It was the middle of the day, the sun shining brightly onto the dense, green forest, the rays of light shining through the leaves, the air full of various scents, and sounds of bugs, lizards and birds. This was a forest, or rather, a jungle.The grass was tall, vines hung from the towering trees. This whole place was overgrown, dense and quite hard to navigate for even the flying creatures that lived there.
"Argh...god...dammit..." A man muttered. Pushing past the plantlife. He was dressed rather oddly. Wraps of cloth covering his feet, hiding strong leather, apperantly meant to protect his legs. His upper body having his torso completely exposed, the cloth having a rather unique design. His head was wrapped in cloths of brilliant blue and red, most likely made out of fine silk. Quite the luxury compared to the rest of his outfit.
A strange, seemingly white metal gauntlet on his left hand, a rather long and 'fancy' sheeth hiding a sword strapped to his right hip. He as tanned, obviously a man that spends a lot of time in the sun. His face had a scar underneath his right eye, and yet his face showed that he was still quite young.
"...Wonder if I shouldn't have come here...me and my bright ideas...hey maybe if I go into a dense jungle I'll find something valuable!" He let out a frustrated sigh, ripping a vine that he had walked into off the tree. "Next time I'll just smash my head against a wall, save me the trouble of passing out after having nothing to eat or drink from being lost." He grumbeled, in a foul mood.
As he kept walking though, he stumbeled upon something of intrest. It was an old, abandoned temple, that was dedicated to the gods "..." A smirk appeared on his lips "Well...maybe this wasnt so much of a useless trip after all...theres bound to be something useful in this place." He said, running up the stairs that were crumbeled and covered in mold.
It was a rather large temple, so he walked around the place for quite a while "Urgh...Lots of old pots and pans...It would be nice to see something valuable!" he yelled at the halls. As if he was yelling at the gods that were once worshiped in this palce. He had found many old vases and plates. But they were all decayed and covered in mold, useless. "Agh...my arm still hurts..." he muttered, rubbing it. He had climbed alarge statue of a god, having thought he saw something valuable at the top, though it tipped over and he nearly fell to his death. Luckily he only bruised his arm.
Though then, he stumbeled upon something worth intrest "...." He as staring at a silver crane, that was coverd in crystal feathers "...Finally!" He exclaimed, overjoyed, he started to pull the crystal feathers off the crane, and pack them into a bag.

Though the minute he had removed all the feathers, they were back on the silver bird, as if they had never been disturbed. The temple to the Night God Luno had long since been occupied, but it didn't go unprotected, at least not overlooked. The Young Demi-goddess of the moon quite often checked in on old temples, just in case someone came for help, she didn't want to leave them unheard, and now she was spying in on a thief.

"...What in the!?" he looked into his bag, and then at the statue "...." He rubbed his eyes "I've spent too much time in the damn sun." he said, and started to gather the feathers again, and again they dissapeared from his bag and appeared on the bird again, he took a few steps back "...OK...I've seen weirder...I think." He said, looking around. He then walked over to the statue, and grabbed it "HM!" One strong tug later, and he snapped the head right off. The silver statue was much easier to break, thanks to the silver being in its purest form. "There, try appear back now." He said, throwing the head up and down on his hand, a large part of the neck came with it aswell.

And the statue and all it's contents were back in place and the goddess herself decided to intervene. Behind him appeared a young blue haired girl. She was, in a simple word, stunning. It was hard to say that a more beautiful young girl in the world. "Please refrain from touching that," She said, her voice like a song.

He looked over his shoulder at her "...." Now, a strangely overdressed young girl suddenly pops up right behind him, not a sound of footsteps or anything beforehand, and tells him to stop touching the statue "Hi there, ya legal?" He asked, a smile on his face, he then turned back to the crane "Just hold on a minute...gotta figure this thing out....ah, screw it." He said, and then just picked the entire crane up. It wasnt too heavy, he's carried his share of stolen treasure before, so this was nothing exceptional.

