Chapter 13 --- A Curious Interlude >

            The group was standing on a flat plain of what might have been blue stone.  All of the ground was carved with lines and round bumps.  The guys were spread out in an area of the stone that glowed slightly.  Behind Tydus, Auron, Wakka, Lulu, Yuna, and Kimahri stretched long lines that glowed in various bright colors.  Rikku was just a small patch of green.  Kimahri’s dark blue line was overlapping Tydus’s light blue one.

            “Hey, Kimahri!  You’re cramping my style!” Tydus called to him.  He saw Kimahri shrug in the dim light.

            Lulu was looking at the round bumps in the stone.  Ack!  Ultima is surrounded by ungodly amounts of Level 4 Locks!  And what‘s it doing in Kimahri‘s section?”

            “Ha!” said Yuna, “Holy’s just sitting out there at the end of my path!”  She blew raspberries at Lulu.

            “I want my Zombie Attack,” Auron whined, “By the time I reach it everything will be immune to it.”

            “I want waffles!” Tydus said brightly, “I have spoken, so shall it be!”  He clapped his hands and raised them again.  The rest of the group stared.  A plate with several fluffy Belgium waffles covered in sweet syrup and topped with a fat slab of butter suddenly appeared in front of Tydus.

            “Woot!” he said, and started eating.

            “I want to know how he does that,” mumbled Yuna to the rest.

            “What have I gotten myself into,” Rikku said wonderingly.
