As we came into the clearing we decided it would be best to camp for the day even though it only noon so we could look around and decide what the best course of action would be to tackle this obstacle. The first thing I noticed after we set up camp was that there were three distinct temples surrounding the area.
One of them looked like the embodiment of the sun with a lot of bright colors although most of them were faded due to time being cruel to it. It seemed to have a more inviting entrance into the depths of the earth with torches lighting most of the way, at least for as far as the eye could see.
Another one looked like the night sky with torches on the outside as compared to the sun temple with the torches on the inside. It was entirely made of dark colors and seemed to have an open roof to let the moonlight in, although now it was letting quite a bit more sunlight through the various rains the temple had suffered.
Then there was the third temple which seemed to be entirely demolished as there were barely any remnants that the temple was a symbol of anything. The way it looked, however, it seemed to be almost twice as big as the other two temples and possibly the head temple over all of them.
Any one of these temples could possibly hold this great artifact, but I felt that the location of the markings were almost all correspondingly pointing toward the middle of the three temples. Which meant that more than likely this artifact was in the center of these temples. Judging by the way these temples were laid out, one or all of them could lead directly to the center of this buildings. The problem was just that though, which path was correct?
"Well it's quite simple then," Billy said that night after most of the archeologists were finished studying the temples, "We split up into three groups and search each temple. One of us should find the artifact tomorrow and hopefully before sundown."
As Billy was splitting people up in groups for tomorrow's venture, he allowed me to choose which group I wanted to be in, considering I would probably be the most helpful in whatever group I chose. So I decided to go with...
(Note: From here there will be three simple introductions into each temple. However, I plan to only focus on one of these three paths. All three paths can or will lead into the location of the wishing stone, but I will leave two of these paths up to your interpretation.)
