Aengus and Bella stood atop a towering mountain, before a giant cave.
At the entrance of the dark cave was an ominous red statue of a coiled serpent.
"Hubby, you said the Ancient Red Serpent Deity had marked you, right? So, we need to destroy this temple to weaken his influence. Although the effect won't be immediate, if we continue destroying his temples, your problem might be solved more easily," Bella said, gathering energy in her palm to destroy the statue.
"That's not a bad idea. We should order the army to destroy all of the nearby temples as well," Aengus agreed, letting her proceed as she wished, while he send a message to Sienna using her Naga pearl. Her Naga pearl was now much stronger and more useful for long distance communication.
Both of them remained cautious, in case any unexpected problems arose, though the likelihood seemed low.
To start, Bella conjured a small ball of Phoenix flames to test the temple's defenses.
"Kaboom!"
