. . . Do you hear that? . . . That's right, nothing. Not a single sound can be heard inside this temple. A heavy, ancient door lies tightly shut. The walls, rotten, covered with mold. The ceiling, with holes and cracks all over it, barely stable. The rotten wood torches, long forgotten and asleep, and in the middle, lies a pedestal, made out of smooth and polished marble. Somehow, among this rot and mold, this pedestal has no sign of either. In the middle, 7 gem shaped slots can be seen, forming a circle, and located in the center, a black gem lies awake. It glows purple in a rhythmic pattern, like a beating heart.
- Rumbling -
Do you hear that?. . . Right again, sound, rumbling to be precise. For the first time, in a very long time, sound can be heard inside these walls. However, the question still remains. Where is the sound coming from?
The ancient door begins to move. The door begins to open, letting the light of the sun in. The rumbling gets more intense...
Finally, the door so tightly shut before, has opened. The blinding light shines, and infront of it, 3 silhouettes can be seen. To the left, a small figure. Its posture, confident and sassy. Its ears are large, and its wings are small. In the middle, a medium figure. It has a calm yet alert posture. Its hair is spiky, and the rings on its hands and feet shine when it comes in contact with the light. Finally, to the right, a tall, bulky figure. Its posture is static. Its features are heavy and block like.
The figures begin to walk into the room, slowly revealing their appearance.
" This better be the place. Im not up to walk for 3 hours in this forest again. "
The winged creature speaks, her tone slightly agitated.
" SCANNING . . . . . NO UNIDENTIFIED LIFE FORMS DETECTED " The bulky creature states.
The Spiky haired creature stays silent and observant. It looks around, curious about the temple's existence. It notices the pedestal in the center, and begins to walk towards it.
" Shadow, wait. " The winged creature speaks.
Shadow. That is the name of the Spiky haired creature. Quite Curious.
Shadow looks at the pedestal with curiosity. He sees the black gem in the center, still beating.
He finally speaks
" This must be what's causing the interference in the comms. "
" You think so? "
" Maybe.."
The winged creature would get closer
" What the..."
" It looks like some sort of . . . 'Black Emerald' " said Shadow.
" Its very pretty... " The winged creature would slowly reach for the gem.
" Rouge " Said Shadow, in a slightly annoyed tone.
Rouge. That is the name of the winged creature.
She would chuckle. " Relax Shadow, im not going to take it "
She would touch the gem.
" Besides, I don't think I could, even it if I wanted to "
Shadow would notice the 7 gem shaped slots surrounding the black gem.
He would think for a moment
" Omega, give me the emerald "
Ah, Omega. The name of the bulky creature. Such fascinating names.
"UNDERSTOOD. EJECTING"
A slot in Omega's arm would open, revealing a beautiful green emerald. Omega would pick it up, and hand it over to Shadow.
Shadow would then look at one of the slots in the pedestal. Slowly, he would insert the emerald.
The black gem would begin glow. The figures would shield their faces from the light.
However, just as suddenly, the emerald would stop glowing.
Silence would fill the room
Shadow would pick up the emerald, and he would give it to Omega, whom shortly after would store the emerald once again.
"Omega, would you check the comms?" Asked Rouge
The bulky entity would stay frozen for 7 seconds. It would then turn to Rouge.
" COMMUNICATIONS: ONLINE. INTERFERENCE ELIMINATED "
Rouge would let out a sigh of relief.
"Finally..." She would say.
"Let's go- " Shadow would suddenly be interrupted.
" MASSIVE CHAOS ENERGY DETECTED. 7 FEET AHEAD. "
I would begin to emerge from the shadows.
It has been centuries...
Shadow and Rouge would suddenly look at me. They would get in a defensive stance.
"What is that?! "
I . . . would laugh
" For the first time in centuries, I walk on this earth...
...once again "
