| Cedric: It's more like I don't care enough to be physically involved.
Lucas: That's enough you, two. Clara: In anycase, we risk our lives on everything we do. Cedric: I take it no one else objects to the fee then? Good. There is a way to infiltrate the ruins through another opening. Arminas: Guess I thought right.. Cedric: If you walk over to where the path branches, you will find a a ruin known as the Great Hollow. In the deepest part of it lies the other way in. To tell you the truth, I was fairly certain you would request this information. I have already sent Cidoshi on ahead to that spot. Rufus: Hold on, boy. About this life bidness.. Cedric: You were supposed to mention it while we were on that topic, you brainless monkey. Rufus: Hey! Ain't no need for gettin' personal! Jus' wanted to ask how's risking our lives for this is any better than jus' kickin' some ass in there? Cedric: My way's guarenteed to bypass all the soldiers and monsters, as well as taking you to the deepest part of the ruins. |

| "So why didn't they take it? I'm sure they have an intelligence department."
Ark already knew the answer, there was something in the Great Hollow that was going to be a big danger to them. |

| Cedric: Inconvenience, assuming they learned about it after making this their base.
Lucas: .... You have our gratitude, Cedric. All right, everyone, let's head for the Great Hollow. Everyone but Cedric started to walk in the direction of the Great Hollow. Arminas stopped momentarily, and looked at Cedric. Arminas: Thanks for your help. Cedric: I pray that you succeed this time. Becareful not to let Rufus trip you up. Rufus: Ah heard that! |

| Elle didn't move forward with the group.
"Yeah, I know Elle, that's probably a good idea... Cedric, can I trust you to look after her? She doesn't want to go into such a large battle because I'll be more worried about her than fighting." "Maybe Elle will manage to teach that kid some manners..." |

| Cedric: Well, atleast one person cares for their own well being. So be it.
Lily: C'mon, Drenchy! You're holding us up! Arminas: That's a contradiction if I've heard of one... |

| "All right, all right."
Ark started to walk with the group. "Forgive me for listening to a mute." |

| Lily let out a giggle.
Rufus: Uh.. Why we be listenin' to that little kid, anyway? Clara: He's Cedric the Unseen. He's supposed to know more about this island than anyone else does. Rufus: If you ask me, he's some punkass fittin' for a smacking. Lucas: Yes.. well.. he was atleast nice enough to give us information.. as rough as he sounded. Lily: Great Hollow.... I think I remember from my notes that there's a duct around there. The best thing to think of when going there is, like, metal leaves growing out of a hole. Rufus: Ya'll be teasing me, and yet even Bubbles here doesn't make sense. --------------------- A little while after they had lost sight of the group, Cedric walked to the wall he was standing at when he saw everyone. He looked at the wall and smirked. Cedric: They seemed satisfied. He then turned his head to the side to look at Elle. Cedric: Did you stay behind for the cheaper information? Or was it something else on your mind? |

| "I'll agree with you Rufus. If we didn't need his information, his attitude would've landed him a punch in the gut a long time ago."
Ark sighed. "Oh well, we will only have to run into him one more time." Elle opened her mouth to speak and tried to form a word, but there was no sound. Instead, she leaned down and started to write in the dirt. "Oh, it's nothing like that." Elle stood back up and remembered that she forgot to ask for some paper and something to write with from the group, so she added it to what she was already writing in the dirt. "Do you have anything to write with?" |

| Rufus: I hear that!
Lucas: Hm... Strange.. Clara: Is something wrong, Yukin? Lucas: I'm trying out my duct detector.. and it says there's a duct nearby.. Clara: Nearby? Arminas: Come to think of it, I think I've seen a duct next to just about every significant location we go to. Lily: Who cares? It's less walking for us! ------------------- Cedric: "Those with the thirst of knowledge will always have something to write with and to write on". Or that's how the media says it. Here. Cedric gently tossed a little notepad with the image of a spotted egg on the front over to Elle. He then also tossed a small box of color pencils. Cedric: Just ignore the unusual images. The Yoshenyoshi often leave reminders of themselves when I go off on my own. |

| "Couldn't we just have come straight here through a duct then?"
Elle scribbled something down on the note pad and then showed Cedric it. "Who are you really? You aren't just a kid." |

| Arminas: It definitely would've made the walk a lot better.
Lily: Yeah, well.. I don't remember what was said about the Ruins of Light. Can't go somewhere unless you know what to look for. Rufus: Who cares? Les' go! Lucas pointed in the direction of where the detector was reacting its strongest. And sure enough, there was a duct. Rufus: A'ight! Here Ah go! Lucas: Wait, Rufus, the duct might not be on-- Rufus jumped over the duct, and disappeared as soon as he cleared the duct. Lucas: Well, I guess it's on.. ---------------------- Cedric: Who am I? I am but a child, who just knows how to get information. Cedric turned around, and hopped onto a rock. He bowed down. Cedric: I am Cedric the Unseen. Cedric stood up straight, and brushed some hair out of his eyes. Cedric: If you want my last name, you will just have to wait. That's something I have yet to find out.

