Chapter 10: The Lost Stone

-Fox

I held still from shock as Fizz did from what we just heard. Did the elder just say what we think she said? I cleared my throat, looked over and down at Fizz to see what his body reaction was. He returned the action by looking up at me, our irises still glowing it seemed. He squinted a bit then returned his attention back to the Elder. Following his lead I returned my gaze to her, crossing my arms again to show a more serious gesture to the situation.

"What do you mean the Lunari are rising from the dead Elder?" I asked to her.

She turned her attention to me, grinning a bit from my reaction I guessed.

"Exactly as I said. Let me explain to you quickly the situation. You know of the so called ghosts that appear near one of our most popular water sources. You should also know that the young ones that have great courage have stayed by when the ghosts appeared to try and speak with them. Brave but stupid these young ones were." She went on to give us further details.

"Did they actually make contact Elder?" Fizz asked.

The woman looked over at Fizz and nodded a grave nod. She brought her left hand that was unoccupied up to scratch her chin, almost a nervous gesture.

"They did. The young ones said that the ghost spoke in a riddle, and once the young ones repeated the riddle like response to me, I knew immediately that I had to call upon the messengers of the Gods."

I squinted at the Elder, thinking that she actually believed her peoples own lie about us being Messengers of Gods. Then I looked down at myself, seeing how Fizz and I looked very questioning towards them, people who hadn't made contact to us in so long it seemed.

"Elder…do you truly believe us to be sent from the Gods?" I asked. The woman looked back at me, looking me up and down slowly, taking in all my effects and details that she could with those old eyes. After a short moment, she nodded her answer.

"I was told about the League of Messengers from the previous Elder that past just one year after you had contacted our people. The Elder is the only one that is allowed to know such secrets but it seems she didn't reveal everything of your origins that I thought she did. But it doesn't matter anymore because from this intense aura that surrounds you two, you might as well be divine beings." She responded, sadness in her voice. I felt sorry for the woman since she hadn't been told the full truth, but then again, at least she was told something.

"Then we are your messengers, thus we hear your call for our aid Wise one." Said Fizz, reaching out towards her with his left hand. In his mind he was looking for a hand shake but the Elder shakily got down on one of her knees, bowing her head and reaching forward to kiss his hand. Fizz froze from the gesture, confused even as was I at the motion. We did not think a woman of such experience would so easily bow down to so called messengers. Fizz looked to me as if asking what he should do but we couldn't shatter her way of life or how she was taught to teach such beings if she came across them. Even if it felt wrong to us, we couldn't stop their way of life to try and correct them.

She finally reached the back of his hand with her lips, pulling away after a few seconds and looking over to me as if to do the same as what she did to him. I'm sure it was hard to tell with the darkness showing but I was saddened to see someone belittle themselves in such a way just to try and ask a simple request. I held out my left hand with a feeling of guilt, soon feeling her warm kiss on the back of my hand. As soon as she pulled away, my hand shot back to my side ashamed and what just happened.

"Please dear messengers. Accept our request and solve our problem. I apologize for taking time out of your lives to help us but I have nowhere else to turn to." She said.

I was about to kneel down next to her to show that we were on the same level but as soon as the thought created itself in my head, Fizz denied it.

'You can't do that. To them we are like royalty. They think they're lower than us so we have to bear with it man.' Fizz said through our link of minds. I grinded my teeth, angry, but he was right.

"We accept Wise one, so please tell us of this riddle you mentioned earlier." I said to her, my voice going deeper than I wanted it to. The woman rose back up to her feet coughing slightly from the motioned it seemed.

"I am of those that have left the world too soon, waiting for the true face of the moon." Was all she said. Fizz and I waited a moment for her to continue but that seemed to be it. She got the Lunari from that small line?

"That was the riddle?" asked Fizz, just as confused as I was.

The Elder nodded towards us then revealed a smirk on her lips. "Strange, I know but that was all the riddle needed in order for me to know it was the Lunari. The true face of the moon is something the worshippers of the moon have been looking for." She explained. I brought my right hand up to my chin as I pondered what the face of the moon meant to them. I supported my right arm with my left hand by placing it under my elbow.

"Any idea what it means?" Fizz asked towards me. I didn't realize he was watching me. I looked down at him, then up at the moon that was using the clouds partially as covers like a blanket. The face of the moon…could it be the actual moons face? Is there something about it that should reveal its true nature? Then it hit me. I turned back to look at the Elder whom was watching me just as intently as Fizz was.

"When is the Winter Solstice Wise One?" I asked her. She had to think it over for a moment but pointed to a star in the sky with her staff that had the lantern on it.

"Seeing the way the stars are, it should be within the next couple of months." She told me. I looked back up at the stars, especially the ones next to the moon, only seeing the little blips of light that they actually were, nothing special about them struck me. I turned back towards the Elder and bowed my head slightly towards her.

"Thank you Wise One. All that we ask of you now is to point us towards the direction of the pool of water that this ghost keeps appearing at." I asked of her. She nodded with a smile on her face, turning to her right and pointing towards the side of the mountain, somewhere near the pass that we came here was at. Only thing was that you could see a small opening in the trees along with a glimmer from something that reflected the cold light of the moon. The rain didn't obscure the glimmer that much but it did its fair share.

I looked back at the Elder nodding my head one more time. "Thank you Wise One. We will confront the ghost so that they no longer interrupt you and your people's way of life." She bowed down once more but not going fully down on her knee. I shook my head a little wanting really badly to have her stand back up but Fizz poked at me in my head not to do it.

"Thank you messengers. We shall be forever grateful to you and the gods for this. Signal to us when you have resolved our problem so that we may give you offerings as thanks." She said, keeping her position. She reminded me of Yasuo at how much respect she was showing towards Fizz and me.

"We will Wise One. Keep a watchful eye out for the building behind us to show light and you shall know we wait to meet you once more." Said Fizz speaking towards the Elder for the second time this entire time.

"Now go and rest. We have a request to fulfill." I finished up, touching her shoulder, to let her know she may leave. As she rose back up slowly, she placed her hand onto mine gently and turned back towards her village. Fizz stepped closer to me, watching the Elder walk back down the slope as I did. I passed on through our synced minds for Fizz to give me his staff and jump up onto my shoulder, which he did the second I thought it. I felt him land onto my left shoulder, after which I grabbed his staff with my left hand and twirled it quickly so that it ended up with the prongs of the trident facing the ground and the end of the staff was near the back of my head. I quickly turned towards the location that the Elder had shown us where to go, preparing to use ghost in a way I haven't tried before. Fizz slid himself onto the middle of my upper back, grabbing the cloak and holding on as he saw my idea in my head. I hunched over, placing my right foot in front of me and whispering the incantations of both ghosts form of speed and as a transparency so that both of them were being activated at the same time. As I felt extra power from Fizz as he focused his energy into my legs, I made it so that as I pushed off with my left foot, I exploded into a run with ghost making me move faster than I have before. I felt the ground crack a bit from where it was when I first launched myself but it didn't make a sound except for the dirt moving and the grass bristling from the sudden movement.

As I rushed towards the scene of the ghosts, the rain at my back while I ran with it, Fizz held his grip and I picked up the pace. The surroundings flew by us as I continued to run faster, feeling the spell wear out quickly and I pushed even more so that we covered the most ground with what we had from the spells energy. After my last push which brought us flying past the entrance to the pass in the mountain, I got another good shove off with my right foot, jumping off the ground into the air, next whispering the runes for flash to go about 25 more feet. I crunched my legs in front of me, preparing to land, Fizz doing the same on my back. As the ground came closer, I straightened my legs, putting my right foot forward and feeling the ground slide underneath me. As I came to a complete stop, Fizz jumped off my back doing a front flip through the air to land next to me. I kicked off my left foot to turn towards him, twirling his staff until its end was in the ground and the prongs pointed at the sky. Fizz looked up at me, pulling his hood down revealing a smile on his face while reaching out to grab his staff.

"Well aren't you the fast one."

I shrugged pulling down my own hood, noticing that the rain had almost come to a stop. It was falling faintly now, the clouds giving up on their crying fit now coming to a sniffle. "It helped when you gave extra power into my legs."

"Yeah well, kinda something I guessed you wanted since its kinda how you told Sona and them to do it when you were teaching them how to activate the sync."

I nodded looking to our left where the pool of water was along with a small waterfall. That's weird…the waterfall wasn't really making the sound it should've from the size of it. Must be a natural wonder. I began walking towards it, but after one step I fell to my right knee. Whoa, that exhaustion came so fast.

"Whoa there! You alright man?" Fizz asked, coming to my right side. I nodded quickly to answer him so he didn't worry too much.

"Yeah, never tried activating two ghost spells at once. Guess this is the result. I'm gonna have to train myself on that." I summoned forth more energy to stand, once I was standing, I got myself set and started walking again. I was ready this time so I was walking more normally.

"Okay, so I'm guessing the plan is that we wait the next day for the ghost to show and see if we can somehow follow it to where it came from, right?" Fizz asked keeping up with my pace.

I gave a modest nod at his question, only following his lead. "Sure. I'm gonna sit back and let you do most of the calls, see how you adapt to the situation." Fizz smiles up towards me then turned his attention back towards the waterfall. He seemed to have had the same thoughts as me, the waterfall was just too quiet for its shape and size.

"Exactly that. It's buggin me." He said. Must've heard my thoughts. I folded my arms as I continued to watch him observe the scene in front of us. He looked up towards where the water was falling and I followed his gaze. The falling height of the water had to be about 100 feet. The tiny little groove in the Cliffside of the mountain was pretty small from the looks of it. That's when we saw a shimmer of light that was misplaced in nature. I tried to make out what the source of light was but I couldn't get a clear enough picture.

