The temple didn’t feel exactly welcoming, which Tori supposed was somewhat odd for an apparent place of worship. Additionally, the architecture was dissimilar to other ruins she had encountered on the floating isles before, albeit they were often in a state of either complete ruin or been made into a nest for the flying creatures, the airborne beasts that can chase away any of the oddities. There were some buildings that seemed to have been made of similar stone, but they were usually the ones that had the more bloodthirsty beasts taking up residence. As the temple sealed up behind the group Tori sighed under her breath and as a test activated her Tome’s ability and found that she couldn’t phase through the wall. 
 
[i]An abnormal frequency? A super dense material? Or magical interference, not allowing the passing of even spirits? Curious[/i] keeping up with the rest of the group, Tori was lost in her thoughts when the strange sound caught her attention. As she went to look everyone bolted and deciding to not be left behind, she followed suit. She was about to see what was chasing them, but the twins did say to not look back and Tori decided it might be wise to listen. After all, in so many novels it is such a drab joke that the character is told not to look back, does and is somehow brutalized by that knowledge.
 
“Fine, if I can’t look back. Tell me, would carrying you up higher be of any help? Or is it too large?” Tori could hear the abnormal scuttling nipping at her heels, pushing her on to pick up the pace while trying to keep the twins and Alex in sight 
 
“Other question. I fly faster than run. Think I can out pace it that way?” regardless of questions Tori wasn’t especially used to running so she elected to stop asking in favour of staying ahead of whatever creature or beast was chasing them, breathing somewhat shallow, half tempted to take flight regardless, but the twins' mother would never forgive Tori for leaving them.
