Night 71: Sun Room

Now this place, he remembered intimately for a number of reasons. Goku couldn't feasibly count the number of times Taura, Birdy, and he had come through here to get to the basement. Most of the time they had been stopped by someone or something lurking in here. The memory started his heart pumping with excitement. It had been a long time since he had a proper fight!

The one with Birdy didn't count. Goku thought back further and stopped on the time he had attacked Kibitoshin in this exact room. He tried, but he couldn't remember why he had wanted to defeat the man... Either way, it had been a great fight. It was also the night he had truly met Taura and everything she was capable of. Yeah, those were all fond memories!

Welp. Goku flicked his gaze back and forth within the spacious room, but nothing seemed willing to assault him. That was a real drag!

"Ah well..." Technically, he had a job to complete. Reluctantly, he peeled his feet off the carpet and moved to the doors that lead into the main hallways. He could there'd be a lot of people out there to throw these bricks at.

So both Lloyd and Kratos were familiar with these teleportation pads. Something known in their world, though with the way Lloyd was speaking, they were not pleasant to deal with. Castiel more or less knew what to expect from these pads by now, and he was willing to use as many as needed until they reached this records archive they'd all received notes about.

Curious though Castiel might be to read Lloyd's note in the event that there was anything else of interest there, he focused instead on entering the Sun Room. The first thing he did was inch toward the right, where the library was, but he also paused the moment that the beam of his flashlight hit upon scorch marks.

It wasn't so hard to believe that there was a creature here that could spit fire. Castiel wouldn't have even blinked an eye if there was a dragon skulking around, not hiding in human form but out in full force. It was quiet now, but that didn't mean there wasn't something lying in wait for them.

He gave Lloyd a sharp look, an unspoken order to stay quiet, and continued to move toward the library. If they didn't draw attention to themselves, maybe they could pass through unnoticed...

[Sorry for lateness!]

As they entered the Sun Room, Kratos fell to the back of the group, continuing to slowly scan the room with his flashlight as they inched forward toward the library. The scorch marks on the ground clearly indicated that someone or something was here, yet he could hear and see nothing...this would be an appropriate time for his crystal to "malfunction" and start working again...Lloyd asked the question they were all wondering, and Kratos shot him a pointed look to match Castiel's, even though his wouldn't be seen since Lloyd's back was to him. The last thing they needed was to be discovered before they had even reached the entrance to the third floor again.

Finally, they made it to the door leading into the library. Moving back up to the front, Kratos tested the lock. The door was closed, but unlocked, so he twisted the knob and then gently eased the door open. He motioned for the other two to go through before him and then swiftly followed them inside.
