Arriving in Kithika is unpleasant for the most part. Transport through the glass vessel deposits you in the middle of a thick and murky swamp, with air so hot and humid it feels as though one is breathing through a wet towel. This is a place of perpetual night and there are no celestial bodies visible overhead through the twisted vines to break up the blackness, making the only light visible that which comes clumps of marsh fungus that emit a steady glow in a variety of muted colours: pale blue, whitish green, watery mauve. The only other light comes from those who can generate it themselves and that will reveal numerous broad-leaved trees, in some places standing too thick to move through. Below, knee-deep water laps in swirls at their legs, accompanied by the occasional slithery feel of something moving in the bracken against wet limbs, gone before it can be identified. A variety of strange noises from creatures of the swamp fill the air with buzzing and hoarse croaking, interrupted by the screech of mosquitoes the size of hummingbirds darting past and hungry for a meal.

OOC NOTE: Characters will not be able to progress past the Temple and the Grounds for 48 IC hours after which point, the way to continue onward to find the dragon will be discovered. The second log will be posted on the 17th, to help spread out the tagging. Thank you!

[ Challenge accepted. Natasha throws Sharon a look, coupled with a wry smirk. ] I was waiting for you to catch your breath.

[ She chuckles and pushes away from the wall. ]

Last one to the bad guy is a rotten egg.

[ She doesn't seem in a hurry as she inclines her head deeper into the temple, though, inviting Natasha to head inside with her. She draws some of the phosphorous fungi from one of the pouches on her belt and frowns. ]

Not as bright as it was. I guess it doesn't keep forever.

[ Natasha lets out a huff and comes to stand next to Sharon, narrowing her eyes at the dark depths before them. ] If we can find something to burn, we can make a torch.

[ A glance over her shoulder back at the treeline they came out of. ] I'm certainly not going back in there.

[ Sharon doesn't look back, instead keeping her eyes forward in case something's there. She trusts Natasha to watch her back, and she fully intends to watch Natasha's back, too.

She takes a silent step forward, and the moss fades faster strand by strand. She huffs softly under her breath; it sounds like a very quiet curse.

They enter a room with a doorway in each wall. Decorative mosaics along the walls have been desecrated; piles of dust and stone litter the floor. She hears a creak come from the other side of the door just ahead of them and instantly holds up her knife defensively. She glances at Natasha to make sure Natasha's with her, and then creeps toward the noise. ]

[ Natasha has her back. Sharon's proven herself, and Natasha has no reason to not trust Sharon to do the same for her.

She's right behind Sharon and the noise isn't lost on her either, and Natasha nods at Sharon as she glances back, moving to slowly creep towards the source of the noise, gun out and ready. ]
agentx13: (a: suspicious)

[ Sharon gets to the doorway first and presses herself against the wall. When Natasha is ready, Sharon spins into the room, head low and gun ready.

The room is empty. It looks exactly like the room they just left, with the exception of how none of the doors lead outside.

Just as Sharon is about to relax, there's a scratching sound in the room to their right.

She looks at Natasha. That is so not a good sign. ]

[ It's really not. Natasha gestures; she'll flank left if Sharon goes right. They enter the room together.

Natasha makes her way to the door, gun down but her finger on the trigger, and she stands in front of it, waiting for Sharon to get into place. And then she kicks the door in, raising her gun. ]
