Aura

Ocean Crossing

Aura takes her broom and start crossing the ocean to go find the warrior that helped her out of the evil witch clutches, hoping he is up for one more mission freeing the population of the hot continent from the grasp of the malevolent Sun Sect Society.

As she traverses the vast waters, she happens upon a man alone in an island.

"Hey, what's up.", she says.

"Are you real?", the man says, looking at Aura flying in a broom.

"Sure am. What are you doing alone here?"

"I got into a shipwreck. Been stuck here for years."

"Well, I'm heading back to the continent looking for a warrior to defeat the Sun Sect Society."

"Then you need look no further. I am a powerful warrior myself, I just need a way out of this island."

"Great, hop in into the broom."

Aura gives a ride to the castaway warrior, back to the continent where the Sun Sect operates. The warrior quickly shapes up and find a mission to earn some money to buy equipment.

"I got a mission to go deal with some wolves who have been harassing a village."

"Can you handle it?"

"Of course. Wanna tag along?"

"Sure."

The warrior tracks the wolves and finds their territory. Then he kills a few rabbits and lay on wait for the wolves to catch the scent and come check it. Within a few hours, the wolves show up. He then start attacking them. He kills three wolves with a club and the rest runs away. 

To help him, Aura gets the fleeing wolves with her ice spells. The warrior delivers the finishing blow, shattering the ice.

"Now I'll go get my reward."

The warrior shows proof of defeating the wolves and collects his reward. Then he buys equipment - weapons and armor - so he can resume fighting.

 "What is you name, brave warrior?"

"It is Kurt, miss witch. And what is yours?"

"My name is Aura."

"What did you want me to kill?"

"The high priest of the Sun Sect Cult. Our skill are pretty well matched, so I need you to deliver the final blow."

"Very well, I'll do it for you."

"Come with me to their city."

Aura flies with Kurt to the Sun Sect City. In there, she entrusts him to the care of the wererats.

"I found this brave warrior castaway. Teach him the entrances and exits of the sewers so he can be like a shadow when showing up to strike in town, only to disappear."

"That is a good idea. We will teach him. What are you going to do next?"

"I still need to cross the ocean."

Aura then crosses the ocean on her flying broom. When she arrives at the other side she is rather sleepy,

"I can't sleep now, I must find the warrior who will help me."

She then stops at an army base, having the care of stashin her broom in the wilderness beforehand.

"I'm looking by a man named Adler."

"Adler? As in sir Adler, the brave? He is out there in the field, hunting the ice witch."

"How can I find him?"

"Travel north. He is probably there somewhere."

"Thank you."

You leave the city limits and take your broom. You fly and fly until you find an army encampment. You stash your broom again and then go talk to them.

"Excuse me, is sir Adler around here?"

"Yes, he is in that tent over there."

"May I speak with him?"

"Sure, tell me your name so I can call him."

"Aura."

The soldier you talked to head to sir Adler's tent and tell him rather loudly:

"A young woman named Aura wants to talk to you."

"Aura? I remember her."

Adler gets out of his tent and comes to meet you.

"Hey, how things doing?"

"I am engaged in a fight in the other continent. It is dominated by the Sun Sect. I need your help to kill their highpriest."

"Well, I'd be glad to help, if I weren't already quite busy with these ice witches."

"Witches? How many?"

"We have killed a few, but I think there are at least two. A master and an apprentice."

"I want to help, but the witches are immune to ice magic, and I only know ice magic."

"Funny for you to say that, I recently heard of a magical crystal that an convert magical energies from one type to another. If you cast your ice spells using that crystal, you should be able to cast fire spells instead."

"Fascinating. Where can  find such a powerful artifact?"

"In the tower of the wizard Kale, further south."

"Then I'll go get it at once. When I'm back we will deal with these witches and then we will head to deal with the Sun Sect."

"I wish you good luck."

Aura then asks for directions to the tower of the wizard Kale and flies there. The tower is unmissable for someone flying, it is on top of a mountain. Traversing the mists below, Aura stops in front of the tower and knocks on the door. An apprentice opens it.

"Wow, nice broom."

"Thanks. I would like to speak to wizard Kale."

"Sure thing, c'mon in."

The apprentice leads Aura to the room of the wizard.

"What do you want from me?", asks the elderly wizard.

"I heard you have a crystal that converts magical energies from one type to another."

"Yes, the Purple Rock. It is very rare."

"I need this item in order to defeat the ice witch."

"Why would I give it to you?"

"I'll return it to you once I'm done with it."

The wizard chuckles.

"What if you die or let it fall into the ocean. You look sleepless, have a good night of sleep here in my tower and I will ponder on some mission you can do for me so that I can let you borrow the Purple Rock."

"Thank you, mister Kale."

Aura sleeps for what seems like a century and wakes up well rested.

"Well young witch, if you can bring me the Heart of Kaos, I'll let you have the Purple Rock for the duration of your mission."

"Where can I find this Heart of Kaos?"

"Kaos was fabled to be a great dragon, but he died long ago. His heart crystallized and drains magical energies around it until it is charged. Once charged, it can be used to cast a very powerful spell. You may find it in the depths of the Nidar Fault."

"Nidar Fault?"

"Yes, it is a deep pit full of monsters. I will give you an item that will show the direction of the Heart of Kaos so you don't need to do unnecessary searching."

The item the wizard Kale gives to Aura looks like a small scepter with a dragon head. The eyes of the dragon glow when pointed to the right direction where the Kaos' Heart can be found.

"I'm departing at once."
