[i]The Guardian had been taken to just outside the entrance; The cave itself was a Darkness Zone. [/i]

Edited by Splashback77: 12/27/2017 12:55:56 AM"Oh dear," she muttered. She took a step closer to the cave.
-
[i]The cave hummed with a dark energy - It didn't feel Taken, but it felt dark, and radiated evil. [/i]
-
She took a step back, setting her left hand alight with Solar Light, then slowly entered the cave, walking through it.
-
[i]The cave was cold and wet at first, droplets echoing as they fell from the pointed rooftop staglimites and fell onto the rocky floor below. As she progressed deeper and deeper, she saw crates; Makeshift campsites with firepits at first, then mounds of glowsticks and rations. Eventually they stopped, with just torches lighting the way. [/i]
-
"Hel- hel-lo?" Phoebe asked, her blonde hair being illuminated, "I... I have... I have... your ramen. Please don't kill me." Ganymede appeared, "We're both gonna die. I'm terrified." Phoebe shivered, "M-m-me too."
-
[i]"Come on down, but... Watch your step," a voice called out to Phoebe, each syllable of his word echoing off the entrance to the cave. He sounded low-toned and rough; No doubt it was Polaris. [/i]
-
She carefully watched the ground as she tread, still carrying the ramen carefully.
-
[i]Eventually she would come upon a cavern, rather large but closed off; A circular shaped room, with a flat floor and lights hanging out of the walls every few feet, illuminating the centre of the room. Crates laid about the place, some with maps on them, and one with Polaris looking down. The white hair of the Warlock hanged down by his shoulders and off his light skinned face as he scanned the maps on a crate facing Phoebe, the single scar running across his right eye making the blue irises stand out. Well, that was one thing that did it, the other was his electric blue Heiro Camo outfit that he had on. [/i]
-
She set down the ramen next to him. Her hazel eyes reflected the light, and her blonde hair absorbed it, making it shine like gold. Her Wings of Dawn robes were equally as bright in its more goldenrod color. "Ganymede," she whimpered quietly. Her dark grey and appeared to be cratered (it really wasn't), Ghost was shivering as much as she was. "We're both gonna die!" He wailed, hiding behind her shoulder.
-
[i]"Really? You see a Warlock and you instinctively think you'll die? By the Traveler, I can't tell whether or not you two actually have a brain cell between you." Polaris spoke rather rudely, but with an aura of confidence that surrounded him, as well as a slight bit of electrostatic air - Which was visible when Phoebe's hair started to rise up somewhat. She managed to set the food down next to the gun of Polaris; His own Bad Juju, radiating done form of Hive energy from it. At his hip appeared to be a Hawkmoon, and on his back was a Khvostov. He was old fashioned like that. [/i]

Edited by Splashback77: 2/1/2018 5:11:57 AM"Well, the creepy cave is the first sign of [i]dangerous[/i]," Ganymede argued. Phoebe facepalmed, "Ganymede...." "Then you have a Bad Juju! Which is even more terrifying. What's next, an Exo's head on a silver platter!?" Ganymede asked. "Ganymede.... you melodramtic little p*ssy," she muttered. "You were scared, too." "It's cold in here," she replied.
-
[i]"Well, would it scare you even more if I said I was a scholar of Toland, the Shattered?" Polaris inquired. The question was more to see who the two were; Friends of Toland followers were plenty alright to him, but those who rejected and shunned him, those people had no place in the cave or his research. [/i]
-
"That makes you less scary," Phoebe replied, bluntly. "In [i]your[/i] opinion," Ganymede would retort. The Ghost would go on to rant as Phoebe rolled her eyes and made talking hand gesture on sync with the entire rant.
-
[i]"Your Ghost should watch what he says; And he should also remember what species figured out how to drain Light from Ghosts," Polaris said, gesturing to the energy coming from his Bad Juju. He had no time for Ghosts who talked back. [/i]
-
Ganymede saw the Bad Juju and shut up. "Now I wish I had one to threaten him. He rants about every controversal Warlock you bring up. Osiris, Toland, Ulan-Tan, any member of the Binary Star Cult, and most of all in that category: My mother," Phoebe replied.
-
[i]"What a dullard. Your Ghost lacks ambition, and knowledge - Two things we Guardians deserve, and the universe owes us." [/i]
-
"Lecturing some Titans is starting to sound fun. But my knowledge is in art. But I do dabble, a bit. Much to Ganymede's rants," she replied.
-
[i]"You either do it or you don't - The middle ground is pointless. If you're in for a step, you're in for a mile." Somebody who shared in his ambitions, albeit slightly, was now in his midst. Polaris waved his hand for the Guardian to follow him, and he turned his back to her and approached the back of the cavern; A large portion of the wall was covered by a banner, which appeared to be a Warlock emblem with Hive mist on the corners, slowly creeping in. He grabbed his Bad Juju from the table and looked to the symbol. "What do you see, Guardian?" [/i]
-
"I see mist. Probably a result of a Hive Incantation. It's far from what looks like the Warlocks' reach. But some are closer to it, symbolizing their ambition."
-
[i]"You are correct. And what do we do when we have a goal?" [/i]
-
"We reach our goal. Then set another."
-
[i]"Precisely. And what goals do you have in life?" [/i]
-
"To find my mother. Then, find the truth about everything."
-
[i]"So you want answers? You must ask questions. If you wish to ask questions, you must be worthy enough. And to be worthy enough, you must be powerful enough. In that power, you will gain your knowledge." [/i]
-
"Right," she seemed to know this.
