my name's Lee I'm on a quest to save
Deltora I've been to the most dangerous
corners of the land to get the Topaz the
Ruby and the opal oh come on don't you
think you're exaggerating slightly
jasmine I mean how many times did I have
to save your butt I helped a bit - Barda
Oh
filli Kree okay it's true I never would
have gotten this far without my friends
but we've still got four more gems to
find next up
the shifting sands
you
ladies and gentlemen allow me to
introduce to you this year's
semi-finalists here's to Narita
and left with not least birdie
I still can't believe that out of the
three of us she's the one up there the
problem is I kind of won oh you're
telling me that you beat orwen but you
wanted to lose after Leafs match Orin
was so angry that he attacked Glock he
was disqualified so I won by default
which means I guess I've got to continue
fighting in these dumb games so you and
I lost our matches even though we fought
as hard as we could and she wanted to
lose her match on purpose but ended up
winning it by default I'd say that's
pretty ironic
yeah but I'm worried about her this
means that now she's either gonna be
against narita who's really fast or doom
even you couldn't beat or that monster
of a man Glock instead of worrying about
who's gonna win let's just hope that she
doesn't seriously hurt herself true
would you like to have some energizing
queen bee nectar before the match thanks
kid hey what's wrong with you why are
you serving that loser first yeah
everybody knows that I'm gonna win the
championship this year
get it be smart of you to show me some
respect kid or else you just might get
hurt
good I'm sorry it's all right don't
worry de there's no need for you to be
afraid of him hmm
ladies Thanks this is perfect
I've been really thirsty since beating
that last guy uh no thing I'd rather
just have some water instead of that
stuff but waters not gonna give you the
energy you need to fight look I really
don't like queen bee nectar ball what's
it matter anyway you could drink a
gallon of that stuff and you'd still be
puny wouldn't you if you come up against
me I'm gonna squash you like an insect
you got that birdie
the drink
must have been spiked with something
yeah Oh was that little punk
oh this can't be happening
it's Treacher
look at that glork and Narita are down
before the match has even started what
just happened out there the boy with the
nectar is gone
you did that didn't you you know the boy
who offered us those drinks I saw you
talking to him before don't be foolish
little girl I can't believe what a
coward you are
instead of fighting like a man you
drugged your competitors you've got an
active imagination
you know I'm right
do you think doom actually did that it'd
be such an obvious move I wonder if the
them call off the games because of this
it has been determined that Narita and
block have been drugged by a sleeping
potion somehow slipped into their
pre-match drinks and are therefore no
longer able to continue the competition
however the council has discussed the
matter and come to a decision
the two remaining competitors doom and
birdie will now fight for the
championship
it's not fair unfortunately they're up
against the wall because pulling the
match would only anger the crowd and
make things worse and they worked up
enough as it is it's better to keep the
matches going calm everyone down too bad
for you I don't like that awful nectar
cuz now you're gonna have to fight me
and I don't plan on making it easy for
you
you thought you were so smart and had
everything worked out do you well I hate
to burst your bubble but you messed up
you may be right let's wait and see how
smart I am
let the fight begin
he's so cold it's weird
you're in Milan I just don't get it
I know he's up to something she's in
trouble
Jasmine's not herself it's almost as if
she's afraid of him
you think so she's just fighting
defensively true but that's because
there's something very distracting about
doom I couldn't figure it out before but
now I think I know exactly what it is he
fights like a madman he couldn't care
less what happens to him even if he's
injured or worse it's like he's got
nothing to lose gonna miss sweetness
this is so entertaining watch a little
birdie you might get dropped
hey what's taking you so long
come on she's just a little girl finish
your already what's your problem I think
we're beginning to see what really draws
all these people to the rithmere games
what are you talking about sadly the
only reason these people come here is to
see somebody get a good thrashing that's
horrible
there's a true art to combat it consists
of a person strength mental quickness
and overall agility but these people
don't care at all they're not the least
bit interested in any of that
you're scared I can see it in your eyes
just see that it did why don't you just
do us all a favor and run home so you
can hide your head and your mama's lap
what does he know about my mom
you have no idea what I've been through
we are tired I can tell by the way you
hold your weapon or stash we are too old
for this you're worn out because there
wasn't enough time for you to take your
neck between matches hmm
old man old man come and catch me if you
can all right way to go birdie oh yeah
keep it up birdie
- yow wow it looks like Jasmine might
just win the match
what's the matter leave it's almost like
I don't know that person in the room all
right it's not like
how are you feeling now do birdy behind
you look behind you
it looks like he tricked her exactly
he's cornered a bit by bit she didn't
notice cuz she was concentrating on your
attacks oh I just love it
what a dramatic turn of events for doom
this is precisely what I wanted to see
you've got a trap no give it to her
you got a punish her only you forfeit in
