Luna awoke, sore as usual from falling. She got up and stumbled from the room out ot where Bobby was. Luna looked at Bobby and her vision got fuzzy. She blinked a couple of times and then began to fall. Bobby wasn't able to stop the fall, but he was able to soften it.
"Are you alright?"
"Um, yeah. I stumbled, that's all." Luna said, wanting to get going. She got back to her feet and started toward the door that led outside, even though she was still wobbly on her feet. She stumbled a little, and hoped that it wasn't enough for Bobby to notice. By the time they reached they hallway above, Luna was feeling better. They walked a few steps down the hallway when the three middle sections of the ice disappeared.
"I was wondering why it was so easy to get to the Chamber." Luna said as she sawa door open up on their left. They went into the door and down a ramp, which led to a room below. Luna and Bobby looked around, trying to figure out where to start. Luna noticed some ice on a slope on the left side of the room and more ice across from it on the right side. That was when she noticed the small pillar in the room.
"Look. Think that has something to do with the ice?" Luna asked, nodding toward the pillar.
"Maybe." Bobby replied. Luna and Bobby walked up to the pillar and Luna was going to push it when Bobby moved in and said,
"Let me do it. You need to save your energy, what little you have left."
"I'm fine. My energy level is right where it needs to be. Besides, I want to do it. I love working puzzles. That's all the Cloister of Trials is, a big puzzle." Luna said as she took her spot back from Bobby.
"Oh, ok." Bobby said, backing off. Luna knew she didn't have that much energy left, but she didn't want Bobby to know that. She wanted to get going as soon as possible. She grabbed the pillar and started to push it toward the chunk of ice on the right side of the room, which was in front of the pillar. Just as she had started to push it, it slipped out from under her hands and continued to slide until it hit the ice, where it stopped. Luna walked up the pillar, and then noticed that the other chunk of ice was right across from it on the other side of the room.
Luna walked around the pillar, making herself face the chunck of ice, and then pushed it again. It slid, hit the ice, and then kept going this time. As she watched it slide down a slope, which was hidden by the ice. Luna immeaditly became curious and went down the slope, wanting to know what was beneath her. When she reached the bottom of the slope, she saw that a thick piece of ice had stopped the pillar. Luna looked around the room as Bobby arrived. She didn't see him, but she felt his presence. Luna looked to her right and saw a pole coming down from the ceiling and remembered seeing one just like it in the Djose temple.
That gave her an idea. She quickly looked to the left and saw side of the room. There in the wall just on the left side of the of the doorway was a glyph sphere. That one won't work, Luna thought. She She spun around and ran straight into Bobby. If it wasn't for him catching her, she would have fallen on the floor.
"Getting a little excited?" Bobby asked as he picked her up.
"Naw. I just really like doing this." Luna said with a smile when she was back on her feet. "I gotta go back up there." Luna said, walking past Bobby and up the slope. When she got there, she looked around the room. There were two Macalania spheres. One right next to her, which seemed to support the slope that led to the room below, and one in the back of the room on the right.
Luna walked over to the far sphere and grabbed it. She went back to the room below, where she placed it in the pillar. Luna pushed the pillar and it slid under the pole coming from the ceiling and Luna watched the two things come together. She heard something happen above and then turned. She was going to go see what it was, but then caught sight of the glyph sphere in the wall on the left side of the doorway.
She looked a little past that and saw another place for a sphere on the same wall. Luna took the sphere and plaed it in the hole next to it. When she done so, the wasl right above it trembled and then moved up. Luna went back up to the upper room and saw that one of the ice pieces reapeared. Beneath the slope that led to the hallway above, she saw a sphere sitting int he wall that had moved up from the room below. Upon closer inspection, Luna noticed that it was a Macalania sphere. She grabbed it and put it in the pole closest to her. She looked up and saw that the ice piece had returned. That leaves the one on the right, Luna thought as she looked around. She saw the Macalania sphere by the slope that led to the lower room.
She walked over and thought, wonder what happens when I take this out. Luna pulled the sphere out of it's resting place as Bobby was about half way up the slope, and she heard him hit the floor. She looked down at him, her eyes wide.
"Are you alright? I didn't see you, I'm sorry."
"Yeah, I'm fine." Bobby said, getting up.
"Move out of the way and I'll fix it so you can come back up here." Bobby walked farther into the room and Luna placed the sphere back into the hole it was resting in. Bobby came up to the room, this time without accident.
"Now what do we do? We still have one more section, but the only sphere we have is this one and it needs to go down there." Luna said. Then it hit her. She went and grabbed the sphere that she had just put into place, and the ice piece above her disappeared again. She walked past Bobby and back down to the lower room. She walked to the pole of the right side of the room and placed the sphere in the hole of the pole. Luna walked back up to the upper room and saw that the ice piece closest to the exit had returned.
Luna went back to the upper room and took the sphere that supported the slope. She walked back over to the pole in the and placed the sphere in the correct place and the middle piece of ice appeared. Luna looked up and smiled. She was so tired. She didn't say anything because she didn't want Bobby to worry about her. She had been feeling light-headed for the past five minutes, and she was fighting to keep her eyes open.
She climbed the slope to the hallway above, Bobby right behind her. Luna stumbled a little and Bobby asked,
"Are you ok, Luna?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." Luna tried to assure him. Each step was getting harder and harder to take. Juat as they reached the stairs to the outter room, Luna stumbled again. Before Bobby could get close enough to catch her, she was falling. At first it didn't seem real. That was until Luna heard a snap. She fell to the bottom of the stairs, and laid there. She wanted to get up, but she just felt so tired and weak. There was a dull pain in her right arm. It kind of felt as if someone was tugging on her arm, but not hard. Just hard enough to feel it. She had closed her eyes, and opened them when she felt someone touch her. She looked up to see Bobby knelt beside her, a worried look on his face.
"I'm so tired, but I know we should get going." Luna said, trying to get up.
"No. Don't get up. You need to save your strength."
"But-"
"Luna, just lay back down."
"Ok." Luna said softly as the darkness overtook her.
