The Forgotten Legacy

Chapter 11

It was the morning after I first met Sid. We awoke to Liz knocking on the door yet again, yelling at us that breakfast was ready. I turned towards Sid and asked him,

"How are you feeling, I know a lot has happened lately."

"It is what it is I guess, Pa always said that sailing the sea was his calling. He loved to be out on the water more than some sailors I know. I'm also really angry that I couldn't do a thing to help them out when it attacked us. Either way I feel I have found some solace in finding the Bishari bloodline again. Serving the Bishari's with our Spirit Smithing yet again, was and is the only goal the Crystyln's ever had. Don't you worry about me, I'll grieve over him when this is all over. For now let us just focus on figuring out how to get to my granddad in Sagona. I know how to get through the wild Swamplands surrounding as long as I know where Lake Rosemary is located from us. So we need to find a way out of the forest that won't disturb the barrier around it." Sid had replied to me matter of factly.

I thought for a moment then said, "Fair enough, I'll worry about that later then. As for how we can get out of the forest, that should be easy enough, I am not from the forest originally after all. There is a small cave connected to the top of Mount Sulos that leads outside of the forest. At least that is how I happened to find myself here. Let us go get breakfast though, We should be able to speak with Lorenzo to see if he has any ideas for how we can get there. We just need to find Lake Rosemary correct?"

Sid nodded confirming my statement.

We then headed downstairs to the table of delicious food made by Liz. We saw that Lorenzo was already at the table eating his fill of the food. I sat down next to him and asked,

"So what's the plan for how to get to the swamplands. Sid here told me that he would be able to guide us from Lake Rosemary in the center of the swampland. Do you happen to have anyway to make sure we can get there?"

Lorenzo finished swallowing his food then turned to face me. "As a matter of fact I think I should be able to help out. It just so happens that my Unique spell is -Locate-. It allows me to locate anything or place I have touched or stood. It requires a little time to figure out where to go from where I am located. It allows me to see a path lit up in front of me leading me to where I target with my spell. It works for many other purposes as well, but this is the one that is relevant at the moment. It should allow me to see a way to Lake Rosemary once we leave the cave system underneath Mount Sulos. We usually cannot leave the forest because of the Barrier that encompasses it. But seeing as how you have found a way in and out of the forest underneath the mountain we should have no problems. For now let's eat this delicious food as we won't be able to for awhile."

He had stated that as he was shoveling more food into his wiry frame. How he managed to stay so thin despite the amount of food I saw him eat at every meal, I had no clue. But it seemed like he had figured out a way to get us to Sagona pretty easily. I had an inkling that that very spell was the reason that Winston had made Lorenzo come with us. I then turned to the food in front of me and started chowing down. He was right, I was going to miss this food on the road. Might as well eat good food while I can. I told Sid to eat his food, then turned towards Liz and called out,

"Man am I going to miss this. I wish I could eat this everyday while even outside of the forest. Maybe we should try to figure out some kind of travel food next time. This is all delicious as always by the way. I can't wait to come back for more already."

"Do your best to not get killed out there Roy. It has been really dangerous lately. Promise to come back, and I can promise a huge meal when you return. I can even throw in some of the Giant Boar again just for you."
