Brian was suddenly in a dark forest on the outskirts of Dianeo. He must have been wandering through the forest for at least an hour, hoping for some sign of the beast which he was to slay.

Two bright beams of light, one pink and one blue, shone into a shimmering waterfall. Brian, entranced, followed these lights to the edge of a small pond, sitting on a large moss covered rock, still staring into the lights.

"Prince Brian, this waterfall is a special one," he heard a voice proclaim. "Drink from it, and your strength shall be renewed, as well as your health perfect always." Brian became somewhat scared and obidiently drank a handful out of the water. This satisfied the owner of the voice. Out of each beam of light stepped Zulema and Mirabelle. Brian immediately fell to his knees, awed by the sight of the two extremely powerful gods.

"Brian, we feel you need your strength to keep this up and defeat this monster. We are here to help you, my Prince," Zulema said, reaching out to touch Brian's shoulder in order to greater the strengths he gave to Brian.

"Thank you," Brian replied humbly. The gods smiled and nodded, glad to be able to help him. Brian, completely amazed and stunned about what just happened, started walking off in the opposite direction of that which he came. Zulema and Mirabelle disappeared, smiling.
