Walking

[Zappy]

Allie sighed. "Get some rest."

[Kiki]

"I'm fine," he said again. Kitev looked into his eyes and hers glowed a pinkish hue, then Enthe nodded off.
"Priests and priestesses. Most stubborn patients ever," Kitev said.

[Zappy]

Allie nodded. "I can tell."

[Kiki]

"Luckily, we know how to deal with him. He should wake up in a few hours. I'm sure you won't want to sit here while you wait. I could get another to sit with him and I could show you the lower reaches of the temple the flood didn't affect."

[Zappy]

"Okay."

[Kiki]

A Ninetales walked over and talked to Kitev shortly, then Kitev nodded. "We can go," Kitev said.

[Zappy]

"Okay."

[Kiki]

"This way." Kitev motioned and started walking

[Zappy]

Allie followed.

[Kiki]

She led Allie into a highly ornate room that had vaulted ceilings. The walls were covered in gold and silver leaf, inset with precious jewels and a strange material that shimmered like the fur the anjunsha had. A beautiful stature of a Suicune sat in the middle of the room. A statue of Mother stood next to the Suicune. The air had a calm and sacred feel to it. "This is the Aruksha, the Holy of Holies. The place where pilgrims came to pray to Lady Fele and Mother."

[Zappy]

"Cool..."

[Kiki]

She nodded. "While a thousand years have passed since the sinking of this temple, we still stick to our ways. We still hold services three times a day and pray several times between. We maintain this place should Mother ever want to bring it back up."

[Zappy]

She nodded.

[Kiki]

In her human form, Ombreon knelt in front of the statue of Mother, praying. "We still occasionally do get visitors," Kitev said. "We should probably leave her be."

[Zappy]

Allie nodded.

[Kiki]

Kitev walked out of the room and led her to a vast library. The shelves, which had a mixture of scrolls and tomes, reached ceiling to floor with barely five feet of space between them. The ceilings were at least a hundred feet high. "And the library. This was one of the five repositories of all knowledge in the world."

[Zappy]

"Cool."

[Kiki]

She nodded. "Had the humans not become so corrupt, they'd still have all of this knowledge. They have only but a fraction of it now. Somewhere in here is the secret to destroying all evil."

[Zappy]

Allie nodded slowly.

[Kiki]

"But, unfortunately, when the temple sank, they had to abandon all of this knowledge. So much history and knowledge is lost..." She shook her head, continuing to walk.

[Zappy]

Allie followed her.

[Kiki]

She led Allie to a hallway that was ornately decorated. "These are the halls where the priests and priestesses lived. Most comfortable rooms in history, literally."

[Zappy]

Allie nodded. "Sweet."

[Kiki]

She nodded and pushed open one of the doors. They had no knobs or locks. The room had an incredibly plush bed along with the same ornate decorations as the rest of the temple had.

[Zappy]

"Pretty."

[Kiki]

She nodded and a sleeping anjunsha Vulpix raised her head. Kitev said a word of apology then closed the door. "We usually take up the rooms."

[Zappy]

She nodded.

[Kiki]

She led Allie through the rest of the temple which took several hours, then led her back to the infirmary. Enthe was just waking up and stretching.

[Zappy]

Allie smiled and waved to Enthe.

[Kiki]

He coughed and Kitev sighed. "Side-effect of the stuff I had to use... At least you don't seem much worse for wear, Enthe," she said.
He nodded. "Yeah." His color had returned as had his strength.
