The Energy Mask
It has been over five hours since the knights went their separate ways and Lloyd & Nya are lost. They thought they were going the right way, but then they realized the map was upside down. Lloyd was trying to lead the way, but all it was doing was making Nya frustrated.
"Lloyd can you please let me look at the map" Nya asked once again as she rode her horse down the straight path.
Lloyd shook his head, "No I'm positive that we're going the right way" The green knight assured his un patient friend. The Master of Water rolled her eyes, but was cut short when her horse stopped in her dead tracks.
Nya kicked the side of the horse gently, but River didn't budge. Lloyd turned around to see the problem and went up to the mare and petted her head, "Maybe we should take a break before we loose another horse" Lloyd said as he helped Nya down from her horse. The two set up a little camp to rest for a while and Lloyd looked over at the map without Nya noticing.
The thing that Lloyd didn't want to say was that he never read a map before, but he didn't want to make Nya more frustrated than she already was. On Nya's case though was getting worse; her head hurts either before or after the Overlord speaks to her and her body aches at random times. That might be why her horse stopped, so that the water knight didn't have to feel more pain.
Lloyd was inside the tent while Nya was outside in the cold snuggling against her dear loyal companion. Nya pulled up her sleeve to see the cut marks with black veins coming out and they were even darker than before. River nudged her wrist making the gray knight yelp in surprise, "River don't make it worse please" Nya begged.
It was unusually quiet, so Nya went to go check on Lloyd who was still in the tent. Once the princess opened the tent she saw the Master of Energy sound sleep with the map still in his hand. 'Take the map' The Overlord's voice spoke as Nya got closer to the map. She gently pulled the map out of Lloyd's hand and sat down next to him as she opened the map.
There was two x's marking the spot of the mask, the nearest one being the Energy Mask which was located somewhere in the woods behind their camp site. Nya's eyes widened and started shaking Lloyd to wake him up, "Lloyd. Lloyd! I know where the mask is" She yelled quietly as his eyes started to flutter open.
"What?" Lloyd asked as Nya showed him the map.
"The Mask of Energy is in the woods right behind us. Since your mask is energy that mean it's part of life and nature which means-" Nya was then cut off by Lloyd who finished her sentence, "I can sense the mask."
Nya smiled at the young prince as he stood up and started running to the woods, "You stay here while I get the mask!" He yelled making Nya roll her eyes.
Lloyd ran to where he could sense the most life and nature, but it didn't seem like it was on the ground. He looked up at a tree and climbed it, he climbed tree by tree until he saw a big chunk of wood with an item on top of it. He came closer to the podium to see a mask shaped like a dragon with green and golden highlights in the exterior and a snout just like an actual dragon.
The green knight quickly grabbed the mask from its resting place and nothing happened. Lloyd let of a sigh of relief, but was cut short as he felt a breath of air blown on his back. He turned around to see a big, green, dragon right in front of his eyes staring him down like there was no tomorrow. Lloyd stepped back a little and then started to run from the beast back to camp.
The dragon was fast, like Jay Walker fast and was catching up to Lloyd. The Master of Energy saw his camp and started to panic, "RUN!!!" he screamed catching Nya's attention. The Master of Water grabbed the map and got on her horse and started riding away from the falling trees. Tree's were flying out of the woods crashing into everything it came in contact with. River kept running, but the falling tree's and the dragon were catching up on them.
Lloyd had no choice but to jump out of the trees and tried to get on River. As he flung himself out of the tree's the dragon stopped making River notice that Lloyd was falling and caught him with Nya right in front of him.
"Are you alright?" Nya asked worried as check Lloyd for any injuries.
The knight in green shook his head and held up his mask for everyone to see, "I'm fine and it looks like were are one step closer to defeating the Overlord."
Nya smiled and hugged her friend in relief, "Now we need to find the Water Mask and then find the others to go to the dark island" She said.
"So where would that be?" Lloyd asked pulling out of the hug.
Nya took out the map from the satchel and showed the knight where the last mask is, "In the ocean in front of the dark island."
