Jakal panted, behind Raive, glancing back at how far from the entrance was.
"Well, that was crazy," he muttered, straightening up, his gauntlets unsheathing themselves and covering his hands, "Everyone alright?"
Jade didn't answer. After Raive had dropped the barrier, she went around the log trap and hurried onwards through the temple.
"Hey, hey!" Jakal barked, "Where you going?" he ran after her, only to see that she stopped at a dead end. She glided her hand on the wall in front of her, feeling the runes engraved in the wall.
"So amazing..." Jade muttered, "This is the writing of the dragons..."
Jakal looked at the wall, indifferent, "Well... does it say anything important?"
"Hold on..." Jade said, sliding her hand across the bottom of the images of dragons. She started tapping at the wall, before there was a sudden click. The wall shook and slid open, dust falling from the corners of the wall. There, in front of the group, a glowing red light shone from the end of a large room, "That must be where the blade is."
"Okay, let's go get it then!" Jakal said, running towards the light.
"Wait! Jakal! You don't know what trap the temple contains!" Jade shouted after him. But her cries were in vain. Jakal stepped on a floor panel and the panel sank beneath him. Suddenly, the temple began to rumble and the floor around Jakal, from him to the pedestal to the blade, and became lava. Before Jakal could react, the lava flared up suddenly, ancient looking dragon heads, their mouths agape, emerged from the lava, flames shooting out from their mouths. Jakal stumbled backwards on the platform he was on, "Hey!" he shouted, quickly noticing that the platform was sinking, "A little help here!?"
Jade face palmed, "You idiot! I can't grapple over there, the rope is going to catch fire!" Jade thought quickly, grabbing two frag grenades from her bag. She tossed them at the stone dragons, hoping the fires would stop if the heads were destroyed. The grenades exploded, but the stone faces stayed. Jakal shot missiles from Pandora at the heads, but the heads still spewed fire.
"These things must have the energy of the dragons still stored in them!" Jakal shouted, shooting the laser at the heads, still proving useless, "I can't break them!"
"Raive!" Jade shouted, "The shield!"

"He...forced them out of us by means of physical toucher. " Sioda states "We are not going to stand this for long and we don't know how much longer our bodies can survive with out the magic that keeps our hearts beatting....but well be ok." Sioda says smiling.
Eiva rammed her shoulder into the door to the hall that ran parallel to the one the others were in. Once getting through Eiva checks the map once more with a smirk she notices the other's trap. "Good luck." she says menacingly once again expertly flipping and cart-wheeling to the next pulie that stopped the traps on their end. "Come on." she says to her brother and Sammy.

"That monster.....he sealed our magic away from us......using our true names he....stripped us of it....We only want to get the blade to hopefully cut the bond and possibly save one of our lives......more then likely the one doing the cutting will have their name said on the master's dying breath and thats the end." Sioda says fear shaking his voice as he goes to Eiva.

"Alexander Heshiro..." Sioda says watching Eiva take a jewel out of her pocket and opening the next door in to a large chamber.
Eiva looks at the map again. "This is the last room before the Blade chamber.....after that there are other parts to collect as well."

This room was connected to all of the other rooms. Eiva layed the map down on the floor it would take awhile but the map would readjust it's self to where they were located.

Raive tossed the shield to her. "We have to do something! This might help for a little bit!" He directed his barrier to form around Jakal, protecting him from any small flare-ups of lava... but it would definitely fail if he got doused with it.
Meanwhile, the voices sounded strongly and loudly in Raive's mind, and Jade's mind as well. He is not worthy! He will die in pursuit of the blade, much like you, Jade Mirrors... Raive Brand has proven that he is willing and able to wield the blade... but will the blade be willing to be wielded by someone like him?

"hm...." Eiva was calculating quietly. It was true that her and Sioda's race were as old as the dragon's them selves. Maybe older the Spell Weaver race were as old as the oldest magic. The last remaning two were the twins and this was how they were acting. It angered Eiva to have to hide what she was....and to be treated like a child. This was why she didn't care of anything but beating that stupid Lugia to the blade.
Sioda could feel Eiva's seething rage and sighed. He had forgotten how worked up being patronized made her.

