//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 Stocking up // Story: The Legend of Cadance A Shining Link to the Past // by Forgotten Legends //------------------------------// Shining Armor did not know what to do next on his quest, so he went to Kakony Village to talk the village elder. On his way he hid behind a tree and ditched the armor he was wearing so he wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb. Little did he know that wanted posters of him were posted up all over the land. When Shining got to the village he saw the poster of himself and he knew he had to be careful of who he trusted. When he arrived at the elder’s house he knew he had to be careful of what was going on. Shining went inside and saw his friends there with the elder. He asked, “what is up guys?’ The elder said, “We have gathered here to wait for you to see what you have done.” Shining replied, “I heard the princess telepathically calling for help so I went and rescued her. Cadance is now at an undisclosed hiding spot for the time being.” The others replied, “Shining we are glad to see that you are still loyal to the King of Equesrule and not the wizard.” Shining asked, “I will need some supplies to get through this quest, could I ask for some help with that?” The villagers said, “Shining meet each of us at our houses to get your supplies for the quest.” After the others left Shining asked the elder, “What do I need to do to stop the wizard?” The elder replied, “I don’t know what to tell you, but my husband Sahahasmac may know more than I do.” Shining asked, “Where do I find him at?” The elder replied, “He is in a house near the Eastern Palace, I shall mark the spot on this map. This map and key ring will be my contribution to your quest.” Shining went over to the house of his childhood friend and was given six bags of Ruppits. Shining counted them and saw there were six hundred Ruppits. He thanked his friend before heading over to the next house. Shining was given 3 bottles and a butterfly net to use to catch a fairy if he sees one. Shining went to his friend’s house and received a couple provisionary supplies. The supplies he received were a bag of magical meal pellets, a bag of apples, and ten water pouches. He thanked his friend before heading to his relative’s shop. When he got there he received ten bombs to help him when he was in a pinch. With all his supplies he gathered he set off for the elder’s house in the eastern part of the land.
