A hail of darts flew towards Arya and Quin. "I said it was a trap!" Arya yelled, quickly deflecting the missiles with two Chakram, "but no, you had to run towards a common Master Seal! What's wrong with you?!"
"What's wrong with me? I wasn't the one who picked it up!" Quin said.
"Can't we just stop fighting?!" Espeon said, using the move Protect to cover them.
Quin sighed, "well, this seal won't help so what do we do?"
Arya answered her, "To disable these traps we need to place it back."
"Why didn't you just say so?!" Quin said, putting the Master Seal back on the plate. As soon as the golden relic shifted the plate, the traps stopped.
Espeon breathed a sigh of relief, releasing the Protect move. "Be glad none hit the top."
Quin ignored him. "I can't believe we fell for a trap. I should have suspected that."
"How can you believe it would be that easy?" A voice said. Quin and Arya turned to see a red haired man looking at them.
Arya spoke up. "Who exactly are you?"
"A friend of Quin's fathers. You may call me Naz." The man said.
"Naz. Slightly odd name for a sorcerer, isn't it?" Quin asked, her hand on her knife.
Naz just laughed. "That puny knife won't hurt me, Quin. Zycron had told me if anything happened to him to keep an eye on you, of all people. I'm more concerned what the Dark Sorcerer Demigra is doing, to be honest. Last time we fought, let's just say Zycron and Sera both almost lost their lives."
"Who's Sera?" Arya asked.
Quin sighed. "Sera is my mother. She had died directly after I was born, so a nursemaid took me in and raised me. It turned out I have my fathers' need for adventure."
Naz laughed. "Sera had that too, you know. I can help point you in the direction of the Seal you seek, but not help you directly."
"I understand," Quin said, "So, great Sorcerer Naz, where do the two of us go?"
Naz pretended to think for a bit, his Gallade, Slice, imitating his pose behind him. "Let's see... 'The legend you seek is in the dusk lit grave, shallow yet deep, and a mother's fave'"
This confused Arya. "And what does that mean?"
Naz shrugged. "I don't know I was just told to tell Quin that if she asked." He then used his magic to teleport out of there.
"Great, he's sending us on a wild goose chase," Arya complained.
"Not exactly..." Quin said, dragging her friend along.
