Stimeak and Gamal continued investigateing the chamber for about an hour, Stimeak being drawn back to the three statues again and again.... There was something about the middle one... Something inside it.... He was trying to find any clue as to what they were looking for, Gamal was reading inscriptions around the chamber, hopeing to find some sort of clue.....
Gamal suddenly landed onto the Silver/white crossbreed unexpectedly. Stimeak glanced at him and hissed "Find anything?
Gamal shook his head responding "No... nothing of use.... There was something about converseing with the souls of the past, but unless you are secretly some sort of necromancer, I don't think that can help us..."
Stimeak let out a low hum, thinking about it. He looked back up at the snake like statue... The force he was feeling... He was certain he could applify it through magical means. Though without control of the dead, there was no way to bring its owner back... That didn't mean he couldn't find a suitable stand in.... After a minute or two of open thought, he reached up with both hands, rubbing them against each other before reaching back and flinging two glowing orbs at the Statues chest... the two orbs swirled around each other and then finally slammed into it, a mesh of white lines zipping over it... He stared up at it, willing it to move... Then, he just managed to notice its rocky eye rolling slightly... He Jumped up, clinging onto the rocky snake person and then he leaped upwards again, beating his wings and flying up further...
Gamal followed him. Stimeak eventually leveled out, settling on a beam extending out from the central pillar, stareing into the statues eyes... Gamal landed onto its shoulder and then said loudly and sarcasticly "Well that was usefull. What are we going to do with miss stoney snake?"
Stimeak continued to stare at the statues face... Once he felt he had put in enough energy and aligned the force right, he growled loudly "Hello...." Gamal gave him a funny look for a moment and then leapt off the statue in shock as it opened its mouth, speaking in a supriseingly soft feminine voice with a slight hiss in it "Greetings, Dragon..."
Stimeak walked further along the beam, feeling the weight of Gamal landing onto his back. The statue asked "Pray, who are you?" Stimeak growled loudly, his eyes frowning "Who I am is no matter to you. I am here to help. I was sent here. You have what I need and you know what I want to know..." The statue's eyes seemed to roll strangely, as if what ever was possessing it just changed. It then said melodicly "I see...I am afraid, good Dragon, that I cannot give you the knowledge you seek, but I can lead you on your path. In order to continue, you must accuire the rune of Kerafrym... It is vital.. to our cause..." Stimeak growled thoughtfully. He asked loudly "This rune what is it and where can I find it?" The statue replied "Within the depths of The Sleeper's tomb... It is an artefact of grave importance. You must retrieve it."
Stimeak didn't like the statues wording, but he kept his opinion to himself. He growled loudly "Where can I find The Sleeper's tomb?" The statue's eyes suddenly glowed blue, the entire chamber shakeing, the flameing oily liquid being scattered from the central pillar, landing onto the ground and setting small fires were it touched moss... A small tunnel opened up in the snake ladies necklace, the central gem spliting into four, revealing a dark chasam... The voice sounded once more "This key will bring you there.... You will know where the lock is..." He was about to ask another question when she suddenly repeated in the same voice "You will know where the lock is." A few rocks fell from the chambers roof, unsettled by the movements which opened the small tunnell. Gamal leapt off his back, glideing towards the tunnel and dissappearing in... A few seconds later, he returned with a long red crystal clutched within his claws. He flew over to stimeak, landing onto the dragons head and hissing "Ok, we got what we need, lets get out of here. I think you broke snake lady." The statue was still repeating the same words over and over. Stimeak nodded and leapt off the beam, the force of his jump causeing it to splinter and crack, causeing another disturbance in the chamber's central pillar.
As he flew, avoiding falling rubble calmly, he hissed to Gamal through his mind "Since when were you able to mess with the physical realem, eh?" Gamal chuckled back and replied "You think im going to let you waste that much life magic on a statue? I'm oppertunistic..." Stimeak swooped down a gust of wind helping to propell him foreward and back into the tunnel from earlier, riseing up in an accent towards the surface, the rumbleing of the statues voice dying out behind him and his strange companion...
