LXG: China. By elven emma
The Nautilus came up, out of the water like a sword from an ancient myth. The League walked down the ramp and took their first steps on land. Nemo wasn't quite so happy to see that everyone was actually glad to be off his beloved ship. However even Nemo had to admit that it was nice to be able to get fresh air and have a chance to be somewhere different.
A man was stood waiting for them.
'I bet that's him isn't it?' said Skinner
'How did you guess?' said Mina sarcastically.
'I think the smart suit and the serious look gave it away,' said Sawyer who walked up to him, 'Are you Mr Thwait?'
'I am indeed. You arrived just on time. Will you follow me? We have things to discuss at the Embassy.'
Helen couldn't believe it, this was the same place she had been to five years ago. There were so many bad memories of the place where she first got her abilities. The harm she had done, the destruction she had caused....
'I harmed those closest to me...'
The roof of the temple exploded, making a shower of rubble as a huge dragon burst through. The dragon circled and became just a shadow. Within the shadow was a figure, a woman. She flew towards the village, breathing fire, causing roaring flames. There was so much destruction.
'Helen? Is that you?' The woman came towards her friend, a fellow traveller. The dragon tried to feed on her flesh but Helen faught back. The other woman ran. Helen knelt down and cried. Rain fell and drenched the flames. Steam rose to the sky and rain mixed in with Helen's tears.
... 'Miss Hardings?' Nemo was holding on to her shoulder and looking at her with concern. 'Are you alright?'
'Yes thank you.' Nemo walked with her towards the two horses and carriages. Sawyer got in the first carriage with Thwait followed by Skinner and Helen. Jekyll helped Mina in to the second and Nemo went in after them, closing the small door as he went. The horses stomped their feet and began to move forwards.
The carriages pulled up infront of the Embassy building that was the exact copy of the one in London. Mr Thwait led them to a large exquisite room with a long table at its centre. Mr Thwait sat himself at the end of the table and the League found themselves seats.
'The people here claim to have a seen a large ghost, a shadow. They say it has been here before and it caused a lot of damage. Apparently people were even killed.'
His words hurt her like a dagger. The guilt was too much. Suddenly from within her mind came a laugh. A laugh she hadn't heard since the League had taken here in.
Skinner looked over the table at Helen. She had the same look about her that Jekyll sometimes had. He became worried that she was still ill. He wanted to help her, but what could he do except feel guilty that he should have done more for her.
'Last time this happened the "shadow" came from a temple in the jungle.'
'I know it.' Said Helen quietly. It suddenly clicked in everyone's minds of where this place was. This temple was where Helen had got the spell book. Strangely Mr Thwait didn't look very surprised. He knew of the League's tour of the world on Nemo's Nautilus. China must have been one of the places they visited.
'Well then!' said Sawyer, 'Let's get going.' Sawyer wanted to show Mina that he was in control, but sadly no one seemed to be jumping up and following. Mina gave him a little grin. 'Come on you guys let's go.'
'If I must.' Said Skinner getting up out of his seat and everyone else did the same.
The carriages were waiting outside and they were taken to the jungle. Mr Thwait led them through and they came to the temple. Its white stone walls were now green with moss. Ivy hung down the walls. Large stone steps led up to the entrance.
'Sow what exactly are we looking for?' asked Sawyer.
'A clue of some sort or the spirit itself.' Said Nemo.
'Alright then, lets split up.'
'Erm excuse, perhaps I could be some help.' Said Mr Thwait, ' I'm quite familiar with this place, I've looked around it before.'
'Fine then you can come with me, Mina you can..'
'Handle myself. I'll go alone.'
'I'll go with Nemo then.' Said Jekyll, not wanting to go with Skinner and slightly saddened he couldn't go with Mina. So six of them went in to the temple, leaving Helen and Skinner.
'Looks like it's just you and me then.' Said Skinner as Helen walked ahead.
Sawyer and Mr Thwait came to a stone stand in the middle of a small room. Markings and symbols covered the walls. One of the stones in the walls, looked slightly out of place. Sawyer pulled at it. The wall on the far side of the room slid to one side, revealing another stand. However unlike the first it still had a spell book on it. The book was old and leather bound. A medallion was placed on the cover. It had the symbol of a dragon on it. All Sawyer could say was 'Whoa.' He began looking at the markings on the wall again. There was a dragon breathing fire. The people below it were running for their lives. 'This kinda looks like what those villagers were talking about.' Sawyer was completely memorized by the strange picture. Suddenly he felt a huge pain in the back of his head and everything went black.
