the kingdom of Deltora is shrouded
darkness there once was a time when the
belt of Deltora protected the kingdom
from such evil it was added the first
king who forged the belt and affixed the
seven tribal gems to it each gem had a
unique in magical power and United they
made Deltora unconquerable however the
gems were stolen and scattered to seven
of the most dangerous places in the land
this was the doing of the evil Shadow
Lord who then conquered and ruled the
land by terror it is in dark hours that
true hope and courage are born out of
this despair a boy would step forward to
defy the Shadow Lord and search for the
seven gems these are the adventures of
lief Barda and jasmine
you two are late if it happens again
there will be consequences I apologize
we had to deal with this situation
I don't want to hear excuses and you
better have brought as much food as
you're supposed to this time of course
we did it's all in the cart
hmm so the rocket jars give the food
over to the grey guards and then what
well good morning to all to my Lords and
milady rockatuer a fine day isn't it
look it's Tom
enough small talk we're already late
because of these fools that's not good
sure you don't have time for a cold
drink Tom we'll see to the changing of
the beasts you should relax before
continuing your journey it's a long
drive way back to Del they're going to
Del it all makes sense now all that food
from NORAD's doesn't get thrown away
it's taken to the palace and del which
means that the rocket chars inspection
is actually for the Shadow Lord it's
also wrong the people of NORAD's are
just being used what would tear think if
she found out that her people are
actually slaves the Shadow Lord the grey
guards the rocket jars I'll never
forgive them especially Tom when we came
into his store before he acted as if he
supported the resistance but now he's
laughing it up with a bunch of great
guards yeah hey what was that I heard a
noise man a pesky black bird again he
followed us all the way from NORAD's
mm-hmm this isn't good Tom seen Kree
before hasn't he yeah he has and I'm
pretty sure he's smart enough to figure
out the rest please enjoy yourself at
Toms shop mmm by the way I must give you
some bad news
unfortunately there are no beasts for
you to ride back to nor ads so you'll
have to walk how can that be tom is very
ashamed but the mud le'ts would set
aside in the barn for your return have
been stolen by three wicked and crafty
travelers you should have taken more
care we found the beasts trying to get
back into their field and NORAD's
they must have thrown them off at our
front gates I see and the travelers they
brought evil to our halls they'll be
staying in our dungeons for good that is
good news indeed as for right now why
don't the three of you go into Tom's
shop and relax there's some work outside
that Tom needs to finish but it
shouldn't take long
then when the gray guards have left
perhaps the three of you will enjoy a
drink with Tom yes that sounds like a
fine plan he can't be trusted when we
went to his story fooled us just like
he's fooling them
to anyone who cares to listen if you
wish to leave a cart unobserved and run
to the bushes by the shop then this
would definitely be the time to do so
old tom is the only one around who would
notice right now what kind of trick is
he up to I think he's trying to help us
he's saying we should go hide in those
bushes over there do you really think we
should trust a word he says I don't
trust him any more than you do but we
can't stay here yeah Tom almost forgot
that these bushes needed to be trimmed
today tell us Tom what exactly is going
on just business as usual my young
friend business huh that's right tom is
but a poor shopkeeper who simply looks
after the needs of all of his customers
that's a lie and you know it you sold us
mud leads that belong to the rocket cars
and then you told them that we stole
them from you all you care about is
money
leave you may be right about him but now
is not the time how right you are my
young friend poor Tom admits he finds it
hard to resist the allure of easy gold
thanks to you we almost spent the rest
of our lives rotting in a dungeon that's
not true what happened after you left
Tom's shop was entirely your fault not
his if you had taken the left-hand path
as Tom advised the beasts would never
have caught the scent of their home and
bolted like that
but you're still a liar you pretended to
be against the Shadow Lord and with the
resistance but we saw you today talking
those great guards as if there were old
friends of yours obviously the three of
you never cared to notice
Tom's name looks the same whichever side
you're on
it's the same way they were approached
from the west or the east it's the same
whether you are inside his shop or
outside it and Tom himself is exactly
like his name it's all about money
certainly Tom's never said otherwise has
he he's the same Tom to all who pass
through his shop he never chooses to
take sides this is because tom is not
