Wrong Time, Wrong Place

Caverns

The Saviour opened the door and stepped onto a conveyer that took him to the next area of Sky Emporium. He finds Cyalm standing nearby, and looks at him skeptically.

"Teleportation, saviour."

"Oh! Okay, I was confused for a second"

"This is one of my favorite rooms in the entire emporium"

"Oh? It does look lovely, what if you added fishes in the water?"

"I would, but who's going to care for them? I'm certainly too busy to remember that"

"I could, if I was given a chance"

"Maybe, but you should go see Signol at Club Cavern now, he's waiting for you"

The saviour nodded and headed over to the entrance of Signol's world, he looked around in awe as he climbed the platforms in the world, spotting Signol standing against a table. Signol's symbol flickered as he noticed their presence.

"So, you're the one who's supposed to be the new Star Savior, huh?"

"Yeah, that's me"

"Come back with a few stars from my club and then I'll know you're serious."

"Can I take a moment to tell you that your club looks great? The music's pretty good, I really feel like I could dance to it"

"Oh, a fan of this stuff too eh?"

"I play the guitar!"

"No way! Now I want to see how you play- though later, you know what to do first"

"Of course"

He walks off and gathered stars nearby, enjoying the music. He stops short in front of an aquarium, looking at it skeptically.

"Do I really have to swim to get a star?"

The saviour sighed and jumped into the water without hesitation, swimming towards the other side. He emerges from the water at the other said, gasping for breath, climbing out of the aquarium.

"That was actually cold, I don't think the next world will be fun for me..."

Despite his clothing being soaked, he continued to wander further into the place, obtaining a star above a big jukebox. He went back to go to another part of Club Cavern, leaving a trail of water as he went. Signol takes notice of the trail and stops the Saviour.

"Stop right there- you didn't take off your clothes while swimming through the aquariums?"

"I don't like the idea of doing that, I really don't mind this"

"You're leaving a trail of water around! Take off your cloak and turtleneck sweater and hand them to me. You're staying put until those fully dry"

"Fine" He did what he was told and sat down at the table nearby, Signol went to hang his clothes on something and got a towel for the Saviour. He then sits on the other chair at the table.

"It shouldn't take long for those to dry"

"Sorry about that, I should've done that before swimming in the aquarium"

"It's alright, just that I'm making sure that no one slips because the floor's wet and everything. And you do know where you're headed to after this?"

"Sort of"

"It's cold out there, like north pole cold. Compale could give you a jacket but you need to warm up beforehand, it's not a great feeling unless you can handle the cold"

"Alright, I get it. Could you tell me about what instruments you can play while we wait?"

"Oh yeah of course, I can play many instruments, from the saxophone to the drums and even things like the guitar. I could play the electric guitar if I felt like it."

"That's really cool! All I really know is how to play the guitar- I didn't get to learn anything else"

"I could teach you how to play other instruments if you'd like, well after Celesteal's defeated. Though I'd like to see how you'd play the guitar, now that we have the time to do so for a while"

Signol got up and took his guitar, handing it to the saviour. He took a moment to look at the guitar before he began playing the instrument, Signol watched as he played it, he noticed a sad look on the saviour's face that gradually appeared overtime.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm... I'm fine, sorry I got emotional for a moment"

"Emotional?"

"Yeah... It reminded me of the man who took care of me since my parents died when I was an infant, he bought me a guitar when I was ten since I was really interested in learning how to play it"

"Aw that's so sweet, and sad-"

"Mhm, but it's all fine, doesn't hurt too much. Also I think my clothes are dry now"

"Of course, I'll go check"

Signol goes to check on the clothes, it has gotten dry. He takes it and tosses to him, to which he puts on.

"Well, that was a nice chat. You can resume getting those stars"

The Saviour nodded and headed towards the other direction, he goes on to get the rest of the stars before heading back to Signol.

"I got the stars, I assume there will be a challenge course"

"Yep. But it'll be tricky, and I ain't holding back like that pushover Shallare— This is going to be a real challenge!"

The Saviour nodded and Signol teleported him into the challenge course. Without any problems, he was able to get through the whole course, reaching Signol at the end by a table.

"Man, I was sure you'd never get past all those traps! I guess that settles it, doesn't it? My symbol is all yours, noble Star Savior."

"Thank you, Signol"

Signol's symbol flickered as he teleported the saviour back to the entrance of his world. He waved goodbye as he steps into the portal, taking him back to sky emporium. He noticed that Shallare was speaking to Cyalm nearby, they seemed to be too focused on their chat to notice the saviour. He shrugged and let them be, heading to Frosted Snowland.
