Li'l Cactus

Upon learning that Bud was sick, Li'l Cactus took on himself to gather the necessary ingredients to make a cure for the ailing apprentice. He first went to Luon Highway to ask Gaia on how to make a potion, then went to follow the Wisdom's advice to ask Selkie deep within the Jungle. There, he learns that this rare illness is caught by mages every once in a while and refers the spiky creature to Brownie the student in Geo who just went over this ailment. There, the young magician tells the cactus he drank a potion he got from David the pirate penguin. He finds the pirate on the SS Buccaneer who gives him the medicine. He then calls on Amalette the mail carrier to fly all the way back to the main character's home to give the potion to Bud.
