S6 E17: Mongo

Realizing the creature can talk, Rou tries to engage it in a dialogue to avoid a fight. He makes his introductions of the group but the creature is not impressed that Eight is Rou’s friend, still mad that Eight hurt them. Rou continues to try and placate the creature and eventually learns that it has a name: Mongo. Mongo claims to have been ordered to guard the children, and gets clearly mad when Trix makes an attempt to get closer to the cages. As a truce has been brokered, Mongo allows Rou and Trix closer to the unconscious Eight. They help get Eight’s chest plate open so Cela can help heal them. Surprisingly, healing magic seems to work and little green leaves sprout from Eight’s darkwood core. Trix and Rou also notice something in Eight’s chest glow slightly from within the core. Eight reawakens and they’re able to share a reconciliation moment with Rou before Eight scolds Mongo for their role in keeping the children here. The group is told that Mongo only listens to “the boss” so they need to take up their concerns with The Dragon. When Trix tries to pass off that they outrank The Dragon, the lights go out and Erdir’s voice echoes in the chamber.
