QUIZ START: After getting off of the boards, you sit on the ground, waiting for your legs to stop shaking
"Are you alright, Aura?" asked Raine. You nod weakly,
"I-I will be."
"...That experience was bad enough for us." Regal commented, "But I imagine it was... traumatic for someone who fears heights."
"..."
"Wait a minute," Zelos said, turning to Lloyd and Raine, "What was this Lloyd said earlier about some...fear of water?"
"I-its nothing!" the Professor insisted,
"Heh," Sheena laughed, folding her arms, and putting slightly more of her weight on one foot "Well, for it being nothing, you sure sound worried."
"..." you shake your head as you continue to try and catch your breath. Soon your legs stopped shaking, you push yourself up,
"Are you feeling better?" asked Presea, you nod
"Yeah. I'm fine now..." you glance back to the edge uneasily, "As long as we don't have to fall any more..." Sheena laughed nervously,
"Don't worry, don't worry." she assured "The alter is right up there." she pointed up the steps,
"Alright." Lloyd said, "Let's go!"
After walking up to the alter... the ground started shaking. Stalagmites burst up from the ground everywhere. Then the Summon Spirit Gnome burst from the ground, landing on the alter,
"So this is Gnome!" Lloyd said,
"Since Volt was Undines opposite." Genis surmised "Gnome's is--"
"Efreet!" Lloyd guessed "If we wake up Efreet, that'll sever their mana flow, right?"
"Not Efreet, Lloyd!" you argue,
"Yes." Raine agreed "It's Sylph! ...Honestly, how many times do I have to tell you before you actually remember it?" Regal looked to Lloyd as the brunette scratched his head,
"I see that the level of education in Sylvarant matches the status of the world." Regal stated. Lloyd blushed,
"Yeah. I guess you could say that!" he agreed, scratching the back of his head nervously.
"Lloyd, that was not a compliment." Presea told him,
"Not everyone is like that." you explain to Regal "It's...just Lloyd. Genis is a better example of the education level."
"All right. Here we go!" Sheena sighed, walking to the alter.
"Hmm... so, you're a summoner, huh?" asked Gnome as she approached, "Well, look, sorry, but I've already got a pact with Mithos, 'k?" you jumped *Mithos... Mithos is here too?!* you wonder,
"There's Mithos' name again." Colette said, "He must have been amazing!"
"I am Sheena!" the summoner announced, "I seek a pact with Gnome. I ask that thou annulst thy pact with Mithos, and establish a new pact with me."
"Man," Gnome groaned, "You sure use some stuff language. Bleh."
"Uh, well..." Sheena stuttered, "I mean, this is how I was taught to do it."
"Really? Oh yeah well, whatever. All right, show me whatcha got! Bring it on! Come on! Heh!" Gnome challenged. Everyone jumped back as he leapt into the air.
After a struggle with the spirit, you finally beat him.
"You guys fight dirty, you know that?" Gnome whined as he returned to his alter, "I mean, what's up with that Many-On-One garbage?! Mithos...well, he did it by himself!" you all sighed in an aggravated manner, *Ugh...your kidding, right?* "Oh yeah?" Gnome countered "Well, whatever. Make your vow already!"
"Augh!" Sheena groaned, "This guy is hard to deal with..." then she called, "For the sake of creating a place in which the two worlds no longer must sacrifice one another, gimme your power!"
"Hm..." Gnome decided, "Well, all right. I'll go ahead and lend my power to you guys."
"Now all we have to do is make a pact with Sylph and we'll sever another one of the mana flows." Lloyd announced, getting the Summon Spirit right this time,
"...Where shall we go next?" asked Presea,
"I've heard that the Summon Spirit, Celsius, resides near Flanior." Regal voiced. You stiffened, *Celsius... Flanior...!?!* you had heard the name Flanior before... It was really familiar...
"Okay then," Lloyd agreed "Let's go have a look."
"Is something wrong, Aura?" asked Colette.
"That name..." you say, "Regal, what city did you say again...?" he looked at you, confusion in his expression, but repeated the name
"Flanior."
"Flanior...." you murmur, putting a hand on your head, "I've heard of that place... I know i have...!"
"Well, we won't know till we go there!" Genis said, punching the air enthusiastically,
"Yeah." Lloyd agreed "Let's go."
"Are you alright, Aura?" asked Raine. You nod weakly,
"I-I will be."
"...That experience was bad enough for us." Regal commented, "But I imagine it was... traumatic for someone who fears heights."
