Ignis looks at Kali, "Well by the laws of the elementals, this is technically your…house."

“Woah,” the siblings look around in awe.
Noel chuckled. “I didn’t know what to expect.”
They were sitting in the backs seats, the others in front of them. Noel sat with her legs crossed, one elbow resting on the window sill, her head resting on the hand. Her other arm lay on her lap. Alister’s left leg was tucked under the right, one resting on his knee and the other at his side. They both looked out of their respective windows, taking in the dark, cathedral-like temple.

"house? More like ancient ruins but okay. Might as well look around." She opened the door and got out and started looking around.

Evan got out as well, "yeah let's explore." He quickly left the car not really following Kali, just going in her general direction and looking around.

Ignis did as well. He motioned the others to follow. As they stepped outside, they took in the nature and beauty. Ignis walks over to Kali, "Many have travelled here for it's beauty. Many have tried to open the gates or even blow them down, just to see what lied inside. Are you prepared to be the first one to ever be inside? Not even Darkness herself has been inside."

"Woah." Evan let out a soft gasp at how beautiful it was, he walked over to the water flow and bent down to touch the water before standing up and looking at this whole place, he turned to Alister how cool he thought it was but stopped, worried he would be pushing his boundaries. He didn't want to make Alister uncomfortable, or make him think he was weird.

She wasn't smiling, but if you paid close attention to how she looked at it, she was internally smiling. "Yeah. I'm ready." She walked towards the door and put a hand on it. She took in the doors and its beautiful craftsmanship. "What do I have to do to open it?"

Ignis leaned on a pillar near the wall. He observed the vines that stretched around the temple and connected to the forest that grew to make the beautiful scenery, "The temple was built in remembrance of Darkness. The lock was crafted by a special metal only activated through her magic. She was able to manipulate darkness to solidify a key, much like conjuring a weapon. The design of the key should be housed in you. Like a memory or vision. Close your eyes and just embrace the darkness. Let her show you what it truly means to be a child of darkness."

At this point, the siblings were out of the car, taking in their surroundings. Now, they wandered towards the door, watching Kali intently. Alister gave a small, curious glance at Evan before turning back, a strange feeling coming over him. Noel must’ve felt it too, because she had her arms crossed tightly over her chest, and she was blinking and glancing around a lot.

She nodded, she closed her eyes, focusing soley on darkness and a design for a key. She let out some darkness from herself, while she remained peaceful. stop searching so hard, she heard a female voice call out to her. what do you mean stop searching how else am I supposed to find it?
The female voice seemed to sigh, stubborn, you will only find the key when you stop trying so hard. that dosent make any sense. Kali huffed. Let go. Just relax and breathe, you will see the key come to you but it will only hide deeper away from you. Kali huffed frustrated. how in the heck does that make any sense?! Just tell me what the key design is! Darkness seemed to sigh even more, placing a hand to her own face. see, it's that impatience and agressive manor that will get you nowhere. Kali scowled. Darkness reached out a hand and touched it to Kali's forehead. It seemed like something had maybe touched her to irl but in the void area they were in darkness forced herself into Kali's brain looking through her memories and Kali noticed that there were memories of someone else, some that weren't hers. Darkness seemed disappointed as she showed Kali the key design. next time stubbornmess and brutality, impaitence. Will not get you so far as one step Kali arden Kali summond the key at it's phsyical form. She put the key into the keyhole.

Evan looked at Kali, watching as some of the darkness spread and watching how it looked as if someone had touched her and then a few seconds later a key of darkness appeared, he turned back to Alister to see what he was up too. He snuck back right Alister, "pretty cool huh?' he stayed a good bit away so he didn't make Alister uncomfortable.

Ignis watched closely. His eyes flashed gold for a second then Ignis proceeds to the door. He was very curious to see what lied inside.

She walked inside shoving her hands shoving hands in her pockets, the key disapeared since it was made only of dark matter as she walked inside.

“I guess,” Alister breathed. Cool wouldn’t be the word he would in this moment. Fascinating, strange, even eerie, perhaps.
The sound of his heart beat seemed to rise in volume. Noel moved closer to him, staring straight at Kali and the door, the darkness curling around them.
“Did you see what I saw?” She whispered.
“I think so…”
They edged carefully to the door.

Evan frowned a little bit as he heard his response, he sighed. Not hearing the rest of what they said. He walked infront of them with his head slightly down.what was he doing wrong?

Ignis and Kali walk into a huge open area, with a black flame candle lit in the center. Large set of stairs on the left and several doors in several directions. Ignis walked into mansion like temple. His gaze of wonder and excitement didn't show, but somehow it was obvious.

The doors shut behind Kali, locking out evan noel and Alister. Kali made sure to stay right behind ignis incase a door might seperate them. The doors shut behind every new one they opened and entered.

The siblings flinched as the door slammed shut. Noel muttered, “Aww, why am I left out of every plot related thing?”
“What?” Her brother asked.
“What?” She glanced at him.
He shook his head, trying to think. “Nevermind. There’s some light reflecting in here. Let’s see if I can…” he inhaled, cupping his hands like he was drinking from them. He exhaled into his hands, which curled around the air he produced, like he was making a snowball. Dim light seemed to pulse from the ‘snowball,’ until it became constant. It glowed as if from a lamp.
“Nice work, Ali.” Noel murmured. Alister cupped the light in one hand, saying, “Thanks.”

Ignis held his hand up and created a fireball for light. They had found themselves in a big open room with a marble floor and gold encrusted pillars. Ignis smiled as he began to move in a rheumatic pattern, "It's a ballroom. Darkness loved to dance. Well…she was always embarrassed, but she always danced to mortal music."