"Any idea what that light is up there?" I asked towards Fizz. He shook his head but didn't say any words. His attention was elsewhere, looking across the pond at yet another light at the opposite shore. This light wasn't from where light should be coming from, which is what gave the first initial shock. The light was in the shape of a person, just standing there either looking at the lake or looking back at us. We couldn't tell from where we were because the pond was actually pretty big in size, maybe 50 to 100 feet across. Its shape was circular for the most part, but it had a slight curve to it.

Fizz and I didn't say anything but I had to confirm this through our minds.

'Fizz?'

'Yeah?'

'I'm guessing that is our ghostly adversary?'

'Yours is as good as mine…what do we do?'

I took a step closer to the water as the figure started to move itself. It looked like it held out its hand so that it was over the water's surface. I squinted to try and see what it was holding in its hand but all I could make out was a bottle of some sort. I connected my sight with Fizz so he could get the view I was a give me his guess as to what it was in the ghosts hand. He just came to the same one I did.

'Is that thing about to do what I think it is?' He asked to me. I shook my head in unassured knowledge.

'Don't know, but we need to get over there and try to confront it for some answers before it does.' I responded. I gave Fizz my thoughts and he stabbed his trident into the ground, jumping off of it with skill as he usually did and onto my right shoulder. I grabbed the trident once more, readying it for my quick jump around the lake. I threw the trident at the ghostly figure and as it flew through the air, I crouched down, getting ready to jump into the air so that when I teleported to the staff while it was still in the air, I also jumped once the teleport was complete. It reached its arc in the sky and began to fall to the ground again, piercing the air easily and ready to embed itself into the earth. I watched carefully as the trident dove closer to the earth and I counted down quickly on the verge of my jump. It finally crossed the threshold of air I wanted it to and so I kicked off both my feet into a straight vertical jump, whispering the runes to teleport. The spell activated and in the blink of an eye, I was just over the other shore, above and next to the ghostly figure. The one thing I forgot to calculate was the momentum that would've been given to me from the speed the trident was going.

I was almost yanked forward with a jolt from the physics of the world doing its job. Fizz held his grip onto me which wasn't surprising since he probably had suction cups of some sort on his hands or whatever. We fell to the earth quickly and I braced myself for the impact, preparing to roll with the momentum of my body. My feet hit the ground and I rolled with it, feeling Fizz jump off just before I started to roll. I tumbled over myself a couple of times like a clown at a circus act and finally brought my feet back under me, sliding to a halt in the loose dirt near the water's edge. I looked back to see where Fizz landed and he was already on his feet, waiting for his trident to hit the dirt, which was less than a foot from where he was standing. It hit the ground with a solid 'thunk' and Fizz just yanked it out smoothly, rushing towards me and the ghostly figure I guessed. I turned my attention back towards the figure which hadn't stopped what it was doing for even a second.

Now that I was up close the figure, I could see why the villagers would call it a ghost, it had a mist effect coming off of it which was a basic altercation to the spell 'ghost' that I used at the league. The figure had on robes that had a feel to them, like the kind that Diana wore just without the armor she had. There was easily a trench coat feel to these robes the ghost had, like my jacket my champions had made for me, except there was a hood that the ghost had down. From the side, the ghost had no facial features but there was a symbol of some sort on its forehead, like Diana! Holy shit it was a Lunari ghost!

"Fox, the bottle! Look at the bottle!" screamed Fizz as he ran towards me. Oh shit I forgot. I looked at the bottle that was in the figures hand and saw that it was actually a physical bottle. In it was a green liquid that had a bluish tint to it, which could definitely be a poison.

"Hey! Don't put that into the water!" I called out, now making my own run at the ghost, trying to cover the rest of the distance between us. The ghost tilted the bottle to start pouring the liquid into the water but I held out my hand to direct a barrier spell around the bottle. As soon as the spell appeared, the liquid left the bottle and was catching itself into the spell. The ghost seemed to be startled by this because after it looked at the barrier spell, it turned towards me and Fizz. I lit my hand on fire with an ignite spell to try and appear threatening towards the ghost. Fizz came to stand at my right, his trident in both hands and pointed at the ghost. We held our ground with firm stances, ready to what we could against this apparition. It continued to look at us with its blank face not saying anything until it pulled its hand away from the bottle, leaving it to my spell. I pulled the bottle towards me, then compressing the barrier and crushing the bottle inside of it. I dispelled the barrier then let the liquid fall to the ground and be absorbed into it.

"What are you doing to the water here?" I asked the ghost. It continued to stand there without saying anything. Then without warning, the ghost knelt down, or gave the motion of doing so since it descended closer to the ground. I raised an eyebrow with curiosity, wondering why it was doing that.

"Uhm, what are you doing?" Asked Fizz this time.

For the first time, the ghost spoke. Its voice was weird because it had an echo to it, just like Aatrox's did. "We have been waiting for you." It said in a deep voice. I looked over and down at Fizz, major confusion showing on my face but also on his. We turned back towards the ghost, pushing further for answers as to what it meant.

"Who have you been waiting for?" I asked, eyebrow still raised in a questioning way.

The Lunari ghost lifted its head to look at me. "For you."

I looked at Fizz again quickly then back at the ghost with a more relaxed posture. "Why me?"

The Lunari then raised one of its hands and pointed it at me, or more specifically, my right arm. I looked down at it because it was covered up by my clothes but yet, the lunari still knew I had it.

"Your sealed power is calling out to me and I must answer it."

I was shocked, still looking at my arm. Was I finally going to get some answers towards who I was? I looked back up at the Lunari, dispelling my Ignite and getting into a neutral stance.

"Then answer it. Take me to the Moon Temple hidden here." I responded, trying to call out the obvious. The Lunari nodded slowly, more like a low bow of respect as an answer.

"This way, sir." It lead, turning towards the waterfall. I started following it before I felt a tug on my pant leg. I looked down to see Fizz pulling on it for me to stop. I did then saw him move in front of me quickly. He didn't say anything, just moved in front of me. I smiled at the motion, following in his steps which were hastened to keep up with the lunari ghost. We were led towards the waterfall, with the lunari ghost hovering over the water, which I paid no attention to, but as soon as Fizz took a step towards the water without hesitation, once his foot hit the surface, I expected to see him start to sink, the water absorbing him as it usually did whenever you stepped into it. What I saw was him do the same as the ghost, step onto its surface without it taking him in so that he was walking on water. I stopped for a moment wondering how that worked, but I was falling a couple of steps behind so I followed in their wake. As soon as my step hit the water, it followed as Fizz and the ghost had, walking on the surface. We were just a few feet from the quiet waterfall and as the lunari ghost approached it, the water started hitting an invisible bubble, thus giving us an archway that split the water falling onto it. Behind the waterfall was a hidden cave which was darkened in a way that would hide it even if you gave off an extreme source of light towards it. As Fizz walked through it, he turned to look back at me, which I was still wondering how the water was being split, but I shook myself out of my own thoughts and wonders and followed them again.

We walked in the cave for a moment with just the light from the lunari ghost. I brought up my right hand, igniting it with a familiar fire, linking with Fizz and connecting our minds. I requested some of his mana and he happily gave it to me, since we both didn't like confined places. The fire didn't give too much of an illumination on our surroundings which only made me guess that there was a type of magic here to keep it dark and hidden. We continued to walk for quite some time until the narrow cave opened up into a gigantic space. I couldn't see ten feet in front of me but the atmosphere given here, you could just tell that this room was giant. The lunari ghost stopped walking and turned towards us.

"So, where the hell are we?" I asked. The ghost raised its right hand pulling an invisible aura to its palm. It then closed its fist, opening it back up after a second then shooting a ball of light into the air. It went up a good 30 feet, was my guess to which it then split into several smaller balls of light shooting out in opposite directions of each other. They went out a bit and each split into smaller orbs of light to which those went into all directions and the process continued until there were maybe 50 or more small orbs of light around the room revealing to Fizz and I an enormous spiral tube. I looked around at the size of this place and wondered how this thing fit into the mountain. To our left we saw a huge smooth ramp rising towards an opening at the top, which was another hole into another narrow passage. What the hell was this room?

"We are at the trials of the land." Responded the ghost.

I continued to look around the room, seeing in the center was just a flat area with wildlife growing there. It looked like a garden with gorgeous flowers that I hadn't seen before and some that I had. There was a few mana flowers that I could identify and I actually saw a very rare moon flower that only bloomed at night resting amongst a vast amount of mana flowers. Diana wouldn't believe me if I told her how I got that if I did.

"How are you growing plants in such a dense and dark place?" Asked Fizz. Did he not hear my thoughts as I observed them? Maybe I should explain in words, possibly to get confirmation from the lunari.

"These aren't ordinary plants bud. From what I can see, those are all plants that require the moons light to grow and thrive." I said, looking at the lunari ghost, to which it nodded in confirmation.

"Indeed they are sir." It responded.

I pointed at the special flower that was closed to itself. The outside of the leaves were white with small blue streaks coming from the center of the bud, outwards onto the edges of the petal. "That one is especially rare, actually endangered as a flower from what I know. It's called a Lunabelle I think, which only blooms with light from the actual moon."

Fizz looked towards me, then back at the flower and tilted his head. "Why is it endangered? Just for that fact?"

