The door then starts rolling out of the way. It locks into place inside the wall, with a loud stone click.
Zeke starts walking inside and feona and jack follow after.
Jack looks around, the temple is one square, each corner equally measured, carved out of stone, in the middle back of the temple, Stood a bird statue with little living creatures at the feet of the giant bird. The bird looked to be in humanoid form, as it head's was set in a reared upward position.
"Our religion is based on the fact, that the thunder bird brought us to life and the rest of the world, when it screeched and blew air from it's great wings and lungs, causing life to erupt along the lands it passed, It is our most sacred thing." Zeke said
"that's pretty interesting." Feona said
"so" jack said
"how do we get to the tower from here, This room doesn't have another passage in it, just the outside.
Jack said puzzled
"everything is not as it seems" Zeke said
Zeke walked up to the statue which and said "delle Kree'arra Kar loup ka, delle, Hikar takar Jaice"
suddenly the statue starts rumbling then it begins to slide to side, Revealing another passage way.
Zeke walks quickly into the passage. "come on, it will close soon" Jack and feona jog over to zeke.
The statue slides back into place behind them cutting off there only sorce of light, and thne passage way goes completely pitch black.
"illumanti" Jack pulls out his glass jar feeling for it, and casts illumante on it.
The small jar lights up.
"Zeke, why didn't you tell us it would be dark in here, i would of lit this up sooner" Jack said
"you can't see in the dark?" Zeke asked innocently
"no, you can?." Jack asked
"yes our kind does our hunting at night"
"hmm" jack says in wonder of this weird foreign yet intriguing creature in front of him
The party continue down the perfectly carved out of stone passage way. For another 3 hours they walk down this passge, then the passage forms into stone stairs, The stone stairs last for 10 minutes of climbing

The stone stairs last for 10 minutes of climbing, then the ground goes even again, they run into 5 more stair cases, before finally they reach, the under ground entrance to the Thunder bird's tower.
The entrance to the tower looked like it was made of them same metal stone mix jack had saw earlier. It had no markings on it, just a clean slightly metallic shine.
"how do you open it? feona asked zeke
"I don't know if you two can enter, but we will try" the lizard murmured
Jack picked up on Zeke's anxiety
"Zeke, tell us what gonna happen?" Jack asked slightly alarmed
"well, when I say in my language "Thunder bird we worship you, oh great thunder bird won't you greet us passage, so that we may praise who made us"
Zeke said
"this will trigger the tower's guardian of the entrance to appear to check if we are true to our words, seeing if we are, he will open the tower"
"the problem is, you two are human and not of my tribe, The guardian will probably attempt to kill us."
"would it be possible to trick the guardian?" feona asked
"I don't think so, But we can try" Zeke declared
Zeke walks up to the door, and starts chanting "deca louka doc iver t, Go lo biceit demons, iworpigi sdn kearr"
A orb of light appears, slowly the orb of light expands into a humanoid figure, then slowly the light fades to reveal a eagle headed person with a clean white staff.
The guardian spoke in a other wordy deep voice "Do your words ring true?" the guardian loomed
"yes, guardian of the tower" Zeke said graciously then bowed on one knee, Zeke side looked at jack as he did this, Jack and feona quickly then bowed on one knee also.
"very well"
The guardian spoke
"you may pass, but not the humans not of your tribe" The guardian added
"they will have to wait for your return, or go back, the choice is yours"
The guardian opens the door for zeke.
Jack's heart starts beating fast as he tries to think of something to say
"wait great guardian!, We are of the tribe" jack said

