Waiting

[Stacy]

Stopping at a part with vines, she took out her short-swords from her hips and started slicing them away. She continued walking and slicing, before coming into a very small open space with the vines circling it. "Wow this is cool! I wonder if-" she didnt finish her sentence. You could hear a small scream as she fell down a hole that had been covered in leaves and branches. It wasnt very deep, but it had a passage through it.

"I-I'm okay!" Stacy laughed. "Hey Kavanah, you should come down here! There's a little underground path!"

[Deleted]

At first he was frightened that she may have been hurt, or worse, but then he heard he voice. "Alright be right down," he said laughing a bit. The hole was too small for him to fit into, but it was dark, he started to walk towards the hole, as soon as his foot touched the darkness he vanished. He had become part of the darkness, he reappeared behind Stacy. His curse covered body and wings lit up the path with a purple light.

[Stacy]

"Wow, cool!" she stared down the path. "Well, let's go!" She walked down the path, grasping her swords in her hands.

[Deleted]

Kavanah was in awe, the path wasn't just a well traveled road, but an actual tunnel with archways and things such as that.

He put his bow away and decided to use his daggers instead. "This is amazing," he said as he looked at the ceiling.

[Stacy]

"Yes, I believe so as well..." Stacy mumbled. "Hey, what's that?" she asked, pointing to one of the tunnels leading to anarea that looked large. It seemed to be light. Not as light as daylight, but as fire, or glistening water.

[Deleted]

"Let's check it out," Kavanah said, he was glad he decided to take time away from his journey to his tribe.

[Stacy]

Stacy nodded, walking a bit faster towards the light. They reached it, and Stacy's eyes went wide and glistened. There was a small body of water in the center of the room, with balls of fire floating on the sides of the walls. Stacy jumped off the ledge they were on, and landed on the sand leading into the water. "This is quite beautiful..." she stated. The water was large enough to swim in, but small enough to just relax in.

[Deleted]

Kavanah followed her into the large area, when he walked in his mouth fell open. It was beautiful, he flew gently down to the sand next to Stacy. "It must be part of the lake," he thought aloud.

[Stacy]

"Probably. There's probably a fissure at the bottom of this water leading to the lake. Only thing keeping it safe is probably the air pressure." She stated. "But wow, this place is magnificent...I'm wondering what are keeping those flames lit though?"

[Deleted]

Kavanah looked over to the flames, they where interesting,"Hmmmm, I am not sure probably some sort of magic, there doesn't seem to be any oils keeping it lit."

[Stacy]

"Nope. Who knows, maybe. But wow, I'm even more glad we went exploring now!" she smiled.

[Deleted]

"Me too," Kavanah agreed. He walked down into the water, it came up to his knees, "The water feels perfect, you should come down and see for yourself." he said to Stacy.

[Stacy]

Stacy nodded, rolling up her pants and walking towards Kavanah. "Wow, you would think it would feel cold, but this is lovely!" She ran her fingers through the water lightly.

[Deleted]

Kavanah noticed a hole in the wall about 6 feet below the water's surface, it was towards the deeper end. "Hey do you see that?" he asked Stacy.

[Stacy]

Stacy squinted her eyes. "No...no...I don't see anything...oh...OH...YEP I see it!" she grinned. "What do you think that is?"

[Deleted]

"I'm not sure, but since this area doesn't seem to have another exit, maybe its another pathway." he suggested the idea, "Can you swim well?"

[Stacy]

"Of course!" She grinned, strapping her swords to her sides to get ready to swim. "I said I'd swim back to town, didn't I? Lead the way!"

[Deleted]

"You're right you did" he laughed.

Kavanah tucked his wings to the side of his body and dove into the water. He swam underneath the opening and emerged on the other side, he saw that there was a small sandy patch and he swam towards it.

[Stacy]

Stacy dived in, following Kavanah. She too spotted the sandy spot and followed Kavanah there.

[Deleted]

When he reached the sand there where three corridors that branched off from the beach. "Which way?"
