Eurysthenes fiddled with the little puzzle for a moment before it simply fell apart in its grip, having been solved. [i]This One[/i] looked down at the jagged coastline, considering the bleakness. The relative normalcy. [i]This One[/i] did not like bleakness, and so something would have to be done. Something interesting, and contrary to what one might expect of a beach. After a moment of contemplation interrupted only by the grinding of gears, it had arrived at a decision. Eurysthenes shifted its body to seven long, spindly legs which held it suspended above the ground, and crossed to the shore in seven long strides. Upon arrival, the shoreline quivered like a lower lip, slowly rising to meet the sky, but giving up before it got any real start. It rose at an angle the whole way around, the highest point of this wall on the shore, the lowest meeting the upward slope of Swahhitte. Within this colossal cliff were gouged tunnels of no design or purpose but to confuse, entrances on the outside aplenty, though only four exits. Some areas high enough to accommodate the likes of gods, others small enough that even the shortest beings would have to crouch. The darkness within each tunnel was so complete that one could see the walls closing in. Tunnels that muddled minds like understanding didn't. Considering the imposing nature of the outside, Eurysthenes decided that it would make the cliffs a little more appealing. A lovely lure to grace each entrance: harbours, desires, flesh, knowledge. No need was left unaccounted for in this true lure. Of course, none of this was real. It was merely an illusion that would last long enough to get the foolish lost. And with that, it was complete, though it lacked a certain touch. An underground maze of tunnels that lured people to their inevitable death was good, but it didn't pop. [i]This One[/i] sighed, it's nonexistent breath misting. Inspiration! Opening its chest, the Mad Ice was revealed. A thick fog hurtled from it, coating the ground with a gaggle. Eurysthenes divided it into sections; hundreds of sections. Each was gifted a soul and a purpose. This purpose was simple. Spread within the maze, and madden those which enter. The fog swooshed into the four exits, never to return. Next, [i]This One[/i] allowed some water into the tunnels, to refresh travelers. This water was filled with invisible parasites which applied torsion to the mind. Little lights who plounced about, going out whenever they were perceived directly. Mouths with legs that scattle about, licking on mineral deposits. Smudges of flesh that coat themselves in acid before hurling themselves at other life forms. All in all, this would be a hell hole. Eurysthenes sat in a joyous contemplation of what would happen to those who would be foolish enough to lose themselves in such a place. It chortled, daintily covering its mouth with the back of its hand. [Hider=Summary] Eury decides that the coast is boring. Makes an underground cave maze Decides underground cave mazes are boring, too Makes the outside pretty Decides it's still boring It's now an underground cave maze that makes you absolutely insane.
