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!

Arthur glances over at Kaldur and Mera as they put their two cents in, largely seeming to leave the decision up to him. He pauses with his foot on the chest. "I want your opinions as well. There is some risk involved here, we don't have any idea what could be in these." And if they don't think the risk is worth it, then he won't do anything to possibly endanger them.

"There is a risk in everything we do here," Kaldur points out. It is good that Arthur cares about their opinions--it makes him feel honored--but they also must be practical about it. There is just as much of a chance there is nothing dangerous in the chest as there being something to harm them.

"We are here to stop the darkness here, but do not know where it may come from or what tools this world will provide us. If you believe this is worth the chance, then I stand by you."

"Please, Arthur. There's three of us here. Whatever might be inside, I'm sure we can handle it." She's confident in her own abilities, as well as Arthur's and Kaldur's. Slightly apprehensive as she may be, she's sure that between the three of them, they can handle whatever might happen.

"Besides, as Kaldur says, there's risk in everything we do here. If you're curious, why not open it up and see?"

Arthur gives them both a slight smile; they're more than his family, here, they're his team in a way. They stand together as representatives of Atlantis, and it's nice to know they're behind him all the way.

"Let's take a look, then," he says, and lifts the trident, knocking off the lock with a deft jab of the end of it. The chest falls open, and Arthur frowns slightly down at the contents lying on the ground, spilling out of it. "Scrolls and books?"
