Yolei had walked for a long time. But, she finally made it to the mountain
where she had seen Azulongmon land. She knew that he just had to have the
answers she was looking for, and that he would tell her what they were.
Yolei climbed for hours, stopping only about half way through the day for lunch. I hope that he's still up there, she thought. She didn't know if he had taken off when she wasn't looking. All she could hope for was that she would find what she needed, even if Azulongmon was not up there for her to speak with. What's the worst that can happen? She asked herself, he doesn't know anything? That's ridiculous, No one knows more about the digital world than he does.
Finally, Yolei reached the top. But, it was not Azulongmon that she encountered. It was a different digimon, one who looked like a giant flying serpent. Yolei tried to back away, but the digimon heard her. It whipped its head up, looking right at her with its fiery red eyes. "Who would dare tread upon my peak?" it asked in a booming, overpowering voice.
"I am Yolei," she said meekly. It had come out as more of a squeak, but she hoped that he understood. Too late now, she thought, I might as well ask him about my problem. "I was hoping that you could help me."
If she didn't know better, Yolei could have sworn that she saw a smile curl up on the creature's lips. "I am Xiomon, keeper of secrets. I can tell all who visit my peak whatever they wish to know."
"So," Yolei said hopefully, "You will tell me what these horrible dream are about?"
Xiomon curled its head back, baring his teeth. "Yes, but at a cost, my dear," he paused, his serpent tongue shooting out of his mouth a few times, "You must survive the trials."
Yolei did not even have time to consider her answer. The rock crumbled below her, opening to drop her down into the depths of the mountain!
An hour later, Yolei awoke. She rubbed her head, which hurt from the fall. She was lying next to Hawkmon in her kitchen. What's going on here? She stood up, surveying her kitchen.
"Yolei," Hawkmon said, "I was so worried about you."
Yolei whipped her hand up, signaling for silence. Hawkmon complied quickly, noticing the tormented look in his partner's eyes. Yolei was worried about something. But, what could it have been?
"If it is answers you wish to see, then you must pass the trial of three," Xiomon's voice echoed in the kitchen. Hawkmon was on the alert now, waiting to attack. That voice sounded very powerful, and very dangerous. "No challenge will be so great, as the one which decides your fate. And then, when you are finally done; in the end, there will only be one."
"What do you mean?" Yolei yelled out, trying to make sense of it all, "What do I have to do?" She was feeling hysterical; she just wanted to go back to her horrible dream. What was she going to do now? Had she made things worse?
The windows came shattering open; the ceiling was being ripped off of the house. Yolei knew now that she had not been sent home; she was still in the digital world.
