Next day...
I don't really remember much, but I do know, Lady Sapphiria and Lady Electra were under our control now. I sat up and held my head, my whole body ached.
" Well. Someone's up, oh great seraphim of Cruxis." Lady Electra said sarcastically.
" What..?" I said, looking to them.
" ... You don't remember? Sorry. Silly me.." Lady Electra said, twirling her staff about. We were in this room, and the floor was water, and you could see under it, I noticed it looked like we were under water, since the water's shimmering surfaced danced on the walls.
" What is this place..." I asked.
" My chamber..." Lady Sapphiria said, she had a head circlet around her head, and a jewel embedded in the middle of it, it was sapphire. Lady Electra on the other hand, also had a head circlet, but hers was different, and had an amber jewel embedded in it, and she was also wearing a dress very similar to Raine's ' Maiden' costume.
After everyone was up...
" We must leave, you are not to remember being in here." Lady Sapphiria said, then we all appeared in front of the Wind Guardian's temple.
" This is your next temple. Please proceed with cation, Lady Farore is the strongest out of all of us..." Lady Sapphiria said, then they both faded.
" We'll be fine, right?" Raine said, smiling.
" No worries.." I said smiling a little.
" Yeah! We'll be A-Okay!" Ami said.
" What.. she said.." Lloyd said, waving to Ami, she smiled.
" I'm fine if.. if it's okay with P-P-P-P-Presea.." Genis said, blushing, Presea smiled and nodded.
" I'm with you all the way!" Sheena said, giving a thumbs up.
" But... Why did Lady Sapphiria seems so worried..." Raine asked.
" She's always like that, C'mon let's go!" I said, running into the temple, Ami was right behind me.
" Ami! Wait up!" Lloyd said, running after her.
" W-wait for us!" Raine called out, then they ran in to...
Inside the temple, there were many doors leading to different rooms... Each had a descending or leading path way. Some of them were weak, most were narrow, and some had even broken up. At the bottom, there were two paths each going a different way, and the lead up. Everyone was amazed..
" Let's pick one!" Ami finally said.
" Wow.." Lloyd said, whistling.
" There's... no strong winds in this area.. are there?" Raine asked, hugging my arm.
" There.. are.. once a certain thing is triggered..." I said, feeling warm, I shook my head then looked to Ami, " You can chose a path.".
" When I get older, I want two children, so path two!" Ami said, pointing to the path the led to the right, then we all went up the path which led to a seemingly dead end. Since there was a huge gap. There was also a switch above the door.
" Well.. what now.." Sheena said.
" Switch discovered above door. Impact with hard object will trigger it." Presea said.
" I see.. Does anyone have a weapon that can be used at this point?" I asked, looking slightly to Ami.
At this, Ami took out one of her guns and aimed it at the switch, then shot. The switch triggered, and a rope shot out from underneath the platform with the door, to the one we were standing on. Also, slight wind picked up.
" Well." Ami said.
Lloyd just gasped sorta.
" We have to walk across that!" Genis cried.
" Yes." Presea said.
" I'll go first." Sheena said, and leapt onto the rope, balancing she was pretty good, and the wind didn't bother her much. I thought she might be trained with this, and finally she was at the other side.
" I'm going next!" Ami said, and when she was half way across the rope, the winds started getting stronger, whipping everyone's hair about.
" Kratos.. I'm scared.." Raine said, clinging tighter, I felt so hot, yet it was so cold..
" Don't worry.." I whispered.
" Ami!" Lloyd said.
Ami was closer to the edge now, so she ran and jumped onto the other side, landing beside Sheena, they high-fived, Lloyd sighed of relief.
Genis went next, and since the wind had died down, he had no trouble. Presea went next, the winds plastered against her face, and she fell back, slipping off the rope and quickly grabbed onto the rope, moving onward using her hands. Finally she reached the other side.
" I... I'm... going next.." Raine said, slowly making progress, then the wind picked up again, and she slipped, like Presea, she grabbed the rope with one hand and cried out.
" R-Raine!" I said, something told me this wasn't going to go the way I hoped it would.
" Ami to the rescue? Or.. no Ami to the rescue..?" Ami said, everyone else was to shocked.
