Fox landed the Arwing on the top of the Palace. This was where he had first seen Krystal. How hauntingly beautiful she had looked suspended in the crystal above his head.
But there was nothing here now, but a void, not unlike the one in Fox's heart. No Krazoa, No crystal, and no Krystal. Fox then heard a voice coming from the lowest floor of the Palace. Fox made his way down to where the voice was coming from. Finally! He had found the dinosaurs, Earthwalkers, Cloudrunners, Lightfoots, Hightops, Snowhorns, Throntail, Sharpclaw, and even Red-Eye.

"My friends! Dark days are upon us! We must end our petty differences amongst one another for the children's sake. Together, as one, we will find the heirs, we will find the Priestess, and we will save our World. So Krazoa help us, We will prevail!"

A roar of agreement came from the crowd. The voice sounded familiar to Fox. He climbed up on a statue to get a better look. Fox saw it was the King Earthwalker, behind him the Queen, she was crying. He didn't see the Prince Tricky anywhere. Fox made his way up to the King and Queen.

"Thank Krazoa Fox! You….Krystal….attack…gone….Tricky…MY BABY!" The Queen sputtered between sobs.

"Welcome Fox! I see you received the distress call, very good. I should explain what's going on. A few days ago there was an attack on the Citadel at Cloudrunner Fortress. You recall Krystal had been residing there?"

Fox nodded.

"Well, nobody had time to fight, the attack happened so quickly. The Priestess went out in search of…"

Fox looked confused.

"Sorry," the King apologized "Krystal was made the Priestess of the Planet, anyways, she left that morning , and we haven't heard from her in a week. We sent our best troops, one battalion from each tribe, and Tri…..Tricky led the troops of Earthwalkers, his mother and I were weary of his decision, but allowed it. We last heard from them 5 days ago. The Commanders of each battalion, are the heirs to each the thrones of each tribe."

Fox managed to ask "The attack on the Citadel, was anyone hurt?"

"Not seriously, scrapes, bruises, that sort of thing."

"I see, please continue."

"Well, the last time we heard from them they were outside Cloudrunner Fortress. You know how Tricky was about that place, but he decided to do it, for Krystal. As you can imagine, because of the conflicts between Earthwalkers and Cloudrunners, rumors began to spread like wildfire after the troops disappeared. Until we learned that the heirs to the Cloudrunner throne had also joined the cause."

The Queen Cloudrunner came forward " My tribe has left the sanctity of our home, for fear of the evil dwelling by that place. We have also lost our heirs, and my children. The Priestess is loved by the entire planet, and we would stop at no means to finding and bringing her home, safe and sound."

The King continued "There has also been several rumors of General Scales return to the planet, although nothing has been confirmed yet,"

"I see" Fox said.

"Although the other day, Tricky was playing with some friends around the Warpstone in Thorntail Hollow, and he said he heard voices through the stone coming from the Palace, but couldn't investigate because the Warpstone can not transport dinosaurs."

"Do you know what Krystal might have been searching for when she left that morning?"

The Queen Earthwalker answered "No, but she said something about Cerinia…you…the truth…, does it make any sense to you Fox?"

He thought, what could she mean by the truth? The truth about her parents and the destruction of Cerina? His mind suddenly flashed back to his last night on the planet."
