And then?
This is Deeplung Gorge from Si's novel, isn't it?
Wait ... are you fans of that novel too?
Yeah, man! Had someone read it to me three times already. But this author's killing me — still no ending. Aww...
You probably don't know this ... but there's never going to be an ending!
Here's the thing. The author is Lady Si, the innkeeper down the mountain.
We love this novel. But Lady Si got stuck on the final battle. Couldn't figure out an ending. So she stopped.
So we've been begging her... Day after day, night after night…
Then... Lady Si got fed up and sent us here. Now we only get food delivered by her fowlbeasts. She won't even see us anymore! *Sob*...
Look at him, crying again! Huh? You ladies too...?
This is brutal! We were dying to find out how it ends!
No worries. Feel free to walk around and tell us your ideas. No need to put anything on paper.
Right. The view here is wonderful, and just nearby is a hidden gem where Lady Si often goes to write.
Heard you two screaming about Master Jiang from way down the road.
Whoa, where'd you three pop out from?!
Sorry, we just got here. Saw from a distance that this place looks exactly like Deeplung Gorge in the book, so we came to check it out...
WHAT?!
Oh come on! Stop crying and mumbling! These young masters are waiting to hear the rest. Move, I'll tell it.
I was really looking forward to their final battle... That's it? No more?
That's right.
If this is the final battle site ... maybe we can find clues about the ending here.
Darkmask, you're sharp!
Wait a minute... I, uh... I can't write!
I can tell you've got the same ethereal brilliance as Lady Si. This place will surely inspire you to finish the story!
Lemme guess, you're fans of Chivalric Tales of the Mystic Flow too? Here for Deeplung Gorge?
Oh yeah ... If we can find clues here ... maybe we could even piece together our own ending?
