Synan and Zoe get a transport from Sky
Island with help from the Skybers. Back on the
center plateau on Skyber Fortress, Zoe notices
that Sarah is back in the Book Temple. Synan notices, too.
Synan walks into the throne room of the king of the Skybers.
“Uhh, excuse me. Can Zoe and I get a ride back to the book temple?”
“No.” The king replies.
“What? Why not?”
“Because I have a Linking Book to get you back there.”
“Oh okay. Can we use that?”
“Of course. Go find Zoe first.”
Synan leaves and shortly returns with Zoe. They
Link into the book and are back in the book temple.
“Welcome back.” Sarah greets them.
“Hi Sarah!” Zoe says.
“So...” Synan says.
“Oh yeah. Sarah, is there a book to get inside the
Earth Barrier?” Zoe asks.
“No. The Earth Barrier is the green door. You mean,
a book to get inside Illusion Cave, right?”
“Umm... yeah, I guess.” Zoe says.
“But, I dont have a book like that. If you want,
I can make one. It wont take any later than a month.”
“A month?!” Synan and Zoe say together.
“We cant wait that long!” Zoe yells.
“Chill. I have the Earth Key here.” Sarah tells them.
“......... You mean you had that key the entire time?!” Synan questions.
“No. I got it from those Monks. They seem to collect these keys.
They wouldnt give me the Warp Key, though.”
“You mean those Monks also have the Warp Key?!?!” Synan asks.
“Yes.”
“So... can you give us the Earth Key?” Zoe asks.
“Sure.” Sarah gives them the Earth Key.
“Okay! Time to get to that cave!” Synan yells.
“See ya later, Sarah!” Zoe and Synan leave.
They soon come to the cave, Illusion Cave. A lime-
green door is bolted to one side. Synan fits the key into
its hole. The door slowly opens. The blackness inside--It is
so black, that the light shining in from outside is sucked too
far in for effect.
“Whoa. I wonder what could be in there...” Zoe asks.
“Lets find out.”
Synan and Zoe take a few steps into the blackness.
The green doors slam and lock behind them, leaving them
in complete blackness.
“What if we get lost in here?” Synan
wonders, worrily.
“I know!” Zoe yells. Her voice echoes
through the dark hallways.
Zoe appears to be throwing something.
Soon, a bright flash shows what she threw: an
Ideya Marble. The flash becomes a--Skyber!
In the dark, the Skybers black crystal glows
a lightning-yellow. It lights up the hallways.
“Good idea, but, where did you get
that Skyber?” Synan says.
“I got it while you were talking to the
king of the Skybers.”
“Oh.”
They walk on down the hallway.
At several places, there are intersections that
split off into different directions, most lead to
dead ends. They pass by one intersection and
Zoe looks down the hall to the left, Skyber
perched on her shoulder.
“Synan...look at this...”
Synan and Zoe look down the tunnel.
Along one wall there is a little girl curled up in
a ball. She is about six or seven years old.
Zoe goes in to help.
“Hi, my name is Zoe. Whats yours?”
“...Elsie”
“Okay. What are you doing in a place
like this?”
“I got lost. My family is probably worried
about me.”
“Which way did your family go?”
The little girl points down the hallway.
“Well. Well help you find them.”
“Okay.”
Elsie stands up. The three begin walking
down the hallway. Elsie jumps on Synans back.
“Give me a piggy-back ride!!”
“Umm okay.” Synan says. Zoe smiles
mockingly at Synan.
They walk down millions upon millions
of twisting, turning tunnels. They turn down one.
Synan and Zoe look at eachother for a second,
not paying attention to the hall ahead of them.
Elsie covers her eyes.
“What?” Zoe says quietly. Zoe and
Synan look forward. There is a little ghostlike
monster about eight feet ahead of them.
Its head is shaped almost like a
hornets. The top of its head is round with
tiny, catlike ears. It has large eyes. In its misty
form, they almost appear blue. Its body is
almost like a cats, except it has larger claws
on its hands, but none on its feet. None in
appearance, anyway. Its tail is about as long
as it is tall.
It makes a high-pitched sound and
turns to fly away. It is soon gone in the
darkness.
“What the h--?” Zoe covers Synans
mouth before he can finish. Zoe whispers,
“Dont swear around the kid!”
“Okay.”
“What was that thing?” Elsie asks.
“Im not sure. It looked like a ghost.”
“I hate ghosts!” Elsie cries on the
thought of being lost in a haunted maze.
“Great going, Synan!!” Zoe smacks
the back of his head, “You made the kid cry!”
“Oh boy.”
“Well, try to shut her up!” Zoe yells.
“Youre the only one who knows how
girls act! You shut her up!”
“Well I didnt make her cry!”
Zoe and Synan keep fighting.
