This is the second chapter. Sorry the first was so short, and I messed up on the name. Sorry! I hope I did better in this chapter.

As we arrived students clustered around Xaviar. I left him to be patted and kissed and entered the 'abandoned' jewelry shop. As I entered I heard soft whispering. However, I couldn't quite make out what was being said. I walked over to Pandora's box and opened it slowly. Suddenly I was standing in Florina's room, along with Elazul, Lady Blackpearl and Alex. Alex, however, was lying in Florina's bed. Florina's eyes were red and puffed up.

"What happened here?" I asked Lady Blackpearl, because she was the most likely to explain it how it is.

"When we saved you after you cried for us we used up all the magic in healing we had left. Sandra's core was practically destroyed and we were to busy fussing over you to notice."

"Okay, so I have to save Sandra. What does this have to do with Alex?"

"Sandra's dead. You have to revive her, and Alex is Sandra,"

"Wow, really? Why is Florina so upset?" I asked, for at that point she had burst out crying.

"When Alex was 'keeping her safe' she had fallen in love with him. She is now dealing with the fact that her love is dead, he was holding her until her core was needed and is, in fact, a woman. We learned who Alex really is when he too went missing as Florina did," Blackpearl explained clearly and without much emotion, other then distaste.

"Well, what if by some miraculous coincidence, Sandra had fallen for Florina as well? I don't think your being very fair on Sandra's part," I said, reprovingly.

"None the less, we need you to save her. Florina's core, which had been battered and had even fallen apart at one point, is under great stress, and if you don't Florina too would die. There is no way to revive a Jumi with a core that badly hurt," Elazul said grimly.

"So, how do I do that?"

Florina had calmed down by that point and walked towards me with a small, black pouch.

"This bag is filled with shards of 20 Jumi cores. We need you to find these 20 Jumi and bring them here. However, they do not yet realize they are Jumi. Their core is hidden. These are called Unawakened. So you also must awaken them. Just give them their shard. We do not know who they are, just what gemstone they represent." She sat on the bed near Sandra/Alex and swept her hair off her face.

"Ok, how long do I have?" I asked sensibly.

"That is undetermined," replied Blackpearl.

"Ok then," I said slightly worried.

I opened the bag and all the shard flashed at once. I was left standing outside the Box.

I sighed and left the shop only to see Xaviar, blowing sparks of blue flame for the students. I stepped into the sun and told Xaviar it was time to move. The students protested greatly, but I was not moved. I took out a shard, which was black with gold speckles, the Nebula Stone. It flashed once and I had a feeling to go towards the library. As I entered the shard got warmer and I was told to go across the balcony. Thesenis was with some students, complaining about not being able to do an experiment because of the fact that Nunuzac was in the perimeter. I stepped towards her, with all her students crowding behind Xaviar, and I, mostly him. I cleared my throat.

"Excuse me Thesenis? Is this yours?" I held out the stone that was verging on hot. She shook her head solemnly.

"Are you sure? I asked. The stone was really hot! She looked at it again and shook her head once more.

" Ow!" I said, accidentally tossing the stone at Thesenis.

When it touched her it melted into her past all the bandages she was wearing. She then lit up blindingly in a black flash and the bandages unraveled at her feet. The light started to fade and left a gray skinned beauty in a slinky Egypt like gown. It was low cut exposing a Nebula Stone core. She touched it lightly and it flashed.

"I'm a Jumi?" she asked softly, ignoring the cheers of the students and shouts of surprise.

"Apparently." I said and quickly explained the issue. She nodded saying that she would come when called for. I nodded and pulled out the next stone, dark gray, Galena. However I dropped it immediately, for it was burning hot. Thesenis can't have two cores, can she? I thought. The shard rolled over the banister and I her a clang of metal. There was another flash from below a bright, colorful flash, this time and I ran to the banister. I saw a rather handsome man lying necked with Nunuzac's body on top of him. I then saw the Galena Jumi core and realized that was Nunuzac! I asked Thesenis to explain and took out the next shard, feeling like this was a little too easy.

This story takes place after every event is over. If you have the walk through then you'll understand the story a little better.
