Simpleton and his family turn around their heads and search for the surrounding, but they found nothing, except for a trees and leaves that blown away by the wind.
!?
...
"Where you looking at, DOWN HERE!" shouted by angry old woman voice.
They look down on the grounds and found a grumpy looking old woman like as if she gonna hit them with her walking stick. They backed away with a sweaty on their heads and suddenly made dogeza(kneeling directly on the ground and bowing to prostrate oneself while touching one's head to the floor.)
"WE ARE SORRY GRANDMA!" shouted by the trio.
"WHO'S YOUR GRANDMA!"
TUD!
TUD!
TUD!
The old lady whacked their heads with her big sticks that's taller than her.
...
Anyway, they soon realize that their grandma they thought it was who had passed away along time ago. It's just a look alike, the grandma is a half dwarf and gnomes so their height is almost same height of dwarf. She wore lousy gray pointy hat with fur ball on the end. she had a long hair that was dragging on the ground, a long robes that cover her entire body and a aprons with tug of oak leaves.
"Anyway, I'm the guardians of this place, my name is Oakkazan. I live her for very a very long times, this place was once a beautiful and harmony to live her like our race," The old lady pit a smile on her face and fantasies how she live her passed life. She suddenly her face changes with saddened face. The trio get closer to her and gave her hugs. "GET LOST, YOU LOUSY GREEDY MONSTER HUMAN," She wave her hands to break free the trios hugs. "Anyway, it was all come down when sudden changes, my town suddenly swallow up by the grounds and fall in the bottom of the pit. I thought everything was gonna ends along my kinds, but we able to survives on that fall. In the end our town become rabbles and ruins," said Oakkazan. The trio listen intently on the grandma story while the Simpleton's mother also making a dinner for them.
Oakkazan continued "We once a living above the ground but forcefully live below the earth, Back then it was harsh to live under the grounds, we have only limited food resources if we run out we can only hunt for a a giant worm, spider or any creatures that live on the underground. But time, went by our population suddenly decreasingly each day by days. Ether we sick or died from starvation or by the hunting, we all desperate to get out on that hell. But at that time I was young and little bit rebel," she blushed
Simpleton and his dad look at each other and nodded their heads at the same times. 'its getting late, let's go sleep,' thought by the duo.
They been sitting up a campfire without noticing by the grandma or she's just old and don't care about her surrounding.
But she still continued talking while the trio had already laying on the ground and listening to their grandma story(the old lady).
"I was also join in hunting groups or we could our selves DIGGERs, we dig and hunt. By the time I relies, I become the leader of my generation. Even I'm the leader, I still doing what the old folks did in the passed, our lives becoming more accustomed to the undergrounds. We able to build advance tech and accumulated more room to learn about the earth even more the dirt's, rocks, ores and many more we able to identify of each individual and used to our advance equipments..." she suddenly sighed.
"At that final our dig we able to come back in the surface of the land, but, I didn't expect that they would abandoned us. The old folks and me were stayed while the youngster of the next gen where move out somewhere. As time went on, our number getting less and less, other's went to their sons where stayed or some died. Until I'm the one left behind, as for me, I continued digging and maintenance that was left behind our old folks. At that time..." she looked at the sky.
"I was pretty selfish I guess, so I luck them up, is just I don't want them abandoned that we work so hard to get in the surface and move on right away. So they rebelled, the only who support me are less or the old timer, because they know the suffer we got on that time. I guess everyone want to forget the tragedy on that time. So here I am last survivors, but in exchange for this to live longer than the folks..." She grin with a big smile on her wrinkles face.
"I found the weird stone, It was kind of transparent and circular, I dunno know what is it, but i know those young on will regretted that they abandoned us and others. Thanks to that circular thing, the place become livelier than before when I was alone. I created many creatures that was legend I only heard off from old folks. As time more went by, the population multiplied, I was afraid they would also leave like the young on back then. So I sealed the entrance that way no one can escapes. From then on more problem occurred they start fighting each other, so I created a floor to divide them, but it wasn't enough to solve the problem. So I created more and more floors or rooms as wide as can see. The only I know is the place I created for suitable environmental becoming more in wonders. there's mountains, sea, lake, forest, desert with unforgivable hit like your near in the son at night it make frizz to death, snow that's a strong blizzard, volcano that always produced magma and always erupted and scorching hit that make your skin burn..." Old lady gnomes with pointy hot have spark on her eyes. As the trio listened intently to the story of this old lady.
"But one day, someone's broke sealed on the entrance..." She had angry face (`ー´) that you couldn't tell from her wrinkles on her face but can see on her eyes. "They then start killing everyone that I created, who would dare killing the children I made for so long... and... and.." she started dozing off, so Simpleton's mother approach the old lady that was almost a size of eight years old of her mother hands.
"Now now, lets get to sleep great grandma," with that the old lady fall asleep, and we also did.
"Hey mother, father"
"Yes son?"
"Do you believe great grandma story?"
The husband and wife look at each other's for awhile,
"Yes, we do son..." the parents answered, his parents didn't tell him why, because they have embarrassment on their face.
At their prime, some adventure discovered a new dungeon so everyone flocked right away like birds. Without farther do, they start conquests the dungeon. Simpleton parents was also one of them but unable togo further than six floors some where able to passed in the ten floors. They didn't expected that this dungeon is unconquerable, no matter how many guilds send strong adventurer they couldn't conquer it. So everyone went back to town to gathered more forces, but by they time they return, those who was station at the dungeon to guard the entrance was killed, and the dungeon nowhere to be seen. They where puzzled by that time, they thought someone's conquered the dungeon and other said someone use tricks to make illusion the dungeon wasn't there or despaired. As time went by the dungeon was once flocked by adventures was now dead silent the only left is the scenery of this autumn forests.
