Another morning arrives, and the bruises from the battle the other day still hasn't gone away. I get outta bed and go to check up on Chris. Once I got there I see that he's finally awake.

Nitro- Chris!

Chris- huh, nitro!

We run to each other and hug for what seems like hours. I don't remember the last time I've seen him this happy.

Chris- how the hell did you get here!? I was so scared.

Nitro- I should be asking you that!

Chris- you didn't answer any of my calls, so when I went out to find you I ended up here!

Nitro- can you tell me what happened when you came here?

Chris- I was attacked by someone, I almost died but then this strange lady came to save me, she was yelling alot but when I woke up she was really nice to me. She gave me this strange crown and then it's a total blur.

Nitro- Heket gave you the yellow crown.

Chris- Heket. . . Is that her name?

Nitro- yup, that lady almost beat me to a pulp.

Chris- she was really nice, she kept me at my side at all times when she was talking to the others.

Nitro- is that so. . .

Chris- aww baby! Don't get jealous! I still love you.

Nitro- hehe, I'm just glad she has some kindness. . .

The two of us talked for a while until another one of my followers approached me.

???- my leader, followers are getting severally ill and will die in a few days if nothing is done about them!

???- something must be done!

Nitro- don't worry. All the followers that are sick please send them all to the healing bay. I'll have Dina tend to them for me.

???- but what about you, leader?

Nitro- me and Chris are going to head out and find more materials. . . 'lord knows we need more decorations'

???- understood! Please take care leader!

Heading back towards the gateway I stop to think at the statue of the red crown, whatever the one who waits is planing I won't let him harm my friends.

Nitro- we still need to find out who the other two deciples are! My hunch is that this next one is either Eva or wimothy.

Chris- we'll see. . .

Walking to the next door I see that its surrounded by water.

Chris- water. . . Yay. . .

Nitro- how are we gonna navigate this place when it's underwater!?

Chris- guess we'll have to try! Here we go!

We jump in and brace ourselves. Opening our eyes we see that. . . We're not underwater, but we were surrounded by it. The room sparkled as the sunlight shimmers on the seafloor. Seagrass and shells littered the ground. And shining crystals were buried within shipwrecks. It looked more like a palace than a land.

Chris- so much sparkle!

Nitro- Chris, stick with me. It could be dangerous.

Chris- oh uh right.

Kallamar- . . . And so they arrive. . . Look at the two of them, walking side by side protecting the both of them. . . Sisters deciple abandoned her and gave into the humans gospel. . . Filthy traitor. Maybe this will scare them out. . .
