Chapter 9: To Shake the Earth
Janas 15th 3923
Today we left Heimdall to travel to the Meltokio Region to make the pact with Gnome the Summon Spirit of Earth. I am so tired lately because my new status as an angel has made it so I no longer sleep. It is not so much a physical tiredness as a mental tiredness, I don't dream anymore. I hate this, I never wanted it but if we take these Cruxis Crystals off without expert assistance we will turn into horrible monsters and die. It is not fair that this had to happen to us . Kratos says that his father is hiring scientists to study our Cruxis Crystals once we reach Meltokio. They will be sworn to an oath of secrecy, and we have been permission to kill them if they betray us. Hopefully they will find a way to either remove these things or find a way for us to make the angel transformation easier on all of us. We will get to find out how things are going when we stop in Altamira to pick up Remiel. We will need him to act as a healer for the party. Sis is sick, she has this weird green rash all over her arms, and she can't eat or sleep at all. She is also very spacy almost like she is not there at all. I think that this is really a bad thing. Kratos says that the people his father has working on the problem in Meltokio have come up with a cure but we will need to bring Mana Leaf Fragments, and Mana fragments from the Kharlan Tree. They will then blend these items with zircon to create what they call a Rune Crest. This will cure Sis's illness, and will prevent all of us from catching this disorder. Apparently the Cruxis Crystals are like exspheres in that they act as parasites and if they are not controlled properly they will turn our bodies into giant Cruxis Crystals . Oh Yay! ( Kratos 7923 " Mithos even at age 8 had a fully developed sense of elven sarcasm.") I hope that we reach Meltokio before Sis gets to sick.

Boy is having wings ever handy. We flew right to Meltokio, and only stopped overnight in Sybak. I got to see the University. Sis says that if we manage to stop the war and change the level of discrimination against half elves that I am more than smart enough to get into school there when I am eighteen. I am not to worried about that I am only eight after all. Well they fixed Sis's key crest and turned it into a Rune Crest today. The scientist who healed my sister is named Viggo Boltzmann . He cured her by combining the items we brought with the Unicorn Horn, Zircon and the resurrection spell. At least I don't have to worry so much about Sis anymore. Getting that Unicorn horn was a pain in the ass to get. It required a virgin, and guess who got to go after the stupid thing. I knew Yuan was trying to make a baby with Sis but this is ridiculous. And of course neither Kratos, Remiel, or Spiritua qualified either. Thank goodness for Undine, or I would have gotten really really wet.
Kratos Mom is a really nice lady. I grew out of all my clothes again. Darn this growth spurt. She altered all my clothes and even had a new pair of boots made for me. They fit so much better than the ones that you just buy in the store.

We are at the Temple of Earth, and we are preparing to fight gnome. Kratos says that Gnome has a reputation as a bit of a trickster, and we have to be careful around him. He also does not like any of that funny formal garbage that Summoners normally use. So I get to talk normally for a change . Wahu!
3:00 p.m.
We did it we beat Gnome. First I hit him with Wind Blast. Bam, and then I used Wind Blade. Boom! And then I hit him with Tornado. Bash! Kratos whacked him hard with Wind Spear, and than Yuan broke out his new Angel Feathers spell. Martel and Remiel were in the back working healing spells, and Spiritua was fighting using Dragon Flight on him over and over again. Finally we defeated him. Gnome told us that we play dirty that his last Summoner fought all by himself. I think he is a bit of a liar but, funny. I told him that I have been working on finding out what all of the Summon Spirits do for hobbies since the angel transformation will make me as long lived as they are, and I need hobbies. Not to mention we will be hanging out with each other for a very long time, either until I die or transfer the pact to someone else. Gnome grinned and told me that his favorite hobby was pranking people. Apparently one time he told the sprites that it would be a good idea to go on a trip with Undine out to sea to visit the Doldrums (place in the ocean where there is no wind.) He said that they nearly killed him over that prank. He will get along great with Yuan Well tomorrow we are headed home again so that I can finish my first year of apprenticeship with the Story Teller. We can't travel to Flanoir to make a pact with Celsius until summer since the sea is all but impassable until Mayan.
