Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Council, Part 1

Storm attached the phone to the bag's strap, the phone on speaker. Everyone was able to hear each other, as though they were all in the same place.

"Angel, c'mon. We're going," Storm said. Angel nodded and headed inside with him.

The two walked into the temple, seeing nothing in the room. They looked to their right to see the gaping hole they saw earlier. It was a clear room, the stone brick floor broken and in poor condition. Some of the bricks were completely out of place, showing the dirt underneath.

"This is what we've been fighting to get to?" Storm asked Scion through the phone.

"Look deeper. There's definitely something here," Scion advised him.

Storm looked to his left to see that there were stairs that they could climb up.

"I'm climbing up some stairs, alright?" Storm spoke to the cellphone.

"We're going down some stairs," Blaze spoke back. Storm looked to Angel, the two nodding and getting ready to go.

"How long has this been here-?" Storm asked.
