"Rea, for the love of the gods, please, let's just return home..." That man said, sighing a bit. That young woman had tried everything to make the gate work, tried magic, gems, her own crystal half. She went as far as to try empowering the gate with herbal packets. All of these methods seemed to fail, seemed to have no real effect on it. "I think it may be time to admit defeat...."<br/><br/>"No! We will not! We cannot! Tobias, listen to yourself." She turned around, still standing in the archway as she scolded the older man. "We will not lay down our weapons to the enemy, we will not let the darkness win. Father's health is failing, yes, but that doesn't mean we shoulder surrender." She was a spirited, strong willed young woman. It seemed for someone so young that she had seen much of the darkness that entrapped her world. She was not going to back down, she was not going to surrender. Though, she was soon pulled from her thoughts.<br/><br/>The crystal around her neck was glowing brighter and brighter, the golden arch seemingly radiating with the same glow, both humming almost. She turned around, a light forming as she backed away from the arch. She had never seen it do this, never seen it react. Her first reaction was that somehow, that evil stone was near, it's carrier had found this temple. But, part of her felt that was not true. She came closer to the gate, watching as the light became brighter, becoming bigger.
