Welcome to Gaia! ::

Why was he-

Omigod. Tomoko made a small noise of embarrassment as Erebus took of his vest to give it to her, flushing several shades of pink that just shouldn't have existed (especially on her flesh). "Oh..I..." her voice cracked as she took the vest, pulling it around her shoulders and buttoning it quickly because her chastity was totally at risk of exposure there.

But having the vest buttoned over her Chiton at least made her feel better. "Thankyou..."

Uru shrugged his pack over his shoulder, milling what was inside through his head. Shaking it, it did not seem as important anymore. The youth came up to Maple's side, a member of the Black Kingdom. A shadow. It apparently did not freak out his fellow Silver that a being of black was near him as it did him initially.

"You alright, shadow?" he questioned as he approached. Beside the girl, he glanced around the ceiling this time. "Miasma came up from the ground during the first time the tower fell." Looking toward the lake, he placed a hand into it. Warm water and it certainly protected them from the fall. "Do you think it came from the lake? The miasma, I mean. Silver doesn't trade miasma... but we had such a huge reserve down here. The King must have known about it considering the treasures here..."

[[Still at the Chalice]]

Mjoll stood there looking at the words below the Chalice, speak my role? Her brow lofted as she looked at it.

"Chalice" She spoke to the Chalice wondering if the question was a trick. Hoping maybe something would happen.

It was warm? He wasn’t sure but he felt as if the substance that he had landed in was warm or maybe it was merely his imagination that he was simply telling himself that it was warm. At least the water seemed more appealing than the one back in the violet kingdom. At least they weren’t dead, unless they had died in a blink of an eye, or died again that was.

He made his way to the surface looking around as others were moving fidgeting with things like some sort of weird chalice. There was no point in trying to that too many crowded around. There was also a group around a gate, and others that appeared to be coming in and out of it.
No, he would pass on that as well, instead he swam to the edge next to Agsil.

“Looks like we made it, and I am ok. You?” He replied sitting down. Pausing for a moment he started to dig into the dirt around the water.

Aiden left the water after finding what lay below it to be disappointing. He had missed what had happened at the gate thanks to being under water at the time. He then wondered over to the walls where some other people were to peer in curiosity at them.

The chest seemed strange and different in design, and when he inspected the keyhole, Erebus came to the conclusion that their keys probably wouldn't open it. And the treasures certainly didn't feel like Miasma.

So where...?

"It's okay." He said, moving to her side now to peer at the chalice she had been investigating. "The role of the chalice of the Silver King, huh? To quench his thirst, perhaps?"

The walls proved to be quite interesting, but she wasn't quite sure how useful the information they provided was. The etchings were difficult for her to make out, but the story they told was a familiar one.

Shaheen investigated the walls at length, attempting to read and discover anything more useful, tracing her fingers along the etchings.

"You were Silver's hope." Uru growled as the voice spoke to his mind once again. Damn chalice. If he was right, something happened down here that caused the miasma to rupture through the ground, collapsing the tower. If that was the case, the chalice is better off going to another kingdom. The further it was from him the better. Uru crossed his arm and remained where he was. Rather be around and close to those he was familiar with.
