"Aye, I have a brother. His name Harnk." Dirk told them.
"Why did you never tell me I had an uncle?" Lloyd asked him.
"Well Harnk lives in the dwarven city. I left a long time ago to live here on the surface instead. The dwarven city is nearly impossible to get to from up here. I didn't think it was important for you two know. I'm not the most popular fellow down in Adamor." Dirk explained.
"If it is so difficult to reach it must be quite the feat for Genis and Sheena to be down there."Raine decided.
"Thats true. These Onori must be quite strong to be able to send them there," Dirk said.
"Stong isn't even the word for it..."Zelos said as he remembered the failed attack.
"Is it a good idea for surface dwellers to be in the city?" Regal asked suddenly.
"Normally I would say no, but this situation seems strange," a new voice said.
Altessa walked up beside them.
"Whoa Altessa what are you doing here?" Lloyd asked him.
"Well I recieved a message that there was something going on in Adamor so I came to see if Dirk knew anything about it," Altessa explained.
"I see. So something is brewing down there, I wonder if it has anything to do with Genis and Sheena..."Raine wondered.
"I think there's only one way to find out,"Lloyd said.
"Of course you do,"Raine replied, "You want to go down there and see for yourself. You heard Dirk it's very difficult to get down there."
"I think I know of someone who could get us there." Presea spoke up.
Harnk had talked to some people and contacted his brother on the surface. He then led Genis and Sheena to a mansion. It was comparable in size to Zelos' mansion.
"Whoa! This place is massive..."Genis was in awe.
"Yes. No one is exactly sure how but Dubin came into a good deal of Gald. Some people claim he made a deal with Cruxius but that is merely speculation." Harnk told him.
"I don't trust him already..."Sheena warned them.
They walked up to the front door and rang the bell. A small weasely looking dwarf answered it.
"Hello Dubin!" Harnk said with a friendly voice.
"Oh...it's you..."
"Isn't he friendly?"Sheena whispered to Genis.
Genis giggled,"No kidding."
"I brought the summoner and the half-elf. I understand you wish to speak with them." Harnk started to look nervous.
"Indeed. You can go now..." Dubin said.
"But...
"Now! Lest we be forgetting...
"No, I'll leave. Good luck guys. I'll meet up with you later." Harnk hurried off down the road.
"What was that all about?"Genis asked Sheena.
"I have no idea. I just hope this rude little punk can get us back to the surface." she whispered back.
"I heard that young lady,"Dubin said as the door slammed behind them," And I have no intention of letting you go anywhere."
Sheena and Genis were shocked as the dwarf transformed.
"What makes you believe that I should help you?"
"Gimme a break Yuan. You know something weird is going on." Lloyd told him.
"If you are talking about these 'Onori' then I can tell you the Renegades are looking into it," Yuan replied.
"Yuan, I understand you have the ability to gain access to Adamor, since you were a member of Cruxius."Regal brought up.
"That may be so...
"You know what Yuan, you hot air bag. I'm sick of listening to you toy with us. You ARE going to get us down there, do you understand me?"Zelos had suddenly becme very angry.
Yuan sighed,"Fine Whatever, I'll get you down...
Yuan was interuppted by a Renegade rushing into his office.
"Lord Yuan, that group of 20 you sent to investigate the Onori have all been massaccred." he reported.
"What? Lloyd, suddenly I'm interested in helping you let's go." Yuan suddenly looked concerned and grabbed his Rheiarrd.
Yuan and the others hopped on the Rheiards and flew off.
While they were flying Colette was talking with Raine.
"Did you notice how angry Zelos got when it seemed that Yuan wasn't going to take us there?"
"Indeed. Sheena must be quite important to him." Raine said.
"She's important to me too. So is Genis!" Colette said with a big smile.
"You're right Colette, but it seems that Zelos has an infatuation toward Sheena," Raine told her.
"Infatuation?"
"Never mind Colette, never mind...
"What the...what are you?" Genis looked scared.
"What I am is un-important. What is important is what you two are. The last two pieces of my puzzle."
What the dwarf had transformed into was odd. He looked like a ghost. He was black and without form. He had two glowing red eyes and four arms. Two of which were scythes and two of which were tentacles.
"What do you need us for?"Sheena asked.
"One of you is an incredible source of mana. The other has connections with the Summon Spirits. My master desired both of these things. So the first order of business...
"Wait! Who is this master you spoke of and what makes you think I'll lend you a drop of Mana." Genis asked.
"Hahahaha. You make me laugh half-elf. I'm not going to waste time explaining anything to you.Your time is up anyway."
The spirit shot out a tentacle which pierced Genis right through the middle. It raised him in the air. Genis's mana flowed through the tentacle and into a strange container the spirit had. Once the mana was all gone the spirit dropped Genis's lifless body to the floor.
"You Monster! How could you I'll kill you!" Sheena screamed and charged him.
"Tut Tut Tut. I'm afraid I can't let you kill me." he swiffed out the way. He shot out a dark beam and struck Sheena.
Her scream echoed throughout the entire mansion.
Thats all for this Chapter folks. I changed the legend of the Summon Spirits by the way. Before anyone yell's at me Genis is like my favourite character. Just deal with his death for the time being.
