Me and Tara decided to take the brimstone we had and head back to Felicia. Rather than traveling by the shore or land, we decided to travel by walking down the shallow river just in case we might find some more brimstone on the way back to Felicia.
"All the brimstone we've found so far has been located in shallow water," I said to Tara. "So, hopefully, we'll find some more while traveling down the river."
"It would be nice if we found more at a spot near Felicia," Tara replied.
"Yeah, that would be good."
As me and Tara were traveling, we saw what looked like temple ruins. We decided to go and take a closer look, and the ruins were swarmed with bandits. Me and Tara put an end to all the bandits. Some of them put up a good fight. We also rescued some guy. He was thankful and gave us a cool-looking backpack for saving him. I think it'll come in handy for resource gathering. We looted the camp and found a lot of good stuff, such a powerful-looking axe and more of that meteor ore that me and Tara found at the lighthouse. We also found some booze! Fuck yeah!
"You have no idea how happy I am right now," I said. "We got booze!"
"A well-deserved reward," Tara replied. "You should save it until we visit our house by Rocky Point Shore, and then we can drink it together on the roof."
"I like that idea!" I responded.
Me and Tara left the ruins, and it was getting really dark out. Sadly, the torch died, and I didn't have any materials to make another one or a campfire. We couldn't even gather any materials because it was too dark and you couldn't see anywhere. So, me and Tara had to stay in one spot all night until the morning. When we could see where we were going again, we continued to travel down the shallow river. We were attacked by a couple well-armed suspected bandits, but we put an end to them. They did put up a good fight though.
"Those were some tough bastards," I said.
"They did put up a good fight, Ricky," Tara replied. "But I'm not sure if they were bandits or not."
"Yeah, they were pretty well-armed," I responded. "And those flags look like they represent some kind of a faction."
As me and Tara continued traveling down the river, we saw two short ghost figures dancing near the river. It brought back memories of the ghost figures that we saw in the world of the future.
"Well, this brings back memories," I said.
"It reminds me of those ghosts that we saw back in the world of the future," Tara replied.
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking."
We watched the ghost figures until they disappeared, and then we continued to move down the river. We came across some more brimstone and gathered it. After gathering the brimstone, me and Tara continued to travel down the river. Now, we're just taking a quick break and observing the area.
"That was a lot of traveling we've done so far," I said.
"Taking the shore back to Felicia is definitely much faster," Tara replied.
"Yeah, it is," I responded.
It sure is taking a lot longer to get back to Felicia by traveling down the river than it would've been by traveling down the shore, but at least me and Tara found some good loot, more brimstone, and some booze during our travels so far. So, I have to say the longer trip has been worth it so far.
