Chapter 10: Shedding Some Light
The Blade Breakers were in a museum.
"Man, I'm starving!" Tyson groaned.
"You can't be hungry again?!" a bewildered Max blinked.
"Just ignore him." Ray sighed, rolling his eyes.
Kai was gazing at a painting.
It showed a woman sitting on a throne with a man dressed in red armour with gold decorating the rims of the plates by her side. When he had a closer look at the woman, his eyes widened in alarm.
"Check this out!" he called.
The others ran over to him.
"What is it, Kai?" asked Kenny.
"Look at the woman in the painting." Kai told them.
"Hey, she looks like Hilary!" Ray exclaimed.
"Yeah, you're right!" Max agreed.
"That is Princess Adelaide. The man in armour is her husband, Sir Dranzer." the curator announced.
Sir Dranzer? Kai thought, glancing at his Beyblade.
"Legend says that Lady Adelaide and Sir Dranzer fought alongside three other knights, named Sir Dragoon, Sir Driger and Sir Draciel. After defeating the sorcerer Lyran, the four knights were trapped as mythical beasts." he continued.
"What about Adelaide?" Tyson asked. Even though the others already knew about Princess Adelaide's fate, he hadn't paid much attention to the story.
"Gone. Some say she sleeps an eternal slumber, waiting for the time when she is needed again. But most claim that she sealed herself in the dungeons of her castle. The castle's in ruins now, but the dungeons may be intact, so it's quite possible that the princess' body lies there as her final resting place." the curator replied.
Maybe that's why Hilary was kidnapped... Kai thought. "What about the Temple of Shadow?" he asked.
"The Temple of Shadow is where a cult called the Brotherhood of Darkness worship Lyran, some claim, plotting his resurrection." the curator explained. "It's said to be located north of London." he added.
Kai suddenly ran off.
"Hey, Kai! Where're you going?" Ray called.
"To rescue Hilary!" Kai answered.
"But I wanted to get some hot-dogs!" wailed Tyson.
"Come on, Tyson!" Kenny cried.
"Don't worry, my love! I shall return!" Tyson vowed to the hot-dogs, before joining the others.
