Guided Tour

He gave a slight chuckle, ceasing his manipulation. "Heh, my apologies. Anyhow, where to?"

"You're forgiven. And hmm... I think we should visit the Sun's Flame. I'll keep the temperature constant for you inside that sphere of wind... Just tell me if you get too cold." She laughed, then they headed out over the wastelands of the portal. "Spawns of flames live here. They are not always so friendly." Remarked Sadako as a few fire creatures seemed to rise above the magma to look curiously at the two flying figures. One let out a savage roar, and a stream of fire headed towards them. Sadako sighed, moved both herself and T-Zero out of the way, and they continued on over the hellish wasteland.

"Too cold? That's a riot.." He observed this new area, and he was immensely glad that his sphere was cooled. He wouldn't last two seconds just standing here, unless.. He tried forming a small, dense cube of his crystal-ice, being sure to freeze it in such a manner to preserve it. It fell on one of the fire creatures, which reeled back in pain from the cold. The ice cube hadn't melted a bit. Smiling, he lookd back at Sadako. "Fascinating places.. what are they all for anyway?"

"There's quite a few more to explore, but I'll let you discover them on your own. They are so that you can practice against an enemy you can kill. Also, if you have a soul partner, you can collect the souls for your partner." They drifted onwards, leaving the wastelands behind. The village soon came in sight, but Sadako turned so they were heading off to the Labyrinth.

"Soul Partner, eh.." He'd encountered only one of these before, and figured now was the best time to ask. "What exactly is a soul partner.. weapon, or whatever you call it?"

Sadako laughed, "A soul partner is like any other being. The only difference is that your soul, and the soul of your weapon are on the same wavelength. It's almost as if you share a soul." She unsheathed Mamoru (Her Katana) and he instantly transformed to his human appearance, manipulating the wind so he could stay at their level.
"T-Zero, this is my Soul Weapon, Mamoru. Mamoru, this is my friend, T-Zero."
"Nice to meet you, T-Zero." Said Mamoru, bowing slightly.

"Ah.. I see." He gave the transformed blade no greeting; she was still just another stranger to him. "How does one.. find such a partner then?" He only addressed Sadako.

"Hmm... I don't quite know. Mamoru found me."

He still didn't quite understand, but just decided to go with it. He'd figure something out regarding these Soul Partners eventually anyway.. Yet now he paid attention to the massive building they were now approaching. "And what have we here.."

"This is the Labyrinth. My husband's home." Sadako blushed a bit from using Maze's new title, but she simply looked to the castle-like building with the maze sprawling below as if nothing was odd. "I do hope that barrier he put up still isn't in place.... I don't feel like running into an invisible wall.... ><"

He looks on, fascinated at the elaborate maze in the building. "So what exactly is the design for? Does the guy just like mazes?"

"I'm not quite sure... I think he just likes the idea. I guess it could have some purpose for security as well. Would you like to go in for a closer look, or would you like to see the home of the other Kage?"

"Wherever you wish.." He was actually getting quite bored and motion-sick from the whole tour, but didn't want to be as rude to her as he would a normal person. Funny, how such a connection to a person could be made so soon..

"Alright, well, my wings are actually tiring quite quickly, so we'll go off to see Khrona's Pit os Havoc, then we'll visit the home of Reia and myself, the Twilight palace." She angled her wings slightly, and headed off to the Pit of Havoc. As they got closer, T-Zero would begin to feel the effects of the insanity that practically spilled from the place.

"This is.. different." He gathered the insane energy, yet found himself soon overwhelmed by it. MHs mind did its best to flush it out, but it was definitely taxing on his own levels. "What sort of man is Khrona, anyhow.."

"Well, at the moment, the anti-Insanity wavelength has returned his sanity to him, if only for a short time. He's also a dear friend of mine. Um, if you start to feel the effects of the wavelength, just tell me... Khrona's teaching me of the Anti-Insanity Wavelength."

He yawned; partially tired from rejecting the wavelength. "Let's just move elsewhere.. this place is.. odd."

"Alright then. It's off to the Twilight palace, then." Sadako smiled, then the both quickly traveled away from the pit. Gaining altitude, they soared above the village until they reached the castle. Sadako landed on her balcony, the one that led to her room (Don't get any ideas, it's the only real place you can land.... XD). She dispelled the ice, wind and shadow 'bubble' and let T-Zero regain his bearings and what not. "Here we are"

T immediately went to his knees on the ground, having been standing suspended in the air for so long. He was thankful just to be on solid ground by now.. Shortly after he regained himself, he began looking around, first at the doorways to Sadako's room and then at the rest of the palace, marveling at its beauty. "Lovely.." he looked back at her now, curiosity in his eyes. "Might we have a look around?"

"Of course. Follow me" She said with a warm smile, then walked into her room, "This is my room. The door to the left is the library, while the one we're going through is sort of like an display room for all the weapons I hardly use..." She said as they walked through the room.
