I'd made my mind. I was going to the surface. I couldn't stand to be down here any more. I needed fresh food, clean water, and to escape the desolate hole called Ravenloss, so i started on my way. I went into Mrs. Wabi's house, or shall I say the wreckage of her house, first. I could see the stairs in the rubble. I went down them quickly as they could've collapsed any moment. It was dark and I fumbled to find the door where she kept them. There were four doors and just my luck i found it on the first try. I shoved in the key and yanked open the heavy door. I couldn't beleive my eyes as the room lit up.
Weapons galore. I know i only needed the looms but i couldn't help myself. I reached for a small dagger., no longer than my hand and attached it to my belt. I looked over each and every weapon. Staff's, Sais, Swords, daggers! Everything a person could want! But I decided to grab the looms lest i tempt myself to take more. I looked them over and tried them on. They didn't glow... Now i now you have to focus your energy and learn to use them, and trust me i tried, but to no avail. Even after mother's death her's still glowed, so why couldn't I get these one's to work? I sighed there was no use pondering on things i couldn't yet change. I started for the stairs. They crumbled beneath my feet so i had to hurry. I made my way towards the highest point in Ravenloss. The mausoleum Seven stories tall It was the closest i could get to the surface. I mean i couldn't take the portal Sisera destroyed it. So i climbed, and climbed, and climbed some more until i had reached the top. I dug the grapple hook out of my backpack. I started to hit at the surface over and over. till it broke. The hole started small but i made it bigger and bigger until finally I had made it big enough.
I could see light and it burned, worse than I thought it would. I threw up the grapple hook and latched on the something. I tugged to make sure it was stable and climbed up. When i reached the top i looked around. I was next to a building, and trees. I took it in. The colors were so bright and the place just seemed cheery and hopeful. I smiled and sat on the grass, glad I decided to come up. But my moment with nature didn't last long. A lady came and began to shriek at me. "What are you doing to my Inn? Why did you do this!" She yelled. I was frightened. My first time talking to another human and this is what happens. I was visibly frightened and she noticed. "I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to scare you. It's just your digging a hole next to my Inn and the guests are complaining..." She said softly. "By the way, I'm Serenity the owner of Falconreach's finest and only Inn" She smiled. I struggled for a moment, it had been so long since I had last said a word and for just a second i forgot how to talk. "I'm sorry. I was just trying to reach the above ground..." I said "I don't mean any harm" I added. She gave me an odd and confused look. "The above ground?" She asked.
I searched my head for an answer but before I could answer someone else did for me. "I haven't heard anyone refer to us as the above ground since they wiped out the soul weavers" A man said as he chuckled. "It's not funny!" I yelled. He sighed. "No. It was a tragic thing. I laughed out of sorrow. My dear friend Akilios was a Soul Weaver." He sighed. Anger burrowed inside me. Akilios was my father. "How did you know him? Tell me now!" I demanded. "Why does it matter to you?" He asked. "That's none of your concern. Now tell me how you know him. Are you working with Sisera?" I asked angrily. "I would never work with Sisera and Akilios was my best friend. We grew up together." He said. I scoffed. "Impossible. Non-Soulweavers aren't aloud inside of Ravenloss!" I said angry at this man's lies. "What makes you think I'm not one?" He asked amused with my anger. "I can tell, and your eyes. They don't glow like a Soulweaver and you lack spirit looms." I answered. "How very right you are." He smiled.
"Now tell me how did you know Akilios?" I asked again. He inhaled deeply. "I was once a Soulweaver"
