CHAPTER37

(Mingcheng, Tessa and Belita unite together with Dane and Noelle.)

NOELLE

You guys made it. I’m sure the Ruin guards were tough for you.

BELITA

Yeah.

MINGCHENG

It was easy for me.

BELITA

Don’t lie! You were clearly struggling.

MINGCHENG

You were 1st struggling before you knew their weakness.

DANE

Anyways, did you get the lyre?

TESSA

Right here.

(Noelle takes the lyre.)

NOELLE

It’s been so long since I had my hands on my own lyre. It’s still the same as it was 500 years ago.

MINGCHENG

It could be broken.

NOELLE

No, it’s not.

(She plays some music.)

MINGCHENG

Oh. So it’s not broken.

NOELLE

But I don’t feel any divine magic in it.

MINGCHENG

What do you mean by that?

NOELLE

The Lyre is supposed to have divine magic. But it looks like it doesn’t have any magic at all.

TESSA

Without magic… it’s just an ordinary Lyre.

BELITA

Just great. How are we supposed to stop the Dark mages from using Dark magic to break the seals?
