Lisa's all rested and we had the druid meeting. We got Lisa all caught up on what's been happening and she told us she'd been ambushed by the Dark Riders and she's been in Pandoria all this time. She also said that she could feel Anne when she was in Pandoria, meaning our other missing Soul Rider is trapped in Pandoria too.
Well, first thing's first. We gotta do that favor for the sleeping widow
Hey Lisa, you ready to return a favor? I have to help you with it because of course I do. I must play a part in literally everything that happens on this island.
We raced to the primeval tree. I wanted to run along side her all the way there but she ran so fast and also eventually disappeared :(
As soon as we got there Lisa was like "looks like it's asleep again oh well I guess we can go home, I'm sure it forgot about the favor anyway" like wow lisa way to flake almost immediately
I convinced her to stay and give it a shot, and we did get the widow to wake up. It said that its lover was connecting it to the root system to all the other primeval trees, but when it was chopped down, it cut off the widow's communications. It wants us to grow the roots to connect it to the tree on Scarecrow Hill across the water. It says it knows we can do this because Aideen grew all life on this island, so surely we can grow some roots.
Yeah sure, I can totally do whatever a literal goddess can do. Easy.
Lisa said we'll have to start by examining the stump of the murdered lover, so we raced over there
Yep, that's a big ol stump alright. So this is as far as the roots currently go
Here they are at the beach where we must make them grow across the water. Lisa joked that we should just tie a string and a can on each end and call it good. It doesn't seem any less silly of an idea than just glowing at the roots and hoping it makes them grow tbh
We decided we're gonna have to ask for help. Lisa went to ask Elizabeth, and I went to ask Linda
Linda said we might be able to do it just like Aideen did. She walked across Jorvik with a harp in one hand and the light of Jor in the other, bringing life everywhere she went. We do have the light of Aideen already, but we need the harp. As for getting across the water, maybe we can just use a boat? Surely we don't actually have to run across.
Also she gave me the fun fact that this is why the jorvik flag has a harp on it and then told me all about the flag
Cool Linda but we're getting off-topic here
Lisa showed up to get us back on task
She said that Elizabeth said if we use the right harp and play the right tune, we might actually be able to do it. If we combine the harp magic, the light of aideen, and Lisa's healing magic anyways.
Linda said the Harp is kept in a museum in Jorvik city, but the museum is closed for renovations right now. But the owner is close with the Silverglade councilman, and he likes me, so I was sent to go see if he can help
hello councilman please tell your museum friend to give me his priceless ancient artifacts
Honestly the councilman didn't even hesitate. He just called up his friend and vouched for me no problem, and now his friend is willing to just give the harp to us??? Sir that's a terrible way to treat your artifacts! No wonder you and Mr I Keep The Village's Legal Documents In Some Burned Down House In Hollow Woods are friends
So I ran back to Lisa and Linda to tell them the good news
They've been trying to get the butler to give us a ride to jorvik city, but he said he won't without our parent's permission. Linda seems extra mad and I don't blame her tbh. These are the ppl that kidnapped her, they owe us. Also I'm not sure I even have parents?? I know Lisa's dad is the one at Starshine ranch and her mom is dead. I have no idea anything about Linda's parents.
I gave asking the butler a go and he actually said yes to me. I guess he knows and trusts me more for some reason. He said he won't be going into the city until tomorrow, though, so we'll have to wait.
