Bane: And we are back, after the break.

Anti: Now this chapter isn't going to contain much humor, it is Sheena Lloyd part.

GM: I promise to put lots of humor in the next chapter, okay.

Bane: I'll do the disclaimer, Green Magi does not own Tales of Sympthonia, or Namco

GM: I'll make this chapter more detailed, because the last even chapter may have confused some people.

"What? A dwarven tunnel, how would you know that?" Sheena asked Lloyd, looking confused.

"Well, I was raised by a dwarf, so you get to know these things." Lloyd said. "But I do have a feeling that something's not right, like when you know something's wrong."

"You mean besides the fact that we can't use any type of magic, stuck in a cave, and out of food?" Sheena said sarcastically, taking the torch from Lloyd and lighting a torch on the wall which lit up the other torches that were lined up on the wall, therefore illuminating the entire room.

Deciding to ignore that last comment, Lloyd observed his surroundings in awe, there were stone pillars lined up on either side, the floor was made of marble, the walls out of another material which had a bluish glow, and piles of materials next to them, (dwarves aren't exactly the neatest creatures). "Wow, Sheena, look at this craftwork, it must have taken centuries to build. All the effort that must have gone in to this…" Lloyd stepped forward and as he did, stalactites from the ceiling fell toward him, fortunately he dodged them, just barely though, the rock had nearly gone through his arm.

"Lloyd! Are you okay!?" Sheena moved immediately next to Lloyd, who was acting like a statue, not moving at all.

"Sheena, I think this might be from the remains of Dark Elf/Dwarf war. This would explain the traps…" Lloyd said, while Sheena was shocked that Lloyd actually knew something about history. I wonder why she's staring at me…

"Lloyd, how did you know…What do you mean…I would expect this from Raine because she's Ruin Crazed, but you?" Sheena stuttered out a sentence, still amazed that Lloyd knew something from the past.

"Well when you live with a Dwarf, you have to memorize significant Dwarven events." Lloyd explained to Sheena, as if it was obvious. He glanced around the room, looking for more possible traps.

"Now I know you're lying," Sheena couldn't believe what he said, if there was a war, she would have studied it in the Academy. "There were no wars that dwarves were involved in, not even the Kharlan War. And besides, there would have to be at least some evidence that this actually happened." As Sheena stated her point, she walked forward a step, and the seemingly solid marble collapsed into a pit of basilisk, she would have been eaten if Lloyd hadn't grabbed her as she was falling. Sheena then started to blush as she was set down where she was standing before she triggered another trap.

"Doesn't this prove my point?" Lloyd asked Sheena, not sarcastically, but curiously, like he really wanted to know.

"Well, why would dwarves want to hide a war? It doesn't make any sense…" Sheena retorted, not daring to make another move on the marble.

"Dwarves are secretive creatures, that is why most of them live underground instead of above, and it would have been an embarrassment to them because they try to remain neutral." Lloyd was trying to spot anymore traps that might be triggered.

"Even if that was true, there are no such things as Dark Elves, there are no Mizuho records of them ever existing," Sheena was as stubborn as Lloyd when she was stating her opinion. She was going to try and cross again, just to prove that the marble must have just been a weak piece, not a trap. She stepped confidently on another piece of marble, and nothing happened. "See, it was just a coincidence".

"Well, maybe Dark Elves are extinct, wouldn't that explain everything?" Lloyd was worried about what might happen to Sheena, what could happen if the story Dirk told him was true. Maybe she's right, it could have just been a weak piece of marble, and I suppose dwarves may have had a basilisk problem at one time… As Lloyd was pondering this, Sheena took another step, and a stone pillar fell right ahead of Sheena, where she was about to step. She jumped back in time, almost knocking into Lloyd.

"Must have stonites or something" Sheena let out a weak chuckle, she would stay by what she thought till the end.

"Sheena, I know I'm right about this, so we have to be careful, or something bad could happen." Lloyd started out saying this confidently, but it faltered toward the end. "According to dad, the Dark Elves took over most of the mines, until they were finally pushed back in one final outburst. So, logically, they would have riddled the place with traps to harm the dwarves." Lloyd took a step forward, and, as if to prove his point, a dart flew out from a hidden panel of the wall. He easily dodged it.

"I'll listen, for now. So, who wants to go first?" Sheena asked Lloyd, even though it was obvious that he would want to go first, until he got tired of it.