The guardian looks at jack
"I am of the tribe zaro's ruler of the underground"
"I have been sent here to extend our greetings, we wish to take part in the worship of the great Kree'arra the thunder bird" Jack's lies flow easily as he speaks
The guardian looks struck by thought,
"very well, We accept your offering of worship"
The guardian turns into light again, and goes back into a orb of light and disappears
The grey door disappears revealing stairs cases, Zeke walks forward, the party follows.
"let's camp here" jack said, looking at the small area there was before the stairs began.
"I agree" feona responds
the party sets up there bags on the stone cold floor, making sure there skin does not come in contact with the dead coldness. Jack hears feona's stomach growl loudly, there food was out, even rationed it only lasted a week down here, all jack had left was a piece of rock cake that he was saving for himself, he felt his own hungry shake him. Jack walks over to feona and gives her the rock cake piece.
"jack, I'm fine you eat the rock cake" feona said humbly
"no it's okay, I'm not hungry" Jack smiled
"okay" feona said
Jack was sleeping against the wall since he had no blanket, his ancient staff in hand just in case anything attacked them at night.
The next day they ate nothing for breakfast they had nothing to eat. Zeke again lead them, up countless metal stone looking stairs they went, the tower smelled like nothing, all the floors they had went up had no windows, Feona was starting to feel trapped she told jack, as they kept passing what seems the same place over and over again.
the next day again, they passed countless stairs and floors, with no indicator what time it was outside, or how close they were to getting to the top, Jack was beginning to wonder if they might starve before they could reach the mighty bird.
"maybe we should turn back, and bring more food next time"
Feona said with anxiousness she knew how close to death they were at this point.

Feona said with anxiousness she knew how close to death they were at this point, they couldn't last for more then 2 days she thought bitterly. She had thought she had saw a pool of water earlier but it was just the shiny floor reflecting the strange light. She was so thirsty her tongue hurt in her mouth, it felt as dry as cotton.
"Zeke, how close to the top do you think we are?" jack had a hard time forming the words, he knew what to say, but the words were hard to form.
"we are 2 days away from the top i estimate." Zeke replied seemingly in fine shape.
they continued journeying for another 30 minutes, jack is climbing the stairs behind feona, when she faints right in front of him Jack catches her before her body hits the hard stairs.
"we have to turn around Zeke, feona won't last another day" Jack said
"no" Zeke replied flatly
"what do you mean?." Jack asked
"no, we can't" Zeke replied
"If you aren't gonna come with me, then I'll guess I'll have to carry her all the way back" jack said as he turned around and started heading down the stairs.
"no" Zeke said "we can't this isn't a normal tower, it is of course enchanted with strong god like magic"
"you aren't allowed to leave until you have paid worship to the thunder bird,
If you continue going down, the stairs will never end, forever trapping you in the tower until your body can no longer last" Zeke stated
"we are gonna need to speed up then" Jack threw feona over his shoulder and started climbing up double the speed, abusing his body for what little it had left.
"i admire your determination Jack" Zeke commented
Zeke fell in behind jack now.
They continued non stop now, they didn't take a break for sleeping, jack wouldn't allow it.
All jack kept thinking about was his current task "every step is another step closer to the top" he thought over and over again, hypnotized by his own self determination. As he watched his feet take step by step.
"we are almost there" Zeke said as they just cleared another floor.

"we are almost there" Zeke said as they just cleared another floor. what little of jack's brain that was still active, rejoiced quietly in his brain.
"okay" jack managed to reply

hey readers of this story,
Happy break can't add to the story right now, He's traveling right now. he's gonna be gone for a few days, but he's gonna text me what he wants to add.

