Chapter 06 – Moriko Satzumi

I cradled the little Digi-Egg in my arms as my new Digimon friend named Sanzomon lit a powerful incense stick. The scent felt like it was burning the insides of my nostrils, so I tried to hide my disgust by pressing my knuckles to my nose. The smoky wisps from the stick waved up through the air inside the mystical temple I was stood in.

Aruraumon sat cross legged beside me with her eyes closed as if she were in a deep slumber.

Caught in awe of the ritual, I couldn't help but be drawn by to Sanzomon and the ritual she was performing. She turned to me with her hands stretched out to me. "Bring me the egg, Moriko," Sanzomon asked softly.

I obediently approached her, holding the egg out. "Do you-?

"Shhh." Sanzomon silenced me as she took the egg, putting it down on the sandy floor of the temple. "Brother of moon, burning bright like the sun." She drew a circle in the sand around my Digi-Egg. "Reveal your form and shine your light on Moriko Satzumi."

It felt like a clap of lightning had struck me in my very soul and for a split moment I saw a Digimon. Her eyes stood out most of all. Big and round. Not to mention her large white shin guards that were as pale as snow on her legs. A thick pink ribbon left her hand and tied itself around my wrist, just above my fingerless gloves.

"Who are you?" I asked, watching them vanishing slowly as they replied, saying;

"I'm someone very important. Go back now, someone is waiting for you. Don't worry, we'll meet again soon." She flicked her hand back and I felt myself being dragged backwards, away from this Digimon.

"Moriko. Moriko. Moriko Satzumi, can you hear me?" Sanzomon's peaceful voice whispered in my ear.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a little pale silver head with a long, thin upside-down tear drop on top of itself with little frills all around the base of the tear drop. It was perched on my stomach.

"Moriko, you're awake!" It beamed at me, with its eyes joyfully closed. "I knew you'd wake up!

"Right, yes," I murmured slowly, propping myself up on my elbows.

Aruraumon placed a hand on my shoulder. "Why do you look so worried, Moriko? This is your Diigmon partner. A Digimon in her in-training form called Moonmon," the Digimon explained. "A little spritely character."

Little Moonmon jumped up and down, laughing hysterically. "Oh I am so, so, so excited!" the Digimon exclaimed. "I've been waiting so long for you to come and find me. When your mother brought me and my friends into existences, I was so happy. I was so excited!"

"My mother? What has she got to do with all of this?" I asked, slowly sitting up.

"I think she was the one who brought me into existence- maybe not herself on her own, but I can feel her presence inside of you. I can feel it."

"I don't understand, but I do have a small feeling that you are not talking nonsense. That you are being genuine."

There was an almighty shriek which made me squeeze Moonmon tightly.

"They've found us. Aruraumon they've found us," Sanzomon yelped, hauling me to my feet and shoved me down some steps that led to a passageway. "Follow the passage and don't look back!" She screamed as a throwing star became embedded in her back. She suddenly disappeared without a moment's notice

"Good shot Ninjamon. Now go and get that Aruraumon." One of the attacking Digimon's started to chase me.

"Right Anubismon," their companion laughed, revelling in the fact that they had wiped Sanzomon from the face of this place.

I crept away down the pathway when, at the bottom of the stairs behind me, a rock slab suddenly dropped down blocking the passageway back into the temple. Leaving me in total darkness. I flinched, listening to the absolute silence. All I could hear was my own breathing.

"Moonmon, are you still there?" I asked, even though the last time I saw her, she was in my arms. I felt like like Moonmon wasn't there. I couldn't feel anything.

"Of course I am Moriko. I'm right here in your arms. Can't you feel me here?" the tiny voice replied. "Let's do something about this darkness! It's so creepy!" Moonmon began to glow right there in my arms.

I could see the stony walls on either side of me, illuminated by the silvery glow from Moonmon.

"Moonmon, that's perfect, now we can follow this pathway in the light."

"That's right Moriko now hurry up, let's get out of here before they catch up with us." I started to quicken my pace.

"That was Titamon's goons Anubismon and the leader of the Ninjamons."

"They sound tough."

"Well, Titamon could so easily be defeated if only we had the power of Olympos twelve on our side."

"Who are the Olympos twelve, Moonmon?" I asked, panting heavily because I was now running along the bending passageway. I memorised the turns that I took. Left, right, right, left, left, right. It felt like I was going around in circles but I didn't have much choice. I remained optimistic in the hopes that I would make it out of there.

I was eager to know more about the Olympos twelve and who they were. Would they be the ones to help send me home? I had to know.

"Well there's the eagle of thunder, sky and weather who is named Jupitermon after Jupiter. There's the wolf of genius named Merukimon after Mercury. There's the octopus of weaponry named Volcanusmon after Vulcan. Then there's the bird of earth and fertility named Ceresmon after Ceres. The fish of the sea named Neptunmon after Neptune. The lion of flames named Apollomon after Apollo. Then the dove of love named Venusmon after Venus. The panther of war named Marsmon after Mars. The snake of tactics named Minervamon after Minerva. And the rabbit of ice and water named Dianamon after Diana." Moonmon stopped talking and there was a long pause.

"But Moonmon that is ten Digimon and not twelve like the name Olympos twelve implies."
