" really"? Erin said as marin told her about the cave.
" we"ll tell the others later." she said jumping in.
Marin followed.
It was a minute before they arrived. Erin looked around.
The ancient letters were very appealing to marin.
Erin was looking at the altar made of marble. It had engraved letters.
" ancient altar " marin said reading the letters.
" this place created 120000000 years ago was a place where the records were written" Marin continued reading on the wall.
" the legendary pure white saved thousand of people during drought,floods, and when danger approached. she had beautiful singing voice, but her power was sealed by the dark. Probably no reincarnation or anything could have same power. There was only one pure white. It is said that the heir of pure white still exists." there was newer writing probably many years after. "Pure white in order to protect everyone erased her memories, locked it and returned to her baby form. Nobody knows where but it is said for her to be located behind the sky which opens in each 100 years." marin stopped and held her mouth.
" long story, Erin said Marin notices writing before what she read.
" her parents were great the goddess and god got a beautiful child and sent her down to help the people." marin smiled sadly.
" hey theres a door here" Erin said behind the altar.
They whent in together.
-/-.
meanwhile up on the surface melan walked worringly while Pyon was practicing furiously.
Wonder what's taking them so long I'm worried.
he decided to jump into the water and find Marin.
-
In the room there was picture carved. One picture had letters.
" pure white has many powers as well as transferring or sharing powers if they mean lots" marin and Erin blushed.
they swam out. Melan met them and they swam to where Pyon was.
" I was worried"! Melan said " sorry..." marin said and looked away.
" fine as long as next time you tell me you are going" melan said gently with a sigh.
" Erin you to" " tch, fine" she said annoyed.
-
" it's marins turn to decide how we are going to train" Pyon said pointing at marin.
Marin thought - marins thoughts-
Maybe we can use our swords and see who can slice the most food in about 60 seconds two at a time and must have at least 10 fruit cut. This will also be help for when I cook. Okay,
-
After explaining to the crew they divided up in teams.
First round they would battle dolls and if they win thy go up to round two. Losers quit the game.
" sounds good enough" Pyon said " oh you have to have at least 10 fruit cut in the 10 seconds in the last round." marin said
" that's going to be hard" Erin said.
" you may use whatever cutting material you want" marin said.
The game begun.
First round all of them beat the dummies.
The second round was melan vs Pyon and Erin vs marin.
This was tough.
Pyon had cut 10 cuts in 40 second,
Now it was melans turn he swiftly let his sword draw through the fruit like waves.
11 cuts in 40 seconds.
Erin had cut 9 cuts in 40 seconds " this is good for me in this round marin said.
She placed a normal knife she had had scince she left the momoi triplets " really" erin said with a smile thinking she would win this easily.
Marin closed her eyes waiting for the timer to say start.
She breathed and listened. the timer started. she was quick instead of standing in one poition she used barely any power but turning. As she turned like a ballerina she cut more than ten pieces but 14.
TIME! The timer said.
" I actually worked in a restaurant some time with the momoi triplets. We had to work rather quickly" marin said
"I can see that." Erin said.
Marin and melans turn.
Marin didn't know what to do.
melan... Marin thought.
Marin... Melan thought.
" I withdraw!" marin said " what"? Everybody says.
" you stupid fool! You are admitting defeat wich means you cant cut in 10 seconds and lose for the first time!." Pyon said.
That struck marins first nerve.
" aren't you pure white?" he added
Second nerve.
Marin made a death stare at Pyon set the timer, took out a katana and cut the fruit in 20 pieces in 10 seconds.
Pyon shrugged.
Marin stomped away with melan.
She sat on the hill with melan.
" they're probably mad..." marin said.
" marin..."
" I get angry sometimes just like that I really am still 13." she said sighing.
" marin... To me you're just the same even if you're titled pure white, you are still the same but also you have become great" melan said holding her hands.
Marin blushed and hugged him.
" thank you..." she said starting to burst into tears.
