Ignis looked at Kali with a concerned look. He began to draw on the floor, strange symbols formed around a circle pattern. The symbols glowed as they began to lift and flow around the garden, "If this was Dark's temple, why was the door hidden from the shadow realm?"
She had a bit of a downcast look in her eyes, before turning to look at ignis and seeing his look. "stop looking so concerned idiot, the only reason I said was because the only decent humans I know are elementals. I don't much care for saving an earth full or jerks and jack*****" she huffed looking away. "maybe someone hide something in here from darkness?" She looked around.
Ignis didn't even look at her. He remained his gaze on the symbols shooting across the room in various directions, "A flower lost in darkness can only feel the cold. It could only do nothing but whither and die, hating the world it knew. When the sun lifted and shared it's light, the flower was too far gone."
She remained silent, she had so many things she could say to that. She knew what he was saying right. She just didn't want to admit it. She held so much bitterness on the inside from what happened in her past. Some people moved on as better people, she didn't. She just stayed bitter and angry at the world. She sighed staring ahead and remaining quiet.
The symbols faded short after and it made Ignis confused. He shared a confused look.
"they werent supposed to do that were they?" she sighed.
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong this is natural," Ignis spoke, unsure of what to do, "If there was nothing to hide. This was probably hidden from Dark forever and I'm just trying to learn why. My magic is basically saying there is nothing special in this garden. Granted the flowers are rare, there isn't anything worth hiding."
"every thought of the fact it could be hidden from magic searches?" she shot out a random idea. "I dont understand why the would hide this room if there is nothing too hide, unless someone wanted to hide from darkness and hide in this room leaving when darkness stopped searching."
"Mortals had no reason to hide from her and Ignatius was the only other elemental here. So there goes the hiding idea." Ignis scratched his head, "Perhaps it is magic proof, but the question is why?"
"too hide. It's that simple. If someone has a will, there's usually a way.' he sighed. "maybe ignatius tried to hide something from darkness."
"No." Ignatius's voice echoed. He appeared as a ghost, faded and flashed every once in a while, "I hide nothing here. You two must leave…"
"look, if there's nothing to hide then why do you want us to leave?" She asked him, staring at him.
Ignatius looked a Kali, trying to hide his irritation, "Please. Just leave."
"answer my question, then I'll leave." She didn't even have a tone. She was just wanting an answer.
Ignis looked down and Ignis could almost feel his pain, "We'll go." The sudden response from Ignis's mouth even surprised himself. He took Kali's hand and walked out. He held by a tight grip and tried his best to force her out with him.
She stared at ignatius and was suddenly being pulled away by tight grip from the room
"Ignis wait what the heck-" she tried to pull away from him but was dragged out of the room instead.
"What the heck was that?" She stared at him frustratedly. She stared back at the door and even if she tried she would just get pulled back by ignis.
Once they were out of the room, Ignis froze as he Ignatius appeared in front, "You have more respect than I gave you credit for." Ignis turned to Kali slowly with his head still low, "I-it…it was her…" He tried to spit his words out but found trouble in doing so. Ignatius saw this and responded quickly after, "Tomb."
well s*** she froze as soon as she heard the word tomb. So that was where darkness was buried. The last darkness. She was being immensely rude and well disresepctful. Another amazing trait she just happen to have and use frequently even though she should be frequenting it's opposite more. Curse her curiousity.
Curse her stubbornness.
Curse her.
"i-i apologize…" She let out quietly staring at the ground.
Ignis tightened his grip twice and looked at her, "I-It wasn't your fault. You didn't know."
Ignatius looked at the two and saw their faces towards the ground, "Perhaps, it is my fault. I shouldn't have allowed you to follow me." He looks at himself, "This energy is dying the more I remain in your world. I must leave, although I trust that this may not be the last we meet. Your friends are waiting."
He fades away.
"still ..I should have taken the hint instead of being so dam stubborn." She said after ignatius was gone.
She sqeezed his hand back, she didn't really feel like returning to there friends.
She just felt like staying in the darkness and not being found again.
She leaned her head on ignis with her eyes shut.
"Perhaps…we should search for the water source. That way at our friends won't be as…ineffective." Ignis spoke but didn't flinch. He remained still as he tilted his head against Kali's. Ignis felt different with Kali. With Amara, he felt like he had to protect her because she liked the attention. With Kali, it felt like he was in high school with his biggest crush talking to him. He felt…happy.
"mm, I think i might know what caused the water to come in on us, i don't know the source but if we can find the trigger and untrigger it then it should stop." She stayed in the same position, taking ignis's smell, and his warmth.
"I think its darkness, she warned me. earlier when i was getting the key, i was impatient and rude and ii demanded the key, she gave it to me but told me i wouldn't make it another step the same way i am. She might have killed one of us back then to prove a point." she sighed.
