Chapter 2: Pondering the Question
Normal POV
Takuitsu and Kyra stared at the tablets for a few more seconds in shock. Takuitsu was the one to break the silence. "W-w-where did you find those?" he asked in an excited tone. "I found them on an archeological dig with my partners in Korea," Raymundo answered. He sat in silence for a moment then continued."I haven't told anyone yet except you and your lovely sister." "I am not sure if the people who attacked me today knew and if they did, how?" he said mysteriously.
Takuitsu's POV
I was speechless for so long. I mean who would have thought that yoou could find the keys to one of the world's greatest mysteries just by going on a dig. I mean you'd think they'd be guarded or something. "It is quite possible that someone saw them when you took them out of the ground," Kyra said finally speaking after so long. "That is very true, even though I didn't see anyone watching me it is very possible that someone was spying on me," Raymundo said angrily.
Ray's POV
The whole time we were talking I was pondering the question. Would it be appropriate to ask now, or should I try and gain his trust? I asked myself. Finally I made up my mind. If the dumbasses from the alley knew of his treasure then I had no time to lose. I needed to beat them to the temple and I needed protection just in case they tried to steal them again. I knew that the temple held great powers and the tablets shouldn't fall into the wrong hands, because if they did then the world could be in terrible danger. "Now that I have shown you the tablets I have a favour to ask of you," I started getting a nervous feeling. What if he said no? What would I do then? "I need a companion with great abilities to accompany me to the temple and so far I have no one, except for you. Will you come with me?"
Takuitsu's POV
This question struck me as a shock, though I knew I wanted to go with this man immediately I wasn't going to just jump into things. Plus, I wasn't planning to go alone. I needed to see if Kyra wanted to go as well so I decided to ask her, but not in front of Ray. "I need to speak to my sister in private, if you wouldn't mind, please wait outside the door," I said to Ray. Ray stood up and left the meditation area and closed the door behind him. "What's wrong? Too chicken to go on this mission?" she asked in an ignorant tone. "No, I just wanted to see if you wanted to come along for the journey too," I answered. "Really!" Kyra replied in an excited and happy tone. "Oh thank you Tak," she said. "No problem," I said to her. "I could use some help," I said calling Ray back into the room. "Ok, I'll come but only if Kyra can come along for the trip," I told Ray. "Sure," Ray exclaimed. "That is an excellent, we can use as much help as we can get," Ray told us. "Just one question," I said turning to Ray. "Do you have a map to get there or are we going to have to find one?" I asked. Ray opened the box and lifted up the tray on which the tablets sat. under that was a folded sheet of paper, amongst the bunch of squiggly lines there were several dots with names of cities under them and one dot was labelled The Temple in the Crypt. "Good," I said. "That can get rid of some extra work."
Normal POV
So it was settled , tomorrow the trio would set out for a Temple in Crypt,"
