Hello again readers,
Author's Note: Forgot to mention in the last chapter; there is still going to be a character death. I just moved it to near the end of the story. Although I think it's pretty obvious by now, I have decided who it is really going to be.
Enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the story idea.
Chapter 24:
Ancient Ruins
…
…
Sarasaland;
Muda Kingdom
…
Muda Kingdom; one of the four kingdoms of the Sarasaland. Up above the night sky, a full moon hung brightly causing the waters to glimmer. Floating over its great water was a small ship rocking gently across.
Standing on the dock of that small ship was Fawful who was busy working and his minion Midbus who wasn't doing anything. The two had been out at sea for a few days now. While Fawful was trying to find the location of the Ancient Ruins, Midbus stood behind him looking a bit bored. It was getting pretty tiresome looking at nothing but blue water all day.
The pig minion let out a bored sigh and looked over to where his master stood. The green bean was completely focused on his work. The only time he'll look away was when he was taking a quick break.
He signed again and looks back at the sea. As soon as he did that, he heard the sound of a small shockwave in the air. He turned back around to see the magical jester had appeared.
"Have you found it?"
Fawful paused from his work and turn to the jester behind him. He grinned, "Indeed I have,"
"Excellent," Dimentio said. "Hidden in the Ancient Ruins is a mystical platform that can activate the power of the Ancient Items."
He looks out to the sea that was the Muda Kingdom. "According to legend, the Ruins disappeared under the great waves of a sea and no one was able to pinpoint its whereabouts. But thanks to you, my friend… nothing is impossible."
He looks up to the sky, where the full moon shines brightly. "And judging by the moon's position, I say we're only minutes away before the final part of my plan becomes reality."
He turned back to Fawful. "From this day forward, the fate of the Mushroom World will be completely under our control."
…
Fifteen minutes have pass and the moon has finally fallen into position. Suddenly, the gentle waves started getting rough and the ship riding it rocked back and forth. As the waves became rougher, something big started to surface from the waters.
"It is time,"
Fawful and Midbus had to hang onto something as the ship's rough movement made it hard to them to stand straight. Dimentio simply watch with much glee in his black and yellow eyes as a large, ancient temple ruin as big as a small island started to rise from under the sea.
"At long last, the Ancient Ruins has finally revealed itself."
"Midbus! Take us to Ruins," Fawful
The big pig nodded and left to stir the ship towards the Ruins. Like any other man-made architecture, the Ancient Ruins was in a state of disrepair and was deteriorating due to time and water damage. Once they found a place to set anchor, they took the first steps to set foot on the Ruins in about a thousand years.
"This way,"
Dimentio flew ahead, leading them to where they need to go. Fawful and Midbus looked at each other before following after the jester as they made their way through it.
