Littlestar placed her paw firmly onto the stone pawprint, as fire swirled through the cracks until the stone gave way and opened before them "Stay close" she warned looking back at the three cats that accompanied her. Slowly she made her way inside, glancing nervously around at the stone statues that loomed around them in varying poses. They were very realistic, causing the fur along her spine to raise slightly. It was hard to shake the feeling of being watched, with all of the stones eyes focused on the entrance.
After a lot of negotiating with the Keeper of The Flame, it had been revealed that there was soul here that might be able to answer her questions. An ancient High Priest who had come in contact with the entity that had haunted her, and rumor had it... defeated it.
"Keep your eyes open, and be careful not to touch any of the other statues. The souls that are stored here are... well let's just say they are here for a reason"
Vividcanary's big yellow eyes were wide as they moved from statue to statue. Unlike her mother, the young she-cat felt no fear, just extreme curiosity with a healthy dose of awe.
"Come on, mom, you can't tell me not to touch the statues without giving me a proper reason why," She said as she leaned it close to one, only a whisker or so away from it. How in the world did any feline paw create something so detailed out of sand and clay? It honestly inspired her, especially the ancient paint designs, some just the same as the ones wore today, others almost an entirely different medium.

Her hazel eyes were wide as she took in their surroundings, and at Littlestar's warning. She couldn'thelp but note the way the Priestess' hair was raised but kept quiet about it. Instead, she took a quiet and curious look around. The energy in this place was different, Lacelily wondered if it was the energy of the souls trapped here like her grandmother had mentioned.
"Don't be careless," She warned Vividcanary in a sharper tone than she meant. Normally she was happy, eager, and excitable but she had been feeling a little off lately. She didn't appretiate the ignorance of Littlestar's warning to boot, regardless of the other cats age. "Obviously there's a reason not to touch them."
Vividcanary wasn't used to be scolded and didn't take kindly to Lacelily's tone. That being said, the young-white furred she-cat knew that the older she-cat was her superior, so she did listened to her and step back. She hadn't given up, but she recognized now just was not the time.
Quietly she padded back to the main group with her tail just a little lower than it had been in the beginning.

"These statues are more just than just statues" she explained, her gaze softening a little when Vividcanary returned to them with a drooped tail. She was young, and did deserve at least some sort of explanation for her order"each one of them contains the soul of a cat that was once alive" she paused momentarily at the imposing figure of a tiger statue looking down upon them with fangs bared, before continuing on the path "each of them are here for the crimes they committed in life, crimes so heinous that former High Priests and Priestess feared even the dark forest wouldn't be able to hold them. Instead of simply being executed, their souls were taken to. To be placed into a deep slumber and held securely in the vault. In touching them, you could awaken the soul that the Sun God put to sleep. With Bravewolf gone... I fear that would be a rather unfortunate turn of events"
"We came to speak to one cat, and one cat only. Let the others sleep"
Skipstep's tail bushed out at the idea. Even after all these moons as a Janus, the amount of secrets held here, the amount of information even he was still finding out about the Sun God made his pelt stand on end.
When this nugget of information had been revealed to him he'd been unnerved at the thought of entities so evil they couldn't just go to the beyond. But instead were trapped in statues, and the seals done in such a way that if disturbed could release the dark spirits.
"How much further?" He asked coming up beside Vividcanary, resting his tail on her shoulder to comfort his daughter. He understood her curiosity and wanted to reassure her.

“Hopefully not to much longer” she replied, following the path the Guardian of the Flame had illuminated for them. Small flames dancing along the side of the the path they should take until the came to singular statue encircled in the dancing flames. Casting both light and shadows across the stone surface. The cat was a large Tom, with muscles clearly defined under the short layer of stone fur that covered them. Ancient paint designs wound around it’s body, the only color upon the cool stone. Upon it’s head the same flame that Littlestar wore upon hers.
”This must be who the guardian think we should speak with”she murmured softly, approaching the statue “This soul has been sleeping for a long time, I don’t know what state we will find the cat within to be” she paused looking over the chiseled face “Or what it might want in exchange for information”

She felt bad for having snapped at the young Janus and she shot her a look that she hoped would be read as an apology. Lacelily would make a more formal one later when this was all done. Right now there was something more important to be done and she turned her attention to littlestar and the statue, observing its markings and clear physique. Had this cat once been a High Priest of sunclan? Or maybe an usurper? It was hard to say, the markings make her wonder. Regardless of who he once was, he did something to end up trapped here. "It is safe to wake him?" She asked, the fur raising on her hackles at the thought.

