Bounty Hunter Bash Isle Heat Lock Part Ten

 Resources 

They had been on the ocean a good couple of weeks before they came to the last isle in the Archipelago. They were able to pass all the rest before their resources started to run out. So they had to pull up to a doc. Yet both Chashathrophogh and Bash could not help but feel dread at what Dark Lord Gajellidor would have left there. After all, she knew that he would not pass up the chance to delay them getting closer to him. Yet she could not help but feel like there was a reason that both him and Dark Lady Grasharlo were going to the places that they were.

“What is it?”

“Do you think that they are gathering ingredients?”

“What?”

“He was in the Desert Planes for over a year, then Animéga and now this? It seems like they are having to stay in places for a specific amount of time. So do you think that he stays in these places because he has to? In order to get what he needs from these places?”

He looked on as he walked on and nodded.

“What do you think it is?”

“I don’t know.” She admitted as she looked at Cerpheres, who had started to look drunk.

“Cerpheres!”

“Yeeess?”

“Are there any potions that require you to gather ingredients that would require you to spend time in the Desert Planes and Animéga for a long period of time?”

He looked up and touched his chin and lips with his fingertips and tapped.

“There are, depending on if the ingredient comes from a plant, animal or yokai.”

“Why the distinction between animal and yokai? Aren’t they the same?” Strena asked.

“Well, an animal ingredient is faster to prepare than a yokai.”

“Oh.”

“So it was a yokai ingredient?”

“Most likely.”

Bash narrowed her eyes and looked down as they came to a café.

“Which would take a year?”

“A heart of the great eight headed serpent. Must have gotten it from the Emperor. After all, he was once the most powerful.”

That was when Strena’s face changed.

“That is, until I arrived on the scene!”

“Kitsuné Ryu get Strena back out.”

“Fine! But I will be having a little fun with her!”

They rolled their eyes as her face returned too normal.

“But what for?”

“I don’t know.”

“What about the Desert Planes?”

“Probably something from the sphinx of that land.”

“Wait,there are other sphinxes?”

“Yes. Like the ones from Olyma.”

Strena nodded.

“I hope that you memorized that!”

“Well that would narrow it down. We just need to find a potion that would need those ingredients. Cerpheres, that can be your department!”

“Nah! You can do that!”

“Cerpheres!”

“Fine! I’ll get the food!”

“Then I will get some paints and canvases and cleaning things.”

“I will help. I need more books and ink. Also, a new feathered quill.”

Leonardo smiled.

“You’re sweet.”

She looked down and became misty eyed.

“I will be on weapons.”

“I will go with you!”

“So I will be getting everything else.”

So they all split and that was when a man approached Chashathrophogh.

“Ah! Hope long has it been Chashathrophogh!”

“Kameel! Tell me, do you know how to get this thing off? Also do you know what potion would require the heart of the eight headed serpent yokai and a sphinx of the Desert Planes?”

“Yes, I do. There is a book that is all about them. Also your teacher is the one with the key to those cuffs.”

“Thank you. Also, I would like you to try to steal a box.” He spoke as he placed a hand on the man’s head.

He thought about the box and the one who had it. He pushed them into his mind. Then he retracted the hand.

“No thank you!”

“Do you know where he is?”

“Yes.”

“The Nightmare Lands.”

He became pale and nodded.

“Is that the place that is hotter than here? Where everything is deadlier and prisoners are sent to die?”

“The very same. Although, you are to doc at the New King’s Land first. After all, both trips will be long and it will take months to get to the Nightmare Lands from here. Two to the New King’s Land.”

He nodded as they got up.

“Thank you.” 

Soon they split and he looked in a book shop. He looked at each potion book and soon found it and bought it. Within an hour they all had their supplies and Cerpheres put the last barrel of food away.

“Phew! That hurt my poor little arms!” He moaned, feigning an ache by stroking his arms.

“Oh please! You’re not hurt! Now I found the potion.”

When they had put their supplies away they gathered around the table and he opened the book.
