Once again the group arise to finish their journey. After a few days of travel the group stumble across what seems to have at one point have been a temple, vines and other foliage have invaded the once sacred place leading to cracks that have formed in the stone.
After a minute or two the group have hacked away the vines covering the entrance and begin entering, after the four find the main room it finally dawns on them what they found.
"The lost moon temple?" Viktor exclaims wiping the dust on the moon symbol.
"Zheirs got to be treasure here" Maeve reasons.
"We can't steal from a temple!" Fernando replies, shocked he even had to say that.
"We could be rich" Maeve seems to persuade.
"Or we could anger the Moon goddess." Jason finally steps in fearing his life.
"You're all boring." Maeve finishes walking towards the middle of the room. "Hey check Zhis out." she continues.
The Four crowd around the middle of the room staring at a crescent shaped crystal. Before they could even think to stop her Maeve's fingers brush the crystal.
Upon contact the crystal glows a bright white and a figure starts to form, after a few seconds a figure is fully formed. Once the light dies down the four are left staring at the new person in the room, white long hair flows in none existent wind and the woman's tail sways side to side. Her blue eyes scan over the four as she flattens her fox ears and tilts their head to the left in confusion.

It takes a few seconds of the woman staring at the group in confusion for the first of the four to realise who she is

It takes a few seconds of the woman staring at the group in confusion for the first of the four to realise who she is. "Wait you're Io as in Io the moon goddess! What, I never thought I would ever see you in person." Jason exclaims causing the others to cast him judgemental looks, while Io herself let out a small giggle.
"So about that treasure." Maeve asks the goddess when the group falls silent, this earns her glares from the others surprisingly excluding the goddess.
"We are sorry Maeve there is nothing of any value here." Io explains sincerely to the girl.
The other three take the goddess word strolling out of the temple into the now cool darkened desert. While Maeve is less reluctant casting one last look around before chasing after her friends as Io passes her. The group gaining a friend in the goddess and her fox friend Luna, who watch over them as they continue their journey.
