"Someplace fun, with risky challenges." She answered plainly. She looked back at him. "Tell me if I'm wrong, but you look like someone who's definition of fun, risky, and challenging includes fighting, hmm?"

"No?" She paused a moment. "If you're looking for a hooker, you'd best be looking somewhere else. If you're looking to find a job here in the city, look for someone else. Adventure you follow me."

She lead him through the streets, having a very set destination in mind. After maybe about five minutes of walking they came across a small shop that looked like it might be a book store. The sign on the top was labled 'Kishruu's Oddities'. The inside did indeed look like a bookstore, though there were various other things lining the shelves. Small statues made from various substances, other items carved from wood or bone. It was all very dusty and it seemed the cobwebs had indeed taken over the store. At the counter sat a short hunched over old man, looking just as dusty as the rest of the store. He sat crosslegged on a rockign chair, a pipe in his mouth and glasses over his eyes as he read from a large tome. "Kishie!" The wolfess called out, she took her cloak and mask off, setting them on a table she passes as she approached the man. Spiders ran for cover. Now that the cloak was away it could be seen she wore a clawed metal gauntlet over her right hand. "Hmm?" He looked up from his book. "Who would know my pet name? Ah yes, the puppy. I remember you, we met some long time ago, you were so small then." She smiled as she stopped infront of him. "And we've met multiple times since, and no matter how many times you can only remember that blastd first time." "Hmm..." He looked from her to Zero, he adjusted his glasses. "Hmmm... I don't remember ever meeting you. What do you go by traveler."

Zero was looking around, this kind of place was freaky, it gave him chills in his back. When the old man talked to him, he faced him and answered "My name is Zero..Nice to meet you mister!"
Even the man himself gave him chills....Why was he brought here? And was that that girl's gauntlet too?

"Hmm... A hedgehog named Leroy." The old man scratched his chin. "His name is ZERO, and your hearing isn't that bad Kazie." She spun little loops by her head using a finger. "You just think you're losing memory and hearing 'cause you're a nut." She turned back to Zero and smiled, bowing just a little. "Don't mind Kishie, he's harmless. This whole place is harmless, only the basement is dangerous. But that's my place. If you want adventure, Kishie's the one likely to know where it's found. He's traveled all over the world when he was younger."

"oh really? thats awesome!!" his expression on his face went from a scared hedgehog to an amazed child. However, something else came on his mind "i don't wanna really liver other people's adventure, i wanna make my own, like my own unique story kinda" he paused for a few seconds "i day dream too much ha ha" he smiled

"Aha, the dream of every adventurer. To make their own story, never living in another's shadow... You need direction however, and I have just the compass!" The old man jumped to his feet at a somewhat startling speed and began digging through the piles of 'stuff'. Allure tilted her head as she watched him, knowing he probably didn't mean an actual compass... But unsure what he was trying to find. "I've explored the thick jungles of the mystic ruins, you do know where that is don't you Leroy?" The old man glanced back at them. Allure facepalmed. Kishruu pulled out a tubed map and brought it back to them. "You should also know that most of it is also still unexplored, ancient temples never found because almost anyone who wanders into those jungles are lost for maybe good." He unfolded the map, it was a general sattellite view of the area that was jungle... Which was quite a lot of land dotted by mountains. Certain places of the map had been marked on, but only in the bottem left quarter.

"actually, i never heard of the place before" he took a look at the map, seeing how dense it really did seems, he had trouble imaginating how it does really look like....

Kishruu raised an eyebrow, but then grinned, more than happy to explain. "The Mystic Ruins is an area of jungle to the West of the city. They say the flying island, Angel Island, may have even once been part of this land. It is made up with thick jungles dotted by ancient ruins of a long lost and forgotten people." Allure glanced at Zero. "A perfect place for adventure. These ruins are likely full of all kinds of traps and who knows what else."

"It does sound interesting and all, but...i don't wanna go there just to trigger some traps and get away with it.Theres like..no goal.But come to think of it, if its full of traps, then it means there must be something there to guard in the first place right? unless one of you already went, you seem to know the place alot more than you say how "unexplored" it is"

"Ah, I've been to jungles and a few of the ruins young Leroy." But he motioned to the map, namely the large blank spots. "But there are still many places untouched, and I know just the area." He took a marker and made a circle in one of the untouched areas, a little off from the rest of the marked spots. "Somewhere around here, in the distance we saw it. A large a foreboding temple, I would have explored it myself, but we were running out of supplies and had to turn back. I never returned."

"It sure does sounds intriguing" Zero pause for a few moment..Maybe it wasn't the action he was looking for, but he had to start somewhere. "Maybe a look wouldn't hurt after all..Il go check this place out, maybe i can fill those spots..il borrow the map for sometime if you don't mind, I'm going straight for it"

"Hmm? Eager then?" Kirshruu smiled and rolled up the map. "Of of course, there are more copies anyway. Then... Do you plan to head out all on your own?"
