Disclaimer: You already know it, so.don't make repeat myself all over again.
Summary: The explorers start their journey to the temple of Malacan.
Author's Notes: Thank you so much for the reviews.
Dreama, thanks for calling me a good writer; although I don't share the same opinion, I think I'm just a person with too much imagination.
A. Windsor, thank you for appreciating my work.
Pamiekae, I'm well aware of the misspellings, but I already explained that I don't really use to reread my work because I want to post it as soon as possible, but I also said that I'll try to read from now on, so I think that there will be a lot less mistakes. As for the Roxton's character, I really appreciate your honesty, and I'm looking forward to explore that missing part, but maybe you could tell me what it's missing, it would really help a lot, because I'm trying really hard to make my characters believable. Oh, and by the way: THANKYOU!! For putting me under of favourite authors and favourite stories, you have no idea of what that means to me!!
TheChosenOne3, you'll just have to read it to find that out. (The part of Marguerite and that Avatar dude)
SierraSunshine, thank you sooo much for your review, I mean.you're just too much!!! Thanks for calling me a genius, but let's be reasonable, I'm not worth that much! I also appreciate your attentive to make me a ruler of some large part of land, but really you don't want to THAT! I'm really greedy, and believe me, on the first chance I got, I would kill you with a knife on your back, and then I would rule the entire world myself!!!! (I'm just joking about the killing part, don't take this personally)
The Quest
They had left Avalon two days ago. They were still thinking about the events that occurred in the past few months. Marguerite's disappearance, Avalon, the revelations that they heard from Abigail, their quest.
It sounded all too unreal to be true, and Challenger was the most revolted person that had ever existed on earth. How in God's name could he believe on that? He was a man of science, he lived, believed and defended all his live that there was no such thing as supernatural forces, mythical powers, ghosts, witches, but yet, on this plateau, he had already seen everything, of course he always made some sort of excuse to disbelieve in those things, saying that there was always a scientific explanation, but the problem, and yes, he considerate it a huge problem, was that he couldn't come up with on single logical explanation right now. And that was killing him, how could he, being him such a great scientist, not have an explanation, to him it sounded an outrage.
But Challenger wasn't the only one with troubled thoughts on his mind, Roxton himself couldn't stop thinking that something was wrong, and that they were things that Abigail hidden from them. He didn't know why, but he had this feeling that there was something else, something that they had the right to know.
Malone as well was apprehensive, Abigail's words about Morrighan and her Guardian concerned him, he knew that Roxton would never do such a thing, but something on the back of his mind told him to watch out. He learned in his self-discovery journey that life is full of little surprises.
His thoughts were interrupted by Roxton's voice:
"Someone's out there."
"Really where?" asked Finn
"There!" Veronica pointed out to two male forms coming to their direction.
"Keep your rifles ready and aimed." The hunter instructed to the others
As the strangers approached they realized that they were Avatars.
"We've come to escort you to the Malacan temple."
"No thank you, we'll find it ourselves." Roxton said recognizing the Avatar as being the one who interrupted his conversation with Marguerite the other day.
"But that could take weeks; we don't know which way to go, yes Gaalad we accept your help." Marguerite said sending Roxton a what's-the matter-with- you, look.
"No we don't." Roxton objected
"Roxton." Marguerite started
"We have to, Marguerite's right; we don't which way to go." Challenger interrupted sensing a fight coming in.
Roxton had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
....................................
Veronica and Ned, were doing the watch after Roxton almost obligate them to it, and the others were in separate sides of the camp, Challenger and Finn were sit by the fire and Roxton and Marguerite had retired a little while ago.
"Ned? What are you thinking about?" asked Veronica, "You've this look on your face."
"Nothing particularly.well.I'm thinking about what your mother said back in Avalon, you know, that thing about Morrighan's Guardian."
"Yeah.but you can't be possibly doubting of Roxton, I mean, he would never do that kind of stuff to Marguerite, he obviously likes too much."
Ned smiled at her comment.
"Yeah? Well I doubt he likes her as much as I like you?" he said kissing her
When they broke the kiss, Veronica giggled.
"Yeah, well tell him that! Have you seen the way he treats that Avatar? Every time Gaalad comes near Marguerite, Roxton's eyes look like they are coming out. He's really jealous." She said grinning
"Yeah, "Malone grinned too, "I guess so.but it's normal I think, I mean Roxton and Marguerite have been apart for several months."
"So have we, but still neither you nor I, acted that way, and trust me, Finn really thinks you're cute!"
