Nothing really happened while we were going to the grandhall so I'll just don't say it.
We arrive in the grand hall entrance and I see immediately the statue, some old guy with a cane ? Maybe the creator of this place.
Then fuck you man !
I look at Mabel who look at the nerd who looks back at us.
" So ?? Now what do we do ?? " I ask the nerd
The nerd shook his head and replace his glass before going to the statue and feeling a bit a its...
What's it call ? Pedestal ? Pedestal.
The nerd goes behind the pedestal of the statue and bring the key to a hole in the stone. Then he twist the key on the hole opening the secret door. The door open, leading to stair going left of the statue, the nerd was the first one to go down, followe by Mabel. I look behind us to see if someone is following us, as I look away to go in I saw something move from the corner of my eye but I don't care since Roki is still on my shoulder and it must be his tails. I go in and close the door behind me. I walk down to the end of the stairs in pure darkness. The stairs are small and I'm force to bend downso much I think my shoudler could touch the ceilling
Fuck I'm going to fall at one point. Wait, does Roki hit his head ?
I try to look behind me to see where he could be and I see that his hanging for his life on my back. I laugh a bit and finish the walk down the stairs. Then as I arrive down the stairs Roki climb up to my shoulder and start to sleep.
Fucking bastard, you have a easy life !
I walk to the nerd and Mabel who look at the tunnel ahead, there is only one path and its fills with horrible smell and some much spiderweb. Even tho the stair case is darker than the night, the rest of the tunnel are actually well light. I look at Mabel and he smile at me.
" Mann Roki looks so cute sleeping on your shoulder " say Mabel
" Yeah whatever " I say
I look at the tunnel ahead and start to walk.
I don't know how long it will take to see the end of the tunnel, but I am sure of what is at the end, freedom and a new life !
The nerd soon follow me and Mabel too. All tree of us walking down this long tunnel. We walk for about ten minute before we think that we should take a rest. We find a few box laying around and use it to sit and rest a bit.
Well guess its just a matter of walking before we are free...
[ Well well ! Seems like you actually doing fine ]
Oh fuck no... why you ?! Why at this moment !?
[ Hey listen, I'm here, well not here but present in your mind to tell you very important things ]
Oh great yes tell me then ! It's not like you were suppose to do it earlier...
[ When you'll be outside, theirs a lot of things you should not do ! ]
Okay like what ?
[ If by pure unluckinest you meet someone wearing a red outfit and when I mean red I mena really red. With a cane and you can't see its face, just don't pay attention to him. He will go away after some time. ]
Okay, is there other people like him ?
[ Yes but not in the empire, but there is a lot of cultist. You can a cultist by simply asking what entities they served or by just waiting a looking at a place of it's body that his not visable but can be at specific moment. When you'll find one, either they tell you who they serve or worship or you take a guess. But at the end know that they will certainly try and make worship the same entities but you can punch them in the face and just leave no problem. Just if the cultist serve a certain persone name Ombrosius, just run ]
Wait isn't Ombrosius a god of something ? Like darkness and chaos ?
[ Not anymore. Now just know that you won't be facing criminal or any kind ]
I know, that's because of the empire.
[ Yeah but then you have the soldier and if you are unlucky, you might be accuse of some crime and then soldier will do things no one wants to know. That's basically a price not to pay ! ]
Yeah but I won't try and get into trouble! I'm not an idiot.
[ Yeah but by not letting yourself drag into the empire army you are already in trouble. So if I were you I would lay low for a couple of month ]
You actually do have a point...
[ Well of course ! And for now I let you wonder of to your destiny ! Bye !! ]
Again he leaves me without any more info. Tho its already a lot, I think.
I jump off the box and pick up Roki who was laying on my legs before and put him on Mabel shoulder. And after that we make our way to the end of the tunnel. After felt like eternity we arrive at some kind of old pipe, and the smell was even more horrible, that pipe was used as the sewer exist before. And because it was the only way out I made my way inside first, there was little space to work with and I think Mabel barely got himself stock twice. For the nerd it was actually not that hard, and Roki was just walking between Mabel and me. As I crawl my way faster because of the smell I could see a bit of light coming from in front of me. I look up and see the outise, I crawl even faster and after that last bit of effort.
" I am outside of this fucking place ! " I say without shouting to much
I look back to see Mabel and the nerd still in the pipe. Roki had already jump and was waiting at my feet to watch the other exist the pipe too.
" So we leave now ? " Mabel ask
" Yeah exactly ! " the nerd say
As the two climb down the sewer they were illuminate by the shinning moon up in the sky, millions of stars shinning above them, I know that because I was looking at it too. Then I look around and say.
" Well now we need to go to Nilgrad ! " I say
They look at me in wonder but they didn't say anything. There was just a moment of silence before Mabel speak up.
" Let's just make a camp fire and sleep for the rest of the night and then tomorow will see where will be going "
" Okay but then let's just fucking not be there anymore " I say
I look at the sewer then at the building far into the distant, I didn't think we walk that far from it. I look at my feet and see some kind of dark brown road. Strange that a pipe lead to a road.
" Well okay let's follow that mody road and find a place to set camp "
" That's actually an old river " say the nerd
" And ? "
" Well that means that there's a chance that if we follow it even more we could find some kind of village " say the nerd
" Whatever you say ! " I say as I pick up Roki and he rest on my shoulder
Then I just start walking down that suppose old river, follow by Mabel and the nerd. I don't know why but I have a feeling of happiness, not from being outside and free but from something else... I don't know what that is but at least I'm not alone in this quest !!
You'll never be Frade. You will never be alone
