The couple were originally going to stay at the old temple for much longer, maybe a month. They had wanted to explore, document and take pictures of everything. They wanted to learn about the temple and the God it use to worship before they left. However, after finding Cross, they had to cut their plan short. They had to get him to a doctor for a check up and they knew they didn't have enough for his hungry.
The locals and the men that had hired them were surprised to see the couple back early and this time bringing someone with them! The men, company men who wanted to either destroy the temple or make it an attraction, agreed to hold off any plans till it was clear that the temple wasn't still worshiped or something similar. The locals had also gotten a doctor and a psychiatrist as a just in case.
It took some time for Cross to actually get a proper check up as he didn't trust the doctor like he trusted Nightmare and Dream. He also was very tense and would rush to one of the couple's if the doctor did anything sudden or grabbed something Cross wasn't familiar with. Still, those troubles were nothing compared to the psychiatrist.
They were trained to handle victims of rape, trauma of any kind, and war veterans. Yet, the scars and the amount of healed broken bones in Cross's body suggested that this was something else. With the amount of scars littering his body, he could've fooled anyone into thinking that he was both abused and had gone to a war of some sort. The healed bone fractures were saying that he could've been tortured for months! And his responses to things new was that he took it as a threat till someone calmly pulled him close to it and explained what it was.
The psychiatrist could only assume that Cross had been a victim of illegal unground street fighting from a young age. That he was forced to fight or maybe he was forced to watch fights and be "trained" to take someone's place. It was an awful theory. Their next theory was that Cross was abandoned as a child and just simply forced to run around and figure things out. He might've understood the human language simply because he listened to people talk.
Honestly, it didn't really matter what they thought he had went through to gain all those scars and reactions, it was clear he wasn't going to talk. No one was really sure if he could talk. He'd open and closed his mouth on occasion when someone asked him something or called out his new name, but no real sound would come from it.
Still, Dream and Nightmare cared for Cross, trying to show him the new things that the world had to offer. They were hoping it would make him less jumpy when they take him into a place like a city. The main thing that seemed to fascinate him, was the iPhone and computer. This did make them smile, as they used both to teach and show him more things.
After some time, the three of them went back to the temple, the couple still had a job to do. They did tell their new companion why they were going back up the mountain to the temple. The pale haired male didn't seem to mind, just smiling brightly and nodding.
Cross felt warmth flowing inside of him at the thought of someone enjoying his temple. He honestly didn't remember what it felt like, but he was sure it was this! He wanted to show them his temple, he wanted them to ask for more about it! M-Maybe when he gets his voice back he could explain it all!
When the trio happily went into the temple, which at first had the couple leading. However, after nearly activating several traps and getting lost multiple times, Cross had to take over. None of them minded and he gleefully showed the two secret passage ways and surviving scrolls of his era.
The couple could only gasp and awe at the world they were introduce to. They carefully touched and documented the scrolls, took pictures of the carvings and unique rooms that were large and grand! They marveled at everything! Soon though, they separated from Cross, by accident really. However, they found themselves in the most lavish room so far.
