Episode 3/25:
ASHLEY blinked, finding herself 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. ASHLEY found herself face-to-face with a creature she had never seen before, uncertain what she should do.

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

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

Nervous but uncertain of what options she has, ASHLEY 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 ASHLEY.

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

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

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

"Well done."

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

Episode 7/25:
"It's freezing here!" ASHLEY exclaimed, both grateful for the suit protecting her 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.

ASHLEY is questing!
Episode 8/25:
Slipping and sliding across the floor of the ice tunnel, ASHLEY 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." ASHLEY felt uneasy over Ord's words. "Look, the pearl. Grab it, ASHLEY."

ASHLEY is questing!
Episode 9/25:
ASHLEY 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."

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

"Grab it, fool!"

ASHLEY fumbles in her suit trying to grab the pearl before it can float away.

Episode 11/25:
ASHLEY 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-" ASHLEY's voice is ripped away as she and Ord tumble into a sudden whirlpool. Spinning in circles, unable to tell up from down, ASHLEY flails frantically.

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

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

Episode 13/25:
"Thank you...?" ASHLEY says to the newcomer while looking around at the unexpected dense vegetation surrounding her.

"You can call me Luc."

"Thank you, Luc." ASHLEY 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."

Episode 14/25:
ASHLEY 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..." ASHLEY 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 ASHLEY pulling her away.

Episode 15/25:
ASHLEY 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, ASHLEY."

"Ord what was Luc talking about back there?"

"Nothing you need to concern yourself with."

ASHLEY hesitated as she approached the pearl. What did she really know of Ord or the creature who sent her on this journey?

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

Episode 17/25:
Luc growled, trying to shake Ord off his back. ASHLEY glanced nervously their way, trying to keep her 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.

Episode 18/25:
"No!" Ord shouted as ASHLEY 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 ASHLEY grabs the pearl before Ord can reach it. Gasping in her suit, ASHLEY finds herself surrounded by a flock of butterflies, blocking out the rest of the cave. ASHLEY's vision goes dark, hearing Luc and Ord shouting, the water trembling.

Episode 19/25:
ASHLEY's sight returning, she finds herself in a bright ocean with Luc, Ord nowhere to be seen. Shaking her head, ASHLEY hears a new voice talking with Luc. "Ummm..."

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

"Luc tells me you're ASHLEY."

"Yes..." she said hesitently to the Octopi before her.

"You can call me Perci." ASHLEY noticed this Perci was holding a magical pearl she 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, ASHLEY. 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."

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

ASHLEY 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."

ASHLEY looked around the sea cave, shining with colourful crystals when a mighty hissssss reverberated through the water. Turning, ASHLEY 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.

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

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

"We have to hurry!"

ASHLEY 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, ASHLEY 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? ASHLEY grabbed the pearl from Luc rushing into the battle to deliver it to Perci. Sensing defeat, Ord flees the cave.

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.

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

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

ASHLEY is questing!
Episode 24/25:
ASHLEY followed her 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 ASHLEY's surprise. "Yes, we are. Yes, they are."

"But - that's just a legend."

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

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

"Thank you for your help, ASHLEY." 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."
ASHLEY has completed the quest! Please select another pet as visitor, so it can also take part!
