach the cavern.
The shadow puppy hide inside Wave’s shadow, at first Wave was worried about
what would happen when the sun was to bright fir his shadow to form. He soon
learned that the puppy must be in a world linked to his shadow, because after the
shadow dissipated, and then appeared some time later, the puppy came out as
though nothing had happened.
Aurora was looking into the water and thinking. (After we give the shadow puppy
to that man I will finally be able to get standard ice.) Willow suddenly pushed Aurora
into the water. After getting out from the water Aurora looks at Willow with anger
And then shouts. “What did you do that for!?” Aurora then trips Willow so that she
will also fall into the water. Once Willow gets out of the water Aurora points to
Violet, and with a commanding tone says. “Violet dry Willow and I with your fire
skill.” Violet complies immediately. Both Sky and Wave back away from where the
fire is about to start. Willow and Aurora are far enough away so that only their clothing
will dry and not catch fire.
Aurora and Sky put out the fire before the party starts their way north. Aurora
Is singing a song as they travel. *Let the wind dance on my shoulders, as my friends
lead the way. Embrace their kindness like a sappy play. Follow me while I dance in
the suns rays.* Wave does not know what to think, she does not sound like a professional,
but she is not that bad of a singer. The other two girls start singing in unison. *Let our
friendship deepen, and never throw it away. Open your hearts to the moon rays*
They continue like this Aurora singing the main course while the other two sing
the harmony. Wave wonders to himself. (I guess this must be an actual song from
a professional singer.) It does sound very familiar, but of course Wave has no point of
reference.
It took them nine whole days before they reached the cavern. They did not have anymore
incidents with Violet, although they came close two nights ago, when she had sneaked into
Sky tent and tried to steal back one of her weapons. Lucky for everyone that Sky had a
Nightmare that night and awoke just as she was reaching for the weapon.
After entering the cavern they looked at a large piece of text on the wall just ahead of them.
It read. Those with wisdom will turn back and those with courage will walk forward. Those
with both these traits will find the way. It seemed like it was a riddle, or more likely some
kind of puzzle. In front of them there are five paths, each one had a glowing circle at the end,
and each of them seemed to be a different color.
“What could it mean?” Sky ask directing his question to the party. Wave sighs before
Answering him. “I am almost certain it is some kind of puzzle. Everyone seems to nod
in agreement with Wave’s statement. Willow then ask. “Since there are five locations,
should we each go to one and see what happens?”
Violet is the one who answers her question. “I think that would be a
marvelous idea.” Aurora then boldly ask. “Then who should shadow go with?” Everyone
thinks about it then looks at Sky. “What with me?” Sky asks. Wave tells Sky the reason
they have decided it would be him. “Listen Sky everyone else here has had a chance to
be with Shadow aside from you, who knows maybe it will benefit the party later on.”
Sky seems to get what they are saying at gives his approval.
The party all calls out to one another so that they all step on the circles at the same time.
A light surrounds each of them, and soon they are changed into glittering stars before
each of them reappear in a different location then where they had been before.
Wave looks at a stone tablet directly above and in front of him, which reads. Do you
have courage or wisdom. Just below the tablet is another circle like the one he came from.
Wave looks behind himself and sees the same thing. (Courage or wisdom huh.) Wave thinks
to himself. Wave takes the path in front of him, and is teleported to another similar room.
This time he heads to the path behind himself. This brings him to a slightly different room.
This one has treasure to the sides, and still the same type of circles ahead and behind him.
Wave opens on of the treasure chest on gets a golden feather, there is not much to its
description. The feather seems to be meant to either sell or make some use with
accessories. Wave opens the other one it is a long rope, which is meant to make a whip.
Wave puts both items in his backpack.
By now everyone had figured out how to navigate the portals. Each color of the portals
they went through had a different meaning. Wave had went through the green portal
which meant all clear, on the other hand Sky went through the red portal, and was now
fighting different type of monsters every time he entered a portal. “I guess it is a really
good thing you are here with me huh Shadow?” Shadow barks in agreement with Sky’s
statement. By now Sky and Shadow of gotten a good rhythm with each other while fighting,
and can now do attacks in conjunction with one another.
Sky and Shadow’s team work is flawless and they have gained the pet skill Art of the wolves
Now their combination of attacks would do more damage because of the skill.
Aurora had chosen the purple portal and ended up getting a ton of energy restoring potions.
Each one was for a different type of energy. Willow had chosen the yellow path and to her
pleasure it was a path with lots of traps, she set each and everyone of them off, and avoided
damage by the skin of her teeth. Violet had chosen the blue path and was now in possession
of over two hundred healing items.
