'It looks like Niflheim and the others were in a hurry.'
By the time Izroth reached the end of the tube, there was no one in sight. However, Niflheim had been sure to give him correct instructions on how to proceed after arriving in the True Settlement of Clearwater. Of course, Izroth understood that there was something internal going on within Blue Oasis that they probably did not want to expose to outsiders. Therefore, he decided to wait a bit before entering the tube to grant them some time to go on ahead.
As Izroth swept his gaze over his new environment, the first thing he realized was the amount of light present underground. It was hard to believe that sunlight did not reach down into the True Settlement of Clearwater as it was just as bright as any normal sunny day. The main difference was, of course, the fact that this light was mostly coming directly from some of the corals and plants.
Just a heads up! There will be no chapter tomorrow. Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I will be spending the day with my family. I hope those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving have a great holiday! As for those of you who don't, I hope you still have an amazing day. :)
