Chapter 2: Decsent into the Mountain Caverns
After a good hour or so of trudging through the desolate landscape, the five predators make it to the steep, cavernous mountain range, the jagged peaks looking like frozen, earthen flames, and the cave entrance riddled with stalagtites and stalagmites, looking like a mouth of a great beast. The predators start to climb up the mountain face, toward the cave wall, gripping the sharp rocks carefully, although they were hardy warriors, the didnt want to take the risk of making thier presence known with even a single drop of thier glowing green blood. The five make it into the cave one by one, Archon making it in first, extending his arm and pulling the others into the cave with him.
All five predators now stand on the cliff entrance of the large cavern, they scan the depth of it with the visors embeded into their face masks, growling and purring as they read the information brought to them. Many different creatures inhabit the cave's depths, most of which seem harmless, but a faint radiation emminates from all of the creatures, effectively making them untouchable. The warriors begin to walk down into the cave, the jagged rocks crackling and crumbling under thier feet, making them growl in frustration, wanting to stay quiet and hidden. Deeper they go, small cave dwelling insectoids crawl all over the cave walls and floor. The deeper they go, the more defensive and aggressive some of the insects get, eventually to the point where Morg slashes at one with his wrist blade.
Continuing down, the jagged floor starts to become a paved path, stone bricks carved into the cave, signs of some sort of primitive civilization, perhaps? The predators look around at thier changing surroundings, the cave walls becoming walls decorated with elegant hyrogliphs, Uenthak approaches one of the walls, eyeing the pictures carefully, seeing the bird-like humanoids carved into the walls, he starts to touch the carvings curiously, finding them stained with what looks to be blood.
He is interupted by Archon, calling him over to the rest of them, who stand in front of some sort of statue. Uenthak walks over and investigates the strange statue with them, it appears to be one of the bird-like humanoids, sitting with his head hanging, holding a glowing egg of some kind. Tarkon reaches for the egg, grabbing it in his immense hand, but unable to pull it free from the statue's grip. At his strongest pull, the statue only seems to tighten its grip, as if it were alive. Tarkon eventually gives up and releases the egg, growling in frustration. Archon, then scans the statue with his visor, after which the statue's eyes start to glow brightly, the predators back away in startlement, and point thier cannons at the statue. the glowing eyes start to project a hologram, the form of one of the bird-like people arises, standing almost as tall as them, after a moment of silence, the hologram starts to speak to the predators in thier own language.
"My friends, please let the relics alone, for they are meant for the chosen one, the one who will rid these caverns of evil, and reclaim it for the our race, the Chozo race. No one but the chozen one is a match for the danger that lies ahead, if you value your lives, leave now, and never return"
The chozo then lowers his head, and the hologram disappears, the statue's eyes fade from thier glow, until nothing is left. The five predators look at each other curiously, some having doubts about thier intentions, except Archon. He simply laughs at the warning, then turns away from it and continues down the path, the others follow him not too soon after. Gorgok catches up with Archon, and warns him not to allow arrogence influence his judgement, Archon scoffs in response and calls him a coward, Gorgok is stopped in his tracks at this derogitory remark, he then shakes his head and continues forth, something gives him the feeling that none of them will make it out of here alive.
