If we keep poking at 'em like <strong>YOU</strong> seem to want to then they're <strong>ALWAYS</strong> gonna outnumber us! You can't fight back against a crushing wave with a scalpel, Egghead! Sometimes you need a hammer!"</em>Lark stormed over to a fallen boarbatusk and raised her left foot.<em>"Can't teach a hammer to love nails."</em>She grunted and slammed her booted foot down upon the thing, her Cloud Kicker going off on impact and demolishing the fallen Grimm. Poking her tongue out in disgust, she wiped her heel on the grass.<em>"Hmph."</em><br/><br/>Lark brushed herself off and glanced around. They'd finished off the entire pack. She observed for a moment, then looked at Olive.<em>"I killed more of them,"</em>she announced, and started walking off into the forest.<br/><br/><em>"C'mon, let's go finish your precious mission! Unless you wanna stay here and yammer about how best to do that for another ten minutes?"</em>Lark could be infuriating when she wanted to be. At least she was walking, though, and allowing him to keep the pace with her. She could've just ran off again and left Olive in the dust. So that was something worth noting. Also worth noting was the fact that, thanks to the extended battles the other groups were having, the Grimm were drawn away from Lark and Olive and so the mis-matched pair didn't encounter any resistance on their way to the edge of the forest where the ruins lay.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><hr/><div align="center">(http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k512/MissF1R3/Temple_zpsnj1pr7j4.png)</div><hr/><br/><br/>The old temple was in a small clearing at the north end of the Emerald Forest. It lay in ruins, half of it destroyed by time and circumstance. It's skeletal remains housed small pillars upon which sat a variety of chess pieces. Half white, half black. Some of these were missing, indicating that other teams had already come and gone. As they arrived, Olive and Lark could see two of their fellow students departing with their piece. One was a massive woman in a long black coat and hat, from which flowed unkempt dark hair. The other was a robed warrior resembling a female samurai. She walked with a limp and it was hard to tell how she'd even managed to make it this far into the forest. This samurai noticed Olive and Lark. She paused a moment and seemed to stare right through them, before simply turning and following her larger companion off. It was odd that they'd managed to beat Lark and Olive to the ruins, considering the lackadaisical pace at which they were currently moving. Neither amazon nor samurai seemed to be in any hurry at all.<br/><br/>Lark was miffed at their late arrival,<em>"Pfft! How'd they beat us?"</em>she griped,<em>"You should've been walking faster. You're like an albacor around my neck!"</em>She'd meant to say 'albatross' but Lark was a hammer and they weren't known for their high IQ. Regardless, the white-haired girl marched up to the ruins and swiped the Gold Knight piece from the nearest stand. She held it up.<em>"Ta-dah. Happy?"</em>
