Fortem used stone edge once more and lifted the creature up on a
platform, disabling it from going back underground. This should
make it easier, he hoped.
Fortem covered the creature with a layer of sand using sand attack,
then approached the chest, opening it slowly. He'd check out the
instrument afterwards.
Fortem handed the amulet to mewtwo for safe keeping, then sniffed
the drums, and picked them up, putting the strap attatched to the
drums around his neck. "So... should we head back then?"
[All]
There was only one amulet and drum....but regardless.
"Look at that blue beam...it looks like it's beaming up to the
sky." Mewtwo said. "Maybe we should step on it and it'll get us out
of here?"
"Seems a little sketchy to me," Fortem commented. "But I guess we
could try..." Cautiously, he stepped in front of the beam. It
didn't smell like anything... seemed safe enough. He stepped in
front of it.
It seemed as though being in the temple and travelling across the
desert either took longer than they thought of it warped their
perception of time. Either way, the sun rises over a new day
Fortem yawned. It was already morning? He didn't even realised that
he'd shifted forms into dusk or midninght.... maybe it was an
effect of the temple, or maybe he was too focused to realise.
Either way, the desert seemed more peaceful today, with less gusts
of winds sending sand around.
"Lets show them to Azure," Fortem suggested. "He's probably
waiting." Fortem noticed that the keldeo and the riolu weren't
back... he was worried, and hoped they were okay.
[All]
Azure nodded to them. "That's three parts and three
instruments...we're that much closer to performing the Sacred Duet.
Soon...we'll have to find one person to play each instrument. And
on person to sing."