Jade shook her mind of the voice and caught the shield, "You never know until you try!" she shouted, tossing the shield to Jakal, "Jakal! Use the shield!"
Jakal caught the shield, baffled at what to do. He looked at the ground and saw an indentation, somewhere where the shield could be placed. "Hope this works!" Jakal shouted, slamming the shield into the indentation. The shield stuck fast, glowing suddenly, before a light burst from the shield, causing marks to appear around the platform Jakal was standing on. Suddenly, the lava suddenly burst up, and out of the lava came a flaming eastern dragon, most likely the spirit that guarded the area. It looked at Jakal, then Jade and Raive on the other side, before it roared, flew around wildly, and slammed into the platform, connecting its mouth to the pedestal, its hand to the platform Jakal stood and the tail to where Jade and Raive stood. The flames disappeared and the dragon became a bridge made of stone. The dragon heads spitting fire closed their mouths and became stagnant.
"Wow..." Jade gasped, "No way... it worked."
"Hah!" Jakal laughed, "What the fuck just happened? Doesn't matter, the blades right up ahead!" Jakal ran across the bridge, avoiding the edges to keep from falling into the lava.
"Wait! Goddammit Jakal!" Jade ran after Jakal, right behind him. Jakal stopped when he got to the pedestal, as did Jade, the blade sitting right in front of them, glowing with power floating right above the floor. Jakal gasped in awe, but Jade was indifferent about the blade's appearance, "This... looks like the blade... but..." she grabbed a picture of an artist's representation of the blade. The picture was of a very broad red blade, studded with jewelry, draconian runes engraved in yellow written all over it. The blade in front of them was thinner, one blue sapphire embedded in the center of the blade, "It looks nothing like what the artist drew..."
"It looks like something offa the human's video game Soul Caliber..." Jakal said, looking at the picture.
"Yeah.. but..." Jade looked at the floating sword, reaching out to it slowly and grabbing the hilt. Suddenly, the blade glowed, and sent energy surging through the temple. The power sent both Jade and Jakal flying backwards. The blade rose up and shone bright and an image appeared before the group; an image of 7 temples. The image zoomed in on a temple located within the center of an ocean. The image of the temple suddenly changed into a place where there were a race of great long-necked species, white in color, having features of birds. The image suddenly disappeared and the blade fell with a clank.
"What was that about?" Jakal questioned, getting up from the floor.
"Those clever bastards!" Jade shouted, grabbing the picture and a pen and drawing lines, dividing the picture of the sword into 7 parts, "That's amazing!" she shouted, solving the mystery, "The dragons knew that people would be looking for the blade, so they split it up into seven parts and hid them away in remote areas of the world! Only those worthy of the blade would see the image of the temples and gain the clues to assemble the blade and attain its power! Oh my- This is--" she squealed in delight jumping up and down, too excited to form proper words, "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

"MOTHER OF F***!" Eiva cried out running and hiding behind Sioda. "Why did it just turn pitch black all of a sudden!!!" She whimpered. Eiva if nothing else was terrified of the dark.
"Eiva......Relax the map glows remember?" he says pointing to the map on the middle of the floor. They walked back over to it and began to read it once again, only this time Eiva was reading out loud. The language could be heard through out the temple even though her voice was low with fear. The map had regenerated to match their surroundings telling them what was in what part of this part of the temple. What traps were hidden and more importantly the was around them.
"You know it's a good thing our people were amazing friends with the dragons of old.... " Sioda stats once again recognizing that the rune for friend in spell weaver had been mixed with a dragon rune. "I'm pretty sure mom and dad were around when they were..."
"Somehow that wouldn't surprise me.....After all Spell Weavers are observers, but also gardians of the secrets of old.....this map was passed down genoration to genoration.....I'm glad it comes in handy....." she says in spell weaver this time because it was still hard for her to translate while reading.

Raive could only watch soundlessly as everything happened so quickly. Jakal was saved, that much was clear. He ducked for cover as the dragon came into being, but was relieved when it became a bridge. He, with them, walked across it, and beheld the same vision.
Seem familiar, Lugia? That's right... you know this place well. Your kind have been guarding it for centuries. This is why you are worthy to wield one of the splinters of the blade; full Lugias are just too large to wield it. As for the others... there is another temple guarded by Kisiyume, by Dream Dragonspawn, like your friend Jade. Though it is hard to reach, and only she may reach it... of course, you may go too... but as for the one who tried to kill you...
The voices spoke in Jakal's mind. You were never welcome here and it was only by dint of Raive's and Jade's abilities that you made it here alive. You have not proven yourself... rest assured that the next temple will reject you immediately. You may go, but you will not be allowed to enter. Understood?
Raive spoke aloud and took the fallen blade that now lacked energy. "Should we take this along?" He took some cord and tied it around his belt, feeling the heavy weight. "We might need this."