I chuckled and shook my head. "No, not at all. It is almost like, an all in one flower. One petal on that flower alone, just one, can make 100,000 mana potions. The entire flower can make a million. It's extremely potent and since it grows with pure lunar light thus absorbing and converting that light into its own special type of nutrients, it is considered still a mystery flower because we still don't know its full potential. The Leagues scientist have been trying to research what they could from it to see if they could extend the use of the mana potions but they just have no clue what to do. All they know is that on a full moon night is when to pick it, cause that's when it's at its most potency." I explained. Fizz looked back at me, his mouth ajar and eyes wide with shock. I laughed a bit, while he looked back and forth from me to the flower.

"That little thing can make a million mana potions? THAT thing?!" He asked while pointing at it with his thumb. I nodded and smiled again.

"Funny how size matters huh?" I responded while looking back at the lunari. The lunari was nodding and took a step aside, raising his hand towards the center.

"As expected of you sir. Please embrace the flower in your hands and take it to the temple with us and through your trials."

"Oh yeah, you said I have to go through some Trials of the Earth? What is that?" I asked while walking towards the flower. I found some smooth stones that were placed around the plants so that I didn't step on any unseen wonders that might be growing. I stepped onto one more smooth stone that was actually really close to the Lunabelle flower, kneeling down onto my left knee and smoothly digging my hands onto each side of the flower. The earth was extremely soft yet hard, making it stable enough for the flower to grow but easy to move and find a place to replant it if need be. As my fingers reached into the earth I could feel the roots of the flower and continued to work around them so as to not rip a single root of the flower. After finding its ends I whispered a barrier spell to encompass the earth around its roots. I stood back up, turning back towards Fizz and the lunari. I stepped back onto the smooth stones, finagling getting back to where I was.

"Alright, that was easy." Fizz said. The lunari looked towards him.

"That was just a circumstance. The next trial comes now. Make your way to the second passageway, meet me there and we shall continue. You are not allowed to drop the flower and you must reach the passage in under five minutes." Said the lunari.

"Whoa, what's with the rules?" Asked Fizz.

"We have a schedule to keep but we also need to test your abilities sir, to make sure you are ready."

I raised an eyebrow. "Ready for what?"

The lunari turned its head towards me, giving me the feeling that it was smiling. "For what comes next."

My eyes shot wide open from the saying. This ghost worded what that figure in my head had said almost to the letter. I took a step forward about to question it further but it jumped into the air and teleported at the second passageway at the top of the ramp. Gods this lunari had some questions to answer so I really didn't have any time to waste. I synced with Fizz quickly, telling him to run next to me up the ramp, although the running wasn't necessary but I really needed some answers.

As we ran up the ramp, after just a few seconds Fizz called out. "This Trials of the Earth crap is real easy man!" After he said that, a huge thud hit somewhere above us, causing us to stop running a slow down to a brisk fastened walk. Coming around the bend of the ramp near the second passage way was a gigantic rock that covered the entire ramp width wise and at least 15 feet in height.

"Are you serious with this shit?!" Yelled Fizz. I began running through ways on how to get past in my head, first coming up with a way to flash behind it but it was too big to flash around. I could use teleport but I'd need something to teleport to. As the boulder continued to roll towards us at an incredible increasing speed, I brought the barrier spell to hover over my right hand and told Fizz to throw his trident just above the boulders height cap. He then jumped onto my back getting a good grip, afterwards realizing that with this jump I was going to need to use both hands, so I moved the flower to my back for Fizz to hold, explaining my plan to him in my head. He agreed, reaching out his right hand to get the spell. I felt him put more concentrated power of his into the spell to make it easier for me. I felt even more energy in my legs and could feel it coming from Fizz. Where was all this power coming from? I needed to ask that question later, so I applied the power and exploded into a sprint. The gap between the boulder and us was closing in and as soon as it was about ten feet from the trident in the wall, I jumped to the wall, running along it for a good five feet, my left hand against the wall as I ran it then I landed my right foot kicking off it with as much power as I could. As I flew a few feet through the air and the boulder was coming closer, it went just under the trident and I timed it just right as I said the runes to teleport, being whisked to the trident and grabbing onto it with both hands. I swung my weight from under me and swinging it forward so I flipped off the trident, but also yanking it free.

I landed on my feet pretty hard, but I held it, bending my knees to take away some of the shock. I felt Fizz jump off and walk next to me, holding the flower back up. I quickly grabbed it, and thanked him. Then we heard a weird sound. I looked back up the ramp to see if anything weird was going to fall again.

"Well, that was easier than I thought it was going to be." Fizz said.

I looked down at him with annoyed eyes and an irritated face. "Shut up Fizz. Last time you said that a big ass boulder came barreling at us. Stop jinxing us."

He gave a nervous smile. "Heh, my bad. But serious, it cannot get any worse from here." Then another weird sound came from behind us, another rocky type sound. Fizz and I turned our heads slowly to look behind us and we almost froze from what we saw. The boulder had stopped itself, and had slowly begun coming back towards us.

"You have got to be shitting me!" I yelled as I turned back and started running back up the ramp. Fizz kept his pace with me, as we continued up the ramp, still a couple of minutes to spare. We got some distance from the boulder as it climbed the ramp slowly behind us but that still doesn't explain the weird sound that came from in front of us before the boulder behind us started retreating.

"You see? Not that hard!" Fizz yelled out as we ran, yet again. That was when several smaller rocks coming down the ramp, had shown themselves. I looked at Fizz angrily again with his stupid jinx's on us.

"Dude, shut the fuck up with that!" I yelled. I was using up too much mana from this Trials of the Earth thing, so dodging these rocks was going to take a bit more. I moved the flower over into my left hand, reaching out with my right wanting Fizz to fist bump me so that we activated a full sync. I reached out with our simple connection to tell him that he should fist bump me and he did. Once more, the power flowed through us and our minds were one. I felt the power of his words coming up but now wasn't the time to use them, especially since I didn't feel a pull from them that forced me to say them. Suddenly, my eye sight became keener from having vision of another set of eyes, then we watched the rocks rolling down the ramp, some bouncing for some reason. As they neared, Fizz and I ran faster towards them, seeing the top of the ramp getting closer.

"Now!" I yelled, at which I tossed the flower forward, still keeping the barrier up and it out of harm. Fizz jumped after it, hurtling over the first rock out of 11 that we counted. I moved towards the wall, jumping off of it to avoid that same rock that moved towards me since it had more weight on one side and was rolling in a zig zag. I kicked off the wall, pulling my weight over me so I did a front flip over a ball that had just bounced. Fizz had moved his hand under the flower, taking hold of it and throwing it back towards me as I finished my front flip. I saw a rock bouncing, about to hit him at which I said the runes to 'ignite' and shot it forward, changing the trajectory of the rock just enough so that Fizz could kick off of it and jump over yet another rock. I landed on my feet, took a step with my left foot and jumped off that, vaulting another rock that was rolling, grabbing the flower and throwing it up for Fizz to get since he was still in front of me. I saw through his eyes two rocks coming at me, one above and one below, to which I changed my jump from a jump to a backflip. The rock just grazed my stomach as I pulled my legs the rest of the way and seeing another rock just under me, to which I stepped on and off quickly, seeing Fizz kick off the wall like I did then off the last bouncing rock and flipping sideways through the air so that he flipped over the flower, catching it with his prongs on his staff and throwing it back towards me. I caught it with ease and kept running with Fizz on my right. It wasn't long after that, that we had reached the top with the lunari ghost looking over us with its blank face.

Fizz was panting from the effort it seemed at which I pointed out in my head was the reason why I had them doing specific training to keep up with stuff like this. My breath hadn't escaped me but I was still a little tired from all the extra effort.

"46 seconds left. You have passed the second Trial of the Earth. Come sir, we shall go and do the final trial." Said the lunari ghost. I continued to walk with him, hearing Fizz still panting behind me, barely keeping up with me. We walked down a more lit passage, only walking for what seemed like a minute, Fizz still panting but not as much. He was at my left side now, matching my stride as we came upon a door.

"Whoa." Was all I could say because this thing was gorgeous. It was about eight feet high and had a full moon near the top, the crack between the two doors splitting it evenly. On the rest of the door was a mural of some sort, showing a scene of lone man kneeling in front of multiple giant figures. The one closest to the kneeling man was holding a circular object, which you didn't know what the object was cause there was a hole there. Literally a hole.

"This is your final Trial, sir." Said the lunari ghost. I looked at it then at Fizz who returned the look, then back at it.

"What is?" I asked.

"All you have to do is open the door with your hand." It said. I raised an eyebrow and squinted my right eye in disbelief.

"That's it?" I asked, the disbelief clear in my voice.

"That's it."

I looked at Fizz again, then at the door and around it. I started looking for any indications of traps but saw none. My attention turned back to the lunari ghost, half expecting to see a new evil smile on it that hadn't been there before but it was neutral yet again, just blank. I handed Fizz the flower again then moved forward towards the door. As I now stood in front of it, I looked at the scene once more before pushing on each door with my strength that I had. They didn't budge. I stopped and looked back at the ghost, seeing it watch me try.

"How the hell am I supposed to open it? Is there a spell I should know that opens it?" I asked but the ghost just stood there. It didn't give me an answer so I just rolled my eyes and returned to try and open the door, pushing on it in many ways and failing each time. After several attempts I gave up with a shrug and aggravated glance at the ghost. "This is stupid. How am I supposed to open that door which seems to be sealed with magic? Huh?" I yelled at the ghost. I leaned against the wall, expecting it to give me a hint here but none came. I looked up at the ceiling, shaking my head with annoyance and tried thinking of spells that involved unlocking things.

