[h3][color=6bbedf]Karaha the Umbreon[/color][/h3][b][Inner Horutoto Ruins - Lily Tower][/b] [@Holistic] It had been a long evening for Karaha, though it had technically just started a few hours ago. His former traveling companion, Petra, decided that she wanted to explore the Quicksand Caves, as she inferred that it was her birth place. Not that it mattered. Though Karaha had almost gotten his hopes up on having a traveling companion, it was true that what he planned to do was a path best traveled alone. Padding along, it wasn't long until he happened upon the Lily Tower. [color=6bbedf][i]Hopefully this is the right one... otherwise, I'll need to travel across Sarutabaruta...[/i][/color] Looking up, a fairly short tower looked over the steppe; it towered over the treeline, but it wasn't exactly impressive by any means. At least, according to its size. It was constructed with large stones, all stacked up and filed to make what was supposed to resemble a baobab tree. In the distance, a few other towers of similar shape could be seen. Karaha assumed—hoped—they were the Amaryllis Tower and the Dahlia Tower. At the base of the faux tree was a small tunnel. Padding through, he came upon a set of stairs that took him under the earth. Once inside, he was surrounded by ancient looking stones with strange carvings. They likely didn't have meaning, and if they did they were likely some sort of energy conduit. They weren't runes or glyphs seen in ancient languages. Small light sources dotted the walls. Karaha was unsure if it was some sort of energy, or a luminescent fungus. Either way, it appeared to provide a stable, if dim, light source. Once down the long, shallow staircase, the Umbreon reached the bottom. Looking around, it was a rather small, square-room, with small hallways branching off at each of the four corners. At the end of each hallway was a tiny room with strange, alien-like stone orbs situated in them. Not that he could see the orbs in the small rooms, but he had visited the ruins a week previously, and was aware of their existence.