" I.. I hope you succeed.." Raine whispered, closing her eyes and then let her hands slip, and she fell into the darkness.
" Sis!" Genis cried.
" No.." Ami whispered... tears welling up in her eyes.
" Sh-She'll come back.." I said, shaking, and went across the rope, lucky for me the winds died down. Everyone was speechless, and when I reached the other side, Lloyd came across.
" Let's.. carry on, I sense Raine is still alive." Presea said, I stared dazed at the ground.
" Yeah.." Ami said quietly, Genis turned around and took one last look at where Raine had fallen, and then we headed into the next room. Which contained the other doors, one on the wall across from them, and two on the sides.
" Kratos.. you decide." Ami said, everyone turned to me.
" Huh.. what? Oh.. That one.." I said, then made my way to the door on the left by jumping onto the other platforms.
Everyone followed, in the next room, and again there was another switch against the wall.
" Impact set on it will activate. Ami, please do what you must." Presea said, and Ami took out her gun and shot the switch. The switch then turned red and the room shook fiercely, Presea gasped.
" What the-!" Lloyd said, Then the shaking stopped, and a path shoots out and connects with the platform they were standing on, the force and impact of the path connecting with the one they were standing on pushed them against the wall, knocking the air out of the group.
" Path will disappear in 9.5 seconds." Presea said, getting up and wiping the front of her dress.
I got up as well, but didn't bother brushing myself off, as did everyone else 'cept Sheena. Like Presea had said, the path then disappeared.
" What the!" Genis said.
" Don't worry." Sheena said.
" Path will reappear once the switch is hit, and will stay for 20 seconds." Presea calculated.
" Okay everybody, get ready." Ami said, then shot the switch, the path reappeared and we all darted across except Genis. He just stood there and smiled, shaking.
" Genis!" Lloyd cried.
" Lloyd, remember... that time... I.." Genis said, tears welling up in his eyes, he was smiling any how.
" No.. Genis.." Lloyd whispered, shaking his head, Presea stared at Genis, she didn't want him to be left behind. But, everyone knew, magic users took time to move, since they didn't have such high reflexes.
" Please.. go Lloyd.. I want to be with my sister.." Genis said weakly.
" Genis!" Presea cried, then Genis jumped into the darkness.
" We're going to get him back Presea don't worry." Lloyd said, as Presea turned around and left to the next room. Then we all left, in the next room, like before, there was another door across the room, and a switch above it. Ami hit it again, and the room shook fiercely, again, and then a platform shot out of the other wall and smashed into the one we were standing on. ( An: Oh yes. Might I randomly add this, I'm not sure about this, but this song called ' My Humps ' is very... O.o;; ). From the impact of the path hitting the platform we were on, and the gust of wind, we were blown back to the wall we had just came from, sliding down the wall, having the air knocked out of us. As if that hadn't stopped us, arrows from all sides of the walls except for the one we were leaning against had arrows shoot out at us. Presea pulled her closer to me.
" Earthly Protection!" She cried out, and we were surrounded by a green glow.
" Guardian!" Lloyd cried, hugging Ami, they were protected as well.
" Guardian Seal!" Sheena cried, and she was protected as well.
Finally the arrows stopped and everyone let down their guards, sweating and breathing heavily. Caught off guard, a single arrow flew through the air and hit Sheena in the arm, making her fall back and off the platform, letting out a small scream.
" Sheena!" Lloyd cried.
" No!" Ami said.
" Why does this have to happen!" I said, for once, I actually felt scared.
" Don't worry.." Ami said, kneeling beside me.
" How can I not! We're all going to... that's it!" I said, getting up.
" What?" Presea said.
" We all have to jump off this platform!" I said.
" What! Are you insane!" Lloyd cried.
" No.. come on!" I said, then jumped off the ledge, they followed me.
We landed in a cushiony floor, 'cept I landed on Raine, which wasn't to nice.
" Hey, your okay!" Raine said hugging me tightly.
" I could say the same for you guys, what is this place?" Lloyd said, sitting up, they were sealed in a glass container like thing.
" Probably the witch demon's trap." Sheena said bitterly.
" What?" Ami said.
" Err.. nothing." Sheena said, laughing nervously.
