You weren't sure how this puzzle could even be judged. The other puzzles were mainly riddles and logic based movements while this one just seemed like an open ended question. All of the answers seemed pretty reasonable. Maybe it had to do something with an event that happened long ago?
As you continued to ponder that question, many mechanisms were whirring into various different places clicking and snapping together in a way that nobody from the modern age could understand. Once it finally completed it's actions however the purpose seemed pretty evident as multiple stone tubes from far below now had an unblocked passage way straight into the entrance of the temple which was now enclosed. Slowly it moved throughout, scentless and invisible, as it filled the entirety of the space within. Eventually it made it to you where within moments of smelling it, you collapsed onto the floor with a resounding thunk.
A large expanse of dirt, leaves, and trees; that's all you saw when you opened your eyes. It didn't seem clear whether what you were experiencing was a dream or just perspective. Frankly, you were just lost on your words. The jungle you were just briskly walking through seemed endless as trees breached the sky spreading so far that they felt momentous. Not even a sound pierced your ears as if the world itself was lost in what just happened. The jungle was usually a very active area with animals bouncing around but not even the leaves scattered across moved an inch.
This had to be imagination at work, right? BOOM! Shook the ground. BOOM! It shook again. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! It seemed in rhythm this time. You frantically looked around trying to see a change in scenery but nary a thing moved. BAM! It seemed closer now. FWSH! Came the leaf as it flew over you. You screamed at yourself to move somewhere but something kept you grounded, not fear, but curiosity. CHUONG! You directed your attention towards the sound and you saw what looked to be like a dog, that was charging at you. After enough effort, you found it in yourself to say something.
"STOP! I NEED YOU TO STOP!" Your voice attempted to rival the scene around you but it ultimately failed as the dog like creature continued to charge. TGLLSHH!
The figured slammed into the ground with such force that it sent you flying from where you were. As you attempted to get up a massive shadow quickly overtook you and in the corner of your eyes you saw a humongous paw as specks of dirt and dust flew all around you. When it subsided you dared to look up at the thing that nearly went over you, to find that two large light brown eyes already beat you to it.
"are you okay?" The figure whispered barely pushing you back with the warm wet air.
"Yeah... I'm Fine." You replied looking down unwary of what exactly to think. When he didn't respond you looked up once more as you studied his eyes carefully, you thought you saw some kind of spark go off behind before quickly disappearing. While he was thinking, you decided to calm yourself down by listening to the cool breeze, funnily enough it sounded like it was saying something. Something that would fit perfectly with the temple.
"Much help is wanted among the folk who are but a passerby, make it common and all the help will be coming from you. Understand this and you will get back."
"My name's Tracker, and you're coming with me" You wanted to protest but was denied the choice when his nose pushed against you. You instinctively held on as it slowly lifted higher and higher. It then tilted down a bit, when it flipped you up. It wasn't a great distance as you fell into a bowl like plastic object. You flipped once more as you landed on some thin parts of fur. You realized then that it was a helmet.
"What are you going to do with me?" You confidently questioned.
