Chapter Two: The Water Temple
With out even wavering I ran to the waters and plunged myself under the waves. It seemed my new wings had disappeared; I could call them back once I reached the ground. The temple entrance seemed to be deep in the ocean. It was a colossal circular shape. My best guess would be guess would be it was 50 miles of open space. I swam into it and emerged from the waters. I was standing before a large door; I started to feel to a certain extent rather peculiar. I opened the massive doors before me and behind them I saw nothing but black, except two small red lights too distant to make out....it was almost like it was looking straight at me....it was moderately fear-provoking.
A moment later the room seemed to lighten up. There where 7 pools, which aligned into two triangles, but one pool in the between them both. In the first triangle there were red, orange, and yellow; in the second were blue indigo and purple; the one by itself was green. I noticed a color in the door it seemed to be a blue-green color.
'Gabriel you have to mix the colors to that color on top of the door to get to the Reiðrt place.' I see. So the first one, I have to mix the amount of colors to get blue-green. I went to the pool and dived in to the blue light switch. I discerned when I got down there that on the blue switch it said '0%'...I am guessing I'll need to mix the appropriate amount of each color to get it. So I put at about 50%. I got back up and dived into the green pool. I also set it to 50%. I rose above the water. I heard a noise that seemed to confirm it and the door opened. I walked through the door, same circumstances as the last room. It was exactly the same as the last room, only this time the color on top of the door was yellow-orange. I did the same thing. I set the orange and yellow both at 50%, and the noise came to confirm it once again and the doors opened. The Reiðrt room was much bigger for some reason, same pools, only I didn't notice a purple. I did find it...at the top of the door. In my life I had studied art, and if this is correct, I'd need the correct amount of blue and red....if I add too much blue, it'll become a bluish purple. So this time I had set the blue to 30% and the red to 70%. When I got up the door opened with out the sound I had gotten use to.
In the Reiðrt room, I saw....Xavier. Another collaborator of mine. "Xavier is that actually you?"
"Yes...Gabriel hath you come to take my life?"
"Yes, I have...old friend?" I said indecisively to him.
"Then I beg you...take it."
"So freely? Tell me, does Kyrohce really want me dead? I found it hard to believe when I was resurrected..."
"Yes....since his advisor came he has been diluted with poison from that man. Now kill me! Before it takes over again." He walked before me and kneeled to his knees, with his neck exposed. I raised the Reiðr, and attempted to strike his throat. As I raised my sword I realized where those red lights came from, it was...his eyes! They have turned red.
I felt something seized him. As I went down on the strike he smacked the sword out of my hand, I started to run for the sword but he caught my leg as he stood, but he meets my other foot in a round house kick. It stunned him, enough time for me to get my sword and vanish into the darkness of the ceilings. I was waiting for him to come my way. As he did I called my wings out and went full speed to attack his throat. I pierced his throat right on; as I did I called off my wings and landed on the ground unharmed.
As he stifled I watched him, the life being drained out of him....this one, did not deserve to die. I wish I hadn't of killed him; in a way though I was happy I did before he could kill me. When the sword was finished, he turned into ash and blew away. I took my sword and pierced my own heart so I could gain his powers.
When I was done, it seemed I had the power to control water....even rain. Mix in water and wind; I could make a powerful hurricane or typhoon. It was extraordinary powers. The temple started to quaver; I saw an opening out of the place and I took it. The temple fell to rubble. I then heard the voice of Xavier.
"Please kill Kyrohce's advisor."
It seemed the Reiðrt temple was up north....one that is most forgotten about...the Blizzard Sanctuary .....I ascend above water to see a pirate ship. I raised my arms to get its attention. They did notice, and I was glad they started to come for me. It took the ship awhile but sure enough it did get to me. The captain stood by the deck. "What are ya doing down there laddie?" He spoke with a Scottish accent.
"I just came from the Water Temple; I am headed for the Blizzard Sanctuary."
"Hop on board we're headed that way anyway. He says as he throws me down a rope. I caught and climbed aboard it.
"Thank you kind sir." I said to him.
"What's your name lad?"
"Gabriel."
"I am captain Murphy, welcome aboard my ship." I felt warm and welcoming he gave me....though coming with the comfort feeling came the hunger once again; its darkness wrapped me in its aloofness. "Do you want a tour of the ship?"
"No...I am drained..."
"Let me show ya where you can sleep."
"Thank you once again kind sir." He led me into a cabin of the ship, down some stairs. In a room he had for me was a pile of hey with a blanket laid over it....apparently; this was all these could get. I would not complain though.
