Chapter 34: Teardrop; the light that break into the darkness

In the dark unable to see…

"It is done…" Siegfried voice whispered. The other three slowly nodded toward they're lord. "Is this really alright? To have them get it sire?" Lee halt asked. "Yes, everything is going as I planned it. There is no reason for worry." Siegfried said with a grin across his face.

I stood tall and dared to dream…

"Maybe so…but will they really willingly hand over the Teardrop, just to save the little Princess?" Malik asked. "They will…" Siegfried spoke up. "It will happen…it is meant to happen." Siegfried said nodding to him self. "…then we really do bring the little princess for the trade?" Melody asked. "Of course not, I need her power…" Siegfried said eyeing the young girl. "…then we need something to look like her." Melody quickly said.

To find the answer just one answer…

"A self image of her then will do." Malik spoke up. "Yes, that would work as long as the fault Princess isn't touched. If…she is then…they will see it isn't her." Lee halt said nodding to him self. "Do it then, the Teardrop is needed. I don't care what happens to those humans who wear the mediums of the guardians. Just return here with the Teardrop." Siegfried quickly said. "Sire!" All three of them said. Malik took out a machine and pointed it toward the ground. He pushed a button as an image of the little princess appeared laying on the ground.

And the truth will lead us as one…

"We are off sire…" Lee halt spoke up for the three of them. "Good, I look forward to see the Teardrop in hand when you return." Siegfried said as the three disappeared from the room.

"Everything is about in place. And nothing can stop it now…Nothing."

-----

Lately I have been seeing things. Day dreams? No…they aren't day dreams more like memories but…

We will ride through the eye of the storm…

I see that little girl. No…I see little Sara in these memories. Did I somehow know her when she and my self were little?

Holding on to hearts beating strong…

I don't know. But in this memory. What I see is…horror. I see…something that makes me believe I am seeing a nightmare.

Keeping our eyes on a new horizon…

Because…what I saw just couldn't be real. It just couldn't be real!

The tides of war will turn with our soul…

The place…it looked like Yggdrasil. No…it didn't look like Yggdrasil. This place was Yggdrasil!

"Give Back!" I heard young Sara voice yells. But…I couldn't hear the name she was yelling too the two men before her. Wait…we're they drifters?

"That isn't something I can do. He's dead! Got that little lady? You're fried is dead for being stupid and protecting his stupid father!" One of the drifters said to young Sara. D-dead? They had killed…someone? "He's dead? Dead?" young Sara asked. He? So…a young boy had been killed? I wondered.

"And if you're not careful young lady you will end up the same way." The drifter added in. Did he just?! "No! Please leave her out of this!" A voice quickly yelled. "You keep quiet! Or something will happen to this young girl!" The drifter quickly yelled toward a man's voice. That voice…I knew it from somewhere, I thought.

Wait…could that voice had been Werner's?! I wondered. Soon I could see it had been Werner's voice. But…he looked so young. This really was ten years ago…but why was I seeing it? Had I been there? I didn't know. How could I know?

"You killed him…didn't you?" young Sara asked. "So what if I did." The drifter quickly answered her. How could anyone answer that way toward a child? "You…you killed him…! You killed him!!" young Sara yelled as a strong energy surrounded her.

"W-…what?" I asked as I step back a bit. What was that red light surrounding her?! I wondered as I quickly closed my eyes.

But when I opened my eyes again I wasn't in Yggdrasil any longer. "…what?" I asked out loud. "It isn't time for you to be seeing that." A voice spoke up to me. I quickly glared around the area. I didn't see anyone there with me at first.

But soon I saw someone appear before me; the guardian of Desire. "Luceid…?" I asked him. "…you're starting to awaken I see." Luceid quickly said. "…awaken?" I asked. "Yes, I guess I should say. Finally starting to awaken." Luceid said as he shook his head a bit.

