[ooc]Um... nice rendition of Mizuki's mother. Good thing she isn't alive, since she died after Mizuki was barely 13 months old or so (or was it younger?). X_x; [/ooc]

Into the depths of the temple
Mizuki passed by three consecutive rooms, filled with coffins. Never stopping to check on each one for fear of what may be inside, she passed the rooms fast, though she walked. She after the third coffin-filled room, however, she came to a dark corridor, a small hole in the wall (which Mizuki could probably fit into), and a catwalk up above her. Mizuki first tried to look into the corridor to see if she'd be alright, but couldn't see anything. She turned around quietly and quickly, before turning back and looking into the hole in the wall.
It was too dark to see anything. She looked away, and stood up to look up at the catwalk. Noticing that it was a little shaky here and there, she couldn't help but wonder if it was safe. However, to her mind, it was much safer than going into a dark place all alone, especially when there was not a way of getting any light without using some valued resources (in this case, her magic power). Mizuki walked around looking for a way up. upon the north-western corner of the room, there was a small ladder, and Mizuki walked up to it. It seemed sturdy enough, and it was made of metal. All in all, it was safe, so Mizuki placed her hands on the outer poles...
It's not safe there!
Mizuki stopped. She looked at the ladder carefully, and then at the catwalk. There was nothing to be afraid of, yet.. something told her differently. Mizuki looked around the room. There was nothing on the ground that could be dangerous, besides the coffins if they housed some monster. Until she found out about the coffins, though, there was nothing else there that could even be moved, let alone be harmful.
Try looking up!
Mizuki suddenly looked up, as if mechanical, and began to scan the ceiling. There was nothing on there except for a lot of black patches that seemed to be covered with something black. Thinking slightly harder, Mizuki reached for a piece of broken stone from the temple. She tossed it onto the catwalk, and saw fire come out of the holes. It was a fire trap! She would have been burned to death before she made it up on the catwalk! Luckily, she remained unharmed for her carefulness, and she went on to the corridor's and the hole again. Between the two, there had to be a right and a wrong way (again), and Mizuki continuously looked into each one. She went from one to the other and looked into the darkness, trying to see anything at all that could distinguish the correct path from the wrong, but there didn't seem to be one. To be sure, Mizuki placed her hands together and concentrated on the very center between the palms. After about 3 seconds of concentration, Mizuki formed a small fire, and threw it into the corridor. The fire, however, bounced downwards, into a stair case that led to a lower level. Mizuki felt unsure about this direction, and considered it a bad idea to go in without at least seeing into the hole. Mizuki knelt down, concentrated, and tossed a bit of fire into the hole. It bounced deeper into it, but after 3 bounces (which took the flame 13 ft.) the flame went out. Mizuki sighed and just retried throwing another flame into the hole; only, it stopped sooner then the last one. Mizuki puffed up her right cheek in frustration. There was obviously a magical field in it that stopped all magic from entering. Mizuki decided it would be a better idea to use the stairs, and she went to the top of the stairs and looked down into the deep darkness. Mizuki finally drew up another flame, and carried it down with her...
