Chapter 2 - Under Attack Tunnel

She wakes up and finds herself lying on the ground. She gets up and looks around. She didn't know she had fallen asleep in the library. There are no signs of Aithena, but she hopes that Aithena is alright.

She heads out the door and into the day. It is now nighttime, so the sky is dark. She sees a ๐’‡๐’Š๐’ˆ๐’–๐’“๐’† walking down the road. The figure has its back toward her. They are wearing a cape and wearing a hood. The figure looks like a ๐’‘๐’๐’˜๐’†๐’“๐’‡๐’–๐’ ๐’˜๐’Š๐’›๐’‚๐’“๐’…. She wonders who it is. She can't let this person walk by without saying something, but what should she do? She calls out โž๐„๐ฑ๐œ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐ฆ๐ž, ๐ฌ๐ข๐ซ/๐ฆ๐š๐ฆ. ๐€๐ซ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐š ๐ฐ๐ข๐ณ๐š๐ซ๐โž

The figure turns around and looks at her. They look surprised that she is awake.

She goes back into the library and lies down. She falls asleep and dreams about Aithena. In the morning, She wakes up and sees that Ayden is already gone. You head back out to the road.

There is a sign that says โž๐‘ป๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ฏ๐’Š๐’˜๐’‚๐’š ๐’•๐’ ๐‘บ๐’†๐’“๐’๐’๐’โž. The sign looks old, but the buildings on either side of the road are modern.

She starts walking down the road. The buildings get smaller as she walks further and further away from the city. The buildings start to look run down. The road itself is gravel and dirt, and the sidewalks are mostly broken up.

There are very few cars or people around. The road itself seems to go on for miles and just empty out into nothing.

About halfway down the road, She comes upon a very curious sight. There is a pile of stones about 10 feet high. When She gets closer, She notices that there is a tunnel that was carved under the stones. There is a sign that reads โž๐—จ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—น. ๐—ช๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฏ๐˜† ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ.โž

She looks at the tunnel and wonders what's in there. She opens the door to the tunnel and walks in. She notices immediately that it is very dark, and that she can't see anything.

She takes out her flashlight and turns it on, but still, nothing is visible. She shines the light around and sees that the tunnel is made of sandstone and that it is well-kept.

There is a door on the other side. She decides to go through the door and into the next chamber. There is another sandstone wall in front of her, and she can see light coming from the other side.

She shines her flashlight over the wall and sees that it is covered with little pieces of paper. There are at least a few dozen pieces of paper, and they are scattered over the area. They look like they are stuck to the wall somehow.

She walks up to the wall and picks up a piece of paper. It is covered with writing. She reads it and sees that it is an old letter. She notices the letter is addressed to someone named Robert. The letter is from his mom, and she writes about how much she misses him and hopes that he is doing well in school. ๐ˆ๐ญ ๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ๐จ ๐š๐ฌ๐ค๐ฌ ๐‘๐จ๐›๐ž๐ซ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ค๐ž๐ž๐ฉ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฅ๐ž๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ก๐ข๐๐๐ž๐ง, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐š๐ง๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ž.

The letter seems very odd, but she decides to save it for later.

She continues walking along the tunnel. The walls are covered with sand and rocks. It is dark, but not completely dark. She thinks she can make out some type of pathway through the middle of the tunnel.

There are no lights, but she has her flashlight. After walking for a while, She begins to notice a horrible smell in the air. It smells like burning hair and something rotten.

She tries to shake off the smell, but it is very strong. The smell gets stronger and stronger the further she walks.

๐’๐ฎ๐๐๐ž๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐ž๐ž๐ฌ ๐š ๐ฆ๐š๐ง ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ง๐ง๐ž๐ฅ. He seems very out of it. He has long, dirty blond hair, and his skin is very pale. He is missing his right eye. ๐‘ฐ๐’ ๐’‡๐’‚๐’„๐’•, ๐’‰๐’† ๐’‰๐’‚๐’” ๐’๐’ ๐’†๐’š๐’†๐’” ๐’‚๐’• ๐’‚๐’๐’. He also has a large burn mark on his right shoulder.

He holds a long piece of metal in his hands. It looks like it might be a machete. She decides to run and warn the people in the chamber.

She runs right for the man. He swings his machete at her. She tries to dodge, but she hits her head on the sandstone wall.