"Finally?" I asked feeling puzzled. "Yes, finally with how much you we're around the Princess I thought you would awaken sooner." Luceid said eyeing me. "Princess?" I asked again. "…Come on. There no way you could have forgotten this much." Luceid said with a sigh. "…Who the hell are you talking about? Who the hell is this Princess you speak of?" I asked as I heard the guardian of desire let out a big sigh.

"You did forget everything. It's no wonder. This is a big problem…you can't remember you're true job…no the reason you were born. Then they're nothing I can do." Luceid was at a lost. How could he get him ready for the up and coming battle if he knew nothing?

"…The reason I was born? What the hell are you going on about?! Why don't you start making some sense!" I yelled toward him as I felt something. I…I started to feel really warm. Was I sick? "…What…going on?" I asked as I stepped back a bit. "Good…your body remembers even if your mind does not. You need to remember. Remember her voice when she called out to you back then. Remember the warm from her touch. You need to remember it all!" Luceid told me.

This heat…I felt inside my body. I felt like I was boiling inside a pot of water. I-I couldn't stand it much longer!

"…wake up?" A young girl's voice asked. "What…?" I asked out loud. "When will you wake up?" The young girl's voice asked again. I had heard…that question before haven't I? I wonder. Yes…I had but for some reason…I couldn't remember where I had.

I recall the days of are young…

"Remember everything…is the only way to remember why you were born…" Luceid voice called out to me. But I couldn't see him anyway. "But…how the hell do I remember?" I asked out loud. But no answer came. I was alone in this place. Where ever this place truly was. I had never seen this place before. Well that I could remember that was.

Everything was white and nothingness no matter where I looked. Nothing at all was here. "This place is…" I whispered to my self. "Everything gone." A young girl's voice spoke up to me. I quickly looked down to my right side.

All around with safety and Peace…

I saw her standing there! That little girl who I had met before; in my nightmares no…my dreams. "…Sara right?" I asked her. She slowly turned to look at me. "Well it's about time you remembered my name!" She quickly yelled waving her hands at her sides. Yep…that was sure the person I knew. The way she acted. This was her…even if it was her younger self.

I couldn't help but smile as I watched her. "Where…is this place?" I asked her. "…wow, what happened to your memory? How could you not know this room?" She asked as she gave me a weird look. I watched as a table appeared in the room. Two men appeared as well wearing white coats.

I slowly stepped back a bit. This place…I-I had been here before! And I had been in this room for a long time. "Ugh…" My head started to pouch like crazy. "I met you in this room…remember?" Young Sara asked. "…yeah. That's right…this place is from my memory. It's a room in…Yggdrasil." I whispered quietly. "Right!" Young Sara cried.

How could I know then, there'd be a time when…

"…back then…I was alone as well…until…" I cut my self off in pain. It-It was too painful to remember anymore. "I would come talk to you everyday…Everyday I would wonder when…" Young Sara quickly cut her self off.

It was quiet again. "Sara?" I asked looking toward her but she was gone. Nothing was in the room again. But I knew one thing for sure. I had met her in Yggdrasil back then. Did-Did that mean I was close to her age? Maybe…but I didn't know for sure.

All would fall at the foot of a beast…

"It looks like you have recalled something…" Luceid voice spoke up. "L-Luceid?" I asked as I looked around. "That is good for now. Doing too much remembering…then you will faint. Little by little…and in time it will all come back to you…" Luceid appeared before me. "It appears…your power has awakened with that little as well…" Luceid said eyeing me. "My power…what are you talking…" I started to ask as my right arm started to feel like it was burning.

"T-This feeling…" I whispered to my self as I eyed my Arm. "You have felt this before…yes?" Luceid asked. "…How the hell could you know that?" I asked glaring toward the guardian of Desire. "When it is ones job to know. One has too." Luceid answered me. "…that doesn't answer my question." I was getting pissed. Why couldn't he just answer my damn question?! "Hmm…I Guess it doesn't. But…not every question has answer to it. You should remember this." Luceid told me. "…you're not going to answer my question are you?" I asked him. He kept silent as he stared toward me. "That's what I thought." I growled to my self.

