His belief that they were stuck in a genjutsu somehow engineered by the proctors of the exam began to strengthen. While continuing on, a voice rang out to him and only him. It seemed as if the others were experiencing their own distortion. Again, somehow his grandfather seemed to enter his mind. [i][color=yellow]My only surviving grandchild, and yet such a worthless weakling. Hmph..... You will never surpass me, [u][b]BOY[/b][/u]'[/color][/i] Kaba sucked his teeth and smacked his forehead. He knew he could only take so much before his 'other self' took over. He wanted to hurry and retrieve the scroll. After regaining his composure, he resumed in taking in his exceptional surroundings. In all his years he had never heard of a place like this, but maybe that was due to his own ignorance. And that ignorance finally convinced him that this was no doubt the results of an illusory technique. Eventually, the trio would enter a building that somehow loomed larger than the other structures. It certainly drew their attention. Despite the amazing structures they had witnessed, none compared to the beauty that appeared upon them in the temple. Kaba fawned as the 'Queen' of this water temple spoke. Her voice alone was enough to make Kaba swoon. He hadn't even paid any attention to the soldiers that seemed to be guarding something. [color=red]"Yeah, guys we're definitely being tricked."[/color] Kaba whispered to his teammates. [color=red]"No such beauty actually exists in the real world."[/color] Kaba kept his gaze on the queen, barely listening to Bumu as he offered disguised tags to the fish people. Even though he had been lost in his own gaze, Kaba at last noticed the pillar and embedded inside was a scroll - [i]THAT[/i] scroll! Kaba's goals came back in focus. He admittedly thought what they were experiencing was amazing, but was ready to proceed with the exams. Before the queen could even respond to Bumu, Kaba waved the fox down. [color=red]"I'm sure you two have noticed the pillar. I have a strong feeling that we are trapped in a genjutsu. Let's not waste time here."[/color] He turned his attention back to the queen and addressed her in an almost sarcastic tone. [color=red]"No doubt you're pretty cute and this is a neat little trick, but we're kind of in a rush. We NEED that scroll!"[/color] He swiftly pointed in the pillar's direction. [color=red]"I appreciate the help-"[/color] Kaba used air quotes as he spoke, not believing he was addressing true royalty. Not usually would he be disrespectful to others, but Kaba truly feared no consequences and it might cost him this time. His own confidence may screw the team, but his doubt was nonexistent.[color=red]"-BUT I have to take that, sorry."[/color] Kaba began moving in the direction of the pillar, unsure of the reactions of the fish people, but still un-intimidated.
