    After claiming the weapons, Bruce and Brandon walked back out of the respective rooms, hoping to thank the Sphinxes before leaving, but found the temple entirely empty."Where could they have gone?" Brandon asked."A better place, I hope" Bruce replied as he noticed the heaps of sand where the Sphinxes previously stood."Well, we have what we came here for; let's go,", Brandon said, swinging the staff by his side."Yeah, everything about the weapon feels worth it, even the design". Bruce said, admiring the intricate blue carvings that formed diagrams of every lightning-wielding supernatural; Brandon's staff had a similar look, the only difference being that his had fire-wielding supernatural with a beautiful red hue in addition to the orange colour.Noticing a new door, the pair stepped through to find themselves in a large hallway with drawings and writings of alien origin on both sides of the wall."Looks like an origin story of some sort," Bruce said."The drawings are so life-like

    As they flew through the night skin, curtains of light appeared in the sky, like the northern lights back on Earth but more prominent and heading in a particular direction."The Aurora borealis" Came a slight whisper from Bruce."You are awake, how are you feeling?" Brandon asked."Better than I should, where's Nicole?" Bruce said."He's flying behind us" Brandon replied."Flying? Oh my!!!" Bruce exclaimed gripping unto Brandon tight as he looked down."Relax, I have got you," Brandon said."Right, will we be able to make it in one night?" Bruce asked."I don't know" Brandon sighed.They flew for a few more hours, following the trail of light. There were a few occasional screeches and growls from below, but none could reach them; disappointed expressions appeared on their faces as the sun peeped from behind the sandy mountains."We should continue on foot. You guys can rest your wings, and I sort of need to take the piss", Bruce said.Spreading his senses around the areas, he landed,

Brandon asked."They understand my reasons, these are tough times and a lot of kids your age come out here in hopes of finding something to help them make a living, most never return, I myself have witnessed too many young deaths to count, it's why we offer our protection to young mercenaries without having them joining us" Harvey explained."Thank you, that's very kind of you; we will see you around,", Brandon said."Hey Harvey, should we follow t
