Sword of Mana/Heroine/Cascade Cottage
From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki
After having been briefly interrupted by Niccolo return to Cascade Cottage. The route is pretty linear so you shouldn't get lost.
On entering the cottage you'll meet with the boy you met in the meadow. After a long conversation the boy will learn how to use magic and asks to tag along with you to Wendel. Since the cave entrance to Wendel is still sealed you'll need to visit Vinquette Hall first to convince the count to unseal the entrance. The route to the Batmo Cave is pretty straightforward, as you try to leave the boy will teach you how to jump. Go back to the previous area, pick up the Gumdrop from the chest, then go east again and jump up the ledge to access the new area and follow it round to Batmo Cave and a save point.
