“Careful!” Eli exclaimed, grabbing onto Rainy and helping to lead her down the stairs.

Pocky turned and walked backwards so she could talk to them, holding the wall for support. "Isn't this fun? Going down forbidden stairs in a temple with people you barely know?" she said, half sarcastic, and half exited.

Rainy completely missed the sarcasm. "It's the most fun I've had in ages!" She squealed, trying to stay calm.

Pocky grinned, turning the right way again. Unfortunately, she tripped in the process, and went flying down the stairs. She rolled and rolled, finally sprawling out at the bottom. "Ow." She said, standing. She'd scraped her cheek, and her knees too. "I'm good!" she called up the stairs, and looked around. It was really dark.

Eli got to the bottom with Rainy and laughed, looking at Pocky. “Flashlight anyone? I could use my phone if needed.”

Pocky pulled out her key-chain flash-light again, and switched it on. "Still works!" She said victoriously.

Eli’s eyes squinted as he looked around, his eyes adjusting slowly. There seemed to be pillars all over, markings carved into them and the walls. “This is wild..”

"Look at the Hieroglyphics!" Pocky exclaimed. "This is so awesome…"

“It’d be even more awesome if we actually knew what they were saying,” Eli said with a chuckle.

"I took a course on it once," Maya said, squinting. "I wanted to be an Egyptologist."

Rainy reached out and traced the carvings with the tips of her fingers. "Ew. Dusty."

"These are just stories," she said, pointing one out. "This one is the creation story."

//are they in Egypt? I'm pretending they are

“The creation story? Like from the Bible or something?” Eli asked, his eyes full of curiosity.

"No, the Egyptian one," she explained. "About the first gods and goddesses and how the Earth was created."

Pocky smiled. "You know your stuff." she said.

"Like I said," she grinned. "I want to be an Egyptologist."

“Impressive,” Eli said, smiling brightly. “Can you read anything else?”

(Lmao alrighty.)

"Maybe half of this," she said, squinting. "Again, they're all stories. All able to be found on the Internet in English. Except… this one, maybe. At least, I haven't seen it before."

“Can you read it?” Eli asked, moving closer to it and running his fingers over the dusty writing.

"It's some creepy legend. Well, it's a cool legend. Got all that magic and those divine beings. Something about a rock, or maybe a statue? that gives you powers from the gods."

"I love creepy legends," Rainy commented, still tracing the carvings. "Where does it say the rock/statue/whatever is?"

"In this temple… somewhere. Doesn't get much more specific besides 'deep down, scary place'… It sounds cooler I swear."

“In the temple? Man, if all of that power stuff was real, that’d be awesome,” Eli wondered aloud.

"It so would. You guys wanna try and find it?"

“Are we even sure that it’s real?” Eli questioned, his brow arched.
