Adi smiled as the male spoke and winked at him then Evanesca. There was more then one way to use a firearm. Some ways that didn't involve noise. He crept along the male, then split off from him to slide around the opposite side of the first tent they came to. He really did wish he had remembered to go get his trust sword from his own campsite but that was to late. They would have to swing around and grab it when they left this place. However he was use to having to improvise. He glanced around the tent, seeing that nobody was there and slowly crept towards the next in a semi-crouch. Half way around the next tent he froze as somebody was moving around and making noise. He moved an inch forward and looked around the tent to see a guard there, a pistol and baton upon his waist.
Biting his lip, Adi knelt and picked up a rock. He pulled his arm back, and hurled the rock up and over the tent to the other side and listen. The guard let out a questioning "Huh?" and turned towards the noise, hand dropping to his pistol. Adikartika slipped out behind the male. Tossing his pistol in to the air, he caught it by the barrel then drew the weapon back and brought it forward to connect with the base of the guards skull with nothing more then a dull thump. The man crumpled like a dropped sack of flour, and Adi bent and quickly retrieved the guard's baton and sheathed his pistol. A much more simply weapon to utilize in this mission.

Kogo watched as Adi split up from him and went a separate way. He walked off to another tent while Adi checked the first one. The tent Kogo checked was apparently one for the excavators because he saw three figures in sleeping bags laying inside, one snoring lightly. Smiling to himself, he pulled his head back out of the tent to the sound of a dull thud like something falling into the sand. Next came some kind of grunt and then another thud. Kogo watched as a guard walked towards the source of the noise, oblivious to Kogo's presence.
The elemental wrapped the mist in the air around the guards head and turned it into a liquid state, forcing the water to completely envelop the guard's head and cut off his access to oxygen. One the guard passed out from the lack of oxygen to his brain, Kogo removed the water from around the man, and the water that had entered his lungs and walked towards the source of noise himself. Seeing Adi there with an unconscious guard at his own feet, Kogo raised and eyebrow and checked the last tent, much larger than the rest, finding it to hold six more sleeping people.
The elemental looked towards Adi and motioned for them to head towards the tomb, walking forward silently towards their goal.

They had found another tomb that he was staying in. Filthy humans, all they wanted was the treasure. Anpu's fore fathers made the tombs and helped the humans and this how they repay them? disgracing their tombs for no good reason. Anpu had quietly made his way into the tomb, silently he stepped through the tomb, following the foot steps. Grabbing the torches he dropped them on the ground and kicked sand over them putting them out. He found the first grave robber, drawing his sword he quickly ran up and decapitated the man. Catching the head he grabbed the body and set both on the ground as he quickly made his way through the tomb, slitting the throats and decapitating the unsuspecting robbers.
He soon found his self in the large main room of the tomb where the piles of gold was held along with the sarcophagus'. Seeing the two men trying to pry open a sarcophagus and putting the gold in bags he let a low growl out from his throat. When one of the men turned around he leaped off the stairs and impaled the sword into the mans chest while covering his mouth. When the second man turned around he yelled, Anpu quickly jumped up and grabbed the mans throat, silencing him and crushing his windpipe he watched as the man gasped for air and struggled try to remove his hand off of his neck. His lips curled back he snarled and dug his nails into the mans flesh. Piercing the mains skin the blood started running down his arm as he sunk is fingers into the mans neck, grabbing his throat he kicked the man in the chest and sent him flying back into the wall as he yanked back, ripping out his throat.
Looking at the throat in his hand that dripped blood and dropped it. Turning around he began walking back towards the entrance, His ears twitching in the direction of the entrance he could hear a struggle and faint sounds of sand shifting echoing into the tomb he grabbed his sword. Wiping it off on the mans cloths he sheathed it and hid behind one of the many statues in the room. Hidden in the darkness he remained still and silent, waiting to see just who it was.

