[Ignis Phasmatis]

The energy is coming from... down there? I'll go first, I suppose.

Ignis dove headfirst into the water. Soon after, a twin blasts of purple flames began to propel him downwards at a faster rate.

[Ryou Bakura]

Bakura looked at the bubbles rising from the other end of the river due to the fire, and smiled again. "It appears I'm going to lose my bet. Oh well. At least now we've got a mysterious third entity. Here's hoping one of them kicks the bucket."

[Serene]

Placing her creation on the wet waters, Serene flew onto the seat. To her relief, the raft-chair did not sink immediately, but it wobbled back and forth. She didn't notice much of a current, so she took out her Hell Scythe and began paddling across. However, it seemed as if the water began freezing overtime. Well, the Hell Scythe is an ice elemental, after all... She hoped that no one was in the water, else they could be frozen by the Hell Scythe's icy fury.

[Dark Prognosticus]

DP stared blankly.

"I feel like I should be doing something... but I don't know whaaaaaaat...."

[Louis]

Ashitaka saw Serene from above and landed nearby. from a concealed loacation he manipulated the water. A strong current was forming in the direction of the shore where Ashitaka was.

[Serene]

Noticing the sudden change in current, Serene sighed. I guess the water isn't happy with me freezing it. What a strange place...



Choosing to leave her creation behind (it was much too heavy for her to carry!), Serene began flapping her wings and flew to the side of the river, safe from any danger for the time being.

"It was only a silly raft anyways," she said with a small chuckle.

[Tayl]

Cel happened to notice Serene, and snapped out of her trance-like state.

"Oh...? Who are you? I don't remember seeing you in Castle Oress..."

Bunny pulled out a random anvil, tied himself to it, and tossed it in. Instant sinking, lol. :3

Umbra, however, stayed behind; she had taken note of the group on the other side...

[Serene]

"I am Serene, last of the Arcs," Serene replied. "I was born on Rosalina Island in Riviera, someplace far away from here. I...don't know why I am here." Serene sighed and looked toward the ground. "I...only wish to be with my friends again..."



(This would be a good time for Serene's longer lyricless theme to come in. Actually, it would be a good time for it to start at her introduction, then fade out as she talks more about what has happened to her.)

[Tayl]

"You're not the only person who's lost...I know why I'm here, in The Underwhere, looking for my own friends...but I don't know why I'm here, in this Reality.

World's sure a crazy place, huh?"

[Dark Prognosticus]

"I don't know why I came along. Not much I can do after all..."

[Ignis Phasmatis]

Upon seeing the door, Ignis let loose a blast of energy to propel himself swiftly though the door and into the small chamber. Finally, with one last burst of flame, Ignis emerged into the chamber above.

[Zuzu]

"Yes. Yes it is..." Serene replied, ending in yet another sigh. "I wonder how Cierra and the others are doing..."



In the meantime, who should appear but the Scarlet Witch, Cierra! Although she was also separated from Serene (and who knows who else), Cierra was more concerned with finding herbs in the area to turn into magical remedies.

"They really don't have anything here, I guess..." Cierra said with a smile.

[Tayl]

"Don't say that, DP! We can all help, but..."

Cel looked back down at the river.

"Something...something's wrong..."

[Dark Prognosticus]

"Well I WANT to help but...

Wait, what's wrong?"

[Serene]

"Oh, the river? Yeah, it started becoming more violent at I rode down it on my raft... Either it didn't like me accidentally turning it into ice bit by bit, or somebody caused this to happen..." Serene said calmly.
