"Ugh... where are we?" Prince Sean asked wearily as he struggled to free himself from the remains of the crashed spaceship. He had survived the crash - miraculously - but what about the others? Normally, Sean wouldn't have cared much, but Lyle was his grandfather, so he did have some concern for his life. As he searched the remains, an outstretched hand burst out from a pile of metal.

"Who is it?" Sean asked himself as he pulled on the hand. He found that the hand was attached to an arm, which was attached to a torso, which was attached to Lyle. He shook his head and brushed himself down.

"Well, at least I'm OK. Nice to see that you're OK, too, Sean. Now, what about Mieu and Wren?" Lyle asked. Sean looked stern.

"Don't worry about them," he said quickly, pulling Lyle away from the wreckage, "they'll come in their own time." Lyle wrenched himself away from Sean's grasp and rummaged through the wreckage, freeing Wren in the process.

"Where's Mieu? Where is she?" Wren asked. Lyle shrugged and carried on searching the wreck.

"Lyle! Look!" Wren shouted, pointing at a red lump which fluttered in the breeze slightly. Lyle looked at it, and then he shoved away some of the twisted metal. He had freed Mieu, at last. She sighed, and Lyle, with Wren's help, pulled her out of the wrecked spaceship. Sean came waltzing over to them.

"Happy now that your little robot friends are rescued, Lyle?" Sean asked, very rudely. Lyle just replied that Mieu and Wren weren't robots - they were cyborgs.

"Where are we?" Mieu asked. She had looked around, but she still couldn't make any sense of where they all were. Even Lyle didn't have a clue, and neither did Sean. Wren took a quick glance, and then he gathered the rest of the group.

"We're on Samesina, in the Bernink Province." he said quietly. But after he had said that, Sean seemed to look slightly saddened.

"What's up, Prince Sean?" Mieu asked. Sean shook his head.

"You're a ro- cyborg, you wouldn't understand." the prince replied, slightly angered.

"I'll try to understand as best as I can." Mieu replied, running her hand through Sean's hair affectionately. The prince's cold, stony personality seemed to melt away for a brief moment.

"It's because I lost my parents in that explosion. I tried to tell them to get out, but they didn't listen..." Sean began to say, but he couldn't continue. Mieu patted his cheek.

"No, don't think of it like that. Your parents sacrificed themselves to save you. There wouldn't have been enough room in that spaceship for all of us." she said soothingly. As he heard those words, Sean snapped back into being his old self again.

"It mightn't have happened if you and your other cyborg friend hadn't come with me and Lyle! They could have come here!" Sean cried, shoving Mieu away from him.

"OK, that's enough on that matter! Now, before we left, Ayn said something about going to the Chalst Province and meeting up with Sari. He said that she knew something about the attack on Satellite." Lyle said. He began to head towards the west, where he could see rock formations in the distance. Sean, Mieu and Wren followed him to a small cave.

"If memory serves me correctly... this cave will lead us to the Chalst Province." Lyle whispered to the party as he led them through the cave's long, twisting passageway... into the Chalst Province. When everyone had climbed out of the passage, Lyle led them all to Landen, where Sari was living.

As the party went into Landen, Sean was greeted heartily by the local people.

"Welcome to Landen, Prince Sean!" one said.

"Thanks for the welcome, but I don't have time for this. I need to see Sari." Sean replied in his usual unprincely manner. He pushed through the gathering of people, with Mieu, Wren and Lyle following, until they got to Castle Landen. As soon as they had crossed the threshold, they could hear shouts and screams.

"No, you idiot! I can't just stop fighting him! Lune will just take us over!"

"Yes, my queen, but your armies are weakening. It's only a matter of time."

"You pessimist! Get out of my sight, you wretch!"

"No, I have something else to say!"

Sean had got thoroughly bored of listening to the argument, so he strode through the castle, Mieu, Wren and Lyle trailing behind, until he got to the throne room. The door was closed, but this didn't stop the prince opening it and barging in. Inside, Queen Sari was arguing with one of her subjects about the attacks on Landen.

"I've got enough on my plate as it is, you impolite little boy! Get out of here, NOW!" Sari shouted at Sean. He didn't back away, or flinch. Instead, he put his hands on his hips and glared at Sari.

"Hey, you! I'm Prince Sean, not some impolite little commoner! My father told me that you know something about the attacks on Satellite!" Sean snapped in reply. Sari dismissed her subject and Sean strode over to her. She was still who she was eighteen years ago, except that she was now wearing a red flared dress that reached her ankles, although Sean had never met her eighteen years ago (he wasn't even a cell then).

"What's this now? Ayn knew about the attacks and told you that I knew it better than him? Look, I'm pretty clueless myself, but I think Lune has something to do with it." Sari said, her tone of voice changed.

"Who is this Lune loon?" Sean asked. Sari told him that Lune was one of Laya's most trusted generals, but then he had turned evil and used his commanding skills for his own personal gain.

"Now," Sari explained, "there's been one of the largest conflicts in history between the Orakians and the Layans. Cyborgs battle Orakians, and monsters take on Layans! That was the first part. Afterwards, both the cyborgs AND the monsters start fighting the other Orakians and Layans! It's horrendous, it really is." From a corner, Darren came forward and greeted Sean.

"Also, as Sari was saying just then," Darren said, "there's only one thing that can stop all this fighting between the Orakians and the Layans, and also the conflict with the cyborgs and the monsters."

"What is that, then?" Sean asked. Darren cleared his throat.

"It's called Laya's Treasure, and it's hidden somewhere in the Bernink Province. Trouble is, it can't be found that easily. And, not only that, but Lune wants it so that he can conquer the world!" he said. He then went on to explain that the first lead to Laya's Treasure could be found in the Salvadayna Province.

"Thanks." Sean said half-heartedly, and then he went out of the throne room to explain the ordeal to Mieu, Wren and Lyle.

"Well, at least we have something to go on, even if it's not much. Let's go!" Lyle said triumphantly, leading the party out of Landen. But before they left the castle, Darren stopped them.

"Hey, Dragon Man! There's something I forgot to tell you!" Darren shouted. Lyle turned round and ran over to him, as the call was meant for him.

"What's up?" Lyle asked.

"Nothing at all, mate. It's just been a long time since I've seen you, that's all." Darren replied nervously. Lyle quickly explained what had happened to Sean and the fate of Satellite, and he hurried back to the rest of the party and ushered them towards the Salvadayna Province, from what Sean had learned from Sari.
