I don’t know what Marto was on about me taking so long this morning, I mean I only stopped by Paradise Frost to get breakfast basket of blueberry iced muffins for everyone…and stop by to say hello to Lolli at the dress shop…and I did have to do my morning work out…No one wants a torn wing ligament afterall!
Either way, Marto was looking pretty stressed out when I arrived at Portal Plaza, bug knows he’s got a lot weighing him down right now, and that’s not counting his clank suit, gotta make sure he’s at least eating enough!
Speaking of clankers, Marto was talking to biggest, most buggin’ awesome lookin’ dragonborn called Taz who seemed be deep in discussion with Marto about his flittin’epic demon armour.
Then there was good’o cap’n Derthaard of the guard, and-OH AMBLE’S PUPPY WAS SO BUGGIN’ CUTE! I might have to see about getting myself a pet at some point…Maybe something flying that can keep up with me!
Anyway, after giving out muffins to everyone-including to lovely as always Aurelia- we were off to De’Avlon!
It was busy! And I know any place can seem busy to a small town bug like me, but today it was heavin’ like an ant’s nest and just as productive. I grabbed one of the big church workers who said they were being swamped by folk escaping from Ganathor since it, well, starting flying again-seems Coll stirred up a lot more than some angry dragon riding guys! We did find out the King was in the Cathedral though so it was a great excuse to check it out!
It was seriously amazing, like so buggin’ enormous that even I was speechless-and as Pa would’ve said, that takes a lot!
We met up with a beautiful elven singing miss, Lady Deliah, who escorted us down to their vaults where the King was waiting, and between her lovely singing, told us she was 300 years old-she looked flittin’incredible, and that the Cathedral was actually kinda-alive-which Marto was seriously jived about, he got as giddy as a goat!
Down beside the biggest door I’d ever see, we found old King Lion himself-Varin-as I’ve now learnt-who was looking pretty’rawsome in his royal armour.
He was also pretty frisky though that his partners Sebas and Sabrina weren’t willing to let him venture into the vaults where apparently some of those githyanki fellas from Gadenthor has be seen creeping in-no doubt to steal the king’s many treasures for their dragons hordes!
Lady Deliah showed a magic image of what they thought the Yanki where after, some sort of weird sculpture thingy, a beacon Derthhard said, though to me it looked like one of those weird modern art things I’ve heard are all the rage with the nobles.
We were to either to get the thing or smash it, and if we had to bash some Yanki helms on the way, so be it-My kinda job!
So all quested up, and no king in toe sadly-we’ll sneak him out one day with us, we flitted into the vault.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I’ve never truly experienced falling before. Even when I was little and just getting used to my wings, Papa was always there to catch and hold me till I got them back into beat.
It happened soon as Taz caught that metal ball thing outta the air-just like a Berryball muscleback-WHOOF!-down we went-like something was pulling us….Falling…and falling…and falling…Yeah we were falling a buggin’long time!
Finally we hit the bottom and in a room with multiple ways out and completely full of…Junk…A lotta junk…Big ugly Vases,,waay to much fru fru fashion, buggin’ hundreds of shiny rock encrusted weapons and shields that looked like they wouldn’t last as dragon’s tooth pick let alone in a fight. All presents for the King apparently from visiting ‘envoys’ the others said-no wonder he hides it all down here like no doubt all the pairs of itchy Winterwarm socks from his aunt.
So what happened in the vault lets see…
Marto nearly got attacked by some statues going down one path, good job they backed down or we would’ve turned them into gravel.
Me and Dert tried to go one way with a hopscotch puzzle. I…Um…got netted-I was too busy helping Dert out! While Dert…Yeah…He kinda kinda fell into a pit and got spiked-But good news-HE DIDN’T DIE! Though for a dragon you’d think he’d of grown his wings bout now…I’ll have to ask him next time I see him.
Next corridor of doom, Taz got spiked by a flittin’ javelin, but pulled it out like he’d got a prickle in his finger-SO BUGGIN’TOUGH!
Marto though-I really don’t know what was going through that big stupid handsome head of his today-after being told by Amble there was a magic trap down there, just rushed forward like a BIG BUGGIN’IDIOT and got flittin’
spiked too! Doesn’t he know how much I..mggh… Buggin moron!
-Finally one room heaped with gold, we found two of the Yanki looting. Turns out they were actually spawning for a fight, but not telling us that we were “too late.” What weird accents these guys have. Taz just absolutely buggin’obliterated one guy whilst I…failed to land a single blittn’ blow on other with my new magic long sword…So flittin’embarassing!
Marto then ran off-AGAIN-after hearing the ‘too late’ thing from us, right back down to the junk room where we saw three other yanki, one of them some boss woman holding the shiny statue thing, who looked like they were about to make their escape.
Dert mumbles some magic spell lickity’flit and you could feel the faces of the Yanki suddenly become disappointi as they didn’t telepoti…hehe!
Marto then-damn he’s so buggin’brave and stupid sometimes-rushed forward and axed the shiny statue to pieces, causing a big boomin’explosion-Ooooh yanki lady’s face before she vanished looked so mad!!
We then asked how we were supposed to leave, which the vault very kindly said it could help with that and reverse magic ball falled us outta there. We then told Deliah how the statue has gone boom boom thanks to Marto, Dert and Amble left took the remaining Yanki Daring Heights for questioning…annnddd…Marto, Taz and me got to do BUGGIN’ COMBAT TRAINING WITH THE KING!
Bug those training dummies stood no chance against King Verin! With single swings of his sword with his mighty paws he was cleftin’right’left and straight straight down the middle…After watching him a while and then working on my dummies it did make me realise though. For every slow powerful swing the King made against a dummy, with a few extra wing flits I started being able to fit in two of my own…interesting!
As we left Verin laughing over his mountain of vanished barrels,
I went over to Marto and apologised for being ‘a bit of a bug’.
His hand when touched mine still gave me a buzz right up to my wing tips and he did seem alright about it…But his smile… I’m not sure what it is..but it looks different than before.
And just what the bug he mean by, ‘I know what I gotta do’ ? Oh Marto…
