GLORY RETURNED
They arrived at the cave entrance. Musashi had become pale, Fukushima was growing tired having to carry more than just his own body weight, Tomoe had remained silent once more, and to add to the confusion, the Tamamayu Book seemed to glow. Fukushima ran into the cave carrying the book, and seconds later Tomoe stumbled back as she watched Fukushima get thrown back out of the cave, with the book no longer in his possesion. Musashi had colapsed when Fukushima had left his side to run into the cave, but now he was slithering across the dirt to enter the cave too. Tomoe rushed over to where Fukushima lay. Musashi made it inside the cave and couldn't believe his eyes. The book was hovering over the alter in a skyblue glow.
"BOOK OF TAMAMAYU, I AM MUSASHI, I WISH FOR A SPELL. Watashitachi wa Zenkai desu!!" The three suddenly became covered in a skyblue glow, just like the book. Musashi was now able to stand up. He removed all his upper-body clothing and stood up proud and tall. Looking down at his side he saw the wound had gone, and no scar remained. He felt all his power return, and actually felt stronger. Musashi rushed outside, "Fukushima san, Tomoe san," then looks to the sky, "Otooji san, you were right about the legends, YOU WERE RIGHT." He ran over to where the other two were now standing. All three were no longer fatuiged. They all looked like they had been fully restored to perfect health which was strange as Musashi has sworn he saw Fukushima land on a large stick which appeared to puncture through his chest. The three of them walked back into the cave and surrounded the alter, and the book opened, again to the page with three dragons on it, but unlike before when Fukushima was alone, the book started to project an Image of an ancient elder. Without warning the projection spoke.
"Your world breeds chaos and destruction. Long since has our wisdom been forgotten by you all. Yet we are merciful, we wish human existance to continue. Search out the three souls we have chosen to be the keepers of the Tri-Dragons of Tamamayu. They shall bring much change to your world, and eventual peace." and with that final word the projection vanished and the book floated over and dropped into Tomoe's arms. All three of them stepped out of the cave, Musashi leading. Dawn had come and the sky was clear. One quest had finished, but another, had only just begun.