Adikartika glanced at Kogo and nodded at his motion. Gripping the baton he slipped towards the entrance of the tomb and pressed his back against the left side. He leaned around, glancing inside the black portal and frowning. He had no flashlight to light the path. He glanced over at Kogo and nodded a slight message that it was clear and waited for him. Then thinking about it...he remembered the tiny zippo lighter in his pocket that he had used to light the fire with at the camp he and Eva had been staying at.
Reaching down he grabbed the object and lifted it up. Flicking it the tiny little flame instantly sprang to life and painted flickering shadows along the walls. He glanced at Kogo again, swallowing and slowly stepped inside as he had to hold the light up to light their path. Kogo would have to simply watch their back and do the majority of the fighting for this part as if Adi dropped the lighter, they would both be plunged in to the blackest black and not be able to see a thing making them easy targets.

Kogo had the water that he had been controlling following along with him at his feet as he walked behind Adi. They tomb was pitch black and Kogo wondered what they would do for light, when Adi pulled a zippo lighter out of his pocket. That would help a little, maybe giving them about a five to seven foot radius of flickering light with which to view. Thankfully, the passage they were in wasn't too wide, though the weak source of light might become a problem within a larger chamber of the tombs.
Kogo followed slightly behind Adi, cautious but not on edge. He had no idea what to expect from this place, and knowing that there was more to the world than could ever be imagined, he was an elemental after all, and had just met a real dragon, he had no idea what to expect. Countless movies and books came to his head with explorers being attacked by reanimated zombies, and ancient Egyptian curses plaguing the antagonists.
With those thoughts in his mind, Kogo became a little more on-edge and pulled the water in closer for quick use. He hated the tiny lighter now, since, although it was better than nothing, it was a sad excuse of a light and played tricks on the young elemental's mind, making him see things that weren't there. Now too late to go back, Kogo figured that there would've been some kind of lantern at the camp site for them to use in here. However, turning around and trying to make it back to the entrance would surely get them lost.
Looking behind them, thinking about the entrance, Kogo's foot bumped into something and he nearly tripped over it. The elemental crouched down and saw a shoe, connected to a leg, in the flickering light. He let out a short-lived noise somewhere between a squeak and a scream, and fell onto his butt on the dusty floor. There was some sort of sticky liquid on the pants and the shoes, and from how still the body lay, only one substance came to mind. The elemental sat there, frozen in shock and mild fear, experiencing his first corpse.

The stench of blood, he could taste it. The mans blood dripping off his hands he stepped out from the out cove and walked towards the entrance to try and see who it was coming into the tomb. The flickering light of a flame, then a screech. Who ever it was didn't like what he left laying around.
Stepping quietly he walked down the tunnel far enough that he could see the two men, one on the ground and another standing up. Staying back in the shadows he remained quiet until he turned walked back into the main room. He would be surprised if they followed him since the young male screeched from just seeing a body. Surely following footsteps in the darkness right in front of them would scare them or at least the younger male.
All he wished for was for the humans to leave to tombs alone, they didn't care for who was slumbering in them and only wanted the treasure and secrets in them. The thought of sealing this tomb in behind the men and letting this be their grave, or perhaps just killing them. He didn't want to just jump into a battle with them since he could see they were not ordinary grave robbers.

Adikartika looked sideways at the male, narrowing his eyes. He sighed and grasped the male's arm hoisting him back up to his feet. He leaned close and whispered in the ear. "Be any louder Kogo....whoever did this is still around. Way to give us away." He released the male, and called for Evanesca in his mind. Feeling his mighty partner approaching, he pushed Kogo's head down as a light started back where they had come from. Flame sheeted across the ceiling, a rippling torrent of scorching heat and light that rolled past them in to the darkness. The heat stopped and the light slowly faded away and Adi pulled Kogo's up again.
"There, a good warning to whatever is in here with us that if they mess with us they will become a crispy piece of bacon. Let's go." He walked in to the darkness, running a hand along the wall before suddenly the wall vanished as the tunnel clearly opened up in to a large chamber of some kind that he couldn't see in the darkness. He stumbled along, left hand waving in front of himself to prevent himself from stumbling in to anything though he still was holding the police baton. The other hand fumbling with the lighter trying to strike it again and light it so they could see and find this scarab beetle they needed to get out of this death ridden cavern.

