The water shrine was calmer than she'd expected. Even surrounded by the walls of the thrashing whirlpool it was quiet and calm. It was damp, certainly, and overgrown but compared to what she'd heard of the other shrines it was almost pleasant

"Is everyone ready?"

Rydia glanced around the area, familiar with it thanks to last time but not about to let that lull her into a false sense of security. The myrrh tree and its guardian were ahead, and doubtless they'd need all their strength to fight it. Nodding to Porom, she darted her an encouraging smile.

"I'm ready. Let's go." Without hesitation, she strode forward. Normally she would hang back with the mages, but since she'd been there before and they hadn't, someone had to take the lead. Of course, Edge would be at her side as well. She expected no less.

Edge was right on Rydia's heals. He was ready to take point, but had to admit that he really didn't know the way through the shrine. Looking around, he also was surprised by the absence of fear. Grabbing a shuriken for good measure, he was ready for what lay beyond.

"This shouldn't take too long," he blurted out, confident of his skills.

"Yeah, if we don't drown."

Leave it to Palom to be pessimistic. But it was him joking around. He had been ready too. The Water crystal was just too important to him and his sister and to all of Mysidia for him to be afraid. He fell into step behind Edge.

Porom clasped the water crystal to her chest as she followed.

"You could turn yourself into a toad if you're that worried about it."

Rydia smirks faintly at that, glancing back to Porom and the Water Crystal. "Let's save our energy for what's ahead. That goes for the creatures in here, too. If we can avoid or evade them, that would be for the best. Fighting this guardian is going to take all our strength."

The summoner frowns, focusing once more on the path ahead of them. She didn't want to lecture only to be caught off-guard herself. So far, she didn't see any sigh of the Kraken, but that wasn't bound to last for long....

"I can just beat a path through them if you all are so worried."

He pushes ahead with a small glance to Rydia checking to make sure he was choosing the right path, silently grinning that for once he's not the one about to be toaded.

"But if I toaded myself, you'd leave me like that."

He was pretty sure she would, just out of spite. To teach him a lesson for tricking the students into toading each other. But Rydia was right. They needed to be ready for anything around here.
