No Straight Roads: Heroes of Symphony

Season 2 | Episode 17: Valley of Voices

The sky would be clear again outside the Shrine of Composers. The storm and the battle had ceased, leaving an eerie calm in the air.

Legato: Solemn soloists, friends! That was close. -She said already calmly, then looked up where they were previously observing their enemies- Cowards...

Mayday: Always running away when things don't go their way. -She commented with a touch of disdain-

Zuke: They can't face us when we're united. -She added while nodding-

DJSS: They knew they couldn't win. They were forced to retreat.

Sayu: But they will return, we must be prepared for when they do.

Legato would look sadly at what was once his first built vehicle, now reduced to rubble. DJSS approached Legato and gave a couple of coughs to get his attention.

DJSS: I'm sorry about your vehicle, Legato. It was a masterpiece.

Yinu: I know what it means to lose something so precious. -She said in understanding, remembering what once happened to her piano after the revolution in Vinyl City- But the important thing is that we move forward, together.

Sayu: We could build something new, something better. We can always find a way to move forward. -She added with her soft voice-

Legato smiled weakly, feeling the support of her new friends.

Legato: Thank you all. With friends like you, I know we can overcome any challenge. Come on, we have a long road ahead of us and we must find the expert in the Composers.

Mayday approached Legato, still with the adrenaline of the battle in her system.

Mayday: Legato, which direction should we go to the Valley of Voices?

Legato took a moment to orient himself and then pointed to the south.

Legato: Well, I think I'm seeing a strange vortex to the south. This happens sometimes. -She explained- That vortex will take us to another part of Skylands. We can check it out, and along the way, if you want, you could practice your skills, and who knows, we might find some loot along the way. Believe me, it will be very helpful.

DJSS: Loot? What kind of loot are we talking about? -I ask intrigued-

Legato: In Symphony, there are several ways to earn money. It can be by working normal jobs like laborers, mechanics, etc., but you can also decide to explore the vast grounds of Symphony. During your exploration, you might find chests filled with treasures, such as coins or rhythmic cannons from bygone eras that you could use or sell for a good amount of money. -I explain with a smile-

DJSS: That sounds fascinating. Ancient weapon artifacts? I definitely want to see that. -I say with my helmet shining with interest-

Sayu: And what is the currency they use here? -She asked curiously-

Legato took out a gold coin from her pants pocket and showed it to Sayu.
