The next morning, Ostri set out north to the cross the river. Most of his travels were uneventful trees upon trees from the eye can see, however he did found himself travelling through a dune named the Prime Dune, a barren wasteland, but at least it's change of scenery.
His travel finally led him to the last hills, From the foot of a hill you can make out cliffside village at the top.
He climb the steep dirt road and in no time, enter the village proper.
Ostri, was a bit unnerve on how dead quiet the cliffside village was, how the wood cracked and creaked when the wind passed by, or how the wind it's self kept on singing this low alto hum like wailing ghost mourning it's death. Ostri carefully moved down the slope. He staggered a bit but was able to regain his balance. He kept on travelling the dirt road passing by the ruins houses that were once a settlement. what brought this village to it's end? War? Famine? Beast? Who knows. Once Ostri walked down another slope he came across something quite atonishing. This nartually formed bridged that jutted outwardly into the sky. There was a well in middle of the natural bridge, and far beyond was the end of the bridge. Ostri walked to the bridge
and from his view can see the few trees that scattered the savanah landscape below, and further beyond a massive river that looked majestic and calming, Ostri imagined the people who lived here thought this landmark was something sacred.
Ostri wonder if the people who used to live here prayed to some sky god or something. The past is past, Ostri thought, and dropped his curiousity of the place and carefully walked down the steep hill and eventually made it out of the site.
6 days later... 6 days have passed, and finally Ostri has made it to Monsterquest. His travels after visting that ruined cliffside village was rather uneventful. Ostri did had to face his fear and swim across the river when he notice that the river just kept on going for miles further inland.
Ostri Walked over the gate and saw that he can just climb it. Ostri carefully climb the wall and made it over the wall. Ostri entered the building and was greeted by two statues.
He travel further in, and found an interesting plaza of some guy with a spear and a monster beneath his feet.
Ostri looked around decided to explore the west door. When opened the door he saw a massive room with pedestals lined up around the walls.
In the middle he saw massive corpse of a boney monster.
Ostri wonder who hunted down this beast. But from the looks of it, it seems like he'll be the second one to submit.
.
Ostri walked up to the pedestal next to the skeleton monster. He took out the massive feather from his backpack, and stared at the pedestal and the feather in his hands. Ostri remembered what his father called him. A failure, yet here he stood, he gentlely placed the feather onto the pedestal.
His journey is at an end.
The Journal of Ostri Ocnanithpa 17th of Hematite, 80 This will be the last of my entry for sometime now, I am currently in Slodiakul's library, they got this pretty looking ice armor thing in some case, not really sure it's story, but I don't really care, looks nice at least.
I also visited the guild house spacious tavern, I must say, it's rather lovely it even has a nice baloney on the second floor over looking the bottom tavern.
For the most part I am happy that I was able to find a home to rest. I am not sure if I want to go for another hunt, maybe some time down the line, for now. I am pretty content on just resting here for awhile, the food is great the booze is great. So there's no real rush to go out and kill another.
Yup life is pretty good. I also had a chat with the guild mistress, what was her name? Agen? About the war that's happening around Slodiakul. She a sure me that the people who built this are not connected to the humans from here. Also two of the elven site are economically linked to the guild. So their won't be any trouble, since they are just neutral in the whole fair.
I still have my doubt, I don't think being economically linked with a human's foe is all neutral, but we'll see what will happened as time goes on.Ostri closes his journal and head over to the balocney that over looked the plaza where that statue stands. Ostri smiled, and felt like he was able prove his father wrong. Ostri looked over the statue that he learned from the folks here, that the man over is some god from some coastal country far south. Ostri wonder if he can become just like Kima? A god among man, but he washed away such ambitious and just quietly walked over to the tavern to get drunk and eat some roasted pond turtle.
