As the dust settled, a concealed opening emerged, revealing a narrow tunnel ahead. The passage was just spacious enough for two individuals to walk side by side, beckoning us into the unknown depths beyond. The ominous tunnel welcomed us with a chilling embrace, as if time itself had looped back to our initial descent. A strange sense of foreboding hit me like a wave looking at June I could see that even she too seemed a little distracted but I decided to push those thoughts to the back of my mind and broke the silence " shall we?" I asked looking at her and she nodded without saying a word I'm return . June and I found ourselves entering the foreboding labyrinth but to my surprise Stephen was quiet infact it was as if he was no longer occupying my head but I could not careless since I had a more important task at hand.
Entering into the depths, the tunnel felt different—unsettling, like the walls were pulsing with hidden secrets. The glow danced on the worm-like creatures, turning them into silent specters that floated mysteriously, leaving an eerie aura.
The sonar scanning, our guide, faltered in this seemed to falter in this labyrinth. The million entities on the walls took on an otherworldly quality, casting elusive shadows. Whispers, ancient and cryptic, grew more insistent, murmuring tales of long-forgotten realms. I could not believe this , I thought concilia was not that mysterious of a world but now ...
As we delved deeper, the air became charged with unseen truths, and the tunnel transformed into a living mystery. Every step felt like a dive into a realm where reality and illusion danced together. June and I exchanged uneasy glances, sensing something beyond our understanding.
The whispers intensified, creating a haunting melody that echoed through the corridor. The altered reality turned our journey into a mystic odyssey, where each whispered secret pulled us further into the enigma of the unknown. The tunnel, once familiar, now held the essence of ancient secrets, making our progression a delicate dance between reality and the unknown. But still the mission could not change we were hear for Moraine and Catalina but it was getting harder and harder trying to find them , the tunnels were plenty and we reached a point where I proposed we split and try to search all of these tunnels until we found them . June took off and left me standing before a tunnel and I gradually entered it , the tunnel I chose appeared infinite, a maze of ever-shifting shadows and ghostly murmurs. Navigating through the distortion, the surroundings contorted, transforming into a dreamscape of surreal proportions. The luminescent glow of the worm-like creatures etched bizarre patterns on the uneven walls, heightening the eerie ambiance.
Lost in that eerie tunnel, my echolocation thing went crazy, like it had a mind of its own. The creatures on the walls pulsed and danced in eerie sync with the whispers, making the air feel thick with some strange force.
The sonar scanning, meant to guide me , turned into part of the weird illusion. I stumbled forward, feeling like I have been here before, caught in some strange loop. Every step pushed me deeper into the confusing mess of the everlasting tunnel.
The whispers kept changing, playing mind games with truths and messed-up memories. Shadows did this strange dance, messing with our heads. The tunnel that used to make sense turned into a mind trip, where every twist promised more confusion.
I plowed ahead, clueless about this messed-up tunnel we were stuck in. The whispers, shadows, and weird pulsating things teamed up, blurring the line between what was real and what wasn't. The tunnel itself turned into a giant question mark, a place where mysteries waited to mess with us at every step. How was I supposed to find Moraine and Catalina in such a strange environment . I now realized why this place was called the Reaper's Nest , every step I took felt like I was walking towards my doom. But how did Catalina and Moraine find themselves in such an eerie tunnel system one that not even June knew about it how did Catalina- no how did sebrina know about such a place and what was she hoping to achieve by coming here ? I can't even contact her via our mind link and it has been months since I last spoke to her and it was not pretty . As I tracked in the everlasting tunnel the more I kept think about sebrina that eventually even the hispers had stopped and all I could hear was wind ? Wind in an underground tunnel ? That would not be possible unless it's an exit , so I picked up my pace and started running towards the direction of the wind .
Navigating the tunnel, I finally entered a cavern where the wind whispered faint echoes. It felt different – an ancient energy lingered in the air. Luminescent crystals created eerie shadows on the walls. The wind led me to a chasm at the cavern's center, pulsing with an otherworldly force.
Venturing deeper, I discovered what seemed like remnants of an ancient civilization – statues and inscriptions hinting at hidden history. The constant wind guided my path, unveiling more mysteries"escalabus riv." The echoes said. The cavern seemed house creatures adapted to this unique environment, silently observing my every move. Unseen eyes observed my every move and I could feel and hear the small movements around me
As I ventured deep into the chasm the echoes in the wind got louder "Home of the watcher -escalabus rev. A doctor, A Plague, our children turned to abominations that will forever haunt this place. You need to pay!" - The words echoed through the wind, angry wails carrying the weight of tormented spirits.
