"Before seeking the whereabouts of this mysterious plank, I wanted to give Ohla the second mirror piece. The guard informed me she went to another sacred spot, Windseeker Heights. I have no idea how a small, feeble little girl reached the scenic vantage point, but I had to battle through some of the toughest mobs on the archipelago. More pollen spewing plants, tank beetles, and breaching fish constantly struck me with various ailments. I barely got to the heights. Did Alma guide her through a secret passage? Either way, the sound of her ocarina echoed through the overlook. I thought it was a beautiful song, but she was embarrassed and thought it sounded bad. Ohla learned the melody from her mother. She pointed out all the locations from this peak, and these islands really are stunning. I handed the priestess the mirror fragment, and she began to cry. This really means something to her, and now I need to get the last piece.
Back on the Cannon Plains, I dared to venture into the cave I was warned about. The guy was gone, but his warning was correct. I hope he's fine. Inside are a bunch of bastards. Everything in here exists to inflict status ailments on intruders. Confusion, poison, slow, and curse are the stuff I had to deal with. And it's so dark! Most of the mobs are tiny and hide in shadows. It makes it easy to sneak up and instantly deplete their targets' stamina. I've never been so excited to fight werewolves that spit locusts at me. And I ran into flies that are immune to all damage. I'd tell you how I got through this place, but I was randomly running around in the dark. I was only sorta screaming. And it turns out, I was only halfway through.
The second part has much of the same, but new green fire spitting chess knights teleported in and out. And the mollusks...the goddamn mollusks...
Geis made it down here, but he came to a dead end. There was a small lake down here, inhabited by wired spitting plants, and Geis couldn't swim. But Baslam's gift let me do it. On the otherside was a third and final mirror piece. As well as a naked blue fairy girl, Xisa. Similar to her sisters, she didn't want me to have it, so another ancient monster was summoned.
Orgujan's head was on the otherside of a deep pool. His hands were next to me, and all I could attack. He started by just sitting there, launching artillery at me. I destroyed his left hand, but it did nothing. I had to wake him up. He wasn't fond of fire, so I used my red emolas sword to shoot some at him. And, boy, did it upset him. The hands grew a mind of their own, and the artillery became more frequent. And he learned to use a laser! Org was still across the water, so I had to keep buying time until my sword's mp was restored. It took all I had, but the blue fairy vowed revenge and left. I climbed the rotting arm of my opponent because a new tunnel was behind his head.
It took me to a dead end. Dejected, I had to walk away. But then I heard a voice, and it blew down the wall. And there he was. Dogi lives! He and the rest of the pirate crew survived. He brought me to Terra, who had a unique way of welcoming me back. We then spoke to the leader, Ladoc. It's now I should tell you what happened before I was washed ashore. After finishing up in Seiren, Dogi and I found the Ibur Gang. Moma hooked up with Captain Ladoc, and I convinced him to take me to the Great Vortex. En route, the Rumn Navy started attacking us. We tried to hide in the Vortex, but it didn't go well for our wooden ship. Terra fell off the deck, and I saved her. Sadly, sorta, I couldn't get back on. But with the group back together, we tried to figure out what to do. The Tres Mares was out of commission, so me, Dogi, Terra, and Ladoc took a lifeboat to Rimorage.
Ladoc wanted to speak to Baslam. They made a deal to repair the Tres Mares on the condition the pirates become a cargo transport back to the mainland. No one thought about the Vortex until after the fact, though. But that's not really my jam. I have a mirror to repair."