"What're you doing man?" I heard Fizz ask. I looked over at him and help up my hands in a 'don't know' gesture.

"Trying to open this stupid door, what do you think?"

"Well, it looks like your just leaning against it."

"That's cause I'm trying to think of spells that will open doors and unseal stuff, cause clearly I can't open it with physical force."

"That's not what the ghost said though. It said to open the door with your hand, not hands."

"So?"

"Sooooooo, the reason he brought us in here was because he saw or felt the tattoo on your arm. It's got a full moon on it at your shoulder doesn't it?" Fizz asked, at which I squinted, then looked down at my arm. I rolled up the sleeve on my arm all the way to past the shoulder, seeing my tattoo at its fullest. I turned over my arm, looking at it again and the moon on my shoulder did look like the one that was one this door. I looked at the hole in the door then back at my arm.

"Yeah, put your arm in the hole." Fizz said. I looked back at him with a glare but also a smirk since he was actually smart enough to come up with the small riddle the ghost gave to me. I moved towards the hole, looking at it and then my arm again, a bit worried that if I put my hand into the door that it won't give it back.

"Oh my gods, Fizz if I lose my arm, I'm beating you with it."

"Why? I didn't do anything? This'll be the easiest part of the-"He began to say but I cut him off.

"GAH, shut up! If you say 'that wasn't so bad' or 'this is going to be easy' and jinx us again, I'm slapping you a hundred times. And no, you won't see them coming." I said to get him quiet. He smirked and raised his hands in a false innocence.

"Okay."

I turned back around, flexing my hand momentarily before putting my hand into the hole, finishing working up the courage to do it. Before I freaked myself out too much, I put my hand in as far as it would go, eventually stopping as the hole took up my entire arm so my face was just about pressed against the door. I didn't feel anything weird inside the whole which was a good and bad thing. I sat there for a minute with nothing happening and shaking my head with disappointment.

"Well, this is anticlimactic." I said.

"Well, maybe there's a switch or something." Said Fizz. I looked back at him as best I could.

"Yeah, my arms in as far as it can go and I haven't felt anything buddy."

"Well, think of the lunar scrolls you've read and try to remember anything from them."

I shook my head and turned it back so that I was facing the door again. As I looked at the hole my arm was in, I noticed the lunar symbols going around it. Why hadn't I seen those before? I started to decipher them as I read them.

"The….the sound of earth…no, no…the sound of na-nature, sung with the words….of…man….shall open the door….to….to the secrets of….the walker of land?" I said as I unraveled the symbols. Some of them were new while others had been I had already seen and knew about. Thanks to Diana and that new scroll, I knew what the rest of these symbols were.

"What?" Asked Fizz. He probably didn't get it which was understandable.

"The sound of nature, sung with the words of man, shall open the door to the secrets of the walker of land. That's 'hat these symbols around the door say. They're pretty small so it's kinda hard to see em." There was a sound, no a tune from somewhere at a certain pitch that rang in the passage. I froze, looking around the door to see if reciting that actually did something, at which the runes that ran around the doors edges started to glow.

"Whoa….what did you do?"

"I just repeated what the symbols said."

"Hmmm…well, maybe that's cause you said something important. Maybe it wants you to like, sing. That weird sound sounded like a key note or something."

I looked back at Fizz a bit confused. "What do you mean?"

"Like, that tune or whatever we just heard, it sounded familiar. It must be like when a teacher or something is trying to get their students to like pick up their instruments and play or sing along or something like that." He explained. I had no idea what he was talking about but he yet again, might've been onto something. So I ran through some tunes that I heard over the years, but nothing involving the moon came to mind.

"That's where I've heard it!" Fizz yelled. I turned my head to look in his direction over my shoulder again.

"Huh?"

"Dude, your tune. The one you're always humming to yourself? It starts out with that same note we just heard." He said. Then it struck me. I was really related to these people? To the lunari? I woke up with this tattoo and just having that song in my head and having to sing it whenever I was bored or relaxing? It was for this door? Who the hell am I? I stopped with all the questions and started to sing the melody. There were no words to it, none that I knew of, but the song itself I knew. The more I sang, the more the door glowed. It started at the top where the moon was, slowly lighting itself up as I sang. The song went on and the door continued to glow, except for the figures that were holding my arm. As my melody came to an end, as soon as it was over and the door was fully lit, it rumbled. I felt something clamp my arm in place inside the hole and my worry shot through me like a bullet from Caitlyn's rifle. I tried pulling it out but it didn't budge. Then I felt something sharp pierce the inside groove of my arm and I screamed out from the sudden pain.

"What? What's happening Fox?" Yelled Fizz at me. I heard him moving towards me but as soon as the pain appeared it started to subside along with the clamps holding down my arm. I pulled my arm out and looked at where the pain was still throbbing. There was a small prick of blood trailing down the outside of my arm now, like a needle had pierced me.

"I was stabbed or something. Don't know just hurt like a bitch." I said to him. I placed my left hand over my arm where the wound was and said the runes to the spell 'heal'. It only took a second to heal something so small and with the wound going away, so did the pain. I reached down to Fizz to take the flower back, giving more mana to the spell of barrier. I looked back at the ghost which was now just a foot away from me. "You didn't say anything about a blood sample you prick."

"Congratulations, sir. You have passed all the Trials. Welcome to the Lunar Temple." As it said that, the doors rumbled and shook together, then started to open inwards. As they opened they revealed a pretty big room. There was a small river in the middle of it all, coming from one small tunnel and moving to the next with the sound of it falling of an edge. This must be the source of the waterfall that was outside the mountain. Around the room, there were scrolls rolled up and some unrolled up. The vegetation growing in small patches was being taken care of as the one down in that room was. Then right across from the door we just walked through, was an altar with a pile of scrolls on it. Then I noticed someone sitting behind it, reading a scroll. They didn't seem to notice us come in which it in itself should've been a surprise since I'm guessing not too many people come to temple.

I looked down at Fizz, and he was busy looking around the room frantically. I'm guessing he was looking for the moonstone. I just decided to walk towards the person since I'm sure they were the one that was going to give me there answers I wanted to hear. I jumped over the small river onto the side that had all the scrolls around in various places. There was a hole in the roof somehow, giving off light from the moon. There were torches around the room too but they didn't give off too much light it seemed. I walked a few steps to get up in front of the alter. As I looked at the altar, the runes around it became noticeable. They were like the runes around my wrists, I had no idea what they were and couldn't read them which just meant I'd have to come back to this temple as soon as I found out how to read them. The altar was a basic shape, probably rectangular but at each corner near the surface, there was points that shaped upwards towards the ceiling. In the center of the altars side that was facing me there was different symbols of the moon in different phases of its time in the sky. It started out as a basic circle then as it went towards the center, turned into a crescent moon, into a quarter moon and finally into a full moon at the center, then back into the previous stages until it was a new moon again at the other side.

"That's a pretty cool…symbolism or whatever you got there." I said out loud. I heard the paper of the scroll the person was reading crumple a bit. I looked towards them with a smirk on my face getting amusement from their shock. The scroll slowly moved down, revealing the person hidden behind it.

It was a man, one with glasses, slim and fitting for him. They made him look really smart. His complexion was one that looked familiar to me. His cheek bones didn't really pop out, his lips were small but still fit the size of his face. His grey eyes were a bit shocking but they had a slight glow to them. There was dark lines around his eyes like Diana had with thick eyebrows. His hair was silver like Diana's and pretty long it seemed, like he hadn't groomed it in months. It was spiky in the front, but towards the back was a badly made ponytail, kinda poofy like Yasuo's hair but less…big. He had on robes like the traditional summoners at the league but they were kind of boring. Wait, they were exactly like the robes the traditional summoners wore, just dark grey with purple linings around the wrists and the brim of his hood that was down. The final thing that I noticed was the outlines of a crescent moon on his forehead, like Diana's just not fully there.

His mouth was slightly ajar as he observed me before him. I raised my eyebrows then looked down at myself.

"What? Is there something on my clothes?" I asked. He just dropped the scroll, his hands staying where they were, literally just the scroll falling. His right eye twitched a bit, from shock or fear, I had no idea.

"So, I've got some questions for ya Lunari." I said. He jumped back in his seat, falling backwards onto the ground. I watched him fall then walked around the altar calming, looking at him lying there, grabbing the back of his head.

"God of the moon that hurt." He said. His voice was kinda deep, like mine but it had a slight squeak to it.

"Oh good, you do talk. That'll make this Q and A much easier." I said. He looked back up at me, scrambling to his feet. As soon as he stood up straight he started brushing himself off and rubbing and smacking his hands together to get rid of anything unwanted on them. Then he reached out his right hand towards me.

"Nice to meet you sir! I've been waiti- oh!" He said to himself really fast and in a nervous tone. He quickly took his hand back, placing it along his stomach then getting down onto one knee. "I apologize for the mess sir! I didn't expect you to arrive so soon or at all for that matter." He said in a still nervous tone. I shook my head quickly and reached down to him, touching his left shoulder with my right hand.

"Dude, get up. I'm not that important, at least not that I know of." I said. I heard some scrolls get knocked over, guessing Fizz was rummaging through some stuff still looking for the moonstone. The lunari looked up at me and stood back up, keeping his gaze from me, looking down at his hands.

"Well, since you actually got into the temple and got the approval and guidance of the temple guardian then that only means you're of royal lunari blood or someone reeeeeally important. I'm just a scholar so I'm paying my respects to you sir." He responded. I blinked a few times from the new stuff he just shed some light on here. I was of royal blood or really important? WHAT?!

