[Recieved Permission from Marcus on 10/21] Walking out the Grounds of Mirandal you come up to the Pyreene Forest. Walking about twenty steps in you find yourself at a small creek. Following the creek is not a easy journey though as you may find out or already know. About ten minutes from following it you head the roaring noise of water. Continuing the way of the creek it leads you to a small river flowing into a small waterfall. Peering down from the small, sixity-foot waterfall, you are graced with the sight of....Berias Temple. The Overview is...As you look down from one side of the waterfall you notice the waterfall is in the shape of a half a circle, surronding one whole side of the temple. It all runs down into a large lake which the temple sits apon. It's surronded by trees and plants of all sorts, wildlife is also frequently seen in the area. It you look closely at the end of the waterfall you will see a small platform, nine by nine in measurement. it's purpose is unclear but maybe that shining something in the center will lead you to a clue.
As you make your way down the rough hills at the sides of the waterfall you'll begin to feel slightly light-headed. Reaching the same level as the lake and the temple you'll often feel a wave of energy wash thorugh you. The temple is sacred and send out energy to repel evil spirits. Though it works for most evil spirits, some can get by the barrier.
You enter the temple at the south end of the lake. You approch a old, stone build tunnel that stays afloat among the water. Holes lay in the floor of the tunnel revealing the almost clear water underneath it. Making your way halfway down you'll notice a large opening on the right. It leads down to a small dock with two boats next to it to row around the lake. Finally you make it to the Fountain Room.The Fountain Room...The Fountian Room is the major room in the whole temple. In the Cneter of the large room sits a large fountain. It's connected to the whole lake as the water, from the lake, shoots out from six different points on the circular fountain. In the center of the fountain sits a statue of six wolves all surronding a spear. In two of the four wolves mouthes sits two glowing orbs.
Looking up you'll be graced with the appearence of swirling lights. The lights are all spirits gathered to the temple do to it being a spiritual "hot zone". This is more than likely the best place to meet spirits and use spiritual powers.
Now looking ahead of you, past the fountain are stairs. They go up a great length and lead to the Sanctuary. To the west of the room lies bedrooms, not much but still good enough to stay in if needed. In the east wing lay many things, maybe even a few secrets.The West WingThe west wing is a simple wing at that. It's a decent sized hallway with two orbs on the right and left as you first enter it. To your right sits four rooms. Each being a bedroom. Each bedroom is a decent sized space. It comes with a futon in each and a small fire-pit. In the corner of each sits a small water whole for fishing, hand washing or anything else. Easily decoraitable!
At the very end of the wing though are two different things. At the very end sits a stairwell leading to the upper level. The upperlevel has four more bedrooms, made almost exactly accept for the small waterholes. leading out of the upstairs hallway takes you to a garden .. on the roof. Odd, maybe, but still. It's filled with herbs, plants and flowers galore so feel free to relax up there.
On the wall, before the stairwell are three odd holes. Maybe there's a secret meaning behind them?East Wing...The east wing is a very unusual one. It seems to lead to nothing at all, and only has one small window at the very end. Along the wing sit unusual torches that light themselves when you walk by. Along the walls are many holes to place something, what those somethings are and what they'll do is a mystery.Sanctuary...At the top of the stairs lies the Sanctuary of the temple. As you walk up the stairs, the sound of a peaceful chorus hits your ears with a calming sensation. When you reach the top you are granted toa dark room. If you step though, about three feet infront of you, that all changes. Over 300 candles in blue vases of all shapes and sized light themselves in a unusual blue flame, revealing a circle int he center of the room, where the power of the temple radiates from.
On the far side of the Sanctuary stand a large, ancient statue of a grand wolf. It sits on it's abck legs, paws forward and it's head handing downward slightly. In it's mouth sits a large blue orb, about the size of a average globe.
Along the walls of the entrance sit two orbs on each side. LAong the wall it says in case of dnager, remove the orbs. No one has ever done it though, fearing what it may do to them or the temple.Secrets...None Currently - PM and we'll make one

