The Avatar of Horus Cheops and the Avatar of Hathor Heba are glaring at Adrian, but they could not fight back because they were the ones that started it. Kanlaon could be seen hissing at the two avatars while Saena, who is perched at Adrian's shoulder, puffed her plume in a threatening gaze. Sirius could be seen growling inside Adrian's shadow waiting to bite the necks of the two avatars should Adrian give the command.
Powerful bloodlust could be felt from Adrian as his soulbounds went into full defensive mode to protect their master. Adrian told them to stand down as he knew that his soulbounds would undoubtedly attack them if they even showed a hint of aggression. He does not want to suddenly start a war with the other temples in the western continent.
"May I ask where the two prophets went, Champion Equinox?" The High Priestess Estet asked which is heard by the three avatars.
Adrian knew what the High Priestess Estet meant when she asked him this question. She wanted to inform the three that he has not just one but two prophets on his side. She made sure to sound like she is whispering but also audible enough for everyone near her to hear.
"They returned back to Avalon because some pesky flies were starting to gather about. They were very upset that I made them go back despite it only being a day." Adrian replied.
"I see that is unfortunate. Now that you are here, Champion Equinox. I remembered that we are supposed to have a chat, but I was very busy earlier that I was not able to attend to you. I am quite free now since some pesky leeches already left the premises. I think the two of you can see yourselves out." The High Priestess Estet stated as she escorted Adrian to the garden earlier.
"Let me in on the talk as well. I want to talk to the Champion of the Twin Gods as well." Sadiki stated as he was told by Set to visit Adrian who was currently in the western continent.
The Avatar of Horus Cheops and the Avatar of Hathor Heba are left dumbfounded that they were treated as air despite one of them being the avatar of the God of the Wind. Heba told Cheops that they need to leave because they are not welcomed in this temple anyway. They only came here because they felt such powerful divine energy at the Ceaseless Desert which is guarded by the Temple of Bastet.
If the Temple of Bastet was not protecting the Ceaseless Desert, then the other avatars that came could have forced themselves inside the temple. The Temple of Bastet chose to guard the Ceaseless Desert which is why they have great authority on who enters from their side. They made it very clear that no one is to enter the Ceaseless Desert when they felt the strong presence of divine energy.
The Avatar of Horus and the Avatar of Hathor left with an indignant attitude, but they now knew where the powerful divine energy came from. The fact that two prophets came to the western continent is already big news. They will make sure that they will be the first ones to greet them once they come back.

"Thank you for coming here, Champion Equinox. Those two would not leave even when I tell them that hey cannot pass through the Great Gorge. This musclehead! I can tolerate but those two arrogant people are a pain in my head." The High Priestess Estet stated.
"I actually just went back here to check if something happened as you can see that we emitted too much divine energy earlier." Adrian stated he is considerate of the help that the Temple of Bastet has given him.
"We are doing just fine. We have divine authority over the Ceaseless Desert. Even the Temple of the Storm needs to honor that authority as we got this territory when the gods chose their areas." The High Priest Estet stated.
"I also came here to ask if you ever heard of Sun Shards." Adrian asked as the Temple of Bastet might have some.
"Sun Shards? You actually defeated the Desert Sun Beetles? They are famed for their tough defense and elusiveness. Only Golden Warriors could defeat them in the Ceaseless Desert, and we usually only defeat one every year. They do not actively get near the Great Gorge which is why we never bothered hunting them." The High Priestess Estet stated.
"To think that you defeated the Desert Sun Beetle in such a short span of time. You are truly worthy of the title of champion." Sadiki added.
"Thanks. I actually need them. Can you give me at least three more? Adrian asked as he only needs three more to fix the broken monster core.
"Sun Shards are not a definite item found on the Desert Sun Beetles' body as they are only generated when they get filled with solar energy. We do have some in the inventory, but Sun Shards are kept as treasures that is used to summon light during night when we experience the period of darkest nights. We cannot just give them to you easily." The High Priestess Estet stated.
"If I trade you something like a Desert Sun Beetles' Carapace or Horn? Will you be able to give them to me?" Adrian asked which made Sadiki and Estet speechless.
Defeating the Desert Sun Beetles is already a great feat but to actually perfectly harvest their monster parts used in creating armor for golden warriors is beyond luck. Adrian did not know that Desert Sun Beetles usually destroys their bodies when they know that they are going to die.
Majority of the carapace or horns used to create weapons or armors for golden warriors are usually lucky finds in the desert sands. Desert Sun Beetles shed their carapace while their horns get broken when facing each other which is why getting them is a matter of luck.
