PURITY FLUORISHES AND TAKES FLIGHT
- What was that noise? – asked Laika nervously.
In the middle of the panic, she had run down a path without looking and Palmon was running behind her trying to keep up without losing her from her sight.
- Laika, Wait up! – said Palmon who stopped suddenly behind Laika who was standing very still after she felt a terrible explosion.
The ground started to shake beneath their feet and the wall of the labyryth started to collapse a few feet in front of them.
- Run! – yelled Palmon turning around and running trying to drag Laika along with her.
Laika reacted and took Palmon in her arms and ran up the path she had come down previously.
But the path had changed and now they were hopelessly lost until they reached a place where there was a suspension bridge connecting the sides of a huge chasm.
Laika doubted due to the fear of heights but she continued running since the walls behind them were collapsing leaving no choice but to try to cross the bridge to the other side.
Laika ran over the bridge without looking back but then the supports of the bridge started to give when they were midway across. Laika held onto Palmon in horror as they plummeted down.
Palmon moved quickly and she grabbed Laika with her left arm while she casted her vines to the other side of the abyss.
The vines pierced the rock with violence and and seconds later Yuki and Palmon were hanging over the chasm.
As rocks crashed down to the bottom a red glare started to become apparent. A sea of lava is what laid on the bottom of the chasm.
Yuki looked up and noticed somebody was watching them from the edge.
- It's you. – said Laika reliefed to see the bat rounded shape of a known friend. – Help us up please. – said Laika.
- Ok. But first tell me what is that rod that one of you humans carry.
- Ok, I'll tell you….He said it was a….
When Laika said this she could hear the voice of somebody else.
- Don't tell him Laika! - said the voice that she could not find where it came from.
She raised her head and saw a horse clad in golden armor flying overhead ridden by a known person to her. Pegasusmon turned around and was flying towards Laika.
- He is lying Laika. Don't tell him anything.
Demidevimon became very upset with this.
-Tell me! - yelled Demidevimon taking flight and tossing a syringe with a sharp needle that sunk on the side of Pegasusmon.
When this happened Pegasusmon started to fly erratically in circles and it seemed he was going to crash.
- Yuki! - yelled Laika feeling helpless at the moment.
Demidevimon smiled mischievously and looked down the chasm once again at Laika and Palmon.
- If you had just trusted me. Now, unless you tell me you will fall down.
- I will not tell you!
Palmon felt impressed with the resolve of her friend but in that moment the pierced rock gave in and both plummeted to the bottom. The digivice glowed once and momentarily Palmon body changed to a body of giant cactus plant with boxing gloves. Then, her body glowed again and the cactus cracked open revealing a fairy like creature donning a pink attire with flowers adorning it. Her fairy wings oscillated at great speed.
She recovered from the fall and took Laika on her arms and flew like a rocket to the summit of the cavern.
Laika was about to pass out but she recovered her strength and could see that her digivice described the creature as: LILLYMON. The pendant around her neck glowed with the engraving of a falling raindrop.
Demidevimon cowardly squirmed behind the rocks when he saw this.
The purity of Laika's heart had taken flight.
