Jak {8} ^{-15 from entry}


Jak and Noel venture deeper into the cave to visit the ruins. One could only describe the placed as having all the rocks shattered there. The ruins where quite large. Jak had never expected something this big to be in a place like this. One thing he noticed is that the ruins had a silver glow in certain spots from bits of light coming through some unknown place. It seemed it might be reflected from someplace in the tunnels. 

"This place... Feels hostile..." Jak said as he shivered slightly.
He turned towards Noel seeing if there was an explanation to this...

He then looked towards one of the tablets near him that seemed to be split in two.
It was in footprint runes and in unknown symbols.

Description of why pieces are unreadable:

It reads: "Behold, Silent Temple. May those who ~Unreadable~ Disturb those ~Unreadable~ Beware..."

Jak stared at it trying to interpret the rest of the message.
He looked to Noel to see if she could understand the damaged bits.

Noel nods and walks ahead feeling like she shouldn't of said that. She was a little mad about this whole ordeal but it had been the same last time she was in the forest only the one getting mad over feral Pokemon was her. She had defended another Pokemon even though it was feral and it ended up helping her out later so she knew not all feral Pokemon were bad. Hell she had even explored this dungeon with a Pokemon that called itself feral.

"Aren't we already" she said still walking a little confused at his choice of words. She then shrugged it off like she normally did to things that didn't really matter.

Jak listened to his surroundings as they walked. He heard the sound of something spinning in the air. He looked towards the sound to see a baltoy practicing rapid spin. He decided to stay silent for now to see if it would attack them. It did not seem like it as it did take notice but continued to practice its move on some of the rubble in the area.

He did not notice the box nearby. He looked back up towards the baltoy to make sure it did not do anything that could be a threat. It was still just practicing its spinning... "Wonder how it prevents itself from getting dizzy." he said to himself.

Noel looks over to see another Pokemon who seemed to not try and kill them, they must of come here at a great time because almost none had tried to attack the two so they were free to explore. She then thought of something how did it spin so much without getting dizzy. Maybe it had some sort of mindset that prevents it from getting dizzy likely how some Pokemon could handle having fire in their mouths.

She shrugs this off as she turns and looks at a box on the ground, she bent down and picked it up looking at it for a second before placing it into her bag. She had heard from Varda there was a place to open these so she'd go there later.

Jak {14}
Jak looked around for a bit. He decided not to think too much on the idea on how it did not get dizzy from such an attack. He glanced at Noel to see if she was doing alright. He did see earlier how she was in some pain when she had hit the mawile earlier.

He looked around the area. Seeing if there was anything of interest.
He was getting a bit bored from the adventure. He noticed a another wall with strange symbols all over it. ^{Note:Unknown Runes}

He could not make out any of the words on the runes. He looked to see if Noel had followed him to the wall.

Noel looked around the ruins then her eye's set on another wall with things that couldn't be read but deciding to keep up her small jokes. "I still think it just says don't run in the halls" she said with a smile as she looked around the room for anything if use until her eye's set on a small seed on the ground.

She went over to it and inspected it she knew it was a stun seed as she picked it up off the ground and looked at it for a second. She remembered one of these pretty much saved her from a huge fight the same one she had gotten her injuries from but she also had one herself. "You want this?" She asked handing it to Jak.

Jak was looking at the runes and then heard Noel say. "I still think it just says don't run in the halls."
Jak laughed at the joke. "If it did. That be even funnier." he said while chuckling.
Noel picked up the stun seed and asked Jak if he wanted.

He nodded as he took the seed. He thanked her and looked at the seed for a moment. It had a strange smell to it. Something you would not want to eat. After a moment he remembered that kind of smell of this particular kind of seed. It was a stun seed. "Stun seed?" He sort of asked for confirmation of his thought. He was still not used to identifying seeds. He knew some of the common ones but others he had no clue.

Noel nods to confirm it was a stun seed. She wondered why there was a wall here with runes on it, it must of had some reason for this not being a joke now she did give this some thought as she crossed her arm's and thought for a moment. "In a ruin at my home island my mother found out there was a group of Pokemon who worshipped something of a God of all Pokemon."

She then let her arm's drop as she explained why she said that. "That might be what happened here, at least that would make the most sense" she said giving her thoughts on this.

Jak {13}
He nodded at the idea. "That could make sense. I wish I knew what it said though." He then replied.
He took a closer look at the symbols on the wall. He did not recognize them at all. He then stepped back at looked over the entire wall.

Jak felt as if he was being watched all of a sudden. He snapped around to see nothing at first. He then looked at Noel to see if she might of felt it too. He sighed as he returned to look at the wall.

After a moment of thought he figured there was not much they could make of the wall's message so he walked around it to see if anything was behind it. Turned out it was not a wall but a large cube with the same runes on each side. "Oh... that is... different." he managed to get out from the slight surprise.

He felt as something was watching him again. He ignored it this time.

Noel sighs wishing she had someone here who knew a lot of old language. She remembered a Pokemon she met in the forest before maybe she'd know what this said but unless she knew how to read broken writing she'd not know what is says.

