We made our way to Ciar. Again, it wasn’t my favorite place, but the rewards we pretty good, and I could get the item I needed, the thing that I went into Alby dungeon about six times in a row to get enough of the item. We did the dungeon quickly and made it to the boss. I was surprised that the two of them were actually pretty good at doing dungeons quickly. But then again, they were elves and they were faster than humans and giants.
I stopped in a room a long the way to the final room and picked up the item I had been searching for. Mana herbs, it was said that bears loved them, and truth be told, they did. “Hurry up!” Madonna shouted from the other room as she charged her fire. I got up and sprinted into the room. The plan was to mele it until it was no more. I swung both swords at it, and was sent flying, almost dead; I hadn’t been that low on health in a ling time.
I finally understood why Madonna was smiling… we were doing Ciar advanced. I charged up my fire as well and summoned my silver fox Ishikuo, the only pet I had at the time. I gave the command to it to attack and smash the golem. Finally, after about 5 resurrections, all of them on me, the golem fell and faded away. I sighed and fell to my knees. I hate golems. We all ran into the treasure room and got our rewards. Mainly gold, and of course, more mana herbs for me. I smiled. I had enough to buy a horse, but I hesitated. Well, until Kimk convinced me to buy one.
“I have to go to a few places, I’ll see you around, okay?” I waved good-bye to them and rode off. First was to go see Tarlach, in his bear form. The only time he could eat mana herbs was in his bear form and it would help keep him alive. I befriended him a while back, mainly because I brought him mana herbs and talked to him. There was snow everywhere in Sidhe Sneactha. So I usually brought my winter jacket with me. I rode my new horse through the Snowman’s Tomb, and all the way to the alter. He was still in his bear form so I had made it in time.
I gave him the mana herbs and happily waited until he turned back into his human form. It was only for a short while that I could talk to him, so we usually talked about random topics. Like the Snowman’s tomb and who took the time to make so many snowmen. Once, when he wasn’t looking, I threw a snowball at the back of his head. I got a short laugh out of it.
