~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The Temple Of Jad'var, The Kingdom of Nu'bor, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:09 PM)~~~

We've gotten pretty deep into Dungeon and fought many enemies since we started. Sally is still leading the way since she has a light source. And I'm following right behind her.

"The Cezlite people created this Temple to worship a God... Too bad we don't know which God. It could tell us what's hidden in here. We've been checking the guarded rooms, but nothing has given any answers..."

'

Sally brings up a subject that's been on my mind since I read the description for the Dungeon. It said it was to worship a God but never specified which one. It could be any kind of God, and I'm not wasting time with guesses.

I won't bother giving it more thought until we read some document or piece of history in this place. She can give it as much thought as she wants.

"I'm not thinking about it. It'd be a waste of time since too many Gods could fit the role. Let's focus on finding the boss room or places where we could get answers."

A scoff is what I get in response.

She spins around and looks at me with a challenging look.

"That isn't the Cera I know. The Cera I know pulls his hair out when he doesn't know the answers to something like this. Unless you know you're not smart enough to figure it out."

She'll regret saying that.

"Are you challenging me to figure out who can find out first?"

A cocky smirk graces her features, and that's all I need to know she's laying down a challenge to be taken on.

"Fine, first one to figure out the God of this Temple gets first picks at the bosses loot."

I'm always down for some friendly competition, and we have the perfect wager since we're in a dungeon.

"That sounds perfect. We enter rooms at the same time, and only then do we start searching them."

She reaches her hand out, and we shake on it.

We keep walking down the hall, and we kill the Temple Guardians as we do. Searching any rooms they're guarding. We don't find anything that pertains to the history of the Temple. We do find plenty of Gold, though.

Another stairway is coming up, and that means we're going deeper again. The monster, creatures, and enemies we've encountered at getting stronger as we get deeper into the Temple.

Descending the stairs doesn't take long, and once we're at the bottom, the entire floor lights up. And what we see blows our minds.

"A jungle inside a Temple..."

There are many things that could've been on this floor, but this wasn't what I was expecting. Sally steps forward and stops using Ice Light. The entire floor is lit by magical orbs near the ceiling.

"Have you ever seen anything like this?"

She's right to ask me that since I'd likely know given my knowledge. But I've never experienced it in person. I've only heard that some Dungeons have unique environments that you won't find anywhere else.

This has to be one of them.

"No. But I've heard some Dungeons have unique characteristics. When you discover one, it's not going to be found anywhere else."

She steps forward and starts heading for the jungle. I'm right behind her, and as we approach, some regular-looking monkeys swing away, and birds leave the trees we're under. It's not like the jungle outside.

'',

Perhaps this floor could've been made by the people from before. That's the only logical explanation. Why would they build a jungle inside the Temple...

"Be on guard. We don't know what's down here. There could be a hidden boss... It might even be the boss room..."

We can't be sure.

But this would be one cool boss room if it were. We eventually reach a large circular grass area that doesn't have any trees. It's almost like a place to do battle.

"Welcome, Players."

A voice rings out through the room. Sally and I stand back to back and cover each other. I wasn't expecting a greeting.

',

The voice sounded like an automated response. And it was male. This place is freaking cool! I wish I could've done more Dungeons like this. The only one that compares is when I freed the fairies.

"The Temple of Jad'var is a holy sight, and you're trespassing. You have one hour to vacate the area or be purged."

The voice stops talking after that, and Sally gets my attention with a small elbow bump to my back.

What does purged mean?"

It's a function in Dungeons that have a timer. When the timer expires, you're taken back to the entrance.

"We only have one hour until we're kicked from the Dungeon and have to start over. We need to get a move on and try finding the boss. The bet's still on, don't think you can weasel out."

I make sure she understands that even though we're on a time limit now, we'll be looking for answers to the Temple's history.

I've gotten 20 EXP so far, and I don't plan on stopping now.

"What makes you think I want it any other way?"

Sally darts off toward the otherside of the massive room, and I'm close on her tail. I make sure to keep up speed with her. We find another staircase and descend it. And this time, we enter what looks to be a massive library.

The books themselves are old and destroyed. We won't be getting any information. But before we can even talk, monsters that look like paper start forming from the old books. I use Inspect while I have a chance.

[Paper Puppet (Lvl. Adjusted)]

[Health: Adjusted]

[Description: Magical monsters that have formed from the rotten books that once filled the library of Jad'var. While their health won't be much, they've got deadly attacks that can prove to be annoying.]

That's one of the more unique monsters I've fought.

"Let's not waste any time and get through this place. We won't find any answers here. Everything is already ruined."

Sally makes a great point, and we rush forward, killing the Paper Puppets as we progress forward and through the library.

But at the end of it, I've gained another 10 EXP, and we exit through another door. It's put us in a hallway, and there is only one door at the end.

"You think the boss room is up there?"

I wouldn't think so. This looks like a trap.

"I think this entire hallway is a trap. I just don't know what it does."

We start walking forward, and as I thought, it was a trap. But not a regular trap. It's a Teleportation Trap. We're spat out in a large chamber filled with bones.

All humanoid and from people before the system existed. All NPCs from long ago and before we Players ever existed.

"You know what bones mean..."

I know what they mean...

There is a monster in here that kills whoever enters this place. And Sally is already drawing her weapon and getting ready for combat.

As I draw my blade, a low and long growl comes from one of the dark corners. And out from that shadowed area is something I've never seen before. It's getting darker by the second, and Sally casts her Ice Light.

It seems to piss off the creature, and I barely get an Inspect in before we're attacked.

[Jad'vari Lessiro (Lvl. Adjusted)]

[Health: Adjusted]

[Description: The avatar of Jad'vars son, and one of the stronger entities that reside in The Temple of Jad'var. Its size is not indicative of its speed. And once at half health, it'll summon other monsters to help.]

An Avatar, huh...

"Get ready for a fight. It's not going to be a quick one like all the rest we've fought already."

She nods her head and gets into her stand, and I toggle my wings on and spread them, ready to fight.
