STONES OF MYTH: CHAPTER 4

"This cannot be happening. I have worked to hard to acquire these stones, and some bitch comes along and takes half of them!"

"I am sorry Sir, but they got to us before we could complete the transfer. There is nothing that we could do. We lost 5 of our stones, we still have the 3 other stones garnett, citrine and spinel."

"...And what of the last?"

"We have yet to locate the last. Our computers are not getting stable energy readings."

"What do you mean 'stable readings'?"

"Just before the buildings explode the computer gets a very strong reading. At the last building; after the attack we received two readings. One close to the remains, and another nowhere near any research facility."

"Where was it?"

"The Sank Kingdom."

"What happened?" Setsuna asked when Yoarashi finally entered the room.

"Someone figured out your system." Taking the stone out of her pocket, Yoarashi tossed to over to her guardian. Setsuna sighed.

"I want you to go after 'Pluto' next." Yoarashi eyed the woman, "I thought you had it?" Setsuna shook her head.

"I wasn't able to find it. Makoto, I need you to recover my stone."

"Why. What is so important about your stone? Or the others for that matter?"

"The nine stones represent the nine planets of myth. Each has their own powers, but they all have the same master. Once a stone joins the master they will change into a weapon. The rubilite becomes a fantasy crossbow, the citrine becomes Chinese throwing stars, the moon stone becomes the fang of Baelin, apatite envelopes its wearer in a shield of energy, garnett is a Celtic spear, aquamarine is the war fan, spinel is an Anzac dagger, amethest is the second sword of darkness, and flourite becomes the Greek sword of legend. However, you may not be the master. Makoto you may wield the sword, but none of the others have joined with you. You are not worthy to join with the other stones yet. You must change." Yoarashi looked at her, her mind was coping all of the information into her memory.

"How do I become worthy?" she questioned, slightly dreading the answer.

"You must become perfect."
