So then we finally set off for Mythros. Oh Kyrah finally got better from when she was saving me from that giant dog thing in the mines, thanks to Astria, so she could join too.
Along the way we came across this large weird dude - he was real weird because his face was actually on his chest! And he had a huge maw and only one eye. Actually he was also really sad because he just seemed to have accidentally murdered his human friend. We tried to be real careful but he got aggressive and attacked anyways. Fortunately like all of us had some spell or other thing with which we could control him, haha. So he didn’t really have a chance. I think we charmed him and sent him off to the druids somewhere to see if they could help him, don’t know what happened to him then.
After that we continued to Mythros and we really had some welcome there! There was a massive storm over the city and it seemed like Sydon was somehow in that storm!! His face at least. And, he shot me with lightning!!! Well I was wondering how to think about Sydon at first but now I’m like screw this guy!! I think even my parents would agree
Well finally we managed to get into the city and into King Acustus’ throne room. He doesn’t seem nice at all - I don’t think he thought much of us but still wanted us to solve his problem somehow. Also he had like a lover while his wife Vallus was right there, I thought that was really awkward but maybe that’s just me. Anyway there were a few ways to solve the problem but we trusted Vallus in the end - she’s like the goddess of wisdom and knowledge and stuff, so that can’t be bad. But, that did mean that the five gods all were a lot weaker, forever. I mean, that’s a pretty expensive price, right?? I mean, all the gods? Forever? Just when the oath of peace is about to stop?? She seemed to have some thoughts about it but I couldn’t figure it out.
Anyway as a reward for all this the King got us a map which shows where this really old ship is, the Ultros. They say it's like the only one that can handle Sydon's storms and it's like real legend! It's probably the one we saw in that dream the other time, so weird!! And it was creepy but I'm sure it's better in real life. Anyway I don’t feel like we did a whole lot to earn the map but Vallus said the King also tried to get the boat but didn’t manage and kinda wants us to fetch it now. Well I’m so looking forward to go out to the sea!! So we have to do that next but first there’s a lot to be done here in the city. Really a lot!
For one, I learned that Vallus got like a lot of powerful healing magic and, well, that potion Esop gave me sure was disgusting, so… I kind of stayed with Vallus for like two hours a while to get my injuries healed, haha. It was really nice actually. I didn’t think about it back then, but it’s a bit weird to be healed by a goddess I guess? I still can’t really believe she’s also my auntie and I can just ask her to help me like this. It’s so different from home! Anyway, I’m sure Ellie will be happy to see me without the scar!
Next time I’ll tell about the games!
