Jazz tried to remove the pauldrons while the characteristics of the item were being transmitted to his brain and every time he touched the gold spaghetti string, it would grow some thorns that penetrated deep into his skin.
"f.u.c.k!...sigh"
The second item obtained from the temple was the Snow Globe and it was an item unique to Celestial Beast but it wasn"t a problem for the White Tiger that put some of his energy into it and sent himself inside.
The world around Xiao distorted and he disappeared from the temple as if he was ink being absorbed by a vacuum, everyone eyes went as big as saucers except for Rahz that had experience the phenomenon before.
A small version of the entrance of the temple was seen through the gla.s.s of the snow globe but there was a tiny difference between the real life version and the globe. Inside the globe, Xiao appeared by the entrance but the broken statue of his sister was now completely fine and had a life of its own.
"h.e.l.lo Xiao"
"How do you know that is me and not one of the others"
"Because I am heading to the land of the Dragonkin to see our sister and brother Hēi Niú was the one that told me where she was. He found a Child of destiny that was approved by the Strings of Enlightenment and they have formed a partnership, he said that you should visit him at the Temple of the Rising Sun located straight south from this cave. I will be heading over to the other side of the Shattering Scar to mingle and set up a forward base for brother Hēi. If you see the owner of the of the Creation Gourd send him over would you?"
Xiao disappeared from the globe and reappeared in front of everyone that showed expectancy in their eyes.
"Did you find out about your sister?"
"She is Gone! She is waiting for us in the Dragonkin continent"
"What!"
"Well... she is a Dragon"
"She also said we needed to go to the Temple of the Rising Sun where another person that had been accepted by an item of the realm would be waiting for us".
"Great…I have been thinking about taking the fight to the Dragons instead of waiting for them to invade us, you think your sister will help us"
"Of course!! She is a dragon, show her some shining treasure and she will even marry you. Also she mentioned something related to a Gourd, apparently the person she is destined to partner with will be accepted by it"
The team went around the room looking for more treasure but came out empty handed, the Levanthus observed them while remaining extremely still until the moment they left.
REEEKK!!
Screams full of rage echoed through the temple but the young female Kraken was nowhere to be found. She was swimming leisurely towards her hidden comfy hole in the ship wreckage like she never left in the first place.
Rahz and the others decided to called it a job well done and made it back to Atlantus Village for dinner time. The Elder joined the team for a quick meal and an update of the situation and when he was told that everything was taken care off he wept like a child.
The next day statues made out of ice were erected throughout the village but oddly enough they were old of Remulos in his sea creature form wearing a crown or holding a trident in a very imposing manner he would be forever remember as the Hero of Atlantus.
With the matter of the village resolved, it was time for the team to head south towards the birthplace of Elune and the much awaited revenge.
"Brother come take a look, we are Rich!"
"Hmm?"
"I have been collecting treasure from the bottom of the sea and they are all rare pieces, go ahead pick one"
The mountain of junk was real, there were a few coins here and there but everything else was rusted or plain broken even if some of the copper actually shone through the mold spores.
Rahz didn"t want to break Ridd.i.c.k"s heart and really try to look for something that could be considered nice.
"Why don"t you save what you found inside an enchanted pouch, here you can have this one" said Rahz.
"Aren"t you going to pick something first?"
"Thanks Rid, I"ll take this….eh .... flask" Rahz took the thing that was closer to him and it happened to be the catch of the last day of expedition. The flask was weird looking, it looked like a snow man without hands and the stopper was the only thing that actually shone in the sunlight. The rest of the gourd was made out of a weird material that felt like the tusk of a mammoth and it had some sort of snake carving running along the side, there was a little bit of seaweed around it that Rahz took off before hanging it by his waist.
The rest of the team also took something from the pile except for Jazz that took every single coin he saw to auction them as antiques at the next town. Ridd.i.c.k was very enthusiastic about it and the didn"t stop talking about all the things they were going to buy once they cashed in on all the treasure.
The first stop for the team on their way back was the Frostwolf Clan Village that now were an integral part of the expansion machine that was Helgahvall. Unlike before, the Orcs were a little more open minded and it didn"t hurt that Chief Mogho actually send a messenger to the elders of the clan to treat the people with the white tiger with utmost respect.
The Frostwolf Clan had been expecting the team for a long time and they were wondering where they were. The elders were informed that the group was traveling with the Manatee elder towards Atlantus village in order to take care of the problem they were having with the mutated Sea Creatures but no group with a white tiger walk within 50 miles
For a whole two weeks the Clan were in a state of panic and many displayed bloodshot eyes due to the lack of sleep, news that the person who was arriving was the Fire Demon of the Helgahvall clan cause distressed on all the people that were present during the war and the anxiety force Chief Mogho to head back to receive them.
"It"s the White Tiger, sound the horn"
ROOHOOON!
Chief Mogho almost choke on the Bear Leg he was eating but he quickly scrambled around and gave some orders to his aids "Bring the presents".
Hennessy had long discovered the scouts along the way but was prohibited by Ridd.i.c.k to burn any of them, if there was something the nether imp like doing besides being drunk was to burn people under the influence of a good chianti.
The temperature in the area was below freezing but chief Mogho just stood perspiring like he was in the Sahara desert, all that kept flashing through his head were the scenes of people being burned to dead or being broken in two without being able to retaliate. It was a blessing that he had not seen Ridd.i.c.k in his true form eating 12 people or he probably would have a nervous breakdown.
"Chief Mogho! We were just pa.s.sing by, you didn"t have to do all this for us"
Behind Mogho stood the whole clan from the children to the elderly, there was fear in some of the faces but in others there was admiration and last but not least, especially in the children there was just curiosity.
The Orc tribe didn"t understand etiquette and things of that nature so they presented beautiful fur coats just like the one Bhirl wore at the Elder meeting and then disperse back to their ch.o.r.es. The little ceremony was just to Rahz"s taste and he made it his duty to stay for a couple of days and dispel any animosity between them. The news that they were staying for a few day hit Jazz like a thousand bucks, the booze never stop coming and the pauldron was finally well hidden behind the beautiful fur coat.
