Upon using the flying shoes, Ragnar is sent immediately to the abductor's tower. Healie is the first of many combative NPCs within the story.
Healie makes a valuable addition to Ragnar's solo-quest, as the Knight Captain himself knows no magic and relies solely on medicinal herbs to heal himself. Healie wishes to join Ragnar's quest in hopes of one day becoming a human. Within the cavernous tunnels, he also meets up with Healie, one of the jellyfish-like Healer creatures. Inside are the Flying Shoes, a key item in Ragnar's quest for the miss ing children. The same voice leads him through the tunnel until he arrives in a small cave with a single treasure chest surrounded by a small river of water. After a voice beckons him to jump, Ragnar finds himself in a long passageway, split in several directions. Ragnar makes his way into the woods, finding nothing but a well.
