[center][h1]A underground maze, and its squatters[/h1][/center] [center][sub](made for turn 3)[/sub][/center] Jeon wiped his brow and clipped the hammer and chisel he had been using to a little work belt he’d made “Phew. You know, I think maybe the Kitty had a better way of doing this, because stars above, I am beat” he said, sitting himself down to take a rest. He reached for the other thing on his belt, a flask, and took a swig, only to find it empty. He lifted it up to his eye, then up turned it and shook it. A tiny drop of cider dripped out and fell down, down, down into the abyss he was sitting on the edge of, the drip vanishing into the bottomless pit the bridge the god was sitting on crossed over.

Pausing for a few moments, and then hoping to his feet and deciding simply “so I won’t” Then he pulled out a crude [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1020115616901898240/1026214489126871160/unknown.png]map[/url] he’d been drawing as he worked and examined it. The labyrinth of tunnels interspersed with large rectangular chambers and massive perfectly circular ones did not do what he had done justice, for while the scale seemed to show just your typical maze, it was anything but that. No after exploring some of Lekto’s underground, he had concluded that what it was missing was some ancient ruins to explore, and then he had gone completely overboard. Sprawling beneath the darwood was now a massive, sprawling necropolis made of architecture that had started to lose much of the rationality it might have had the further down his booze supply. At this point there was only a bare semblance that the environment had been built with people in mind, architecture sprawling out endlessly for actitectures sake with little rhyme or reason. Staircases of jutting stone steps hung railingless over massive pits, had highly irregular exits, spiraled down into nothing or up to just below the surface. Tunnels bored deep into the earth and stopped for no reason, spiraled in on themselves, suddenly dropped away and then continued on as if nothing had happened. Buildings carved into the tunnel walls, where laid out in ways no sane person would build them, to big, to small, to long, to high ceilinged. The centerpieces of these were the sets of perfectly round rooms that continued within themselves equally perfectly round walled cities within themselves, who’s structures within their walls piled up ontop of eachother till they reached the domed cavern ceilings. Scattered through this labyrinth were mineral treasures. Store rooms holding piles of ores, crystals and other treasures of the earth all neatly laid out for the taking, no mining needed, if you could find them that was. In contrast to this mineral wealth, the labyrinth was dead when it came to life. Jeon had intended to do that next, but, well, in his own words, he was going on break. The only issue was, of course, that even he had no idea where he was. “Bah, this is worthless” he declared, tossing the map aside before pulling his tools out again and announcing to the void “ you know what, one last bit of work it is then” before taking hammer and chisel and carving out a quite important part of a labyrinth: an exit. A few dozen heartbeats later and a decrepit castle burst from the earth in the outskirts of the darkwoods, sending the wildlife running. Its decrepit drawbridge slammed down, and the gor matched out, dusting off his hands. “Ahhh, fresh forest air. Now that’s more like it” he said to the trees, before leaping up into them. It was ever so convenient that Sanctuary towered over everything else, because it made navigating the forest a lot easier. Especially if Sanctuary was your destination. With a gust of wind, Jeon was picked up by his glider and was racing away to raid their brewery for more sweet sweet apple cider. Oa’qeisskesi wandered through the forest of the southeast; she noticed activity around the region via magic; she made sure to mask herself, while wandering but also keeping a bigger eye around for any inconvenience. A dark sun followed her saying “So several deities are around us if our feelings of energy are correct… and we are forced to move slowly and hide ourselves ah how life is we meet only one and forever haunt ourselves.” “Not a good time for philosophy” she replied quickly jumping to the top of a tree to oversee the area around from the tallest place possible her vision soon picked something quickly jumping in its direction. Her shadow whispered to her she gave a nod, going careful in her steps approaching the tower of stone in the distance. As she approached she saw a tower or an abandoned fortress of sorts, when close enough at the gates, she soon stopped looking at the structure. Staring for a moment analysing her senses and feelings she quickly moved in. Her senses soon noticed an entrance to the underground with a quick thought she proceeded down below her eyes being able to see in the dark she traveled through she quickly faced many dead ends before turning back and continuing soon arriving in a ravine of many bridges over what seemed like the void continuing her exploration with a curious mind. She soon found staircases leading to the mass labyrinth below, expending months if not years underground wandering passing through bridges, dead ends being found and places close to the surface. As she counted the seconds once inside as she found herself walking over another bridge the dark sun said “We've been here for years, what are we trying to find?” “well… just something, the place is mostly an empty castle… with this being occasional stuff.” She said pointing to a chest filled with precious ores the dark sun soon said. “A deity built this place that I can guess obviously…” She gave a nod she used most of the time underground to ponder for the most part. Sighing she kneeled on the bridge and gave a large punch to the floor. It barely cracked, indicating fine architecture, it could resist a lot but it was not her goal to break it. Instead, she kept her hand on feeling the echo of the vibrations, she could feel a large structure covering the southeast surrounded by just a few caves she fixed her eyes to bellow in the void beneath the new ravine saying. “A large monumental labyrinth many times the size of a regular castle or fortress with just a few exits.” The dark sun beside her soon said “Oh great a prison for a mortal to go mad.” “But also a hiding spot…” She added thinking for a second. Both stood in silence as the sun soon said “same idea as me?” Oa sighed saying “we both think the same.” She soon looked down, kicking a small rock down. She then said “create an abyssal spawn here…” “With the full layout of the maze in their brains.” He added to her, giving a quick turn she then said “giving us also a place for them to rule and be easily hidden” she quickly stopped as the sun said “and for them to raid the surface…” Oa stopped thinking before saying “Ashvelen asked us not too…” the sun quickly approached saying “True… a truce exists between them and her people… for now… for we know what is the main problem…” She gave a nod with a sigh the room was empty turning to the void she soon jumped, squeezing her hands liquid began to fall faster than her and what seemed like a pond formed at the bottom of the pit as she fell in a tar lake as the lake grown in it there were white eyes glowing through. But soon many others began to appear and as the lake grew until reaching a limit, many hundreds of thousands of eyes could be seen. Emerging from the pond there were several tentacles emerging more roofs hit the soil as they arose they began to wander around they, had tentacles in their head, four legs and three sets of mouths around them their tentacles made up most of their body moving, twisting and twitching Oa soon floated up from the lake as the kin arose once in a bridge she soon shouted “Arise Rirakuri’s.” They soon turned to her and she soon said “This city is yours to rule and govern it now go….” She waved her hand as the creatures started to shapeshift into other horrors or disguise into parts of the wall and to move across the walls into the maze spawning from the spawning pool quickly turning to other areas of the maze she created other spawning pools where more could appear. After done she walked to the closest part to the surface, breaking a hole through the maze leading to the surface after the smoke settled. She sighed seeing the night sky almost made her feel happy she soon said “well… this was an interesting experience.” She soon moved under the cover of darkness and the sun appeared again, soon saying “Down below we also felt more than just the maze…” “Several hundred thousand kilometres of caves I noticed… seems like an interesting point for the future…” She said moving away in the direction of the mountains. “Indeed…” he replied as the sun rose again in the left-out crater howls could be partially heard in the.
