Gavin had been walking down the hallway he had entered from the Sphinx's room for a few minutes, and he was getting a little bored.

He looked down at the sisters snuggled up against his stomach, and examined them more closely.

One of them had an orange spot on top of her head, while the other didn't. He realized then that he hadn't named them.

"Girls," he said. "I want to talk to you about something."

They looked up at him as he continued to speak, their large eyes looking at him.

"I was wanting to name you, if that's ok."

They looked at each other and then back at him, nodding their heads. They were fine with being named.

"Great!! Well, you (pointing at the one with an orange spot) are going to be Kyu, and you will be called Lea. Are those names acceptable?" They nodded their heads excitedly at this.

"Excellent!! Now lets see where that 'heart' is."

A few minutes later, they found themselves in front of another large door. Glowing words were engraved on it.

In this chamber lies the heart of the Temple,
an artifact that will help you find your true love,
and change their form to be together.
Give respect, and it will respect you.
Disrespect, and it will hurt you.

Gavin looked at the sisters with surprise on his face.

"Wow! Who knew the heart was that important." Kyu and Lea nodded in agreement. "But, it's the only way we can get out of here. So, here we go."

With that, he touched the door, causing it to slide down.

As it did so, they were allowed to see the room beyond it. It was a simple room, with some windows and a pedestal in the middle.

Gavin walked in, and started heading towards the pedestal. As he did so, he couldn't help but notice that there were at least three more doors leading to this room, and he wondered where they led to.

When he reached the pedestal, he was able to see the heart.

It was beautiful!!.

Shaped like the Crystal Heart, it glowed a soft orange as it sat on a velvet pillow. It looked as if it was made of some orange crystal.

"Wow!! The heart of the Temple," he whispered in awe.

Suddenly, glowing words appeared in front of the heart.

One final test you must take,
Before you can make your escape.
This heart is full of unimaginable power
If you take it, what will you do with this power
Your heart will give you the truth to say
So say it and receive your gifts right away"

Gavin read that, and stood there, thinking about what had been written. He needed to answer truthfully, and he would get what he deserved from whatever he said.

'Alright Gavin, you can do it,' he thought. Taking a deep breath, he spoke.

"Honestly, if I had unimaginable power in my world, I probably would have been a bastard. I would have wanted to rule the world. Here though, I would want to be judged, and helped with this power. To control it. In this world, I have friends. Actual friends who will help me when I need them. Back home, I didn't have any friends like that. But here, I have friends who give me guidance. Friends who helped me out when I first arrive on this world, scared and alone. Heck!! Even now I'm still lonely!! I haven't found love, nor do I ever think I will. But I want to be able to help others out. I know I'm not worthy to have this power. I'm just a human that ended up in a different world. That's all I am and that's all I can say. It's up to you to decide what happens now." Having finished his speech, he stood there, and closed his eyes, waiting to be punished for not being worthy for the heart.

After several seconds, he felt something tap his head, confusing him. Opening his eyes to see what was going on, he saw that the heart of the Temple was floating in front of him!!?? He gasped, having not expected this to happen. Glowing words appeared in the air above the heart.

You have spoken the truth, and we have seen your thoughts
Nothing has been kept from us, we have seen all you have done and want to do.
You spoke the truth when you said you would have been a bastard with the power in your world.
But in this world, you would not because your friends would help you, like they have since you arrived on this world.
Because of the truth you spoke, and the humility you showed,
We bestow the heart of the Temple upon you, Gavin Woodring
Use it well, and remember to ask your friends for guidance
And love your soulmates with all your heart.
We are the makers of the heart, able to rest in peace now that it has been bestowed.
Farewell

With that, the glowing words faded into nothingness, and the heart of the Temple floated over to Gavin, who reached out with his hand to take it.

As soon as he took it, he felt himself let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Suddenly, the heart started to glow, causing him to cover his eyes from the light. The glowing soon stopped, allowing him to uncover his eyes, and look at the heart again.

He gasped, his eyes widening in surprise.

It had changed form!!

Now it was a gold crown with small orange crystal hearts all around it.

With crown in hand, he turned around to let the girls out so he could talk with them and show them the crown, but stopped moving once he did so.

They weren't alone.
