Ch. 115: Into the Depths of the Underworld

The city below seemed to pulse with a rhythm all its own as I made my way through the gates, the dogs trotting beside me, their leashes taut in my grip. The vastness of the underworld stretched before me, a metropolis both ancient and alive, filled with beings from realms and times beyond imagination. My curiosity flared, and for the first time in what felt like centuries, I wanted to understand the depths of the world I governed.

As I descended from the mansion, the cool air around me shifted, as though the atmosphere of this place was responding to my presence. The winding path led me down toward the heart of the city, through wide streets lined with statues of long-forgotten rulers and heroes who had met their fates. The sky above still shimmered in its otherworldly hue, but here, on the ground, the underworld had its own sense of vibrancy.
