Hawkin was startled when Kylie grabbed his hand. He didn't pull away though. "I- I won't get lost. I promise."
Hawkin was startled when Kylie grabbed his hand. He didn't pull away though. "I- I won't get lost. I promise."
"You'd better not." She mumbled. As they continued to follow the star, the tunnels widened until five of them could have fit side by side. Something big was up ahead.
Hawkin was shocked how wide the cave got. "Where do you think this star is leading us?"
"I told you, I have no idea." Eventually, huge doors appeared, the stone etched with patterns that depicted people with capes flowing behind them, each holding up a hand with something cradled in it - a star, a flame, a lightning bolt, an explosion, a droplet of water, a block of ice…the list went on and on. Some latin was written above it all.
Hawkin stood stock still. "Is it bad that I feel like I should remember this place? I don't, and man do I wish I had paid attention in Latin!"
"Shoot, I'm sorry, I should've brought my shirt down here." Xander stopped the clouds and turned to look at Rigel. "Let's share body heat." He said while giving a small smile.
Rigel blushed furiously, but found himself leaning into Xander’s chest, sapping off his warmth. He’s so strong… Rigel couldn’t stop himself, he snuggled closer as he closed his eyes, “You are warm…”
(Anyone on?)
(Awkwardly on the side, watching ships unfold)
(Hi :P)
(One ship is sailing the other isn't far behind!)
(Yes!)
"Thanks." Xander said while chuckling. He wrapped his arms around Rigel's cool body and gently placed his chin on top of his head. "Could you create things out of nowhere?" He asked to pass time.
Hawkin stood stock still. "Is it bad that I feel like I should remember this place? I don't, and man do I wish I had paid attention in Latin!"
"Never took Latin. I don't think I remember it either." Kylie cautiously reached up to run her finger across the outline of a shining star resting in the hand of one of the engraved heroes. "Do you think we should go in?"

“I don’t know… maybe? I’ve only been around implosions of things so far…” Rigel whispered softly, then added, “I haven’t tried on the necklace yet, I put it near my shirt.” Rigel savored the feeling of being held, closering his eyes as he pressed his head into Xander’s warm chest, listening to his heart beat. I shouldn’t be doing this…
Xander hugged Rigel tighter and pulled him closer nuzzling deeper into his neck. He wanted to savor the feeling of him a bit longer before having to pull away. "When you're warmer, we can go get it so you could maybe practice more and figure out what you can do."

Hawkin smiled. "Heck yeah we should go in! Come on!" Hawkin practically dragged Kylie inside the doors.
Kylie followed, stumbling a little, into an old limestone shrine into a place that must have been deep beneath the dunes. The brown stone that made up the room was damp and covered in long strips of moss. Around the room were pedestals, each one just about as tall as Kylie, each with a symbol carved into them and a small counter of stone protruding out with little grippers - to hold something, Kylie assumed. In the middle was a large statue of many people reaching upwards where a giant glass sphere sat on top, dimly lighting the room.

Rigel’s eyes widened as Xander nuzzled into his neck, basically melting where he was. Xander was so soft and gentle… Rigel swallowed his hum of pleasure before he could make any noise. He tongue was in knots, so he just didn’t say anything, curling inwards and snuggling Xander. We only met a few hours ago, but… Rigel couldn’t stop himself.

Hawkin was in awe. He let go of Kylie's hand and went and found the one that had the explosion on it. He stood in front of the pedestal, and rubbed his hand across it. He turned and faced Kylie. "What do you think this is? What does this place mean? Why did whatever this is choose us? I'm-I'm scared…"
"I don't know." Kylie went over to the one with a star engraved on it - it was conveniently next to Hawkin's. "Maybe it's a generation thing…maybe there were people like us…before us?" She suggested. "And this…shrine, I guess…was made for all of us?"
Hawkin shrugged. "I don't know… I guess that there were people before us… But why we find out now? I just don't understand…" Hawkin looked at his pedestal, and decided to climb it.
"I don't know." Kylie didn't notice his antics, running her fingers along the grippers. "These look like these were meant to hold a headpiece or something." She absentmindedly fingered her tiara.
Hawkin was on top of his pedestal. "Let's find out!" He took off his necklace, and jumped off of his pedestal, and gently placed his necklace on it. A beam of light shot up when his necklace was placed on it. Hawkin quickly took his necklace off of it, and grinned. "It actually worked! Let's get everyone in here to see what power we can come up with!" His eyes shone with excitement.
"It's the glass ball in the middle here, I think. It glowed a little bit. If we have everyone, something will probably happen to it." Kylie shook her head, glancing around. "But I don't think anyone here controls water…or fire…or ice. I think Rigel does negative space, or something…but there are some people missing. We won't get it to full power until we have them."
Hawkin smiled. "Yeah, but what if they don't exist yet? Like they haven't even been born? What if the world needed the ones that it gave powers to? See how the pedestals appear dimmer, or shrouded? That could mean that they don't exist, or that power isn't needed at this moment at this time?"
"Yeah…" Kylie approached the flame pedestal, which was black and had what looked like ashes scattered across the ground near it. She stepped back and looked to Hawkin. "But what on earth could the world need us for?"
Hawkin looked at the one that was supposed to be ice. It was really cold, and frost was all around it. He walked around it. He furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't know. There is literally nothing I can offer to save the world. I mean what have I done to gain this?" He gestured to himself and the power he had acquired.
"I second that." Kylie looked around, walking back to her own pedestal. She walked around it, noticing a little stone door in the back. She frowned, calling to Hawkin.
