Welcome back folks, glad you came back and hope you enjoy the story

"AHHH!" Cried Ilmatar as she fell through the darkness of this cavern.

She finally hit the ground after about 2 minutes of falling and screaming.

"Oh God, I think I broke something." She said holding her side

She looked around in the darkness. She couldn't see. She felt around for her saber until she found it.

"X, X!" She called out into the darkness, but got no response.

"X!" She called out again and started to feel around to see if she could find him. Finally she felt an arm with a long sleeve shirt on it.

"Oh X I'm so gad I found you." But she again heard no response.

"X?" She asked lighting up her saber.

"Oh my God!" She screamed as she saw what she was holding. A skeleton, in a black shirt and pants.

She backed away slowly until she felt another hand. She turned around to see another skeleton, and it practically fell on her. She pushed it off and turned to the other side and saw another skeleton. She felt skeletons falling on her. She stated to panic and dropped her saber sending her into darkness. She got so scared:

"X! HELP ME." She screamed

Suddenly she felt an arm reach in and pull her out of the cluster of bones. She opened her eyes and looked up to see X's mask while he held a flare. She looked at him for a second, then hugged him in a tight embrace and burst into tears soaking X's shirt (Oh come on you'd pretty scared too wouldn't you?).

Red X felt his face turn red "Uh." Because he had never gotten this close to a girl before X didn't quiet know how to comfort the sobbing heroine. "Uh here let me get your saber." X said reaching for Ilmatar's saber. But when he tried to move, Ilmatar hugged him tighter. X temporarily lifted his attention from Ilmatar; he held up the flare higher and looked down the cavern. It was littered with skeletons. Some had been stabbed, some cut in half, some crushed by giant boulders.

"Dear God." X proclaimed

They were all wearing black pants and a black shirt. And helmets? Wait these weren't just dead people these were dead:

"Soldiers." X proclaimed. He looked up again to see the flare was almost out.

"Uh Ilmatar sorry to interrupt you, but the flare is almost out."

Ilmatar looked up. X saw the line of a dozen tears that had streaked down her face "Oh sorry, it's just that I've been terrified of skeletons since I was a kid."

"It's okay, here take this." He said handing her a black hancerchief.

"Thanks." She said and picked up her saber and turned it on. When she saw all the skeleton her eyes grew wide.

"Uh X." She said.

"Yes?"

"You know I'm terrified of skeletons?"

"Right." X said suspiciously trying to figure out what she was getting at

"Well I was wondering if, until we get out of this cavern that is could I maybe." She gulped and started to blush "Hold your hand?" She asked.

"Uh." X was a little confused.

"To feel safe. Please." She said, it seemed like she might start to cry again.

"Uh sure okay." He said and extended his hand, and Ilmatar took it.

"Thank you." She said and they proceeded to walk down the cavern hand in hand.

When their figures first intertwined X felt his body temperature rise and a smile come to his face. He felt happy, a happiness you fell when you fall for someone. Ilmatar felt safe and secure, the kind of security you fell around someone you love.(Hm what am Iinplying?)

"Hey these are soldiers." Pointed out Ilmatar a little farther down the way

"And not just any soldiers." X said pointing at one "Look at that, the swastika."

"Nazis?" Asked Ilmatar

"Yes, but not just any Nazis. These are the SS guards."

"So what would Hitler's Elite be doing down here?"

"Don't know, but I'm guessing they maybe have been down here for 60 years. And it also seems like they set off all the bobby traps in this place."

"Wow this is just like Indiana Jones." Remarked Ilmatar

They continued to walk toward the end of the cavern. Eventually they came to a dead end. Just a wall.

"Well start searching." Said X letting go of Ilmatar, making her freak out and run to his side.

"Searching for what?"

"Well you said this was like an Indiana Jones movie so that means that there's probably a secret button around here somewhere." He said feeling the walls so Ilmatar decided to do the same. After a couple of minutes

"Here we go." Said X pushing a rock into the wall

There was a rumble and a smash and they both looked behind them and saw a huge boulder rolling towards them.

"This really is like Indiana Jones" Said Ilmatar as they both watched the rock roll towards them.

Ilmatar just grabbed X and pulled him close to her. She stuck out her saber in front of her and sliced the boulder in half as it rolled past them. The 2 pieces of the boulder crashed into the wall causing it to crack and collapse reveling a new room.

"Wow!" They both declared as they walked into the room.

The room was just like the cavern with the wooden stairs. Except it had no stairs and a big cauldron like pot in the center.

"Is this room, what everyone has been looking for?"

"Maybe this will help." Said Ilmatar walking over to a wall where the light from her saber had reveled writing craved on wall.

"Can't read it." X said walking away

"Pftt I can read it." Said Ilmatar looking at the wall

"What's it written in?" Asked X

"Prussian."

"But you said you could only speak German, Finnish, French and English."

"Prussian is German practically." Ilmatar said

X walked around the cavern while he waited for Ilmatar to finish deciphering the words

"Finished yet?" Asked X impatiently

"Yes Mr. Hurry pants." Responded Ilmatar

"Well what dose it say?"

"It says that Along time ago a great evil was conceived to destroy it's creators enemies. It reigned death and kill hundreds and wiped out an entire civilization."

"It sounds like the scrolls found in Italy." Said X scratching his chin

"Yes. May I continue?"

"Go."

"After it's death filled reign it was sealed away by its creators so it would never again do evil. However an attempt to awaken was made, by another man named Napoleon, however a united coalition of 10 nations worked together to reseal it so that it would remain hidden forever."

"Wow a union of 10 nations. Which ones were they?" Said X surprised

"It says their Flags are carved on the wall." Said Ilmatar reading some more

"Look there the flag of Spain." Said X pointing at the flag

"And Denmark." Said Ilmatar

"And Britain."

"And Austria."

"And Portugal."

"And Turkey." Said X

"That's not the flag of Turkey." Objected Ilmatar

"Yes it is." Said X

"Well it wasn't called Turkey back then it was called the Ottoman Empire, back then."

"Why isn't it called that now?"

"Because they were broken apart as part of the WWI peace treaty, then they were replaced by the Turkish Republic."

"Interesting, oh and here's the flag of The Netherlands." Said X

"And Russia."

"That's not Russia." Said X

"That was their flag when the tzars ruled." Said Ilmatar (I explained this in chapter 2 people go back and read chapter 2 if you don't remember and read the rest of the story while you're at it.)

"Well I still don't remember this flag." Said X

"That is the flag of Prussia." Said Ilmatar

"Prussia?" Asked X

"Yes, Prussia you see since 1815 Prussia and 37 other independent German states formed a confederation called the German Confederation. From 1861 to 1871 a man named Otto Von Bismarck united the German states and created modern Germany."

"Wow." Was all X could say

"You need to study your European history more."

There was a brief pause.

"So you're saying that this thing has been down here for 300 years?" Asked X

"To be exact actually 204 years."

"So someone is trying once again to awaken this great evil to use it for bad I assume."

"You probably assume right." Said Ilmatar

"Yeah, but what kind of someone would want to do that?"

"Someone like me!" Said a voice behind them, but before they could turn to see who it was they both felt a pain in their back and they both blacked out.

Oh who is it? Review and tell me if you think you know