"Wait, back it up, what do you mean royal lunari blood?" I asked. The lunari scholar looked up at me finally searching my eyes for the confusion that was surely there.

"Meaning you're either related to one of the ancient Lunari Star Priests or someone acknowledged by the lunari people and deemed worthy enough to be like a brother to our kind." He explained. I heard more scrolls get knocked over and thrown aside somewhere next to me. I held up my hand at the lunari and turned my attention towards Fizz.

"Hey! Get over here!" I called out to him. He looked over at me, then went back to rummaging through the scrolls for the stone.

"I'm busy." He said. My anger was peaking itself really fast because searching through these scrolls that weren't ours was really disrespectful. I made a link with Fizz who actually tried not letting it connect. I forced myself in a shared the feeling of my anger towards him.

"I don't give a fuck. Now get the fuck over here Fizz!" I shouted this time. He cringed, stopping what he was doing immediately and walking over to me. He bowed down quickly once he stood next to me.

"I apologize summoner. Forgive my rudeness." He said.

I calmed down just as fast as I got angry and knelt down. "It's fine man, just ask this guy. He'll probably know where it is." I said.

"Where what is? The royal armor?" The lunari said. I looked up towards him shaking my head. I stood back up giving my attention back to him.

"No, no. Fizz here, my champion, is looking for the now legendary moonstone. The last landwalker that was supposed to deliver it just disappeared." I explained. After I was done, the lunari's eyes shot open.

"What?" He said.

"You heard me."

"How long ago did this happen?!"

I looked down at Fizz, seeing him fully into the guy now. "Nami, no you might know her as the Tidecaller, appeared at the league about five years ago. To her though, she had been waiting for the landwalker for almost a month. She's been searching for the legendary landwalker for all these years." Explained Fizz. The lunari looked at him with shock as well.

"So wait, the Marai haven't received the moonstone?! Shit! The rumor was true then!" He said frantically. I looked around the room, finding a convenient empty pot laying around, I picked it up and placed the flower into it, finally releasing the hold on the barrier. I put the flower onto the altar so that I wouldn't accidentally knock it over and step on it or something.

"Okay hold the phone." I started to say.

"Whoa wait a minute!" Fizz called out. I looked down at him and he had on a face of 'are you kidding me?'

"What?" I asked.

"You don't get to use that metaphor you jackass. Not after the shit you gave me for it."

"Dude, seriously? Not the time. Were on the verge of finding out who I am AND where the moonstone is! Don't start this shit." I said. He squinted at me and pointed a fin at me.

"This shall be discussed later."

"Deal." I said. I turned back to the lunari who was pacing back and forth. "Now you, what rumor are you talking about?"

He stopped pacing and looked back at Fizz and I. "Long ago, as the last of us lunari scholars locked ourselves in the hidden Lunar Temples and the Solarians hunted us, we heard the rumor that along with the Grand Moon Priest disappearance, so did the legendary landwalker."

I brought my hands up in a halting motion towards him to have him slow down. "Wait a second, 'Legendary' Landwalker? There was just one?" I asked. The lunari nodded at me.

"Yes. Wait, no. They were more or so like a title really."

"Then what the hell makes them so special?" Fizz asked.

"The fact that they were chosen solely by the moon. That and their vast amount of abilities. Look, what makes them legendary are the deeds they do. They're basically like a royal scout or messenger." The lunari continued to explain.

"For the lunari people?" I asked, sense he wasn't really grouping the landwalker with any race or faction. He shook his head no.

"No, for the Gods." He finally said, giving the faction affiliation I was looking for.

"What? Really?" I asked, baffled from what I just heard.

"Yes! If the messenger of the Gods is really gone then…this land has been led astray for far too long."

"Why is it such a big deal?" Fizz asked. The lunari looked at him while biting his nails from frustration, fear or habit, I don't know.

"Because the landwalker kept a lot of peace and wronged misunderstandings between different worshippers of the Gods!" He continued to explain. Fizz and I kept quiet, confusion showing clear on our faces. The lunari continued on with his explanation. "Look, the landwalker title granted immunity to any attack from anybody. If you attacked the landwalker in the past, you were found and killed without mercy, no matter who you were because you don't shoot the messenger right? It's one of the few set laws of nature ever since the first recorded landwalker that had a God show their presence while he visited the various religions. It spread around the world very quickly who the landwalker was and thus giving him what is called by all religions, 'The God Immunity'. This was a law that was absolute and everyone started following it as soon as the landwalker displayed their power. It was so great, they blasted holes in the mountains then had them fixed in hours. It was soon thought that the landwalkers could control all the elements. All they had to do was ask the God or Gods of that element, then master it." He went on giving the full lay down of just how important the landwalker was and how serious it was that they were missing.

"If they're that powerful, then what happened to the last one?" Fizz asked, feeding our curiosity.

"No one knows except for maybe the Grand Moon Priest. Of our religion, he was the one that always had a mental connection with the landwalker whenever the landwalker needed him. But from what I heard of the solarians, their previous Grand Sun Elder disappeared around the same time ours did. My guess is that whatever grand or elder of all other religions out there, they disappeared at the same time too. Sure the people of that religion didn't know what happened but they have rules to just assume they are dead and move on to the heir or whatever."

I looked down at Fizz who returned my gaze. This information was incredible and scary at the same time. I looked back at the lunari with another question. "What did the landwalker usually look like? You said it's like a title right? So that means there were multiple of them, meaning the title didn't mean they lived forever right?"

The lunari nodded at me, while rummaging through his scrolls. "Yes, yes. That's right. The Landwalker did have an extended life though it seemed. No one but the landwalker and the highest priest of every religion knew how old or how long they lived. The landwalker was considered a saint amongst every religion too."

"Man, high standards." Fizz said.

"Yes. Anyway, the landwalkers were chosen by previous landwalkers but they were also decided by specific runes appearing on the right wrist." The lunari continued to explain. I looked at my arm that had the tattoo on it quickly, seeing the runes that ran around my wrist that I couldn't read anywhere. Was it because no one had anything written on the landwalkers?

"AHA! Found it!" Shouted the Lunari. I looked back up at him. "Look, look here. These are the runes that you would see on the landwalker." He said, showing the scroll to Fizz and I. I didn't recognize any of those runes from my wrist.

"Uhm, were those the runes for every landwalker?" I asked, about to show him my wrist. He nodded quickly pointing to the first line of runes.

"Yes, every single landwalker had these specific runes on the right wrist. They were born with these runes too which also makes the landwalker special. The landwalkers are specifically chosen, you see? By the gods, for the gods." He said. I rose my right hand up next to the scroll, trying to see if there was a pattern among the symbols. The lunari seemed to notice this and my tattoo for the first time, observing the runes first.

"So…do these unreadable runes count…?" I asked while still seeing if there was a pattern in any of the runes on my wrist from those of the landwalker. I still couldn't find any. He dropped the scroll and took ahold of my arm, looking more closely at the runes. I felt him run his fingers over a specific rune, the one that was right dead smack in the middle of my wrist. "What? Does that one rune make me a landwalker?" I asked with a slight fear and yet a bit of excitement in my voice.

"Yes and no…you might not be the landwalker or the next one, but you are related to them. This rune…last time I checked, the landwalker once spoke of a hidden rune that would unlock secrets of the landwalkers that the landwalker themselves didn't know about. Is…is this it? It can't be because, all of these runes on your wrist I haven't seen before but this one…why does it look so familiar?" He questioned. He started looking at the rest of the tattoo on my arm and saw its detail.

"Moon God above…" He started to say, looking away from the tattoo up into my eyes, searching them. "Just….who are you?" He asked which is what just shattered my hopes of figuring out who I was. Everything was finally starting to fall into place but now, with him saying that, I was back at square one. I broke out of my train of thought and saw him dumbfounded by something at my chest. I looked downwards but didn't know what the hell he was looking at.

"What? What is it?" I asked. He moved his hand slowly forward, towards my neck. I pulled my head back a bit, a little freaked out at what he was doing. He then gently touched my pendant that must've been gotten loose from under my shirt during the Trials. "Oh that?"

"Oh my Gods…where did you get this?" He said, his tone no longer frantic, more calmed and shocked than it was before.

"I woke up with it on the side of a mountain."

He looked confused because he turned his head a little to the side. "What?"

"Oh right, I probably should've told you this when I could but I don't know who I am. I woke up four years, two months, five days and seven hours ago. No memory, no idea who I was. I had this tattoo, these boots and this pendant around my neck." I explained briefly. The lunari blinked a few times, looking me up and down once more, almost in a way of 'are you really real?'

"That right there, is half the moonstone…" He said.

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. I heard Fizz drop his trident. I looked down at him as he looked up at me, tears starting to fill his eyes.

"W-w-what?" He stuttered out. I looked back from him to the lunari who had let go of my arm and was now looking at the wall behind him.

"That's where I've seen it." The lunari said. He moved his hand onto it, then placed his forehead against the wall. As he pulled away, he took a step back while the symbol that was on his forehead glowed where he placed it. Then there was a rumbling and the rocks crumbled away, revealing a hidden tiny box. He brushed aside any rubble that didn't fall away, and grabbed the box gently. He blew on its surface, showing the symbol on top of it. It was a small silver box, with detailed engravings of swirls in it. Its edges were smooth and all along any edge there was what looked like gold and it wouldn't surprise me if it was real.