"But…it's time for you to head back now…" Luceid said changing the subject. "Head back? Where?" I asked looking lost toward him. He quickly let out a sigh. "…you really don't know. Do you? It's time for you to wake up!" Luceid yelled as my eyes quickly grew heavy and before I knew it I fell asleep.

-----

Before long I thought I heard someone. "…et!" A voice yelled toward me. I knew this voice as well. "…Jet!" I heard the voice yell to me again. Who the hell…was calling out my name now? I wondered as I slowly opened my eyes. As soon as I opened my eyes I saw bright sun-light. I was…outside? I wondered.

But…last thing I knew I was still…in that, I thought. "You're awake I see…" I heard Clive's voice say to me. I quickly looked to my right to see him sitting beside me. "C-Clive?" I asked. "Good, you really are back. I was beginning to worry. You been out of it sense we left the Dissection Facility. Then you fainted shortly after we got outside." Clive told me.

"I…fainted?" I asked. "Yes, indeed you did." Clive said nodding toward me. I didn't even remember leaving the factor. Did-Did that mean that whole time…? Talking to her and Luceid happened all inside my mind? I wondered. Yes, that had to be it. That was the only answer I could come up with. I slowly sat up. I felt the strong wind as I sat up. "We're on…?" I started to ask.

"Lombardia…We are still a bit away from Jolly Roger." Clive told me. "I see…" I whispered. My head was still bugging me. That pain I didn't just feel there. I felt it here as well. "Jet…are you alright?" Clive asked. "I'm fine…just got a damn headache." I growled. "I see…" Clive had a worried look on his face. But I ignored the look. I had no reason to talk about what happened. It wasn't anyone's problem aside from my own.

I was glad…soon Lombardia landed beside Jolly Roger. "Okay we are close by now. Ruins of memory are just a bit north-west of here. We need to search everywhere. We could have missed something last time, we came there…!" Virginia told us. Ruins of memory…It had been a long time cent we had been there. But really how long had it truly been? Four or Five months? I had changed a bit cent then. I guess…in a good way. People can…change as they say.

Soon we headed are way north-west toward the ruins of memory. And when we found the ruin we quickly headed inside.

The ruins of memory…a house of information; maybe that was how it got its name? Who cares? I only care about one damn thing right then. Finding that damn Gem called the Teardrop; nothing…matters aside from finding that Damn Gem.

We just headed North in the first two rooms. In the main room we headed up some stairs to the northeast and headed inside a door there. Then we headed into a door a bit west of us. In this room we follow a red path south and stopped as we followed a door to are left and entered it.

But I couldn't help but worry…if they would really hand her back over just like that. I had a feeling this whole thing could just be a trap. "…You don't trust the trade as well…do you?" Clive asked me. "Trust? How could anyone trust a word of a demon?" I asked. "Yes, that's true. I have a feeling as well…they are just using us to get them the Teardrop." Clive told me. "…Why? They can't get that damn Gem on they're own?" I asked him.

"Yes…for some reason. They can't touch it. Maybe…they're a barrier or something protecting it from the likes of them." Clive sounded unsure. And he was guessing. "You're guessing. But…I guess…with all the energy that gem has…would have to be guarded in some way…" I whispered quiet. "…At the trade…we should watch them closely. Who knows what they are really planning." Gallows spoke up. "Yes…I don't trust them. But if this is the only way to get her back so be it." Virginia quickly said. "Even if it means handing over…a powerful energy gem to the likes of them?" Gallows asked. "Yes…" Virginia whispered.

Hearing Virginia answer so quickly…it made me remember Luceid's words. What would you choose to save? The world or the Shaman? Save one? Or the whole world?

One couldn't be saved no matter how you looked at it. But…why did it have to be that way? And why…did I have to be the one to make the choice?

