Come to think of it...... nobody cares to say anymore about my work..... so........ *cries*
--------------------------------

The dark grey doors of the library sound out a loud creak as the rusty doors swing open, letting in the light that touches the interiors, unopened and unlightened for centuries. The foot steps echoe through the library halls of mystery, where secrets of ancient lore lay undiscovered for time unaccountable. With the beast now dead, the goup enters Ezethiel's Library with enlightened hopes. They ply through the dust and grime of ages old, searching for the sage master's books. Being the brain of the group, Klaus enters and immediately skims through the books they were able to find.

"Why, these books must be centuries old!! Who knows what we may find in these treasures of history!"

Princess Maya enters next, going through the Magician's personal belongings.

"Well...... we might find a clue in the owners diary, so we should look for it first."

The group begins to search through the thick piles of dust covering the works, hoping to find Ezethiel's diary. An hour later, Prima doll strikes gold behind the 3rd shelf.

"Hey! I think I got it! Hey dad! Is this it?"

"Hmmm..... let me see. This seems to be in old Anggurian. It may take some time to translate it, so we should get back to the Castle so I can work on it. You all should rest."

Back in the castle, they go back to their rooms to rest. Klaus goes into the Castle library to get some quiet time and to translate the old diary. But.... there is of course the one who won't be able to sleep. Outside the Library, Rue paces around in circles, impatientely waiting for any news.

******** The next day ********

The group goes down for breakfast with the King, but without Klaus, as he has been in the library deciphering the diary. They notice Rue, asleep on the couch outside the library doors, and decide to let him rest. They arrive at the table where the King has been waiting for them. The King is the first to strike up a conversation.

"I see that your young friend was able to get into labyrinth alone. Such courage and strength is a rarity in these times."

Hearing this, Claire's face lights up.

"Well.... He's been through a lot my King. But I know him well. He's not that type that just sits idley by.
"I know. He knows that something must be done, and wouldn't let his emotions get in the way, and I respect him for that."

Just then, a hagard Klaus barges in to the Dining room with good news.

"Yes!! I have it!! Finnaly it's done!!"

Taking their leave from the king, the group hurridly moves to the Library to find Rue reading it.

"So..... have you found anything important?"

"Yes. It's a definite lead. Only the last few entrys still exist, but It'ill still be of use. We should read it."

******** Diary ********

August 4, 1693

It's that day again.......... for the 7th time I....... mourn the death of my dearest. Oh....... Kaelia. Why did I..... If I only ....... If only I wasn't so weak. But..... no matter. I have found the way . With it, we will be together for all time! And while I have it, nothing will ever bring us apart! With the truth of beings lying in between time dimensions, I can save her. Yes..... I can save her!!

A few more days...... a few more days....... then it will be finished. Peace at last...... I can hardly wait.

August 7, 1693

Yes.... It is done! My hopes.... her hopes...... will finally be fulfilled. The "Queen Freeze" will allow me to encase her in a time capsule, and transport that capsule to me...... and to my heart. But...... the power source! I have tried hundreds of sources, yet none could supply the tremendous power it needs!! I must find it!! I'm so close!! Nothing will stop me now!! Nothing!!

August 8, 1693

I have found it!! My brother has it!! He has created the ultimate source of power for my key. Tomorrow I must travel to Valen's Fort, and find it. If I have to...... then I'll kill him for it!! I'm close!! My brother will understand!! It's for a good cause!! For his brother!! His death won't be in vain.

Just wait a little more my dear Kaelia. Nothing more shall stand between us.

******** Reality ********

A suddenly saddened Klaus speaks

"The diary ends there"

The diary touched them. The similarities began...

"From the last entry, I guess he wasn't successful. Poor guy......."

"He's lucky. At least he's with her then. Wherever it may be."

They all stared at Rue, deeply surprised and troubled by what he said. Taking his leave, Rue goes out of the castle for some fresh air..... and to think.

"Anyway, I've found a map at the back of the diary. It leads to a Forest called The Verimhelion. We should leave for their tomorrow. Let's get some rest."

"But what about the power source? Based on his writing, he must never have found it. How on Earth are we going to find a source strong enough to run it?" Questioned the princess.

"We'll figure it out when we get there. The important thing is for us to find the "Queen Freeze" and make sure it's still OK."

With that said, the group go their separate ways. Elena and Prima go out to the Castle gardens to play, taking some time off to relax, knowing what lies ahead. Arriving at the gardens, they see Rue, staring off into the sunset while brandishing his Arc Edge.

------------------------------
Ummm...... I was partially braindead while I was doing this chapter, so forgive me if I'm not writing consistently.

With that said...... now I'm late for school!!! *runs away*

*runs back* By the way, I'm planning to make a Fic about how Rod became a vagrant and his belief about the heart. If you have any suggestions, please e-mail because I'm desperately needing some(uhh... no pun intended). *runs away again*
