I flew around the main halls of the castle, desperatly searching for Jewel. She had managed to disappear again and I was having a hard time locating her. I sighed. I had really wanted to talk to her now.....I wanted to make things right with her, so that things could get back...to the way they used to be.
I almost started crying as visions of happy memories flashed through my mind. When we were younger our lives were so carefree. My sister and I would play together under the warm summer sun while our mom and dad would look on, happily smiling. We were happy then...we had no worries....no problems...no pain....the joys of childhood were all that we knew. But now....why? Why did everthing have to be so wrong? Why did all of our happiness disappear. Why us? What did we do to deserve this kind of life? Nothing! We did NOTHING wrong! So why should we suffer for the evils that others may have commited? We shouldn't have to! I sincerely and firmly believed that out of every human and Pokemon in the world...Arctic, Jewel, Tornado, Byakko and Seiko, Flashwing, Posideon, and even Farlander.....even myself....we were the ones who deserved happiness most.

Why can't we....be happy?

<<"Crystal!">>
I turned around and saw Arctic floating towards me. The look on his face surprised me. He seemed very sincere and serious about something....
"Arctic? Was is it?"
<<"WE...need to talk, Crys...">>


Farlander:

I heard Tornado and the others mummering behind me. I could tell that they were probably talking about me...but I didn't really care right now. They had every right to wonder....yes, they could wonder. BUt they would never know the truth.
I decided that I wasn't going to let them see me like this. Even though I felt so very empty inside...I felt so alone....They would never know it.
"Well...what are we all just sitting around here for, huh?" I said finally, turning to them, my voice sincere. "Stop straring at me like a bunch of mindless Aipom and get to work. We have to figure out a way out of here. Xiaso hasn't beaten us yet."