Malone laughed.
"Nah, she doesn't have a chance, I have only eyes for you."
....................................
"Challenger?"
"What is it Finn?"
"So what do you think about all of this?"
"Honestly?" she nodded, "I think this is madness!! In the last days, I heard and saw things whish I always believed that didn't exist!!"
"Face it Challenger! You can't have an explanation for everything!"
"But still."
"Challenger, drop it! You can't think that now!! We have to worry about something else."
"What?" Challenger's face become very serious
"Well, I don't about you but.that thing that Vee's mother said about Marguerite and Roxton.." She started
"You know that Roxton would never do something like that!" Challenger exclaimed
"Yeah I know! Let me finish, I think that back in that time.it wasn't Roxton."
"You mean someone else set a trap for him?" Challenger asked
"Yeah, something like that."
"Well it has a certain logic.hm.but why him?" he wondered aloud
"There's something else.I've been thinking.why wouldn't the old guys believe in Roxton, I mean, didn't Vee's mother said that they were all surprised?"
"Yes, that's true, I wonder why.good thought Finn, I'm proud of you." Challenger said." I guess we'll have to try and figure out that, when we get back to Avalon, we'll ask Mrs. Layton right away. Now let's get some sleep. The Avatars said that tomorrow night we'll reach the Temple, so I'm guessing that we'll have a full day walk ahead of us."
....................................
Marguerite stirred in her sleep. Roxton who was holding her felt her breathing fastening and tried to wake her up.
"Marguerite?" he touched her cheek, "My love?" he gave her a gentle kiss, and tried again," It's alright darling, I'm here." He saw her troubled expression calm down a little and went back to sleep holding even tightly.
....................................
They got up early in the mourning and started their journey with the Avatars leading them.
Sometimes Gaalad came near Marguerite asking if she was alright but soon as he saw Roxton's look, he quickly joined his partner.
"Marguerite, are you okay?" asked Veronica when they were doing a break "You look tired."
The heiress thoughts quickly wondered to her nightmare. The vision of death everywhere, Avalon destroyed, and worst of all, Roxton's dead body in her arms.
"No I'm fine. I just didn't sleep that well last night."
"Yes, I felt you stirring, are you sure you're okay?" Roxton asked with a note of concern in his voice.
"Why Lord Roxton, is that worry that I hear in your voice?" she teased.
"Why Marguerite I thought you didn't care." he teased back" Now seriously, you're sure you're okay?
"Yeah, I'm fine; it was just a dream."
"That's odd. Last night I had a really weird dream myself. I think it was Malacan temple, it was surrounded by ice at least." Veronica confessed
"Really? And what did you saw?" asked Ned
"Always the journalist Neddy boy" Teased Roxton
"You can bet on that." he answered. Then looked back to his beloved, "Well?"
"Nothing special, actually I just saw it from the outside, and then I saw what seemed like an empty room, with a door that connect it to another one but when I tried to got trough there, I couldn't."
"That's because Morrighan must enter first." Said the Avatar
"Why Gaalad?" asked Marguerite
"It's like a tradition that cannot be broken, no one except for Morrighan and those who she allow to accompany her can enter there." He explained
....................................
By the end of the day they reached the temple's entrance.
"It's here, we should leave you now." Gaalad said, "Only you can enter there. We have to go back to Avalon.a warning...this may be an Avatar Temple but this place has been abandoned for a long time, we don't know if it has possible dangers. Be careful." The last sentence was to Marguerite as he eyed Roxton.
The group parted and the explorers approached the doorways to the temple, and Marguerite stopped.
"What is it?" Asked Roxton
"I see them, enemies.they are in there."
"We don't have a chance, we have to go there, I mean, there's no other way, is there?" said Finn
"No Finn, we just have to be careful," Ned said as he touched the doorway, "I see them too, but they're frozen, they mustn't have bared the heat."
"I don't know.there's something wrong about them, whatever you do, don't touch them." Marguerite warned
"Why?" Challenger inquired
"They are some sort of.un-dead. They react to the touch and body heat, so let's try not to disturb them." She explained
"Why would such things be here?" asked Roxton
"The enemy, it would do anything for us not to find that key." Said Challenger
"Yes." Agreed Malone
"Alright then its settle: nobody touches anything and we'll be safe." Said Roxton
"Then what are we waiting for, it's freezing out here." They all chuckled at Marguerite's complain. It was good to have her back.
Slowly Veronica pulled the door and they entered.
