Mwehehehe... I've decided to turn this into a series of short (really short) stories about the Adept's adventures throughout Weyard. Be prepared for 400 word chapters of (hopefully) humor!
NOTE: These chapters have nothing to do with each other. So if Kraden dies in the first chapter (which he did, yay!) he can still reappear later.
NOTE2: On all my games, I do Mercury Lighthouse first, then Kolima Forest. That's why Mia is with Isaac, Garet, and Ivan.
Chapter Two: Kolima Forest Lake
Take One:
Isaac sighed as he saw a shining pool of water in front of him. "Geez, not another puzzle..." he muttered. The lake, about fifteen feet deep, had logs floating on it and a deep trench toward the eastern end.
Mia walked over to the right. "Hm..." She examined a sign next to a switch. "Caution: Do not touch floodgate," she read.
Ivan walked over. "Well, I hope we reach the heart of the forest soon. We've been wandering for hours."
"Yeah," Garet agreed. "I'm starving."
Isaac sighed again. "Alright, we can have some food..." Garet did a little dance, and then...
"Augh!"
"Garet!"
"No!"
Garet, while dancing strangely, tripped over a rock and hit the switch. The floodgate flew open, and the lake began to drain.
"Aww man, now how are we supposed to reach the other side?" whined Ivan.
The lake was gone. In its stead were a bunch of rocks, logs, and a small stream running through the bottom.
"Oh, I get it!" exclaimed Mia. "The gate dams the stream, and the lake fills up!"
Isaac studied the area carefully. "What stops it from flooding?"
"No idea."
Garet hit the switch again. Slowly, the water filled up. And up. And up. And...
"RUN AWAY!!!" The lake overflowed, sending water cascading over the cliff, and taking four Adepts with it.

The Adepts washed up at the Fuchin Temple hours later. "Why did the lake flood?" asked Ivan.
Garet sheepishly held up a switch labeled "Reality Check" on the top. "Whoops."
Take Two:
(Starts right before Garet hits the switch for the second time.)
"Well," Isaac said, "we might as well find a way to get to the other side. Those logs on the land are blocking are way, and we'd never be able to climb over them."
The group marched down the stairs and began pushing the logs randomly. Chaos ensued.
"Hey! What're you doing with tha—Oof!" A loud splash was heard as Ivan was pushed into the stream.
"Augh! Watch where you're— Hey! Stop that right now! I mean it, Garet. That's not funny! AAAAAHHHHH!" Mia screamed as Garet attempted to run her over with a log.
Isaac frowned. 'Am I the only one actually doing any work around here?'

"Alright, team! We've arranged the logs in an order so that when we fill the basin with water we can jump from log to log and reach the other side and save the forest assuming the logs don't move but I have a strange feeling they won't!" Garet said in a breathless rush.
"Meep."
Isaac, volunteered by Garet to go first, hopping from stable land to shaky log. Oddly enough, the log didn't move at all, other than his end sinking slightly. "I think it's safe!" he called back.
One by one, the Adepts maneuvered their way to the other side. Ivan, the last, hopped onto the land and looked back. "I just had a thought."
Isaac looked at him. "Shoot."
"Well, couldn't we have just swam?"

Core: That was random.
That's the whole idea, isn't it?
Steam: Point for Chaos.
Thanks. So, readers... Review! And stuff. And things. Yah.
