Rubix: "The dragonets! Everyone behind me!
You will spit fire, ice and lightning at the same time on the nearest one.
Do not aim at your human partners. I'll hold them off with my axes!"
Manu stayed back to heal and Dad and I were on the front lines.
Cedric was firing a magic missile
Me "Kids, look at Cedric and Rubix, this is experience and our lunch!"
5 crabs of one meter high and 1 meter wide plus the claws were attacking us.
Three were abreast and 2 were going around.
Ragul: "The claws to immobilize them! Their carapace is too big for the sword!"
We then slapped the knuckles but the lightning and fire of the little ones did more damage than father and me.
They were simple monsters, but they could be deadly when cornered and caught off guard.
We broke off some legs and then Cedric finished them off with lightning as we walked away.
Saphie and Beth stayed back to intervene.
Our not too flashy fight allowed us to have a good meal.
Seaweed, sea water and boiled crab, it was a gourmet, 4 claws enough for all of us, the rest for Valtrax.
It was time to go to the sanctuary and, hidden behind a mountain of brambles, behind a small path, was a clearing.
In the middle was arranged a series of rough stones arranged harmoniously and, in its center, a brazero with eternal flames.
I approached and put my hands in the flame as Father Damien had explained to me.
And words came naturally to my mind.
AHM
"The failure of dishonesty:
A dishonest life brings you temporary gain, but causes you to forgo the permanent."
And I learned that the island was called the island of truth.Everyone here gained intelligence and focus.
And so, for a month, we visited the different shrines of virtues.
Ragul as Rubix (she spoke for Valtrax): Every hero's quest serves to strengthen him to face his destiny. But here, we had to face Lord Blackthorne, his army and the 3 lords. Basically... freeing Lord British. But for him, time had stopped.
By taking a thousand precautions, and thanks to the incredible help of Vlatrax, we avoided fighting and wasting time.
Even if it's hard, there was no risk of being betrayed or sold.
