As Kou worked through the next clue, one might wonder what Miki was up to? Strangely the blonde lass, was leaning over filling a small bag with crystals similar to the one she'd handed over to the lad earlier in the morning. They were being gathered in a place within Atlantis' borders but a fair ways from the main portion of the City. When she'd thought she'd gathered enough, she took a deep breath and stood, stretching her spine just a bit. 'Aah!~' she mentally chimed looking off into the distance at nothing at all. 'Hm, I wonder if he made it to the Temple, yet? That one was a bit tricky,' she thought, giving a gentle bite of her bottom lip. Even so, she decided to believe in the lad's abilities, and mounted the Wolf at her side headed for another location entirely.
It seemed that her worries were for naught, as Kou made his way to the Temple and with a little observation managed to find the site of his next set of clues. This time the at the statue of a Mermaid that those of the faith in this place worshiped as one of its saints. The name engraved at the bottom of this statue was Serinis the Kind, and hers was a name recognizable to some from game lore, given she was one of the famed heroes of Atlantis. Her own rune stone had even been set up in this temple to acknowledge her as a minor deity. Many found themselves taking and making offerings before this statue for health and wellness. This statue was obviously another rune stone, though smaller than the great one on its own, it still maintained the warmth and tranquility of the other one, perhaps even a bit more vibrant than it had been before. And immediately to its left was more invisible writing.
This time the symbol on top would be viewed as a bit strange. It looked like a pair of crossed swords with a shield atop them, and again would be a symbol with no immediate reference. Beneath this two more unreadable words, though one, if memory served was repeated from earlier. The scripted Runic markings reading 'min' and 'canaque', would be seen. Underneath both of these, was two arrows one pointing left and the other pointing down. And it was meant the literal sense, as behind this Temple was a staircase, now freed by the Guardians which led down to the open Militia Base. And this base was housed, in its own air pod within the kingdom. Within the open courtyard of this, where there were no others was another statue, of the dual swords with a shield beneath them, in homage to the warrior who'd founded the base, but wanted no images of himself around. Instead this rune stone in his honor was left to his weapons which he used to protect this place and the lives of the people therein. There was a pattern beginning to take place here... but the strange connection between each of these stones was supposed to become clearer as time went on.