"I've only seen this box once, in some scrolls that are around here somewhere. When we were locked in here, before entering, we were told of a new hidden compartment that wasn't to be opened or anything until we saw that symbol. When we saw it, we would know. When we activated the compartment, we are to take what's in it and give it to whoever shows the symbol and not ask questions. This was told to us from the high moon priests, who said that the grand moon priest said this just before he disappeared. So, sir…this is for you." He told me then reaching his hands out, bowing his head and waiting for me to take it. I looked at the box, frightened beyond belief at what might be inside it…whatever was in this box…the lunari people hid it all this time for…me?

I reached up and took it. Before I could even open it, the symbol on my wrist, the one that was on the box itself started to glow and burn. The burning sensation was so intense that I had never felt pain like this, it was as bad as when I was attacked by those masked men. I started screaming with it as it continued to burn. The box began to glow, and light from inside of it was showing itself brightly. As the pain reached its peak along with my screams, it subsided just as quickly disappearing within seconds. The top of the box popped, which showed that it was open. I looked over at Fizz who had let a tear fall from his eyes, as he looked at me with a joyful smile. I returned it, reaching up with my left hand and lifting the lid of the box.

Inside was something as beautiful as nature itself. It looked like a crescent moon, but it glowed just as the moon did. I moved my hand over it, letting my fingertips brush it feeling power come from it. Then out of nowhere, reality was sucked down and away from me. No, it was more like I was rising into the sky at a really fast speed. I slowed down once I was above the clouds, just floating there. I looked above to see a full moon, next to the beautiful stars above, too many to count but not enough to stop me from trying. Then a star shot across the sky, followed quickly by another as children did when they were playing tag. Then a group of stars continued to follow suit like they were running in a pack. I was watching a meteor shower, making this feeling right now the most relaxed I had ever been in my life that I could remember.

Then the light of the full moon intensified, it started to give off a concentrated area. I could see it narrowing towards me. After a moment, the light kept narrowing and focused onto the beautiful stone that I held in my hands still. I hadn't realized that the stone had come with me to this place, wherever I was. The stone began to glow with a brilliant silver light, which turned into a strange silver aura that began leaking out of the stone. The aura embraced me, covering my body and flowing into me power I had never felt before. I felt it begin to pump with my blood, keeping up with every cell. I tilted my head back, feeling it rise towards my mind giving a great feeling of power. As it crept up my neck and into my mind, memories began flooding through me. They weren't complete memories but more like flashbacks, pictures of something I had already seen. There was a scene of people kneeling in front of me, another where I was looking over the land, another where I was with an enormous crowd of people as they smiled and cheered it seemed. Then came the complete darkness I was too familiar with. I stood there, tears now flowing from my eyes like they had only once before. I looked at the darkness around me, feeling the stones power still with me. After seeing nothing but darkness, I looked back down at the stone, observing its new shimmering beauty and running my fingertips over it.

That's when I felt the presence once again, like before after the power of the 3 had taken me, the single white being that was just in my mind. I looked up, seeing the figure before me once again. We watched each other for a few moments before I just shook my head at it.

"Just….what…are you?" Was all I could ask, the overwhelming power of the stone still adapting to me.

"One artifact down…13 more to go…" responded the being. After it said that, reality rushed past me again, my memories mixed in with them and pains rushing with them. Before I knew it, I jolted back into the lunar temple with the lunari and Fizz watching me as I took deep and quick breaths. I looked around at them then back at my hands for the stone. It was gone!

"The stone, where is it?!" I yelled frantically, searching around the floor. Fizz just touched my shoulder but I ignored his hand. "Don't just sit there, help me look!"

"Fox!" He yelled at me. I stopped where I was a turned my head towards him and he was pointing at the middle of his collarbone. I brought my eyebrows together because there was nothing there, but he was motioning me to check mine. I reached up to my pendant and found that it was no longer the uncompleted version that I woke up with. It was now a fully complete, full moon, covering the other portion. It looked like a solar eclipse from the way it shined, just like a solar eclipse.

"The moonstone…" said the lunari. He was now kneeling on the ground with me and Fizz as we looked at it. I looked away from it to see his face which showed that he wasn't lying about this. He too had tears in his eyes which meant this was special to him for some reason. I heard him start to laugh too as he continued to look at it. "It is found. The Marai are going to be okay."

I heard Fizz start to laugh too, looking over at him he had on the biggest smile I had seen him ever have on at the League or his times with me. "We fucking have the moonstone Fox! We found it!" He exclaimed. Afterwards he tackled me with a hug, taking me to the ground and laughing into my cloak and clothes. I laughed my own laugh, hugging Fizz and feeling the bond we shared grow deeper without our actual bond deepen. After we had our moment of rejoice, I sat back up then stood up, dusting myself off of any dirt. Fizz did the same and afterwards, picked up his dormant trident that patiently waited for us to have our moment and he smiled up at me. I would've smiled back if I wasn't busy with this new urge to move towards the water that was flowing through the room. I couldn't take my eyes off of it in any way, it just had this draw to it. Then I felt the new power from the moonstone pull me towards the water to which I responded with obeying it. I moved towards the water with a sudden impulse to move with it, to control it.

As I approached its banks, I stopped at the edge. The power of the moonstone began building up in an extremely graceful way. It had its powerful pull, demanding that I use it but it felt like the power was polite. I outstretched my right hand towards the water, feeling the power move into it, waiting for me to use it. I didn't know how to control it, all that ran through my head was to call the water to my hand and so I did. The water from the stream broke away from its path making a new saw towards my hand. It slowly moved towards it at which I demanded it to move faster at which it obeyed. The water rushed to me, hitting my palm and flowing around it and up my arm. As I watched it flow as the power did through me, I raised my left hand and watched as the water flowed towards my other hand as well.

I was bending the water as I thought and told it to bend. The water was doing as I told it too and without hesitation. This, I could tell, was the power of the Tidecallers.

-Fizz

I watched my summoner walk up to the stream of water that was doing as the world around it commanded. The water was doing what water did in a river, flow the way it was told. I was now watching as Fox reached his hands out towards it and made it flow to him. We all watched as the water flowed up his arm, then out to his extended left hand. Fox just held that stance for a moment then began to move his arms as fluent as the stream was moving before he commanded it. He did various waves with his hands and arms, making the water extend out, bending in the air, exploding into the space above him, then back into a ball near his abs. He let it all gather there, then threw his arms into their fully extended length on each side of himself. The water exploded with it into one continuous flowing stream of water. He was watching over the water and his irises were glowing a light blue. What? I wasn't synced with him? Why were they glowing?

He looked up at me and the lunari, a smile on his lips, barely showing his front teeth. Has he always looked so relaxed while in this sync-like state?

"Fox…that's incredible." I said to him. He closed his eyes and did a last smooth motion with his arms and hands, sending the water back into the stream and returning it to its original nature of things. He opened his eyes and they returned to their normal color. He walked back towards us in a calm manner.

"This moonstone is…insane! Man, why is Nami a support when she could kick some serious ass with this kind of power?" He exclaimed. I chuckled a bit and nodded at his revelation.

"Yeah man, no kidding. Anyway, how did you do that?" I asked. He simply shrugged and pointed his thumb back at the stream.

"I just felt the need to call to it. I did and that was the result. Whatever I told it to do, it did."

I nodded with excitement. "Sick as shiiiiit." Fox chuckled and looked at the Lunari who was smiling his own smile that neither of us had seen until he started to laugh. Why didn't the lunari laugh at all? They looked good when they laughed.

"I'm glad to see you are related to the landwalkers, sir." He ended it like he stopped talking in mid-sentence. He shook his head in a weird way, seeming like he was trying to forget something by doing the action. "I'm sorry sir, I don't know your name. May I ask it?"

"Fox Lunester."

The lunari's eyes went wide again, like the last times he had heard something important come from us.

"Oh Gods what is it this time?" I asked.

"You woke up on the side of the mountain right?"

"Right." Said Fox.

"With no memories of who you were?"

"None."

"Then where did you get your name?"

"Oh, I've been asked this before. Uhm, Fox just because there was a story about a Fox that I was told and I really liked the story so I took that as my first name. Lunester was like the song to get into this temple, just there."

"Hmmm…" Was all he said after Fox said that to him. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"Let me guess, it sounds familiar." I said. He nodded but in just a confirming way.

"Yeah, but honestly I can't remember for the life of me what it is that it reminds me of. I'm sure it'll come to me so when it does, I'll find a way to get ahold of you." He said. Fox nodded at him as did I.

"Now, what connection do the lunari have with the Marai?" I asked, since he had shown such worry and relief for Nami's kind a while ago. The lunari chuckled and motioned for us to follow him. He went behind me, towards the right of the altar and pressed yet another hidden button. The wall pushed itself back then descended into the ground revealing ANOTHER room. He stepped through it having Fox and I follow, to which we stepped into a room that was about half the size of the temple. In here, there were various stands, mostly empty but some having stuff on them. To the left was the staff that Nami used, propped up on a stone stand. It looked exactly like that one she used. I jumped up onto the stand to look at it more closely. From what I could tell, it wasn't fake in any way.

"Yes, it is real." I heard from behind me. I turned to see the lunari standing there, watching me look at the staff. He had a smile on his face and continued to explain why he had it. "They are basically a sister religion, worshipping and loving the moon as much as we do. But instead of the entire race like us, sharing the power of the moon, they prefer specific individuals, like the Tidecallers. Once the landwalker visited us, telling us of the Marai and how they were in danger because it was hard for the moons power and light to reach their depths, we were happy to oblige and give them a means of power we just didn't know how. Thus the landwalker showing us how to harness the power and compress it into the special type of stone we possessed, which the landwalker then offered to take to them every century to help them thrive and drive off the dangers that tried to conquer them. We followed the instructions and taught it over time to our younger lunari, until the solarians finally broke the treaty and killed us off, along with destroying some of our most used temples."

