~ Dark Takeover: Chapter 8 ~
"Hey come on, this way," Hiei said in his usual monotone voice, pointing towards what used to be the doorway of the temple. Or so it seemed.
As the three walked in they could tell the temple used to be something grand. Very grand. The walls were made of limestone and marble, and had countless carvings and beautiful patterns all over them. There were old torch holders, and at the front of the temple was an alter. It seemed to be made of gold.
"WOW!! Lookie at all the sparkly jewels!!" Miya exclaimed, her eyes sparkling at the sight of jewels. Hiei and Aklyis sweatdropped. The shorter raven-haired girl ran up to the alter and began to run her fingers over the precious stones imbedded there. Miya blinked as her eyes landed on a particularly large one. "Hey Aki look at this one.I think it's a giant sapphire!"
Aklyis walked up to her sister and knelt down beside her, examining the stone for herself. "I think you're right. But don't play with it too much. Those things are bad news."
Miya nodded as she gave the giant sapphire a stroke and stood up. "Huh? What's that?" Looking up at the wall above the doorway Miya noticed a familiar pattern. "Hey...that's the same pattern of jewels on the alter!" Running up to the doorway Miya looked up to take a closer look. "Hey Hiei! Can you get those jewels from up there for me?!"
Hiei glared at the girl.
"Please?"
"My Lord, what shall we do? Shall we go after them?"
There was a pause as the twisted Lord thought over his plan of action.
"Yes, we shall. We cannot allow them to retrieve the Solaris Jewel from the temple. It is what we have been searching for. And it shall be ours." The statement was followed by soft cackle that shot fear into the on looking soldiers.
Miya squinted ferociously as she examined the jewels Hiei had taken off the wall for her.
"Why don't you try sticking them in those wholes over there?" Hiei asked with a bored look on his face.
"I'm just about to do that. If you'd be quiet and let me concentrate," the raven-haired girl retorted back. Hiei just rolled his eyes at the comment
'How much concentration does she need to stick an ordinary rock into an ordinary hole?' He thought to himself.
As Miya slowly inserted the precious stones into the holes something began to happen. The ground and walls began to shake around them. A cracking sound came from the ceiling and as the three looked up, the last thing they saw was the unstable stone falling down, right at them.
Two blood red eyes cracked open and looked around at the blurry surroundings. As Hiei's eyesight adjusted he wobbled to his feet, trying to remember what had happened. 'The ceiling fell..and then I woke up. We're still in the temple. Speaking of we..where are those two human girls...'
Hiei walked around a little until he could smell the scent of one. After digging through some rocks and rubble, he came across Aklyis.
The girl groaned slightly as she cracked open one brown eye, looking up at Hiei. Slowly regaining her memory, she opened her other eye, revealing that it was an icy light blue. Hiei blinked a few times. He had never noticed her eyes were two different colours until now. How strange.
"M-Miya." the already exhausted teenager managed to croak out.
"I'll find her," Hiei said trying to sound reassuring.
"No need to!" a cheery bright voice exclaimed from the front of the temple. Miya stuck her tongue out at Hiei, "Hey look here! There's a passage that opened!"
Hiei scowled to himself, "How can you possibly be smiling at a time like this?"
The short perky girl's bright royal blue eyes didn't fade however, "Because I think I found something! Help Aki and let's go!" and with that she scampered off into the dark newly discovered passage.
Still scowling, Hiei strode over to where Aklyis lay, and hauled her up on his back.
"You better be grateful, I don't usually give people piggy-back rides." Aklyis smiled to herself, "You should also be grateful. I don't usually let people give me any."
Hiei 'humphed' as he carried the brunette into the passage where Miya had disappeared a few moments earlier, "This dumb hall thing better not be too long. I want to get out of here!"
"Come on! Let's hurry! We don't want those kids getting the Solaris Jewel do we?!"
"No Sir!" the mass of soldiers yelled at once to their captain.
"The Lord has sent us to deliver him the Solaris Jewel and those kids! Let's get moving men!"
Miya sighed ferociously as the three teens traveled through the pitch-black passage in the temple. "Are we there yet?" she whined for the third time already.
"How the hell should I know, onna? It's not like I've been here before. Now quit whining and walk before I step on your heels," Hiei snapped.
Miya yelped as the fire demon carried out his threat and began stomping at Miya's heels, and began to walk faster. This time, with her mouth shut.
"Hey..I think I see light." Aklyis interrupted their squabbling in a groggy tone.
As they approached the light grew brighter, slowly revealing an ancient room with glassless windows and plenty of cracks and holes allowing sunlight to shine through. The walls were decorated with ancient paintings of what seemed to be gods and demons of the old world. They were once colourful and bright. Blue, red, gold, and silver were now faint and dull on the stonewalls. Thieves had stripped the room of gold statues and other precious stones that were imbedded in the walls. All that was left was a pedestal with strange writing on it, in the middle of the room.
Miya walked up to the pedestal and tried to make out the ancient writing "Kadama Raktihmus, Metalli Corentus.What the heck is that supposed to mean?!"
"It means..Here lies the light, the light of the people." Aklyis answered. She had been riding on Hiei's back the whole time, and was becoming more and more exhausted with each passing minute. "I..I think I hurt myself really badly back there." She spoke, the world around her becoming more difficult to stay with. The clear words inscribed on the pedestal were now becoming blurry and hard to read. The voice of her sister was fading away now.
'Fading, Fading The world is a crimson red Like the blood from these wounds The shadow follows my footsteps And eternal enigma before me..'
Her voice was lost, and she could not hear or see. Aklyis had fallen into the darkness, and was afraid she would not return to the light.
A/N: *sigh * finally finished!!! Ok guys...R&R!!! fi dee la!!!!
