Lily: Delivery!

Erika: It's for you and it's the next chapter!

Anna: We would like to thank: CloudRunner Soul, Tannerdarko, FF4Life, ShivaFan, and Alias Midnight!

Stephanie: Enjoy the chapter!

"The next destination?" Vaan inquired.

"The last one on the list, of course." Erika replied with a grin.

"The Glabados Ruins." Nicole said.

Vaan nodded. "Glabados Ruins it is!"

"We're starting to go by fast again. …When do you think Janelle will show up again?" Daniel questioned.

"It doesn't take her too long to recover. So soon. And hopefully the next time will be the last. She's incomplete, so she cannot recover completely. She'll be even weaker this time around." Fantasy replied.

"Right… Next time though, will be the last. I'm sure of it." Daniel sighed. "I have a bad feeling about next time though… As if…we'll lose someone again."

Fantasy looked up at him. "Don't think like that, Daniel. We won't lose anyone ever again. I promise you that. I'll protect you all and we'll all return home happy."

Daniel took notice of the look of utter determination in Fantasy's eyes. "I believe you, Fantasy."

"Glabados Ruins…" Rosalina tapped her chin in thought.

"What about the place?" Nicole asked.

"The description. I swear I've heard it before. I did research on this game so I do remember a few of the places." Rosalina replied.

"They're ruins situated atop a lone island off the southern coast of Bervenia in a region known as Glabados. Sky pirates assigned this name to the ruins as well, its true name lost to history." Fran explained as she walked up to the two girls.

"Oh great-all-knowing Fran, you never cease to amaze me." Rosalina joked with a smile.

"Are we almost there?" Erika whined. "I'm soooo bored!"

"I'm hungry." Stephanie sighed.

"Good to know!"

Everyone turned to greet Tomaj. "Nono, Cu Sith and I just finished preparing a big fest! Have at it!"

"Food? !" Anna grinned. "Foooood!" she ran out of the room with Erika and Stephanie following behind.

"Oh goodness…we better hurry before they inhale it all." Rosalina jokingly rolled her eyes.

Nicole laughed. "Agreed,"

By the time the gang finished stuffing their faces with delicious food and goofing off, they had arrived at their destination and the Galbana lowered. They exited the ship and ran off into the ruins, Balthier leading the way this time around. Once inside, he glanced around.

"So…" Vaan started. "What are we doing back here?"

Balthier turned and faced Vaan. "Counting the Stone Mydia has, there were three treasures in the Cache, yes?"

"Then that must mean there's a room here we haven't been to." Penelo concluded.

Vaan pondered on this, while Penelo and the others looked around. Penelo walked forward a bit, and away from the group, where she almost immediately set her eyes upon something new. "Over there!" she pointed ahead. She ran forward and so did everybody else. A pathway new to Vaan, Penelo, Balthier and Fran had been laid out in front of them. "Look at this!" Penelo exclaimed.

"The way to the hidden chamber lain bare." Balthier mumbled.

"What are we waiting for?" Vaan asked.

"Right! Let's go!" Anna grinned.

"Fuck, a maze." Erika cursed.

Conway tied Butter to the top of his head. "Don't worry, if you guys get separated from me, look for Butter." He assured them.

"Pfft…" Erika covered a hand over her mouth.

"Who would look for you anyway?" Nicole dully commented as she walked off. Erika trailed behind her, trying to contain her laughter.

The gang made their way through the new area of the ruins. As they open up new doorways, more enemies spawn. When they get to the end and open the final doorway, the Elder Wyrm appears, and sets off his mud breath.

"NO! NO! NO! This is bullshit! Bull-frikken-shit! WE REFUSE!" The Gamers all pointed to the enemy and backed away.

"Jeez, you guys really hate him, don't you?" Vaan said.

"Gee, really?" Anna sarcastically replied.

"Come on now, don't act like children." Balthier spoke up.

"We despise that thing." Erika spat.

"Don't worry," Rosalina smirked. "I'll take care of 'im. You all just sit back and enjoy the show." She summoned her whip and flicked it.

"Oh dear Lord… STAND BACK!" Anna pushed past everyone and hid behind a wall. The others soon followed.

"We seriously need some lawn chairs," Erika watched the Elder Wyrm fly past them. "And some popcorn,"

The others nodded. "Agreed,"

Rosalina wiped the sweat off her forehead with the back of her wrist. "Phew, finally that's over and done with." She smiled at her friends. "It's ok to come out now."

They did so and congratulated Rosalina for a job well done.

After the little gathering, Balthier inspected the empty pedestal, with the others looking on from behind.

"I dare say we're not the first visitors these halls have seen in recent days." Balthier commented.

"No, I sense something on the Mist. The other treasure was here." Fran stated, walking up and inspecting the pedestal herself.

