"we have much to do within that city of yours. for now the main thing is getting the people settled in their new home. by the way have you named the city yet. yes sir hughes I have. it's called obsidian city.
"that seems like a great name Mr. blade." he said as he took his leave.
Damon then walked to miss grey informing her that he was ready to move as well while signaling jolly to come over.
being curious the others followed jolly as well. miss grey got the people's attention as she told them it was time to move out as well. Calvus and mumsy walked by her side while spade arranged all of his people to follow from the rear. Levy and spade walked in front of their group along with flash,and Mastiff at their side.
Damon, Jolly, steel,copper and bay were at the front. Steel and copper couldn't stop asking Damon's questions about how and why he was the one to know about the city and had been tasked to take everyone there. with the information sir hughes gave out initially everyone assumed sir hughes knew of a nearby hidden and abandoned city but now they were rethinking it.
getting tired of their questions Damon gave up and asked jolly to fill them in on everything which jolly did. Bay just listened and walked along with them.
sir hughes and his group were still in their sight but not for long as Damon's group turned the opposite direction of them around ten minutes into their travel.
"so you've been living in an entire city underground this entire time, I thought you lived in beast free forest. no I haven't I only recently found the city by mistake. it's a intelligent and interesting city and is operating by some type of crystal and when I touched the crystal I somehow gained control over the city." Damon chimes in respond to steel.
"it was completely a mistake and something I planned to never share, well not so soon anyway but it seems the world sometimes works in mysterious ways because it's mighty convenient I found a home that could house this many people a day before village city is almost completely destroyed."
"yea you are right about that, maybe it was our ancestors watching out for our well being. when my mom was alive she always spoke about the ancestors and founders of village city watching over our people. Bay says."
"you know what bay, that is very possible." Damon says with a smile knowing damn well it had nothing to do with the people of the past.
A while later they arrived at the edge of beast free forest. "so how far is this hidden city. we are already here. Damon says. you mean beast free forest, are you kidding me I didn't stay here to live in the trees. copper says with an unsure face. relax numbnuts, it's underground weren't you listening earlier." steel says while slapping copper behind his head.
"oh yea I forgot, my bad. Damon and jolly continued to walk forward turning here and there until they came to a certain tree. He turned around informing miss grey to inform everyone to hold hands tightly. upon turning around his eyes landed on two people in the crowd as he gave them both a quick look of hatred. these two people were kimbo and jack who quickly looked down at the ground in fear and shame.
"I have something special for you two." Damon thought.
Damon placed one hand on the tree as jolly grabbed onto his shoulder and the rest followed suit. The tree rippled with energy acting as a portal as Damon pushed through entering a long corridor that had crystals we embedded in at the top of them lighting up the walk way. they all continued to walk in amazement and disbelief even miss grey was very surprised as her and calvus walked together.
The adult mongrels were surprised as well but didn't show it, however the kids and some of the teens were walking and rubbing their fingers against the brown marble like stone walls as they went forward.
After forty minutes of walking and turning specific ways they entered a beyond giant cavern that seemed to have illuminating crystals that were much bigger than the ones in the corridors scattered high above and on the sides of the cavern. while in the middle was a large crystalized black dome that couldn't be seen through from the outside looking in.
everyone besides Damon and jolly jaws dropped to the floor in confusion looking at such a thing until Jolly and Damon placed their hands on the dome. a large chunk of it disappeared as they walked inside and instantly everyone gasped looking at the sight in front of them.
After everyone was within the dome the large opening closed.
Damon turned around to face everyone.
"welcome to obsidian city. everyone can look around the city once their homes have been assigned he says while giving jolly the floor to speak. Jolly then took out paper and a writing utensil from his storage pouch. him and Damon had thought of a simple way to assign homes using the system.
the system had a map and 3d image of the entire city and every building could be singled out obtaining certain information like the square footage number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
"I will need everyone to get in a line please, everyone except you two." he says pointing at kimbo and jack who felt their heart drop being singled out so suddenly.
