Welcome to Gaia! ::

She moved slowly and carefully, suddenly aware of the life form somewhere in the temple. She moved noiselessly and followed him, though a bit frustrated and filling with a new desire for combat and the like, "What can be for me in these ruins?"

Nini seemed intrigued as she took in the change in environment. She could tell that bad things lie ahead, traps and monsters, "What could be worth the hassle? What weapons lie here?" She spoke quietly and stayed close behind Aryx as she moved, aware of his wariness and taking refuge by following close to him.

Nini kept close behind Aryx as he made his way through the halls of the ancient, decrepit temple. Suddenly he halted and she found her front flush against his back. Her breath came short as their bodies temporarily collided, a brief exchange of warmth occuring and her taking in the feel of her softness against him. She stepped back as he turned and she saw him peering down the hall, searching for something and obviously not as moved by their contact as her. Instead of turning around to look for herself, she felt with her mind, and she sensed it. Whether or not he did, she knew not. Her voice came quietly, "Something's there... it's onto us... I don't know if it's aggressive or a threat... but it's there... how much longer will this take?"

He sighed as he continued down the hall. He hoped to the all maker that it wasn't what the old legends spoke of. Creatures supposedly created by the sith, or having have involved from exposure to extreme amounts of dark side energies. He hoped with all his might that it was not a terentatek. It was obvious that Aryx was becoming increasingly nervouse as they made their way down the halls. His light finaly hit a visible rock serface at the end of the hall. A sence of releife over came him and he swiftly picke dup his pace. It was a door made of stone and metal. Aryx swiftly ran his hands over the surface, rushing for the opening mechanism. Finaly his hand passed over something that gave, a small metal lever. The metal over the stone slid away and the stone parted into four peaces sliding sideways into the stone wall. "If it wasn't following us before it'll come looking for us now. Hurry inside."

He fumbled his feet about on the floor while searching the walls for another switch. Finaly he found one and the stone dore closed, the metal bits extending afterward to secure and reinforce it. He sighed heavly as he turned around, castign the light on his mask about the room. It was large, with no other door ways. The walls were extremly dirty, it smelled of mold, mildew, and age. He smiled under his mask at what he saw in the back of the large ovoid room. A large sarcophocus. "Here, help me open this." He said to Nini as he passed her, side stepping the small reflecting pool in the middle of the room and steppign up to the large, square, stone coffin. He ran hid hands along the edge of one side untill he found the line seperating the stone slab form the container and began trying to push.

Travanor instantly grabed his saber while charging at Seraph. He raised the blade over his head and lowered quick down at him. As he did it he smirked. He wouldn't lose. He refused. He was a little too overconfident though.

Aryx reached out with both hands and took Nini by the shoulders. He held her away and still. His expresion was one of ergency. He shook her slightly. "Nini, contain your self. You will be fine. I don't even know if its dangerous, it could just be a large kinrath. They have also been known to dweel in these old temples. There is nothing to worry about, not yet. Now please...get down and help me open the sarcaphocus. I'll answer all your questions once you do."

He girpped her shoulders tight as he lifted her up off the dusty stone top and turned to the side to set he ron her feet. He paddes her shoulder and waist line to clear it of the dirt and grime she had practicly rolled around in when she climbed atop the stone coffin. He sighed at her once he had cleane dher off. He held his hand out to the side and tugged at the mask through the Force. It shot form the stone floor and flew to his hand. He snatched it form the air, dusted it odff and set it back over his face. "Nini, the coffin contains the remains of a long since dead Sith Knight. He should be burried with his sword. I'm goign to give it to you and train you with it instead of a lightsaber. It is a Sith weapon, not a jedi nore dark jedi weapon. You should have no problem using it. As long as we're in here, what ever is out there-if there is somehtign out there will not get us. Okay? Help me open the coffin." He walked around her, striding over to the coffin edge once more and pushing with all his strength. It gave a little, but that was all. Dust flew up form the fissure as air rushed into the coffin. A strong smell of dirt and mold began to quickly fill the room.
