Cloud's Log: Day 7

 

Heya, Cloudy here again with a new update on the Symphonic Adventure x ) This time, we take on the wind temple, but before we do that, a certain shiny platinum bird whispered something in my ear, "Go to the town of bridges.." Seeing how the bird is a shiny plat one, Imma listen to it.. x ) So...

let's-a go!

 

Follow the Words of the Shiny Bird!

So, the original plan was to go into the Mausoleum and take on the Wind Temple, but then, I got some words from a bird... "Highly recommend you go to the next town first". So... I went and did that!!! But first I explored the land a bit, where I found a forest, which has a unicorn in it! :O But sadly it is trapped in a lake under rubble. I cannot help it, so I must leave it there in the lake, alone, without a sweater... : ( Sorry buddy, maybe next time. I need a summoner, so I should note that down...

Moving on, I also found a secret conversation between Lloyd and Raine, but that was about it...

I got to the town in the North, The City of Hope: Luin! You know, for a city of hope, Luin sounds like a sad name, almost like.... O:

So anyway, I check the town, buy a few things, and explore every house and person. Nothing (except the Wonder Chef). Stupid bird lied to me, except when I went to the area with a fountain...

There stood our friendly Ninja girl, playing with kids! Aw, I knew she wasn't a bad gal x ) Anyways, you get to converse with her, choosing to say "You're actually a nice person!" or "You're kind of cute". I went with the 2nd 1st choice of course! x ) I guess that is for some side quest or something...

Anyways, that does it for that. Well, thanks shiny Platinum bird o: Hope to hear from ya again...

 

The Real Deal: The Wind Temple!

So I make my way back to the Wind Temple, where I... go in! O: I am greeted with blowing wind, and a lot of traps. This temple revolves around one puzzle at the end, and you gather the clues in this main area. You turn off blowing wind with blocks, light torches, and read hints. You also fight monsters, get treasure, and avoid traps, like floor spikes and moving wall spikes, trying to kill you like a side subway Jill sandwich. The floor ones are hard to dodge too, so I took a lot of pain.

By the time I reached the end, I had all the clues I needed. The puzzle revolves around 5 fans. Red, green, white, yellow, and a big blue one in the center (F-Zero ref!) Use the sorcerer's ring (now a wind ring) and blow them in the right order, to open the door to the boss! There are also 2 treasures in the room, so you can try to get those too.

Of course I cheated and looked them up went thru the effor to figure out the puzzle, and got the items and door open. The boss greeted me, where we fought and won. Collette got more powers and we decide to leave, until....

 

The Clumsy Ninja Would Like to Battle! Angel Toxicosis, and Collette's Startling Secret!

Sheena the ninja returns, demanding a rematch. Oh yeah, she snuck in by the end of the temple. So we fight and beat her too. She ponders why she can't beat us, saying if we complete our goal, her town will be destroyed! Wait, aren't we the good guys for trying to regenerate the world...? o: Oh no, conflict! So we leave the temple, and Collette is feeling ill again. The after affects of Collette's new powers makes her sick, so we set up camp of course.

Later that night, Lloyd decided to talk to Collette, giving her hot coffee and tells Collette to be careful, which she grabs and replies,

"Oh yeah, it sure is hot." To which Lloyd replies,

 

"Actually, I lied, it's cold. I asked Genis to make it cold," and Collette responds,

 

"Oh, right! It's cold!" and Lloyd replies again,

 

"Actually, I lied again, it's really hot."

 

And that's when it hits everyone. Collette can no longer feel things. She bleeding a lot before, and didn't react at all. Not only that, she can't sleep or taste food either. Wow, it must suck for her. At least she can hear better x ) At this rate, she is going to become... O: Not saying anything... x ) However, we decide not to tell anyone, at Collette's request.

 

The City of Ruin, and the Human Ranch...Again...

So with Collette 'better', we head to the town we were at before, but now it is completely destroyed...

Now named the City of Ruin, Luin is in shambles. (That's the joke..!)  Well, it's a good thing I came before. Thanks shiny bird!!! O: Everything and everyone is about gone, except for...

Enter the ninja girl, who is injured. We are about to help her, much to Raine's distrust, but then, Dorrmat's monster wife shows up and attacks the village! Thank goodness for that uh... secret exit in the jail cells! O:

Sheena tries to fight her off, but is too injured. Collette comes in, tells her to stop, gets slapped, and then... goes away I guess..? This game is sometimes poor at conveying things, like where the hell happened to the monster wife...

So after all that, we help Sheena and she asks us a favor O: She tells us the villagers were taken to the human ranch, and since they were kind to her, she wants to help them and asks for our help to. I decide to help, while Raine is against it. Man, Raine is such a stick in the mud... x )

So, we join with Sheena, and she is a new party member!!!

 

Imagine Raine as the middle one.. x )

 

So we reach the human ranch, and... end it there.

 

Thanks the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend! See ya next time x )
