Ranma, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune found themselves in a large room with nothing present except for the walls around them and a downward staircase in the middle of the room.
"It's dark," stated Ranma. He wasn't afraid of the dark, of course. He was just worried about the girls.
"Looks spooky," stated Saturn as she moved closer and held on tighter to her boyfr..er Ranma. Neptune nodded her head empathically as she did the same. The fact that Ranma was holding them a little closer himself out some slight fear was promptly taken to the back of hia mind and beaten into submission.
"Since this is the only place to go everything must be down here." With that said Uranus walked down the stairs for a bit before coming back, grabbing Ranma's hand, and pulling him after her. The other two geneis came also as they both refused to let go of Ranma.
Surprisingly enough torches lit up the entire stairwell as they headed down. Pretty soon, the stairs ended and they were in another large room that from the many swords hanging on the walls or stacked in corners seemed to be some type of training hall or armory.
Uranus, since her prefered weapon was a sword anyway, went through the various piles untilshe finally found the one she liked the best hanging on the far left wall along with many others. It was lightweight and seemed to be more of a European longsword but it was able to allow her to focus her Earth based powers better than her current scimitar. It didn't seem as durable though, so she places it in her subspace pocket along with her scimitar before noticing another stairwell like the first one a few feet to her right.
Ranma didn't have a problem with her taking the sword like that as hiss Poppa did the same same thing all the time. Of course, he took scrolls and money, and the temples usally still had people in them and didn't seem to be abandoned, but it was still the same.
Down the next set of stairs was a hallway with four doors and another large room at the end. The first room on the left seemed to a barracks with a dozen rows of bunk beds. The first room on the right contained a sorta mess hall and the group ate a qiuck meal summoned up by Saturn on one of the tables. The second room on the right was a library, and the last room was large and elegantly done. There was a king sized western bed with the headbord agaist the far wall, a bookcase filled with books, many paintings on the walls, a dresser, a desk, and hanging low on a wall an eleganlty made glaive that looked nice and seemed to give off a presence of power.
Saturn gleefully rushed and pulled the weapon off its stand, only to realise heavy it actually was. It would be nothing nothing but a hinderence until she trained with it enough to get back to her current speed at least. However, since her last master sent away her Silence Glaive out of fear she would turn on him. She was not sure were it is now but she knew she could talk Ranma into helping her find it. The one she had been using was able to handle her power properly and until she got her Silence Glaive back this one would do.
"Ranma, perhaps we should rest here. We don't know how much farther we will have to go or if there will even be a chance again." Actually Neptune just wanted to curl up afainst his body more, but felt it wouldn't be proper to say so.
"Um, sure, ok. Why not,"he stated. He wasn't really all that tired but figured that maybe the girls were so climbed into the bed. For some reason though, even if there was plenty of space on the bed, Uranus and Neptune laid onhis sides while Saturn decidely to lay on his chest.
