Chapter 18: The Valley of Luxem

The next morning the Visitors woke up and Eriol and Namiele we're feeling much better now.. Unaware of the events that happened last night....

Lucid: Yawn.. Morning guys...
Lilith: Morning Lucid...
Kirnale: Yeah.. Morning...
Lucid: Hey Eriol, Namiele: are you alright?
Eriol: Yeah.. Kind of.. The strong magical energy is gone though...
Namiele: Yeah..... It's no longer feeling it's presence...
Lucid: Say? Where's Maru and Moro?

Maru and Moro are already awake at that time, goofing off with sugar somewhere in the valley...

Sugar: Wow! The valley of luxem is very distinct!
Maru: Too bad it's just a long strech of desert...
Moro: Few signs of life either...
Sugar: What do you mean by few signs of life? Look! there's a cactus, right?
Maru: Cacti are cacti... Still no creatures to fight... Only thing here are bees and some giants ants....
Moro: Look! Pumpkins!

Soon, some pumpkins came out of some rocks.... But they are aggressive.. And started attacking the threesome...

Maru: OMG.. We've gotta run!
Moro: Waaaaaaah!!!!
Sugar: I'll try to stop them with my magic! WAFFO!

But instead of stopping them, Sugar's magic just multiplied the pumpkins...

Sugar: Waaaaah.. It failed again....
Maru: Great.. We've got dozens of Pumpkins chasing us!
Moro: Hurry back to camp!!!!!
Maru: Sugar... you shouldn't have used yer magic...
Sugar: Sorry... Oh no we're trapped!!!

Soon, they are now surrounded by pumpkins.... There are too many pumpkins for them to handle....

Moro: Oh no.. we're doomed!
Maru: Well, this is the end...
Elysia: Who says it is the end?

Out of the blue, Elysia came out and meteors started to fall all over the place... While Elysia was destroying much of the pumpkin army.. Larg came out and aided the 3....

Larg: Are you okay?
Moro: Yes... And you're so cute!!!
Maru: Yes! Very cute!
Sugar: Wow!!!! Cute!!!
Larg: hehe... Puu!
Elysia: Enough of that, I need some help here!!!!
All: Right!

soon, they are able to exterminate the pumpkin army... Elysia turned to them to assess the situation...

Elysia: There are signs of the devil pest within those pumpkins...
Sugar: Is that why my magic failed on them?
Elysia: Probably... Also, there's a large pumpkin that is guarding the entrance to the northern plains...
Moro: What should we do?
Maru: Yeah.. What?
Elysia: Tell your leader to fight the pumpkin.. He's also the source of the devil pest in this area... But beware, he might have some pomics, bees and pumpkins under his sway....
Sugar: Alright...
Elysia: Now go! Time is not on your side!

And so, they parted ways for now... And Maru, Moro and Sugar rushed to the camp.....
