Author's Notes

Well I've been having some problems actually being able to write. School and all, but I have finally made it and I'll write you this chapter. So today as a special guest please welcome a very important man. Not to mention a wise man, he is the king of Lemuria, King Hydros!

Hydros:-"Good day young one. I hope this is worth it. I had to pass through time and space and these old bones have their limits"-

Don't need to worry here man it'll be worth it, I promise. All you have to do is read my story and say what you think 'bout it

Hydros:-"Very well"-

Ok then lets start

The Test of Trust

It wasn't a very long sleep, a sort of 5 hour sleep, our heroes weren't entirely rested.

-"Yawn How much did we actually sleep?"- asked Zelos

-"Well… around 5 hours only, don't worry though well have a nice deserved sleep later"- said Lloyd

-"Yeah, c'mon I have a feeling we'll find another of our friends around here"- said Isaac

-"Who made you leader?"- asked Zelos defiantly

-"I'm just saying we shouldn't dwell here for long, who knows what could attack us"- said Isaac glaring at Zelos. Lloyd could tell they weren't very happy to be playing as a team

-"Ok you two stop. You perverted idiot have to cool down, Isaac is trying to help. And same goes for you Isaac, if we want to survive here we HAVE to work together"- said Jenna

-"She's right"- Lloyd added

-"I don't feel very happy about this but since your ok with it Lloyd then I guess I'm down with it too"- said Zelos

-"Yeah, and after the beating Jenna gave this guy I don't feel like defying Jenna"- said Isaac. Zelos again glared at him

-"Ok enough, let's go"- said Lloyd. They began walking heading to the north. Though they had no idea where the heck they were heading they knew they were close. Along the way they didn't face many hard enemies, since the monsters weren't exactly attacking them, rather trying to anger them. They crossed what it seemed like ruins of an old town. These ruins had a sign saying

To All the Travelers:

These are the ruins of our old town. Please watch your step when trying to pass through here since they have been damaged very highly. On a side note: You must cross with a team. Only showing team work will one be able to cross our ruins

Sincerely: Elder Mohad

-"Well it's a good thing were on a team huh guys?"- said Lloyd. Jenna and Isaac nodded but Zelos thought differently

-"Yeah, Lloyd and I, and the hot girl if she wants are the team. You on the other hand aren't worth our precious time so you can just walk the way you came"- said Zelos. Isaac was beginning to grow angry

-"Ok Zelos let's get one thing straight here: We are a team now, and that includes Isaac. You have to learn to get along or else. We know nothing of this place, what's its name or who the hell brought us and why, that's why we must keep it cool and fight as a team. We if we keep this war up we'll never escape here and find the others"- said Lloyd. Zelos looked at him, as if asking Lloyd if he was kidding.

-"hmm… maybe I am taking this to the extreme"- said Zelos

-"So do we have a truce?"- asked Isaac stretching his hand out to Zelos

-"…no, I promise not to fight with you, but I can't trust you, not yet at least"- said Zelos

-"Fair enough"- said Isaac. They began entering the ruins. The place was very damp and mostly covered by grass. Parts were actually dry but mostly it was all damp. The sound of water could be heard from underneath they're foots and the place was full of small animals like rats, bats and insects.

-"Well this is a rather interesting place"- said Zelos. He gave a few steps and accidentally stepped on a rat. The rat reacted immediately by biting Zelos in his ankle.

-"Ouch… what the hell! Is that rat… green?"- said Zelos as he saw the rat scurrying away.

-"It bite you didn't it?"- asked Lloyd

-"Yeah but I'm ok, no rat's going to take me down. Let's go!"- said Zelos. Everybody looked at him, Lloyd himself was concerned. He had never in his life seen a green rat and surely there would be side-effects from the bite. But they couldn't worry about this right now; they had to find the others. As they kept walking they noticed a strange contraption. It was a machine with what seemed like a lever and some platforms, underneath the platforms was a nearly endless pit.

-"Well this is an intricate machine. We should've brought the professor to test it out"- said Lloyd

-"And we should've brought Kraden"- said Isaac

-"hmm… maybe if somebody steps on the platform the other could move them with this lever"- said Jenna. She moved the lever a bit and the platforms gave a complete circle around to the other side.

-"Ok so whose going to stay and move the lever?"- asked Isaac

-"I'll stay"- said Lloyd. He moved the lever to its original position making the platforms also regain they're original positions. Isaac jumped first, then came Jenna. Hen it was Zelos's turn

-"Ok Zelos, you ready?"- asked Lloyd

-"Yeah"- said Zelos. He jumped on the platforms. Lloyd pulled the lever however this time it broke! The platforms began spinning wildly.

-"Ah! Somebody make this stop!"- said Zelos trying to hold on to the platform supporter

-"What do we do?"- asked Jenna

-"Leave it to me!"- said Lloyd

-"You could use help"- said Isaac

-"No, just stay put I can handle this"- said Lloyd. He closed his eyes. Isaac thought Lloyd was crazy and he thought it even more when Lloyd made a jump trying to land on the platform. Lloyd on the other hand was very courageous though he didn't manage to land on the platform. He jumped from the walls onto the spinning machine. He saw how Zelos was holding tightly to the supporter.

-"C'mon Zelos!"- said Lloyd

-"I… I don't feel to good…"- said Zelos and he fainted letting go of the supporter. Lloyd managed to grab his arm and make a break for it luckily landing on the side he wanted to land.

-"Zelos you idiot wake up!"- said Lloyd shacking Zelos forcefully

-"What's going on?"- asked Isaac

-"He seems to be fading away. What's up with him?"- asked Lloyd. Spark appeared out of nowhere on Jenna's shoulder

-"I know what he has Miss Jenna"- said the small djinn

-"What?"- asked Jenna

-"He's poisoned! Oh goody, can I revive him now?"- asked Spark

-"Spark! Sorry its just Spark gets a bit overexcited when we need to use his ability"- said Jenna

-"I can heal him Spark. Sorry but you'll have to wait for a while longer"- said Isaac. Spark frowned and disappeared.

-"Are you sure you can heal him? I mean only person I know who can use healing arts is the professor and she isn't around. And you don't seem to have any healing materials"- said Lloyd

-"Don't worry, I can manage"- said Isaac. Lloyd stepped back a bit and saw how Isaac started to be surrounded by a green aura. He then saw how Isaac made what seemed like magic and at an instant Zelos had been cured

-"Damn… it seems this place takes more psyenergy than at home, I won't be able to heal his wounds"- said Isaac.

-"Then we should rest here. We could all use some energy"- said Lloyd

-"I agree"- said Jenna. So they made a small encampment on that ruin. However what awaited them beyond even they feared.