"It's a risk" she agreed, "There are a lot of things that could go wrong, and waking one of these souls is not something I have done before" she could think of many reasons of why they shouldn't, and many reasons why they should "In theory even if something were to happen, I should have the power to put them back into the vault" she placed her paw at the base of the statue after pricking her pad with her claws
"But with Bravewolf gone, its a gamble if it would work. This cat has also had their soul snatched once, and a countless number of years to think about strategies on how to keep it from happening again. But this may be the only way to figure out how to defeat our enemy" blood seeped slowly from her paw and onto the paws of the statue. The stone at the base beginning to crumble apart and roll towards the paws of the janus and Soothsayer promised giving way to fur. The movement was slight at first, as the paws began to flex. The crumbling stone continuing to peel off of the brightly colored orange fur underneath
The cat cracked it's neck to one side then the next, stretching out it's spine in a long stretch with a loud groan before green eyes settled on Littlestar and the three cats with her
"And whom might we have here?", his deep voice boomed through the chamber
Vividcanary was an ever-affectionate she-cat and leaned into her father's side with a thankful purr, twining her tail was his as best she could given her small size. Despite her Warrior name, she was still apprentice age, and an usually small one at that. She probably could have passed for a kit and still had a lot of that energy, but was learning to be more mature, one step at a time.
She fell silent and listened to her mother intently, her fur raising as she realized these statues weren't to be admired, but feared. It made her skin crawl to be surrounded by so many dangerous enemies, and she let out a kitten-like squeak of fear when Littlestar did exactly what Vividcanary had just been told not to do and touched one of them.
How are we going to reseal this spirit once we are done asking for help!?
But she didn't voice her fear, it was too late, the stone was cracking and before long a massive orange-furred tom appeared from the statue.
"V-Vividcanary," She replied to his question instantly, golden eyes widening in shock in awe, before feebly adding, "It's n-nice to meet you!"

Where Vividcanary was open and offered her name out of fear, Lacelily was apprehensive and withheld her own. She did not know this cat and felt it was a bad idea to reveal her identity, she glanced over at her grandmother and prayed to the sun god that their high priestess knew what she was doing. Surely she had the ability and know-how to reseal this tom if needed.
While her fur stood on end, Lacelily did not feel fear as she looked up at him. As she grew older she grew less fearless and more confident in herself and her abilities, even though she was still the age of an apprentice.

Littlestar stood strong, eyes never leaving the figure as it emerged from the stone. She removed her paw, placing it back on the other side of the flame that encircled the cat before them. A small amount of her blood was left on the stone as she shifted back into a sitting position, having to tilt her head upwards to meet the cat's gaze "A better question might be, why have you been awakened?"
The silver queen let her tail brush against Vividcanary's shoulder "Don't be afraid, precautions have been taken... For now he can't cross over the flames. Stay by my side, and you will be fine" she gave her daughter a little lick on the cheek, before turning her attention back to the orange tom who continued to stretch
~~~~> "I thought that was obvious, you want something from me" he yawned, finally settling into a rough sit though he looked stiff and uncomfortable
Littlestar nodded "We are looking for information regarding an enemy of yours, more specifcally how you were able to defeat it"
~~~~>"So it has returned? Ha, if you have sought me out and awoken me from my sleep, it must have already made it's first move. Yes I see it in your eyes Little Priestess, you have seen first hand the power that is possessed" his tail flicked from one side to the other, before a grin slowly spread across his face "You know, I would be willing to tell you how I forced it into submission... for a price" The large cat stood, pacing back and forth as if contemplating something "You see, I grow weary of being stuck inside that stone. The deafening silence, the eternal stretch of darkness and nothingness" he stopped looking down at the cats before him "My request is a simple one, in exchange for the information you seek all I ask is that I be allowed to be reborn... into your bloodline" JetclawJadieuniqcrim

She looked up at the cat who had just awakened and found it hard to look away. She took in every detail as if her life counted on it and was taken aback by his sudden request. She looked to her grandmotherly curiously and wondered what exactly had happened. Alas she was too young to know much about what happened before she became janus just a few seasons ago outside of what she was told. "Why would you want that? What is it you want in a new life?" Lacelily asked skeptically. What was so special about the choice of bloodline? Something smelled fishy.
Vividcanary's fur fluffed up slightly, but she did her best to smooth it down. In instances like this she knew her inexperience was her greatest weakness and that she should let Littlestar do all the talking, which was why she let out a little squeaked when Lacelily spoke instead. She wasn't upset or anything, just surprised. She lowered her head and hid behind her mother like a kit.
