It had been a few days since I found the second stone and now I'm stuck trying to find the next one but it seems like it's impossible I've searched everywhere for it, I've looked for more clues like the one I found at the phoenix temple. After having no luck I decided to take a break I went to a library in this little town. I began to read all the books they had with each one I learned some new. By accident or dumb luck I picked up a language tome which gave me the ability to read, write and speak every language in this world which would help out immensely. Another thing I found was a scroll written in an ancient language with the new skill I picked up I managed to translate it "fear the beast of the West who's roar alone can control the storms, look for the temple in the highest mountain". With that information I began to look up the highest mountain in the country what came up was the Blade of Storms mountain range it apparently had temple on it where monks would praise their deity there was also a map leading to the temple. I gathered my supplies and headed out to find this temple.

It had been a 7 day trip until I got close to the mountain range as I got close I heard a commotion going on. I went over to check I hid behind some brush and what I saw was horrible these guys had people in chains both human and demi human alike all in cages. There was 2 guys dragging a small wolf girl to cage who was trying to fight back.

(Just picture her smaller with a collar and rags on)

(Just picture her smaller with a collar and rags on). As the girl was pulling another walked up with a sword in hand "if she's gonna be a problem we don't need her" the guy said at the exact moment he went to swing down I casted a wind blade cutting his hand off. As he fell to his knees I ran over and summoned the basilisk "stop them" I said the basilisk charged at the others. I went over to the little wolf girl and picked her up and carried her to a safe place she was afraid she flinched when I went to touch her  "don't worry I'm here now your safe" I said easing the girl when I turned around I noticed a few guys left I used my nature magic and tied them up "please don't kill us they" begged I didn't listen I smashed open the locks on all the cages and freed everyone the all looked at me "you all are free there is a town nearby I need you to take these men there they will be punished as slaving is illegal in this area" I said they all cheered. As they where locking up the remaining men I went back over to wolf girl she was slowly wagging her tail but kept flinching in pain. "Slow down little girl" I said she stopped she began to sniff me "stay still" I said the girl did a low whine but listened I scanned her body for wounds or diseases and what I found was awful she had infected wounds all over, a broken leg and what's worse was she had early signs of the plague. I summoned my phoenix to heal all of her infections and the plague while I used my healing magic to mend the bone. When the healing was all done I picked up the wolf girl and handed her off to one of the ex slaves "please take her to a hospital" I asked "will do staff hero" a man said. The girl reached out to me like a child would for an adult she began to howl when I left I sighed "kids" I then resumed my search for the temple on the mountain.
