That's the thing with curiosity. The more you stand around the more it eats you up, until you finally give in. Evan thought to himself as he stood outside the structure. The large doors seemed to call out for him to open them and enter. He walked to and fro from the stairway to the doors trying to overcome the feeling that had rooted deep to his being.
"I really don't think I can get in with this though..." the words came softly from his mouth, as he held the piece of forbidden machina in his hand. A small smirk pierced his emotionless face as the thought of it being Taboo to so many people rushed into his mind. He quickly searched around the area looking for some sort of hiding spot. His eyes rested on a small crack in the small court. Quickly he rushed up to it and glanced around making sure he was the only one present, and then he quickly fitted the machina inside and walked towards the doors. He paused and sighed as his hand grasped the door handle. With one final look behind him he swung the door open and walked into the main chamber of the temple.
The chamber was an amazing site, statues of previous Summoners stood in key places throughout the chamber and Evan's eyes gazed upon each one of their stone cold visages. A sense of distaste quickly flushed through him and he turned to go back out, his gaze caught the last line of light on the floor before the door closed. His head dipped down and he sighed once again. I can do this, despite how much I disagree with everything this place stands for. It isn't like being in here makes me agree at all right? Right, now I gotta find those two.
"Can I help you sir?"
The voice made Evan jump in surprise, he quickly spun around and looked at the old man who had spoken to him. Quickly Evan composed himself and scratched his head out of embarrassment.
"Uhhh...yeah you can actually. I'm looking for the lady summoner that just came in here. She must've headed for the chamber of fayth no? I've really gotta get better at my time management if I'm supposed to be her guardian right? Hahahaha..."
Evan smiled awkwardly at the old man as he could see the old man looking him over. The old man's brow furrowed and he took a step towards Evan. Evan clenched his teeth, Evan did not want this old guy to make things difficult. The two just stood and studied each other, then finally the old man spoke.
"Take the elevator down, and head straight on through. I don't believe the puzzle has reset yet but you should hurry."
Evan nodded and dashed for the set of doors opposite from the entrance. With a quick shove they opened and he jumped into the elevator. The trip was short but Evan was still being captivated by the beauty of the temple. He wondered towards the room outside the chamber with his eyes jumping from the intricacies throughout the temple.
As Evan passed from the puzzle room to the room outside the chamber the air about him rushed passed him into the room. Evan strolled in with both arms resting again the back of his head. He quickly saw that there were four by the chamber. His mind quickly retraced to the night prior and his run in with the boy.
"Looks like you are all getting along real swell! I never figured this would be the kinda place for everyone just to stand around and talk. Hey punk you didn't run into the Lady Summoner did ya? Heheh...."
Evan's chuckle stopped quickly as he saw the fatigue in the eyes of the boy. A sick feeling sprung from his gut, but Evan couldn't figure out if it was because of what he had just said or because this was the fruit of Yevon's teachings. Evan realized now wasn't the time for his conscience and resolve to debate so he smirked.
"Kid you don't look the greatest, and to think that this is what summoners have to go through for the sake of the people of Spira. I commend your selflessness punk." Even if how you manifest it is misplaced.
Evan made his way closer to the four. At a close but safe distance he paused and folded his arms and with a nod he spoke.
"I never got your name Lady Summoner, in fact I don't know any of ya. For formalities sake to the punk and his lady guardian I'm Evan. It's a pleasure."
(OOC: I'll come back and fix up any little grammatical errors later if there is any....I just wanted to get the post up.)
