Trunks was admiring his new hand then snapped back into reality and nodded. He saw Ayame unsure on her feet and ran over to her. Lifting her left arm he slid it over his shoulder and held her around her waist. Because of the height difference he had to slouch as they walked but that didn't matter to him.
"Blu you lead this time."

Blu raised an eyebrow at Trunks. "Want to keep me where you can see me or something?" He laughed, feeling a little bit of his old self coming back. This Ayame was different from most girls--and very close to her mother. He had begun to respect her enough to stop his foolish innuendo--or at least, most of it.
"Well, if you need any more help back there, I'll be more than pleased to lend a shoulder."
And with those words he stepped through the moon archway.

The room that Blu stepped into was very dim. There were no torches in this room, but in the center was a stand with a glowing orb placed in it. The blue light it emitted was soft -- it illuminated just far enough to show the walls around the room. Three beams of light shot out of the stand to strike the walls. The beams of light were not very strong either, but existed because there were three holes dug out of the stone stand. In the base of the stand were three orbs. They were exactly the size of the three holes in the stone stand and seemed to be made out of the same material as the main orb.

Her only hesitation was due to a pride issue...but she was not as stubborn as her mother and accepted Trunks' help to keep from holding the team up. She walked with him and followed Blu into the Moon room. Her eyes adjusted to the darkness, revealing the stand with the orbs. They hadn't seemed to trigger anything yet and the door was still open behind them.
"Interesting..." she said to herself as she surveyed the glowing stand.

Trunks helped Ayame into the moon room. A small flashback of the snake jumping out at him popped into his head.
"Blu before we touch anything I think we should check out the other room"

"Sounds like a good idea."
Careful not to touch anything, Blu led the way, walking back through the main room and entering under the sun entryway, keeping a slow pace so that Trunks could keep up with Ayame behind.

The Sun room was better lit than the main room and far better than the Moon room. It had 7 torches around its walls, but only 1 was lit on the far end (and yet it was brighter...go figure). There was a mirror border running along the wall around the room above and below the torches. The ceiling was also one giant mirror. This helped to reflect the light around the room. Each torch had a symbol carved in it and also had plenty of material in it to burn. There were several sticks littering the floor.

She looked around the room. On the far wall, to the right of the torch, on a slab of stone above the mirror, was some engraving. It looked like it might be text.
"Hey. What's that?" She pointed towards the wall but did not move a step further into the room as she didn't want to set any traps off.

"Stay here and and rest a bit. I'm going to check things out." Trunks let go of Ayame but not without making sure that she had her footing.
The Saiyan prince went to look at what Ayame was pointing at. Along the way he made sure to look at the rest of the space between the mirrors along the wall.

As Trunks headed toward the engraving, Blu sated an impulse of his own. He walked to the unlit torch to his direct right--the one with a crescent moon symbol--and examined it and its immediate vicinity (from floor to ceiling) very closely. He also pulled on it.
