You and I then headed to the next temple, the Temple of the Wolf. Soarin now waits for us outside.
"You've arrived." Soarin said. "Come closer. Can you smell that?". You followed his instructions.
"...I can't smell anything." you said. You sniffed for a while. " It's the smell of burnt Pyro Slimes."
"Something must have happened in the temple." Soarin said. "I imagine there will be slimes, storm creatures, and... whatever is giving Sturmterror extra power. Oh yes, it is going to be lively in there indeed!"
"Will it be dangerous?" you asked.
"As bustling as it may be — no, I can't imagine it will be dangerous at all."
"No doubt nothing more than a disorderly mob of creatures."
"Oh, ho-ho! You're quite the brave one, aren't you!" Soarin cheered. "It's a pity that the Temple of the Wolf has been disturbed by such an atrocity. Let's head in, Traveler. No one makes offerings to The Four Winds anymore, yet the old winds never vanish... We need to clear out the temples, for The Four Zephyrs.". We all walked to the door of the temple. "My first chance to fight beside you. Think we'll make a good team?" Soarin asked as giggled as opened the temple's solid doors, leading into a domain. "Let me show you how the Knights of Günstig conquer our adversaries!" Soarin said as he pulled out his sword.
We all then opened a Resurrection Door as we walked straight into the temple. It was much like the previous temple you went to with Sunset. As we entered the first room, Soarin looked up. "Hmm. If I'm not mistaken, the end of the temple should be up there."
"Wait... How do you know?" I asked.
"Heh, experience." Soarin said. "...The kind of experience you get after years of dealing with things like this for others.". You then spotted a group of storm creatures. All of us flew to the solid surface. The storm creatures attacked you as soon as they heard our steps. I gasped as Soarin turned to them.
"Freeze!" Soarin shouted as he shoot flakes and gushes of ice and snow. Since the surface was set, and the storm creatures are so, the effect caused the storm creatures to actually freeze. You slashed the statues with your sword as a wind blade flashed of your weapon and destroyed the statues. "Traveler... Unless I'm mistaken, you don't seem to have a Vision Mark.". Soarin said, not spotting a single glowing orb, and signifying its element. Soarin has said it with confusion and suspicion.
A Vision Mark is a gift bestowed upon those who dwell in Equestria and are recognized by the gods. It grants the user elemental abilities based on the element of their given Vision Mark. For example, the fire charm Sunset has on her belt is a Vision Mark that was given to her, thus, making her able to cause fire. Soarin has a teal Vision Mark with a snowflake symbol on it, meaning, he is able to control ice, or snow. That means, if Capper has a gold Vision, with a diamond symbol on it, meaning he has a power to control rocks, or simply earth.
"So how exactly is it that you're able to channel elemental energy?" Soarin said.
"It was a very strange occurrence." I said, glancing at you.
We then went to the next room and opened the Door of Resurrection. Many tubes emitting flames as they blow. Soarin blasted ice and snow to malfunction them. Suddenly, two Hydro slimes appeared out of thin air. Soarin immediately summoned three serpents made of ice that surrounded him like he was Saturn.
Soarin slashed his sword against them and shattered the slimes. He disabled a tube with Pyro on it and ran to a balcony with a wind current.
"Ugh, finally... we're here." I said.
"Seems the path ends here. Let's use the wind currents to fly up." Soarin said, summoning his glider and floated at top. We followed him and made it to the building. Soarin opened a mechanism to open the door, revealing a giant Pyro slime. You spotted a blue rock with a water symbol. Soarin spotted the rock you found, a Hydro Amber, and shattered it, making it rain.
"Water! We can use this to put out fire!" I said.
"Good idea. That's some keen observation." Soarin said. "We should get Night Glider to give you a title and make you a knight.". Suddenly, more Pyro slimes summoned. You used your Anemo powers to summon a tornado, and Soarin shoots the ice into your tornado, making the tornado absorb the elemental energy and freeze the slimes. As soon as they die, a door opened on the top left of the room.
We dashed to the room as found spikes under the water. Soarin used his skill to freeze the water and we carefully walked over it.
"Speaking of, did you know? Sturmterror was once one of The Four Winds. I'm not aware of the exact details. If you're interested, you can ask the Acting Grand Master about it." Soarin said. As he freezed the last set, you tirelessly walked over it, as i floated over. We opened another one of those Resurrection Doors and took some stairs, 'till we made it to the room with Sturmterror's power source.
"Is that the thing that Sturmterror is using to gain its power?" I asked.
"Seems probable. Let's deal with it." Soarin said, slashing his sword against it. You slashed along with him, while I carefully pounde the rock, watching the blades. One more slash, and it finally vanished. All of us sighed in relief. Soarin chuckled.
"Bravo! What a performance!" Soarib applauded. "You are, to my surprise, a well-trained knight. The battles you just fought were sights to behold." Soarin said.
"Thanks, that's nice of you to say...Not worth complimenting really..." You said shyly.
"Haha, I see you already have the knightly virtue of modesty. Stories of your heroic deeds to save Hiersindwir from destruction shall be known throughout the City of Freedom, well into the future. Please do visit me at our headquarters when you have the time. I also know a lovely tavern, if that's more your thing." Soarin smiled. "Quite rewarding, no?" Soarin said, wiping his clothes.
"We've seized another temple from Sturmterror's grasp!" I cheered.
" I can take care of the rest here. You go take care of other things while I'm at it." Soarin said.
"See you later then, bye-bye~!" I said mischievously as you and I left the domain to go to Capper. Soarin waved you goodbye. You didn't notice a Hydro creature summoning behind Soarin, as you left. Soarin's charming smile, now then turned into a glare, as he turned behind him, looking at a Hydro Abyssus Mage.
"There's no way storm creatures organized an ambush like this themselves — not with their limited mental capacity..." Soarin said. The mage appeared behind him as it giggled. "Thus YOU were behind this!". Soarin and the mage looked at each other in a glare, having a face off. The mage then recited some king of incantation.
"Gohus, Chiso Vonph!" The mage chanted. The mage then turned in confusion, as red flames slashed towards it. A white pegasus, with an light orange and white mane and shiny, dark cornflower blue and and purple eyes flew in threw the mage and ran across Soarin's side, while Soarin stood there. The pegasus carried his sword and slashed the mage to the ground. The pegasus wears a black dress shirt, a light gray waistcoat with a silver phoenix insignia that is adorned with a red gem in the eye, a silver-accented red tailcoat with four tails, black trousers are similar in design, straps on his left thigh, and black knee-high boots with silver shin guards, black gloves remain with red insignias and finger chains, and large red wrist guards,and finally, has a fireball, with a Pyro symbol, and wings, as a Vision Mark in his belt.
The pegasus slashed his sword and put the fire in his sword to an end, and turned to Soarin.
"Knights of Günstig... Always so inefficient." The pegasus said.
Soarin applauded as he turned to him. "Agree to disagree. But, your involvement in this just made things a whole lot more interesting."
