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!

Teddy was still in a crouched position in front of the sign when Frank approaches. He face was set with exhaustion and confusion, his mouth pulled into a tight frown. He hadn't expected their trek through the bottle to be easy, but it would be nice if the signs and things were written in English. Or at least some other language he could recognize.

"This sign," he glanced up at Frank, shrugging,"I can't read it. I'm not sure any of us would be able to read it. It's not a language I recognize anyways."

Frank just gave it a glance, he wasn't really expecting for it to be in a language he could understand. He didn't know many languages anyway, and anytime he had tried to make an effort to learn some more Kedan language his brain had decided to go on a strike and refuse to learn it.But then a familiar word caught his eye ('fortune'?) and he frowned as he approached the sign.

"Wait. It's not really Latin, but I can still read it? Most of it anyway. It says it will give us fortune to leave something here, and take something in return." A tilt of his head.

"I don't know about you, but I could use some luck if we're going to fight the unknown."

He scooted over a bit to give Frank a better look at the sign. Of course it would be some version of Latin. Hasn't anyone let this universe in on the fact that Latin was a dead language? Dead apparently to all but this sign and Frank.

"Latin? Really?" He shook his head. "So it is like a wishing well. Except for it to work you have to take something as well. Sounds easy enough."

"Yeah, Latin" he said, giving Teddy a grin. Back at home he used Latin often, since it was the only language his friends could understand without their heavy dyslexia kicking in, but in here it was... almost the first time he'd really used it. It made him feel nostalgic in a way.

"Let's hope it is as simple at it sounds, so far the walk here hasn't exactly been easy. I don't have much to give, though- I mean, I'll probably need the arrows."