interested in things that are not his
concern you're a traitor not true
don't forget that Tom saved your lives
and because of that you are able to
fight another day but that's in the past
right now tom is the only one who knows
you're here and he suggests you leave
while you have the chance tom will not
take any responsibility if the grey
guards pick up your trail so quickly and
quietly and be sure to take all of your
belongings with you even your garbage
you've got to admit he did save our
lives back there really it's more than I
expected there are a lot of animals that
only look out for themselves and I
wouldn't say they're bad yeah but he's a
human being not some animal that means
he should know right from wrong that
means he should know right from wrong
spare me like you've never done anything
wrong before mr. perfect what are you
trying to say I'm saying who are you to
judge this might come as a surprise to
you but you don't know everything
so stop walking around here thinking
you're better than everyone why do I get
the feeling this could go on forever you
know if you were smart like me you'd
save your energy for walking okay but we
have to go back to neurons first and
tell the people they're being lied to
that's insane Tiras being used by the
rocket chars as a slave for the Shadow
Lord and she doesn't even know it what
good would it do for us to go there if
by some chance the people believe what
we tell them can you imagine what will
happen if they broke the pattern of
centuries and rebelled against the
rocket chars The Shadow Lord would
undoubtedly be so angry he'd destroy
NORAD's is that what you want all we
should be thinking about right now is
how to get to the city of rats and find
where the third gem is hidden so stay
focused hmm
wants to tell us something he says that
he can see the river so how close is it
sounds like we're almost there that's
good once we've crossed Broughton river
the city of the rats can't be far this
must be it
it certainly is broad it looks more like
a lake do you think that's the city of
rats that'd be my guess then we're
almost there
we just gotta cross the river yeah but
how are we gonna do that
we can't just swim and they're only
reeds here I can't see anything we can
use to build a raft with
so what we gonna do I know is I'm hungry
and tired I really can't think on an
empty stomach
all right then why don't we have a
little something to eat first mm-hmm
I even turned the bag upside down to see
if there was anything else but no hey
wait a minute what did we get at Tom's
shop again
I remember we bought some sort of food
sure if that's what it really is I think
twice before eating anything of his
dough we've got beads that supposedly
make fire a pipe that blows bubbles of
light powder that cleans water and the
no bakes well that's something we could
eat it's that stuff that turns into
bread if you just add a bit of water
like that could happen and he gave us
this free gift they're called water
eaters water eaters how do you suppose
they work are they alive I don't know
sparingly drop water eaters one at a
time
wherever dry land is required Yeah right
do you really think that whatever's in
there could work on a whole river
look I'm just reading what's on the back
of the box hmm hmm well it wouldn't hurt
to try let's give it a shot
all right little water readers let's see
what you can do with this big river
didn't work what a drag I told you so
why would Tom give us something for free
that he could have charged us for hold
on a sec look over there
I can't believe it's working look at all
that water from the river being sucked
up inside it
is incredible
looks like some sort of magic crystal
that's drawing up the water that's great
now there's dry land in the middle of
the river with these we should be able
to get across what do you guys really
think we should put this much faith in
something we got at Toms shop what's the
matter are you scared your hair's going
to get wet I'm not scared of anything Oh
watch your step
yeah it's slippery it's a little muddy
but not too bad considering it was just
under water a minute ago
hey Lee why don't you throw another one
okay
I still can't get over it yeah doesn't
seem possible
thanks to those water heaters we'll be
cross in no time the problem is there's
only a few of these things left I'm not
even sure we have enough to get to the
other side Oh what's wrong with you it's
a little late to be telling us this now
what was that the pillars are all
collapsing
we're gonna be drowned yet moving
in the fine print it warns that they're
effective for only one hour what you
know maybe you should have rent out
while you're still on bright brown
forget about that we've gotta hurry
don't look back
Wow we were really lucky that could have
been the end yeah somehow the Bell must
have protected us is that what you think
oh yeah nothing like nearly drowning to
make you feel protected well we all made
it across alive didn't we don't know