"I can go first!" Lloyd replied enthusiastically, and quickly ran across the marble, to the other side, all the while darts were shooting, pillars were falling down, and the floor was cracking beneath him. "See, easy as…" Lloyd was going to say pie, but making pie isn't exactly that easy. "As making a sandwich"

"Well, here goes nothing…" Sheena proceeded in following Lloyd, but even though Lloyd had triggered most traps, there were a few that were still active. She dodged these with ease, but it tired her. Catching on fire had taken most of her strength.

"Sheena, are you okay? We could always take a break…" Lloyd was worried about her, she wasn't normally like this.

"I'm fine, we should hurry, last time I was in a mine, I was almost eaten by a giant skeleton…" Sheena's mind wandered off as she remembered how she narrowly escaped the giant 4 armed skeleton.

At the End of the Tunnel which led to the Mainland

"We made it!" Lloyd was happy, the end was in site, and snow was falling and light was visible. Sheena, on the other hand, was exhausted. She was almost; eaten alive by a basilisk, set on fire (again), fell into a hole filled with spears, torn apart by a killer rabbit, darted, flattened by a stone column, and impaled on a stalactite. Fortunately, none of that happened.

"No skeletons" Sheena muttered, she was obviously relieved, and the Giant must have given her nightmares for a while. "Let's go!" she said in a louder voice, she couldn't fail now, not after all that.

"I'll go first" Lloyd volunteered again, it seems he enjoys near-death experiences. He also wanted to get out, the air was stale and thick with carbon-dioxide, so he and Sheena could suffocate at any moment. He moved quickly to the other side unharmed, it seemed there were no traps at the end.

"Here goes noth…everything." Sheena changed what she said at the last moment, if she collapsed, it was likely she would suffocate before Lloyd could get her out of the tunnel. She used the last of her energy to move forward to the other side, and, because I'm so evil, she triggered the only trap in this part of the tunnel. A dart flew from the panel which was hidden in the rock, hitting her arm and poisoning her. She managed to get to the outside.

"Sheena!" Lloyd was extremely worried about her, she had turned green. Of course, she wasn't going to ask for help, she rarely asked for help, and even when it was offered, she declined; she had some need to prove herself.

"I'm fine Lloyd, I don't need any help." She told him before she tripped, only to be caught by Lloyd. She would have blushed, if she wasn't green.

"Whether you want help or not, you're getting it." Lloyd actually sounded serious, something you don't hear everyday. Sheena was out of energy, but she wasn't going to have Lloyd carry her, she'd be embarrassed for a long time if that happened. After much difficulty because of the ice, she got up.

"I'll just use you as a cane," she told Lloyd, who looked at her in doubt. He suspected she was tired; all she had to do was ask if they could set camp there.

"Flanoir should be east of here." Lloyd guessed, they had come from the direction of Melekito so it should be east. They started walking slowly in the snow, their footprints were quickly covered. After about half an hour of walking, a blizzard began, not just a blizzard though, it was a hailizard. The hail pelted the two as they futilely attempted to get to Flanoir.

"Lloyd, I need to tell you something." Sheena interrupted the eerie silence that was occurring. Lloyd stopped and turned to face Sheena.

"What is it Sheena? But couldn't it wait for Flanoir?" Lloyd asked her, he wanted her healed quickly, and that could only be done in Flanoir.

I don't think we will make it to Flanoir Sheena was thinking. Not like she would say that, it would be giving up, something she hadn't done for years. So she wanted Lloyd to know something that he seemed to totally ignore. "Lo-Lloyd, I need to tell you that, I lov…" She started to say stuttering, but couldn't finish because at that moment, she was hit on the head by a piece of hail the size of a pineapple. She hit the ground, no longer conscious.

"Sheena! No…" Lloyd thought she was dead, that the poison had weakened her so much that that had been the final health point. But it wasn't, he didn't know that though. Maybe Raine could heal her was his thought. He would have picked her up and carried her, if he hadn't been hit by a murder of Flanoirian Swallows. As he fell to the ground, he saw a figure, and heard a howl before losing consciousness.

Bane: Done, the next chapter will be full of humor and mostly about Noishe.

Anti: Bane, aren't you supposed to be dead?

Bane: I came back

Anti: Why?

GM: Because he is going to be in one of my other stories.

Anti: Shouldn't you finish this one before planning other ones.

GM: No.
