I woke up slowly, still groggy. What had happened? Why had I been asleep? The voice in my head tried to answer, but I shut it out. I didn't need this right now. Somehow I was inside, though I really didn't remember walking there. Maybe someone carried me? I shrugged. I saw Yuna, Luft, Ciel, and Rain, but no Spati. I started walking forward, searching for Moonsong's aura-scent.

As I got deeper and deeper inside, the wrongness of this place started to make me sick. It was like walking through the magical equivalent of, well, a sewer.

I hoped I'd caught Moonsong's scent faintly, and started towards it, only to swear as I found myself facing a lake.