We continue on are way down another red path in this room and headed into a door right in front of us. In this room we headed north up the red path and kept going northeast and entered a door there. We headed a bit north into a door close by. Soon we found are selves at a dead end. Clive quickly looked around. He saw a thing over head. "I think I can pull us up with my Grappling hook." He told us. Clive then did so and we headed into a door a bit north of us.

In this room we had to turn all the lamps on for the door ahead of us to open. Then soon the door opened and we headed inside. We headed across a path in this room and headed into a door ahead of us.

We found are selves in a room with many paintings in this room. "…this is something." Clive said as he looked around the room. "Paintings in a place like this?" Virginia asked. "This place is just full of surprises…" Gallows said nodding to him self. There was a huge painting in the middle of the room. "It looks like fire…" I whispered to my self. Virginia nodded as she touched the painting. She touched it with her Tinder crest. The painting quickly disappeared and a door appeared before us.

We nodded to each other and headed inside. We headed north to the end of the room where we found a door with a Lion on it. Virginia stared at the door as she took out the paper book. She opened it as a card key fell out. Clive picked it up. "It's…a card key." Clive whispered. "I don't remember putting that in the book…" Virginia said. I sighed to my self as I shook my head.

"No dummy! It's to open the door!" I yelled as I took the card key form Clive and put it inside the door. The door opened and we headed inside. We found a beautiful shining Gem floating in the middle of the room. This…this was the Teardrop!

"I have heard that in ancient times, the desert seas used to be filled with blue, sparkling water…" Clive told us as we stared toward the Gem. "Just like the surrounding area of Yggdrasil?" Virginia asked. "Yes…but probably of a much larger scale…" Clive whispered to her. "An ocean spreading far beyond the horizon, huh…wow…I can't imagine that…it must've been beautiful, kinda like the gentle blue of the Teardrop—almost as if caressing you." Virginia said as she started toward the Gem.

"But the fact of the matter is, they're tryin' to destroy Filgaia with this thing." Gallows spoke up. I didn't say a word…as I started at the Gem. "That's right…but I'm not gonna let that happen! No way!" Virginia quickly said. But handing it over was the only way to save her…for now. It couldn't be helped.

We then got the Teardrop. With that we left the room and started are way back; but as we got back to the main room. Lee halt and the others two appeared. We hurried up to them. "Now…hand over the Teardrop…" Lee halt said eyeing us.

"You bring us Sara first!" Virginia yelled to him. Sara then appeared a bit before us. She looked alright from what I could tell. Even if she wasn't facing us. "She'll be all right. She'll regain consciousness soon." Melody told us. "Now you must fulfill your end of the bargain hand over the Teardrop." Malik said.

"Stay sharp…who knows what they're up too…" I whispered to Virginia as I glared toward the Demons. "Got it, thanks…" Virginia whispered back to me. Virginia slowly headed half way over to them and pulled out the Teardrop. They quickly took it. Then Virginia quickly turned around to check on Sara. But as she touched her she quickly disappeared.

"Huh!?" Virginia asked. It had been a trap! They never planned to hand her back over. Virginia quickly turned toward the demons. "The Maxwell girl is more foolish then I thought…you have willingly handed over the future of this planet." Lee halt said grinning toward us. Then the room quickly started to shake as the Teardrop fell from Lee halt's hands. We saw Maya and her team standing there. Maya nodded to Alfred. "Sorry it took us so long! But it looks like we're here just in time!" Alfred yelled to us.

"You wily, little fox…!" Lee halt yelled looking to Alfred. "Look who's talking!" Alfred yelled back to him. They soon came toward us. "You're not getting away with the Teardrop!" Virginia yelled to them. "Why? Just because we didn't hand over that stupid girl?" Melody asked. "…Stupid?! Just gave her back damnit!" I quickly yelled toward melody. "Hmm…you really are him." Lee halt whispered to him self. We took out Melody first with just shooting her. Then Malik could only be hurt by spells. And finally we took out Lee halt.

