Perfect. “With pleasure, Richter. You see, Genesha is known as the remover of obstacles. He is the very first deity many acknowledged first when the visit a temple. Now, he is quite different than what you expect a deity to be like.” She paused and grinned.
“He is a gentle and wise deity with an elephant head. Ganesh is pot bellied, has one tusk broken, and has four arms that may hold a noose called a pasam, an elephant goad, and a pot of rice, or his favorite sweets, laddus…His name refers to “lord of Gana” and his story with Shiva is quite the tale.” Remi paused once more and looked around, taking note of what was to be done.
Quietly, she grabbed the stick from the side of the statue and jammed it into one of the holes provided. With as much of her strength, she pushed and moved the statue to match the painting on the wall. Really, this puzzle is easy. Move the statues to have their shadows fit the painting. Of course, this wasn’t going to distract her.
“Shiva entrusted Ganesh, or Genesha, with leadership of the Ganas, but this was after some strange events. Now, Shiva is the destroyer of the world and had a wife by the name of Parvati. Ah, he’s also seen with a trident. The crazy part is, or rather the strange event, is that he cut off his own son’s head, whom happens to be Ganesha. When his wife Parvati found out, she was furious and Shiva then instructs another head to be joined with Ganesha’s body. There’s many sides to this story, but I’m sure you’ve heard enough.”
Remi continued to move some of the statues into the correct positions and watched as a statue with an axe swing towards her. It stopped only a few inches away from her throat. “Heh… familiar.” She stepped off to the side and heard the door behind them click open. “Amazing how some ancient tech works.” The young woman muttered.
To an imbecile, that much information would have caused their brains to explode. Clearly, Remi is smarter than he had thought in terms of history or mythology. Though, he wasn’t so sure on what type of culture this is or where India is even located. Admittedly, the story was interesting. “You sure do know a lot.”
Richter can also see that this could be of some use in away with time. “Hmph, he should be proud to have you as a knight.” Was that a compliment? Maybe it was.
“You know you could have asked me to help you move those.” The half-elf sighed and readjusted his glasses once more. ...Damnit, he’s interested in the other mythological tales she knows. But for now, he simply walked forward and into the next area of the temple.
It was dark aside from a few holes in the ceiling that let the sunshine slip right on through. Ahead of them was a steep slope and there sure as heck wasn’t a way around it.
