Alura gets her minion.

X and I have been running around with Grace on my life char (Alura), X's balance char (Fallon) and Grace's storm char (Kristen). We've been doing Krokotopia together and believe me when I say this, its so different running around with such low health compared to running around in higher up worlds on our other chars. We seem to be doing fine though. Fallon is kicking butt. :D X is finally getting a taste of what its like to be Tristan. And, I'm getting a taste of what Grace does. And, she's getting a taste of what X does. :p Seriously now though, we've all finally reached level 18 (or in our case now, 20) and X and I both took screenies of what we're doing for our level 18 quests since we've never done this before. I'm sure he'll be blogging about his 18 quest soon enough. But, here's where Alura first starts.

I didn't get individual screenies of each one first go 'round because I completely forgot that I was going to do it until after I had done it and at that point I couldn't go back other than what I've done here. :( But, its all good here on out I would think. So, with this, Alura had to trek all the way down to Unicorn way in Wizard City, and meet some nasty little dark sprites.

Did not collect. Grr.

Yay. The dark sprite gave her their fairy wings.

Once  Alura finished getting all the fairy wings that she needed for her Life teacher, she had a funny feeling come over her. She felt something. She's empathic you know. Her senses was leading her somewhere despite she was suppose to be heading back to her teacher to give her the fairy wings!

Something strange is in the air...

Hello there, student of Life. I am so glad that you called upon me for help. Join me with in this merry tune that I play.

The strange man takes from you the fairy wings and gives you an enchanted flower while you dance.

Is dancing not the most joyful thing? You cannot help but feel alive! Go now and always carry a song in your heart!

Alura would then go off skipping to her life teacher. *ahem*  What? With those types of words from something like a saatyr its really hard not to get into that sort of mood. :p

Very good, you have done well. There are more items needed, though.

Next, you'll need some acetate cloth. This is a cloth that has special magical properties.

Last I heard, the librarian of Krokotopia had a supply of this special cloth. He uses it to bind many of the old books they have there. Please see if he can spare some for me.

Oy. Lots of moving around for poor Alura. So, she jumped on her faithful Dragonness and rode off into the sunset toward Krokotopia, and making it there by morning light. Poor Zan'ne his work is never done. He's always up when you get there, day and night. Even on the weekends!

You need acetate cloth? You've come to the right place! I just happen to have some.

The librarian hands you a bolt of the cloth.

Let me guess... This is for your next spell? I wish I had the time to study magic, but a librarian's work is never done. Time to reshelve some more scrolls!

Excellent! I knew I could count on the librarian for the acetate cloth.

The next item we will need is a green gem. Strangely enough, this is a common request, and Gordon Flemming usually has one.

You can find Gordon at the dig site in Krokotopia. Go seek him and ask him for a green gem.

Huffing, Alura would ride her Dragonness back to Krokotopia, yet again. Why couldn't she have asked for this when she asked for the Acetate cloth? Seriously!

You need a green gem? They take a little time to polish. I have a few ready, but they're spoken for. I can give you one of these, but I'll need a rough gem to replace it with.

There is a rumor that there is a unique green gem somewhere here in the dig site. I'm having a booger of a time finding it!

Do me a favor, and search around here for it? It's got to be somewhere around here.

You dislodge a green gem from the statue.

Well done! I'll give you one of the prepared gems, so you don't have to wait. I'll get to work on this one now. No one will be the wiser. Good luck!

Wonderful. Now that we have all the ingredients, we can begin.

Moolinda starts to weave all the items together.

There we go. All done, and this is for you.

Yay! Finally got the minion. Honestly, it took me longer to do this blog than it did to do the actual quest, but, all that changing places! >.< Back and forth. Jeez. But, here is a random screenie of Alura and her dragonness, and a funny screenie while we were in Colossus that I thought I would throw in the mix since I won't have any where else to place it.

Happy wizarding.
