"Sad but true... In any event, there's a distinct possibility of this being one of the temples gateways. A nice little shrine puzzle designed to lock away the temple, and whatever dwells within." *Oddplume steps up to the altair and looks around at the ingravings across the ground. and on the pillars.*

"Okay, now everyone freeze. This is the part in the movie where the explorers always unleash the monster dwelling within the temple by breaking the seal without knowing what they're getting themselves into..."

*Oddplume stops and scratches his head.* "We'd have to find the temple first. This is just a wide flat stone stage with a mirror and a few arranged pillars... and that altar."

"It's probably below us. If this desert is anything like the ones in the Physical Realm, then the sand's probably covered it up." *He steps up onto the stage* "That or this mirror points us to it."

"Yes... a mirror aiming upward would be pointing to a burried temple." *Oddplume shakes his head.* "This sort of snippyness isn't like me. This realm is having strange effects on me. Well, I suppose we could look for some clues in the carvings."

"Patience Phaeton. haven't you ever had to decode other languages before?" *Oddplume walks up to the altar and looks at the inscriptions.* "Oh, it's just ancient Celestial. Nevermind, I can read this. Why Celestials would be behind the temples is beyond me though."

"It's an incantation, but it needs a focus that's to be placed at the center of this altar." *Oddplume points to a slot in the center of the altar.* "Something known as the 'Sun Stone'."
