"Levy, are we almost there yet?" Gajeel asked with a groan.

"Almost Gajeel," Levy replied, looking at the map.

"You said that fifteen minutes ago!"

"How would you know? You've been groaning for the past five minutes!"

"Tch, whatever." Gajeel crossed his arms and pouted, earning a chuckle from Levy.

"Don't worry Gajeel," Pantherlily chimed in. "We'll get to the temple soon."

"Yeah," Sapphire agreed.

The group were on their way to the Temple of Riddles. The job requested for them to retrieve a priceless, historic gemstone and return it to the Tuly Village. Apparently, a group of bandits stole it and hid it in the temple, hoping to gain some money off of it. Before they could sell it, the Royal Army caught and arrested the thieves. However, they were unable to get the gemstone because for some odd reason, they couldn't get inside the Temple of Riddles.

That's where the wizards come in.

"Thanks for coming with us, Sapphire." Pantherlily smiled. "It means a lot."

"Oh, um, no problem." Sapphire blushed.

"Ah, crap My face is getting red again!" she thought. "Pull yourself together!"

"Sapphire, is everything okay?" Pantherlily gave a look of concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Sapphire smiled.

Having a huge crush on Pantherlily, Sapphire decided to join him, Levy, and Gajeel on a job. She felt the need to prove her usefulness to Pantherlily, so he could acknowledge her worthiness. This job was her chance to do just that.

"Alright, we're here," said Levy.

The four mages looked up in awe at the four story building. It was dark purple with intricate silver designs on the sides. In the front, there was a big black door outlined in gray.

"Whoa," said Sapphire amazed.

"It sure is big," said Levy.

"I'll say," said Pantherlily.

"Alright, gemstone here we come," said Gajeel as he walked to the door.

The iron dragon slayer attempted to push open the door, but it wouldn't budge. Confused, he tried pushing with both arms and tried kicking down the door. The door still wouldn't open.

"What the hell!?" he grunted in annoyance.

"What's wrong, Gajeel?" Pantherlily ran over to him.

"It's this damn door! It won't open!"

"Let me help." Pantherlily popped into his battle form, and he and Gajeel attempted to open the door together.
