Me: Oh my fudge crackers…I haven't updated this in a long time…shiz…

Lloyd: Where have you been?!

Me: Shut up! I've been busy and my game stopped working!

Emil: Uh… -looks at us fighting- Lightwithinthedark does NOT own Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World…just her ocs and some artes. –backs away as Tomatoes start flying at Lloyd-

Me & Lloyd: -dust cloud appears around us-

Marta: -swooning over Emil- Story starts!

Chapter 9:

There was an awkward around us as I shifted from foot to foot. The monster sleeping in front of us would not budge. Everyone agreed to go to Triet to get the monsters food to wake it up. As we were leaving I glanced behind me to look at it. Something wasn't right. I felt something weird was in there.

"Light let's go! The fast we get there the faster we can get back!" Emil called to me.

I shook my head and ran to catch up with them. It took a day or so to reach Triet from the runs. I shivered.

"W-why does it have to be s-so cold in the desert?!" I hissed shivering.

Emil gave me a sympathetic look and went over to a vender. He came back and placed a coat on my back. I hugged it to myself trying to get warm again. I gave him a thankful smile and he nodded. Marta glared at while his back was turned.

"The ice is frozen over…we'll have to cut holes into the ice…," Tenebrae stated before transforming into a fishing pole.

I placed a hand over my mouth before giggling. I heard Tenebrae huff.

"Whoa I didn't know you could transform!" I explained after I got over my giggle fit.

I heard him sigh. After we were all set to fish Emil tossed the line in and a few seconds later he had gotten a bite.

"Three."

"Two."

"One!"

Everyone helped to get it except for me. Raine had told me to stay put. My eyes closed half way in sadness. No one seemed to notice me anymore so I decided to take a walk back while they were busy fighting. Like I had thought no one noticed me leave.

"Why do I feel so useless…," I murmured to myself.

It took a little over a day to reach the ruins again. When I got inside I stared at the monster bored out of my mind. Well until there was a sharp pain in my chest and it felt like someone was calling to me. The monster shifted just enough to create an opening big enough for me to fit through. On the other side of the monster I looked around. Snow covered almost everything. The whole place was booby trapped! I had to dodge monsters trying to get through. I collapsed with a sigh. I was at the end, but nothing was here. I looked around trying to find anything that would show me were whatever was calling me was. The back wall gave a shake and opened. I blinked and peered inside.

"What in the world?" I murmured.

The force was pulling me inside. I looked around nervously. I couldn't see any monsters anywhere. I stopped in front on altar similar to the one in the mana tower. Seeing a core floating in the center I walked forward and reached for it. I heard footsteps behind me and turned, looking through a few strands of my hair holding the core gently between my hands.

"Light!" Emil shouted running down to me.

Marta and everyone joined me and Emil. Marta reached for the core.

"Here! Give that to me so I can awaken Ignis!" She demanded.

I blinked and held it away from her. I don't know why but it felt like I had to hold it. It was like my lifeline and if it was taken away I would fade away. Tenebrae seemed to notice my slightly panicked look.

"Light, Lady Marta will only have it for a few seconds…Lady Marta awaken Ignis and quickly give him back to her. Her mana is beginning to run out and we need to hurry to awaken Ratatosk for I fear she doesn't have long…," he explained.

Marta blinked in shock and looked at me. I pouted as I handed the core to her. The second it was out of my hands the world spun and Emil had to catch my falling form. That didn't help much because my body was going transparent. My eye lids grew heavy and Marta quickly placed the newly awakened Ignis in my hands sending a warm jolt through my head. I shot up onto my feet with a yelp. Emil's eyes widened.

"L-Light...You're glowing!" What he said was indeed true; my body was covered in fiery red sparkles.

Me: please review and thank you for taking your time to read this!