so be prepared.
"okay" jack managed to reply
They continued for another 30 minutes, Suddenly zeke stops stepping.
"let's take a break if not just for a minute" Zeke said though breathes
Jack puts feona softly down on the floor, hating to stop. Jack checks feona's forehead, "Oh no" jack thought her head was hot to the touch, she wasn't sweating she looked dry. She's dying of dehydration, Suddenly her unconscious body shakes as she dry coughs, jack thinks he hears a tear in her throat.
"Zeke, do you have any water at all, I need it." Jack spoke
"I am out as you" Zeke spoke solemnly
"damn it, My teacher taught me to never do this..." Jack said
Jack pulls out his glass jar, and his dagger.
"what are you doing?" Zeke asked alarmed by the sight of a suddenly pulled dagger.
"I'm gonna do the most complex magic I know...transfiguration..."jack said, Grabbing his dull red bladed dagger it gleaming dully in the tower's strange light that seemed to come no where.
Jack turns away from Zeke
Zeke see's jack pull up his arm, jack dressed in well fitted black clothes, Jack's left hand raises to his right hand.,
"one cannot make something out of nothing..." jack murmured before the moment
Then Zeke see's the motion of the left hand slashing. as the left hand went from the right to left.
Zeke hears the sound of rapid fluid dripping into glass, this continues for another 30 seconds, Jack's left hand lurches for his bag, and pulls out a black clothe band, Zeke see's jack's animations as he wraps it around his point of injury.
Jack whispers something that sounds darkly disturbing and hateful but zeke can't make out the words.
Jack turns around with a glass of water in hand, only finger nail high, Jack grabs feona's head gently, as he pours the water into her mouth. She coughs at first but soon drinks.

Jack gets up, and pulls feona up as well.
"let us continue." Jack says as he begins to continue up the tower, Zeke follows in.
Jack and zeke are forced to sleep at the next floor's platform, as they are exhausted, Zeke sleeps deeply, Jack has nightmares of losing feona, He felt like he had a connection to her. He dreamed of her that night, she was at the lake with him, and he told her the same joke in his memory, as she begins to laugh like he remembers she gets tugged away by some unknown force into the forest, She strechs out her hand and screams a high pitched "jack", but jack can't help he can't move.
The next day jack and zeke start there journey
"where's breakfest?" jack asked zeke
"there's no food" Zeke replied
"you ******* tongue flicking lizard, you're keeping it all for yourself" Jack claimed angrily
"no, jack, We've been out of food, for 4 days now, this tower is almost at ends though" Zeke tried to calm jack
"I don't believe you" Jack starts mouthing words, a ice bolt fly's towards Zeke
The magic dies down before it hits him.
"My kind is impervious to magic, like the dragons we are descended from, stop this facade jack." Zeke finally showing some emotion
"hehe" jack thought in his mind, I'll wait for him to turn his back, then strike him down.
Zeke started leading up the stairs,
jack followed with crazy eyes, with crazy thoughts, deprived of natural resources, plagued with starvation and dehydration, combined with the endless stairs, going over the same thing over and over, with nothing to track one's progress except with time.
"We aren't getting anywhere, this is a illusion casted by a great sorcerer"
Jack claimed wildly with little thought.
Zeke didn't reply
"don't you get it you ******* stinking cold blooded lizard, we're trapped!"
Jack yelled at Zeke profile a few steps ahead of him.
Jack puts down feona.
"i give up"
"perhaps we take a break." Zeke said
Jack gets up suddenly, wobbling slightly

"it's all your fault lizard, why didn't you tell us to bring more food?!" Jack asked angrily
"I did not know, you humans needed food every day to survive." Zeke said with honesty
"well, thanks, Me and feona might die now, and for all i know you'll probably eat us" Jack spat with real hate
Zeke said nothing, Jack went out of Zeke's view for a little while, and pulled out his leather bag, searching for anything to eat, he had his small enchanted gem from Excalibur with him, Hector's book was missing, jack didn't want to bother thinking where it may have went, or if someone stole it.
Jack returns to zeke, and explains that, he is gonna have to carry feona, because he longer posses the strength to do it anymore.
"this is it." Zeke said
jack looks up to see the stairs ending at a platform, a huge carved two way door stood, with a bird's symbol on it.
"finally..." jack breathed
Zeke said "'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''" will fill in later &
The two doors swing inward effortlessly, the inside is well lite, Zeke walks in, jack grabs feona and carries her inside. once jack enters though the twin doors, the doors disappear, Jack puts down feona and looks around, the room is huge, it is open to the outside also, there is four corners with thin stone beams holding it up, while the rest is open, like a huge open air box. Then jack spots the huge monstrous bird, the size of a medium house. wings tucked in.
The huge bird is colored black and yellow, jack see's the colors as intimidating. The beak a whitish yellow, The claws white as a shelll fish's seashell, The bird looked very magnificent to jack, He wondered where the god sword was.
"zeke, where is the god sword?" jack whispered not wanting to disturb the great beast's sleep.
Zeke points starkly at the ceiling above, chained to the middle most point of the room was a beautifully blue hued blade, with a finely crafted hand guard and handle of what looked to be dark metals, twisted into a attractive shape.