Noel looked behind her and spotted a stone on the ground, she walked over and picked it up it was a evolution stone in her hand, she looks for a second before showing it to Jak. "Want this?" She asked having no real use for it.

Jak {12} ^{-1 from encounter}
Jak saw Noel pick something up. She asked him if he wanted and shook his head no.
"Nah you can have it. By the way what is it?" He replied.
He never saw a stone like that before. It had a strange color to it.

He looked again at the direction where he thought he was being watched.
"Do you feel like something is watching us?" he then asked. He just could not rid himself of the feeling. Something was off over here by the wall.

Noel places the stone in her bag and goes to explain what this was. "It's called a dusk stone it allows a certain Pokemon to evolve" she said as she made sure the stone wouldn't fall out if her pack happy she then looks around with her aura sense to try and find the thing that was watching them.

She then takes out a blast seed and throws it at the area she felt was the right way. She hit her target as a Zubat gets blown up and falls to the ground as it tries to get up again.

Jak {8} ^{-4 from encounter}
Jak watched Noel throw a blast seed in what seemed to him a random direction. As it blew up he immediately felt some relief from what he felt like was something watching him. He saw the explosion and a zubat fell to the ground. It attempted to get up but failed. He then just stayed on the ground.

Jak looked around for a moment. He felt something move beneath him. "What was that..." he said very softly to himself. After a couple of seconds it stopped.

The ground then began to shake quite roughly for a moment. He looked towards Noel and at one point he fell onto his knee's from the shaking. One of the walls that they had recently went past collapsed leaving a lot of dust in the air. After the shaking had stopped and the dust cleared. The whole dungeon looked completely different.

"Don't tell me..." he said with a sudden shift in his mood.
After a brief pause in his thought.
"It shifted..." he ended with. He went in his bag and looked for something to give him a boost in energy just in case the feral pokemon were angered by the sudden quake.

He grabbed one of the sitrus berries and began eating it. He listened carefully for any more movement. It seemed that cube they were by was still there and it was not damaged much at all.

Noel threw her arm in front of her and covered her mouth with her sleeve to block the dust that kicked up out of no where. When it settled she noticed that everything had changed the dungeon seemed to of flipped itself everything was different from before but when Noel looked behind her she saw a huge wall blocking the way they came.

She also took note of a Pokemon running away from them as she gets into a defensive position ready for anything that would come at them.

Jak {14} ^{-9 from encounters}
Jak built up a flame as he heard some noise from up ahead. Turns out that noise was not exactly ahead of them. It was beneath him. The ground starting cracking. He quickly looked down and saw what was happening. He attempted to push noel out of the way. He knew that if the it was a large fall. Her injuries would only worsen. As he did so the ground gave way. He still had some of the flame built up and as he fell. He half screamed from surprise and some of the ember hit the side of the hole as he fell. He attempted to grab anything he could as he fell. He could not find much. The whole grew to a pretty large size. At first he did not notice Noel falling in with him. He then extended his claws as far as he could hoping he could try to grip some of the wall. He managed to get it. However it was a little late as the wall quickly disappeared from view and he fell another 10 feet before landing on top of a wall.

Upon looking back up at the hole. It seemed he fell quite some distance. He was surprised he did not get too seriously hurt from the fall. It looked to be a good 30 feet from where he started falling. The ceiling was only 10 feet high and the 20 feet he fell he could see a long scratch along the side of the wall that was half the length of the hole.

"Noel you alright!" He shouted up there. He was a little worried if he had hurt her when he went to push her out of the way. He did not see her fall but that was not entirely certain she was not down here with him. The hole is quite large.

He then saw something shine below him. It looked like two gems. They just gems. It was a sableyes's eyes. It did not look to hostile. Although it did look a bit upset from the roof caving in.

As Jak went to stand up. He realized he was not so lucky after all. He did not exactly escape from injury. He fell back down on his knee's. "Crap!" he mumbled in pain. "Not so lucky after all." he then said. Still in pain.

He then remember the last time he fell in a hole. He was traveling through Pecha forest with Fang then. He looked at his arm that he landed on that time. It was fine this time. However it seems he had possibly sprained his leg or even broke it. Although the second option was highly unlikely.

The sableye did not attack but looked at him and tilted its head to one side. It definitely did not seem hostile. It jumped up onto the wall and kept its distance from Jak. It was hesitant to come near. It noticed Jak's bag on the ground below and it looked towards Jak. It then looked back towards the bag and back at Jak again. Noticing how Jak was grabbing his leg in pain. It then jumped down next to his bag and starting going through it.

"What are you doing?" He said calmly as he felt the sableye was not hostile. It then got two sticks from his bag and grabbed what looked like a vine from somewhere nearby. He jumped back up to Jak and slowly approached with the two stick and the vine in hand.

Jak was not entirely sure what it was up to.

It was weird that Jak had tried to push her considering she was like twice his size so she didn't do much but wonder why. She did react to the ground shaking and jumped backwards and landed safely over at the edge of the hole that opened up.

She looks for Jak to see if he got out of the way and noticed he didn't as she looked down. "You ok?" She yells pretty much as he yells if she was ok.
