L15. Coins of the Heart

Item : Book: Honey Bunnies

Ledisia kept screaming that she wanted to go home. I told myself again to be calm; this was the time for me to be a man!

Fortunately, the spiders were too engrossed in their work to see us.

I saw the steam rising behind the hill far in the distance and figured there must be somebody there. We're saved!

I sneaked through the spider lair with Ledisia but just as we turned a corner, we came face to face with a giant spider! I almost collapsed right there in fright!

Before the spider could react, I grabbed Ledisia and ran up the hill as fast as we could.

We ran as if our lives depended on it...

"It's safe now..." I gasped out.

We gazed at each other, flushing and smiling. Her apple-shaped face was so pretty that it made me want to hold her in my arms.

"Why can't I move..." I tried to step forward and hug her, but I couldn't move an inch.

We looked down and my heart fell into the pit of my stomach.

Our feet were stuck in a pile of spider eggs. I looked at Ledisia helplessly.

"Daddy! Where are you, Daddy! I want my Daddy!" She started to wail.

*Once quest is complete, read this book to report back

I tried to pull my feet from the jelly when I sensed someone behind me. It was the miner Goblin, and he was picking his nose as though he were mining for treasure.

I saw a small key hanging on his wrist. Nose Picker McGee noticed the box in Ledisia's hands and lunged for it.

I threw stones at the Goblin and screamed at him to let her go.

"No! We need this box!" he growled.

Ledisia, sobbing, managed to hit the Goblin with a capture net.

I panicked. I wanted to protect Ledisia, but I wasn't sure how.

(Awkward silence...)

(You have been staring at a Miner Goblin for a full 30 minutes... and within those 30 minutes, it has been picking its nose; you can't help but feel disgusted by this repulsive creature.)