Jack thought how to get it, He couldn't reach it, the ceiling was to high, the only thing he could do was snap the chains off with a deep freeze spell
Jack looks up to the chains and focuses his magical energy on freezing the chains, He was gonna carefully freeze the chains, not use projectile magic which would wake the beast, The chains were slowly getting frosted, after about 2mintues of focusing there was a visible coat of frost on it, Jack's heart beat was rising as he began to sweat, He kept casting the spell for another 5 minutes the chains now was frozen, Jack's brain pricked, but he kept going. Another 10 minutes pass, finally the chain is frozen solid to a deep coldness, Jack while the chain is still at it's coldness, performs a quick fire spell within the chain's middle ring, The chains breaks in half, the chains remain in place from the freeze still holding the god sword up, Jack starts casting a heating spell, a simple one, he didn't know very much about fire elemental spells. slowly the ice on the chain starts to melt, as it drips onto the ground, for another 10 minutes jack does this, finally the god sword is lose, suddenly the god sword drops onto the ground with a loud clang, Jack jerks his head to view the thunder bird, it's head didn't even twitch. Jack's heart flutters as he walks up to the blue hued sword,
"wow" jack said as he held it up halfway in the air with both hands
"it's heavy" He said to himself knowing zeke was looking
Jack Lets the sword rest on the ground
"okay zeke, how do we get out of here?
no one says anything
Jack looks at zeke, "how do we get out?"
zeke doesn't answer he just stares forward
"zeke?" Jack looks at the mighty god sword he has in his hands
"I'm sorry i have to do this, but it was far to easy." Zeke says
Zeke throws down a strange bottle filled with fluids on the ground
Zeke starts murmuring something and raising his hands
Suddenly a darkness starts forming where he threw the bottle

The darkness etches together then forms a tall figure, then the darkness slowly fades to reveal a tall man, dressed in black and red, with a symbol of zamorack on his hood, a clean shaven face he had hidden under his hood,
the hooded figure looks at zaro's then suddenly turns right at jack
"the sword, give it here" he spoke in a gruesomely dark and demonic voice it sounded to jack like a deep voiced man and a other worldly demon speaking at the same time.
"no..." Jack asked defensively and nervously
"it's okay jack, it's me Excalibur, the figure takes off his hood, reveals it is the old man who had freed him from the prison.
"how do you know zeke...? Jack asked suspiciously
"that's not important, you're free now jack, just give me the sword" The old man smiled
Jack starts walking up to the old man, then hands him the sword.
Jack walks over to feona and picks her up, holding her up by shoulder
"Excalibur, I need help out of here" Jack said
Excablibur laughed loudly, "why would i do that?"
"you said you would pay me in gold and freedom, I don't want the gold, just get me and feona out of here, and you can keep your gold coins." Jack said
The tall figured man laughed loudly, suddenly his face changed to a more aggressive one, one that looked pure evil.
"what is this..?" jack asked himself quietly
"fool" the tall figure spat, "I'm gonna let you die here like the peasant you are.."
Jack thought about this for a second
The tall figure disappears suddenly, no evidence he had been there just a second ago.
"zeke, what is happening?, you gotta help me and feona" jack asks mystified
"no, I don't,"
"long live zamorack"
The lizard disappears, leaving only a small patch of darkness behind which disperses quickly.
Jack puts feona down carefully, and walks over to the opening of the tower, Jack can see the clouds below
"this is high..." jack thought starring into the clouds and the greenish canopy of the forest below
"if I fell off..." jack thought
"I could no longer exist"
