Chapter 7

The next morning I opened my eyes. The sun was rising, the as the birds singing as the flowers bloomed and perfuming the air with their sweet aromas. I yawned, stretching my arms and wings as I welcome it's warmth; I looked around for Greiga and Falzer.

Last night they were arguing who should take the second shift since I already volunteered to take the first shift. After my shift was over. Greiga and Falzer took over the second shift, I noticed they spend their time glaring at eachother and hilarity was they still are. Falzer perched on a tree branch glaring down at Greiga, who was returning his glare from his position on a rock with his back leaning against another tree opposite of Falzer's.

I could tell that they slept little and they are ready to fall asleep soon. "My Lords are you alright?" I inquired.

"We are fine," they said in unison.

"You could use a little sleep," I hinted, "it is dangerous to approach the Maze in this kind of state."

"Bah," murmured Greiga. Falzer humped a little and shook himself like a bird shaking dust off its feathers.

"We must continue our quest," Greiga said getting up.

Falzer scoffed at him. "Since when did you become a leader?"

Not wanting them to fight again I decided to use a new tactic. "Well how about a little nap?"

Both lords glared at me. I shrugged indifferently, "We could always find the Amulet later."

Both of them rolled their eyes.

"Lord Trithos," Greiga growled, "Now is not the time."

"And with all due respect my lord we must make haste," added Falzer. "There will be other time for leisure."

I sighed in defeat. "Very well then." But inwardly I am pleased to see them working together.

We approached the temple entrance. The sun light warmed the old yellow stones. Shrubbery of all kinds grew all over. Vine crawling on the walls, grass and weeds sprouting in between bricks with bushes and trees growing here and there. In the center of the temple court was a decaying fountain with muddy water in its basin. I eyed the temple court warily. It appears to be deserted village uninhabited for many years, but experience has taught me that not all what it seems to be.
