Chapter 3

When we last left Ness he was standing in the ruins of Carpainter's Temple. There he had found Paula and a restored Mani Mani Statue! How did the statue come to be repaired? Read on…

Happy Happy Village

Ness gasped in awe at the sight of the statue. He and Jeff had destroyed this very statue months ago in Fourside. There were cracks in the statue where it had obviously been fitted together! Ness slowly approached the statue without realizing it. He hand slowly lifted forward to touch the statue, but Paula held his hand back.

Ness's eyes flickered as if he were awakening from a dream. The Mani Mani statue has also been in Ness's dream world, Magicant! It was the representation of his evil side, which he had conquered. Or had he?

Suddenly a loud whining sounded in Ness's head! He clasped his hands over his head. The Mani Mani statue began to glow more brightly than it had before. Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in Ness's head.

"Neeeeess!" the voice called. It was the voice of the Mani Mani Statue. Ness began to fall to his knees, but Paula picked him up. She tried to run, but was slowed down by Ness's weight. Ness's vision started to become foggy.

In his state Ness thought he began to see things. Things like the Mani Mani Statue walking of its pedestal. Paula looked back and did see the Mani Mani statue walking! She looked around to see where she get hide Ness. The closest thing she saw was the path to the Lilliput Steps.

Ness was greatly slowing Paula down until she got an idea! She quickly began using short teleportation bursts. She began to get away from the now mobile Mani Mani Statue. It wasn't long before she reached the Lilliput Steps. Paula prayed that the power of the Sanctuary would help Ness recover.

Suddenly out of the middle of the Steps the statue appeared.

"It is no use running! I now have power over these Sanctuaries. Their power belongs to me." it said. The situation almost seemed hopeless, but Paula had a trick up her sleeve.

Grasping onto Ness she suddenly began to twirl in circles and then she disappeared. Ness hadn't been the only one Poo had been visiting! Poo had taught Paula a new Teleport method. One where you gain energy by twirling in place. She had transport Ness and herself back to the Polestar Preschool.

Paula's father ran outside and helped her bring Ness inside. He laid Ness inside on the couch. Paula stood beside him worried. It seemed the Mani Mani Statue still had some sort of strange power over Ness. But how…

Dalaam

The Master once again stood in the Crystal Room. The globe spun in midair. The dark blotch inside slowly growing. It seemed to be eating away the globe from the inside out. The Master slowly took a relaxing breath. Outside dark clouds began to surround Dalaam.

Slowly the energies that were supporting Dalaam were fading away. Soon they would vanish and Dalaam would fall into the sea below. The world was being consumed by evil. The Chosen Ones, Ness, Paula, Jeff and Poo were being weakened.

Poo had been fighting off the invaders of Dalaam. The Master felt that a powerful force was consuming Ness and soon a powerful evil would come for Paula. Jeff, the genius would soon face the challenge of his life.

Whoever was behind this assault had planned it well. And little did anybody know that this was only the beginning…

What is happening to the Chosen Four. What's happening to Ness. And how does the Mani Mani Statue control the power of the Sanctuaries. Find out more in Chapter 4 of the Seed of Giygas.
