No one’s pov
As spooky as it seemed, the Earth Temple was filled with butterflies, insects and many flowers, like the rest of the kingdom of Land of Serenity. Young Inspirer was walking carefully in front of the magician, making sure the path in front of them was clear of any traps. The stairs looked infinite, like it didn’t have an end to it. They walked up the stairs for many minutes, it seemed like it was never ending, almost tired of walking upstairs Harley realizing that the ambient surrounding them repeated itself. He made a mark in a vein and kept quiet while walking with Harith in the same space, once he saw the mark again, he grabbed Harith’s arm and told him about the situation. Both went downstairs and immediately got out of the stairs, they managed to get out easily. The magician started reading the book given by Queen Irithel, they needed answers, unfortunately they got into another riddle: “Same, same, same, yet new, new, new. Eyes on the stairs but keep them away. The glitter is there, and so is the way.” With confusion in their faces they decided to get back on the magical stairs, they got to understand part by part the riddle that kept them inside the same scenery. They were in the same ambient, everything was the same, yet something feel different from every new set; they started to look around the veins and sideways on the stairs, they needed their eyes open but away from somewhere, they decided they would take away their priority on the stairs since they didn’t have much luck at the beginning. Harith gasped as he saw what it seems like a tiny pagoda glowing inside the veins, he remembered the glitter and compared it to the glow the pagoda was emitting. Turning his direction to Harley he grabs his hand and pulls him to his back, giving him a piggy ride, and without any explanation, or giving Harley the minute to think about the situation, he jumps to the other side of the stairs.
Harley – (screaming in fear) You imbecileeeeeeeee!!!
They say felines land on their paws, but this leonin didn’t have such luck with a companion moving in every direction due to anxiety. A terrible landing was received, Harley had minor scratches and they suddenly disappeared due to the water orb, but Harith felt like one of his rib bones had moved, while still in pain he ignored it. Acting was the way to go without Harley knowing that he had fallen and injured himself badly. After finally getting their senses together they saw the pagoda, it had an altitude that could not be measured by human sight, not even a leonin could see the end of it. They panicked, it was too long for them to climb, they were tired after all those stairs and crashing in. In agreement, they affirm that it could be an illusion made by the ancient fairies to protect the Earth Temple, and they walked to the entrance. The pagoda was as tall as imagined from far away; the entrance was locked. Harith knew this journey was going to be troublesome for them, it was to keep safe the sacred orbs, therefore everything would be difficult to accomplish.
Harith – (sighs) We need a plan. (looks at Harley while breathing deep)
Harley – Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself on the landing? (worried looks down) I’m sorry… I was just…
Harith – (interrupts) It’s okay, don’t worry. I’m fine, really (smiles at him) We do need a plan to get in… any ideas on that book?
Harley – (widens eyes and takes out the book and starts reading) Umm… only the last riddle, no more, then it goes to some types of different leaves… stones… and a bunch of small animals. (confused) What could it mean?
Harith – (turning around while touching his rib and breathing heavily) There must be something we aren’t seeing… (inspects the pagoda and points to the second floor) LOOK!
Harley – (looks to the second floor) Ah!!! (teleports to the second floor and grabs a chest) Ah… I didn’t measure this… (looks down nervously) Try catching this, Har… (slips off the ceiling and screams)
Harith – (notices and starts running) HARLEY!!! (makes a Harith from another dimension)
Harley – (falls on top of the fake Harith) Oh… (blushes) two Hariths… Thank you… (Fake Harith disappears)
