"Life as normal... Should be easy enough." -Yumi
Ruine lead them out of the woods and back to where Kadic was. Everyone went on with their lives like nothing had happened. Of course, nothing that anyone else knew.
A week later, Ruine came and got them, leading them back to the ruins.
"Welcome back." Aelita smiles, standing in front of the control panel.
"Did something happen?" Ulrich asks, arms folded in front of his chest.
"No sign of XANA yet, however, this is visit is not for that. Ruine has something she'd like to give each of you." Aelita replies.
Ruine scampers off, then comes back, carrying an old stone box. Well kept and decorated with gem stones, gold and silver too. She opens it up and takes something out of it, handing to Jeremie. Repeating till everyone had one, she tucked Kiwi's into his collar. The item was a gem stone... unlike any other.
Ruine calms herself and chants a spell, causing the gems to light up and change. Each one different for each of the warriors. Ranging from a shirt pin, to a necklace, bracelet, or something else.
"These, along with your marks, will grant you powers to fight if XANA attacks. Each one is different, taping into your subconscious desires as well as your hopes and dreams. Keep them on you at all times." Aelita explains.
