Several hours
after leaving the castle to set off on their quest, The Chosen rode through the
lands of Phantasma on their way to Prince Gastle’s kingdom. They knew it would take them several days to
get there, and that they would pass through most of Phantasma on their way.
As they rode over
the high bridge that connected the Castle of the Elves with the small town of
Loch Moss, they were stopped by one of its guards. “Who wishes to cross into the Loch today?”
she asked.
Striker was at the
front of the group, and responded. “I am
Striker of the Elves, head of The Chosen.
We are passing through on our way to Prince Gastle’s kingdom on a
mission from Queen Laurali of the Castle of the Elves. Will you allow us to pass, please?”
“In order to cross
through our land, you must first complete two tasks. You must go into the Loch and destroy ten of
its sea creatures. These creatures have
been causing havoc on our lands by destroying our crops. Once you have killed the creatures, you will
retrieve the vines that grow on their limbs, which we use for fertilizer. Bring me twenty vines, and I will allow you
to pass.”
“We will be happy
to complete these tasks for you,” Striker replied.
Halli is a shy, young dwarf who has no idea of her true calling. When
the evil Prince Gastle sets out to detroy the world of Phantasma, Queen
Laurali of the Elves comes to tell Halli she's a Holy Paladin with the
power to heal, and will join The Chosen, a group of brave warriors being
sent to defeat the evil beast and save Phantasma. Will Halli be
accepted by her group, and be able to keep them alive through their
adventures? Will the evil Prince Gastle be defeated, freeing Phantasma
from his destruction? Only time will tell.

I bet it won't be as easy as he thinks.
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine! Good guess ;) Thanks for stopping by the Realm. Come back anytime! I'll put out the tea and cakes.
DeleteI'm wondering what it's going to take to destroy those creatures. Striker sure sounds confident that they'll be able to get the vines, but I'm guessing it will be quite a battle.
ReplyDeleteTime will tell, Sandy ;) Enjoy!
