BlackRose noticed that she was being choked yet again. She didn't do anything, did she? I mean, the worst she did was swing her sword around. She took the damage, but of course, as if she had any choice. She looked around, searching diligently to find any clue or hint that she could get her hand on. The best bet she had was the clock. Promising herself that this would be the right answer, she once again looked at it, this time, searching a deeper meaning in the picture.
A sun on the western half and a moon on the eastern. She went through all that she had learned about the sun in astrology. The sun rises on the east, sets on the west. So if this sun is on the west in a backwards world, it would be....12! Of course. Twilight at six, but in an opposite world, twilight at 12. It would also explain why there was a 12 and a 6 at the start of the riddle. Sometimes it payed to take astrology just for the love of it.
She moved the hand to twelve, hearing a chime noise. YES! She jumped up in real life, in happiness. This dungeon was going to be harder than she thought. She received a necklace, symbolizing the sun and put it on, no questions asked. She liked it and she was always fond of the day, being the happier, more eventful time. She had always been through things in the day, not in the night, sometimes having days that are both eventful and ironic, or many other feature combinations.
The sun.... yellow. She hated the color yellow.

The room was then gone for the two as they were now in the same room. It was dim lilted by a single candle. Syaoran walked up to a table that seems to be wanting something. He turned around to noticed that Blackrose was here. His eyes reflected her and smiled happy that she was back but right now they still have something to solve.
Placing down the items that he had, a book and a necklace into the slotted sight he noticed something on the map.The rest of the dungeons were gone, did that meant that there weren't 10 riddles but only six? Wow what a great trick. Whoever created this dungeon must be a mastermind for being able trick someone like that with fake dungeons.
Then slowly he turned towards the edge punisher that was his partner. " Your turn " he said as he stepped away to let her place her items. He knew that the boss must almost be here so he got ready by looking around and trying to figure out what kind it would be from all of the dungeons so far. Maybe if they were lucky it would be that egg that she got.

As the room with the dragon disappeared, a candle-lit room appeared. BlackRose, not being the most observant one, did not see why this happened. She then turned, noticing Syaoran-san. She smiled and waved hello, then giving an apologetic look for hurting them with her wrong answer. She ran up to him, noticing the table in the middle of the room for the first time. It seemed that she was supposed to put in the items that she had gotten, the egg and the sun necklace. There were specific slots for each item.
Syaoran-san already walked up to it, most likely realizing what he had to do. He put his items in the corresponding spot. She wanted to apologize in words to him, so she said "Syaoran-san, I'm sorry for getting it wrong. Gomen, gomen, gomen!" She was really sincere about this, as she was always the kind one, apologizing for everything. She didn't think she was annoying like that, but many others probably thought so. She stood there for a second until she heard a voice.
"Your turn "
BlackRose nodded at him, agreeing. She walked up to the table, getting ready to give up the egg and necklace. She didn't care about giving up the egg, but she really liked the necklace. She didn't want to give it up. It was how she remembered the journey, but knowing that she had to, she took it off. She then placed the items into the correct slots, smiling. She waited for something anything to happen.
BlackRose, now curious, wondered if she touched the candle fire, if her character would lose any hit points. She was so curious, she decided to try it. Her hand stuck out, but once right in front of it, she pulled back. She was worried that the place had some strange effect or something. She didn't want to have anything happen to BlackRose.

When Blackrose placed the items into the corresponding parts a strange tablet replaced all of the items. It was easy to tell that it was old maybe about as old as the dragons. Luckily for the two of them there were no more riddles, in stead there were questions not about trivial stuff or math questions. It seems more to be an inline questions well actually it was just one question with many answers. ' Those who come here want something whether it be money, weapon or magic. In this temple there is only two choices, money or magic. If thou pick money then thou shall get 100 but if thou pick magic than thou get to learn one magic skill. 'Skimming over the tablet Syaoran knew what he wanted. Sure the money sounded good but he needed some magic to use. He didn't want healing magic though as he prefer fire magic. Looking around he knew that he could only pick on magic so he had to think this through as he didn't want to pick a stupid magic that would end up to be worthless. Also he had to make sure that the magic doesn't take too much mp. What should he pick? The blade brandier was clueless. Having an idea he was about to answer but then an earthquake started to happen. What was going on:? He didn't pick any answer so how come something was happening. Than in front of the two was the sapphire dragon standing in front of them. It's crystal blue eyes reflecting on each one of them. It claws were about as big as Syaoran's sword meanwhile the fangs were as big as Blackrose. Quickly it charged at the two and tried to scratch one of them. Syaoran was able to dodge it because of his speed. Landing on the dragon he took out his sword and dived down hard onto it. Maybe if he was lucky a critical hit might happen. No critical hit happened at all. Instead a hit point of zero appeared indicating that there were no damage to it at all. - Sapphire Dragon

