Tulio and Miguel had to admit: the cave didn't look that intimidating. Facilier had led their group to it, and it looked like any other cave. It rested not too far away from Athens, and you could even see the ocean from here. Although, the inscription in Greek did make it a bit different from other caves.
"So, what exactly does that say?" Tulio questioned.
"Simple. 'Enter and die'" Facilier replied, as if he was commenting on the weather.
"Gee, that makes me feel a lot better," Tulio muttered to himself.
"Come on Tulio, don't sweat it," Miguel said. "We're stealing a cursed vase from a creepy cave. It'll be just like old times."
Tulio sighed. According to Facilier, bringing two former thieves along might be necessary if they were going to steal this vase. Personally, Tulio felt like he was a little rusty when it came to things like that, but he was still willing to help out. Miguel seemed enthusiastic about the whole thing, as if it were an adventure. Maybe he'd just have to see how smooth this went.

Snake looked at the cave warily, feeling a bit uneasy, unlike Miguel and Tulio. One of his snakes hissed in Facilier's direction, prompting Snake to tap them on the head "It's alright Wordsworth, we'll be alright. I doubt Facilier would lead us all into a death trap." The snake seemed content with the answer and rested on his head. Snake turned his attention to Faclier "What happens when we manage to get the vase?"
King, who had been sitting on chastiefol, his floating pillow and weapon, piped up "Yeah, do we hand it over to this wizard guy or what?" He assumed that since the wizard had hired them, the wizard himself might not have been able to handle the vase. Of course he wouldn't be sure since he himself hadn't talked to the guy.

Andrew was still in recovery from his wound, but that didn't stopped him from participating in finding a cursed vase relic. He went back to his usual attire since the wound wouldn't reopen anymore, and he was equipped with a weapon he'd used before. That's where he became useful, he's an Alchemist after all. Maybe if the curse was that strong, at least he can help it lessen the damage it caused. The downside was that, it's just him being within a group he'd never met before. Kasturi wasn't with him anymore, that's the scariest part. Even if he tried to look calm, the heartbeat inside of him was thumping rapidly as his hands were linked together and shaking in nervousness. He wasn't that scared before, but he couldn't guess why his body reacted to this? Another problem was that his relic was glowing again, which could be a sign by the time he and the others entered the cave.
Within a distance, a figure in black armour and white hair peeked within a group of people he'd never met before. And all of them were in the premises of a cave that was told in Athens that there's a curse residing from the inside, it was even told that people get killed and never come back. "What in the world are those people doing? Do they not know about the consequences in entering recklessly?" He muttered while trying not to get attention from them. And another thing, who exactly are they who come up to have some courage to enter the cave? He doesn't know, but still, he have to at least save them just in case they'd do something impulsive. He'd made his choice, but he can't let anyone see him as he hid behind to a nearby slab of rock and waited.

Belle adjusted the satchel on her back. Before the group had gone out, she had stared at the library to gather every book in Ancient Greek that she could. She was next to Miguel and Tulio, and atvthe trablstuon above bring reported by Snake, nodded in agreement. "Besides, if the Greek heroes taught us anything, hubris can be a downfall of going alone. I brought along every note of every booby trap or riddle in the area. I wanted to talk to the wizard to confirm my sources, but, well, time is of the essence."

Maddie was standing near the entrance of the cave and peeked in all she could see was a darkness.She had to admit she was pretty excited to go exploring in caves since she had never been in a caves before also Facilier had told her that they might need her riddle solving skills to help them out."Hello any one in their?" Maddie yelled in to the dark cave. " I don't think any ones home." Maddie said as she walked backed to group.

Aladdin followed silently in the group. Everyone had began their conversations and some were speaking of their own opinions about this eerie cave. He chose to tag along here, since he was just slacking off in the circus. Besides, he missed this kind of adventure, it had been a long time since having this kind of fun.
Watching the group once again, he turned his sight to King, whom he met back in the last fight before they moved out in Greece. He wanted to talk to him, however, this was not the best time to chitchat. Who knows what could happen here, additionally they were after a cursed vase.
Hearing someone yelled from the entrance, he looked back and saw a girl rejoining the group. "I guess we should be wary if we have other company here." he whispered to himself, getting his eyes back in the road ahead.
Choosing to be silent as he was, he sighed audibly observing the group once again.

Twilight and her daughter Mitsuki were studying the ancient archiculture. "Yeah. The spirits that roam these halls seems to think that we are on the right track." said Mitsuki in agreement with the group. Twilight was being as silent as usual. She knew all the spells of these lands by heart and knew that anything cursed from her usual experience would lead to trouble. She just went along with the group and her daughter in close proximity.

Robin and Justin were more than ready to help out in any way they could. They were standing beside Belle. Justin was in his human form while Robin was in his anthro-fox form. Each had their weapons ready to be taken out and used if the need arose. Robin's ears were twitching taking in everything that was said around the group.

"Well, nobody knows for sure," Facilier replied when Snake asked what exactly would happen when they managed to get the vase. "My guess, it's that mysterious 'third trial' we're supposed to face."
"Watch it be a classic Indiana Jones boulder coming to crush us," Miguel joked. Of course, if it was as simple as that, it wouldn't be a problem. Any of the magic users here could probably blast the boulder away in less than a second. Well, maybe not Andrew. The kid looked like he was pretty spooked. And unlike Mitsuki, he didn't have a parent with him.
"Alright team, let's head on in," Facilier said as he entered the cave. Tulio and Miguel hurried after him. Tulio held out a flashlight, while Facilier lit his hand with a flame. At least with all the technology and magic they had on board, they'd never be without a light. Besides being dark, there wasn't much to the cave. Like the entrance, it seemed perfectly ordinary. However, after a few minutes of walking, the group soon came upon the first trial.
Two huge stones blocked the path, and there was writing in Greek. Once Facilier translated what it said, he turned to face the others. "Okay people, looks like we got our first trial here. The riddle translates to 'You will always find me in the past. I can be created in the present, But the future can never taint me. What am I?'" Facilier felt like he had heard the riddle before, but he couldn't quite remember the answer. It was probably best to get a second opinion. Tulio and Miguel just shrugged. Riddles weren't their specialty.

