"You're saying that on this island, there's a temple that can boost my energy?"

"Yes, but it won't be completely unguarded. A fearsome deity called the Overlord and his stone army lay there, waiting for whoever finds the Dark Island. They can only be destroyed by Golden power, which only you can obtain. With it you'll be unstoppable!"

"Golden power huh? Is that like the gold tornado you do?"

"That would be my creation power, of course I'm much too old to use it now, but you can wield the might of it."

Grinning, Lloyd got out of his throne and called for his droids. "We'll be going to the Dark Island right away! So make sure no snake comes above ground."

"But your highness, how do you expect to find the island? It's not on any map, nor has anyone ever found it." A droid asked.

"Maybe not you, but there is someone I know who can find it. The master of Lightning, as well as captain of the Destiny's Bounty. He'll be honoured to serve the Jade Prince." Wu smirked. "I'll handle everything, you just go pack, perhaps have something to drink too?"

With another beer in hand, Lloyd chugged it all down in an instant. "The snakes will fall, along with anyone who dares to side with them."

"Yes, after what they did to your poor mother and father. They may have been fooled, but not us. We know the Serpentine are evil."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But back underground, the Serpentine knew what really happened that day. "Sssso, Wu milked the Great Devourer'sssss venom. And yet he thinkssssssss he can frame usssss? The nerve of that old man!"

"The news is a shock to us all Skales, but of course they wouldn't believe a snake. It's the mantra of those elementals, they only take Wu's words no matter what sort of lies he spews out... If they had won the war, there's no doubt they'd have locked us in tombs to feast on our own kind."

Pythor had just informed the other Serpentine generals about what had happened earler, how it was none other than the elderly advisor to the prince who murdered his own brother. The five of them all met in their underground library while their tribes hid away in their little villages.

"They only lissssten to him becausssse he'sssss the child of the Firssssst Sssspinjitssssu Masssster." Acidacus explained. "But, what if one were ressssssurect the older sssssson?"

"What are-"

"You saying?"

Smirking at the two headed Fangtom, the Venomari general slithered over to a nearby bookshelf, taking an old scroll out of it. "Thisssss here tellsssss of a resssurection ssssspell. But it requiressssss a couple ssssstepsssss."

"Steps?"

"A hair from the living relativessssss, at the Temple of Resssssurection, with the three Dragon Massssksssss."

This got the attention of the former princess, she felt it would have been safer if she hid underground. "Temple of Resurrection? But that's right behind the palace, it's heavily guarded no doubt."

"Unlesssss we provide a diverssssion. Ssskalessss, Fangtom, Sssskalidor and I will go above ground, attracting thosssse brutessss. While you get there asssssss quickly asssss possssssible."

"Right, but what about those.. What you call them, Dragon Masks?"

"Ah yes, the masks of Acceptance, Faith and Love. The first of which is just under the center of the city, but the latter two still have yet to be discovered."

"Well if they are real, they could be the ticket to reclaiming my throne and knocking some sense into Lloyd."
