After an unknown amount of time, the centauress 'Evita' woke up from her unconscious state once again.
She opened her eyes in a daze, slowly propped up her upper body, and looked around. This seemed to be a small underground cave, with cold and damp walls that had been obviously artificially excavated. Various weird-looking insects crawled through the gaps in the walls, and occasionally dirt slid down from above, making one worry about the danger of collapse at any time.
Many fibrous plant roots dangled from the ceiling, among which the longest one seemed to be a fig tree root. This root stretched from the top of the cave to the ground and continued to penetrate the ground.
Evita had heard that fig trees could grow their roots meters deep into the ground, but she had no idea how far this cave was from the surface.
