Description
We try to be nice to puppy-men ever since they came, but they nothing but mean. We okay with them being dumb - they not do much harm. Now they mess with sacred shrines though. Sacred shrines not for messing with. The Great Stones are here from all the way back when the Great Ones made us. We wouldn't know what to do if the Great Mist Stone were hurt. Go to their camp to north... make puppy-men stop and not come back!

So some puppy-men come and smash blue crystals at Great Mist Stone! Lots of rain and lightning and badness... blue is wrong crystal for Great Mist Stone! Dumb puppy-men. After lightning, puppy-men stole big treasure we found in the sea-lake. We need treasure back to give to Great Mist Stone!