" How dare you call me a witch demon!" something from the darkness said.
" It's the Guardian Spirit of Wind!" Genis said.
" No, how dare you call me ugly!" Another voice said, her's was soft and had an air of intelligence.
" I don't get it." Lloyd said, then a light turned on, blinding us all, 'cept me, since I was quite used to it already.
" You, summoner of the Guardian Spirits. Did Light send you to change us back?" The 2nd voice asked, I looked at her, she had long, green flowing hair and a long dress with green vine like designs on it.
" Yes, she did.." Raine said quietly, opening one of her eyes, and letting me go, I got off her.
" I see, my name is Farore." The 2nd voice said.
" Lady Farore, your not going to battle us?" Lloyd asked.
" Not at all.. I have regained my composure..." Lady Farore said, " But I will only join you if you bring forth Lady Electra and Sapphiria.".
"Maiden of the source of electricity, Thy sorceress of Thunder, Appear before me, Lady Electra!" Raine cried out, Lady Electra appeared before us.
" Goddess Farore.. it's been a while.." The Guardian of Lightning said, smiling.
" Ah yes.." Farore said.
" I summon the sorceress of the element water, it's divine reflections, unite before me, as power a to destroy thy evil spirits!" Raine chanted, then Lady Sapphiria appeared beside Lady Electra.
" Farore.." She said softly.
" Can we get on with the introductions now.." The 1st voice said impatiently, she was dressed in a black witch costume, the sleeves clung to her, and the bottoms were ripped slightly, as for the rest of the dress, it was partly see through. She had Violet eyes that could pierce through anything, and her hair was long and black.
" ... As planned." Lady Electra sighed, leaning on her staff, it sizzled from her touching it.
" This is Raine Sage, the summoner of us. As for this one, he's special, Lloyd Irving. The master of Mana and the summoner's sister, Genis Sage, Sheena, the summoner of the elemental spirits. Ami, powerful child. Presea Combatir, Soulless child.. and the destined one, Kratos Aurion." Lady Sapphiria said.
" I see. This is my sister, the Goddess of Darkness. Her temple is being invaded, so she fled. Now it's the source of dark mana. It'll poison you." Farore said, then looked worried.
" What is it?" Lady Electra asked.
" The offering, it hasn't.." Farore said.
" Stupid thing, never is on time." Lady Electra said bitterly.
" I have a name too." The Spirit of Darkness said, " Which is Aurora.".
" Yes, we're both descendants of the powerful Sorceress, and the holy goddess Martel." Farore said.
" Really?" Genis asked.
" Some what." Aurora said.
" Anyway, please, assist us in warding off... ... Sapphiria. There are still 3 more spirits." Farore said.
" Ah.. yes.. but unless we do something about the temple of Darkness..." Lady Sapphiria said with quite some concern.
" Can someone explain here?" Sheena asked.
" Okay, I'll do it. Listen summoner of elements..." Aurora said.
" I prefer Sheena." Sheena said quietly.
" Sheena then, each time you release a guardian and tame her.. an offering will be made. I'm sure.. you've discussed that part before.. Now. There's only been one offering, and that's from the Light guardian summoning you. We all wondered, since you've tamed Water and Lightening there should be 2 more offerings." Aurora explained.
" Yeah.." Sheena said, Lloyd looked confused as well.
" But since there was no offerings..." Aurora said, but trailed off being clueless at the next part.
" Since there was no offering, the enemy thinks we haven't made any progress. We.. should take this as an advantage to sneak up on him, or her." Lloyd said.
" ... Wow, you're smart.." Ami said, surprised.
" Hmm.. alas the twin swordsman is right.." Farore said, although by this time I had snuck one of Lloyd's swords out of his case without him knowing and dragged it to a weak part of the case we were in.
" Kratos.. what are you doing.." Raine whispered watching me.
" You'll see." I whispered back, then managed to lift the sword and slash it across the glass, it shattered and the sword went flying since it slipped, and hit the other wall. Glass rained down on everyone and we all shielded our faces and such.
" You! How dare you!" Aurora cried.
" C'mon, let's go!" I said, taking Raine's hand and running.
" Stop them!" Farore cried, her voice was distant, we never did stop running...
