Jalex stood in the entrance of the fire temple, his skin reddened by the heat, the soles of his feet were burned black. The worshiper wore only his shorts, his robe tied around his waist now as a belt. His earring glowed from the lava's light, Din's mark illuminated even more the the gem. "One of the most holy places to the follower's of Din, may my predecessors rest in piece for my sins of the past, present, and future." The hylian said as he felt his arms, the bandages held in place firmly and covering all of his arms. He had covered various spots in red paint, and his brand was clear to the world on the back of his right shoulder.
He closed his eyes as his hair draped in front of his face, he himself planed to do more than pray at this temple though he would have to find a means of which to obtain what he needed. Now, he just needed to wait for the two who wished to accompany him in, and he could venture forth onto his true pilgrimage.

Eldrin came up to Jalex from the shadowy recesses of the temple. He was wearing a hooded scarlet habit and hand his hands folded with a solemn look on his face. He wore the hood up and looked at the floor. "I'm not allowed in here after that one time last year," He whispered to Jalex. "So if anyone asks I'm a fire monk."

Jalex grinned as he looked at Eldrin and nodded, a small smirk etched upon his lips. "You do know, that most the fire monks are dead and the one's alive are few and in between. Well the temple visiting or tending ones." The monk said with a small chuckle before shaking his head. "However, looking like one will be good enough for most people." Jalex finished as he looked at the door before them and the reddened walls. "Shall we, we're just heading to the dragon's resting place, the hottest spot in the temple."

"AWESOME!!! Watch out dragon! Here we come!" He yelled, breaking character for a moment and drawing a stare or two from a couple random pilgrims. He returned to his solemn demeanor and followed Jalex to the door. "Azrael will catch up I'm sure..."

"You remind me of the first apprentice monk that was brought here.....except older." Jalex said laughing as he patted Eldrin on the back, the people returned to their prayers and their rituals. "And he could be here already." The monk said as he rubbed his chin before walking through the door, the next room had with platforms, and below those laid lava. "Don't fall, this is were some unlucky ones tend to show off."

Azrael entered the Fire Temple shortly after Eldrin and Jalex did. He took a moment to thank the fire spirits and the dragon spirit that resided here for allowing them to enter their home and quickened his pace to a jog to catch up to the thief and Din worshipper.
The lava was hot and Azrael sweated in the heat, it wasn't much different from the desert...other than the fact that it was hundreds of degrees hotter and there was no wind to cool his face, he lowered his hood and saw Eldrin and Jalex up ahead and jogged to catch up to them.

Eldrin jumped from platform to platform, barely listening to Jalex's advice. "I'm immune to fire! The only bad thing that would happen if I fell in would be my clothes burning off!" He yelled across the room. "Of course, that would be awkward..." He commented as an after thought, saying the last word in a sing-song voice. He waited on the other side for the monk. He was beginning to grow fond of this man... Bad thing considering he originally planned to rob him. The thief normally had no qualms with robbing friends... But none of his friends had ever actually treated him as their younger. Unlike most people his age he liked being considered a kid. He'd practically been on his own since he was a kid... Even Ayishe had treated him more like an adult when she was training him. Well, she was a bad example... not the best with children after all. "Hey Azrael!" Eldrin yelled waving from the other side of the room.

"And now there are two monks, how's the heat?" Jalex asked jokingly as he moved across the platforms, keeping his feet in stable positions as he jumped. "And well.....about the clothes....I think we could find a spare, from what I heard they had some kid burn his clothes off years ago." The monk laughed at the thought as he turned to wave at Azrael, he felt like a young man once more, the heat was intense and felt wonderful even the his burning soles felt enlightening. "And let's try to keep the clothes on, now if you meet a nice girl.....well...."

"I don't think we have to worry about meeting many nice girls in a volcano, Jalex." Azrael yelled over to him. He followed the both of them by leaping on the rocks.

Eldrin smiled, "That's where I meet my women!" Eldrin joked, now sitting down and dangling his legs over the lava.

Jalex laughed at Eldrin and patted him on the head. "There are many followers of Din who are female, the last and current prayer leaders are female actually. I think he could find a nice girl. Though she might have an anger issue or something." Jalex rubbed his chin as he thought. "We are here for prayer however, and to maybe find a lil something here and there. Maybe dragon's skin or a claw. Either would be nice." The monk said as he tapped on the next door before opening it, heat rushed through the door. The temperature seemingly doubled and only seemed to get hotter. The next room contained a single circular platform with a rope bridge to it. "Fun." Jalex said as he looked at the bridge.

Azrael looked at the circular platform and the rope bridge. "Let us continue."

Eldrin jumped onto the thin rope railing and trapeeze-walked across to the center platform. "This is fun! And here I thought all you religious people were just boring wierdos!" He said, once again waiting for them.

"Boring, us, no. You're thinking of my fishy apprentice, he is all rationality and no fun." Jalex said as he walked across the bridge, rolling down his robe and removing it as he moved forward. He was preparing for the ritual and a burning, his flesh would be the sacrifice. "The fun part will be the offering I will make here, painful and worthy of Din." The monk said as he dropped his robe into the lava below, he wouldn't need it much longer, it would be ruined either way.

"Fishy? Like a Zora? I tried to eat one of those recently... Azrael stopped me." Eldrin said, then upon hearing his comment on his offering the thief laughed, "Ah, who doesn't enjoy an occasional dose of tributary masochism?" He joked, watching the robe burning to ashes before it could even sink. He put down his hood and breathed in the hot air. Even though, he was wearing heavy robes he didn't mind the heat.
