"Nomey? Why are Amethyst and Click sitting in that dark area?" Adventurer was holding Nomey while watching Click and Amethyst were sulking in the dark corner. "Probably because I broke them when I spoke correctly for the very first time." Nomey says looking up at Adventurer. "Oh. WAIT WHAT-" Adventurer noticed the difference with Nomey and almost dropped them.

"Oh god. DID I BREAK YOU TOO???" Nomey panicked. "By far, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen with you guys." Amethyst says. "I'M RIGHT HERE YOU KNOW!" Nomey yelled. "Wait a minute... How come you couldn't speak correctly before?" Adventurer was filled with questions. "Well, every time I spoke my voice was numb. Like I could say some words correctly but then it becomes gibberish. Also it makes my voice hurt...." Nomey tried to explain.

"I always thought you didn't know how to speak, but this is awesome! Two surprises in one day!" Adventurer smiled. "Amethyst. Punch me. I wanna see if this is a dream." Click says and Amethyst stood up and punched him in the face, "OK OW BUT I ASKED FOR THAT." Click shook his head multiple times and looked at Nomey. "Wow. It's been 13 hours since I met you." Amethyst says looking at Nomey.

"It's actually 13 hours and 45 minutes! ...How do I know that." Nomey exclaimed. "Probably because you calculated time very easily." Click sighed. Suddenly a thought popped into Adventurer's head, "Amethyst? Who is the counsel? You said it when you were-" "About to kill me, and don't you even tell her a word." Click says and looks at Amethyst. "She needs to know, and if I were you I would shut up before I start eating bullets. Adventurer, the counsel are our heroes of this world. They helped us when the times were dark, literally and figuratively." Amethyst says.

"Like the Three heroes of the light!"
"Three heroes of the...CLICK!!"

"I can explain!" Click was crawling backwards. "And this is what I mean! This child has been lied to, again!" Amethyst was mad. "If that's not how it goes... how does the story go?" Adventurer asked as she sat down. "I wanna know too!" Nomey was excited to hear the story as well as Adventurer. "...fine...He doesn't have to die today." Amethyst has her gun out but put it back in her bag and sat down to tell the story.

"Long, long ago, a greedy ruler ruled the world. He wanted all of the treasures of the world and light was his favorite treasure of them all. All the people wanted their light back but were too afraid to tell the king. All of those people had a purpose and they all followed it, until one little girl changed all of that. She happened to stumble across an area still full of light and she explored it with all the time she wanted. Her curiosity turned into fondness, and her fondness turned to love. A faint purple light was growing in her, and she could keep her findings a secret anymore. She began asking her fellow neighbors where she lived about the light in the different places and what they knew about it. Soon the people spread the sayings of the girl and soon word of her reached the ruler. The girl was summoned at once to the ruler's palace. Once she was in the palace, she hid her light so the ruler wouldn't take it. 'Child!' The selfish and greedy ruler began, 'What have you been saying out there?!' 'Ruler!' The girl says, 'It has come to my attention that your lands contain light, and I know that you want all the light to yourself but I say I would like to keep the light where it is!' The ruler thought for a moment and laughed at her, a wicked, empty, laugh. 'You wish to free the light for the cost of my pleasure? You are one funny little girl! Return to your village and I will forget your request.' And with that she was dragged back to her village. Only the girl could no longer stand by and see all the light be taken away. She had no choice, she had to fight for it. 'Is this what you all want?! To live for only one purpose and that is to please the ruler of our world?! I've seen the remaining light and it lives here! It lives in all of us! Will you watch it get taken? Or will you join it and be free from the darkness that is coming?!' The girl's wanted to rebel with the people in her village but they were too scared to join the fight for our light. Her message began to resonate to the ruler's dismay and he ordered the girl to be brought in at once. The girl was gone from her village when his court came to bring her to the palace. She had left to find people who understanded her and weren't afraid to express how they were feeling. She searched for days until she had found three other children who were casted out as being wrong. A boy with a red raging light, he was a keeper of keys, a solver of every lock and problem that came his way. A girl with a kind green light, she appreciated all life forms and wanted that life to be free anywhere and everywhere. And another boy with a determined light blue light, he had seen his purpose and the outcome for himself and wanted a new outcome that would change and save light, like a shattered mirror with every piece of the mirror being more and more outcomes and purposes. Those who wanted to save the light from the wrath of the ruler were called The Heroes of the Light. After freeing and fighting for the remaining areas of light, they approach the ruler's palace, hiding their light. 'Finally! You guys are finally not a coward and approach me!' The ruler said. 'Cowards?! We are no cowards! We fought for the light's and the people's freedom!' The boy with the light blue light exclaimed. 'Yeah! You are a coward! You didn't even fight yourself!' The boy with the red light said.  'I have more important things to do than fight children.' The ruler scoffed. 'Like what, steal more light?!' The girl with the green light yelled. 'You have what? Puny weapons! I have an army to fight you!' The ruler yelled back until he was attacked by the girl that had her purple light, 'How dare you! You dare to attack me?!' He ordered his army to kill the children, but the army had no chance against them. They fought until the ruler's army fled and the children's light we're shown to the ruler for the first time. 'Impossible. Impossible! How could children defeat my army!' The ruler was shocked. 'Your ruling of terror has come to an end. Step down Dark ruler.' The girl with the purple light said. 'Then who will rule?! You can't rule the world!' The ruler said. 'Yes, that is true. I can't. But with the help of my friends, and our allies, we can free this world from the pain you have caused.' She said, smiling, 'After all, all heroes have friends to help them.' The ruler stepped down, freed the light, and ran away. The Heroes of the Light freed everyone from their pain, and ruled better than the Dark, greedy, selfish, ruler. Everyone was happy in the end, seeing that the Counsel was ruling them."

"Woah...." Adventurer says. She was amazed by Amethyst's story. "Amazing how one child can change history, isn't that so?" Amethyst patted her on the head. "Yeah! It's awesome how she started a rebellion on her own!" Nomey says. "Ugh..." Click sighed. "Click, how come you don't like the story?" Adventurer looked at him. "I...I just don't like it." Click looked away, having a regretful look on his face.

"Well, I like both of your stories! Even though it's not how it goes." Adventurer says. She stood up and looked at the waterfall. "...that's sweet." Click says, "...Adventurer, I forgot to ask. What 's your opinion on boat rides?" He stood up and stood next to Adventurer. "Boat?" Adventurer looked at him then at Amethyst who was also next to her.

Suddenly the waterfall stopped and a cave appeared. A crystal rowboat was moving out of the cave and towards them. Click and Amethyst got in, and extended their hands. Adventurer put Nomey in her pocket, or it just hopped in, and held both of their hands. She sat down, and so did Amethyst and Click. Adventurer was examining the boat and said, "Um... Amethyst? Click? Where's the paddles?"

All of a sudden the boat moved by itself, the waterfall started pouring again, and then the four of them were deep in the cave.
