Kanto had found it! Finally! The clues had all added up to finding this magical place. But alas, it would seem there was another group that had beat him to the strange place. Kanto looked up to the large glowing eyes as the team conversated amongst themselves, Kanto positioned himself silently behind a rock large enough to hide his lithe form, tail twitching impatiently as he waited for something else to happen. Should he go up and ask if he could be of assistance? He truly didn't know, and the giant bird looked like it coul dhave him for dinner. But.. It was talking.. Something he had never personally experienced before. For now, the Mishqua decided to do what comes naturally, and remain hidden as he closely inspected the door from far away. Suddenly he heard a loud strange sound that echoed through the already vibrating air, and watched as one of the group began to walk away from the other. Towards him no less.. He decided to remain hunched behind his rock and wait to see what further action the group decided to take.

The last thing Kanto had expected was the presence of so many diverse groups all coverging upon the same mountain fortress at the same time. It must speak to how far and wide the rumors had truly gotten. The large black armored one had begun to unsheath his weapon as Kanto's ears detected yet more figures walk into the fray, largely only interested in themselves and their mission. Kanto was sure he had heard that language somewhere...

Kanto positioned himself upon the rock that he had found his way behind, listening intently to the chatter filling the room from several different groups. He stay there for but a moment before sliding down and casually beginning to walk up to where the emerald eyes illuminated the floor. He largely ignored the woman walking towards him as he did so. He began to inspect the area as if he had been there all along, but let his thoughts remain to himself as he collected the full picture within his minds eye.

Kanto focused his eyes upon the Casren, ears perking up as he was spoken to. Or, he thought he was being spoken to. Either way, he answered. "The holes upon the floor, they are filled with nothing." He said in a very thick accent. "When they should be filled with more fancy rocks. Then the gaze shall continue." he nodded to himself, trailing off at the end in thought. Like connect the dots, Kanto was taking a wild guess that the stream of light must be focused again with more semi precious stones. Whether he was right or wrong didn't really concern him, as it seemed the other forces at work were fast on the track. He sidestepped the smoke device nonchalantly, eying it suspiciously as the smell of sulfer overwhelmed his sensitive nose. He noticed the one that smelled like a lizard was bent down, beginning to remove debris. He decided to help, as he was not doing much else to contribute at this point. His strange little hands began to pull the vegetation and clear away the stone engraving.
