Round 1, Poll 13: The Babysitter’s Club vs Deltora Quest

[uh-oh-its-bird]

Reminiscing ab Deltora Quest to my friends who've never read it like. Yeah they almost get eaten by a forest monster. And also some spooky monsters in the woods. And some more spooky monsters in the woods. And a frog. And there was this cool tree that made fruit that would paralyze you when you ate it (so another monster could come eat you)

Honestly I'm actually forgetting more than a few but getting eaten was like Emily Rodda's favorite threat to throw at the heroes. Like by a lot.

“Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and time again off-course, once he had plundered the hallow heights of Troy.”

- The Odyssey, translated by Robert Fagles

[Image ID: From left to right is Sharn, Endon, and Lief. The border around the drawing is gold, divided into three sections and shapes with different shades of warm colors scattered around. On a dark blue backdrop, Sharn is wearing a light purple dress and a silver belt at her waist. One hand is level with the belt and the other is raised slightly, close to her face. She is looking to the right, a strained expression on her face. Her eyes are hazel and her skin is pale. In the middle with a dark red background is Endon. He has brown skin and is wearing a dark cloak with a dull green shirt, dark brown pants, and a grey belt. His eyes are brown and his salt-and-pepper hair is curly and long and tied back. He is wearing arm guards and his hands are held close to his chest. He is looking upwards, his teeth bared. Beside him with a grayish-yellow background is Lief, with brown skin and dark curly hair down just past his chin. He is wearing a light-colored shirt underneath a green tunic, with leather pants and a yellow belt. His body is turned slightly to the right and he is gripping a sword, looking ahead with a determined expression. /End ID]

Roddacember 2023 - 17: Solution

For this Roddacember prompt, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the fact that, for a moment, the DQ trio genuinely thought the solution to the Guardian of the Valley of the Lost's puzzle, and therefore his name, was Eedoe.

Eedoe.

[madrone33]

So, I've been re-reading the Deltora Quest books for the first time in years because my obsession with them has recently been revived (just finished Valley of the Lost), and man, I don't think I realised before just how, like, absolutely devoted Lief is to getting rid of the Shadow Lord and freeing Deltora. It's especially apparent in the first few books.

The Belt is basically all that matters to him. Not even finding the Heir is more important, honestly the heir is very much secondary to the Belt. They're just the person who will put on and activate the Belt's magic; they are a means to an end. His own life is secondary to the Belt - which isn't to say he's not afraid of dying, he really really is, but when shit gets real and it looks like this is the end, his thoughts almost always go to the Belt. Just like the heir, Lief thinks of himself as a means to an end. (Which is ironic, seeing as how he is the heir.) Lief will make the Belt, and the heir will wear the Belt, but it's the Belt itself that matters most to him. Because it's the Belt that will save them.

'Do not worry about me,' Lief whispered, trying to keep his voice steady and calm. 'Nothing matters but that we seize the gem. If I die in the attempt, it will not be your fault. You must take the Belt from my body and go on alone, as you have wished.'

I must prepare myself for death, Lief thought. But he could only think of the Belt around his waist. If he was killed here, the Belt would lie forgotten with his bones. The gems would never be restored to it. The heir to the throne of Deltora would never be found. The land would remain under the Shadow forever.

'No!' Lief cried. 'Wait!' At this moment of terror, his one thought was for the Belt of Deltora and the topaz fixed to it. If he did nothing to prevent it, this golden eyed giant would surely find the Belt after he was dead, take it from his body- and perhaps give it to Thaegan. Then Deltora would be lost to the Shadow Lord forever. I must throw the Belt over the cliff, he thought desperately. I must make sure that Barda and Jasmine see me do it. Then they will have some chance of finding it again. If only I can delay him until I can do it...

[Literally just died] Lief felt himself pulled to his feet and slung over Barda's shoulder. His head was spinning. He wanted to cry out, 'What of the crown? The opal?' But then he was that the crown was in Barda's hand.

Lief's fingers felt for the clasp of the Belt he wore under his shirt. If necessary, he would unloose it and let it fall into the mud at the bottom of the stream. It would be better for it to lie there than for it to fall into the hands of the Shadow Lord again.

And maybe it didn't really hit me when I first read them 'cause I was approximately A Child, but it's really sinking in now just how bad things have been in Deltora for the last 16 years. When they talk about slavery and fighting arenas and brandings and starvation and executions in the streets. For some reason all these human atrocities are hitting home a lot more than before. It used to be the monsters that seemed the scariest, but now I can see that yes, the monsters are horrifying and traumatising and terrifying, but Lief and Barda and Jasmine continuously choose to keep going, they willingly put themselves through hell, because the Shadow Lord is worse.

Anyway, all this to say, Deltora really couldn't ask for a more selfless and loyal King that Lief. This kid is willing to die so many times over if it means his people are safe.

(The only thing he tends to go off mission for are his friends and family, but even then, I'm thinking of that part in Isle of the Dead where Laughing Jack holds Jasmine hostage and demand the Belt in return. And Lief refuses. Because his people must come first. And he knows Jasmine would never want him to betray their land for her. Like??? So many feels.)

'But we cannot knowingly leave someone at the mercy of the Granous!' Lief hissed. 'They will ask him their infernal riddles, and when he cannot answer them they will start biting off his fingers and toes. They will kill him, Jasmine!' 'Better that they kill a stranger than that they kill us,' Jasmine said. And Lief knew that she was repeating a lesson she had learned only too well in the terror that was the Forests of Silence. For a moment he hesitated. He knew that he should not let his heart rule his head in this. But then the piteous cry came again, followed by a scream of pure agony. 'No!' Lief breathed. He started forward. 'Wait! I will go back and fetch the guards,' said Barda, catching at his arm. Lief pulled himself free. 'There is no time for that!' he muttered. 'Come with me or not, as you like.' He began to run, and Jasmine and Barda followed, as he knew they would. DELTORA QUEST 3 Dragon's Nest Ch 7 Dragon Hunt

Okay just for my own curiosity....

shifting sands: if the sands shifting around don't bury you, you'll still have no idea where you are. there's a constant risk of being attacked by sand beasts that hide underneath the sand. the longer you stay there, the stronger a hum calling you to die in the centre becomes. you might be able to escape over the bordering wall if you don't get buried alive or eaten first

maze of the beast: a large partially flooded underground labyrinth. you can't rest for too long or the liquid dripping down the walls will solidify on your shoulders and trap you. you can't move too fast or the beast in question (giant slug) will sense your vibrations and trap you for later eating. you might be able to escape through a crack in the wall if you don't get eaten or trapped in them first

#deltora quest #emily rodda #personally i would hate both but at least in the shifting sands my bones will contribute to a bigass sculpture #adding descriptions in case people who havent read the books want to join in the fun! #final boss battles where the land itself is almost alive and the entity is too big to defeat in any meaningful way and will continue doing #its thing after you manage to escape my beloved