Lord's Den [Hidden]: Hawthorn
Right Hand Room [Hidden]: Vincent
Left hand Room [Hidden]: CageRoom Descriptions:[WIP xD]--------------------------RP Begins-------------------------- The waterfall stood in place, it's waters pooling out into the lake below. Peacefulness came from the lake, a sense of harmony and joy. Apon the center of the lake though, grew a small blue light. Finally, it errupted upward, expeling a grand beam of light upward into the sky as a seal grew over the lake.
In moments the Seal vanished but a structure of some sort began to form. Stone settled above the lake as a temple began to appear, shakign the very foundation of the lake, waterfall and small river escaping from the lake's side. In moments the ligth anished a a radiating energy expelled from the tmeple.
Where the entrance now stood sat three demon penguins, two of they're faces in awe while one stood their, sword plunged into it's skull. A figure suddenly appeared from inside, pulling the sword from the penguin's cranium. The two penguins stood their in shock while the one had the sword removed. After a moment of breif silence, the penguins, at a alarmed rate, shot into the temple.
"Think he knows were here?"
Another figure formed behind him.
"Yeah, he know's alright"

Hawthorn stood in awe at the sight of the waterfall, it's roaring waters pushing over the rough cliffs astoudned him. A she moved slightly towards the edge, he looked downward and felt a pull of energy. There he saw it, Berias Temple, his father's acient shrine. Lookign to his right he saw a long, rough hill down around the lake.
As he began to walk he turned, noticing Rin had found him. With a kind look, if it could be considered kind on his almost emotionless face, he nodded to her. Turning around he began to walk again. When he made it to the steep and sharp hill he glanced downward. He jumped down toa small ledge and from there, began his way downward.

Rin continued following after him, keeping him in sight this time so she wouldn't risk getting lost. Her eyes darted around, trying to look for landmarks to help her just in case, but the only thing seemed to be that little creek. She blinked as she cast it a quickly glance, and then looked back up towards the boy again. She hadn't caught his name yet, had she...
She paused for a moment when she saw him look back at her, and stared for a moment until he started moving again. She hesitated just a moment, before started to follow after him, eyes darting around their surroundings. This temple... She didn't remember it being on the map when she'd looked over it upon her arrival. Did the blue light have something to do with that?
She paused at the edge of the hill, peering downwards. She saw he'd jumped to a small ledge and let herself hesitate before sliding her way towards it, boots skidding across the ground. Then she jumped onto it, wobbling for a second, before starting down the hill as well, moving cautiously.

His following of Rin and Hawthorn eventually brought him to the edge of the forest - and to a sight strangely familiar.
Before him was a vast temple with a roaring waterfall of glimmering and pure water. Standing on the edge between the forest and the temple's grounds he saw Hawthorn making his way down the hill towards the shrine, Rin not far behind.
The stream Razzer was standing on widened to a lake, into which flowed the waterfall. Walking across the stream, he kept a slightly faster pace than Hawthorn, and soon he was almost in stride with him.
Now that he was out of the thick of the forest, Razzer walked back onto the solid ground, and released the energy holding him afloat. Hawthorn was being drawn towards the temple - and the light - as if in a trance, and so Razzer followed cautiously.

Hawthorn continued to make his way down the steep cliffs of jagged rock. He peered over at his left, where the waterfall roared downward into the lake. He then noticed that razzer had caught up, moving at a steady pace with him. He looked back as he jumped down to another ledge, peerign at Rin as she made her way down, following his suite.
When he finally reached the settled gorund area of the lake, he felt something. Almost like a gentle wave of energy pass through him. He shook his head, becoming dizzy and incohernat for a second before bracing forward again.
He could sense them and their power levels now, fully. They were there, inside, just waiting for him to walk in. He walked around the circular path towards the entrance of the temple, starring at the celestial water the temple was based on.
As he approched the entrance, the hair on the abck of his necks tood. Something wasn't right, the two inside hadn't let there powers down at all yet. As he reached the front of the dark tunnel, he peered in before walking inside. As he entered though, two shouts were released.
"Flame Buster!"
"Terra Wind!"
Suddenly, a alrge blast of fire and wind ripped through the hall, shooting directly at Hawthorn, and the others. Hawthron raised his hands in defense against the attack, but what would happen next, he didn't know"

Hawthorn glanced at Razzer, acknowledging his presence, and continued towards the familiar temple.
Where have I seen that temple before? the mage asked himself, racking his brains.
A wave of energy passed over Razzer, dizzying him for a moment. That must be the purification going to work... he concluded. Hawthorn entered the entrance tunnel, and Razzer was right behind him.
Then, suddenly, he heard two voices yell out.
"Flame Buster!"
"Terra Wind!"
The tunnel began to heat up, and suddenly a blast of fire and wind was tearing down the tunnel towards them. Razzer cursed loudly and brought his arms back. The lake and waterfall weren't too far behind him. Yelling in strain, he ripped his arms forward. A titanic amount of water came flying out of the lake, washing over Razzer and Hawthorn and building a barrier in the tunnel. The ten-foot thick wall of water separated them from the oncoming fire and wind, which thundered towards them.
Closing his eyes and gritting his teeth, Razzer held the barrier as steady as he could, preparing for the impact.