Kogo looked at Adi apologetically after being scolded for his actions. "Sorry about that, just kinda happened." The elemental rubbed the back of his head, and let go just as Adi put his own hand on it and pushed Kogo's head down.
A wave of heat and light passed over the two males, going further into the darkness ahead of them, and originating from the entrance. The only thing that Kogo could think of doing this was Evanesca, and Kogo's respect, and fear, for the dragoness deepened. He smiled at his partner's words before following him once more down the dark corridor.
Hearing Adi take a very heavy step, and slightly making out his silhouette stumble, Kogo reached out and grabbed the back of Adi's shirt in order to help steady him. Feeling the air change, and also no longer feeling rock on either side of him, the elemental concluded that they had entered some sort of room in the tombs. Right now, he definitely wished that they had a better light.
Sighing, the elemental rested while Adi tried to relight the lighter. His head hanging down, Kogo noticed something club shaped lying at his feet and reached out to feel it. He could make out the distinct feel of both metal and wood, and he reached out to tap Adi's shoulder right as the male got the lighter working again, showing him the torch. "Look what I found."

Anpu crouched down to wait as they slowly made their way into the room, when the fire came flying out of the hallway along the ceiling he stood up and grabbed his sword. He wondered just what could make flames like that, they didn't have any thing on them that could do that. Hearing them walk closer and closer he watched the doorway before seeing them, the sparks flying from the lighter as the man tried to get the source of light working. His ears twitching at the sound of the torch being kicked he watched the second man bend down to pick it up.
As the second male stood up and spoke Anpu slowly walked towards the other side of the room, speaking as he walked. "What is it you seek in this tomb? Gold? Fame? You do not look like normal grave robbers that is the only reason I did not kill you in the tunnel. Speak quickly for I grow impatient of your kind."
Stopping her turned around and looked at them, his right hand resting on the sword his left remained at his side. His ears twitching at every little sound made around him he stared at the men while waiting for their answer of why they were there. He wanted to just kill them and continue on his way but something told him they were not normal beings.

Adi struck the lighter to life finally, and as Kogo showed and offered the torch he moved to light it. Just before he did, a voice wafted around them. Creepily and eerily, it filled the air of the open chamber around them like some sort of spirit that was every where and yet no where. Adi narrowed his eyes, and instead of lighting the torch answered. "Whoever or whatever you are, we seek neither of those items and have no wish to defile this tomb anymore then simply retrieve...well a bug. Surely, a great being such as yourself wouldn't mind a little bug service?"
Allowing the rather smart assed remark to sink in, he passed the flame of the lighter that had begun to sputter beneath the torch, lighting it before the lighter quickly died having spent all it's fuel. He left the torch in Kogo's hands and having had his eyes narrowed slowly widened them quickening the change of his pupil's from the pitch black to the bright light. It wasn't as quickly as he wished, but it was better then nothing at all. Then he saw it...something standing far off near a wall. Something vaguely human...though it's head was definitely not.
"What are you being? You are like nothing I have ever heard of. Daemons, angels, even minotaurs and centaurs....you fit none of these. Speak please...and we shall collect what we came for and leave in peace. My curiosity, and those of my companions or at least one I know off, is quite great at the moment."

Just as Adi was about to light the torch in Kogo's hands, a displaced voice spoke out from all around them, inquiring as to what the two were searching for in the tomb. Adi ignored the torch, surely forgetting it for the moment as Kogo had done, as he answered the voice, telling of their search for a 'bug.' Adi then said "Surely, a great being such as yourself wouldn't mind a little bug search," which Kogo took to be a sarcastic remark towards the unknown being.
Adi then lit the torch that still remained in Kogo's hands, and the elemental blinked a few times at the sudden change in lighting. When his eyes finally adjusted to the light, Kogo looked around for the source of the voice.
Adi seemed to have found the being as well, since he was staring in the same direction as Kogo was. There was a humanoid shaped silhouette standing against a far wall, though its outlined head was far from human. It looked almost canine in structure, though with a snout longer than that of a dog's. Kogo felt as though he should know what the creature was, though the thought was evading him on the edges of his mind.
Even without knowing what exactly the creature was, Kogo sensed that it was dangerous, and focused more on its movements, and his own control over the water that hovered slightly above the floor around him. He barely registered the words that Adi was speaking, the elemental's focus remaining mostly on this outlined figure.