I raised my eyebrows, or did the motion for it at his small story. "Wow so that was what, a decade ago?" I asked. The lunari laughed at that and shook his head.

"No, no, that was over 80 years ago." He explained. My jaw dropped from how young he looked for over 80 years old. "I can tell from your look that you're wondering how I look so young for being so old." I nodded at him and he chuckled. "There is an ancient magic cast on this temple and others like it. I do not age while I am here. This place is my home but also my prison so to speak. I'm sure if I left its boundaries where the magic protects me, I would crumble to dust within a day."

"Man that sucks. You should see the world today. So much has happened." I said. He nodded with a smile still on his face.

"I am aware. I have my sources that do bring me updates of the world. I know of the League and the war between Ionia and Naxus." He told me. I nodded to show my impressed feeling.

"Very nice. Right Fox?" I asked since he was quiet for this whole conversation that just went on with us. He was in front of a small suit of body armor on its own stand. It looked like the type that Diana wore except without the spikes coming from the neck. There was more armor on the shoulders than hers too, but it didn't look like it weighed the overall armor, down. There were bracers for his forearms next to the armor. They were like Diana's except they were plated, shining a gorgeous silver with an embroidered gold runes etching the edges of the plating. Last cool thing about the armor was that it had a really nice hood with runes around the brim of it as well. The lunari scholar and I walked up next to him, admiring the armor as Fox did, we just weren't as engrossed as he was.

"This is ancient armor wore by the special landwalker guards we had whenever the landwalker decided to visit a lunar temple. The runes on it are those that give you heightened resistance to fire elements. Beautifully designed, isn't it?"

Fox nodded slowly, his eyes not leaving the armor. "More than I want it to."

"Sir Lunester, if you want, the armor is yours to take."

That caught Fox and my attention. We looked at him with excitement. "Really?" He asked, his eyes basically shining at getting something so rare. The lunari nodded at him with a gentle smile.

"Of course. You carry the completed moonstone now, which can only be carried by the landwalker or someone in the line of the landwalkers. Which to simplify for you, means you're basically royalty. The armor is yours if you wish to have it."

Fox's smile broke out and showed itself fully. He nodded and quickly took off his messenger's bag and cloak. The lunari moved to the armor and started unfastening it in various locations. He took it off its pedestal and moved it towards the now ready Fox. He let the lunari pull it over his head and pull it down to fasten onto his shoulders. It fit perfectly onto him as the lunari scholar fastened the various buckles. Afterwards, Fox pressed onto the plates, rolling his shoulders to get a feel from them in the armor. The lunari took the bracers and held them out for Fox to slide his arms through. As he did, he pulled the two buckles tight to get them to fit more snug. He did the same with the other bracer, after it was tightened he moved his arms around in multiple ways, doing stances some of which I had seen him use for practice, some were new.

He finally stopped and took a deep breath, closing his eyes then opening them again to look at me and the lunari, at which we were both nodding our approval. "It feels…so right guys." He said.

"It looks right bro." I said.

"Does it weigh okay to you sir Fox?"

Fox nodded at him, jumping in place and shaking his head. "Oh yeah. I'm lovin this armor. You lunari sure knew how to make your stuff."

The lunari smiled at him with agreement showing in his posture. He then turned back towards the way we came, back into the main temple. Fox and I followed naturally and ready to ask our final questions before leaving this place I'm sure. Fox started it off for us.

"So, the reason we came here was because the people who are next to this mountain have asked us to seek why the ghosts of the mountain have been poisoning their water source. Care to explain what was in the bottle that I shattered from the guardian or whatever you called him?"

The scholar walked back to his chair that had been knocked over recently, reaching down with grace and resetting it back to its position that was upright. He then sat down in it, looking through various scrolls. "I wasn't having the guardian poison their water supply, I was making it cleaner. I had been doing it for years, sending him down there, but honestly I didn't think it would be that big of a deal if they saw us but now I see I was a fool." He explained. I nodded seeing the reasoning but I guess Fox didn't.

"Wait, making it cleaner? How? It's fresh water from the ice of the mountain or whatever, right?"

The lunari scholar read a scroll, or overviewed it then rolled it up and binding it with a rubber band I hadn't seen him pull out. He set it aside and began rummaging through his scrolls again. "Just behind that cave, is a type of bat that has a special chemical in its urine, which can cause massive brain bleeds to most living organisms. No one knows why because the bat only lives on this mountain and in places that are considered tainted air pockets. Thing is, it can take years for the effect on your brain to take hold and show symptoms." The scholar continued to explain, finding another scroll that held information on it and rolling it up, binding it as the last one to set it next to the previous bound scroll.

"That would explain the dead deer drinking at the pond…but it doesn't explain where the deer went." Fox continued to ask, his arms positioned to hold each other up, but not really crossing each other. The way the armor was glowing in this light gave off that feeling of what they called a 'skin' for us champions at the league. The silver armor piece that went from his left shoulder, down to the outside of his right hip. It looked like it was uncomfortable but Fox didn't seem to mind. It was probably more for show rather than actual protection, well not physical protection.

"The guardian brought it back into the mountain, letting it die among a peaceful place. You didn't see its bones or anything because most of the plants down there used the body and its leftover nutrients to feed themselves." The scholar explained, rolling up another scroll, binding it and placing it with the other two.

"Okay. In the future, I ask that you uh, help them more secretly so as to not scare them of poison in their water." Fox asked towards the scholar. The lunari looked up from his pile of scrolls, nodding respectfully.

"I understand Sir Lunester. Now, as you can see, I have some scrolls here that explain some of our lost culture to the outside world, it is up to you to get it to them and let them know of our people. The other scrolls help you locate the other lunar temples, I have a request for you Sir Lunester."

"Go ahead?" Fox said, reaching out for the scrolls and opening his bag with his other hand. The scholar placed them into his hand but not letting go yet. Fox met his eyes with the lunari's, which had a tint of worry in them.

"Please, go and make sure the scholars there are unharmed and safe…I fear that I am the last lunari alive…" He said. I was going to open my mouth to tell him that we actually had one waiting for us back at the League but Fox reached out to me in my mind and told me not to. I searched his thoughts as to why he didn't want me too, finding that even though it would bring him hope, it would also bring despair since she is also outnumbered by the solarians. I still didn't get it but I held back my words.

"We will definitely search them, you have my word." Fox said to him. The scholars face showed relief and thanks.

"What should we do if they are alive and okay in the temples? Do we tell them you sent us?" I asked. He looked down at me nodding eagerly.

"Yes, very much so. Tell them that Luca has asked you to search for them." He responded. He turned around towards the Lunabelle flower and picked it up. He then handed it to Fox, who just finished putting the scrolls into his bag and took hold of it. "This flower is yours and I hope that you take good care of it Sir Lunester. Keep it alive and it shall see you till the end of your days."

Fox nodded looking down at it with awe, not really thinking he was actually going to get to keep such a rare thing. I was just as awe struck as I watched the silver flower shake as the pot did from the hands moving it.

"I will Luca. But I still have questions for you." Stated Fox not wanting to go yet.

Luca shook his head and pointed towards the tunnel at which the water went to fall into the pond we had met the guardian ghost of the temple. "I'm sure you do Sir Lunester but you must hurry with the moonstone. The Marai people have an enclosing danger upon them and without the power you hold around your neck, they cannot survive it much longer. Please, hurry to the Tidecaller so that she can give you the pearl and take the moonstone. Find the other temples, they will answer your questions, I promise." Luca told us as he continued to usher us through the tunnel that Fox had to duck through.

We stepped in, stopping to look back at the scholar to see him and the guardian whom had been silent this whole time since we entered the temple, watch us regretfully it seemed.

"Thanks again Luca, you've done far more than you think you have. I know it sounds cheesy but, I won't let ya down man. I keep my promises." Said Fox. I nodded adding in my part with him.

"Yeah, same here. I'll make sure he doesn't slack off like he usually does." I said. I was then struck on the head by something, guessing it was Fox's hand.

"Shut it." He said. I looked at him with a smile and began rubbing where I was struck. It actually stung a little.

"I'm extremely glad to have heard that. Now go and jump. Do not worry, from what I've read, you'll be protected by the moonstone. I shall too keep my promise and make sure that the native people you speak of do not spot the guardian anymore, but continue to watch over them. May the moon watch over you Sir Lunester and may the knowledge you seek embrace you." Luca said with a bow. We bowed our heads in return and turned back towards the waterfall.

The tunnel began to open up quickly, along with the quiet sound of the falling water. As we reached the edge, with the water carelessly jumping over the side towards the pond below, we both peaked over the edge.

"Holy shit! It didn't look like this high of a fall from down there!" I yelled at him. I heard him chuckle and that made me a little mad.

"Yeah it did. You scarred or something little baby?" He taunted towards me. My eyes fell to a droopy state, half closed and showing annoyance in them. I walked back a bit into the tunnel while Fox continued to chuckle at me. "Come on Fizz, this is the fastest way out." He called to me as I continued to back into the tunnel. I stopped, turning back around getting into my running stance. I looked at Fox's face to see it go from a smile into a serious line.

"Wait, you're gonna jump?" He said with a hint of worry in his voice. I smirked and started running towards the fall at a sprint. "Wait hold on man, I have to jump with you!" Was what he screamed as I ran past him and jumping off the cliff into the pond below?

