Sorry, I just never got around to doing that any clearer… ;-)

*Razor took only a few steps in before it was so dark that he couldn't see, and he quickly used one wall to guide himself. Cisait looked back after a little, his pale gold eyes penetrating the darkness. Razor managed to get through the cavern, and he quickly begins to see a blue light at the end. As he got into the room, he shivered. It was quite cold in there, though Cisait didn't seem to notice, rearing up onto his haunches to look through a high shelf, which was part of a massive bookcase in the room, which in itself was at least 500 yards wide and long, probably bigger. Razor saw as Cisait brought down a book that was quite a bit larger than Razor was used to… bigger than Razor, actually. Cisait put the book down in front of Razor, and flipped through the pages, lying down. Razor was made slightly nervous by the fact that he couldn't see over Cisait's thick wrists, and that he really had no way out… except straight ahead. Razor shook it off and looked down at the giant book.*

Cisait: Here…

*Razor scanned the pages, looking at the various drawings that looked back at him. There were nine, he realized, of these drawings of gems that all looked like some form of magic, for they all had energies inside them. The Jade of Justice, Agate of the Angels, Pearl of Peace, and the Garnet of Grace. Those first four made him smile slightly, and he carefully memorized each of their appearances.*

Razor *thinking: I might be able to use those...

*Razor read on, and his smile dropped as he saw the next four. The Opal of Oppression, Diamond of the Demons, Amethyst of Anarchy, and the Sapphire of Satan. Razor shuddered, trying to figure out the reason for those four. The final one was called the Ruby of Royalty, and Razor shook it all off. Razor remembered the first four, and looked up at Cisait.*

Razor: Thank you… I think these will do the trick if I can find them… thank you…

*Cisait closed the book, putting it back on the shelf. Razor just noticed that Sparks had followed them in. Razor looked at Cisait as he came back down, and chuckled slightly.*

Razor: We should probably go… Later, Cisait…
Cisait: Later.

*Razor headed back out of the cavern, and looked about the cliff he was on, trying to find a way down. Razor noticed Cisait poke his head out from the cavern, and he looked over at Cisait.*

Razor: You wouldn't mind if you… got us down from here?

*Cisait chuckled, and shook his head, bringing his head to the ground so Razor and Sparks could get on his back. They climbed on, and before too long, they were back on the ground, in the jungle once again.*

Razor: Thanks man… and… see you later…
Cisait: Later man… be careful…

*Razor and Sparks started to walk off, beginning their search for the Patron Gems, into the jungle.*

Location: Mysin
Time: Late Afternoon/Early Evening

*They were in the forest, looking throughout the area, when Razor heard this small feminine voice a little to his left, running like a motorboat. He looked over, and saw no one, but he quickly became aware of a small white blur on a leaf. As Razor saw it, it seemed to see him, and flew up near his face.*

Voice: HihowareyouI'mgoodwhat'syourname????

*Razor took a breath to speak, but the small fairy continued.*

Fairy: Myname'sAitayoulooklikeyou'relookingforsomethingwhatchalookin'forandyoustillhaven'ttoldmeyourname!

Razor: Don't worry, I think I can defend myself…

*Razor started off, leaving the obnoxious fairy behind. He looked through the foliage, and he saw another white blur. Razor, expecting the worst, went up to it, hoping to get better information from it. As he got near it, he realized that it was a male fairy this time, and he was polishing something, and taking a great effort to do so. As Razor got a close look, he realized it to be a pearl… and it had the grayish glow on the inside.*

Razor *thinking*: The pearl of peace... wow... that one was easy... now to get it from the little guy...

*Razor spoke, softly to keep from startling the fairy.*

Razor: Hello…

*The fairy turned, and saw Razor.*

Fairy: Oh, hello…
Razor: What have you got there?
Fairy: One of the loveliest pearls you've ever seen, isn't it?
Razor: Yes… it is… and, I was wondering… what would it take for you to give me that pearl?
Fairy: Tell me why you need such a pearl…
Razor: Well… you might think I'm crazy, but I think that if I can get these specific gems, called the Patron Gems… I might stand a better chance for freeing my brother…
Fairy: Where is your brother? I mean, if I may ask…
Razor: He's in Hell, I—

*At this, the fairy darted behind the pearl, and Razor saw it slowly roll to him.*

Fairy *earnestly*: Then you need it! Take it, take it!

*Razor chuckled, and picked it up, the fairy stopping as he did so. Razor put the pearl in his backpack carefully, so that he could easily find it again.*

Razor: Thank you…
Fairy: No problem… tell me how it turns out…

*Razor nodded, and started to walk away before the fairy called after him.*

Fairy: Sir, I think that there is another Patron Gem up in a cavern at the top of Mount Nyrisi!
Razor: Where would that be?
Fairy: Look behind you, it is the tallest mountain you see.

*Razor saw the mountain, and started to walk toward it, but suddenly remembered the photo shoot he had to do the next day, which may have already come for all he knew. Razor found a portal out, and he and Sparks left the dimension, heading back to the Quantum Universe.*
