A continuation of last time.

Steph slept soundly, and in no time, she was in dreamland, where she encountered a man who wore the suit of a general.
Steph: Who are you?
"I am the General. You are the one who's soul fused with the spirit of the Legendary Ancient Aqua Nymph, correct?"
Steph: The General.. so that must be no myth as well... yes, yes I am.
"Good. Listen, I want you to know this; there's more to the Aqua Nymph than just having the power to manipulate water, and you have been chosen for that task. The Aqua Nymph is one of the three Elemental Gem Guardian spirits, along with the Inferno Knight and the Wind Guardian. They hold the key to unlock the chest that stores the Elemental Gems. You must use that key in order to unlock that chest, the Elementals need it, and soon."
Steph: Why so soon?
"The universe in which we live in is in grave danger, I cannot hold it any longer, nor can I seal it repeatedly, a battle is soon to come, between good and evil, and the Elementals are the only ones who can stop it. And they need those gems."
Steph: I..I understand, but please, where do I find the key?
"Sadly, I do not know, the Aqua Nymph did not permit me to have knowledge about the whereabouts to the key of such a powerful tool. Only you can find it."
Steph: But...how?
"The Aqua Nymph is a powerful being, much like myself. And such, she is able to communicate with you through your dreams as well. And that's exactly why I summoned her."
A spirit of a bright blue hue then appeared beside the General and formed itself into a beautiful lady with long wavy blue hair and gentle blue eyes. "Thank you General, you may go."
"And that I shall do. Farewell." And with that, he is gone, leaving only Steph and the Aqua Nymph.
"Stephanie."
Steph: Yes?
"There is no need to look for the key, I shall willingly give it to you."
Steph: R-really?
"Yes, but you must hurry, there is not much time left before the General fully weakens. The chest, however, is located inside our old palace. That palace is located in the realm of Algor Magic. Psychic can take you there."
Steph: O-okay..I understand.
"Please be careful, I wish you luck on your journey."
Steph: Thank you.
...
Once again, the dark figure appeared in a cloud of smoke, chuckling darkly. The General stood up from his seat, glaring at him.
"What do you want now, Lord Artemis?"
"No more of your foolish games, General. Drop the act, you know why I'm here."
The General clenched his fist. "I am well-aware of the prophecy, about the battle that's about to commence. But please, give me at least a year to hone their skills."
Lord Artemis crossed his arms. "So you chose to beg now? Very well, this amuses me so I accept. It's no fun if that battle isn't fair, after all. Right," he snapped his fingers and made a giant clock appear. He placed the both of its hands on the twelve. "You have one year, when this clock strikes twelve, so will the battle commence." He laughed evilly before he once again, disappeared.
The General sat back down on his throne and sighed. "One year..."

To be continued.
One year is all that they have to prepare themselves...