As I looked down and saw the height I was starting to fall, it hit me that doing that was a dumbass idea. Probably should've waited for Fox.

-Fox

After Fizz jumped off the cliff of the tunnel, I quickly took a few steps back and sprinted the short distance, diving off the cliff after him. The fall was ridiculous and didn't help with my fear of heights. As I saw Fizz flailing his legs and his arms circling to help balance him while in the air, I was a good four feet behind him which was closing fast, but so was the distance to the water below. I tucked my arms in and placed a barrier spell around the flower again so that the wind rushing past us didn't damage it.

The gap between Fizz and I closed fast and I grabbed his cloak pulling him to me in time before the water below slammed into us. No, that wasn't right, the water was really cushioning our fall since we hit the surface but didn't get absorbed by it. The water bent itself around us in a bubbly way making it feel soft. I looked down at the moonstone, seeing it glow which explained what Luca said. The water raised us back towards the even level of the rest of the pond and returned to its ways, flowing in any direction that it carried itself. I let go of Fizz, who had shut his eyes tight for the impact, getting my feet under me and standing up, walking on the water yet again. I kicked Fizz to get him out of his scarred little ball he had wrapped himself in, to which he just opened his eyes slowly until they were fully open and looked around us.

"Huh…some weird shit goin on." Was all he said as he stood up and adjusted his cloak again. I shook my head then continued to walk over to land, dispelling the barrier around the flower since it was no longer in any danger of damage.

"Yeah, yeah. Come on. Before we head back to the Institute, we have to go and light up the church, letting the village know of our success." I heard Fizz whine from behind me. I rolled my eyes as he was acting like a god's damned little kid.

"Do we have to? I don't wanna." He continued to add in a whining voice.

"Don't care."

"But we have to get the stone back to Namiiiiiiiiii."

"I know but we have to tell them."

"Ugh, fiiiiiiiiine…stupid." Was the last thing he said before I connected his mind with mine. I told him to grab onto my back as he did before when we first came here. Now that I thought about it, I looked around to see the moon beginning to hide itself behind the bend of the horizon whilst the sun came up to give us the day. I pulled out my orb from its hidden pocket to see the time at which it told me that it was almost 8 in the morning. We really did all of that in hours? We were in there for that long? What?

"Maybe that temple doesn't apply itself to the laws of time so that might explain why that guy look so friggin young. Time must be either really slowed in their or just stops for him completely. It only felt like an hour to me." Fizz said, hearing my thoughts while jumping onto my back and reaching his hand forward with his trident in it. I reached up with my right hand to take it like I had before. He kept his hand held out though which I didn't know why until he motioned with it for me to give him the flower.

"Oh, right." I said while handing the flower back to him, twirling his staff like it did before so that the prongs of the trident were pointing towards the ground and I started jogging. Was I built myself up into a full sprint, I said the runes to the spell 'ghost', only using the one that sped you up so that we just focused on time. As I felt the power of the spell activated, I felt Fizz give me more of his power and put them into my legs like last time. As I exploded into a sprint with the forest whirring past me, we approached the church building a lot faster than we did for the pond. I was right when I guessed that having both variations of ghost activated at the same time. I could feel the spell coming to an end quickly but we would be at the church by the time it cut itself off.

As we broke from the tree line into the clearing of the hill, I saw someone was already in front of it. I already had a plan for this so I shared it with Fizz so I could get more power from him to give the display towards the villager and make it really seem like we were messengers of the gods. We had to play the part and show a display of power to a level to them. I tried to get a read on if it might actually be the elder but even from this distance I could tell it wasn't. I hoped our eyes were glowing because this wouldn't be as cool if they weren't. I pulled up my hood from my new armor, all the way forward so as to not show as many of my features as possible, but the way the sun was rising, they would get a full view of me so I might as well still look awesome with my hood up. I told Fizz to do the same and for him to act like royalty but not demand to be treated like it. He agreed since he felt the same as me, not wanting them to make themselves feel less human than they were.

As we neared the person, the spell was running dry but I pushed it hard for my last kick off so as to get more air. After I kicked off the ground, already soaring through the air in an upwards way, I whispered the spell for 'flash' to cover the rest of the distance. As I appeared right in front of the church, the momentum of the jump carried me a little, making me throw my feet forward to stop myself more quickly with a slide. Fizz jumped off too, sliding with his feet, flower in hand and holding out his hand so as to not fall over. When we came to a complete stop, we slowly looked over at the person whom was in front of the church, which was yet another woman but she was much younger than the elder, maybe 18? We had caught her attention since she had faced us with a gasp of shock. She had hardly anything on, but the single clothe that cover her breasts down to her shins. It didn't wrap around her arms just her chest, like a strapless dress. Her hair was long, smooth and damp like it was wet.

'Probably just bathed or something, most likely to seem fresh for us. Guess they sent her to address us if we came back during the morning.' Fizz thought in our synced minds.

'Good point.' I thought back. I brought myself up to stand up straight, feeling a slight breeze from the wind. The glare from the suns light blinded me a little bit, causing me to squint to lessen the light intake of my eyes, which cause the young woman to gasp again then bow onto one knee. Why was she kneeling already?

'Cause you looked like you were mad at her just now by squinting dumb tard. Try not to look THAT intimidating.' Fizz explained to me. Now I felt kinda bad for her.

'You should, squinty eyed scary mother fu-'He started to say but I yelled at him in my head while shooting him an annoyed glare.

'Yeah, I get it Fizz, shut up already!'

I walked up to the young woman, touching her shoulder with my right hand so that she would stand back up.

"I apologize messengers, we did not expect you to complete the job so quickly." She said. Her voice actually matched her very well for her small size and figure. As she looked up at me with her blue eyes, I melted a little inside from how beautiful they were along with the rest of her features that fit their place. Her refined cheek bones giving a sharpness to her cheeks along with full lips and somewhat bushy eyebrows. Her brunette hair was shining with the suns glare as it continued to rise into the sky.

"We did not think to resolve it so quickly either young one. Where is your elder?" Asked Fizz. The girl rose to her feet but kept her head bowed towards us.

"She is still resting from her night. We fear she might be getting a cold from the storm last night, messengers. We apologize you could not speak to our elder but I am her assistant and am training under her. We agreed before she left last night that if you signaled your mission complete in the morning, I was to come and give you our thanks so as to not waste anymore of your time with us." She finished with a hurried and nervous voice. I smirked a bit at her, never knowing someone would be this nervous for us but I also admired her for coming out to greet beings that had been labeled holy.

"Well, send your elder our regards and good wishes of health along with this elixir that should help cure her." Fizz said for me before I could. I reached into my bag, pulling out one of the two potions and held it out to the young woman. She held her hands out to take the bottle without giving it a chance to drop by cupping her hands together like she was about to receive water.

"We thank you as many stars that there are in the sky. We have left you many gifts of our people in the church. Now if-if I may be dismissed…?" She said almost like a fact but turned it into a question near the end. I smiled and nodded as she glanced up at me, I bowed my head a little and held out my right hand towards her village so that she might leave. She bowed again, holding the health potion close to her and walked quickly down the hill. As we watched her go, I could see through Fizz's eyes that he was already moving into the church to see a basket in the middle of the room. He quickly grabbed it and came back out, showing me that inside was a lot of food, some which we recognized while the rest we didn't but still planned on eating it. We traded quickly with me giving him his staff and him giving me the flower. I looked over the village one more time, seeing a few others leave their homes and come out to see the now running young woman towards the center of the village.

Fizz and I quickly started walking towards the passage back to the institute, returning with way more stuff than what we had left with. I think the most shocking thing out of our stuff was going to be my armor.

"Are you fucking kidding me with that shit?" Fizz asked out loud. I keep forgetting that our minds are still synced and he heard me say that. I chuckled and looked down to him shaking my head.

"If I say no, are you going to retort with 'Hold the phone?'" I asked at him with my smile growing in size at the new found inside joke between us.

"Fuck you." He said with an angry smile. I burst out laughing and he was content with being stubborn and keeping an angry face on.

We continued talking about the temple and the others that we promised to go visit. We talked about how they would have trials too and if Fizz was ever going with me to those temples, how he would be quiet the entire fucking time so he didn't jinx us. We brought up subjects about my other job with Ahri, me telling him more secrets than I planned and him showing his good natured, happy side that a lot of people loved about him. Before we knew it, the day was moving by and we had somehow made it through the pass in less time than we had when we were headed in the opposite direction. I pulled out my orb to see the time, seeing that it was already one. I wanted to be back before night hit so Fizz jumped onto my back again, giving me his staff like we had done so many times before yesterday. I reached into my bag and pulled out one of the mana potions, drinking half of it and giving the rest to Fizz so that he could get an extra amount to give to me since I was going to be pushing the boundaries of 'ghost' here. As soon as he wiped his mouth and the bottle evaporated from it sensing that its contents were drained, I activated the spell again, feeling an enormous amount of power flowing through me. I exploded into a run again, seeing the trees whisk past me and the wind slam into me, trying to slow me down but only in a small way that I paid no attention to. We must've been bookin it for a good 15 or 20 minutes because I had already broken the tree line to see the institute once again on the road that lead to it. I stopped the ghost spell prematurely so as to not waste anymore mana. Fizz jumped off yet again, holding the flower up to me and me giving him his trident back. We both smiled then look at the institute, seeing many summoners walking the road. I caught a few glances from my sudden appearance, but shrugged them off since the mission was now over.

"Nami…" I heard Fizz whisper at which I nodded, moving my hand over the moonstone, feeling its slight power that it gave off.

"Yeah…lets' go make a trade."
