Leafie's Quest

The meeting in the forest was a very soothing one. Jali expected a fierce encounter but instead he was met with one of the most enchanting guardian, the one that guards the Green Stone. The Green Stone is one that regeneration and revitalisation. The Stone if casted on barren land will fertilise the land and make it suitable for all types of vegetation, plants or trees.

Of course, Jali has a task. Leafie was kind and her voice almost resonates with the gust of wind in the forest.

Leafie asked,

'My dear son, you seem like a man on a mission, on your journey here there was an elf. He lost his way and he was hungry. I saw that you gave your sticky rice to him and kept him warm with your candle. That is a selfless act.

Jali remembered, that was two days back after his 2 quest. He didn't realise he was being watched. The elf was shilvering and the sun was setting. He look lost and frightened. Jali did what any decent human would do. He shared his meal and lighted a candle. The next day when he woke up the elf was gone but he left a note.

'The note that he left is the key to my stone' Leafie said.

Jali took the note written in a leaf by the elf. He read it aloud,

'Kindness begets kindness. The earth flourishes and nourishes itself through deeds and not words.'

With that phrase, Jali was handed his third stone.

Next to the Pacific Ocean

Jali has never travelled so far in his life. The last 3 stones were indeed adventures that he will never forget. With a renewed spirit he headed east to the Pacific. The next guardian is a ferocious one. He controls the sea and is often feared by fishermen and sailors. His wrath commands the tsunami and tropical storms. He is able to summons waves 30 metres high and he has a trusty sidekick, a water dragon.

Jali could was a little shaken. He knows the sea is treacherous but now compounded with the fact that he has to meet a colossal guardian for the blue stone. He could only guess what might happen next.

Jali stood by the cliff and he shouted,

'My name is Jali, I meant no harm. I am here for my fourth stone and on a noble quest. Name me your challenge and I will give it my greatest endeavor.'
