The grayness reformed into a beach scene, with Kun'nuk'kles and Sonya trekking toward the distant Sanctuary. Kun'nuk'kles glanced up at the Watchers, and sighed. "They're back," he told Sonya.
"The Watchers?"
"Yes. Apparently they skip over the boring parts."
"That's a bit… cold, isn't it?"
"As far as I can tell, only two of the three actually have emotions. And one of those two isn't very good at it."
"How is it that YOU can perceive them, and I cannot?"
"There is very little that I cannot perceive. Wizardry consists of perception and manipulation, respectively. I am VERY good at both."
They walked on in silence for a few moments. "You have a family, don't you?" Sonya asked.
Another pause. "Yes, I do. My wife and one child."
"Son or daughter?"
"Son. He's named Shik'kai."
"And your wife? What's her name?"
"Minsha. She has brilliant blue eyes…"
"That's nice."
They walked on in silence for perhaps ten minutes, and then came to the entrance of the Sanctuary. "Here it is…" Kun'nuk'kles said. "The Ancient Sanctuary."
"It's… impressive…" Sonya replied, looking up… and up… and up.
"Come on," he said, starting in, with Sonya close behind.
They both stopped to look at the mosaic of the Hedgehog fighting the God. "It's a very odd picture. No one's been able to interpret it yet."
Sonya seemed entranced by the picture. "The Hedgehog with the Speed of Blue shall take on the appearance of the Sun, when the Spirits are United in his possession. But when the God of Metal appears to steal the power away, it shall become focused more. And he shall become as the Rainbow, to fight the God of Metal above the Sky."
"Really? It says all of that? I wonder what it means…"
"I don't think you'll live to find out," came the voice of Chaos Cyan.
