Into the Stars

[Ricia]

"All this excitement is making me excited." Leo said almost fidgeting next to Kasu happily.


Taji smiled and chuckled, even he was feeling the buzz from his fellows.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu gave an amused chuckle though he seemed calm as ever.


"Oh this is our first big mission we should make sure we get it done right. And a positive attitude is a step in the right direction," Victoria said

 

[Ricia]

Leo couldn't agree more.


When they got to the area, it looked almost like a ruin you saw out of the movies, kind of indiana jones style. When they walked into the main of the temple like ruins there was a massive door. Leo went up closely and touched the door, it felt mostly like heavy stone.


In the middle of the door was three rigs, they looked kind of like they could move. In the middle was a large hole, a bit like a Key hole. Thone cleared his throat. "We've tried everything... every combination we could possibly think of... explosives... force. We've even tried digging around the door.. but nothing seems to work..."


Mika was staring very intently at the door examining it.


"You move the dials around and after that... we are not sure... the middle peice looks like it moves, but we can't ever move it." Thone told them as he explained it to them.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu walked up to examine the three rigs looking for markings. "I see, thank you Thone," he said and gengerly touched them and examined the keyhole Next.

 

[Ricia]

Kasu had to stand on his tippy toes to even reach the key hole since the wall was extremely large.


"I've translated the wall.... " Mika said in bland tone. "I've noticed a significant amount of words rhyme." Mika said before she bent down to the ground and drew out a translated version of the strange poem onto the ground.


Taji and Leo both looked down at Mika's drawin.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu looked away from the key hole and to Mika's rhymes "ok can you read them aloud Mika so we can hear and see it?"


Kaishiro looked at the rymes from over Mika's shoulder.

 

[Ricia]

Mika began to read them out loud, they sounded like it was teaching the cycle of elements and the riddle was rather tricky to put together, but with the help of Taji they were able to push the dials to the appropriate spot. However the doors were still not open.


"Well... this... seems... confusing... what do we even do now..." Leo asked in question, "Where do we find a key that size?"

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu sighed "maybe Dos can make a sword that size and shove it in," he was joking of course.


Victoria however took hold of Dos.

 

[Ricia]

After Kasu made the joke, a red portal opened and a broad sword shot out of in and straight into the hole. It was a snug fit, but it was not there.


Taji and Leo looked a bit more then speechless as DoS had actually did what Kasu was saying.


Mika nodded, "Kasu is so smart." She praised. Thoen looked completely shocked as well.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu's face was pricless a mix of Wtf and shock.


Victoria smiled "Thanks!" she said happily.


Kaishiro smiled "ok we are another step closer."

 

[Ricia]

"No problem." It was Marry, but before she could freak out, Precedence spoke up. "Don't worry, Marry is on her best behavior today." She said seeming happily.


Mika then walked up to the Board sword and took a hold of it before using her strength to turn. It took a few moments, but with a crack the door sounded like it unlocked and the whole thing opened rather slowly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu looked to Thon "We opened it," he said "I think it best if you stay out here though just incase the door decides it wants to reseal."

 

[Ricia]

"of course!" Thone said with a shocked face, bringing himself back after a moment.


"Lets all be careful.." Leo told them.


Taji was already looking through the long hall way. It looked really nice, it had beautiful fountains on both side as they walked down it.


"We should be careful of traps..." Taji said before taking a timid step in.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yes, we should stay as a group," Kasu said Kaishiro held to Taji. "do you want to lead Taji?"


Victoria was amazed on the inside she held Dos with a smile she was very happy Marry was on her good behavior.

 

[Ricia]

"Best behavior indeed... I almost assassinated the prince..." Marry said with a dark chuckle.


"But you didn't, i'm proud of you!" Pren told Marry.


They walked until the hallways split into two different directions.


"This can be bad..." Leo said looking either direction.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Mika... can you see any indication of a trapped way?" Kasi asked her "if not we can split up we all have our mirrors,"

 

[Ricia]

Taji nodded, "I think splitting up is a good idea." Mika shook her head, meaning she didn't see anything.


Leo looked unsure, "I don't think splinting up is a good idea..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

'we can cast a vote," Kasu proposed to leo "all in favor of splitting?" Kasu raised his hand so did victoria.

 

[Ricia]

Taji raised his hand as well. Mika, Leo and Kaishiro all seemed not to. "It is tied..." Leo said looking around.


"I can not protect of translate for all over you if we are split up." Mika said with definition.


"With Dos on one team and you Mika on another... I think it would be fine." Taji countered.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"it also boils down to ... how much time are we willing to risk being in here?" Kasu asked. "what happens when the sword disapears?"

 

[Ricia]

Leo sighed and against his better judgment and trusting Kasu's he nodded, "I trust your judgement Kasu." Leo said looking up at him, giving him a nervous smile, "Split us up."


Taji let out a happy sigh. Now they could get it done faster.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Leo... that only makes me more causious as we recal... I am not the best leader... Taji I want you With Victoria and Dos, Mika you with Kaishiro and Leo... since i have the most book smarts besides Mika... I'll go with Taji and Victoria." he wanted to be with Leo but he was safer with Mika.

 

[Ricia]

"Like I told you... even great leaders make mistakes... " Leo told him, "It'll be ok... lets all make sure to stay in contact."


Mika nodded, "be safe then." She told them before leading her small group to the left.


Taji turned and lead the other group to the right.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Kasu and Victoria followed Taji While poor Kaishiro followed Leo and Mika a bit nervously.

 

[Ricia]

I took a while.. but the halls pretty much looked the same till the came to a very large room, sitting in the middle of it was a statue that looked kind of like a god. Half of it was male, the other half female. Split down the middle. Funny enough, the two path ways came together in the room, meaning it didn't mater which way then went, it was basically a bit circle.


"Oh wow.." Leo said with a smile when they meet up with the other group, "What luck!"
