Myuria broke down in the Sanctuary, exhausted and broken. She had let Arumat down. For all she knew he was already dead. She hadn't found a cure and she had left him alone. Her sorrow leaked out of her in waves that rippled throughout the sanctuary.
The Sacred gems responded to her feelings and shined brightly once more. The Sacred gem of Might floated towards her and it reflected an image of Arumat in it's core.
Myuria gasped. "Arumat!!!" The man inside the gem looked all around himself, looking for the one who called out to him. "Can you hear me? It's Myuria!"
The image's eyes widened and he seemed to be yelling out something. But no sound came from him and his image slowly faded. Myuria grabbed hold of the gem and it shone her to blindness. The gem floated above high, her sisters joined her and collided with each other. A bright light shined throughout the Sanctuary as a beast of silvery hair, legs seemingly made of glass and wings of solid gold stood before her. The gem of Love encrusted into it's chest, the gem of Courage on it's back, 'Wisdom' shone on its forehead and 'Might' resided in its jaws.
"You who seeks knowledge…" Its thundering voice came forth as it bared it's fangs at Myuria. "What is it that you truly seek?" Shining red eyes stared down the Morphus.
The beast radiated with power that made Myuria shake to her very core, but at the possibility of extracting knowledge about Arumat's disease from the gems she steeled herself and stood up. "I want to save the man that you showed me earlier. I want to save him without destroying his body."
The gem of Wisdom shone and the beast spoke once more. "The Morphus know how to cure nearly any disease. If you want the man to be saved, why not use their methods?"
"He will have none of it. He's a fighter and wishes to live his life as he is." Myuria felt her chances at saving Arumat dwindling.
This time, the gem of Love shone brightly. "Her love is true my sisters, please I beg of you, lend her your knowledge!" All the gems on the beast started to shine and a single voice spoke to the Morphus.
"The Sacred Gems have consented to lending you our strenght. But in return, you must help save the planet that will save this man." The beast flapped it's gold wind, blasting a gust towards Myuria.
"Ungh!" She had to yell over the wind, she could hardly hold on to herself. "A Planet?!"
"Yes. Now go. I will go to this man and wait with him for you. You must hurry. I sense death's cold grip upon his soul. Not even we can predict when he will cease to live." And with that, the giant beast disappeared in a flash of light.
Myuria sat there in the empty Sanctuary, the words of the gems sinking in. 'Arumat… is going to die soon…?' She shook her head. 'Not if I can help it… I have to hurry' She dashed for Centropolis.

Giotto stood in 'Ex's chamber, as most of the time, pondering many things when Myuria barged in. "Giotto! I need a ship now!"
The sudden outburst caught him by surprise but he quickly straightened and kept a leveled head. "I'm afraid I need a valid excuse before I can give you one?"
"Look, if I don't hurry and get out of here I cant save someone I love. So please Giotto, could you trust me in this one?" The small, pale man looked at the taller woman and sighed.
"Well… I guess this one time I can let you slide without a proper explanation." Myuria smiled and hugged him tight then proceeded to dash to the docks. Giotto blushed a pretty pink to his cheeks. Ex chuckled at the scene. "What is it that you find funny Ex?" Giotto stared at the strange lights of Ex, awaiting a response.
"The gems are up to no good." Ex chuckled once more while Giotto remained puzzled.

Arumat was currently in a dusty, mostly dessert-like planet. He stood over a soldier that shook in fear before him. Not too far away he heard a scream and he looked at the man under him. "Is that a friend of yours?" The man hastily nodded his head and Arumat took off in the direction. "Hmph" 'The kid must've rubbed off on me.'
When he arrived at the scene, a giant silver haired beast that resembled a wolf towered over a cowering man. The beast's legs were glass-like and it had gold wings. Arumat quickly dashed towards the beast and warped behind it to blindside it. But before he could, it wrapped it's long steel tail around him, squeezing tight for him to drop his scythe. Arumat refused to let go of his weapon until he began to feel dizzy from lack of air. When he released his blades, it loosened its grip on him enough so that he could breathe. As soon as he caught his breath he yelled at the man. "Run! Now!" The fearful man stood up and ran for all he was worth.
Arumat hung his head. 'This is it huh…' After a few minutes of being wrapped in the steely beast's tail he began to wonder why it didn't finish him off, it just stood there in a battle stance, with him wrapped in its grip. "What… are you?"
"We are the sacred games of the Sanctuary" The beast responded without moving it's mouth or looking at him. Arumat's eyes widened.
"Aren't you supposed to be at the sanctuary then?" The beast roared a thunderous howl.
"We move destiny forward. The fate of a planet is in yours and our hands. For now we shall wait in quiet for the last member of this time." The wolf-like beast lied down on it's belly and released Arumat beside it. "Do not stray."
Arumat looked around and saw nothing but dessert storms. "Hmph, there's nowhere to go to."

"Myuria to Eldar's command center, do you read me?" Myuria stared at her ship's communications system for a few seconds before attempting to communicate again.
"Myuria to Eldar's command center, do you read me?!" Silence greeted her once more. She sighed and imputted a different comunication code.
"Myuria to Earth's command center. Do you read me?" She rested her forehead against the pannel after a few seconds of silence.
" This is Earth speaking. Identify yourself" The Morphus jolted upright and quickly responded.
"This is Myuria Tionysus of the Morphus. I wish to ask you about the position of the former Eldarian Battleship Commander, Arumat P. Thanatos." Her heartbeat beatted faster and faster by the second.
"Any and all information about any personnel, be it Earthling or Eldarian is clasified and cannot be given without the propper authorization." Myuria slumped into her seat once more and hung her head in defeat. Noises in the communicator attracter her attention and her eyes lit up at a familiar sight.
"This is Commander Kenny speaking. To what do we owe the honor of receiving a visit from one of our planetary heroes?" The commander smilled at the Morphus kindly and bowed to her.
Myuria bowed back. "Commander Kenny, i need to find one of those heroes who you speak so fondly of." Myuria's eyes shone brightly with hope. "Would you grant me the authorization to know where the former Eldarian Battleship Commander, Arumat P. Thanatos is?" She had to take a breath after finishing.
"Of course. After the disbanding of the Eldarian fleets he came to Earth, saying he needed something to do, and that peace didnt work for him. He wasnt the only one though. Many young Eldarians have joined Earth's forces. He quickly received a mission to a recently discovered planet on the far reaches of the universe.
Myuria groaned in frustration. "Of all the places he could've been, it had to be the ends of the world didn't it?" The commander chuckled at the Morphus expresion."Thank You, Commander." She finally smiled. "That would be all."
"Earth is glad to be of service to her allies." Kenny saluted her with a hand to his forehead. Myuria set a speedy course to the recently discovered planet and warped out of Earth's vecinity.
