Mushrooms and me: Not the best age

*KACHOO!!*

I HATE mushrooms!

Ok, so after some time back on the surface, I decided to continue my Journey. I found myself attracted to one of the books that were in the four pillars on Relto. I couldn't make it out ver well through the linking panel, so I threw caution to the wind (after making sure my Relto book was firmly attached to my belt!)

Big mistake.

I arrived in a hut, inside what appeared to be a cave. I left through the only door, and examined my surroundings. Not much of interest, except some tiny, glowing things floating down from the ceiling. My first thought was that they were insects, but upon further examination, I discovered that they were actually spores.

Huh.

Well, after this somewhat interesting discovery, I ventured outside the cave. As soon as i took one step out, I was blasted by a wave of muggy, hot air. Continuing down the path, I noticed-to my growing horror-that what I first took for trees were actually mushrooms.

Very, Very BIG mushrooms.

Did I mention I'm allergic to spores?

Well, after much sneezing, I headed toward a piece of machinery that drew my attention. It took me an hour but I FINALLY figured out how it worked, and got the energy flowing through the Age.

And after a long time, I managed to find all the Cloths, andthe Door.

My reward for this misery?

A pillar.

A dinky blue/black pillar, and a jump into a star filled fissure.

And, I'm stocking up on allergy medicine before I go back.
