Hue raced over to gray and Selena.

Hue: Gray what happened?

Gray: I don't know. 

The girl's eyes fluttered open, this time not startled by seeing gray. She was slightly surprised from their worried and shocked faces.

Selena: So what I miss?

She tried to make this situation as relaxed as she had been.

Gray: Are you-

Selena: I'm fine it happens so this time with this body. You two are the ones who seemed shocked.

Hue: Shocked isn't the word I would use.

She sat up looking around this time controlling herself.

Selena: This place is truly beautiful

Gray: What do you mean it's just rocks.

Selena: Just rocks?

Hue lit a small light on her fingers trying to get a better view.

Hue: It just looks like a normal cave. Well despite the hole that seems to go into the earth.

Silf: Guys hurry up and get down here.

Ace put a hand on grays shoulder

Ace: Let's go.

Gray nodded as the group was already making their descent into the temple. The door was still open and the books still scattered around the floor near the shelves. The pool of blood from that water element who had first attacked him was dried and blackened.

Silf: Look what I found.

She was holding a small jar with an even smaller black feather suspended inside of it.

Hue: Silf you might want to put that back it looks fragile.

Silf: What are you insinuating?

Hue: Well you with fragile things. Well, things tend to break.

Silf pouted almost dropping the glass enclosure. Selena lightly chuckled as gray sighed.

Silf: Alright I'll put it down.

Ace was examining the room and its many books are artifacts. The walls were lined with books of various shapes colors and sizes. Objects of unknown Origins and known laid on shelves and in drawers that were open. Nothing seemed to be disturbed except for the things silf has had gone through. Ace picked up a small book that was lying near the entrance Ace picked up a small book that was lying near the entrance of Temple. He couldn't decipher the language in it. The word seems to be some ancient language Selena didn't even recognize at first.

Selena: Wait let me see that.

Ace: Alright sure.

He handed the book over to Selena and the word seemed to shuffle on the page. They shuffled into a language both Ace and Selena understood although the language was slightly more difficult for Ace then he would have imagined. The book described what only could be called Another World a worlds that Selena was quite used to. It compared this world to the world that was currently here. Although this world had elements that were replaced with numbers in the other world. Ace called this office fiction just some writings of a Madman yet Selena knew better.

Gray: Wait did you hear that?

Hue: Yeah I heard that.

They all went silent hearing faint footsteps coming down into the hole which led to the temple. From what they can tell there were more than just one set of footsteps. When was lighter than the other and could barely be heard but silf felt them in her feet as a ground shook.
