Chapter 2 - Guardian of the forgotten path

In a deep dark misty environment they are falling quite slowly until, they find out that there's no way they can land safely so, they begin to panic.They then use kakuzi's shirt as a glider then land and get submerged in water.

They swim out of the water and begin to breathe heavily for sometime. Hiro then shows them a path they can pass through and they all get lead by him on the path. As they are walking begin to ask questions about each other and easily become friends.

As they were following the path they see a strange rock that has orange goo inside. Out of curiosity Hiro approaches it then Azumi screams for him to stop but, she was too late and The rock starts illuminating and rocks begin to levitate to everyone's surprise. Just then, the rock begins to conjoin and forms into a celestial golem. Celestial golem according to the bestiary are predictable, big rock monsters that find place on the ground and Scatter right before they fall sleep on the ground.

The Celestial golem was having a nap when it felt the vibrations of someone walking and woke up. Hiro then attempts to fight it . The Celestial golem begins to shoot rocks at him but, he easily slashes them. Hiro then runs at it and begins to fight it head on until, it use it's body and make a sword and shield then drives Hiro to a corner. Azumi then steps in and tries to use her moths for the first time which when it comes in contact with the golem turns it into a dark stone which fade into Ashes after about 3 seconds.

Hiro then begins panting uncontrollably and becomes upset that their powers are stronger and more useful than his. Kakuzi then patted his head and told him to cheer up that he can train and become stronger. Hiro then grins and gets up as they continue. As they go, they see clues of footsteps over long distances then they begin to believe that their parents walked on that floor. So the footsteps lead to a small pyramid statue that has Soulforge within it. He approaches the statue then touches it and a light on his forehead shines and all the power inside the statue depletes into his body.

As he was doing that, a giant minotaur comes running and goes berserk but, kakuzi takes a stands and stops it with soulforge then askes it why it is running so fast. It then says it "I don't have time I need to ..... " The minotaur is then grabbed by some spirit like hand and taken into the darkness.

They all see it as Creepy and flee to a cave. As they are inside the cave they tell hiro to go and get some food supplies and wood for Azumi to cook. When hiro goes he gets lost and ventures into a forest. As hiro was venturing he sees Gloomfang and then carries his sword to kill it but, a creature called a voidspawn that sucks darkness approaches the Gloomfang and devours it and has Intentions to kill him.

The voidspawn chases him and he runs as fast as he can. He then sees the same cave that he came from then Jumps and barely manages to enter. When he is inside, he notices that it was not the same cave and that it was a cave for the gloomfangs.

He then uses it as an opportunity to kill all of them and get thier meat. Meanwhile, the voidspawn is still waiting outside so, he throws some meat of the gloomfang outside and the voidspawn chases after it while, Hiro is running out of the cave.

He eventually, makes it back to the cave but not before cutting down a tree. Inside the cave where Azumi and kakuzi are he gives them the food. kakuzi then gets up and begins to strangle him until, he falls back to sleep. Azumi then says that he is very hungry and has gone dillusional. Hiro then gives Azumi the meat to prepare.

Azumi makes a fire with her magic, then hangs the meat over the fire. when the meat is ready they wake kakuzi up and they all Enjoy the meat together although, there is no satisfactory feeling afterwardsbecause, there are no spices. After the food, they decide to all huddle up and go to sleep.

The next morning, they wake up and go to find a clues on their parents so, they leave the cave to a rocky place that seems to have ruins on the walls. Azumi then tells Kakuzi to read the inscriptions written on the wall.

Kakuzi read out saying: "A dim light and grey whisper, a cloth rope and tides whisker, an animal that sings with sharp claws but, domesticated and semi-passive with instincts of a beast. use the animal's name and fill it in".

All of them gathered and thought about it for a while before coming to the conclusion that it was a cat. So Kazuki wrote in the language that it was a cat and the wall begins to shamble and a door is revealed with a big Carving of number one signifying that it was the door to chamber one.

So they gathered around the mysterious door and then entered it and there were taken into the first chamber of the chasm.
