The First Odyssey/The Temple

Chanket screams for everyone on ship to come aboard, Shilla tells Chanket that there were literally only two other people on the ship, just her and Ulysses, Ulysses drops down from the mast, hitting his head a bit, Chanket reveals the ship has 'knocked' itself onto a strange surface: a bricked dark blue pyramid sticking out in the middle of the sea. Chanket pulls out a map of Waterworld, squinting as he reads it, before revealign that this strange place they'd stumbled upon might just be the legendary container of Evilon the Dark Wizard's buried treasure, a treasure that they scourged for for a long time when Chanket himself was a seafaring fortune looker.

Ulysses tries to tear through the pyramid with his knife, before realizing it was rock solid, Shilla gets ontop of the pyramid, knocking on it, saying it didn't seem to be hollow, Ulysses jumps on, before falling off because of his slightly burnt hands into the water, realizing the pyramid was just the tip of a much larger underwater pyramid, Chanket says they may just have stumbled upon a temple. Chanket wonders how they can open it, but before he can finish a hypothesis, Ulysses has already manned the cannons, they both scream for him not to do it, but he blows open the top of the pyramid and a scream plays out, along a large dark scary looking fog, Ulysses shrugs, saying it'll probably nothing, and jumps right into the interior of the temple.

They're greeted by a large hall, Shilla tries advancing but Chanket stops her, revealing there's probably traps spread everywhere through the temple. Shilla's tail triggers a mass amount of arrows to shoot out from the wall and pin themselves onto the wall, which again triggers a series of trapdoors to open below their feet, which they managed to narrowly avoid, however, just when they think they've avoided all the trapdoors, the largest one opens before their very feet and they drop down into a seemingly endless hole, when they realize they're all completely covered by bubbles. Infront of them, **Evilon the Dark Wizard** reveals himself, and berades them for trying to find his money, lamenting that noone wants to spend time with him in his magic temple, Chanket complains that he could put directions to his temple, as he'd tried finding it for a long time, an enraged and offended Evilon launches a magic bolt at Chanket, turning him into a Gulpgulp. Ulysses screams, screaming for Chanket to be turned back, he too is turned into a Gulpgulp. Evilon looks at Shilla, who stays quiet, assuming if she says anything she too will be transformed. After an akwkward silence, Ulysses asks if Shilla's just not getting transformed, Shilla jumps at Ulysses, Evilon goes "Ah, what the hell.", before also transforming her. Evilon proclaims if they wish to get his treasure they'll have to traspass through the temple in the new forms.

They start cruising through the narrow tunnels of the pyramid, coming across their first obstacle: a large wall that they're unable to climb through. Ulysses notices there was a bird nest on one of the uncared walls, trying to climb onto it, the three form a tower, but it collapses. The bird, angered, flies around everywhere and latches onto Chanket, Ulysses realizes this will work, and tells him to control its movements by pulling on its legs. Chanket screams, asking how to do it, but quickly figures it out, and while struggling to not be eaten by the creature, it directs it towards the top of the wall, dropping himself off, Chanket pulls a lever, and the water flow starts flowing backwards, dragging them up instead of down.

While they continue to cruise through the temple, they notice it get significantly warmer, before the place is filled with smoke. Evilon the Dark Wizard descends, asking them how they escaped this trap, Ulysses asks him why it's hot all the sudden and he tells them it's because he's cooking a disgusting sad molten cheese sandwich, Evilon the Wizard casts another spell, and the hall twists and conforms into a hellpit. Shilla remembers from her studies that the Gulpgulp has the ability to flush itself out of dangerous situations with large quantities of gas, which they start doing, propelling themselves out of this dangerous chamber and into Evilon the Dark's room. Evilon is there, eating his cake, he looks down saddened, before confessing to them he is a sad and lonely wizard, Ulysses, uncomfortable, sees this as an opportunity for them to be turned back, and tells them he can stick around with them on the ship if he wants. Evilon hesistates, but is eventually convinced when he's told there's unlimited supply of blue sheep in the Ship, Chanket berades Ulysses for this.

Evilon finally turns them back, and begins to crawl out of the temple, while climbing out of the duct, the room opens wide and a face forms inside the Temple, which aggressively asks Evilon if it's trying to abandon them, Evilon is clearly scared of this, and says he was actually luring them into a final chamber. Evilon struggles to manipulate the temple, accidentally revealing the treasure chamber, Shi swims around in the gold, declaring they're rich, before Evilon turns all the gold into snails, filling the room with them and letting them drown in snails. Evilon is confronted by the temple, who angrily asks if the Wizard completely destroyed the treasure, he tries to explain that he did it to kill them, but the Temple's very bricks come out of the walls and beat him up, leaving him magicless.

Meanwhile, in the snail chamber, Chanket tells them not to worry, that snails was the only thing the crew of his old ships ate, as he starts devouring them, he notices all the snails turn back to gold. Since the Temple has removed Evilon the Dark's magic, it too has become magicless, unfortunately, it means the three of them are just stuck within the halls of the Temple. The Temple screams out in frustation as it begins to try and tear its very walls off, before giving in and giving Evilon the Wizard back his magic for one last chance, he tells them to kill the intruders, but Evilon instead uses his powers to destroy the temple, losing his magic in the process and shriveling up. As the Temple crumbles and its bricks sink into the deep blue sea, the trio resurfaces. Chanket and Shi are forced to watch how all the gold and the treasure sinks down into the surface. Ulysses reassures them, telling them the treasure's still there, just far deeper. The ship sets off again to continue looking for Ferlan.

Evilon's withered body drifts through the ocean, before being ran over by the Pale Devourer, he gets so angry he somehow gets his powers back, and threatens to kill Ferlan. Ferlan, unamused, obliterates him with the Power of the Eye, before returning to his quarters to admire its beauty.
