Finding the water devil to be an intimidating challenge, the heroes returned towards Nabooru.  It was near dinnertime when they reached the small village.  With the sky beginning to paint itself in more colors than blue, the sun's warm rays began to recede while the townsfolk began to wind down from a hard days' work.  Many began to migrate towards home or taverns while the shop owners patiently began to close up a little at a time, always ready to fully open again if anyone looked interested in their wares.<br/><br/>The trio's return was being greeted with less and less ruckus upon each arrival.  While people were still excited to see them, there was less thrill for a parade level entrance.  Some were still overzealous though!  Romani and her father waved to the heroes from the town entrance as soon as they were visible dots on the road.  The small girl was grinning from ear to ear and holding a light of some kind while her father seemed to have a giant bag bursting at the seams (literally in some places) with mushrooms, tools, and various other things needed to help get started on their new estate.  When they were more visible Calypso could see Trix throwing a holy tantrum from the inside of a glass jar.  Nearly knocking it out of Romani's hands once before the clutched it more tightly.  When Calypso herself rejoined the group though she held it up triumphantly.<span style="color: DarkOrchid"><b>"I took care of your fairy while you were gone, she's good as new.

It seems that the path of fire is now the only way to get from the southern half of the continent to the northern, and includes the great palace as a hub for traffic.  The Royal family will have to think of the risks vs rewards of following that avenue for it's citizens.  Meanwhile the guardian remains a threat.<br/><img alt="[​IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/cDWsLPK1BpLSYRqT724aA9Ntns1LlLt8jP1eglizWaT-eoqMNU4zKlZZSHTyKfOQo-ZAakJ0=s50-h50-e365" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/cDWsLPK1BpLSYRqT724aA9Ntns1LlLt8jP1eglizWaT-eoqMNU4zKlZZSHTyKfOQo-ZAakJ0=s50-h50-e365" style=""/>Farmer Joe's farm is now being occupied by Talon and his daughter Romani with the rest of their family to soon follow.  The farm has always been Talon and his wife's dream, but their daughter Malon wants to open a ranch adjacent to it but it will take a large portion of rupees to make that happen.  In the meantime, Talon has posted a sign in Nabooru on his way out asking for adventurers to escort a wagon with cows from a shepherd in the mountain pass north of Nabooru.<br/><br/><img alt="[​IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="http://zeldawiki.org/images/6/60/MM3D_Dungeon_Map_Icon.png" src="http://zeldawiki.org/images/6/60/MM3D_Dungeon_Map_Icon.png" style=""/>Rumors have begun to spring up that there is a new fairy spring developing near the Great Palace and West of Nabooru.  A small forest has grown lush and vibrant with lights that dance in the night from it's interior.  The water flowing from the source hidden within runs clear and vibrant, 'though such an enchanted locale is rare and no one ever remembers hearing of one actually forming.  Is it just a rumor?  Does it herald darker times than people even realized?<br/><br/><img alt="[​IMG]" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" data-url="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/cDWsLPK1BpLSYRqT724aA9Ntns1LlLt8jP1eglizWaT-eoqMNU4zKlZZSHTyKfOQo-ZAakJ0=s50-h50-e365" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/cDWsLPK1BpLSYRqT724aA9Ntns1LlLt8jP1eglizWaT-eoqMNU4zKlZZSHTyKfOQo-ZAakJ0=s50-h50-e365" style=""/>You are free of course to use the map to choose new destinations, pursue your primary quest-line, or come up with your own things to do in town etc, these are merely some points of interest at your current location.<br/><br/>((Trix is returned!
