Leos POV

We had been walking for hours and it seemed that we werent getting anywhere.

"I wonder how much farther we have to go before we find the waterfall," I said.

"Who knows, we have been walking for who knows how long and im getting sick of it," Aeris said.

We continued to walk down the path, we passed some trees, some more trees, and finally more trees.

"I am going to be really mad if that masked man lied about the waterfall," Aeris said as we turned right down the path.

I started to think about the maksed man with this comment.

"Hey Aeris, What do you think about this masked man?" I asked her.

"What do you mean?" she asked back.

"I mean like, who do you think he is or why he picked us to help him? stuff like that," I said.

"I dont know," she said," he hasnt even given us his name and he has this uncanny ability to appear out of nowhere."

"He also has that strange ability to enter into my dreams and speak some strange things," I said.

"Wait," Aeris said as she stopped on the path,"he has been in your dreams?"

"O ya he went into my dream when we first entered this place,"

"What did he say?" Aeris asked.

"He said that this world was a dangerous place and asked me if I was prepared for what I had to do," I wanted to tell he about hislove question but I couldnt bring myself to say anything about it.

"He was in my dreams while I was asleep in the cave," Aeris said.

"Really what did he say?" I asked her.

"He said that time was running out and I had to hurry and make my choice," she said.

I seemed she was leaving something out but I didnt say anything about it.

"He also had this with him and when I woke up it was beside me," she said as she pulled out a book.

"Hey isnt that you journal? How did he get it?" I asked.

"I dont know," she said as we continued to walk.

As we walk Aeris keep looking down at her journal, I wanted to say something but I couldnt think of anything to say.

I looked up and saw an awesome sight,"Aeris look," I said.

She looked up and saw what I saw,"The waterfall!"

We ran towards the waterfall and when we got to the edge of the water we stopped and looked around.

"Where is he?" Aeris asked as she looked around.

"I dont know, he said he would be here," I said. I continued to look around when I saw something in the water,"Aeris look in the water."

She looked at the water and saw the bubbles rising to the top,"Do you think that is him?" she asked.

"Only one way to find out," I said as I stepped towards the water.

"Leo wait, we dont know what lives in the water," but it was to late.

Something lunged out of the water sending water everywhere.

Aeris POV

Water was falling everywhere and I could see Leo anymore.

"Leo?" I said as I looked around.

Suddenly something shot out of the water again, I jumoed back and knotched an arrow into my bow. I looked up and saw what had jumped out of the water, it was a huge blue water dragon. I fired an arrow at its head but my arrow went straight through it.

"What?" I said as I fired another arrow and it, like the first, went straight through it.

I looked at the dragon again and then I relized why my arrows werent working, it was made of water. I looked up and down the dragon and when I saw the middle of the dragon I found out where Leo went. He was inside the dragon and he was drowning, I started to freak out because I didnt know what to do, then I got an idea. I knotched another arrow and aimed at Leo,"Please dont let my aim fail," I said as i fried the arrow.

The arrow flew through the air and through the dragon right into Leo's jacket. The force caused him to fly out of the dragon and hit a tree a few feet away. I saw him look at his body and grab the arrow, he turned around and relized that the arrow only hit his jacket and not him.

"Thanks Aeris," he said as he pulled out the arrow.

"Dont thank me yet, we still have to kill this thing," I said running to Leo.

"I have an idea," He said as I got to him.

"What is it?" I asked.

"The masked man did this when he save me," Leo said as he pulled out his sword.

He held the sword in both hands and started to concentrate,"Leo what are you doing?" I asked.

The sword started to glow and then a beam shot out of the sword, the beam headed towards the dragon but it dodged it. Leo ran towards the dragon and swung his sword with all his might. The beam expanded and hit the dragon causing it to split in half and send water flying everywhere. Leo was now soaked and he was smiling as he walked back to me.

"You've got to admit that was pretty cool," he said.

"Show off," I said as I playfully hit him on the arm.

I looked over to the waterfall and noticed something on top of it.

"Leo, look whos here," I said.

He turned around and looked and saw the masked man on top of the water fall. The maskedman jumped down and landed in front of us.

"It is time for a talk," I said.
