The Adventure Begins: Finding the Pirran Pipe
After defeating the evil Shadow Lord, the land of Deltora is finally free. But there's a big problem! Thousands of Deltoran people are still trapped. They are held captive in the Shadowlands, a scary and mysterious place. To rescue them, Lief, Barda, and Jasmine must find a special item. It's called the Pirran Pipe. This pipe is the only weapon the Shadow Lord truly fears.
The three heroes begin their dangerous quest. They are searching for pieces of the broken Pirran Pipe. During their journey, they face a terrifying creature known as The Fear.
Facing The Fear
The Fear is a giant creature that looks like a huge squid or mollusk. It has a hard, rocky shell and a sharp, tearing beak. Lief, Jasmine, and Barda bravely battle this monster. They try their best, but they can't defeat it alone.
Suddenly, Glock of the Jalis tribe appears. He is a brave warrior. Glock manages to stab his sword deep into The Fear's throat. This heroic act finally kills the monster. Sadly, Glock dies shortly after his brave deed. He is buried on Plume Island, among the graves of past leaders of the Plume tribe.
Main Characters of the Quest
Who is Lief?
Lief is the main hero of the Deltora Quest series. When he was a child, Lief explored the streets of Del. This helped him become smart and skillful for his future adventures. On his sixteenth birthday, he learned about a dangerous quest. He had to find the lost gems of the Belt of Deltora.
After finding all the gems, the Shadow Lord was defeated. Lief then discovered he was the true heir to the throne. He became the new king of Deltora.
Who is Barda?
Barda was a guard at the king's palace. This was before the Shadow Lord attacked Deltora. Sixteen years before the story begins, Barda was asked to help the king. His mission was to find the lost gems of Deltora.
Barda disguised himself as a beggar. This allowed him to gather important information for the quest. When Lief turned sixteen, Barda revealed his true identity. Together, they began the quest for the gems of Deltora.
Who is Jasmine?
Jasmine is a wild and brave girl. She has wild black hair and bright emerald green eyes. Jasmine grew up in the mysterious Forests of Silence. This is where Lief and Barda first met her.
Jasmine can understand the language of trees and many animals. She also has incredibly sharp senses. However, she sometimes finds it hard to understand human social customs. Jasmine is often seen with her raven, Kree, and a small mouse-like creature named Filli. Like Lief, she can sometimes have a quick temper. After helping Lief and Barda in the forest, she joined them on their search for the lost gems.
