Chapter 3

As they followed Satis they noticed that they were walking the exact same way they took towards the small lake earlier, just that they changed direction right in the middle of it. They had completely missed the pretty huge stone-temple that lay right in the middle of the forest just a few hundred meters from the path where they were running/flying on earlier.

-How could I have missed this!? It's huge!

Sasuke berated himself. As they were walking towards it Naru started to act strange. She was starting to growl at something but Sasuke couldn't see what it was. Then he noticed it too, the malevolent power that they were getting closer and closer to.

-This is the entryway to Canaletto's prison. It also holds the different portals that are linked to all the different areas and levels of this floating temple.

Satis explained while he continued walking forwards and into the building.

-Wait, what? Floating temple? I thought that this was just a forest. Are you telling me that this whole place is a floating temple!?

Naru exclaimed while staring at him in shock.

-He he he. Yupp! That's exactly right. This whole place is the Avatars temple. That's why it is so big. And it floats where ever he wants it to go so that he can watch over all of creation and make a great entrance too.

He explained all the while chuckling at her expression. Shaking her head to come out of it she started looking around instead. She was still feeling uneasy with all the negative energy and emotions that were permeating the building.

Satis lead them towards a specific area in the temple where he activated a portal. The symbol above it looked like a vertical eye with rounded edges and a dot above it. There was also a pair of somewhat squiggly wings on either side. The whole symbol was glowing in an almost yellow light.

Sasuke noticed a stone circle on the opposite side of the room that had a symbol much like it but more pointy and with a low, red glow instead that was giving of that malevolent feeling that he had felt outside of the building. Nudging Naru he gestured towards it and took in her reaction to it. She frowned at it and almost started growling again like she had been some kind of cornered animal feeling threatened by it.

-Ahem.

Satis cleared his throat gaining their attention again.

-That, my friends is the portal leading to Canaletto's cell. It can only be opened by the Avatar. But now we are heading towards my quarters so that I can show you something that might be able to help you.

Satis turned back towards the portal and went straight through it. Sharing a brief glance between each other Sasuke and Naru soon followed him through the portal and arrived in Satis "living room".

-This way, this way.

They heard him off to their left side and saw him walk out of a doorway. Quickly following suit they then stopped dead in their tracks just outside the door and simply stared.

-This, my friends is your ticket into "The great race of Oban".

He simply stated while patting a strange metal construct that was hovering beside him. (It looks like the Whizzing Arrow but with a few alterations to fit their looks/personalities.)

-…

Finally breaking out of it Naru started bouncing around while firing off questions towards Satis at a high velocity.

-What is that? How does it fly like that? Is it supposed to fly? Why does it look like that? How is this thing going to help us? What are we supposed to do with it? Are we supposed to control it? How do we do that? What's …

She was finally cut off by Sasuke covering her mouth with his hand. When she finally calmed down enough to stop bouncing up and down he said.

-One question at a time please.

Satis seeing her calm once more answered.

-Well in order of your questions: It's a "star-racer ship". It flies by creating a kind of ant-gravitational field around itself so it is pushed off the ground. Yes, it is supposed to fly. I don't really know, it's just designed like that. "This thing" is going to be your vehicle during the race. You're supposed to fly it. I will show you later. Was that all? I think it was.

Naru putt her hand straight into the air making both males sweat-drop at her actions. Sasuke releasing her mouth sighed while asking.

-What is it Naru?

-Can I try it?

She asked with stars in her eyes. Both males dropping to the ground in a "face fault".