Feeling spooked by those weird cries and spooky messages, I thought it was best to get out of that cavern. The creepy echoes of the wind kept haunting me as I retraced my steps through the twisty tunnels. Approaching the entrance, a big gust of wind surrounded me.
Suddenly, everything went pitch black, and that heavy feeling disappeared.....
....
In the sky right below the weakening barrier that covered hentesa , sacred preacher Romano stood on a platform made from light his eyes were fixed on the red scaled serpent infront of him , Badu.
" serpent would you mind telling me why you attack my lord's kingdom?" Romano asked not realizing that he was talking to one of the gatekeeper's head
Badu stopped attacking and stared at him for a while before continuing his attack on the barrier , he wanted to give Romano and the rest that they were mindless magical beast that were supposedly sent by someone to attack hentesa. But Romano was a very sharp individual he looked at Badu and asked again this time with a smile on his face " serpent I will ask you again why are you attacking my lord's kingdom? I know that you can hear me , your eyes sell you out , the movements of your eyes suggests that you can hear and understand me so I ask again why are you here ? Which kingdom sent you? Or is it the empire ? Have you magical beast finally decided to come out of that little shell you had enclosed yourself in? " Romano asked his smile still evident , Badu immediately changed his plan on the spot and revealed a beastily smile
" The monkey King sends his regards." He spoke changing his voice to make it unrecognizable to Romano
Romano, a bit surprised by Badu's words, smirks sinisterly. "Well, sorry to say, but you three won't be enough," he responds. Badu, seeming intrigued, challenges him with a simple "Really?" A sense of hidden danger dawns on Romano, feeling an unforeseen power within the serpents.
Without delay, Romano starts chanting and performing intricate hand seals, unleashing ancient magic. Simultaneously, Badu's form begins to glow, absorbing substantial breath, and the cavernous atmosphere quivers with the impending release of power.
As the tension rises, Badu opens his massive mouth, ready to unleash a devastating blast that would obliterate the barrier and anything in its path. The air thickens with magical energy as the showdown between Romano and the serpent reaches its climactic peak.
Finn and Lenard glanced at each other before blinking away from where they were and appearing right before king Amadeus, the royal Guards were about to make a move but king Amadeus quickly recognized Lenard and ordered the guards to stand down
"Lenard, unfortunately, you've appeared at a bad time," King Amadeus explained. Lenard interjected, "That's why I'm here. Come with me." In an instant, Lenard, Finn, and King Amadeus blinked away from the carriages, leaving King Baichun and the rest of the royal guards surprised. However, one guard, his face concealed by a mask, subtly moved through the shadows. Shadows flickered in his eyes like a candle flame in a windy night. As he retreated into the darkness, he left behind an exact copy of himself, an unnoticed enigma amidst the shadows.
As the dust settled, a hidden opening emerged before us, revealing a narrow tunnel ahead. The passage seemed to whisper secrets, inviting two curious souls to embark on another journey into the unknown. The tunnel's embrace felt chilling, as though time had folded back to our first descent.
I glanced at Stephen, noticing a distant look in his eyes. "Are you okay?" I asked with concern. He nodded, a faint smile on his lips, and gestured towards the entrance. "Shall we?" he said. I responded with a nod, and together, we stepped into the mysterious tunnel beneath the hill.
As we entered the tunnel, its narrow walls seemed to twist and turn in strange ways, playing tricks on our senses. The path ahead appeared to shift and sway, as if the very ground beneath us was undulating. It felt like walking through a funhouse maze where every step altered our perspective.
I glanced at Stephen, but his expression mirrored my confusion. The tunnel's eerie atmosphere intensified, with shadows dancing along the walls and ceiling, distorting our perception of space. It was as if the tunnel itself was alive, constantly changing its form to confound and disorient us. We pressed on, our footsteps echoing in the shifting corridors, unsure of what lay ahead in this topsy-turvy maze.
The glowing worms clung to the tunnel's walls, their light creating a magical display. As we went further, the worms defied gravity, crawling on the walls and ceiling, creating a dreamy dance of lights. Their soft glow revealed intricate patterns on the tunnel's surface.
Now and then, droplets of water dripped from above, catching the gentle light of the worms as they fell. The droplets moved slowly, creating a soothing melody as they landed in small puddles below. The water, too, added to the enchanting atmosphere, forming a captivating interplay of light and liquid in this ever-shifting environment.
As we ventured deeper into the tunnel, things took an intriguing turn. The ground started shifting at peculiar angles, defying the usual rules of gravity. Those worm-like creatures, once predictably crawling, now gracefully moved between the walls and ceiling, almost like they were choreographed.
