The Temple

“This way please.”
I snapped out of my daydream, interrupted by the man. I wasn’t even sure what his name was, but I knew he had something important to show me. I was used to this type of thing, not knowing names. It happens in my profession.
“Yes, I know it is impressive, but we must hurry!” He said
I realized that I continued to stare at the large gold statue of the god of light. It’s eyes, made of diamonds the side of my knuckles had something about them, but I couldn’t tell what. Now, however wasn’t the time for such thoughts. I quickly turned to my employer, who had hired me to inspect a series of…unnatural events.
You see, I am a sort of detective. I am not part of any office, or directory you will ever see. I am a freelancer, who is hired for the occurrences that the populace does not want to know about, the supernatural ones. Most people think “ghosts” when they hear supernatural, which is sometimes true. But the reality is that they are only the tip of the iceberg. True supernatural occurrences are things that are not dead, because they never lived. They really do not exist, nor have they ever existed, but they are there.
“Right through here please, watch your head.” He said
I exit the long hall, and enter through a hidden door. The room opens up into a huge, hidden room. But something was wrong. The room had ceilings several hundred feet high, but the building wasn’t even half that height. The room had almost a mile in each direction, including the distance between me and the door I had just stepped through. This was a common sign of the presence of a wraith, or as it was professionally called, Unknown B26. These are extremely powerful, and even more dangerous. I had faced only three of these, and I had only succeeded alone once. This would be very hard.
Just then, my radio came to life. “Did you make it in?”
I pulled my radio out of its holster and said “Yes. You didn’t tell me that it was a wraith. This will cost extra.”
“Fine, fine,” he said “I will pay whatever it takes to preserve the temple. Do you know the historical value of this place?”
“In all truth,” I said, “I could care less, as long as I don’t get killed by this thing.”
I knew there was some big lecture about how foolish I was in its way, but I really didn’t want to hear it, so I shut the radio off. At this point, I decided that it would be a good time to set up shop. I carefully placed my suitcase down next to me, and got out my equipment. There were things that I could never explain in there, because it was so advanced beyond popular perception of modern technology. None of what I would say would sound logical. Just think Ghostbusters proton pack, and you have an extremely basic idea of it.
As I readied myself, I heard the distinctive sound of a wraith scram. It is higher than the pitch of human hearing, so I couldn’t explain it to you. Truthfully, you don’t even hear it. It is heard with your mind, not your ears.
I armed the pack, just in time to see the black cloud approach. The wraiths have no form, it is just a big black cloud with powers we don’t even know of, because no one has ever seen them and lived to tell the tale.
As I waited for it to come into range, I noticed something I had never seen in one of these before. He had a glowing ball floating inside the smoke. I had never heard anyone tell of it before, although I had heard many battle stories between my friends and these. I wanted to know what it was, but this wasn’t the time.
I fired the strange, blue beam, and it went straight through the smoke. I tried again, and it went through the smoke a second time. By this time, I was nervous. Then, I had an idea that I was sure would work. I aimed directly where I saw the light, and fired. It was a direct hit. The beam made a large, near blinding explosion where it had hit.
After the Explosion had ended, I looked to see that the wraith was gone. At that point, I realized that the room was again regular sized. It was maybe the size of a large living room. I had managed to eliminate the wraith.
