New Rising

Kote rubbed his forehead. "That's the main problem, we have to think of where other potential copies of the prophecy might be located and go on a search for them"

Raine stood up frustrated, "Well you know more than I do. You're gonna have to have the ideas here..."

"Well... lets assume that there are more temples to the Demon Lord, as there must be throughout the world. Maybe the prophecy was written down in other places as well." Kote guessed.

Raine shivered and stepped towards him. "Then can we be on our way?"

"Yeah... I suppose." Kote thought for another minute, before holding out his hands.

Raine grabbed Kote's hands and waited for him to take them to wherever they were going.

Kote blinked and they reappeared in a shallow swamp, getting their feet and legs soaked as Kote swore. "Sorry... it's just, well, apparently there's a teleportation block on the next temple."

Raine looked around slowly. "Where's it at, then?"

"That way." Kote pointed to the far side of the swamp. "There's another temple over there."

Malakai transformed easily into a snake again and made his way through the swamp. Kote following behind slowly. "We're headin off I guess."

Raine followed, looking around the swamp in wonder. "What kind of creatures dwell here?"

"Alligators." Kote smiled as he unsheathed the Key from his back and held it aloft, trying to make sure that nothing would attack thm while he was unaware. "Be on your guard."

Raine nodded and trailed behind them, looking over her shoulder constantly.

Kote held out his hand and smiled. "Dont worry, with Malakai on our side, I think they wont take to us nearly as easily. You really worried?"

"No... I just want to make sure. Why the hell would I be scared? I could take down this whole swamp with one thought." Raine laughed.

"Sure..." Kote laughed and walked on, slowly beginning to levitate above the swampy water, not wanting to be soggy anymore. They soon made their way to the other side of the swamp, which wasnt very long, and there stood a shrine, a small shrine made of stone with a simple stone roof over it to the Demon Lord. "Alright, this is the closest one to the pyramid, I think we should look around for clues or secret panels or something."

Raine looked at the water around the shrine, it was like a moat. She pulled all the water, letting it float above the rock floor underneath, writing all over the stones. "Kote?"
