~*Basantha Shrine*~
As you enter through two imposing, wooden doors set into a most elaborate facade of marble and odd black stone, you feel a warm rush of heat against your face. Recovering from the shock you see the immense room is actually like that of a church, the place lit within by a few melting candles here and there, making the interior appear orange and white and warm...
In here, there is a grand ceiling that reaches far up, and upon it are odd niches and symbols carved into the stonework. To your surprise there are also actually people here, brown-robed monks that are chanting, their harmonious voices echoing into your very bones. They don't seem to notice you...
There also appears to be trainers here as well, some apparently praying and some talking softly amongst each other; normal people just like you who seem to have known about this place. However, there is something else that attracts your attention the most...
Three grand statues of marble, each of them elevated over three passageways and clearly lifesize, gaze down upon you with unseeing, stony eyes. It isn't clearly distinguishable as to what gender they each were, leaning towards slight masculinity but at the same time having feminine qualities as well; perhaps it was meant to be that it was not so important... Each figure was dressed in regal armor with flowing, stone-carved cloth that draped elegantly around them, and four wings of the most grand design spread out from the shoulders of each. The first figure up on your left, holds within it's clasped hands before it a chalice that seems to be empty, and at it's feet a scorpion is carved jutting out of the pedestal with it's tail elegantly curved around the figure's left foot. Of the second figure at your front, you see within it's one hand a beautiful stone-carved lantern and in the other a perfect stone sphere. On the right, the figure clutched closely what seems to be a mask and at it's feet a hyena-like creature with a worn-out muzzle is curled...
Besides this, you see those three entrances leading somewhere else, underneath the stone sentinels, that seem to be dark halls that disappear into the darkness. You begin to wonder what is in each, as none of the other trainers and their pets seem to want to venture in...
