The Cave of Deceit
Regret entered a dark and seemingly deserted cave. At the entrance he found an old, dim torch which he immediately set on fire. A great, dark space appeared to his eyes. Suddenly there was a loud squeak of bat groups that immediately flew over his head towards the exit. Regret exploring the cave passsed by countless skeletons. He realized that in addition to the legendary Argos, no one left the Cave of Deceit alive.
Regret had already gone some way when he saw the door at some distance and torches on both sides, as if the place had been marked. The only thing that separated him from the passage was an old and broken bridge over a lake of bright purple acid.
-Well, I have to go, no retreat now
Regret took his steps slowly and very carefully.
Suddenly, a simple, old wooden plank crack just under Regrets foot. Wooden fragments fallen into acid making sound of melting...
Regret made it to the other side of a bridge
Behind the door was a huge, dark room.
Seal of Deceit
-Snif* Snif* What's that smell?
-Gosh! It stinks in here! said Parole.
Langue immediately responde -Regret, something's wrong!
-What do you mean?
Parole - These aren't ordinary monsters...
-What?
Langue - Something is controlling them...
-Controlling them? What's controlling them?
-Regret, Langue started -We got to get out of here! I can sense their spirit wrapped in evill! These aren't monsters, thease are Undeads! At least a few hundred years old. This stench is coming from their rotten corps!
-Well~ I'm just going to step back and let you take care of things... Good luck. said Parole before vanished.
Regret turned around.
-The door is locked! I can't get out!
The undeads began to approach him, with their hooded leader who wielded a large, dark scythe in his hands, his name Pale. Regret quickly looked around the room and noticed the pressure plate and a group of stone blocks.
Regret, full of adrenaline, passed his opponents and put the stone block on the pressure plate. Suddenly a loud sound of working mechanic filled the whole room.
-There's light! Activating the switch turned on the light!
At this point all the undeads began to escape from the light. Regret looked at the last one oponent, this one was hidening in dark hood and was wieldening scythe with a name on it... Pale.
-Isn't he supposed to die in sunlight?! Oh boy, I'm still in trouble.
Regret did not wait a moment, he ran to the hooded, pulled out his sword and looked straight at Pale. The battle begins. Undead versus alive, Regret used techniques he learned from his father, but Pale also had some 'tricks'. But suddenly, Regret felt what he was really fighting with, he felt in himself unheated energy ang gained an great advantage over Pale who, fainted vanished.
Regret noticed a glowing jewel on the column in the center of the room
-So that's the Seal of Deceit?
Parole flew near the jewel -We almost died because of this stupid thing!
-The writings... what do they mean?
-Let me try to decipher it...
Langue came closer
-Langue? What does it say?
Langue fell into a trance
-What's wrong? Too hard for you to decipher? Leave it to me. said Parole.
-The writing... What do they mean?
Parole also fell into trance
-Parole? Langue?
He came closer when the jewel lit up with a bright glow
-What was that? Are you guys OK? Parole! Langue!
Parole - The Whell of Destination...
Langue - ... has started to move...
-You guys acting weird. (Could it be the light that's coming out of the seal? Should I break the Seal? But if legend is true, destroying it could be dangerous. But what with Parole and Langue?) No!
-Parole! Lague!
-Huh? Wha... What?
-You guys are acting really weird. What did the writings say?
-Ahh... nothing... I don't know. I couldn't decipher it.
-What are you talking about? You were staring at it for a while...
-The letters were really~ pretty! That's all.
-...
- Regret... Have you ever heard of a prophecy... 'The Seed of Chaos shall hatch...'?
-Seed of Chaos?
-Yes.
-I don't think so...
-Then what about, 'The Flow of Destiny will bear its fruit...' Have you heard anything like that before?
-Fruit? Flow of Destiny?
-Yeah.
-I've never heard of that either. Why are you asking me this?
-It's nothing. Never mind.
The cave began to shake
-What was that?
-Felt like an earthquake.
-I think the cave is collapsing. said Parole.
A stone shard felt right on Regret's head
-Arrrggg!
Outside The Cave of Deceit
Langue tried her best to lift Regret off the ground.
-Damn, he's heavy! What just happened back there? Regret, wake up!
