I had a great time with Dad. Told him all about my life and about home and about space. He told me about how he talked to a fish once and it took him to the faewild and that’s how he met Mom. I wrote down what everything he had carved was. But eventually The Best Friends Club came back and said they were heading to the next town, so I said I’d come back and maybe take him to see more fantastic things later.
I got lost in thought then, for a while. Until we started talking to a big water dino things with a big long neck. It was awake, too, and was afraid the druid that woke it up would make it sleep again if it didn’t attack fisher ships. That’s silly and also, we need to stop that druid. The dino said it would stop attacking if we’d protect it from the druid. The druid likes the winter goddess lady, so we definitely need to do something about them. Name’s Raveson or something. Saalym went swimming and brought up some dead bodies and booze.
We gave the fisher people some big fish and they gave us some stuff. We go to the five taverns and get more booze. Some of them were asking about the druid, but it seems like they’re not here anymore. Went towards the Lonely Woods, I guess.
So, we head there and ask around. There’s a big white moose up here attacking people. That druid has been real busy. It’s only attacking people trying to cut wood and it hides from any hunters that come after it. The speaker lady and her kids are really nice and since the Inn is closed, she lets us stay with her. I try to teach the kids to make daggers, and we have lots of fun.
Eggy’s a real good hunter, so we go track it down in the morning. It’s a big ritual place with big crystal pillars and a big fancy coffin box, and a house without walls, and a bunch of statues with worn faces. Twitch says it’s something to do with the moon and time. He wants a dead elf to give him a moon sword. Do they do that? We mess with the pillars and the signs for a bit. Some snow and twigs and pinecones and fire. But nothing happens. Maybe it has to be a certain moon. The moon Twitch says we need is in a few days from now.
We look around instead. There’s a hole busted into a hill, and a lot of bones inside. There’s also a bunch of sleeping animals of all kinds. And that big white moose. Who shouts at us for the Frost Maiden and charges before we can make friends with it. All the smaller animals ran away while we killed it. Poor moose, it shoulda listened.
Looks like a lot more to explore here, but we take a rest first.
