Mitsuki lay down, reading the book on her warm bed. A frown formed between her eyebrows as she scanned the book desperately to find more clues to what the words meant. It was a lost cause. She gave up, sighing and getting off the bed.
"Anything?" Rumi asked, looking up from the map.
"No, I suggest we just go to the location and see for ourselves," Mitsuki said.
So they gathered up again and followed the map. It led them across fields, forests and heathland. They for a break, and after hours of tireless walking, Lurin said:
"We should be almost there. Actually... we should be there! What was it? I hope it wasn't a false alarm!"
They split up, and looked around. there was a tiny little piece of land jutting out where a forest thrived on top, and a small pond with steam rising slowly out of it. Behind, there was a small gathering of trees and around were long, endless fields. Mitsuki clung onto the small, rocky side of the piece of land, and hauled herself over. She brushed herself off, and headed inside of the small forest.
Little fireflies stuck around in the shade, and warm, yellow shards of light tore through the dense canopy of leaves, and even the small, rare particles of dust and dirt floating about seemed to be golden. Mitsuki walked towards a clearing through the leaves and looping vines. Curiously, she tucked away the vines behind the twisting branches of the trees, and stepped forward into the small clearing. There it was. She had found it. Excalibur. It stood firmly in it's stone, and the seven gems were in the center. Slowly, Mitsuki started walking froward, to see if she could take it out.....

"Lurin! Rumi! Toruko! I found it!" She called. Not long after, rustling came from behind as the three came to a sudden stop at the clearing. "Have a go!" Mitsuki said, her eyes gleaming. Toruko stepped forward and put his hands on the sword, and pulled. He pulled and pulled until his arms were sore, and nothing happened. "Aaww!" He sighed. Then Rumi and the same happened. She let go, and flew backwards. Then Lurin. His tall, slender figure walked toward the sword and he pulled it abruptly. A few bits of rock crumbled down, but nothing happened." Well, I guess it's Mitsuki's turn now!" He said, not bothered by the fact that he couldn't pull it out. Mitsuki took a deep breath, and went to pull out Excalibur. She used all if her strength, but it didn't come out. Gasping, she rested her hands and tried again. Something shifted, and then, slowly.... It came out! "Aaahh!" She screamed, as she was flung backwards. A beam of green light spun around her. A strong gust of air tore through her fluffy hair and the beam went straight through her. It hurt terribly! "Ow! That hurt!" She got up, shaking the dirt off herself.
"Woaahhh! You did it!" Toruko smiled, jumping around in circles.
"Yeah she did, but its no big deal," said Lurin lookind down at him.
"You're just jealous!" Said Mitsuki in a funny voice. So they went back to the barn, to see what they could find....
