When all that you had left was to keep trying, it made things easier. She comforted herself in the fact that her legs were going to look even sexier after all of this working out; and at that very moment, she hit dry land, and let out a crack of laughter before collapsing to the ground to catch her breath.

Both of her hands rose up in the air, silently flipping off any MALICIOUS INCOMING WAVES.

At least Maebe was there. Sighing, Dawson gathered enough strength to pull himself from one patch of mud and straight into another patch of angry water vines.

Eventually, wheezing, Dawson pulled himself to try land and collapsed. Wriggling out of his backpack, he fumbled with the zipper, yanked out the water, and split the snackbar in half. He immediately began to eat his portion while offering the other to Maebe.

Champions.

She laughed again when she heard Dawson's body squelch as it hit the ground, and she crawled over to him ferally as he pulled food out of his backpack. When she reached him, she flopped down against his stomach hard, and rested the side of her face against it while eating the offered snack. As tired as she was, something about the situation had given her the giggles. She almost choked on her snack bar, and reached out for the water to wash it down with.

When she took a sip, she pulled the water bottle away from her lips and closed her eyes. It felt cold, and tingly, and refreshing. She opened her eyes again, and something rested on the lip of the bottle. Something white and wiggly and absolutely bug-like, inches away from her face.

With an ear-piercing scream, Maebe dropped the bottle and scrambled away, but it was too late. They were hard as rocks, but they were still crawling all over her body, despite how many times she slapped the scarabs away. Now this was a nightmare.

He grinned and was going to crack a joke about mud wrestling--which was probably now ruined thanks to this stupid temple--when she shrieked. Choking on the water, Dawson hastily threw it in the bag and summoned his shield to try and fend off the scarabs. And that's when he heard that familiar bark at his back.

Nononononono--

The ones in her hair had been the hardest to get out. Maebe shuddered repeatedly, continually scratching her skin where phantom feelings of bugs still tingled, until she saw Dawson speed by with that cerberus at his heels. She opened her mouth to say something, but no words ever came out. Before she could do anything, a massive hydra burst out from the lake, reared its head in a mighty swing, and came down on the cerberus with a snap of its jaws. The cerberus was gone, and Dawson was still running -

Which was probably the right idea.

Maebe was frozen with fear as the hydra's gigantic body stomped past her, and began to chomp down on everything in sight. It's tail barely managed to miss swiping her, jarring her into action and sending her running back into the dreaded lake and towards the entrance to the temple. It would be a long time before she stopped.

Quote:
Instant death (for everyone, game over). The hydra appears, consuming all in its wake.

Stupid temple.

Unfortunately statues could apparently read thoughts because the two didn't get to sneak into the murky water room unscathed this time. With a sharp series of cracks, one of the lion statues yanked itself from the wall and roared.

The trainee squeaked in response.

(Maybe it was because he in fact did not have his shirt off that they had this terrible fate.)

Dawson wasn't saying anything, on their way back to the temple, which made it very hard for Maebe to complain about the fact that he'd lied about his shirt coming off. She would have found a way, if not for the giant marble lion that they'd passed three times previously - who suddenly decided that, hey, they looked like they weren't worth the temple anymore. Maybe they needed a giant marble paw swipe or two.

Maebe tugged Thaw's fire emblem off of her chain and squeezed it, wincing at the burning sensation against her skin while the trident took shape past her fingertips. His body was golden, molten lava, unfurling those little wings and flapping them majestically once before solidifying into metal and runes in her hands. She gripped the handle with both hands, and took on a surprisingly ready offensive stance.

"He's just pissed your shirt's still on." She muttered. (And so was she.)

Without warning, Maebe ran for the marble statue, stabbing the trident prongs into its hard, unforgiving flesh. Sarcasm and laziness bled away in place of that rare moment when Maebe was ready to work. Take a picture, it will last longer.

She reared up several steps before lunging again, plunging the trident into the lion over and over. Thaw was not a versatile weapon (or perhaps it was she who lacked the imagination to find out how versatile he could be, he reminded her sullenly).

In a stunning turn of events, Maebe stabbed the lion again.

Thaw contemplated getting her a book on how to be creative.

Either Dawson was too embarrassed about not being shirtless, too nervous at the idea of stripping for a stupid lion statue, or too afraid to get in the way as Maebe skewered the thing with violent glee. Or all three.

Red faced, he attempted to join the fray and whiffed so bad, the shame was a physical blow to his shield. He was sure Mabee would be judging him on his performance problems.
