A stout woman with silver braids and flat face emerged. Her silver eyes twinkled with wisdom. Her short translucent wings were close to her back. Her brown dress clung tightly on her fat frame." What do you want!" She coarsely says as she eyes us suspiciously.
Arfion bows before her " the great witch of the fire mountain...we have come to you to seek for drsperate help. We are the guardians of the four gates. King Dorius's land has been left barren by Rubin's army of rotcrawlers. They devoured every greenery they could lay their eyes on. King Radagast of Crytallox and king Dorius of The mountain kingdom appeals for your help. No one knows the location of The emerald sceptre but you. The green energy of this sceptre can heal the land of The mountain kingdom. Please help us oh mighty Caso."
She srached her chin and says. "Follow me." Curtly.
We follow her to another chamber with dusty old skin parchment scrolls held togather by leather straps.
She blows the dust of a scroll and opens it. She places it on a stone table. "Here...this map will take you to the pool of tears...if you can cross the pool...the water magic comes in handy...go deep in the heart of the pool. You shall find the sceptre." She says pointing at something on the scroll.
"Where is this pool of tears you are talking about?" Nalu inquires. She smirked at him ." In the dead vent of the fire mountain. " What? Inside the volcano. Or is it dormant. So there shall be blocked vents of magma...the dead vent.
She says again" let me again warn you...this pool is holy for the dark spirits. They will do anything to stop you. But dont let them get to you. They shall play tricks on you and even give you terrible illusions. But if you touch the water once. They will evaporate." She smirks again. Oh boy.
We thank her and Arfion gives her a velvet pouch of stones...
We come out of The cave. Nalu filled his lungs with air." Let's do this!" He beams.
