Episode 3/25:
Francesco blinked, finding himself no longer in the safe confines of the library but within a cave, the soft eerie dripping of water from above forming puddles on the cave floor. Francesco found himself face-to-face with a creature he had never seen before, uncertain what he should do.

"Welcome, Francesco. I've been waiting for somepet like you."

Francesco is questing!
Episode 4/25:
"I need your help gathering some very important magical pearls."

Nervous but uncertain of what options he has, Francesco follows the strange creature further into the cave. "Why me? Who are you?"

"I am an ancient one of the days of old. Your keen interest in the old legends of our world makes you the perfect...collaborator for this project. Succeed and your wildest wishes will be awarded. Ord here will accompany you, and this suit will protect you."

"Why do you need the pearls? Why can't you retrieve them? Why would I need protection?"

The creature hissed angrily, "No more questions!"

Episode 6/25:
"Down here," Ord tells Francesco.

Francesco looks down a well filled with water, unable to see the bottom. "We have to go down there?"

"You do," Ord says pushing Francesco into the well.

Francesco flails frantically in the water unable to figure out which way is up. In the murkiness of the water he sees something begin to glow. Reaching out he grabs hold of a pearl, lifting him back to the surface of the well.

"Well done."

Francesco grumbles silently thinking this will not be a pleasant journey.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 7/25:
"It's freezing here!" Francesco exclaimed, both grateful for the suit protecting him and annoyed it wasn't heated.

"It's not that bad."

"Where are we going?"

"There is a series of ice tunnels here, the pearl we need should be there."

"Who would hide a pearl out here?"

Ord harrumphed in frustration.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 8/25:
Slipping and sliding across the floor of the ice tunnel, Francesco continuously bumped into the crystallized walls and piles of snow. "This is ridiculous."

"Mistress should have found somepet with better balance."

"I could just leave, I don't have to be here."

Ord laughed menacingly, "I'd like to see that." Francesco felt uneasy over Ord's words. "Look, the pearl. Grab it, Francesco."

Francesco is questing!
Episode 9/25:
Francesco looked around incredulously. "Who hides a magical pearl on a beach?"

"Someone who doesn't want us to find it."

"Well how do we - wait, weren't you a different colour earlier?"

"No, I've always been this way."

"Right so...how do we find this pearl?"

"Start digging."

Francesco is questing!
Episode 10/25:
After entirely too many hours of digging, Francesco backs up quickly from a pearl floating up into the air.

"Grab it, fool!"

Francesco fumbles in his suit trying to grab the pearl before it can float away.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 11/25:
Francesco looks suspiciously at Ord as they swim through an open ocean. "I swear you looked different on that beach."

"I told you I've always been me."

"Yeah I know you said that but - oh shh-" Francesco's voice is ripped away as he and Ord tumble into a sudden whirlpool. Spinning in circles, unable to tell up from down, Francesco flails frantically.

"Relax, Francesco, you're too anxious. Oh look, one of the pearls."

Francesco is questing!
Episode 12/25:
Feeling sick from spinning in the whirlpool, Francesco manages to grab a hold of the pearl spinning with him. Was it his imagination or were there suddenly potion bottles and spell books in the whirlpool? And who is that pet swimming towards him?

Francesco is questing!
Episode 13/25:
"Thank you...?" Francesco says to the newcomer while looking around at the unexpected dense vegetation surrounding him.

"You can call me Luc."

"Thank you, Luc." Francesco notices Ord is keeping their distance from Luc. "Why did you help us?"

"You're in trouble, that much is obvious. I had to intervene."

"That whirlpool came out of nowhere."

"The whirlpool wasn't your greatest danger."

Francesco is questing!
Episode 14/25:
Francesco followed Luc into the dense foliage. "What do you mean?"

Luc eyed Ord who was following at a distance. "How much do you know of your travel companion?"

"Not much actually..." Francesco sighed. "I kind of... got recruited."

"Sucked away from wherever you were to a damp cave face-to-face with a dark creature?"

"Ye-yes..."

Luc approached an algae covered fountain where a blue pearl floated delicately. "You've been wrapped up in something you shouldn't be."

"Ignore this 'Luc'," Ord said quickly grabbing Francesco pulling him away.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 15/25:
Francesco followed Ord through the murky waters until they began to clear, coming to a bright colourful reef with... is that a tree? Ord growled looking back to see Luc tailing them.

"We need the pearl within the tree, Francesco."

"Ord what was Luc talking about back there?"

"Nothing you need to concern yourself with."

Francesco hesitated as he approached the pearl. What did he really know of Ord or the creature who sent him on this journey?