Balthier made his way to the middle of the pedestal. "Then this must be where Mydia found it." He gazed up at the statue of a winged being that was located behind the pedestal. His eyes widened for a quick moment. "Fran, take a look at this."

Fran walked over, Vaan closely following behind her. "There's something etched in the stone. Can you make it out?" Balthier asked.

Fran brushed her fingers over it. "It's written in an ancient hand. It says, "To the viera I took for my wife, to our beloved children, this gift I leave- Feolthanos."

A sudden shocked reaction showed up on Llyud's face. "Feolthanos! ?" he exclaimed.

"Why would a god from Lemurés build a temple in Ivalice? And what's this about a wife and children?" Vaan questioned.

Balthier stepped back. "I see where this is going."

"Huh?" Conway blinked as Balthier walked away from the pedestal.

"And where's that?" Penelo inquired.

"The Cache of Glabados was a father's legacy to his family." Balthier simply said. He shrugged his shoulders and then left.

"Where's he going?" Vaan asked as he turned to Fran.

"The hearts of men are wont to pursue ambition." Fran replied, crossing her arms.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Vaan perplexingly asked.

"You don't see Vaan running off like that." Penelo said, seemingly angry.

Vaan is still confused as Fran shakes her head. "Feolthanos took a viera as his wife. Their children are surely the fair-skinned viera from whom Mydia is descended."

Everyone looks at each other and ponders.

Sudden realization hit Kytes. "I just realized something!"

"What is it, kiddo?" Rosalina questioned.

"The Galbana started moving when we brought the Cache onboard, right?"

"Yeah, but what's that got to do with anything?" Filo blinked.

"Oh!" Penelo gasped. "Of course! The Galbana must've been called to Ivalice when we took the Cache! Feolthanos made the airship to bring his family to Lemurés!"

Vaan clenched his fists, and his brows furrowed together. "You mean the Galbana belongs to Feolthanos! ?"

"All this time we've been traveling in a vessel of the Eternal." Llyud stated. "If Feolthanos came from this land, why did he leave it in favor of Lemurés?"

Back on the airship, the gang gathered around on the Bridge.

"So what do we know so far?" Vaan spoke.

"The Judge of Wings is really a viera named Mydia. Only she's not just any viera, she's one of the last of the Exiled viera." Penelo contributed first.

"And she was trying to learn as much as she could about Lemurés." Conway went on.

"The land where eternity dreams." Balthier said next.

Penelo nodded. "Right. She probably wanted to find a way to be with Velis again. And that's why she went looking for the Cache of Glabados- its connection with the Eternal."

Vaan walks forward slightly and thinks, then walks back to where he was and continues thinking. "Along the way she became the Judge of Wings. But what happened to her after she found the Cache?"

"There's the big question, all right." Stephanie said.

"If I may..."

The gang turned to Fran, who had spoken.

"You forget the inscription we found in the ruins."

Penelo gasped. "The inscription!"

"That's when she found a way to get to Lemurés!" Vaan exclaimed.

"The pieces fit. She knew that her tribe of viera were the sons- or daughters, in this case- of Feolthanos. She went to Lemurés looking for him." Balthier explained.

Llyud shook his head, a look of disbelief. "Incredible."

"There's one thing I still don't understand: Why leave a trail that we could follow? Unless she wanted us to find it..." Ashe trailed off.

"Yeah...what's she up to?" Vaan mumbled.

"Well, at least we solved fifty-one questions out of fifty-two or more." Anna said, trying to think positive in the very least, but was of course not helping much.

"For now, let's move on." Daniel joined in.

"Daniel's right," Vaan agreed. He walked up the stairs and pulled out the Cache. But before anything could happen, Tomaj walked in and called out to Vaan.

"Look, Vaan! It's a map! And it's really old!" Filo spoke next.

"We can't read a word." Kytes said.

Vaan raised a brow. "Where'd you dig that up?"

"These two found it in the ruins." Tomaj replied.

Kytes looked down. "We wanted to give it to Larsa. You know, a surprise."

Filo also looked down. "Sorry we didn't tell you."

Fran walked over to the two kids. They handed her the map. "...the hidden village of the daughters of Feolthanos... The Feol viera. They dwell in Roda Volcano- in Bervenia." Fran read and spoke aloud.

"Bervenia?" Stephanie blinked.

"Thank you. This will no doubt prove a vital discovery." Larsa thanked Filo and Kytes. This cheered the two up and brought back their smiles.

"No longer… I'm done."

Lily: Wow... This is getting pretty close...

Erika: I noticed. ;_;

Rosalina: Already?

Daniel: Indeed...

Conway: Well, next chapter is complete. You all know the drill!

Stephanie: Until next time, see ya!