Virginia and Lee halt glared toward each other as they looked at the Teardrop. They both ran for it as the huge stone in the room broke. We all stood back a bit. "What was that!?" Clive asked. We all looked in shock as the golem stood there holding the Teardrop. "As…gard…!?" Virginia asked. "That's impossible! We kicked that thing's behind to the outer limits of space-time with the help of Dan Darium!" Gallows cried.

This was bad…really bad. We had trouble dealing with Siegfried and Lee halt and the other two. And now Asgard had to return! We're over are head now.

"Face the music! It's here, ain't it!? Standing right in front of us!" I yelled looking over to Gallows. "I shall act as a shield for my master and carry out his command through hell and high water! Master, I have returned." Asgard said facing Lee halt. "Returned..!? Then, that means…" Gallows said. "To fulfill my master's command…and to exchange fire with you again. By the way, master…did something happen to you?" Asgard asked him. "I shall explain later! There is much I want to ask you, too!" Lee halt quickly said. "Let us be on our way, then…" Asgard said. "Wreak some havoc…" Lee halt told him. "As you wish." Asgard then turned toward us.

"Activating barrier at full power!" Asgard yelled holding his arms into the air. Energy quickly formed and the energy let out a explode. When Virginia opened her eyes she found Werner in front of her. "Daddy…?" Virginia asked. "If they're using a barrier, I'll counter it with mine…" Werner whispered to her. Virginia tried to move. "Don't move just yet. They probably think we're buried alive under the rubble…we have to take full advantage of this situation!" Werner told her. "Daddy…" Virginia whispered to her father. "I was so happy to see you again, daddy. I really was…I had completely given up on you until I saw you…I was so shocked and bewildered…that's why I said all those hurtful and hateful things to you…I wanted to apologize right there and then, but I couldn't conjure up the courage to put it into words…I'm sorry, Daddy…" Virginia whispered to Werner.

"You're not the only one who can't express their feelings in words…I, too, have had something I wanted to say locked away inside my heart…I…" Werner started to say but Virginia cut him off. "You don't have to tell me now…I know you'll tell me, someday…" Virginia whispered. Werner slowly nodded to him self. "I'll be waiting…" Virginia whispered. "Waiting to hear what you have to say…but don't leave me again, daddy Please…" Virginia softy cried.

When Virginia came too she saw the others around her by the enter of the ruins of memory. She slowly sat up. "We were all this close to getting buried alive." I growled to my self. "Daddy must have saved us…I Saw my father in my dream…" Virginia told us. Old man? I wondered. "Hey! What happened to the Teardrop!?" Virginia asked.

"Unfortunately, it's in enemy's hands. But don't worry. I mixed in special Metallice flakes in that bomb used to startle them." Alfred told us. "Metallic flakes? How's that gonna help us?" I asked. "These special flakes that I developed transmit a signal that pinpoints the exact location of their whereabouts. They're tiny silver particle that attach firmly to the target's skin or clothes. It's even designed to withstand one or two washes in laundry." Alfred told us. "You're smarter then you look." I said. We could find them now. We would know where they're base was!

"And this is the radar that picks up the signal. It took me a while to get all this ready that's why we were late. See…? This flashing dot here indicates their current location and…oh, no!" Alfred cried looking his radar over. "What's wrong!?" Virginia asked. "I've lost sight of the target and its current location…point X: 14470 Y: 17570… the signal seems to have gotten jammed West of Laxisland." Alfred cried as he looked toward the floor. Maya patted Alfred shoulder. "It's better then nothing to go on." Maya quickly said. "All is not lost. We still have the last Coordinates. X: 14470, Y: 17570 was it? We can very well assume something is there at the jamming point." Clive spoke up. "Yeah, like even their hideout." Gallows added in. "No sense crying over spilt milk. Let's split up and head out there! If that really is their hide out then Sara's probably…" Virginia started to say.

