His heart thumped loudly in his chest as they begun their journey into the temple. It was deathly quiet except for the occasional squeaks of rats scurrying about. Finally the long stone hallway split off into two different paths. He stopped and took out the map Codal had given them. But all it offered at this point was that the staff was located at the center of the temple. Ambrose sighed with frustration and glanced over at Caleb. He shrugged and gestured at the choices before them. "So? All we know is that staff is at the center of the temple." He explained coolly and returned his gaze to the two paths.

They both seemed identical at first glance, dark and a chilly atmosphere. Except to someone paying attention, a cool breeze was flowing gently from the path on the right, while the left path was completely still and cold.

Ambrose huffed another sigh, pushing a dark curl of hair from his eyes. "We could split up..." His voice trailed off, not even with how much he distrusted Caleb right now, did he want to go wondering alone in this strange temple. Ambrose met Caleb's dark gaze, momentarily distracted by how [i]sad[/i] he looked. It almost made him want to pity his classmate. But that thought was ruined by the image of Caleb smiling as he caused that warrior agony. Ambrose quickly looked away once more, fixing his gaze ahead.
