4 Temple Mission (1/2)

Tristan decided to look at the missions for Level 1. Many were investigative missions that involved exploring a different world, but there were several that were on earth as well. Tristan looked for missions that were in Coastal City and found a few of them. He decided to try a mission.

Mission Level 1.

Investigate abandoned temple rumored to be haunted. Location : ...

Reward : 10 credits + Bonus depending on the reports and evidence.

Tristan looked at this mission and thought it was something he could try out. The weekend, he made an excuse at home of going camping for a couple of days before making his way to the temple in question to investigate.

Tristan was an ordinary person, with no magical skills and so wasn't sure how he would be able to handle the situation, however, from reading the forums he figured that most level 1 missions could be solved without much strength.

As he reached the temple's steps, he made his way through the 500 or so stone carved stairs uphill to the small abandoned temple of an eastern belief. The temple was dilapidated, as if it hadn't been cleaned in years and several of the walls of the temple had cracked.

It was a fairly small temple, and Tristan was surprised that such a temple with a picturesque view of the city existed silently, hidden from people. He walked around observing the area, he didn't really find any hints that the place was haunted.

Since Tristan had decided to camp at the place for the night to observe if there was perhaps any haunting, he set up a tent after exploring around the temple and inside, which had the statue of a standing plump cat.

As the sky darkened, Tristan set up a camp fire and began to rest, looking at the sky. He was tensed because of this mission, but it seemed to be for nought. It didn't appear that the temple was haunted at all.

Suddenly Tristan heard footsteps and looked to his left to see a man dressed up in wooly clothes walk up to him. The temple was fairly remote and he was surprised to see Tristan camping here.

”Friend, how come you are camping here?” The man asked.

Tristan thought for a bit before replying. ”I heard that this place was haunted but had really good views of the city and when I came here I found that it was actually a beautiful place to camp. As a camper, who could let go of this opportunity?” He smiled. ”What are you doing here sir, you don't even have any gear, you walked here late in the evening?”

The man laughed. ”My name is Cory. As you said, there are rumors of this place being haunted. I am what you might call a ghost debunker. I investigate such places to debunk them.”

Tristan nodded. ”Do you want some coffee? I didn't find anything out of the ordinary either, I was just surprised at why this place was abandoned.”

”Apparently, this temple was hit by a mild earthquake that destroyed it and let to several deaths and was thus abandoned. It was a peaceful buddhist temple earlier with several visitors.” Cory said.

Just then a weird howling began whistling through the mountain and the wind began rushing in. The trees began swaying wildly and the day had already turned into a moonless dark night.

”Ooooo” A weird wail pierced through the air and the temperature dropped considerably. The man in wooly clothes, Cory, stood up with vigilant eyes. He looked at Tristan, who was also looking around in curiosity. ”Young man, it appears things aren't normal here. We should leave.”
