Ok..... well, I know I said that if you people didn't comment, something horrible might happen to Eliza and end her life, but I can't very well kill off my main character in the middle of the story! That'd be stupid.... but then again.... who says that Farrago Forest (for that's the new title for the Forbidden Forests of Firebracken)is the middle of the story and not the end? I'm not trying to insinuate anything....
Well, here's the new deal, I'm in Chapter 19: The Dangers of Farrago Forest. Jason's has three or four days left to live and in order to save his life, Eliza must travel through Farrago Forest to get the healing crystals from Cirella the hag.
The forest is one of the most dangerous places in all of Noria,a fortress of jungle, enforced by Cirella, with monsters and terrors of all manners. Monsters, creatures, uncontrolled and wild magic, fervid heat, squalling rains, treacherous ground, and then of course, Cirella the hag herself. THe likelihood of her returning is slim, but with her resourcefulness and her magic, she stands a chance... until Difowe decides to step in. Can Eliza defeat all of Farrago Forest's dangers AND Difowe's attacks???? I don't know..... you people never commented.
I'll let you decide her chances... here are some of the creatures that bide within Farrago Forest.
The Black Fog: a monster of the mists, risen from the murky jungle swamps of Firebracken. Transparent, sly and powerful, the Black Fog pounces from the misted trees of the forests and swallows his prey into his mysterious form. His chilling and reaching fingers wrapping tightly around his quarry and crushing, freezing and enticing away the soul of his defeated meal into his misted stomach.
Marun: a massive snake who creeps the jungle grounds and rivers of Farrago. A powerful form, and venomous fangs, Marun squeezes the life out of his opponent and swallows them down to satisfy his hunger.
Bivcad: An earth dragon of fearsome power. Traveling beneath the surface of the soil, Bivcad moves without a sound and leaps upon her trespassers, dealing out with all hell to drag the prey beneath the ground.
The Grabel: In resemblance to many creatures,the Grabel lumbers through the forest, with slicign tusks and claws. After sighting its quarry, the Grabel will charge with a speed to be matched only by those with wings. THe likelihood of escaping the Grabel is slim and extremely rare.
Cilc: a monstrous (and conceited) black widow spider, her web extending over an abyss. Always hungry for a meal and a compliment, Cilc uses her poisonous web to encase her prey and eats them alive.
Cirella: the hag herself at the end of the long journey (were anyone ever to make it). Once an old, and powerful, sorceress, Cirella became a recluse and created the monsters that fill Farrago Forest. To obtain teh healing crystals, one must get them from Cirella, and they always come at a price.
There are many other dangers that haunt the forest, but, well, I kind of don't feel like writing about them right now. Remember, it is not like Eliza will have the availability of healing after every battle she fights. Every wound she gains, reamins with her through every battle after that. With the battles coming one right after another, Eliza may find herself too weak to handle her foes.
see ya!