We nodded to each other. We knew where to head next. West of Laxisland huh? I wondered as we quickly left the ruins of memory. We didn't have time to lose. And we hurry into Lombardia and started to fly north toward Laxisland. Soon after we got close to Laxisland we headed where the last location of where Lee halt had been. Close to the mountain. We found a mining enter called Dim root path and we quickly headed inside.

The place looked like an old factor. Very old by…how run down it was. We headed right ahead of us to a sealed door. "We can't go anymore…" Gallows said looking the door over. "Why not?" Virginia asked. "A very strong demonic power…is holding the door closed. The only way to break it…would be…" Gallows cut him self off. "…All the guardians' lords…Mediums…" I whispered to my self. "Yes…and we are still missing two. Justine and Zephyr…" Gallows told us. "Is that really the only way…to break in there?" I asked. "…We know you're worried about her. But it can't be helped. We can't save her without all the mediums…" Clive spoke up.

I felt my face quickly heat up. "I'm-I'm not worried about her!" I quickly yelled; even if I was lying. "If only there was an easy way to find them…" Virginia whispered. "Well…" Alfred started to say. "What?" Virginia asked. "Well there is a rumor…you can win a special item called the Item scope at Gunner's heaven. It's said it can find any item." Alfred told us. "And what do you have to do to get it?" I quickly asked. "You just have to win the Novice Division…if this rumor is true that is…" Alfred finished saying.

"Well?" Clive asked Virginia. "Yeah, that item truly could help us big time. Plus we don't have much more to go on now…let's head to Gunner's heaven." Virginia said. With that we left Dim root path and got back into Lombardia. And headed a bit south-west where we found Gunner's heaven and made are way inside.

Maya and her team headed back to Laxisland to wait for us. As we headed up to the counter in front of us; a man named Ortega spoke up to us. "How may I help you sir?" Ortega asked us. "We would like to enter the Novice League." Clive spoke up for us. "Alright, that will be 2,000 Gella." Ortega told us. Clive handed over the Gella. "You have to defeat all opponents within 25 turns to advances to the Journeyman Division. If you pull it off, you get prizes for your conquests plus a special bonus. For the Novice Division, you'll get the rare item Item Scope and Five thousand Gella, Are you up for the challenge? Think you can take it?" Ortega asked us. We nodded toward each other. "Yes." Clive said.

We then made are way into the Arena. "Prepare yourselves for the Novice Division! Cut your way though five battles in 25 turns or less for fantastic prizes! Best of luck, challengers! Ready…Fight!" Coney yelled as monsters appeared before us.

First Gangas' appeared. We took them out with only some quick shots. "Bravo! Bravo! Lord Begucci is quite pleased! Surely their next bout will be a breeze. Of course they'll continue, won't they?" Coney asked. "Yes…" I quickly said. As some new monsters appeared before us. A wendigo appeared. We took him out with only some shots as well. "Lord Begucci seems pleased by their captivating performance. Of course, I liked it, too. Since they've come this far they 're accept another challenge now, won't they?" Coney asked.

"Yes." I quickly said as six shambling mound appeared before us. Virginia summoned Stare Roe and took four of them out. And we finished the others with shots. "Somebody put the brakes on these fighters' folks! They've stream rolled through every opponent so far. Look at them now. Somehow they're able to hide their glee at their meteroicrise to glory! I think it goes without saying that they belong in the ring, doesn't it?" Coney asked.

We nodded to each other we would keep going. Next a Balor appeared before us. I quickly did a Gatling on it to kill it. "Incredible! We're all heard of unlimited potential inside us all. Well, here's proof! These courageous gladiators have leaped across every hurdle with extraordinary grace! In spite of the great challenge before them, they maintain a cool, nonchalant façade! Now, the moment you've all been waiting for! The final match, a one-way ride…will it go to heaven…or to hell?" Coney asked.

