Leonard looked up when he heard a knock on his door. He glanced down at the white gauntlet in his hand before he called out.
"Come in!"
The door opened and Helena peered inside. He smiled at her and she smiled shyly back.
"Hello Leonard," She only stepped inside when he motioned for her to enter.
"Hey, did you need something?" Leonard asked as he tucked the dagger into its place on the gauntlet.
"Yes. I wanted to sh-Wait is that the White Knight's Ark?" Helena stopped midsentence to ask her question. She pointed at the gauntlet and dagger pair in confusion. Leonard nodded as he hooked the Ark to his belt. Everything felt right again now that he had the Ark back.
"When did you go to the castle to get it back?"
Leonard shrugged, "It's not important. Didn't you want to show me something?" Even though Helena hadn't finished her thought he could figure that's what she had wanted to say. Helena flushed lightly and nodded. She hurriedly pulled a pendant from her pocket.
She held it out to him.
"The insignia on this looks just like the one on your Ark…" Helena explained. "I just thought you should see it."
Leonard reached out and his fingers touched the pendant. A dazzling light exploded from the pendant. Helena let out a cry and put up her arms to shield her eyes. Leonard put up a hand to block the light as well. The White Knight's Ark detached itself from Leonard's belt and floated up next to the pendant.
The Ark and pendant pulsed, resonating with each other. The Ark glowed brightly and four multicolored lights shot out from it. After the lights subsided, the two artifacts fell to the floor.
"…what just happened?" Helena whispered as she stared at the pendant.
"I have no idea." Leonard slowly bent down and picked up the White Knight's Ark. He could still feel Wizel's presence. He picked up the pendant and handed it back to Helena.
"Maybe we should show this to Eldore," He suggested. When he mentioned the older man's name Helena blushed. Leonard smiled because he knew the reason for her embarrassment.
"…I guess we could…" Helena's voice was quiet once more. Leonard smiled at her.
"Since you like him so much it'll give you an excuse to talk to him."
Helena blushed deeply.
"Leonard! It's…just…I-I get so flustered when I'm…around him." Helena stammered. "Eldore must think I'm a fool… I never used to be like this around him." She sighed and sat down on the edge of Leonard's bed.
"Hey, come on!" Leonard took her hand and pulled her to her feet. "We have to tell him about this pendant and what just happened. If anyone would know what happened, it would be him. Come on!"