Rin paused for a moment on her way down the hill, glancing up to see Razzer moving right past her. She frowned for a moment, mumbled something about him 'cheating' under her breath, and then dropped her gaze back to the ground. She didn't want to end up falling down the hill or something. She blinked when Hawthorn faced her again, but soon just narrowed her eyes at the ground, concentrating on keeping her footing stable.
She finally reached the ground, a few minutes after Hawthorn did, and hurried to follow after him again. She trailed along the circular path, several feet behind him, her eyes darting around warily. It felt odd.. she hadn't felt this many spirits at once in a long time, but that almost didn't seem entirely true. Nothing had happened at Ria, had it? This whole temple seemed oddly familiar, but no... There was no way it could've been at Ria when it was obviously here.
She paused suddenly, looking up to see Hawthorn had stopped entered. And then, two shouts followed shortly after, and her eyes widened in alarm as a sudden burst of fire and wind sprang out towards them. She took a step back, and raised her arms slightly over her head. But, she really had no other means of defense. Her eyes slammed shut as she crouched slightly, bracing herself, for she was sure it would hit.
But then she heard another shout, Razzer's this time, and lowered her arms again as she stared forward. She was behind him and Hawthorn, but towering in front of them was a huge wave of water. She stared almost blankly, completely shocked. So he... Razzer could control the movement of water? But then she realized that was obvious. He'd shown it a moment before when moving over the creek. So she let her arms fall limply by her sides a she remained standing a ways behind the two. She'd hidden the fear from her face, but it was obvious in her eyes.

Hawthorn hadn't even gotten to start a abrrier spell as Razzer blocked the incomming attack witha wall fo water. Turning to him, his head slantedi n confussion. Shaking it off though, He turned back to facing the wall of water as the flames and wind crashed against it, releasing a fog of intensly cool steam. He opened his mouth and ebgan to speak.
"Thanks"
Was the only word that escaped from his open lips as he now glared past the water into the fog. Closing his eyes, and moving his arms over his chest, he sunk into the floor. Though the floor didn't move, his body, as if he were a ghost, phased into the groudn below.
Moment's later, fromt he opposite side of the water a struggle could be Heard. The fog kept it hidden though as blows could be heard conencting to whatever they were atatcking. Suddenly, through the fog, two men, each flew through the water made barrier and onto the ground of the tmeple entrance, skidding right past Razzer and Rin. Hawthorn, now emerged fromt he ground of the temple in between both of them.
"Numbskulls" he said as he kicked the back haired one with outlandish clothing in the stomach. he then move to the next one and kicked him in the back.
"You almost fried us!!!"

Rin continued staring as the flames hit, releasing a thick fog as they did. Seeing as they were safe for the moment, she slowly inched forward until she was only a couple feet behind Razzer, slightly to one side. By that time, Hawthorn had already vanished ahead into the fog. She tilting her head slightly to one side, eyes narrowing as she tried to figure out what was happening.
But then she heard noises, indicated that somebody was being beaten up. Whether it was Hawthorn or not, she wasn't sure. She glanced uncertainly towards Razzer and then back into the fog, when two shapes suddenly began appearing, quite rapidly, until they came into sight. Her eyes widened as she saw what appeared to be two men, flying through the air, and then crashing painfully back to the ground. She whirled around quickly to face them, staring in stunned confusion, which only grew as Hawthorn came out again and began kicking the pair.
Her mouth was hanging very slightly open as she watched. So did... that mean Hawthorn knew them? Then why had they attacked?! She snapped out of her daze and the regular frown returned as she watched them angrily. Attacking from out of sight... what cowards.

The attack hit the barrier with devastating force, easily dissolving a good six feet of the water and reducing it to steam. The force of the blow went through to Razzer's arms, and he yelled out.
Hawthorn looked at him, puzzled, for a few seconds before saying a thanks.
Then, it was Razzer's turn to be puzzled. Hawthorn closed is eyes and crossed his arms over his chest, and sunk through the floor. A minute later, sounds of a struggle were coming from the heavy steam on the other side of the mostly-demolished barrier.
Suddenly two men flew through the barrier, closely followed by Hawthorn, who came out of the ground. He called the two men numbskulls and booted one in the stomach. The other got a kick to the back.
"You almost fried us!!!" he said to them. Razzer just looked at him.
"You know these two?" he asked, releasing the barrier. A ton or two of water dropped to the floor of the tunnel, running around their ankles. The attack drained a large amount of energy from Razzer - not like he had much left to begin with. All the matter with the demon was quite taxing. While he awaited a reply, the mage limped over to the wall of the tunnel, and slumped down into a sitting position.