And finally we entered the last battle. An Amordrake appeared before us. Clive let out two Gatlings and the monster quickly fell. "Fantastic! The challengers break past all five skirmishes under the turn limit! I'm so glad to see them succeed, and I'm sure Lord Begucci is too! Now, we award them for their impressive victory!" Coney yelled. Got the Item Scope! With that we left gunner's heaven. But the question was…where to start searching?

"Even with this tool…we have no idea where to start…" I spoke up. "Hmm…let's head to Humphrey's peak maybe I can find some weird locations in one of my books." Clive told us. With that we headed to Humphrey's peak. Well…it couldn't hurt to look for odd locations in books…I guess.

Soon we landed outside of Humphrey's peak and made are way inside of town. We headed toward Clive's house as Datson called out to us. "Hey Clive!" He yelled to us. "Why, hello you're self Datson." Clive said greeting him back. "I thought it was you. You're easy to spot always." Datson said with a laugh. "Hehe…I guess I am. Oh, do you know of any location that's a bit odd?" Clive asked him. "Odd? No but…Did you know that the Gemstone cave to the Northwest has another entrance?" Datson asked. Clive slowly shook his head no. "It connects to an island that borders the inland and open Seas. You might even find ancient artifacts there." Datson told us.

"Yes indeed I may…thank you for the information Datson." Clive said. "Anytime." Datson said before walking away. "What do you think leader?" Clive asked her. "I think we should go check it out." Virginia quickly said. "Yeah…and hope we find something there." I said. We nodded to each other then left Humphrey's peak. We took Lombardia North to the Gemstone Cave then headed inside.

We headed straight down the path in front of us and entered a door at the bottom. In this room we followed the path around the room and entered a door ahead of us. In this room we followed the path a bit north and into a door. Again we followed the path up and into a door a bit west. We followed this path straight ahead of are selves and entered a door before us. We entered another door a bit west of us.

We followed the path up in this room and entered a door at the top. In this room we found a cracked wall. Clive when ahead and placed a bomb beside it. In this new room we followed the path to the northwest and entered the door there. When we entered this room we saw sunlight ahead of us.

This had to be the other way into the cave and comes out on that island that Datson spoke about. We made are way outside. Soon as we stepped outside we saw an item sitting on the north-west part of the island. I when to pick it up; got the Lion Idol! "Gallows…is this?" I asked. He looked it over for a second. "Yeah, no question about it, I can't sense much of its energy. But they're no question about it. It's one of the guardian lords Idol's." Gallows said nodding to him self.

"Then we know…where to head to next…" I whispered eyeing the statue. "Yeah, Fallen Sanctuary." Virginia said with that we headed back to Lombardia and fly back to fallen Sanctuary to Freed this Guardian lord.

We hurried inside after landing there. "Let's head upstairs." Clive said as soon as we entered. We made are way upstairs then I put on my sneakers and hopped up to the painting north-east from the stairs and held out the Lion Idol in front of us. We nodded to each other as we closed are eyes. A Lion like monster quickly appeared before us. His stalwart hand pulled us of all doubt. It's…presence was powerful. His energy was unbelievable. This power was…the power of Courage! He beckoned to battle us.

"Welcome bearers of the Ark scepters…I have been waiting for you. If you wish for my powers show me your courage! Show I….Justine!Your courage to fight against all odds!" Justine yelled to us.

It didn't take very long to take him down. One or two Gatlings did it. "Well done…bearers of the Ark scepters. My power is now yours…take my power and us it well." Justine said as he disappeared. He left behind his Medium the Brave Seal. Got the Brave seal! Clive took this medium.

Moon Spark and Flash hit let out a light as the changed to Gold. "That's three…" Virginia whispered. "One Guardian lord left…Zephyr the Guardian of Hope." Gallows told us. "Hope…" I whispered to my self.

Hope was one thing we truly need in this battle fighting the demons. Without…could we really win? One more, I thought. One more Guardian Lord then We can break that Seal. And get in there to save you…
