The two monks that 'guarded' him stepped back lightly to his demands. "Sir, we can't do..." Their words would be interrupted by a much older looking monk. "It will be fine my brothers... Send him to the girl... We will go join him soon enough to explain the situation..." The elder monk would then bow his head towards Atrius before slowly making his way towards another one of the countless small buildings in the temple. "Uh... Right then.. this way..." one of the monks that was guarding would speak before both would turn to lead the way.<br/><br/>Walking out in the open in the temple it was easy to see crowds of monks gathered around in various places, many talking, some seemed to be in a panic, while others where busy paying... One thing the groups would have in common however was the sudden silence that came the moment they would catch sight of him. The talking, fuss and arguments turning into soft whispers as they watched him travel by.<br/><br/>Reaching the other side of the temple it was clear that there was much more people in the temple that most of the people in the city thought there was... Most beleived it to just be a small group of elders... but this was hardly the case as there was nearly a town of it's own here in the temple, men and women alike, although hard to tell apart as the women along with the men carried bald heads... Although just as noticeably none carried any sort of strange tattoos like the larger man with the butterfly tattoo he seen earlier....<br/><br/>Sight seeing aside it didn't take long to see where the girl was being kept, guarded by female monks it seemed this was more less a woman's only area... Although with some mild explanation and bows from the monks that lead him there he alone was allowed to enter the small building. Inside he would be lead down a small hall that soon opened to a room that had it's screens open, facing outward to a small Koi pond. It was then he would see the maiden again, although oddly still asleep... One lady-monk was combing her hair while the other seemed to simply be standing guard... Both quickly left however when Atrius stepped into the room. "The elders will be here shortly..." The woman too spoke before leaving him alone with the girl. Why did they leave him alone with her?...<br/><br/>Looking down at the girl she was dressed in clothing similar to the monks, however dressed in a shade of blue... While her lashes where still crossed from her slumber it was clear her chest was rising and falling as she was continuing to breath... But the question still remained... Why had she not awakened?... While he was left alone with her he wasn't left alone with her long as soon one elder monk after another soon started to slip into the room, each taking a seat in front of the still sleeping girl. A total of six men.... "So you did decide to stay... that makes things much easier..." the eldest elder spoke befor waving a hand to offer him to sit.<br/><br/>It would seem strange they would gather around the girl like this, almost acting as she wasn't even there... But there even from the elders he could get a feeling of fear from them. "I am sure you are wondering why you are here... or rather how you found this maiden...." the eldest elder again spoke. "I can't say for much expect you have simply been chosen by the god of earth.... But why he choose to awaken such destruction is beyond us..." The elder gestured to the girl. "This maiden has been under our protection for nearly 16 generations.... And has been under the Earth god's projection even longer... The task of watching over her given to us as the wars between the gods have become far too hostile for him to remain among his followers..."<br/><br/>The other elders seemed to grow rather nervous but yet remained quiet as the eldest elder continued to speak. "It was told that when the maiden would awaken with it the wrath of the gods would fall from the heavens... For she holds the key to not only extinguish their power, but even removing them from existence...."