Belle took a breath. She should be used to caves, what with her marriage to dragons and their meetings held in the ground. Every time she entered, she expected to see the glowing eyes. The sweep of light eased her mind. Instinctively, she gripped for a hand, but remembered Xander and Duncan were at home. It was her and a few allies slash friends.
The trial came up ahead. Two large stones in Greek writing blocked the way. Belle scrutinized Facilier's reading of the riddle. The key words...past, present, future...jokingly, she thought Gaara, but snapped to reality. Found in the past...she looked at her book bag. Old history. It happened years ago...history in the making was a term used everywhere...the future could twist it, but taint? Not really. That was it.
"History." She answered quietly. With more confidence, she said it out loud, "the answer is history,"

For the first time, the child glared at the blonde man. He didn't like the joke that they're gonna die, especially for a Human like the jokester. Or perhaps, it just triggered his memory about Kasturi, being the girl who always make jokes, especially "Fish Fillet". He would rather wait for the fun and be serious about the mission, he walked right in to the cave.
Far behind, the mysterious robotic figure peeped out of his hiding place seeing that the "Trespassers" had entered the cave that would probably endanger their lives for it. He pulled out a black cloak that he slipped them on and proceeded in going to the cave with stealth.
Andrew followed the whole group behind, he activated his Light Alchemy from his arm was able to help in clearing the darkness along with the Ringmaster's flame. He still never said a word as he walked throughout the cave, again he never knew anyone who joined aside from Facilier. Their pace were put to a stop as they arrived for their First Trial, in which he remembered what the blonde man said about getting crushed by rocks. Looks like it might happen if they weren't able to guess the correct answer of the riddle right. Just as he took a step forward in order to give the group some help, some strange feeling made his body turn around. He faced his right arm at the dark corridor while trying to find what it was, it ended up with him seeing nothing. He could have sworn he felt something was following them, or maybe he was paranoid from the mission. The little child turned around and faced the group once he sees nothing from behind to be worried about, he walked forward until he could see the Greek Riddle. "Find in the Past....Created in Present....Not tainted in Future....." Andrew read the Greek Riddle, there's something odd because he knew that riddle. But as he opened his mouth to attempt in answering, all he could blurt out was "........................................" Most probably because someone answered it, and the lady in brown hair was right. "Many things happened in Past Time, Many people in Present want to know more, Many Futures too....." Andrew blurted out as he raised his arm to see the barricades more.
From the dark, the cloaked humanoid was able to decipher the Greek Riddle from a far when he tried to avoid the light that will catch him and will notify everyone that he followed them from behind. "'You will always find me in the past. I can be created in the present, But the future can never taint me. What am I?'" He muttered out the translation from his lips silently as he calculate an answer from his databases, and he was able to come up one. However, as he opened his mouth, he felt silent. If he answered the riddle, then he'll get caught. He decided to stay silent and hoped that one of the Riddle Solvers would be able to solve it instead. And he was glad that someone did.

Twilight started to think, knowing Belle she was spot on with the riddle from Twilight's thoughts. "I agree with Belle. History." said the unicorn. "Starts in the past. Created in the present and the future can ruin it. Species are constantly making mistakes causing the past to be recreated and if we can't learn from them, then the future is ruined." said the purple alicorn. Mitsuki looked up at her mother and nodded.

King hugged his pillow close to his chest as he flew into the cave, as if afraid he'd lose it. At the first trial, the riddle, was brought up, he thought for a few moments on his own answer before hearing Belle produce 'history' as the answer along with Twilight and Mitsuki agreeing. Rethinking it over, he had to agree with the three of them "I agree with them, too. The reasoning is too good to be anything else."
Snake couldn't help but glare at Miguel for suggesting an Indiana Jones themed trap. Powers or not, it didn't seem like a fun thing to have a close call with. Snake, at the riddle however, was at a loss, simply nodding and agreeing with those who spoke before him. He had no better answer, and neither did Wordsworth or Emily. However, Emily hissed in his ear, alerting him to the presence of someone else with the group. One not accounted for by the circus "Are they a threat?" He hissed lowly, not wanting to draw attention and cause panic if the person following was indeed harmless. The snake hissed, not being able to sense any threat, and Snake was satisfied with the answer. But he made sure to hiss at them to keep an eye out.

Aladdin tilted his head. Everyone agreed on the same thing. Well, for an instance, this was a Greek place so the answer supposed to be related here. Raising his hand from behind, he said, "I guess it's not history if it is not so rude of me," he walked forward until he stopped beside Facilier, "As long as I know... They are called the Moirai or Fates... I'm not sure. It's the best of my knowledge," he suddenly stepped backward since he just wanted to become a silent follower. Or else, his real identity might be known.

Robin and Justin exchanged a look. Neither of them were into riddles; however between the two of them, Justin was more likely to have the answer. Justin nodded in agreement with Belle, Twilight, Mitzuki and King. Robin grabbed Belle's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze when he saw her seem like she was looking for a hand to hold instinctively. Justin gave an involuntary shudder at the sound of hissing.
