Tyr finally reaches Nineth Immortal, she looks at him in that way. The way two people who love each other look at another. In his mind, he transposes her Pink hair and grey eyes onto the Arkenian silhouette. Tyr says, "Is everything alright?" He speaks gently in the fire of Volcano.
Nineth Immortal says, "Will you help me?" She has just received a quest. To clear the Komodo Dungeon of Servant of the Light.
Tyr agrees he never did the main quest of Oydessy in his past life. Since by then he was involved with Aria and the War of Eternity. He knows a few branch quests that all lead to the main quest. The return of the god Light is one of the many that do.
Nineth Immortal says, " Good then together!" She holds his hand and growls at the Dragon Priest, "I accept your task."

Rena says, "Can we leave now?" Rena, Lucinda and Amalya are all suffering. Besides the obvious heat making them incredibly sweaty and stinky. There is also a hint of smoke coming off them. Tyr looks at Nineth Immortal she is the one who brought them here. She should be the one who sends them back.
Nineth Immortal growls the Song of travels. A high pitch growls that's more of a loud hum. A faint fire sweeps across the Volcano. The flames of distance crumble as flailing into the dungeon.
Nineth Immortal simmers down grabbing the pendent they had left behind. Several messages come in the only Tyr responds to is Medium Bunz. The Dungeon looks worse than when they first arrived. As if it has been abandoned for a long time. There is crusted dust with new footsteps that are definitely not theirs.
Lucinda falls to her knees, the burning sensation intensifies. She lifts up her Spirit armour which vanishes as she looks at what is happing in her arm. In her stats bar, there is a new icon that is seven teeth of a dragon. The teeth look like fire. Her flesh looks charred and cracked and it is growing.

Rena says, "what's happening to us?" The charring appears on her back first. She can handle the pain. It hurts her more that her sisters are suffering especially Amalya.
Tyr says, "It's the effect of the Temple, it must have something to do with you'll spirit transformations. Do you ll remember the name of the Wraith lord who granted you those beast spirits. From his memories, Tyr knows Ghoulification of the Spirit is not dissimilar to a curse like Lycanthropthy. Being first an affliction of the spirit it can be cured within a week. The cure like all cures can never repair the spirit. Leaving whatever changes have occurred behind. It does though remove the taint on the spirit that is causing the affliction.
Amalya through gritted teeth says, "Why is his name important." Of course, Tyr can't just say he has a working knowledge of the Underverse leadership down to famous Wraith Lords.
Tyr says, "So that we know to keep an eye out. A copy of 'The book of Mevelonce' that is found in the local library of Pike. Has a chapter of Underverse lord and how anything they give is repaired by tearing the soul. We might need that back someday." It's the only thing he could think of on his feet.
Lucinda says, " his name is Baylor Ostarson, Bonelord, a true master of unlife." Tyr nods of course he has to play it off that the Wraith who has a piece of their souls. Is A prince of the Underverse.
Tyr says, "Okay I will send to the guild if we find we will kill him or something those guys are always up for a deal." He is of course talking out of arse killing a Prince of the Underverse is the same as poking a hungry bear.
Rena says, "That is for later what about now."
Tyr says, "I don't know I did read about a disease that all kids get around ten in Lugiria because of some ancient curse. These kids are cured inside temples so maybe there might be something similar." He has to make it sound like a simple illness because in the book it is also described as such. Only he knows the truth of Snallygaster syndrome.
Nineth Immortal says, "We have to move on quick we are on the clock."
Lucinda says, 'We can't fight like this we are basically level fives."
Tyr says, "Still there is a way. That only you three can use."
Amalya says, "how is that?" Tyr has a look on his that fills her with some confidence.
Tyr says, "We will use switching the switching method that was popular in the alpha."
Rena says, "You follow historical fiction?" Only the most detected fanboys follow historical fiction. Some games have legacies longer than Oydessy like Commander of the Supremes, where you control a group of singing robots. It was created before VRMMORPGS became famous. Only a few people can tell you the origins of these kinds of games.
Tyr says, "Styx make me and SKY Ocean Hunter watch the historical shorts with him. he says it gives things to talk about." Raul has always had an interest in the past. Given his home life, it makes sense.
Nineth Immortal says, "Tell us about this switching method." She gets a bit closer to him. He stands with the tip of his in the ground. He looks so imposing and warm it makes her feel warm.
Tyr says, "IF we treat the girls as one player and have them fight as hard as they can. Then when one is low on health is tapped out on mana the other will switch in."
Amalya says, "It can't be that simple."
Tyr says, "Of course your right. If it were simple all guardians would be doing. Switching requires a lot of timing and skill usage. At least it will be simple because you are all Spirit guardians. " As new players the advantage. COmes from having similar skills meaning that they have already know the limits of their skills. Cooldown and costs. They just have to work together now.
Nineth Immortal says, "Even if we do that are you saying that you alone have enough o compensate for all four of us. Or have you forgotten my little weapon problem?"
Tyr says, "this is temporary, this things name is called name is called return to owner." Tyr removes his own forearm crossbow. It is the only thing made by Lord Nogu he has that is bound to him. The same SKY Ocean Hunter has that magic shield magic gear and Styx has his secondary strike for arm magic repeater. Though of course, Frey is wearing Styxs' repeater. Tyr hardly uses it because it has a experience requirement that he is not yet willing to pay.
Nineth Immortal, "that little piece of wood probably won't even work properly."
Tyr says, "Size is not the only thing that matters alright." Rena burst out laughing in her mind Nineth Immortal and Tyr are speaking about Tyrs' third leg. Lucinda and Amalya catch soon after but restrain themselves a little embarrassed by Rena. The two duelling lovers don't catch it this time as they continue to argue on the merits of switching.
Tyr goes over the basics the girls will have to work together, given their diminished power, there is little to no room. Any Mistakes will cost them their lives in the deeper parts of the dungeon. For now, at least they are only going fight Lizardmen.
The team prepares them, for this round Tyr and Nineth are supporting to prevent any deaths.
---Message from Styx to Tyr---
/Styx - Plan shock and is a go!
/Tyr - Are you and SKY Ocean Hunter sure about this it will bring us a lot of jealous eyes.
/Styx - It's the only way we will survive.

Nineth immortal directs them towards the part of her mission. The ten Dragon God eggs are marked on her map. So it is just a case of getting them away from the monster guarding them. The dusty stone path leads to series of intricate tunnels. lucky for them it is still wide enough o practice the basic switching method.
Amalya is in the lead she asked the most question and seems to have the best idea of how it works. Tyr was taught this method by Aria. It is how all three-man teams operate. Even magic-based classes have to learn how to be on the frontline.
With a plan of action planned the team comes across a new type of enemy. The monster Is a reptilian male with his scales. Not like the Lizardmen who are Lizards walking on two feet. This is a human with rough scales a tail. His eyes have no pupils and his sword is swinging towards Rena...
