With the Moon Fragment in hand, the Children of Ruto went to a cave blocked by coral. Akina held the stone aloft, and we killed the natural wonder of the place. It'll be fine. Inside was a volcano! Fortunately, Paul knows a spell that removes any damage from it. Magic's rad! The other gimmick here is how strangely laid out this place is. We need to go down, but there's only one staircase that takes us there. The other one thousand take us back up. But once we got to the magma pool, we were in the right place. The Eye of Malroth was guarded by two random nobodies, but I wonder how we use it? Also, what's a Malroth?
The Village of Water, Beran, has had a teleporter we haven't used. Word of advice, don't sleep at the inn. Using the keys, we went through the orb and came out in a poison field. There was a nice gremlin there that told us to go west. We did, but it was another poison field and a dead end. So we used the Eye of Malroth because why not? Suddenly, a cave opened up. We went up the first set of stairs and found the final crest, Life. There was so much more to explore, but Akina was adamant we turn all of them in.
There is a shine in the middle of the ocean, north of the volcano. We were there before, but nothing happened. Now though... Getting to the bottom (or was it the top) caused all five crests to shine. Pillars of fire activated around us, and a soothing voice spoke to us from nowhere. The voice of the goddess Rubiss told us about a pack she made with our heroic ancestor. How come we've never heard of this goddess? She's promised to protect our grandpa's lineage, and she'll continue to do so even now. The Charm of Rubiss appeared in Akina's hand, and we were promised that this could break any illusion spell. The voice faded away, and we were left with more questions.
With nowhere else to search in the wide, wide world of heros, Paul and I convinced Akina to return to the cave we got the Life Crest at. But this time, we went down. It was an incredible feat of endurance, and we hated every minute of it. But it was worth it. Fighting through metal babbles, magical birds, and dragons made us so much stronger. We also found a hat that reduces MP cost for both of my cousins. And for me, we discovered the location of Ruto's armor. Not only that, but we found a new sword after we fell down a hole. The Lightning Sword is so powerful, and I can summon lightning with it? Harkon will get what he deserves! And there was one more thing...
There was another way out. At the bottom, where we got lost, we found the exit to the snow fields of Rhone.
And then the nightmares began.
This place is nothing like the rest of the world. With every step we took, we encountered a new beast that pushed us to our limits. Lightning occasionally worked, and Paul's fire spells were similar. Sometimes Akina's Explodat would work, but it often failed to hit. There were two people in a safe monolith to the north, and we decided we'd live here for a while. If this common rabble were kicking our butts, what chance would we have against Harkon? We managed to scrounge up enough gold to get a sleek mink cloak for Paul, and we even got everyone a power shield. Paul's the only one using his as defense, and Akina and I only pull it out to heal, but it's been a lifesaver. But we'll need to be where for a while longer. Mark my words, Harkon, we will defeat you. Send us your hordes; they'll only make us stronger!

Things really amp up here at the end! I got everyone to level thirty or higher, so I'm hoping that's enough to finish the game tomorrow.
