So, when Kite woke up, I ended up showing the crystal to everybody. Wolf told us it was actually a witch crystal and really important to them. And it’s most probably the Ocean Heart Crystal.
Great.
After that, we went into the ruins and followed Elie's instincts to get somewhere. We ended up in a big temple with unicorns and drawings on the walls. Turns out, after a monologue from Wolf, it described the White Witch's story and how she was married to Wolf. Then Elie touched something (not surprising), and there were big lights. She said she spoke to her birth mom...
We started walking back and went deeper into the mines. Sly was really bad at detecting traps—so bad that Sofia decided to tie herself to him. I kind of wonder if they like each other or not. I mean, they’re always arguing and interacting with each other... either out of love or spite. Not sure, but they’re clearly enjoying it.
We actually activated a trap by mistake, and we heard water rushing. Wolf had the "good" idea to activate the ceiling trap so we could climb and be on top of the mines. Of course, there had to be an oversized snake that attacked us. And, of course, I had to do something stupid.
So, I thought to myself, if I teleport higher than the snake, I’ll be able to punch it and free Kite/Sofia or whoever was in its mouth.
But things didn’t go well. I missed, went through the floor, and dragged Taos with me into the water. We were dragged far away by the current and dumped in a pile of corpses... of random things that might have once been alive. Of course, we were now super clean and smelled like flowers. We managed to get out and walked our way back to find the others. Taos was obviously hurt, and I felt really bad about it. We got into the armor room and took a break there (well, Taos did). He was probably tired from all the walking and his injuries. So, we looted the place before sneaking around the hall and trying to avoid all the mechanical guards. We fought some statues (which I finished first, and I could finally say, “Oh, you’re not done yet, bro?” HAHAHA, PAYBACK!).
Then we managed to move around without much problem until... the exhibition room. And of course, the door locked behind us. Halfway through, some of the animals started moving and tried to attack us. Being already injured, we decided to run. And then it was there.
The chicken.
That motherfucking chicken was throwing feather daggers at us. So I picked up Taos (because, well, I’m a faster runner and I don’t get tired), and then the dagger struck a spot where I couldn’t move anymore. My body stopped responding, and I dropped to the floor, flat out. Taos panicked for a second, and I don’t know how, but he managed to pick me up before healing me. After getting smashed by a mimic too, we started running away again, because, well, we had no time for that, and at this point, we were triggering all the monsters. Taos was already injured enough, so running was our safest option. But that damn chicken was still chasing us. We finally got trapped between two monsters and the chicken and had to fight, but luckily, So, Sly, Lily, and Kite showed up (well, I actually saw Sly only later because he was hiding).
So, once the chicken died. I grabbed it and started smashing the other machines with it, destroying it beyond recognition. Once the fight was over, I just looked at Taos with the "I’m getting rid of evidence" look, grinding the chicken’s little bits into powder.
Let’s never talk about this. Ever.
Afterward, Lily told us that Celadon was hurt and stuck under a machine, but by the time we got there, she was gone.
Kite managed to follow her scent to a golden door. There was a magical field that prevented us from entering. Except me. So, I just knocked on the door, and someone soullessly opened it. Before closing it, I went on the other side. I saw books and people, but they didn’t pay attention to me. I searched around and found a sigil. Sofia’s little cannon trinket busted it, opening the door. Now, we’re ready to continue...
