[color=a187be][b]“It wasn’t always like that…”[/b][/color] Scarlet said, with grim voice as she led the way forward, illuminating the tunnel ahead with the magical glowing bottle.[color=a187be][b]” Before the day the sun vanished along with most of the demons and angels, witched didn’t have to sacrifice their own health. We used to form pacts with demons, who fueled our magic so it doesn’t drain us as it does now, but after the demons and angels vanished, there was simply no one to form pacts with.”[/b][/color] The witch said, throwing a quick glance at the mage that was walking behind her.[color=a187be][b]” And those who knew the few ways to make our magic safer to use… got killed by the witch hunters soon after everyone moved to the underground to live… for most people blamed us since they had the need to blame it on someone… At least in the centuries since then things calmed down a little… now we are only hunted if we move in the cities.”[/b][/color]

[color=a187be][b] “Well… most people have not went outside the known tunnels in their entire lives.”[/b][/color] Scarlet smiled when Annora explained she never really ventured outside the towns herself.[color=a187be][b]” Long ago, I’ve read records of travelers who arrived from the tunnels from towns out there, forgotten just as we are now. There are settlements out there, but how far from us no one really knows.”[/b][/color] She said and threw a curious look at the red mage.

 [color=a187be][b]“Say, do you believe there is a surface? Most people believe it’s only a myth at this point… a once existing world of blue skies and warm sun...”[/b][/color] The witch asked and the suddenly stopped when she saw a strange little mushroom on the wall nearby.[color=a187be][b]” Hey! That’s a green weeping mushroom! If we dry and grind it up, it serves as strong aphrodisiac when consumed! This thing sells for a lot of money~!”[/b][/color] The witch whistled as she quickly pulled a dagger to cut the small shroom from the cave wall.
