Centurion Showdown (Isaac, the first Adventurer)

Chapter 5 (Focus of the Council)

We trekked back to Betsy's Canyon, the drier temperatures... I didn't miss.

I refitted Applejack's saddle to Rexy, should keep me off the ground a bit more.

Eventually we came upon the titanic beast herself. Betsy was fast sleep, her chest rising and falling with each thunderous breath.

The other smaller animals seemed to climb on top of her and use her massive body as a refuge.

I looked around for the Mage Brothers, they must've been nearby if Betsy was here.

They were right on the other side of her, enlarging animals with their magic. I watched them grow a Ladybug to the size of a monkey.

I approached them. "Hello my friends. How's your work coming along?" I asked, now familiar with them and their work.

"It's going as usual. We have decided to slowly enlarge other animals. That way Betsy shall have a friend that hopefully won't try to kill her," The Light Mage replied.

"Try enlarging the less territorial animals first and work your way up from there" I suggested.

"And who made you the genius?" The Dark Mage asked.

I wanted to respond but I didn't... Perhaps I knew a bit more than I first thought or rather I was learning more as I continued the Adventure.

I traveled East, quickly finding a cave, so we explored it. I collected some Glowing Mushrooms inside and further down I found an abandoned mineshaft.

Along the shaft there were claw marks adorning the walls... But it wasn't enough to deter me from the sparkling clusters of gems that we began to find!

Diamonds!

As hard as I tried however, my pickaxe was not of an adequate material to harvest them without either breaking them... or the pickaxe.

I then tried using the Cave Troll tusk, attaching it to a chain.

I swung it around and around, over my head, building up momentum.

With the winded up strike, the Diamonds fell lose!

I placed them carefully into Rexy's carry sacks switch dangled on the sides of her saddle.

We heard a deep growl from within the cave... the noise must've awoken something...

Rexy led the way, the biggest and bravest of the team!

As we moved, we realized every time Betsy stomped above us in the Canyon, the monster in this cave would growl!

I sent out Baboon to scout out what the monster might be.

Baboon identified the monster as a Crystal Dragon, a huge beast with two gigantic pairs of wings!

However, the Dragon detected Baboon as easy as he detected it and sprayed sharp crystals from its mouth, which grew larger once they hit the floor!

The Crystal breath chased us all down the tunnel and right as one was going to impale us, my ring was glowing red, and we were teleported away in the nick of time!

. . .

As my eyes adjusted to the bright light, I saw that we were now in a Council Room, standing in the middle of the cold tiled floor and surrounded by countless seats! I could feel auras of power emanating from everyone sitting in them as they observed us.

This Planet was called Coruscant.

Then I remembered; the chairs on that drawing the Goblin Chief showed to me. This was The League of Heroes!
