Chapter Three: A World Shrouded in White

Vahn moved through the fields on his way to Drake Castle. He looked up at the sky to admire it. He noticed an unusual cloud there, but then again clouds were always different. He though nothing else of it, and finished the trek to Drake Castle.

Zeto looked into the crystalline structure in front of him. "Fool," he said. "You should never run about when the Mist is coming!" Zeto sarcastically marked. "As soon as my former palace is reinstated I will personally crush him." Zeto stepped away from the crystalline pillar that was about three feet taller than him. The solid black floor met with walls of a tone even darker. There were white sparks trapped within the material that made up the floor shooting all over the place. Zeto sat down in the large throne there. "Disguising this palace as a cloud was a great idea," he said, "I will have to commend Ark later."

"Would anybody care to explain this?!" The village elder asked loudly. "This fog has been here for days! The Genesis Tree held back all of the fog around us for years now."

Out of nowhere, a familiar voice called, "You humans are still so pitiful," it said. The same strange cloud was hanging over the village, blocking the sun. "I remember that voice!" Noa said. She was more mature now, but still hyperactive. "But it can't be! We destroyed him!" Gala said as the winds around them picked up to a gale force. "I am quite alive, I'll assure you," Zeto said as he floated down. He stopped about 30 feet above Rim Elm.

"What do YOU want?" Vahn asked. "Why, nothing much. Just your lives!" Zeto said as waves of energy chorused out from him and down to Vahn, Noa, and Gala. Meta, still holding his powers from before, called forth an Orb spell to heal any damage done and to protect the townspeople. "How on earth did you-" Zeto cut himself off as he realized that they had Meta, Terra, and Ozma back. "Curse you Ra-Seru!" Zeto angrily said. "I know that you've noticed that your precious Genesis Tree isn't holding back that fog!" Zeto yelled out in rage, "Its not fog! Its NEW Mist!" Zeto was surrounded by sparkles of energy and disappeared. The cloud then quickly traveled away.

"This isn't good," Ozma said. A blue wave of energy shot out of him and destroyed a monster that was coming to attack them. "New Mist," Terra wondered aloud. "Well, since the Genesis Trees can't hold it back anymore, then that means… We are no longer impervious to it…" Terra's voice trailed off. "Oh no," Noa said. "Does that mean that we can't defend the world from him?" Noa asked nervously. "I'm afraid so," Meta said.

A bright white light surrounded the three of them and faded. When it faded from around them, they were in the Seru-Kai. They looked around. Three balls of light, one red, one green, and one blue, flew down and materialized into three teenagers. "We are Hari, the lord of dreams" they said together. "Hari!" Noa said. The Hari of the resent steped forward. "We have come to help you," he spoke, "We have come to give you each what you need to be able to travel through the Mist," he said. The Hari of the past, the one with red hair, stepped forward. He placed a pendant around his neck. The others did the same to Noa and Gala. "You must travel through the mist and revive the Genesis Trees again!" the Hari of the future, with blue hair, said. "Go!" the said together. There was a bright flash of light and they were all back.
