After a bit of travel, we reach the first town which is also named Roharb. I go around talking with people.

"Have any blitzballs? I wanna be one when I grow up!" ~ Kid in town
"How about a book of non-cliche/overused jokes instead?" ~Merchant
"I wish I'd bought that when I had the chance" ~KamikazePotato

Eventually I get to the king who wants us to enter a tournament in exchange for being able to pass through town. There was an attempt on his life and the king needs to meet the winners of the tournament. The assassin could try to meet the king that way so he wants our party to be the winners instead. Al isn't happy, he never is, but ultimately agrees to join. Our team name is Atreyu and we beat up the Skullcrushers and Devil Trigger. Our final opponents are the Silver Wings so I assume one of them is Silverwings. We beat them up as well. That's when the mask comes off. Silverwings was pretending to be a weak fairy on the team. Narrim apparently knows her since he's an angel and Silverwings also used to work for the God of Creation. The boss battle music is Beat the Angel but we're the ones who are getting beat. Silverwings demolishes us but still doesn't kill us. She then walks up to the king and kills him. RIP unnamed king. With his dying breath, the king gives us passports to continue on our journey. Al continues to be a jerk. He doesn't care that the king is dead and just wants to continue the journey. He also thinks he is the sole person to decide where the party goes since he's the leader. Is this guy based on Luke? Although, I don't recall Luke getting this bad.

We head to the next town. Along the way we find a scroll that gives Karin a bunch of non-thunder magic spells. Considering she spent her life dealing with being unable to learn non-thunder magic, the problem got resolved easily enough. We also find a path to Silverwings's lair and Al wants to go for a rematch already. The rest of the party knows this is suicide and eventually talk him out of it. Narrim suggests looking for Ashera who is rumored to be near Zur instead. The scene then cuts to Susa and Flux shows up to tell him to look for Atreyu, the Sword of Tears. Elena is also here and is unsure why Susa works with the Forces of Evil and Susa said he has nowhere else to go. After that, it's back to the party heading to Zur.

In Zur I find a ghost in a well who said not to attack. So I don't. I get the Amulet of Board 8 from this! In town, we find Astrov. Raziel tries to talk sense into Astrov but it's no good. For some reason Astrov tells us that Ashera is in a near by forest so that's our next destination. In the forest we find a dungeon and at the end we find Ashera!

Ashera can see the future and naturally knew we were coming. Long ago he made a deal with the God of Creation to hide himself in exchange for immortality. The God of Creation did this because he didn't like how Ashera kept posting spoilers about the future. Although, Ashera says his accuracy is only 100% when he can see the future and right now he can't. He just said there's a chance we can beat the Forces of Evil. With that, Al has heard enough and runs off. The rest of the party follows except Raziel. Ashera says to him that the Avatars were named Light and Dark and not Good and Evil for a reason. Those who use Darkness are not necessarily evil and those who use Light aren't necessarily good. I always thought this scene was super cool and this is one of the things I remembered from when I first played the game. All things considered, the party isn't really much stronger than before but we're off to challenge Silverwings anyways!
