Searching For Spring

make an advance on wriggle

 

my bad desole

You snack on some nuts, berries, and some of your own rations. You feel better.

You start to finish up the axehead.
"I'm gonna go scout up, if you don't mind." Wriggle says to you.

 

She turns tiny, then proceeds to fly up the waterfall.
In time, you finish the axehead, then you bind it to the stick by using cloth.

Wriggle is away. You now have the AXEHEAD.

 

Look around for any trees to chop.

 

There are trees all around you. You start to chop at a thin one.
The tree falls.

 

pick up fallen tree, spin it as fast as possible, and throw it at wall with all your force

 

Even though the tree is skinny, it is still heavy. You barely manage to spin it around, and you hit the cliff walls. You make a tiny dent, but nothing happens.

In moments, you happen to see Wriggle's tiny form fly down from the cliff. She says, "There seems to be a battle up there! And it's pretty heated, too!"

 

Ask her if she knows who is involved, and whether we should interfere.

 

"It's the two goddesses of the mountain versus some guy! There's bullets everywhere! It would be suicide to try to charge head on."

 

Try to charge head-off

 

Trim branches to make a log and sneakily roll it at the goddesses' feet to trip them up. Wait for the perfect timing and keep hidden.

 

Two goddesses!? And...some guy. One who can hold his own against two goddesses?

Definitely best not to interfere head-on. Ask her to keep away from the fight, and check the status of the ice [that everyone was fussing over for whatever reason].

 

You cannot charge as you would run into the wall.

You are not near the fight area. It is at the top of the mountain.

You check the status of the ice. It has melted a bit, leaving an ovbiously bigger hole than before.

 

use the trunk you threw at the wall to long jump over the wall along with getting flying Wriggle to give you a little boost once you get off the ground

 

You tilt the trunk on the wall. You climb up it, a quarter way up the cliff. You motion to Wriggle to pull you up. She turns normal sized and starts pulling you upwards. She manages until the tip top of the cliff is reachable, and you grab on. Tired, she sits at the top. "You're heavy..."

You see that the waterfall continues up, but however the little area across the waterfall seems to have a path going up. There are stepping stones you can use.

 

carry wriggle bridal style as you travel the path upward

 

As you walk up the path, yell "PINECONES" as loudly as possible.

 

You pick up Wriggle like a bride "H-hey!! What are you doing?!"

But somehow it's comfortable for her, so she stops squirming.

You cross the stones and head up, yelling "PINECONES!".

You reach higher and higher. Soon, you arrive to the highest point of the waterfall after a hike, and you see the lake that makes up most of the waterfall, parented by a very large one off to the distance. You see off the mountain. You see most of the land, and it is breathtaking.You can see many different landmarks covered in snow. "Amazing... But too bad the snow is covering it all, isn't it..."

At the end of the lake, there are stairs. You can see bullets flying off in the distance - in large numbers, too...

You can try to swim to these steps, or you can try going around the perimeter full of trees, but it wouldn't matter as the stairs are about 35 meters away.

 

Touch the water to see the temperature.

 

What is surprising about the water here is that it is very cold(!), but the ice has not frozen whatsoever, even at such a higher altitude. It may be the flow of water, but even then the piercing cold should have iced some of it.