Everyone arrived in the next room at the same time. A path back but as far as they could tell
no path forward. They each walked down the steps in front of them, and when they reached
the bottom, a door started to rise from the floor behind them, which closed off their way back
Suddenly a portal appeared on the center of each door. All of the portals where green, meaning
there was no danger to them. The next thing that happens is a portal briefly appears in the sky
before something falls out from it and then it disappears.
What had fallen from the portal was a giant, rat, its color was the same color as a rat that
someone would keep as a pet. “Aw! It’s so cute, I have to have one!” Willow announces
for everyone in the party to hear. The rat starts to move swiftly, just while the party realizes
that their is a sixth door with a portal on it.
It is so fast that it catches the party off guard and they are all knocked to the ground. The
rat heads straight to the door behind them. It reappears in seconds at one of the other doors.
“Oh no! This is not good!” Violet screams. Not only is the rat fast it can instantaneously
go from one location to the next using those portals. “What should we do?” Willow ask.
Everyone is now using their guard skills, it would be to dangerous other wise. The party
manages to avoid the next charge. They cannot decided if it is better to spread out or stay
close together, so they go mid way and divide into to groups of three. Shadow, Sky, and
Violet in one group. In another group is Wave, Aurora, and Willow.
Wave looks at Aurora, as he remembers that he wanted to try and make a party skill
with her. “Aurora, launch as many ice shards into the air as you can.” Wave gives the
order to Aurora. She does not know what wave is thinking, but complies to his task.
When there is about nine of them in the air Wave quickly uses standard lightning
in quick repetition, aiming for the very center of each shard. The shards shatter
and fall like rain. The shards are creating an ice surface on the ground.
Wave Droplet and Aurora Rose-song have created the party skill Frozen lightning rain
They notice that the ice surface has slowed the rat down when ever it is on it.
The party now had a plan. Wave and Aurora used Frozen lightning rain on
three of the six portals, so that there was a fifty percent chance of it landing on
one of the ice patches. Violet struck it with a small fire to direct it into one of the
Portals. The first time it was on the ice Willow attacked it with her standard shadow
flame. the next time it was Wave who used a basic lightning kick.
By now the rat was getting annoyed and changed its tactics. Everyone thought
it was repeating its same behavior, but to their shock it stopped mid way on the
ice and lashed out with its tail making those in front of it fall to the ground. It charged
towards the other group, and knocked them down as well. Why did the party not
realize sooner about its tail, they could have come up with a counter measure.
It most have been because they had to focus at was happening at the moment.
“Guys, I just realized, its not just the tail we have to worry about either!” Wave
shouted but it was already to late what he had wanted to warn them about was
happening right in front of their eyes.
The rat used its hands to pick up and toss Violet she hit the wall really hard.
At the same time it grabbed Willow with its tail, however Willow bite down
and it loosened its grip on her. Violet was almost out of health. Violet quickly
reached into her backpack and took out one of the many healing items she
had obtained and drank it. “Please everyone protect me until I can fully
recover.” Violet requested. Wave went to Violet and lifted her into his arms
and started to levitate.
Willow and Aurora created black steam to strike the rat, this was of course
away from any of the ice surfaces. Shadow and Sky attack with their new
pet skill, when the rat goes through a portal to another ice patch.
Once Violet had recovered, the rat was in a direct line up with all the
party members and Shadow. Wave takes out the knife he got from Willow,
and gets ready to use tooth launcher. Shadow and Sky get in front of Willow,
and as the tooth comes flying they use their new pet skill. Their are now for
teeth heading towards the rat. Before the teeth hit both Aurora and Violet use
ice and fire on the teeth and their attacks create a steam.
Party Skill created Art of the wolves steaming tooth cannon
This attack is just what they needed to finish off the giant rat.
Your party has defeated The pet rat of the gods and has obtained
one fruit of understanding each.
Fruit of understanding description: A fruit which when eaten
allows one to grasp hidden knowledge within. Increases all
known skills understanding by 1
After beating the pet rat of the gods all the doors opened, including
the one that none of the party came through. They headed up the stairs.
What they found was another portal, but this one was a silver color.
Stepping onto the portal the party is teleported to a large room with a pedestal.
What lay upon the pedestal was of course the hilt of momentum. Wave picked
up the floating hilt from the pedestal.
Gained the Hilt of momentum
Hilt of momentum description: A hilt when used to make a weapon will
make the wielder more agile and flexible. It seems there may be some
secret to this hilt.
