Tales of the Abyss 03

We were preparing to go to the woods, to catch us some thieves!
Pow Hammer, is Tear's unusable Arte.
Working the fields every day, to then have the Cheagles come, and ransack the storehouses; and all that stored hard work, gone...
We'll improve the situation, and clear this for good!
Were the cheagles even responsible, for clearing the food storage?
The boy in Engeve says, that he have been to the Northern woods, The Cheagle Woods, yet he didn't saw any cheagles there; monsters were plenty however.
An old man remembers, how he saw some cheagles at the Rugnica Plains; long ago, when he was young...
Hm, apparently, there are no cheagle sightings lately; well, we will find out the truth, when we get to the forest.
Okay; a woman run out of Miso, and since we are not in a hurry, then we'll get Miso for her; and the woman will resume cooking; something tasty boiling inside the pot, mm...
An old lady has the Miso we need; a shop?
An old lady at the Water Mill; they prepare Miso at the Mill.
A boy fishing; talks about how it's important, not to rush.
Luke asks straight, to give him Miso, without explaining first; Luke again has to step aside for this one, as Tear sorts things out, explaining to an old lady, that we are helping to cook dinner at the house in the rear.
The Water Mill - is the house with a large rotating wheel; the flour is being squashed with a mechanism inside the house.
An old man, and an old lady live together, producing Miso...
A water wheel; the river stream passes through the paddles on the wheel, and the wheel rotates, endlessly...
A woman will thank us, with a recipe for pasta.
The woman has taught us, how to make a Spaghetti!
We were given an Engeve Noodles too, along with Milk.
Cheagles, the creatures of legend; they are kind in the legend, so...
A man at the market, who falsely accused us before, has apologised, and is asking for a favor.
A cherished belonging was mixed up with groceries, that cheagles have stole; and the man at the market, wants us to retrieve it; his precious treasure...
Retrieving the treasure; and we'll be paid, a reward.
The treasure, is a small box; and the contents, should not be examined!
Hm, a back entrance, and the treasure chest, with a Life Bottle; this is, the house where Luke was taken, when he got accused.
Woof, woof; being barked at...
Woof!
Rose's house, doesn't have the highly important guests anymore; guess, they left.
So, what's Rose's job?
Now Luke and Tear are full, from eating a pasta dish, that Tear has prepared...
And since we have eaten, then there is nothing, that keeps us from journeying, to reach the Cheagle Woods.
To reach the Cheagles' Forest, need to go right, and follow the compass North.
Away from Engeve, from farming, to the Woods!
A Pow Hammer was used by Tear; so it's not totally unusable!
A monster was charging at Luke; beat it, and founded another!
See the Woods, just in front of us; now, to find where cheagles gather.
Fighting Filifolia, it's a plant creature; two leaves of Filifolia, are weighing down like extra large ears; and the fight, was too easy; Luke's sword, made a salad out of it!
An energy wave coming from the corner of the Forest; this needs to be checked.
It was a gathering point; and still, no Cheagle Woods.
Maybe going uphill will help?
A Chirpee...
Luke nearly fell to the ground fighting a Chirpee; Tear was too slow, at casting magic Artes, though she was able to put the Chirpee to sleep, and heal Luke shortly afterwards.
Maybe, we need better armor?
Luke has improved though, and learned the skill Free Run.
Luke has been completely restored, so onward we run, till we find the Cheagle Woods!
Moved up the hill, turned right, and immediately leaned North; and just like that, found an unknown place in the Woods...
The search begins, in a new area!
Ion is being attacked by beasts, they surrounded him!
Ion performed some kind of Arte, and the beasts have vanished; Ion raised his hand, that was glowing with swirling lights; and the beasts, were transported somewhere?
Ion used a Daathic Fonic Arte; a high level Arte, tired him out.
Yes, we met.
Name Luke, means Light of the Sacred Flame, it is an Ancient word, in the Ispanian language...
Tear is; Van's younger sister?!
Tear can now be Titled, as Van's Sister!
A Yellow fluffy cheagle, was walking in the distance; should we go after it?
Luke is anxiously running after a cheagle; now if Tear and Ion were that hyped...
The cheagles are sacred, and it's obvious why; these monsters cannot fight, they are cute, and look very peaceful; and they aren't too small either, since they are a little bigger, than the plants which we were fighting earlier.
And right, we are looking for cheagles!