As the voice spoke, she knew that this would not be a trivial question like before. It wouldn't be logic either. It was just an opinion question. Well, that would be easy then, as she had already decided between money or magic. Sure she liked magic, but it just wasn't her style. She ran more along the lines of power, and since her character was not even close to being a magic user, she didn't want to choose something she knew she would suck at. She had decided on money, as she currently needed it. She wanted to buy some weapons for herself, maybe some armor. She decided she would start fighting again. Her first time fighting after making this decision? NOW! As she saw that the Sapphire Dragon came up. BlackRose panicked, as she did not battle much. It was good that she just recently leveled up though. She liked to battle, but she was not very good at it. She didn't like to be caught up in things. She looked at the dragon, then Syaoran-san, not knowing what to do. She ran, trying to avoid the dragon's attack. She saw that Syaoran evaded it well, but was about to get hit. Then, Syaoran attacked the dragon. Using the moment, she attacked it as well. Nothing. She started to worry about whether this enemy could be defeated or not. Maybe this was about finding the right way to attack or the vulnerable spot. Or maybe it was an enemy that could only be defeated with magic. If that were the case, then she would come to no use at all in this battle. She looked around, finding anything that gave her a clue on how to defeat this monster. Like how she made no damage, nothing. This was useless. She knew that she wouldn't be able to help in this dungeon. It was obvious to her, why couldn't Syaoran-san see it? Now, they would both have to pay for her mistakes. Great, this was the best day ever. - Sapphire Dragon

Quickly Syaoran jumped away from it to land on the ground. Great what was he going to do now? Having no clue he thought about trying a skill move. Dashing up to the enemy with shadow images behind him indicating that he was using a skill. Quickly he slashed diagonally, on both sides, up, down and left to right. White slashes were carved onto the dragon as he slowly landed. It was part of the skill and was what made it special because only his class can do it. The orb on the sword reflected on the marks that was carved. Soon though it vanished and he didn't do any damage to it at all. Quickly he turned around his eyes in real life wide. What he used a skill and that didn't do anything either. Gritting his teeth a little he jumped away from it making some distance for him to think. Was magic was what that was needed or was it fire because this dragon was sapphire? Was it possible for this boss to be a physical tolerance boss meaning that there was no way to kill it? Looking around he wondered what he should do. Then he noticed the necklaces. His eyes widen when did they get there? With a grin on his face he quickly dashed over sliding to get both of them. He couldn't get them out at all though. The dragon then whipped it's tails to try to get the two of them. Syaoran didn't notice it and got hit with the tail sending him fall away from the dragon. A red 30 appeared above him indicating how much hp he had just lost. - Sapphire Dragon

BlackRose watched for a second, knowing that Syaoran's skill would hurt it. Then, seeing the zero that appeared above the sapphire dragon, was very amazed. It was a skill, wouldn't it have done anything to the dragon?! Even one and she'd be happy! Well, not really, but it would be better than zero. She didn't like this battle at all. She went up to the dragon, attacking it with a simple strike, taking more time than that of a normal attack of course because she was slower. She looked away for one second, checking on Syaoran, and the next thing she knew, she was hit. The dragon had initiated an attack. It was a scratch. She had lost 20 hit points. The attack seemed to be aimed at her only though. Did this dragon have something against her or what? If so then that is just mean. The edge punisher's attack had done zero. What was with this dragon? Did she need to jump off a cliff for this thing to die, because if so then she would log out right now.... well, if she could then she would log out. Then, she looked at Syaoran. He seemed to be going for something. Something.... she looked closer, it was the necklaces. How would that help? And when did those get there? She was so confused and clueless. She then saw that he couldn't get them out and was struck by the tail of the dragon. She was able to avoid it, not being in range of the tail in the first place. Right after the dragon completed its tail whip, BlackRose ran to the dragon. This time, she tried a skill. It was just three hits, due to the speed of an edge punisher. She didn't do anything. It was her strongest skill too, as she found out by accident once. She was intrigued by how the dragon worked, but hated the fact that she was losing so bad to it. She ran away, not wanting to get hit by any of the dragon's attacks. She looked at her hp and sp bar. She was happy to see it wasn't that bad. - Sapphire Dragon