The air thickened with an otherworldly essence, and the surroundings took on a dreamlike quality. Luminescent worms, once a comforting guide, now flickered like a mysterious beacon. The passage seemed to warp in length and width, creating an unpredictable journey into this distorted maze.
Abruptly, we found ourselves in a cavern, and the intriguing distortions persisted. The cavern's dimensions fluctuated, creating an illusion of vastness and confinement simultaneously. It felt as if the tunnel had birthed a space where reality itself was a flexible concept.
The luminescent worms in the cavern emitted an eerie glow, revealing pools of stagnant water. The once still water now rippled with unnatural movements. Shapes slithered beneath the surface, unseen but suggested by the distorted reflections dancing on the water.
Approaching cautiously, the luminescent worms flickered and dimmed, casting elongated shadows that seemed to writhe in tandem with the mysterious movements in the water. The air grew heavier, carrying a sense of foreboding that matched the uncanny spectacle unfolding before us.
"What is happening?" I ask myself but I could not come up with a reasonable answer because everything was strange to me too. I wondered if this type of stuff scared him too but I quickly pushed those thought to the back of my mind and I tracked on .
As we ventured deeper into the seemingly everlasting cavern, an unsettling unease crept over me. The glow from the worms, once comforting, now flickered erratically, casting grotesque shadows along the cavern walls. My eyes darted to Stephen, and horror gripped my heart. His gaze, once vibrant, now held a disturbing emptiness—hollow voids that sent shivers down my spine.
Timothy, standing nearby, underwent a ghastly metamorphosis. His lively features contorted into a ghastly semblance of a corpse. Terror consumed me, and I took a step back, finding myself suddenly outside the tunnel entrance.
When Stephen asked, 'Shall we?' my expression twisted into one of horror. The world seemed to warp around us as the macabre transformation of Stephen unfolded, casting a chilling pallor over the once-familiar scene. Stephen noticed my distress and quickly reassured me that everything would be alright, but my gut told me a different story.
My gut screamed "danger! danger!" But the mission, oh, what was the mission again? I can't believe I've forgotten why we're here. I turned to Stephen, puzzled, and blurted out, "Hey Stephen, why are we here?"
He chuckled, and I swear, his answer added more confusion, "Oh God, June, have you forgotten already? You're the one who suggested coming to the Reaper's Nest to explore and bond." He smiled, and I just nodded, shocked by my own boldness. Did I really ask him out? Well, might as well make the most of it. As we stood there, he extended his hand, waiting for me to grasp it. I did, and with our hands entwined, we entered the tunnel together
"ESCABULUS REV"...
....
Meanwhile, appearing right below the Titanic statue of Hentesa, Lenard, Finn, and King Amadeus all glanced towards the sky. King Amadeus broke the silence, "Speak."
Lenard nodded and told the king the same story he had just shared with Badu Larohua, albeit twisting it here and there. He emphasized the king's death and the gruesome demise of his wife and daughter. Lenard also mentioned how his death had come at the hands of Romano and Baichun, which shocked King Amadeus greatly. The king listened to every detail Lenard spoke, and after Lenard was done, King Amadeus gave him a pat on the shoulder.
"You could have at least shared the details with me first, and then we could have devised a much better plan or even canceled the wedding ceremony. But I understand why you did it. Let's just hope that this is enough to stall destiny," King Amadeus spoke. Lenard chuckled.
"Who said anything about stalling? This is where we change our destiny as a whole. The threads of our destiny are already interwoven, but today we can cut those threads and weave new ones that don't involve death. Right now, you need to do everything I say, exactly as I say it, and maybe we'll come out of this alive. Alright? Now, wait for my signal, both of you," Lenard spoke quickly without explaining his plans to King Amadeus.
Right after they finished speaking, a man clad in night armor appeared from the shadow of the Titanic statue. He had discarded the sword that was supposed to be at his side, but he kept his armor on.
"That's the Destroyer, right?" King Amadeus asked, and Lenard nodded, stepping out.
"I believe you are Apollyon Twyla, the Destroyer woven from a double thread. A myth, a legend. I'm honored to be in your presence, but I have to ask, why are you here?" Lenard inquired to the man in Nesa'ean royal guard armor, but he received no response other than a whisper, "shadowscape: veiled city." Almost instantly, Lenard screamed, "Scapes now!"
"Firescape: Hell," murmured Finn. King Amadeus whispered too, "Waterscape: Kingdom of the Trench."
