Excerpt:
"I have abad feeling about this," Ryan muttered.
"Don't beridiculous," Jade replied, leading the way toward the temple. "We camehere for the minerals, and we're going to find them."
As theyapproached the temple, they could see that it was ancient, with large stonecolumns and carvings covering the walls. They made their way inside, and themineral finder began to beep rapidly.
"There itis," Jade said, pointing to a door at the end of the chamber. "That'swhere the scanner is leading us."
They cautiouslyapproached the door, which was adorned with strange symbols and carvings. Jadehesitated for a moment, but then pushed the door open.
When the doorcreaked open, they saw a blinding light emanating from inside the chamber. Theyshielded their eyes and cautiously stepped inside, drawn toward the powerfulenergy source.
Jade and his team crept through the temple. The air grew colder, and they felta sense of unease.
The mineralfinder beeped louder as they approached the large chamber door. Ryan, theteam's technician, examined the door and found that it was heavily secured.
They noticedstrange markings etched on the walls. The markings resembled scratches, as ifclaws or sharp objects made them. Upon closer inspection, Jade realized themarkings were actually a form of language, but one that he had never seenbefore.
Ryan, who hadsome expertise in ancient languages, inspected the markings. "This isn'tany language that I recognize," he said, furrowing his brow inconcentration. "It looks like some kind of primitive tool made it, like aclaw or a rock."
Jasper, who hadbeen scanning the temple with his handheld device, interrupted. "Guys, I'mgetting some strange readings here," he said, pointing to his device."It looks like there's some kind of energy emanating from the wallsthemselves."
Jade walked overto Jasper. "That's strange." He looked at the device. "There'sdefinitely something here, but I can't quite make out what it is."
"It seemsto radiate from behind this door." Jade touched a door at the end of thehallway with strange markings.
Jasper, theteam's muscle, stepped forward and used his strength to force the door open. Insidethe chamber, they found a glowing orb emitting a powerful energy. Jadeapproached the orb and scrutinized it, trying to identify its properties.
As he did so,the orb suddenly flared up with a blinding light, knocking the team off theirfeet.
When theyregained their senses, they found the orb had disappeared and the chamber wasnow empty.
Jade, Ryan, andJasper looked at each other, stunned by what had just happened. They realizedthey had stumbled upon something beyond their understanding and knew that theyneeded to report their findings to their superiors. Before they could head backto their shuttle, the darkness faded once again, and the center of the roomgleamed with a small object. A crystal. It flickered slightly.