Damon walked up to them both telling them to follow him. "Bay, copper would you mind coming with me and steel I know you don't know of this place but could you help Jolly sort them out please." yea no problem, but what are you gonna do with those two steel quickly stepped in towards Damon and whispers."
"relax Its nothing like that, if so I wouldn't have allowed them to come here and just ended them as soon as I had the opportunity and trust me I've had many chances to." Damon responded.
with that Damon walked into the city along with copper and bay who were walking behind kimbo and jack.
they had been walking very slow which annoyed Damon a lot. they couldn't even look at him. " look Iets get something straight I don't like you mother fuckers and you both know why, you're only alive because of sir hughes. I'm not going to hurt you or anything but if you don't pick up the pace I may change my mind now move." Damon shouted.
"but we're sorry man, yea it wasn't our....shut up I don't care, now move." Damon said aggressively cutting their words short while electricity sparked in his eyes.
Bay and copper silently watched and began moving again as they moved. Damon's threat worked. kimbo and jack had starting walking much faster.
Damon had the cities map in his view on the upper right corner of his eyesight as he zoomed in a certain building that had the word confinement in a very small text. he had knew the city had two places that had cells to hold people in and one of them were on the west side of the city while the other one was beneath his castle but he hadn't been to either one yet.
the one on the west side was actually a very large building. looking at it in 3d format he could see it had five floors and over three hundred confinement cells.
he was also able to read a little information about the cells regarding how many were actively holding someone which was none of them at the moment.
after twenty minutes of walking they came to a big grey building that had multiple windows, but these windows had black crystalized bars on them in a cross formation. upon entering the building just like all the others it was completely empty with all white interior. the area they entered was a spacious lobby that had up to twenty desks and chairs stationed throughout the room. the floor had a mixture of white stone and crystalized black material which Damon knew was shields ability.
He had seen certain buildings including his castle that would have a different color stone but also shields crystalized power within them which he guess was to make those certain buildings stronger since shield claimed his defensive powers were so great.
they entered a door leading to a long corridor filled with small rooms on both sides. inside each room was a toilet and wash area along with a small cot on the floor. when seeing the cells copper,bay, kimbo and jack now understood what was going on.
the rooms had no doors though so they all were a bit confused including Damon who was just about to ask shield why it weren't any doors when he recived a notifications with instructions.
following the instructions Damon placed his hand on the number thirteen that was engraved on the wall next to the room which was the thirteenth room on the first floor.
Ding!
[close confinement door to cell thirteen yes or no] upon seeing the text Damon gestured for kimbo to get in which he did very slowly. "how long do we...CLOSE. before kimbo could finish his question a pure black crystalized wall appeared and the light coming from the small crystal that the cell had on the ceiling shut off surrounding kimbo in complete darkness.
Damon then did the same to jack who he pushed in the cell with a little force thinking about the arrows that punctured his back. but before he closed it, it was a question he wanted to ask himself.
"why did you two choose to stay and not go with sir hughes to the capital. " jack looked up at Damon with sorrowful eyes like an abused dog. " well, be, because our parents are dead and it was no where else for us to go. we don't even know if we have family at the capital or other cities." Jack said.
"hmph well you still made the wrong choice,just like you did when trying to kill me." Close! with that jack cell was closed as well.
Ding!
[your first captives have been confined. ]
[Mental confinement torture has been unlocked.]
[you can now control the cell doors and functions through the system.]
[mental confinement torture is the torture of the mind bringing the captives worst fears into reality while in confinement.]
[warning ⚠️ excessive mental torture can cause permanent brain damage to a prisoner. the recommended time limit for torture is twenty minutes a day. anything longer will result in a complete mental paralysis state within the brain.]
Seeing the notifications Damon had a wide smile on his face as he patted copper and bay on the shoulders walking back down the hall while activating the twenty minute countdown for mental torture on both cells.