| "Uhh..."
Ark laughed. "Brave guy." "That's sad, you have no parents if you have no last name?" Elle wrote that down and showed Cedric, she didn't know how it was personally, but she'd seen the effects on other people. |

| Arminas shrugged.
Lily: What're we waiting for? Come on! Hole with metal leaves in it! Lily grabbed Ark's arm and pulled him into the duct. The Great Hollow was located in the center of a lake. It actually consisted of a very large pit, one that might fit several towns if stacked on one another. Water from the lake slowly flowed into the pit, most likely into an underwater resevoir. Metallic platforms with a reddish beige color were located everywhere within the Great Hollow. The shape the platforms took resembled leaves, and seemed to form a spiraling path downward. There seemed to be several creatures living within the Great Hollow, as they aimlessly walked about the platforms. Clara: So this is the Great Hollow. It lives up to its name. ------------------------------ Cedric: Yes, having parents is quite the luxury, isn't it? In any case, just because I'm nicer to women doesn't mean I'm going to play Taxi Cab Confessions. I'm sure you're quite familar with that adult tactic. Now, would you like for me to take you to the Yoshenyoshi village, or would you prefer to wait for them where the cheaper information lies? |

| Ark stood at the edge of the pad they were on.
"Give me a direction and I will clear the pad, no problem!" Ark grabbed his spear and held it to the side. "This will be easy." Elle laughed mutely. "Knowing more about you would be nice, but I would ask directly. I'm just making sure I don't offend you. You're the one that brought up not having a last name, I just don't want to assume things later on when it might matter." Elle wished she could speak, it would be so much easier. "Let's go where you want to go. I'm sure the rest will catch up, and I might as well make myself useful." |

| Cedric: I'd like to check up on the Yoshenyoshi. After that, we'll go find them. I just have to see the looks on their faces when they find out.
------------------------------- Lily: Chill out, Drenchy. First, we gotta find a way to move low enough to get to the closest path! Thomas: I've heard so much about ducts, but I've never actually went through it.. It felt.. a bit disturbing.. Arminas: Eh, you'll get used to it. Lily: Hm... I can remember a bit more about my teacher's notes... Somewhere around here... Aha! A dewstone tablet! Rufus: A dew-what? Lily pointed at the structure that seemed like a balcony that was located on the edge infront of everyone. Lily: It's a special type of stone tablet that has records of the Kingdom of Fungeria carved into it. And this is different from your normal, run-of-the-mill dewstone tablet. Arminas: How so? Lily: It's easier if I just show you. Come on! 
Lily skipped over to the pedestal that was at the edge of the balcony-like platform. |

| "What is a dewstone tablet in the first place? No one explains anything..."
Ark sighed as he put his spear back on his back. It was going to be a slow day today. Elle nodded to Cedric, writing a yes would've been a waste of time and paper. |

| Cedric: Very well then.
Cedric started walking towards the path the others took when they found the duct. Cedric: I haven't heard any information about you. Do you know of ducts? ---------------------- Lily: Oh, Drenchy, weren't you listen? It has records from the ancient Kingdom of Fungeria carved in it! Arminas: Well, you kinda said that and something else at the same time. It was kinda confusing. Lily: Nevermind that now. Come over here! Put your hands on it like when we opened the door to the ruin. Arminas, Clara, and Lucas held out glowing hands and touched the tablet. The platform shook a tiny bit, causing a bit of unsecurity amongst the group. Lily: See? This tablet acts like a switch for the machinery inside. If you don't do this first, you won't be able to go down past a certain point. Rufus: Well, I'll be. Bubbles here is actually useful. Lily: What's that supposed to mean, you stupid bandit? |

| Elle shook her head, she could only imagine that they were like ducts in buildings, but that didn't sound right.
"Yeah, I doubted her at first too, but she proved me wrong.' Ark watched as they tried to work the machinery, it could've been much easier to use, but omes were driving forces all over this world it seemed. |

| Cedric: I see.. Well, it looks like you're going to have some fun yourself.
---------------------- Lily: Well.. is everyone ready? Clara: What are we re-- Lily: Good, then here we go!
Lily smacked a button on the side of the tablet. The platform everyone was on shuddered before smoothly floating downward. After it reached a certain depth, the platform moved into one of the other platforms and connected with it. Thomas: Seems like this is where we get off. Arminas: But there's sitll a ways to go untill we get to the bottom. Lily: Don't mind that. Just think of this being the perfect time to get Omes and Shines! Lily noted at the monsters that lied ahead. They seemed a bit tougher than the rest of the monsters they saw out in the plains. The most intimidating monster had to have been the one that look like a minotaur. Amongst the minotuar were several floating beings. One of them looked like a blue flame, with bubble shaped objects floating about it. The others looked like round shields with spikes along the edges. Thomas: The path seems longer than before now. |
