"Next stop is the temple." I recalled as we emerged from the hall.
"That means we may see..." gulped Sabrina.
I nodded in agreement. I knew what she was thinking.
"Include me in your silent talks." whined the scroll.
"We were just talking about the monster we may see." sighed Sabrina.
"And that would be?" he pressed.
"The Black Demon." Sabrina whispered.
"What?!" the scroll replied shock.
"Can we not discuss this?" pleaded Sabrina.
I looked down at the scroll in my hand.
"It's a rough topic." I explained to him.
"Where are we going?" asked the scroll.
"To the lost temple of Neptune." I replied.
"You know the location of the lost temple of Neptune?!" he cried. "Even I don't know that!"
"We have a map." I replied.
"Let me see it." the scroll begged.
"No." I responded.
"We do have to check it though." reasoned Sabrina.
"Fine." I sighed.
The scroll brighten up.
"My heart is bright and holy, light the way for my journey." I chanted then blew on the map.
"Interesting. So those are the words." the scroll muttered.
"Uh no!" I realized. "You now know the words and if anyone questions you, since you only care about yourself, will tell them! Now even the villains will know where to go!"
"I should never have reasoned with you." sobbed Sabrina. "We are now doomed!"
"What do you take me for? A tattle tale? I would never give up the secrets of the seven seas unless worthy." confirmed the scroll.
"Would you give up the secrets though to save your own life?" I pressed.
"Well, if I die all the secrets will be gone, but they can be recovered. If I do tell them the secrets will be exposed. Probably will have to go with the die thing even if that wouldn't exactly be my favorite choice." he decided.
"Good for you then." I said sarcastically.
"Well you should be happy I am keeping your secrets." he muttered.
"We are." Sabrina hastened to say.
"At least I get respect from someone here." the scroll mumbled.
"Maybe we should just start heading to the temple?" suggested Sabrina.
"Good idea." I sighed.
"Wait? Does anyone remember what was on the map?" Sabrina questioned.
"We are on the right path. We just have to make sure we are going straight." I recalled.
"I can't believe what I am seeing." whispered the scroll.
"I can't believe you can see anything through my hand." I countered.
"Well, I can sorta see through my fingers and if you turn me a little to the left and hold me up I can see a lot better." he explained.
I did what he said.
