 (Nicolas cannot answer this test until he is RPed to be at the door) The door had some words carved into the stone, to your luck they were in english! The Stone Door's Test Read: ' It's a part of Heaven, though it touches the Earth. Some say it's valuable, others say no worth.
What is it?'

Nicolas felt the small woman grab ahold of his sleeve and drag him forward. With a slight chuckle, he followed her, ignoring the creepy native joining their supposed team. Nicolas silently wondered what use the native would be to them if they already developed such a hatred towards his ear shape? Ignoring the thought, he noticed the woman had paused and he quickened his pace to follow after her.
Once he reached Jaime, he realised she had been looking at a door. The door had some writing carved into it in what seemed to be english! What their luck! Reading it over quickly, the elf furrowed his brow and focused his attention on Jamie. What use would the damned english be if it wasn't even worded properly! Crossing his arms and leaning against the wall, he hoped the woman could better answer the riddle. Nicolas felt so foolish.

" It's a part of heaven, though it touches earth. " Jamie recited the riddle to herself, staring at the floor. She hadnt thought that she would be needing to use her brain to get through the damned tunnel; and get to her treasure. " Some say its valuable.. " She continued, chewing on her lower lip. It was the nervous habit that she had picked up from her mother. She now began to pace, playing with her long braid in both hands. " ..others say there's no worth."
Her sky blue eyes looked to the ceiling as a smile crossed her features. Her mother had used to tell her of such things that were valuable in the sky. She had never seen one but her mother told her stories. They were supposed to be a wonderous sight.
Ms. Gallows gave a hopeful look to Nicolas before she crossed her fingers for luck and looked to the door, unsure of how she was supposed to answer the riddle. Out loud? Why not?
" It's a Rainbow."

The floor rumbles beneath Nicolas and Jamie, as the carvings in the door glow green. The door then slides down, the tunnel became longer, and appeared to go on quite a way.
Jamie and Nicolas have a 10 minute break before they can go to the next door. Perhaps this is a good opportunity for the two to talk.

Nicolas, with his back still against the wall, watched as his partner paced back and forth. She mouthed the words, whispering them softly as she thought and Nicolas only observed her. He had read the words once over and had no idea what they could be speaking of, "The sky?" He spoke out, though it seemed the woman had beat him to a much more reasonable answer, "A rainbow?" Nicolas questioned, his brow cocked and his face unamused. It was no wonder the bitter elf knew nothing of this question. Had his younger sister been there to read the words, she may have answered it herself. Nicolas, unlike her, had no skills in that sort of thing.
After Jamie spoke the answer aloud, Nicolas' gaze turned to the door as if waiting for something to happen. There did not seem to be any directions as to how to answer needed to be said, though just reciting it sounded crazy. How could her words open the door, "You sure you just need t' say it aloud, lass?" He questioned her again, though she had probably been correct.

" Of course i'm sure. " Jamie muttered as the door slid open, exposig an endless path of darkness ahead. Jamie retreated into herself as she stood facing the pitch black tunnel. There were some things she would need to face to get over her fear. Yet, she had been trying for some time and nothing seemed to work. She turned to look to Nicolas, giving him a smile as she began to walked backwards. She beckoned for the native to follow, for she wanted his torchlight near her.
Her fear would have most certainly subsided if she had only asked for Nicolas to walk more closely with her but she did not want to seem weak. She never wanted to seem weak. The feeling of being vulnerable and unable to help herself would drive her insane.
Still she looked to Nicolas and paused, her heels clicking against the stone flooring. " Are ye coming? " The young lass asked, still playing with her braid, so as to keep her mind off of the still darkness around them.

Nicolas watched as the pirate woman continued on into the tunnel. She had, indeed been right and the elf was honored to have her on his team. With a broad grin, he followed after, more pleased at the idea of possible treasure than actually solving whatever issues the natives had with their temple. Thoughts of gold, precious gems and sacred artifacts drifted through his mind as he continued after the woman.
Stepping closer to Jamie, as if he knew what she had been thinking, he wrapped an arm around her waist as they walked through the tunnel. His arm did not stay long, however, for soon his sapphire eyes caught site of a similar stone doorway like the one they had just viewed. Feeling as if he accomplished something, the man quickly released his grasp of Jamie and approached the door with a grin. Silently he hoped it may be something other than a riddle, but what, he was not sure of.

The warmth around her waist instantly calmed the woman. Jamie smiled into the dark, glancing to Nicolas. There it was again. The damned elf. His cursed charm and his flawless appearance. Thanks the heavens they had run into a similar wall. Nicolas freed her from his light grip and eagerly approuched the wall, a grin plastered on his face.
Jamie couldnt help but smile as she watched the male examine the wall. It seemed he was as excited as she to find what could be waiting for them at the end of this tunnel. Treasure. She could only imagine the piles of gold coins and precious gems. The thought made her shiver.
Running up beind Nicolas, her heels clicking as she did so, she halted at his side, gazing at the wall for another riddle or something of the kind.
The riddle came into view and Jamie frowned, straining to think this one over. She sighed, letting her breath out from between her lips as she leaned ont he walla nd slid down it. She was now sitting ont he floor, head rested on her knees as she thought.
" I have no ideas, Nicolas." She admitted, looking up to the elf.

As Nicolas viewed the door at a closer angle, he realised there were similar words carved into the wall. The writing was familiar and quickly the elf realised this door had been engraved in the common language as well! With a determined expression on his face, the male examined the words and resaid them quietly to himself. He did not wish to allow Jamie's vision to spot his riddle as he felt it was his place to answer this door's words. "Box?" He questioned himself, nearly stumped over what the hell the answer could have been.
Leaning against the wall near the door, he crossed his arms and opened his eyes, imagining what the answer could have possibly been. He hoped Jamie would not shout out the word that would be so clear to her. If the woman continued to lead them through the tunnels, the male would feel a hint of guilt as he scavenged for the treasure that she had earned herself. With his pride on the line, the man continued to think, when suddenly, as if it had been clear all along, the answer came to him, "An egg."
With an unamused expression, the man watched the door, awaiting for some sort of response.

The ground rumbles under Jamie and Nicolas, much like it did at the first door, the carvings on the door glow green as did the other door. The door slides to the right revieling more darkness past the door, probably not a pleasing sight.
Nicolas and Jamie have another 10 minute break before they can go to the next door.

Jamie cringed as she listened to door skid across the floor. She stood quickly, for she had been leaning against the door that was now vanishing. Her sky blue eyes widened as she stood and looked to Nicolas. One of her thin brows arched and she chuckled.
" An egg?!" She shook her head, not even sure how he could have known such a thing. She laughed once more and took a few steps towards the male. " Well, I thought we were stumped for a moment there."
Jamie's bangs had been growing since they had left port on the Dementia. They now were beginning to frame her face and slightly hide her eyes as she looked to Nicolas. Jamie fought not to look at the tunnel, for she already knew what was there. Nothing.

Nicolas kept his arms crossed and upon realising that he had spoken the correct answer, had gained much of his cocky-behavior back again. With a dashing grin, he continued through the dark hallway, at least one step ahead of Jamie. If the woman guessed the third riddle, he would not hold it against her, but if he could, he would attempt to answer it himself. The fact that he was one step closer to the treasure because of a faint memory in the back of his mind was reason enough to smile. He had aided in leading them to the treasure.
Turning back to ensure that the short skirted woman was following, the male offered his own remark now, "You don't plan on lagging behind now, lass, do ye?" His voice was somewhat taunting as if now, although the two were on a team, they were battling one another for the answers. Although his grin remained, his eyes looked forward soon after speaking to Jamie, determined to come across a third door.
