Potions & Dragons
Lina and Leon arrived at the Bone Fortress about the same time that Gourry and Rooks had returned to the tree house. The young sorceress was all rested up from her mission, and felt like she could go on for days. It was looking like her revival would happen soon.
Once they arrived, they came across Thesenis and some of her students in the village near the Fort. They were working with the Flowerlings in order to make Triagran - - a potion with incredible destructive power. But they were having trouble finding the ingredients.
So Lina and Leon went to help them look by the Fort's entrance. It wasn't long before they found the three ingredients - - Fairy Scales, Star Sparkles, and Silver Mushrooms. After giving them to they kids, they heard a loud roar.
"It's the Dragon in the castle," one boy remarked, "It screams all night and scares us."
That was Lina and Leon's cue. They went over to the entrance again and opened it up. But they were then attacked by a Skeletal Soldier - - Chaltier's Dragoon. After kicking it up a little bit, they entered the main hallway.
As Lina tried to hit the button that would trigger the elevator, she felt sleeping gas hit her. When she came to, she was in a hallway in the basement. Worried about Leon and Moon GS, she ran around the whole floor. Soon, she discovered the Chocobo in another room, standing there like nothing had ever happened. Lina began to stroke the creature, and they ran for the elevator.
"Now we must hit the switches at the same time. Moon GS, you take the right one while I take the left one," she told her.
They took the elevator to the third floor. Suddenly, Lina felt a dagger cut into her shoulder. When she looked up, the sorceress saw Rutee standing in front of her.
The Dragoon said, "I had a feeling we'd meet again. You are such a fool for helping Kronos. Do you even know what he is planning?"
"No," Lina replied, "I just need to return to life in order to return to my friend Gourry. He's probably worried about me-since we haven't been apart this long in three years."
Rutee looked down at her feet. 'She's in love. Even if she doesn't know it yet, she's definitely in love with this man,' she thought. But then, she looked strait in Lina's eyes. "I'm sorry, but I must kill you anyway. Without you, Kronos will give up. And I won't have to harm Leon."
With that, Rutee dived strait at Lina. The young sorceress was nervous, for she'd never faced a reared warrior with just her sword. But she had to win this fight. With Moon GS's help, Lina managed to fend Rutee off until the warrior was too exhausted to fight on.
The Dragoon retreated, but dropped a key. Lina and Moon GS returned to the second level, where they used the key to unlock Leon from the room he was in. As he slept, he mumbled about his sister. But when he awoke, he denied the whole thing.
They returned to the third floor, where they heard an ominous voice stating, "Well, well, if it isn't Leon the Conqueror. You do remember me, The Deathbringer. I so do remember killing you all those years ago. I won't allow my work to be reversed." With that, a giant skeleton in flowing robes appeared before them.
Lina set her ring to light beams and began to shoot them at the demon. All Leon could do was hit with his ax, as he had no magical items. Soon, Deathbringer went down.
With that out of the way, the duo went across the bridge and into the main chamber. There, the Bone Dragon Chaltier dropped down on them. "So, the Dragoon of Kronos is here for me. That fool, he still selfishly craves Mana. But I won't allow them to defeat me. I'll kill you, and send you back to your home in the Underworld."
"You will be the one to die. I never lose," Lina screamed.
Chaltier began to attack. Contrary to his looks, he attacked with earth rather than darkness. His breath was also quite a dangerous weapon. Lina used her wind beams, as well as the Wind Marimba in order to hit him.
Soon he was down. But just as Leon and Lina headed for the Mana Room, they heard Chaltier yell, "I won't be beaten. Not until you are dead." And then, he began to come back to life with the power from two statues on the ground. The statues were then placed on his back as his body rearranged itself to cope with the warriors' skills.
"Lina," Leon exclaimed, "It appears that the statues are the source of Chaltier's life. Destroy them, and he will also fall."
Lina nodded her head. Then she shot a beam of earth at each of the statues. Instantly, they were shattered. Chaltier began to writhe in pain, and then died.

In the Mana room, Leon began to transfer the power to Kronos as he and Lina let the energy build up inside of them. Their long quest was almost over. With the power from the final stone, they would be able to return to life.
But Lina began to think about what was going on. All of the people they faced didn't seem to be evil. They also made it seem like Lina had been left in the dark about Kronos's true intentions. Rutee had even seemed like she regretted having to kill Lina - - again - - since she wasn't informed.
'Something is going on here, and I must find out what it is,' she thought.
Leon's voice interrupted her reverie. "The final stone is in the White Forest and is guarded by Atwight, the White Dragon. Rutee will surely be there so I want you to keep up your guard. But once we victor, we can come back to life and return to our homes."

Well, I'm adding more mystery and intrigue to this section. This was actually two separate quests, but I grouped them together since they happen in the same place in sequence and the first one is so short. In ToD, Chaltier was the Swordian of Earth That's about it.
