Diamonds & Explosions Travel Map » Dragonspine » 23: Diamonds & Explosions Near an out of the way cave not far from Battleon proper. Villagers have reported hearing loud explosions and red flashes from this area. «Scene: Outside of a cave entrance. The Guardian Tower's silhouette may be seen in the distance.» «You»: (thinking) I wonder what has everyone so worked up... Best stay on guard. «A red flash is seen inside the cave.» «You»: (thinking) I've seen enough magic to know that can't be a good sign. Better make sure it isn't too dangerous. «Scene fades. You are now inside the cave.» «You»: Hello? Is there anyone else in here? Preferably anyone alive? «Another red flash. A strange person with red-highlit black hair wearing a black robe now stands behind you.» ???: Right here! I have to admit you aren't what I was expecting to find. «You»: GAH! Who are you? Kalia: Me? Just a traveler, of sorts. You can call me Kalia. I need a favor. «You»: First, quit blocking the path between me and the way out. I don't trust you, especially since you look kinda evil... Kalia: Oh, all right... «After yet another red flash, Kalia now stands facing you.» «You»: Now then... why should I help you? Kalia: Hardly. There's two reasons you should help me. First, I'm trying to take care of a problem that could disrupt the balance of the entire world... «You»: All right, now I'm listening. Kalia: Second? This. «Another red flash.» Kalia: Not bad! Less trouble that I thought you'd have! «You»: First, I have to admit I wasn't expecting you to summon a monster like that... «You»: And on an unrelated note, why did you do that?! Kalia: To make sure you're ready for what I want to do. If you had any trouble with that, you'd have no chance getting back the artifact I need you to retrieve! «You»: And what is that? Kalia: Just a little diamond. Well, okay, big diamond. Lots of power in it. You're going to use it to help me fix a problem. Probably make stuff explode, too. «You»: I want some explanations before I do that. I don't think I can trust you at all. Kalia: You should. Remember when you helped take out War? «You»: How could I FORGET? Kalia: One of his brothers is coming. We can help fix the problems that'll happen before they start if you do this. Kalia: This gem'll have enough power for you to blast his altar to pieces by yourself. «You»: And what do you get out of this? Kalia: Two things: One, I'm helping do what I have to do to keep the world in check. Two, pretty explosions! Big ones! ^_^ «You»: I'm going to regret this, aren't I? Kalia: Probably! ^_^ Now let's get you down there! By the way, be careful of Fluffy! «You»: Wait! Don't I g-- «After a red flash, you are now further down in the cave. There is lava nearby.» «You»: Fluffy? Don't tell me, it's going to be some huge, powerful monster that'll... «As the Scene pans to the right, Fluffy is a revealed: a small werepup whimpering next to a bowl labeled "FLUFFY".» «You»: ... Huh. Guess this isn't so bad after all. «You»: (thinking) I almost feel bad about doing that... «A Darkness Dragon enters.» Dragon: Fluffy? I heard fighting an-- You, did you hurt Fluffy?! «You»: Oh, this is all KINDS of bad. Dragon: I'd better take care of you quickly. The big guy isn't gonna be happy if I leave that gem unguarded too long, but you have to pay for hurting Fluffy! 3 BATTLES: Darkness Dragon Full Heals after Battles #1 and #3 «You find the gem in a stone dragon's-claw.» «You»: (thinking) Well... seems Kalia was telling the truth. ???: You... unworthy creature. This power is not yours to use. BEGONE! 1 BATTLE: Aspect of Destruction Full Heal «The Aspect of Destruction remains darkened and huddled on the ground, defeated.» Destruction Aspect: You... Perhaps are worthy. You will have a greater challenge. We look forward to seeing what you're capable of. «You»: Who's "We"? Destruction Aspect: Us, in here, and the diamond's owner. Use it well. «It disappears into the diamond.» Take the diamond! «The Scene turns blindingly red, and a black and red dragon's-head shape seems to move toward you.» «You»: ... a... a... giant... huge... Kalia: I take it from the fact that you're holding the diamond that you saw Ser'Mathis? «You»: Giant... giant big huge dragon... HUGE... Kalia: I know! I saw him once before! It was great! ^_^ «You»: It was going to eat me! Kalia: Nah. All the Avatars have mortals to deal with people they don't like. As for Ser'Mathis, I think you've met his. People have talked about your fight. Kalia: Said it left a neat crater in the mountains in Medrovia. «You»: ... Xerxes? Kalia: Yeah! The Destroyer won't let its power go lightly! He's probably gonna come for you again. It'll be so cool! But I need to get you to the altar first. «You»: Right now? Kalia: No... I need time to finish unsealing it first. That's gonna take me a little while. Until then, try not to die! ^_^ «She disappears in a flash of red.» «You»: ... Yeah. Easy for you to say...
