(Hey guys, sorry for the late updates. Duking some chapters out today, but here's a short one. I'm going to start writing them talking normal because it's really, really hard to write their accents ok sorry.)
Skwisgaar peaks his head around the statue more to see what's causing the shadows. He can't see them yet but patiently waits.
"The shadows look human…" He whispers but Toki isn't paying attention. He's looking over the majestic carvings in domed room again. There's an army and someone with a mask is bigger than the people making up the army. Toki doesn't look away but reaches a blind hand to Skwisgaar to get his attention which he bats away.
"I'm trying to see!" He hisses.
"Hey, Skwisgaar, that guy looks important…" Toki trails his eyes over the large Goddess, her hair is carved like it's blowing in the wind and she's faces sideways, toward the army like they're about to battle though she is much larger than the army, taking up most of the wall. There are skulls forming behind her and a large X is carved into her back. Her hair circles around another figure wearing rags and long hair also but standing tall and proud. Moss and vines have grown over the rest of it, but Toki can tell there's more.
"…Skwisgaar, you think this is telling a love story…?" Toki looks closer at the Goddess's face. "Skwisgaar, look!" Toki shakes his arm and Skwisgaar finally turns around.
"What?"
"That Goddess has a moustache!" Toki says. Skwisgaar scrunches his nose at the carving, taking a closer look and realizing what Toki was missing and his eyes widen.
"Toki, that's you!"
A large rattling noise echoes from the stairs and Skwisgaar looks down it again. The shadow has finally revealed itself to be large, big boned skeletons wearing armor, holding swords and arrows. There were 5 of them but one had just stepped on a pressure pad causing a large axe to swing down and crash into it, it's bones falling back down the stairs.
"Skekltons!" Toki whispers.
"Toki, this is your temple, maybe they'll recognize you."
"Should I talk to them?"
"I don't know…" Another skeleton trips up the stairs and it's head falls off and starts to roll down the stairs. "They're not very smart…"
"You wouldn't be very smart if you didn't have a brain too, Skwisgaar."
"Smarter that you!" Skwisgaar turns to Toki.
"Nuh uh!"
"Yeah huh-Oh!" He covers his own mouth after not speaking in a whisper. He turns back towards the skeletons and he can see they've stopped moving and the remaining 3 heads are all faced in their direction. They been spotted.
"Uh oh."
