CHAPTER EIGHTY TWO
The System has the whole situation under control
~
Hawk flew quickly over the volcanic site at first
Nearly blinded by the light of lava streams that burst
Volcanic Golems towered over everything around
Making ashes of the trees and magma of the ground
She focused on the biggest of the monsters she could see
A golem that stood ten times taller than the tallest tree
If it fell, it might be mistaken for a big hill
It walked around the mountain with a monstrous, burning will

This golem began life as a volcano in its home
Until its fires at killed enough and it began to roam
It’s grown strong by absorbing energy from those it burns
And now it can set fire to towns whenever its head turns
“That’s no minor threat, I’ve never seen so big a rock
That golem’s face might even give Crystal’s husband a shock
The System really must be having some difficulties
For so many golems to slip through to here with ease”
She instantly regretted mentioning the System’s name
But to her relief no angry System Message came
She wondered if her guardian deity had advice
But the message that did appear, she had to read twice
Achievement: Good Job
You’re doing well by noting the new monsters that you see
The System surely has great plans for this world’s destiny
Keep doing your part to keep the world you love at peace
And in time this the trials that you’re facing now will cease
Hawk froze in the air once she had read the message screen
It was unlike any message she had ever seen
The gods had grown suspicious of System authority
But suddenly there was a change in her own deity
But now she had no time to worry for the gods above
The threat beneath her threatened everything she’d come to love
She wasn’t shocked to see that not far from the volcano
Were several friends she’d said good by to not so long ago
Crystal and her husband were erecting walls of dirt

And Pebble seemed to be in the middle of a growth spurt
They let him fight whatever little monsters wandered by
Levelling consistently, which caught the mage’s eye

A boy who will not stop until he’s reached his final goal
He longs to protect all his friends with all his heart and soul
He growing stronger but he still can’t leave his parents’ side
Even if his bravery fills his parents with pride
Log was doing what he could do draw some attention
A swarm of Fire Bats attacked without much hesitation
And while he was affected by the heat, he didn’t fear
Delilah tore apart whatever stronger foes came near
Hawk almost didn’t notice Belle was there among them too
Until the source of a heavy whirlwind came into view
She’d starting running round the volcano to cool the air
Cooling down the mountain while the monsters weren’t aware
She landed behind pebble as he struggled with a Bat
“Don’t get too ambitious, you won’t kill a thing like that
Wait for it to come to you and strike when it attacks
Monsters are the weakest in that moment they relax”
Pebble was surprised but did exactly what she said
And when the weak Fire Bat attacked it quickly wound up dead
“Thanks for the advice, I’m sorry that’s all I can do
How can I quickly become as strong as Oak and you?”
Achievement: Good Job
Good job Pebble, taking advice is good on its own
But you used it well, you know you’re not fighting alone
Keep learning from those around you and you’ll surely grow
You still have a long journey ahead of you now though
Hawk smiled and pinched his red cheek and said with a kind voice
Strength is just the consequence of making a right choice
Keep on challenging your limits and training your mind
It may take some time, but strength is surely yours to find”

Take heart in just how far you’ve come, it’s wise not to compare
There’s few children stronger than you are now anywhere
I’ve never seen a child so full of passion and intent
Your potential isn’t something you need to lament
“I should wish I could be like my friends or Twig’s sisters
His sisters are the first to run right into disasters”
Pebble hung his head as Log and Delilah appeared
In little time most of the Fire Bat swarm was fully cleared
“My daughters are a special case, they work together well
As a team, how strong they are is very hard to tell
The eldest is at least as strong as I am now for sure
It’s been a while since I joined them on a big adventure”
Delilah like to brag about the daughters she had raised
But thinking of his daughters in battle would leave Log dazed
“I wish they were more like our son, they’re always out somewhere
My little girls won’t spend time with me now, it’s so unfair!”
Delilah sighed as Log began complaining as always
It was true their daughters often adventured these days
Their talk was interrupted when Belle suddenly appeared
“Guys, this fire will spread a lot more quickly than I feared”
