The Fall Book One
Dark Segment
Chapter Four
They arrived at the caves hours before dawn; Adrian sighed, wishing the treaty was still in place that would have him free if they didn't reach the caves before sun up-Of courdse, like every other document and rcord, it had been destroyed when the Old World perished and the New World Came to power.
Ver seemed to pic up on his capturees' thought's and said, " I knows how yu fellz Br--Adrian...I mizzes da old laws we hears about too..."
Adrian looked up; it was like Ver was possessed by a whole nother person-One with compassion and a heart beating in their chest.
They entered the cavern's monstrous mouth, adorned by fangs fro various wildlife; and Adrian could've sworn he saw at least a few human teeth, But then again he was getting more paranoid and jumpy by the moment-So it could have been his paranoid delusions. The walls were glinting fiercley from some unknown light force; and the walls were damp and covered with slick mosss.And there was a really gross smell that he just couldn't place. Off in the Distance Adrian could hear water dripping; probably from stalagmites, and the eerie sound of a warmthless fire crackling. Not to mention it had to of been at leasr twenty dgrees colder than the forest-Which was already below freezing in Adrians' thermometer.
Narrow forboding passageway after passageway later they came to another cave within the labrynth of caves they had traveled through so far, but this one was different; A textile oddly resembling giant bat wings covered the entrance, Adrian didn't have much time for admiration though, as a sharp rope-burn inducing tug on his leash pulled him stumbling through the gruesome covering.
Ver bowed to the figure sitting directly in front of them, a single flame gave him a menacing apperance, adorned in leather with many belts and amethyst eyes reflecting light only in the center, seeming to penetrate through Adrians' sooul.
"Guardian Dark, I caught thiz 'un by the river-What shall I do with 'im?", Ver asked, tugging on the rope again, gentlier now though, to indicate who he was talking about. Dark nodded and slowly got up; Belts clanking omninously clinking together.
"Aaa...One of the light ones, I presume?", He asked, not intending an answer and nor did Adrian opt to give him one-Something was amiss, he could feel it. The light and humorous tone was gone when the Guardian of the Darkness spoke again, "Ver...You imbecile! He's got the mark!", He growled, Ver looked perplexed, but only for a moment-For in the next moment an orb of dark energy shot through him, sending him back into the unlit and unseen area of the gave;falling with a sickeningly juicy splat. Adrian now knew what the smell was...Carcasses. Amethyst gaze penetrated his own sea-green eyes, "You...Thought you could trick us and cause our fall...? Guess again. It's unfortunate for you that we no longer have the rules of the Old World you are now our prisoner. Guards! Take it to the dungeon!", Dark growled.
All in a matter of head-spinning seconds Adrian was wisked off to the dungeons.
"This means war!",Dark shouted to the cave cailing, and was promply rewarded with a 'drip' in his face.
