Before long, we'll be headed off to the
Sea Shrine to get the Water Crystal.
But there's a few stops along the way
that we need to make first. The first of those places is the town of
Onrac, or Onlak, as this version calls it. The entrance to the Sea
Shrine is here, but since the temple sank 200 years ago, we're going
to make use of a submarine to get there.
The lady with the submarine says she
didn't know how to put an air supply on it. Given my memories of
their music, I'm not sure
why she'd want to. Unless she means a supply of oxygen to breath, in
which case, yeah, that's a fatal flaw, so we'll need to remedy that.
To do that, we'll need something called
Oxyale. Unfortunately, there's only one source of that, which would
be a nearly inaccessible mountain spring inhabited by Fairies located
in a town alternately called Gaia and Hawkeye by its residents. I
don't know if it's good or bad that there was no Alan
Alda reference that I could find there. The good news is that we
can get there by airship. The bad news is that some asshat has
captured the one Fairy that still lives there and sold it to a desert
caravan northwest of Onrac.
Getting to the caravan can be
troublesome, as there's only a small patch of grassland to put the
airship. To the east of it is the coastal forest that Onrac is in;
to the north and west is the desert where the caravan is. But then,
it wouldn't be Fifty-Three Steps To Success without at least one
hundred-mile hike, I suppose.
The dude running the caravan wants 40
grand for the Fairy, who's still stuck in the bottle that the moron
who captured it put it in. Let the thing out of the bottle and it
goes back to the spring. Find it there and it gives up the Oxyale,
saying only that it hopes the material helps somehow.
While I was in the area, I went to the
town of Lefin, just so I could have it on the map for when I go there
later. It'll be important, but first, there's the Sea Shrine to deal
with. There's one other thing besides the Water Crystal to get
there.
But that'll have to wait until next
time. I think I should be able to one-shot this one, even if I'm not
quite as lucky with Legend of Mana.
Until next time, though, stay safe,
have fun, keep gaming, and DFTBA, everybody! You know I love you!
