"The sword isn't there." Kalas said for the umpteenth time. The group had just come back from Capella, and were explaining why it was they didn't have the sword of the heavens.

"And you're sure about this?" The great Kamroh asked, yet again.

"YES" Kalas screamed, although was loudly thinking, "Yes you stupid fuck! Who'd you have to bone to become head of the village!" followed by a barrage of swearing. Kamroh looked down in thought, when a young messenger boy came running in.

"Great Kamroh! Some villagers saw Krumly take the sword of the heavens up to the top of Zozma tower to give as an offering to Malpercio!" The young boy screamed once he caught his breath. There was a collective gasp around the room.

"Wait…how does one know he's going to give it to Malpercio as a offering just by seeing him walk to this tower?" Gibari asked. Everyone gave him a blank look.

"I suppose he told them beforehand…and someone overheard…" Lyude started.

"WHO CARES? " Kalas interjected and grabbed the young boy. "Where's Zozma tower?" He screamed as he shook the poor boy like a rag doll.

"No, my precious spine! It's past the second village and beside the port!" He cried. Kalas abruptly dropped the boy and charged out the door. The others quickly ran after him.

"Where's he at!" Kalas screamed upon entering the tower, the tower master covering his ears and wincing. Kalas was freaking loud when he was angry.

"Whoa! Settle down spaz, he just went up. I was gonna stop him, but decided not to get stabbed in the face with his shiny sword." He began, "I will however, instruct you on how to get to the top." Kalas blankly stared at the man.

"Uh, I think I'm good. Thanks anyway though." He said. Mizuti and the tower master shook their heads.

"Not that easy Kalas! You be needing to complete puzzles which make moving yellow flashy blocks activate." Mizuti explained. Kalas stared at her.

"Oh…kay…why?" He asked.

"Safety precaution." The tower master said.

"From like what…keeping people from jumping off the top?" Kalas asked jokingly. There was an awkward silence for about two minutes. And believe it or not, two minutes is a lot of awkward.

"…Sure. Anyway, point is you don't understand the ways of the tower and I am willing to teach you. Are you ready to learn?" the master asked Kalas.

"I, uh…guess so." He said. The tower master nodded in approval.

"Okay, so first thing you have to do is light the torch. You can't move the blocks unless the torch is lit. If the flame goes out, the blocks you moved will go back to their initial positions. Now, go ahead and try lighting the torch." Kalas furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance.

"Why don't you do it, you're closer." He growled.

"What? Because I don't feel like it. I'm the tower master, do as I say or I won't give you access to my fire!" The master shouted. Kalas started to whine, then grumbled over to the lamp and lit it. The room suddenly went from a dull grey to a warm brown as the light from the lamp stretched over the room. The red block sitting in the middle was shining with more lustre.

"Okay good, take more of that fire, you're gonna need it for the other couple of levels…bluenette, stop your whining. Anyway, the red blocks are to be pushed into the shiny green voids in the floor. Upon doing so, it will trigger a reaction and something will happen…no bluenette, that's not a gay joke. Stop being a perv and give it a try…STOP LAUGHING!" The tower master watched as Kalas tried to push the red block into the green void, but instead fell against the block laughing his ass off, then fell over onto the floor. Eventually Lyude went over and did the deed himself, which only made Kalas laugh harder.

"Okay…good, now watch." The room shined red, and then blocks came out of the wall, creating a stairway leading up to the elevator.

"Now then, aside from the red blocks there are also blue blocks and yellow blocks. Mizuti already explained the function of the yellow blocks, so all that's left is the blue blocks. The blue blocks only function is to be pushed into the wall…no this is not another gay joke bluenette, I'm going to stop talking to you." Kalas made a disappointed sound. " Yeah…go ahead and try it redhead." Lyude walked over to the blue block in the wall and pushed hard until it was as far in as it would go. Kalas started to laugh but suddenly stopped. A red light flashed and the yellow block activated. Despite the obvious success, the tower master frowned.

"Oh I get it. It's funny when red pushes into the void but it's not funny when red pushes blue into the wall. HA! Anyway I've told you all you need to know so get lost." He said, and then turned away to go sit against the wall. Kalas gaped at the tower master before hurriedly climbing up the newly created stairs, hiding his growing blush of embarrassment. The others did the same, and pushed past him to get to the yellow block. Mizuti was just about to get on to the block herself, but stopped when she heard Kalas begin to speak.

"Hey tower master! I have one more question to ask you." He shouted down. The master looked up.

"Oh this better be good. What do you want?" He shouted back.

"Well, if Krumly's already been through here, why aren't the puzzles already complete?" Kalas asked. The tower master was silent, momentarily lost for words. Mizuti charged at Kalas.

"YOU MUST NOT BE QUESTIONING THE WISDOM OF THE TOWER! FEEL THE WRATH OF THE GREAT MIZUTI!"

"What the- AHHH OH GOD!" Kalas screamed as both he and Mizuti went down. Two minutes later they both climbed onto the yellow block, Kalas sporting a nasty chakram wound under his left eye.
