Having fully explored the Thunderous Mountains, Mongo and his mountain cat Nietzsche head toward Mystic Pass which will take them into Misty Vale, where they could find food.
In the heart of the Thunderous Mountains, Mongo and Nietzsche look to make camp for the night. Mondigo searches behind an outcropping of granite and of sub-alpine fir.
He discovers an ancient halberd!
He holds it aloft, and the lightening of the mountainimbues it with magic.
Mongo casts a spell that makes him smaller so that he encumbers Nietzsche less. With newfound haste, the adventurers follow a creek downstream to lower elevation in order to escape the lightening snakes.
Out of nowhere bursts a snake from the clouds and a snake from the ground. They connect in mid-air, forming a double-bodied, single-headed snake with each end attached to both the sky and the ground; like magnetism.
