Chief Torbysnief stood in Modra's temple, that once bore the sacred orb, the Zoaxis. He pondered through old measly legends about the orb. He then decided to leave, he was quite fatigued from the days tiresome agendas. As he walked out of the teepee, something stopped him, some sort of energy barrier.
"Who is it, who's there!?" He panicked. He then spotted the Elias flying down from on high on their steeds. They wished to speak with the wise leader. They had left Tokyo, because they could sense that the Chief had hid something from their intuitive gaze. Something that was of great importance.
"So your highness, it appears as though you have something you haven't told us." Moll muttered sarcastically.
Torbysnief stared at the priestesses with astonishment, but then remembered that they had mystic powers, and could read his emotions and thoughts.
"Will you tell us, we do not like tapping into the minds of people for information." Lora warned as she wiggled her finger.
"Well…um…there is something I haven't told you about the Zoaxis, it has a missing piece, with this piece, it has the power to bring back the life of one who perished in the hands of this Cyrstle Ghidorah." Torbysnief muttered quickly. Belvera's face became furious after the leader's words.
"You are a fool, you shouldn't have hid this from us!" Hollered Belvera as her steed moved closer to the nervous old man.
"Calm down Belvera," Moll muttered, "we know more about you then you think, you are not an ordinary person."
Torbysnief's head sunk, and he bit his lips nervously. He knew that Moll was aware of his true identity.
"You are one-hundred and twenty-seven years old, and you have the body of a sixty year old, tell me, how is that so?" Moll inquired suspiciously. Torbysnief cleared his throat and decided to tell them what exactly had happened, however he still was reluctant to do so.
"Um….when I was first made Chief of Batan Island, there was an accident, and I was injured, and I made people take pity on me until they trusted me fully." Moll, Lora, and Belvera listened to him intently.
"After that, I practiced dark magic behind my people's backs, and I cast a spell on myself, which was to make me the leader here for an extra hundred years, but Modra found out, and hasn't been fond of me ever since." Torbysnief explained somberly.
"You practiced dark magic!" Lora yelled with both surprise and anger in her voice. Moll smiled sarcastically and shook her head negatively.
"You desired power, and I guess you got it, but we need to know where the second part of the Zoaxis is." Moll demanded.
"If I remember correctly, thousands of years ago, Mothra and the Cosmos civilization kept that last part, because if something evil ever possessed it, the evil would be able to wield terrible powers with it." Explained Torbysnief as he sighed in relief.
"You mean, it is on Infant Island?" Belvera muttered in astonishment. The Chief then nodded in response. Moll turned to Lora, she had a logical plan to put to the test.
"Lora, you must not come with me, Belvera needs you, go with her and return to Tokyo, I'll go to Infant Island and find the second piece of the Zoaxis." Moll requested.
"But, the second part will only bring one person back to life, and besides, no one has died at the hands of Cyrstle Ghidorah yet." Reminded Lora. Again Moll smiled and turned to gaze at Torbysnief.
"Open your mind Lora, he's still hiding information from us, the piece will restore a bit of Modra's energy as well." Moll explained intuitively. As soon as Moll finished, all three fairies glimpsed at Torbysnief distrustfully.
The wise fairy turned and smiled at her sisters, then ordered her steed, Fairy, to depart for Infant Island.
Just moments after Moll's departure, a great insectile figure flew past the waning moon. The deity Modra had risen from her mountain retirement once again to protect the world.
Lora and Belvera watched the great insect disappear on the northern horizon. Eventually, they turned their attention back toward Torbysnief.
"We'll be watching you." Belvera whispered under her breath as Lora jumped up from a stone platform and took her place on Garugaru directly behind her sister. Belvera gave a little smirk of sarcasm, then took of and diminished into the clear starry sky.
Torbysnief clenched his fists then exited Modra's shrine. As he stepped outside, he inhaled the moist night breeze uneasily and walked into another teepee adjacent to Modra's temple.
"Who was it?" A low voice questioned in the darkness that seemed to swallow the room.
"It was the Elias of Mothra." Torbysnief shuttered fearfully.
"You fool, you told them about the second piece of the Zoaxis orb didn't you!?" The voice shouted. Torbysnief cringed nervously and bowed his head respectively.
"They were able to read my mind, my dark powers don't block their telepathic abilities!" Torbysnief pleaded, attempting to calm the rising anger.
"No matter, Cyrstle Ghidorah will destroy them and the Humans, and we must see that Modra is destroyed as well." The voice commanded sternly.
"Yes master." Torbysnief bowed lightly then exited the dark teepee, while listening to his master chuckling evilly in the back ground.
