Evan noticed the two of them sitting down and decided to sit down as well thinking everyone was supposed to sit down.

Kali sighed rubbing her face. "Well i wouldn't worry about getting personal, we will all get to know each other in the end."

Ignis looked at Evan, I almost forgot about your hearing. I will help you in due time. For now I am willing to answer any questions you may have. Ignis turned to the other two, "Do not fear about personal. I will answer any I can."

"wow, im that forgettable, ouch." he joked looking at ignis. "Its okay, The only question i have are really for kali, but i would like to ask them in private if thats alright." he smiled at Kali, who seemed just a tad shocked.
"um sure? i guess thats fine."
"thanks."

Alister stared pointedly at Kali and Evan for a moment before he faced Ignis.
“Well, okay. The first thing that comes to mind is when we were back there, Noel said she heard you were seeing a memory of someone. He had a name that sounded like yours…? Or was it just Fire? I was confused about that.”
“Oh yeahhh,” Noel breathed, her words turning into a yawn.

Ignis smiled, thinking as he spoke to make sure Evan had heard, "Ignatius. That was Fire's mortal name. The elementals were beings of pure energy. Always perceived as gods, hence the temples and stories. Ignatius would walk the to admire the creation he took part in. Apparently, he walked the very halls of Dark's temple. I'm guessing for the rest of his life he couldn't shake the thought of seeing Dark as she died in his arms."

"Ouch. Thats rough." kali glanced off into the distance.

Ignis looked to Kali, "Perhaps it was. I can still see Darkness dying as if I was there."

kali glanced back at ignis, searching his eyes and face but not making it obvious. "He was most likely tortured by that memory for the rest of his days, forced to relive it. He might have thought he was a failur that could have done better to protect her." she was just guessing, but she knew the feeling.

“Oh…” Alister sat there, thinking. “Sounds like a metaphor for something.”
“Oh yes, I remembered a question I had,” Noel perked up a bit. “Did you find anything else while we were stuck? Did we actually accomplish anything here?”
The fact that they went to this temple only to get stuck with weird, poisonous water and a memory was kind of getting to her. Granted, the shadow traveling and being in the Shadow Realm was cool, but they didn’t do anything else with it other than escape.

other than more sself doubt, self loathing and me wanting to isolate myself so i dont hurt anyone? not that i know of. she sighed letting ignis answer the question.

Ignis looked at the temple and smiled, "Yeah, I did"

"what did you find?" Evan asked Ignis. starin at him

“… are you going to explain what?” Noel asked. She swayed back and forth where she sat, impatient.

"This temple was an attraction to all mankind to honor her legacy. Fire created these traps in the physical world to prevent mankind from destroying it. Everything I heard about is true. But it isn't in the physical world, it's in the shadow realm."

"so in order to go in there and really see the temple, you would have to do it in the shadow realm?" she raised an eyebrow at him once more.

"Exactly. Fire couldn't go in it so I doubt there are any traps. That's why the water can't affect us there." Ignis looked at Kali

Huh. So the Shadow Realm would actually be used for something. Noel stopped swaying and said, “Woah. Okay, your answer satisfies me.”
The siblings both stared, wide-eyed. Still, their curiosity was not.

"Okay but how did you even get in it yourself? I understand you probably choose to use darkness form the crystal but i never did that before??"

Ignis looked at his hands, "To be honest, the strangest thing is how I managed to escape. When the crystal activated, I was shot straight into the shadow realm. "

"Really? huh, i just went straight to the others so i didnt notice." she put a hand to her neck letting it rest there.

Ignis got leaned and tilted his head towards Kali, "Aww, you wanted to be first?"

"what? no! i did not say anything like that." she huffed at him. "i wasnt thinking it either." she crossed her arms.

The siblings giggled. But then Noel cleared her throat. “Um, excuse me, but what crystal?”
Alister kept giggling. “The crystal yeeted him into the Shadow Realm.”
She smacked him. “C’mon dude, be serious.” But an uncontrollable grin had spread across her face.
“Sorry! I’m tired and my brain is going in too many directions.” He wheezed.

Kali heard Alister's commented and snickered a little bit. "It really did yeet him."
