There you are : North of the town, on a cliff. Your eyes are glued on the Stormwood. Or is it Woodstorm? This strange shape in the sky... You can't tell if this is a storm raining wood, or an otherwordly forest giving birth to wind and lightning. However, this is not your biggest concern : that comes from your dreadful rhythm of the waves colliding on the rock. You don't know how to swim, and your dreadfull Water-affinity is sure to make you utterly useless - so in great danger to drown. Better not look at your promised death, and keep your eyes up there, right?
"You're feeling it too, right?
- Yes."
Your brother Bathias is on the hunt today too - alongside with Stable Lotus' finest. His sight is not up there to avoid thinking at the sea - but you fin a tingle deep insight : you're pretty sure up there, you can find some precious Thunderbird - with enough bad faith, the Storm-aligned Hawk might be perceived as Storm-Phoenix and thus mergeable to your precious spirit? However, the vertical mobility required to reach the skies will prove challenging - double so with the rain of logs.
"Well, too high for me. I'll go look for landed cool stuff instead. Later."
That was Wei Ball, a shining young talent you discovered last year; surpassing all expectations and more-talented kids hardly bargained for.
"... You guys are wuss. The real boon are obviously at the heart of the storm."
LienWen YanEr, daughter of Venerable Stable Lotus, is most probably right, as she often is.
You smile, thinking about Gro Ta stuck sieving the new kids this year.
>You will stay with Wei Ball on the ground, looking for materials. Good for his to-be weapon; safest option.
>You will follow LienWen YanEr and aim for the heart of the Stormwood, running on falling logs. One misstep and the Ocean will open its arms.
>You will group with Bathias and take the risk to ascend over the storm. Same as above, except there are fewer to no log to run on.
