Bodul told me about the guardians of the mountain.

They were huge, about three meters. Their body was made of stone and there was a big hole in their head instead of a face.

From this hole they could shoot a red laser that could shred through anything.

In addition, they carried a long spear made out of stone with them, which can cut trees with ease.

I asked him why they were defending the mountain, because it would be good if we carried the chosen one to the top.

He explained to me that this mountain has been attacked several times by the forces of evil, but until now the guardians have always managed to repel the attacks successfully.

They could not speak, they were always silent. But they always made creepy noises when they moved.

They were not fast, but once they saw you, they would chase you until you died or until you disappeared from the mountain.

It was clear that we would not be able to win a head-on battle against them, so we sneaked past them.

Sometimes it happened that we were seen. I was too clumsy or the child started crying.

But Bodul knew the weak point of the guards.

On their backs there was a red crystal that gave them life energy.

If you hit this crystal with a bullet, they shatter and the guardian would fall to the ground.

Bodul used special bullets made of gold and enchanted by an evil witch. A normal bullet would not do anything.

I asked him why he had asked an evil witch for help, but he simply told me that it was the only way and that he had killed the witch after she gave him the bullets.
