\'Temple huh... Let\'s see what you have for us shall we\' I chuckled

***

15 minutes earlier at the temple.

"Do you feel that?" A young girl barely past the age of 18 asked while looking towards what seemed to be the center of the temple they were standing in front of.

When looking at the girl, it would look like her eyes were piercing through every layer of brick and looking right into the epicenter of the pyramid and probably the most valuable room within

"This must be a treasure!" another exclaimed in excitement.

"Must be! I wonder what kind of weapons, armors, and expensive heirlooms the gods have left for us within the pyramid! Aren\'t you excited Lea?" Another boy, this time with fiery orange hair with streaks of red outlining the vibrant orange.

"You idiots" Lea sighed and looked away from both the boys who seemed to be starstruck with dollar signs for eyes.

"Hey! It\'s not our fault that you cannot appreciate treasures as we do!" The boy that had spoken first with vibrant green hair and emerald eyes pouted and crossed his arms. While he might have tried to look serious, to Lea he looked more cure than anything else.

"Anyway, away from the arguing. Since there is no one here we should be able to enter the temple/pyramid without having anyone notice us for the time being. Even when we enter, the only problems we will face are going to be the traps inside that I am sure we can rely on your mana eyes to avoid" The orange-haired boy glanced at Lea before turning back towards the temple and continuing by saying "While when we leave, there is a chance that the temple will collapse when we take anything out of it and therefore making out main problems the people who will be waiting for us on the outside combined with the temple collapsing"

"Hahahaha!" When Lea heard the last part of what he had said, she could not help but laugh out loud and look at the boy as if he was an idiot

"GODDAMNIT LEA! WHAT IS IT THIS TIME!?" The orange-haired boy laughed.

"The temple/ pyramid had been made to protect the thing on the inside while making it accessible to anyone with the permission to enter. This isn\'t like the books, Ronny! Why would the temple collapse and destroy the only thing it is protecting?" Lea laughed as she pointed at the boy with mockery in her voice

"Lea... You shouldn\'t mock Ronny too much. One day he might come back and kick your ass before you even know it" The green-haired boy laughed too, causing Ronny to become beet red.

"D-D-DAMNIT! WHY DO BOTH OF YOU KEEP MAKING FUN OF ME!" He pouted the same way the green-haired boy had done when Lea had mocked him too.

"Let\'s get a move on or we won\'t be able to get anything in the end" Lea laughed and quickly launched herself forwards followed by both of her closest friends who joined her right behind her, making sure to never leave her side no matter what, even if it meant death and even if it meant that they knew that whatever she was about to do was dangerous and probably going to injure her.

If she was going to do it, so were they even if they tried to convince her not to go.

Either they convince her out of it, or they go with her, that was their code.

After they finally all landed on the mossy floating tile platform stair, they could only look up in amazement as the stairway reached all the way to the entrance of the temple. From what they could see, the temple itself was huge but they had never expected it to be this big especially due to the distance they were looking at it from.

However, after getting closer and closer, they realized that the temple was enormous and not something they should mess around in, causing them all to be on guard for the rest of the trip whether they liked it or not.

"We could just turn around you know? Like, we don\'t actually have to get the treasure inside the temple. Someone else can get it and in the end, the human race wins, right?" Ronny chuckled awkwardly but Lea did not let her eyes peel away from the sit of the temple.

"You don\'t understand Ronny. Neither do you understand either, Jacob... The thing inside can change our lives! It can change everything we are! It can literally define our fates from here on out. We no longer have to get looked down upon by those other noble freaks of nature and instead, we can stand up for ourselves as we become stronger than they could ever imagine! With that thing inside, we can surpass our human limitations!" Gradually, a fanatic smile had slowly been stretching across her face while obsession shone in her eyes like no other.

This was no longer a game for her where they would go treasure hunting... These were the lifestyles they were talking about. An item that could make the weakest person on the planet gets catapulted towards being the strongest, even capable of rivaling those like the Paladin or dare I say, even the Dracoria... The most powerful human in all of Solaris and a mage who is rumored to be capable of taking on a whole race without even having to lift a finger.

However, instead of being thrown off or even repulsed by her smile, a determined fire burnt deep within their soul, deep within the flame that gave vigor to them and allowed them to animate their body.

If she wasn\'t going to back down, neither were they!

"Let\'s go them" A serious expression washed over both Ronny\'s and Jacob\'s faces as they both moved up the stairway and finally met face to face with the enormous double-doored mossy gate.

Without hesitation, they both moved forward and pushed the gates before Lea could even move a muscle, something that immediately made her eyes widen in horror before sighing in relief.

"Both of you don\'t go forwards without me telling you to, okay? I don\'t want to lose any of you idiots and I can easily locate all the traps without having to reply on some bullshit that our teacher tried to teach us" She chuckled, but they could tell she was dead serious about her first statement.

"Sorry, Lea..." They both apologized at the same time, not daring to look up from the ground due to the shame they were feeling, even though Lea didn\'t seem to share their same sentiment.

\'They are amazing...\' She thought as she also moved forwards and touched their shoulder. When she did so, she shifted them both and looked them in the eyes before finally saying...

"Let\'s raid this temple shall we?"
