Wakfu: Other-Dimensional Elementalist

Wakfu Part 13

As they fought,I push the bread monster back thanks to my wind as I periodically slice it apart with fire. I deflect one more attack before jumping into the air,spinning as fire gathers around me. I land with a falling axe kick,creating several claws of fire in front of me,slicing through the bread monster like butter.

Amalia:Yeah!!!

With a sigh,I stand up and see Yugo chasing after the dwarf. Although,as I was distracted,several pieces of the bread monster flew toward the grain store and begin to burn it.

Ninja Dwarf:*cackles* Thanks for your help little toe-balls!

She throws down a smoke bomb and disappears. Yugo dives into the smoke cloud,but hits the ground instead.

Baker:The grain store! We have to save it! It's full of golden wheat!

Kicking into action,I absorb the fire quickly and heal the wood beams with nature magic. It's not as strong as Sadida's nature magic,but it still gets the job done. Once the fire disappeared,the baker rushes into the grain store and checks his golden wheat as the building begins to repair itself.

Yugo:Percedal,why did you attack the baker? | Percedal:I don't know! He looked more dangerous than the other one! | Jake:I apologize for the fire. I thought the monster was done for when I burned it to pieces. | Baker:No,you did the right thing. Without all of your help,the monster would've destroyed everything. | Baker's wife:How can we thank you? What about breakfast? Would you like that?

Everyone cheers,so the Baker and his wife lead them into their home and starts cooking. The Baker,Xav,introduces himself as he starts putting down a dozen of bread filled dishes for us to feast on. Everyone held their amazement as they stare hungrily at the delicious food. After a word from Helene,Xav's wife,we all sat down and begin eating.

Yugo:I've never eaten such delicious bread! At the inn,the only thing my father didn't know how to make was good bread. | Ruel:Well at least you didn't have to be the guinea pig when he first tried,right?

Jake:*bites down some bread* Why did that white Dwarf attacked you? | Xav:He wanted to stop me from taking part of the compatition of course. | Helene:Every five years,the village organizes a competition to see who makes the best bread. The winner take theirs to the King of Bonta himself. | Yugo:Well I'm definitely going to vote for you Xav! Uh,you are going to take part,aren't you? | Xav:I got no chance in winning without my golden wheat flour,normal what flour just wouldn't cut it. That stale old crouton has really messed things up.

Helene:That's ridiculous. Se-- | Jake:Wait wait wait wait,hold up. You're saying the dwarf that attacked you with the monster is a he? | Xav:Yeah,I'm sure its my father Ratweasle. | Jake:I don't think it's him. | Xav:What,you too?! | Jake:I've met a couple dwarves in my time,and the white dwarf's voice sounded like an old woman. You sure its your old man? | Xav:I know its him!

With a shrug,I back off and continue eating the bread.

Xav:Besides,he'd do anything to be the best baker in the village. If you remember,he hatched a little scheme so he could get his hands on the purest water in the whole region! He knows perfectly well that the quality of bread depends on entirely of the quality of water used to make it,but this time,he won't get away with it!

Xav's daughter:It's grandpa Ratweasle!

She rushes outside and gives the familiar small white dwarf a hug.

Ratweasle:How is everyone? Say,who's been playing with matches then?

Xav:As if you didn't know! You're a butcher not a baker! Don't try to pull the dough over my eyes! You're just scared to face me in the competition! I'm warning you! You're gonna pay for all the damage you caused! | Ratweasle:Well he finally lost it! My son's brains has turned into flour!

A small weep was heard,and they turn around to see Xav's daughter with tears threatening her eyes. She eventually broke and let out a loud cry.

Helene:Enough! That's enough! Making the children cry,what a pair you are!

She brings the children inside and slammed the door,only leaving us all with angry stares at the duo.

Ratweasle:Well my son,rather you believe it or not,this has nothing to do with me. I can even give you flour and water if you want to take part of the competition. | Xav:No thank you. I don't need your charity. | Ratweasle:Is that all the thanks I get?

Xav didn't give him an answer as he starts walking back to his house.

Percedal:It's not exactly the happiest of homes,is it?

Xav:That old crouton has never forgiven me for wanting to start on my own. He wants me to make bread the same way he does. | Yugo:Really? How come? Is there more than one way to make bread? | Xav:What? Of course! Just like there are many ways of writing poetry or playing music. MY father is obsessed of making loaves with crunchy crusts,whereas I prefer them to be soft and tender in the inside.

Yugo:I understand! So it's the crunch and splendor of a beautiful crust against the soft of a smooth,delightfully warm dough! | Xav:That's exactly right Yugo. Your dad has an inn at the edge of Amakna,doesn't he? | Yugo:Yeah! And his specialty is gobbowl stew! It's not really like others stews because instead of simmering the meat--

Ruel:Here we go,he's starting to get to know the guy. I bet you that he'll go over here and say, "Hey guys! What do you think about lending a hand to someone who really needs help?" <(mimicking Yugo's voice) | Percedal:What?! And help him bake bread?! No thanks,I rather get some fighting done! | Amalia:And what then? We'll end up fixing the problems of every single villager before we know it. | Evangyline:Watch out,he's coming! | Ruel:Ok,now look,this time,we don't give in. Stick together.

Yugo:Hey guys! What do you think about lending a hand to someone who really needs our help? (everyone shows their disagreements) If we can help them,we'll have a real bath and sleep on a real bed. (Amalia gives in) And maybe make a little money by selling some of his bread? (Ruel gives in) Right,I'm warning you,it's probably going to be super dangerous. Apparently,there are monsters,ᵃⁿᵈ ᵗʰᵉʸ'ʳᵉ ᵇᶦᵍ ᵒⁿᵉˢᵎ (Percedal gives in as Jake looks at Yugo with astonishment) So,what do you say? | Evangyline:What about me then? Don't I get a little sentence to win me over? | Yugo:No,it wouldn't work on you. You'd never fall for that. | Evangyline:*deadpan* He figured me out...

After that,Jake doubled over and let out a several loud laughs. This goes on for a good minute he finally calmed down on the ground.

Jake:Oh my god,that was good. Sure,I'll help him out Yugo.

Jake lets out some final chuckles.

Yugo:Thanks Jay!