"Sadly I do. There more of my wodnerfully stupid crew. Think the penguins but more powerful, more human, .." he said calmly before ending it with a dissapointed tone, " and I'm starting to think even more stupid."
Both let out a aching groan as the first of the two stood. His spikey black hair rested down against his face in different parts, though, not concealing his emerald eyes. He wore unusual clothing though. A pair of sandals, that had an odd fog float near them. He wore a large pair of black pants, similar to Hawthorn's, but has a cloud design along the bottum. Lastly, he didn't weara shirt but he had something that looked like a cloud, more than a cloth, entwining his arms and looped around his back.
"Calm down Hawthorn, it wasn't like that attack was gonna kill you, if it was you. And even if you were to die, we'd find a way to bring you back ... hopefully" he said with a grin on his face.
Hawthorn gave a glare at him before glaring at the other that stood up. This one had blazzing orange-red spikey hair and a pair of crimson orbs to match with it. This one wore no shirt either but his body was covered in tatoo seals, of soem meanign to whichw a smost likly unreasonable to understand. He wore large white pants like the other two, and a simple pair of unsual red sandals.
"What do you have to say?"
"... We tried to fry you .... and it was a little funny"
The black hair one bursted intoa fit of laughter until hawthorn pulled a bat, out from behind his back, and slammed him in the stomach with it. Then nailing him in the head with it before turnign aroudn and wacking the other one. Holdign the bat he glared at the two before looking up at Rin and Razzer.
"Rin and Razzer, I'd like you to meet Alexander Andros and Kyo. Guys, this is Razzer and Rin. And welcome to Berias Temple" he said before sighing, and sitting down on the stone floor.

Razzer was a little taken aback when Hawthorn hit the spikey-haired one with a bat that he produced from behind his back, but not all that surprised.
Looking up at the two strange people, he nodded as Hawthorn introduced them.
Letting out a small laugh - one that quickly turned into a cough - Razzer spoke.
"More stupid than those damn penguins? I find that hard to believe."
Groaning, he stood up again. Walking closer to the one with fiery hair, Razzer frowned slightly. "Those tattoos... they're seals, no?" Pondering this, he looked Kyo up and down. Those seals... I wonder what their meaning is... It'd be interesting to see how I'd fare against him.
He hadn't fought a fire-manipulator before, but it would definately be interesting. If his fire-manipulation was greater than his water-manipulation, Razzer's techniques would be rendered useless. But if his water-manipulation trumped the fire-manipulation, this new interloper would be at a disadvantage.

Rin stared at the two male's silently while listening to Hawthorn. She'd closed her mouth again, and was frowning, having regained her composure a bit. She sent a glare towards the black haired one spoke, mentioning hopefully bringing Hawthorn back if someting had happened. She couldn't help thinking.. what about her and Razzer? But mainly her? Her arms folded across her chest as her eyes shifted to the other one.
Her eyes widened slightly at the orange haired one's words, but before she could open her mouth to shout and him and the other, Hawthorn had pulled a bat from nowhere and slamming both males with it. She blinked a couple times, staring at them before looking back to Hawthorn.
Then she glared at the two of them, looking a little skeptical before very slightly bowing her head. "It's... nice to meet you," she mumbled reluctantly.
She glanced back towards Razzer when he spoke, frown still upon her face. "It's seems pretty possible to me," she muttered, referring to the pair's stupidity. Then she fell silent again, watching Razzer approach them and waiting to see what'd happen next.

Kyo glanced at the girl as she made the comment, refering to them after , after Razzer made his comment on the penguins. he didn't midn the penguins much, but he had to admit, they were stupid. With a glance he looked over at Razzer as he asked about his seals. With a smile he began to answer,
"Yeah, they're seals of a fallen angel" Kyo said warmly, with a smile, before turnign to look at Hawthorn, who seemed to eb zoned out at the moment.
Alex stood up and walked over to the girl. He looked at her oddly, as if he sensed something about her. Oddly, she seemed almost frmailiar to him as he looked ove rher. Then witha smile he held out hi hand to her.
"Nice to meet you, you can call me Alex or Andrew"
"Don't forget your nickname from back home, Asshat."
"Hawthorn, shut it"