about you guys but I'm tired I'm pretty
hungry too we never did get anything to
eat I could fall asleep in a heartbeat
but we're so close to the city of rats
you've got to be kidding me you want to
go there right now I don't think we have
time to rest I don't get it what's the
difference if we get there tonight or
tomorrow we're so close to where the
third gem is hidden I'd have thought
you'd want to hurry too what's the point
of the whole thing anyway
I mean is something really gonna happen
when we get all the gems what do you
mean by that exactly what I just asked
you do you know what's gonna happen when
we get all the gems sort of come on
let's all have something to eat I'm so
hungry I could probably eat an entire
mudlick and I want to dry my clothes too
Hey hang on a sec leave didn't you say
we ended up buying some of those
fire-making beads at Toms shop maybe we
should give him a try I've had enough of
Tom's stuff come on I don't think it'll
harm us those water eaters actually
really helped us out the only reason we
nearly drowned was because some genius
didn't read the instructions all the way
through before using them all right fine
let's see here it says to ignite bead
strike with a hard object
oh wow look at that it actually worked
that's really amazing now I wonder what
will happen if I add another one this is
great at this rate our clothes will be
dry in no time
Haley why don't you break out those
no-bake things I bet they'd really hit
the spot
here you go do you really think that
those little crackers are gonna be
enough for all of us they're supposed to
become loaves of bread by adding water
like bread soup you think this will be
enough hmm
and we'll use that cleansing powder we
shouldn't take any chances with the
bread and we can always drink whatever's
left over look at that the water
instantly cleared up now I'll just try a
few drops oh yeah it totally worked
fantastic looks like we're not going to
bed hungry tonight hmm our only great
cook yeah tastes like it just came out
of an oven
What's Wrong Lee aren't you gonna have
some I'm not hungry Thanks is the baby
being stubborn now whatever I said I
don't want any I think your stomach
disagrees would you stop being such a
know-it-all here come on leave you have
to eat something
I don't really like Tom either but
there's nothing wrong with the goods he
sells come on you wouldn't want to get
any skinnier lief just eat Tom's bread
okay
something's coming this way
those are crap what rats yeah and
there's so many of them we'd better run
but where to the river our only chance
is to get into the water good idea and
we should put on the rock the char
uniforms too
I've never seen so many rats in my whole
life let's not stand around here
more and more food coming but just know
in Jesus
hey rich is the fire beads
it's working
you know you're still coming head
upstream we'll use the wall of fire as a
shield good drinking
this is the last one
please no more it seems that those
Rockets our uniforms have saved our
lives once again I guess even the rats
can't stand the poison of that weird
fungus
clean noradzir wasn't it why bring that
up I don't want to ever hear that again
maybe it means something else cuz then
they do this don't they almost like
they're swatting rats off their bodies
what are you getting at Leif
I think NORAD's used to be a part of the
city of rats but when the rats took over
the people got so scared that they ended
up deserting it what makes you say that
that symbol up there
it looks a lot like the one we saw all
over the place in NORAD's Yeah right I
remember seeing it before maybe that's
why they were afraid of Philly he does
look a bit like a rat that would explain
why they're so obsessed with keeping
everything clean it was to keep the rats
away the rocket cars were able to fight
the rats because they wore those red
suits that's why the people of NORAD's
believes are all-powerful and then the
rocket chars became the leaders when
they fled I never would have thought of
it but what you're saying is making a
lot of sense but the worst thing is we
know that the rocket chars are servants
of the Shadow Lord
so NORAD's was saved by the Shadow Lord
not the rocket chars
I bet the reason they're so strict is
because the Shadow Lord doesn't want
them to know the truth about their past
I think we should wear these when we
enter the city of the rats agreed I'm
sure they'll be swarming all over the
place once we get in there
are you guys are really still planning
on going into that city after what we've
just been through
of course we are we know for sure that
the third gem is hidden there I'm sorry
but I can't help you with this quest of
yours anymore hmm I thought about it and
it looks like this is where you guys
carry on without me
but jasmine
Jazmin decides she isn't gonna continue
the quest with us
so Barda and I go without her into the
city of the rats next thing I know was
fighting Riya the guardian of the third
gem
next episode the king of the rats
