BLL: OK, at this time, I'm not accepting any new entries.
MLR: What?
BLL: Basically, what I'm trying to say is that we are not hiring mercernaires right now, but I will accept new characters at a later date.
MLR: No need to sound so serious.
Rebecca: BLL? Serious? That's pretty funny ^_^

Chapter 10: Discoveries
"Are you awake yet?" asked Sol, looking down at Steve and Lyn.
Slowly, Lyn began to open her eyes.
"I guess you can say so." she said. The Blade Ronin looked at her surroundings. "Where are we?"
"This is my temple, the Sol Temple."
Steve stood up slowly to face the two women. "Right, I guess that explains the tropical setting." He looked at the beautiful beach, and the aquamarine colored ocean. "This is a pretty nice place."
"Thanks!" replied Sol energetically.
"Where is everyone else?" asked Lyn.
"I guess they're with Luna or Mani." Sol said as she turned to the temple. "Let's go in."
The trio walked into the temple, to be greeted with a light green chamber. In the center of the room, their was a symbol carved into the ground. It was a picture of a sun, and a dragon circling it. There was also a small set of steps that led up to a pedestal, seemingly designed to hold a sword.
"That's were I slept until about a year ago, when an old man appeared here and pulled me out." Said Sol quietly.
"But, why are we here?" Steve asked the spirit, confused at why they were the only two that were chosen to come here.
"There is something you need to know." said Sol. "About 1000 years ago, there was a war between humans and dragons, which is now known as the Scouring. We fought in that war, and gave up our power to be put into special blades, to help defeat the dragons. Really, that war shouldn't have happened."
"Why not?" asked Lyn.
"Because, it was a time of peace. The humans may have angered the dragons, but the Daragon fuelled the dragon's rage, because he was not like previous Daragon's."
"This question has been plaguing me for a short while. What is a Daragon?" Steve asked.
"A Daragon is basically put, a Dragon Emperor. But when Nergal took power, he had some... dark ideas. Eventually, it was enough to start a war. When the humans were starting to lose, the Eight Generals came from seemingly nowhere, and defeated the dragons. But before then, three weapons were made to help in future times. But those weapon's couldn't be simply ordinary, they would have to have a powerful spirit infused into them. Which is where we came in. The dragon's last stand was to try to get the Sol Katti, the Mani Katti, and the Luna Katti, as they were extremely powerful. That is because each of these blades would give it's wielder a special magic. The Sol Katti would attack with Meggido, the powerful wrath of the sun. The Mani Katti's special attack was the Demon Bringer, summoning the powers of the dark to attack. The Luna Katti would attack with Crescent Dance, which had held the grace of the Moon."
"So, the last battle of the Scouring was fought over these swords?" asked Lyn.
"Yes." Sol replied.
"OK, so we know a new Dark Daragon is coming, but what can we do to stop him?" Steve asked tersely.
"Well, there was a prophecy... 'When Nergal falls a second time, the Katti's will breathe again. He will come back to start this war again. There will be one, a girl, she shall wield all three, and at her side, will be one that gives her power....'"
"That's it?"
"Yea," said Sol, returning to her normal, cheery personality.
"So, why are we here?" Lyn asked Sol.
"We need to purify the Sol Katti's blade."
"Purify?"
"It's been a thousand years, the sword is definitely not at its full power."
"Oh. OK then."
"Now, Lyn, put the sword in the pedestal and think of warm and sun-filled places...."
"All right." Lyn placed the Sol Katti into the sun shaped pedestal, and sat, thinking of the Sacaen Plains.

Aiden finally dropped his hammer.
"No more, I can't... so tired..." he moaned.
"You have to hurry," said Hitomi. "We don't have much time."
The rest of the group stood outside the Tetra Shrine, preparing for major battles to come. This would be the first target of the dragons when they were released again into the world. They were waiting for Lyn and Steve to return with the newly purified swords to open the door and get the legendary material, Tetra, so that Aiden could forge weapons out of them. But, Kai found fragment's of Tetra, and brought it to Aiden for him to forge it.
While Aiden was forging the 1st Tetra weapon, the troops conversed and relaxed, as it would be the last time for a long time.
Vyper, being bored, decided to speak with Jacen.
"Jacen, can I talk to you?"
"Yes Vyper. What's wrong?"
"I remember you mentioning an item. The Dragon Stone."
"Yes, what about it?"
"Why are you protecting it?"
"Well, there was a prophecy, from where I come from. The purpose of the Dragon Stone was for a dangerous ritual, which involved Tetra. It would summon power from the Sun, the Moon, and Darkness, to form a powerful beast. The beast would be the final test for a mythical warrior."
"Oh, but the stone is real, so that means the prophecy might be true, since there is a Dragon Stone?"
"You could say that."
"Dinner's ready!" cried Lalira from a distance.
"I think we should go..." said Vyper.
"Yes." replied Jacen.
Before they arrived at the Kitchen Tent, however, two familiar figures appeared in the distance.
"It's Lyn and Steve!" said Kai.
Lyn ran quickly to the group. "Equip yourselves quickly," she said. "We're going into the Shrine immediately!"
Lyn turned to face the massive door to the Tetra Shrine. She unsheathed the Sol Katti, and attacked the huge stone slabs that served as an entrance. It glowed a golden yellow. She proceeded to repeat the process with the Mani Katti and the Luna Katti. When the door glowed a night blue, the parted, giving Lyn's Legion space to enter....

Location: The Dragonlands, Majiin region
The quiet ruins of the Majiin region slowly began to change. A dark robe rose from beneath the ancient stone pillars, and it glowed with an evil, crimson aura. It turned to face a small gate. "The Dragon's Gate... you will be open soon...." It whispered.