And the moment he took a step towards the door the crane was no longer in his hands, but back next to the fallen statue of Luno. "Please stop that, that's not yours, that's an offering for the Moon," She said. Sakara was not allowed to mess with the affairs of the mortal world, and especially not supposed to reveal herself. She was going to get into major trouble if she revealed her identity, and since the mortals knew her as nothing more then a crane, then she was safe for now. Though she wasn't going to let this man take off with one of her statutes.

"Oh come on! he doesnt need it!" He said, completely unimpressed that the thing was dissapearing from his hands, and this really weird little girl seemed to be responsible for that "What good does it do just sitting here in a temple thats about to fall on it and burry it?" He asked "It can at least serve the purpose of filling a mans stomach and desire." He said "I'm pretty sure you're Luno guy doesnt need it, at all."

"And a man who is going to spend it on wine and whores doesn't need it either," She said flatly. "You may come back when you have starving children or a dying wife," She said, shaking her head at him. "Please, if you have no real purpose here leave," She said.

He twitched "Oh come on, its still better than letting it stay here!" he complained, but then sighed "Oh well, guess I'll just have to go rob some family instead." He said, she looked like a kid, maybe she'd act like one to, and maybe she was a goody goody person, so she'd offer the crane in exchange for him not robbing anyone else.

"Ah! No! That's horrible! You can't do that!" She insisted, shaking her head furiously and waving her hands. "How could you do that to some innocent family?" She asked. Sakara was still a baby in the gods minds, and she had only been to the mortal world twice before. Luno had given her many many warnings before, but she didn't want anyone to get hurt. She chewed on her thumb a moment and then plucked a single crystal feather from the statue and held it out to him. "That's enough to full your needs," She said.

He just looked at the feather and laughed at her "Sorry, but I don't like the street whores and cheap wine, I like the expensive stuff, and multiple women." he said, and walked over to the statue, picking it up again "So I'll be taking the whole thing, you can keep that one feather, its my, 'offering' He said, quite proud of himself for tricking this girl.

"That's disgusting," Sakara said as he picked up the crane and walked away with it. She frowned as he walked away. "You're a horrible person," She said with a niave pout, looking at the crystal in his hand, though as he walked towards the door one of the pillars came loose and fell, smashing to the ground literally an inch away from crushing him.

"Thats what I am, a horrible-SHIT!!" He yelled, jumping back"OK! This place seems to have a habit of throwing me into nearly fatal situations! First that statue, and now this!?" He asked
~*Hell*~ In hell, things were even more disturbing than it usual is. Just a few minutes ago, a ripple was sent through the air, dulling everyones hearing, demons and gods. It was an odd phenomenon, but it seemed to have no other affect...that is, untill random globs of black ooze started to show up on the ground. Mindless demons that steped in it were pulled into it, as if it was quicksand. And if anyone came too close to it the stuff just seemed to jump out at them and grab them, if they managed to get away, the amount that got on them would stick to them, and grow, covering their entire bodies, and once they were entirely covered, sucking them in aswell.

From the Devil's castle in the center of Hell the king himself was becoming enraged by the mess that was being caused in his realm. "Lilith!" He shouted, smashing into one of the rooms. There was the queen of the demons, lounging on a large red pillow. She raised eyes and looked over at him, though he just got furious. "What are your demons doing?" He asked. "My demons? What do you mean they're doing what they're normally doing aren't they?" She asked, standing up and going over to the window, where she saw what was going on. "...That's not right," She muttered, and before she had to be told to climbed out of the window and flew down to the comotion.

Though right as she landed, the puddle of goo infront of her seemed to turn into a small, upside down whirlpool. It suddenly fell back to the ground again, but this time something leaped at her. Its body had four limbs, it was shaped similar to a human, but deformed. It was dripping, but it seemed to actualy have something that looked like decayed and rusted armor and cloth. It was holding a solid weapon, a sword, and it seemed in good condition. The best was relatively small, 5 feet, but the one that lunged at her was not alone. If she looked around, many of those were starting to pop up, jumping at other demons, killing them, tearing them apart. And it seemed the more were cut down, the more showed up.
