Lloyd felt lost. Why did this have to happen so fast? He didn't know where to start with anything. Lloyd was not a leader and Morro just suddenly placed an entire kingdom in his hands.

What if he screwed something up? It would be all his fault. He had such little experience!

Of course, he had the paper work and demands of the people but to which ones did he listen to?

"I just have to guess my best estimate of what Morro would do." Lloyd thought. Of course there were supervisors and others in the castle that could help him out but he didn't want to rely on their input too much.

Just as he thought he could get by easy and solve all the easy things first, a younger female placed somewhere on the counsel ran up to him.

"My king! Something terrible is happening!" She cried.

Lloyd mentally slapped himself into paying attention. King? How was he going to get used to this? What was wrong with 'Lloyd'? "What is it? What's happened?" He asked.

She grabbed his hand and took off, making him run behind her at top speed. She brought him to the South-West tower, which went into an open to an upper outdoor platform closed off by insulated glass doors. Here was where a majority of the kingdom could be watched over. Lloyd immediately froze but caught his breath and looked over the people. The female with him directed his eyes more to the west.

"Fire." She said, half whispering.

"How is that possible?" Lloyd worriedly questioned.

"We tried to figure that out! It's said there were sightings of people in masks and light armor and they had strange powers! The leader had some sort of scepter that-that-that produced the fire!"

Lloyd shook his head, "That should be impossible! The materials this kingdom is made of should be invincible to fire!"

"I know! We need to put it out!"

"Water...Water puts out fire! Where is our largest water supply?"

"Shouldn't it be here?"

"No. Morro developed a strange fear of water as a child. He's found similar sources similar to it to drink and bathe. He was unable to work a source for water here into the castle. All I can say is it isn't anywhere near where it could harm him." Lloyd shook his head. "But perhaps he has it charted on a map."

"We don't have much time!"

"Right. I need you to gather a group to evacuate the people to a safer location. I'll gather some to help me put it out. Also- I need just one more group to try to track down the ones behind this."

"Right away!" With that, she ran off.
