Hidden out of sight from most people, in a clearing surrounded by dense shrubbery, lied the Stone Temple, said to be made in the honor of an earth elemental deity. The ruins looked to be in pristine condition, despite not being touched by man in many, many years... not until now, at least. The stone covered Wario approached the ruins, cracking his knuckles in anticipation.
"You ready to look this joint?" he asked Elsa, smiling.

"Does a Blikkim's diet consist of a healthy does of actual iron?" Before Wario could question her response, Elsa smiled and stated, "Yes. Yes I am!"
Excited but still cautious, Elsa marched inside, ready and waiting for anything.

Wario looked around, trying to get an idea of where to look first. "Hmm... let's go... that way," he smiled, pointing straight down the middle of the room. The rock-solid Wario walked forth, his heavy foot steps leaving grand echos in his wake.

Elsa silently followed, light on her toes, eyes peeled for any unusual sights, excitement and determination still quite prominent in her face. This place was creepy. Foreboding. It was hard to tell when and where danger would pop up. And she loved that.

Wario tromped around, looking for any odd, or possibly noticeable deviations in the ruins. What he failed to do was look down- at the panel he had just stepped on. A very loud, rocky screech was heard behind the two, a giant boulder making its way toward them. Wario looked panicked at first- but soon smiled at the rock, charging toward it and jumping straight at it.
His body generated stones, the man becoming a ball of rolled up rock as he slammed right into the boulder, cracking it.

"WHEW!" Elsa laughed and pumped a fist. "Now that's one way to clear a room!"
For a brief moment, her fist hardened into a much denser state, allowing her to punch the rocks that flew her way to dust while she simply dodged the rest.

Wario landed back on the ground, the added stones tumbling off. "Wha-What did I just do?" he asked. "Did I just roll into a boulder?"

"I'd say that's pretty much what happened," Elsa happily replied, decreasing the density of her fist.

He dusted himself off, preparing to head further into the temple.
ZZZZZZZZ.... zzzzzzzzz....
He froze, looking further down the hallway. He soon decided not to think about it, walking onward anyway. "Guess something lives here," he offered.

"Ooh, fun..." Elsa mused, smirking at the path ahead and brushing off her jacket.

Wario tried to tread carefully (as carefully as you can when you naturally weigh over 500 pounds and you're wearing a suit made of rock), Doing his best to limit the stomping footsteps his stone clodhoppers were making. Looking around, it appeared as though the bones of wild animals trayed about, something very obviously having eaten a very BIG amount of them in the past few days... Wario just ignored the fleshless corpses, walking on his merry way.

Elsa regarded the carnage with a quiet "Hm," continuing onwards with little concern. If something was waiting for them, she was going to find it. Curiosity had yet to kill this cat.

The hallway seemed to go on forever, eventually parting into an amazing looking open room. It was devoid of any notable treasure, but was filled with stunning pillars, lovely statues, and...?
An odd, dog-like beast laid in the center, oddly cuddled into a patch of flora that had sprung up on the floor. It was big, yellow, and seemed to have four eyes... It was soundly asleep for now, thank goodness.
"...what in the world," Wario mumbled, looking at the odd sight.

Elsa merely squinted her eyes and tilted her head, scrutinizing the creature. She had seen quite a few aliens like this; this wasn't anything particularly worrisome. Still... it might've been in their best interest not to rouse this beast.

There were three other exits aside from the hallways they had come from. Looking around, Wario motioned toward the left wall, trying to sneak his way toward the doorway without rousing the beast awake. Despite his best efforts, every footstep made a crunchy sound, but the beast continued to sleep soundly.
