Clarification: If there are two people that speak different languages at the same place,
(ex. en&ch)
EN: "And he did that."
CH: "And he did that."
Will be like this. (Even though there is none in this Part)

2024
It took me a few runs but I finally found it. The First Soul Temple.
The Soul Temple was located in the sewers of Hong Kong.
Isn't this place new? How can there be an entrance here?
Dagny pulled out the swiss knife he took before coming here. He inserted it in the wall and twisted it clockwise. It didn't budge.
Hmm?
He tried turning it counter clockwise. The wall came sliding down. There was a long tunnel behind it. His phone ringed just as he was going in.
Emir?
"Yes?" he said in a cheerful voice.
"Hey Dagny, just wanted to check up on you. How is your vacation going?"
"I am great. This was just what I needed. Japan is a wonderful place!"
"You weeb!"
"HEY!"
"Anyway, I gotta get going. The company doesn't run itself you know."
"See you soon *beep*. Well I don't think he suspects a thing."
He turned towards the tunnel.
Here goes nothing.
There was a rotten smell in the tunnel. The cracked stone brick walls were covered in moss, vines and other types of foliage.
How could have they stayed alive thousands of years without oxygen?
He opened his flashlight. Something was shining back at him. He got closer and crouched down. There was a lighter on the ground. It was made out of copper. It seemed pretty new. There was no sign of decay on it.
Did somebody come in before me?
He got anxious. He started running. Have somebody came here before him? Could they have taken something?
His footsteps were followed with sounds of metallic objects hitting the walls as he kicked them with each step. The further he went, more the trash. He had ran so far, he could bet he reached the ocean.
There was water dropping from the ceiling. He slipped and fell face first in to a wall. It was a dead end.
What?
He started to feel around trying to find a hole. A key hole. But he found nothing. He noticed the wall he fell onto was not a wall but instead a pile of rubble. The tunnel might have been continuing onwards if it weren't for the rubble.
He started thinking. There was nothing he could do about the rubble, so he saved that for a last try. Maybe there was some other way he could reach the Soul Temple.
Wait! I figured it out. The keyhole in the entrance, maybe it was supposed to turn clockwise like the one in Egypt. I may have been on the other side of the wall! And if that's the case this way doesn't lead to the temple, it leads to outside.
He ran back to the sewer. And just like he thought there was a keyhole on the opposite wall. He put the knife in. Clockwise. The door slowly slided down.
There was a staircase going down on the otherside. There was a room down there. The room was big. There was hyroglifics on the walls.
There was a pedestal standing on the middle of the room. There was a black orb on top of it.
The black orb, which Dagny guessed was a Soul Stone, was the size of a beach ball with a fire engraving on it. There was a white dot in the middle of the orb.
He approached the orb. He putted his hand on the orb to take a closer look. The white dot started shining and turned black. He pulled his hand out of shock.
What happened just now?
He started coughing uncontrollably. It was getting worse with each cough. He fell on the floor.
A boobytrap?
He was running out of oxygen. He started to feel heat forming inside his throat. He started cough out smoke. And following the smoke, he started breathing fire uncontrollably.
He crawled towards the wall in a last ditch effort. It read;
"The Fire&Air Stone. The blessing gives a destructive power to it's user. But if it goes out of control disaster follows."
This does not help!
He crawled to the next hyroglifics.
"One must put their hands together and think, Blessing of Fire&Air I accept, to activate it."
He crawled to the next.
"And think, Blessing of Fire&Air I refuse, to stop it."
Thank God! Blessing of Fire&Air I refuse.
The coughing stopped. He gasped for air, still lying on the ground. He got up and headed out, with a lot of thought in mind. He pulled out his phone when got out.
"Emir, I need a longer break. There are things I need to attend to."
