The door melted away, revealing the room beyond.

It was circular, about ten feet in diameter, copper in color- free of oxidation. Lining the walls were numerous strange devices, many of which looked like swords or other weaponry.

In the center, a fountain sprayed a clear, water-like fluid into the air. Mostly water-like. Despite its high arc, not a drop seemed to be spilling onto the floor.

The air was silent.

"Okay... but there's no point stalling when we don't know what might happen, so we can't prepare." Melody sighed. "Here, I'll pull out my sword so if something starts attacking, I'll be ready to fight it. Okay?"

The amulet pulsed. Pulsed.

Ellis felt a strong compulsion to put it on.

He slung it back around his neck without thinking, the movements making themselves without his permission.

Much better.

...Hey. Wait, I--

Quiet.

I glance at the Origin. "Glad we're here. Now where're the nasty monsters we have to kill?"

Shadow deepened, and Corundum appeared.

"Oh, hey." I smile and turn my head to the side, hands pushed into my pockets. "Long time no see."

"...I guess 'My Lord' works, but make it a little less cheesy than that." I grin, turning my gaze to the squid. "Ellis... would you like to know what he's thinking right now?"

Let.

Me.

Out.

Gerald rolled his tentacles threateningly. He could hear it.

"Who are you?" he demanded.

"Melody!" Cupra called. "The sword!"

"Uuuu-uugh." I roll my eyes, then close them. "Here, henchie. Let's blow this joint. Or... something. I don't know these characters' slang very well. Anyways...

"Let's just...

"Remove..."

That's better! I grin and look around me, then back at Corundum. "No need to hang out in that Narration anymore."

Melody quickly drew her very large sword. "Right!" She paused. "Wait. Ellis!?"
