Linneus returned to Barradin's estate
And discovered an enchanted cave.

He pruned more shrubs,
Collected their treasures,
Then took his Salvage Kit,

And refined an Iron Ingot from a hammer.

He pruned and crafted
And returned to Ascalon,
Whereupon he met one Arthur Ayala,
A weaponsmith, who,
In exchange for his crafting supplies,
Wrought him a handsome woodcutting axe.

Next, he ventured north,
In search of rarer shrubberies.

He espied a large woody growth,
Blocking a path

And felled it with ease.

Then, he...

...

...

He pruned many woody shrubs,
But became sore of limb,
And unlearned his second profession,
At the expense of some experience.

He then sought out Nente,
A masterful Ranger in Regent Valley.

Nente taught him to charm woodland critters,

And docilify their wild ways.

Thus proving his worth to Nente,
He learned the art of Rangery.

He found a home for the feline,
And tamed a young fowle,
Near the Abbey of Ashford.

And dubbed him Archy,
So his feathers would carry him
Swift as an arrow.

Linneus then traveled to the Faire of Foible
Nightwixt the snowy mountains.

He ventured forth,
And was struck with awe
When he saw a huge obelisk,

The abode of Aziure.
She taught him some spells,
In exchange for a brief errand.

Linneus returned to the Northlands,
And casted firey spells,
And felled the woody plants with ease.

He felled and felled,
Until he found a small potion,

Which he applied to his overcoat.

Finally, he returned to Regent Valley,
And took a seat upon a rocky outcropping.
He cut and sliced,

Until he had some lovely fibers.

He then wove a basket,
And filled it with apples,

And shared some with a young girl,
Mary Malone.