your dreams I am not letting you win
this thing is that so where do you think
you're going this isn't good I got you
now
what
Oh
knock on I let a little girl
beat beat
looks like you're the one who's tired
now
I think it's time we put an end to all
this the same thing won't work twice
this isn't good
he already knows I was planning to jump
goody goody gumdrops looks like it's
time for the grand finale
and the champion of this year's rithmere
games is
I'm in heaven
that was pretty close yeah they've got a
little touch-and-go there
wait so you're saying all those gold
coins are for me it's the prize you
receive when you're the champion
so it's all over for another year and
what a finale
now we really have cause to celebrate
please eat your heart's content
today was filled with so much
nail-biting tension
I mean first Oran completely lost his
wits and then the drinks were spiked
there was no telling what was going to
happen next but that final match sublime
it really was the most marvelous fight
I've seen in a long time you must be so
proud my dear you're a very popular
champion there is nothing the crowd
likes better than agility beating
strength hmm what's this you don't seem
to be happy at all you must be exhausted
well then I shall devote all of my
cooking talent to create a meal for you
that will give you strength that's the
kind of special service of champion
deserves you were great out there
jasmine I'd say amazing I think we
should stay and have a good night's
sleep
we'll set out tomorrow morning when
you've rested up no it's fine
I'm not tired hmm I'm just disappointed
in myself well you shouldn't be doom was
a strong opponent you fought fairly and
beat him you're allowed to be happy
about that I agree I tried my very best
and I couldn't defeat him
but somehow you were able to that's true
but I'm still embarrassed doom teased me
about my mom and I lost it even though I
knew the whole time he was doing it so
I'd get angry and stopped thinking
clearly and I fell for it
I don't know what came over me I
wouldn't beat myself up over it if I
were you anybody would react that way if
their opponent brought up stuff like
that in the heat of battle at the end of
the day doom lost a new one Jasmine
that's that there's nothing else to it
right anyway I want to get out of this
town as fast as we can here please have
some of my special pie it'll make you
feel a lot better
personally I'm please do one doom was
such a disdainful man it's good to see
something like that Guinness comeuppance
I'm certain he's the one who drugged the
nectar
he disappeared as soon as he woke he
didn't even take his prize money surely
this shows he has a guilty conscience so
Howard Glock and Narita doing are they
alright both sleeping like babies I
don't think they'll be able to leave
tomorrow
they're going to be so disappointed when
they find that the games are over
actually I'm sad that they're finished -
speaking of leaving mother brightly we
were hoping to get out of town as soon
as we finished eating what but the Sun
will be going down
besides birdie must be extremely tired
you should rest before you start your
long journey oh you don't have to worry
about me I'm sure I'll be fine once I've
had some of this scrumptious looking
food you made we appreciate your concern
but we're actually in a bit of a hurry
to leave well if you insist I won't
force you at your choice after all oh I
almost forgot before we leave riff Mayer
we need to buy some supplies for our
journey can you recommend a good store
for us to go 200 i sell everything
you'll ever need you don't have to go
any further than right here Wow perfect
you were right I think we will find
everything we need Thanks Oh
look so warm I bet I'll be able to stick
all my stuff into this bag thanks to all
of you
no no thank you mother brightly ever
since we arrived here you've been so
good to us
goodbye one last thing it's hard for me
to say this I don't like to spread bad
rumors about the games or rithmere but
the truth is they're something I think
the three of you deserve to know I don't
understand
what are you saying mother brightly the
fact is it's not uncommon for champions
and even minor Prize winners to run into
some kind of misfortune usually it
happens when they leave with me I see
you mean bandits hide and wait outside
of town to rob competitors of their
winnings mmm that's exactly what I mean
those gold coins are a great temptation
to a lot of people I'll bet they're
watching the end right now and know that
anyone leaving here is a prize winner
they'll spot you outside these doors and
follow you until it's safe to attack
they're quite cunning at this because
they've been at it for many years there
is another way out to be in though the
nectar barrels are brought in that way
but few people know of it the back
street is narrow and usually deserted
you could slip out without anyone seeing
you easy is winking then I think it'd be
best if we leave that way thanks again
for your advice creep go on ahead and
wait for us outside ah mother brightly
you've been absolutely fantastic I don't
really know what to say you're by far
the best innkeeper I've ever met
this is the passageway the ceiling is
very low please watch your head so this
is where I say farewell and take good
care of yourselves thanks again bye
she's such a nice lady I wouldn't have
minded staying there another night I
don't care how nice she was the faster I
get out of this town the better I'll
feel besides we're on a quest remember
we can't afford to waste any more time
in rithmere the sooner we find the other
gems and get them back on the belt the
better yeah yeah I know well that door
must be the way out what the door's
locked
she didn't say anything about this why
would it be locked for maybe it's just
stuck cuz people don't use it much
you