Francesco is questing!
Episode 16/25:
As he grabbed the dark pearl, Francesco became caught up in a school of fish, carrying him far away from the reef. Francesco looked behind himself seeing the reef growing out of control, quickly enclosing the space he had been swimming. Glancing to either side he could see Luc and Ord being carried away with him.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 17/25:
Luc growled, trying to shake Ord off his back. Francesco glanced nervously their way, trying to keep his focus on finding the pearl they both said should be here. With a mighty cry Luc propelled Ord off his back, landing across the cave.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 18/25:
"No!" Ord shouted as Francesco reached for the pink pearl hidden in a growth of coral.

"What?"

"I will get it."

"Don't let Ord have it!" Luc shouted across the cave.

Instinctively Francesco grabs the pearl before Ord can reach it. Gasping in his suit, Francesco finds himself surrounded by a flock of butterflies, blocking out the rest of the cave. Francesco's vision goes dark, hearing Luc and Ord shouting, the water trembling.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 19/25:
Francesco's sight returning, he finds himself in a bright ocean with Luc, Ord nowhere to be seen. Shaking his head, Francesco hears a new voice talking with Luc. "Ummm..."

Luc turned seeing Francesco awake. "Oh good, now we can finally get things sorted."

"Luc tells me you're Francesco."

"Yes..." he said hesitently to the Octopi before him.

"You can call me Perci." Francesco noticed this Perci was holding a magical pearl he hadn't seen yet. "We have much to discuss, starting with Ord and his 'mistress', Demor."

"Demor?"

"I'm afraid you've gotten wrapped up in something dangerous, Francesco. I was on my way to recruit you when Demor teleported you to her domain. Demor is a dangerous Sea Witch after the power of the nine Sacred Pearls. If Demor were to gather all the Sacred Pearls she could lay waste to the whole world."

Francesco looked down feeling foolish, thinking he should have listened to his instincts when he first met Demor. Francesco would not make that mistake a second time. "What can we do?"

Francesco is questing!
Episode 20/25:
"As luck would have it, Demor doesn't have all nine Sacred Pearls. Luc was able to locate you and managed to steal some of them away from Ord. In this cavern we need to find the ninth. With their power I should be able to defeat Demor and reclaim the other Sacred Pearls."

Francesco looked around the sea cave, shining with colourful crystals when a mighty hissssss reverberated through the water. Turning, Francesco saw Demor and Ord rushing towards them.

"Go quickly!" Perci called. "I will hold her off!" Appearing four of the Sacred Pearls Perci stood his ground against the oncoming threat.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 21/25:
"Percival! Lucan! You're reign ends!"

Francesco watched in awe and fear as the battle between Perci and Demor began, each wielding an equal number of Sacred Pearls. Francesco noticed Ord following him as he searched the cave for the final pearl, Luc rammed into Ord sending him spinning off into the cave.

"We have to hurry!"

Francesco is questing!
Episode 22/25:
"Luc - I think Perci's winning!"

"Don't be fooled! Demor is fearsome even without the added magic of the Sacred Pearls."

As if on command, Francesco watched as Demor summoned dark creatures to come to her aid.

"I found it!" Luc shouted, lifting the final pearl out of the crevice it was wedged into.

In a sudden burst of adrenaline - was it fear? Courage? Foolishness? Francesco grabbed the pearl from Luc rushing into the battle to deliver it to Perci. Sensing defeat, Ord flees the cave.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 23/25:
The battle raged on, Perci continuously gaining ground against Demor as he wrangled the remaining Sacred Pearls from her grasp. In a mighty pulse of power, Demor shrieked in agony, retreating back into the shadows of the cave. The same pulse emptied the underwater cave, filling it with air.

Francesco quickly raced out of the suit Demor had provided, concerned she may have some control over him if he remained in it any longer.

"Come friend, we have one task left to complete," Perci told Francesco.

Francesco is questing!
Episode 24/25:
Francesco followed his unexpected friends out to a bright sea, where a series of algae covered stone pillars waited.

"I don't..understand."

"You have nothing to fear here, friend," Perci said as he passed some of the Sacred Pearls to a school of pink fish who began placing them onto the pillars. "This is the proper home of the Sacred Pearls. Together they protect this world from dangers such as Demor. And aid those they consider worthy in endeavours small and large."

"A great wizard created the Sacred Pearls and the Arches of Petcillion to expand their power."

"Wait - Petcillion? We're - these -"

Perci smiled at Francesco's surprise. "Yes, we are. Yes, they are."

"But - that's just a legend."

"Well... It is now but it wasn't always."

Francesco is questing!
Episode 25/25:
Francesco watched in awe as the nine Sacred Pearls glowed brightly.

"Thank you for your help, Francesco." Perci said, now donned in magical apparel. "Without your bravery we might not have been able to stop Demor. You are always welcome to join us on another quest and have a seat with us here in the remains of Petcillion."
Francesco has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also take part!
