Legends of the Terralands
Episode 4
Risking my life has become a new career of mine. For the past few weeks, I've been traveling far and wide. I discovered new mini settlements, found caves that went deep underground, and have been improving my combat at the battle arena, becoming more skilled than ever. But today, I wanted to take it to the next level. I wanted to raid a temple dungeon I found long ago.
Far away from home in a forest lies a dungeon I had my eyes on for months. It was riddled with moss and vines, creatures creeping in and out of it, and a rumor that lies within the dungeon is that a rich treasure that is really valuable. Knowing that I can teleport home at anytime, I felt confident that I could explore it without a problem.
The first step into the dungeon, and I was already in trouble, the first trap came at me, arrows started shooting from the walls. I ran and rolled through the rest of the trap and investigated the arrows. The tips were seeping with dangerous chemicals, possibly to poison trespassers. From that point, I knew that the treasure is truly valuable if the dungeon is trying to kill you right off the bat.
The temple was a maze that started going underground. From a dark stairway down into hallways that led to rooms that had lava baths, libraries, and creatures I've never seen before. The door to the final room was a lock puzzle where I had to configure the switches to send the right signal to open the door. It took me about 50 minutes, but I finally got the door open. But the treasure was nothing like I've ever seen.
The room was bright as a supernova, and particles were floating everywhere. The light was coming from a portal, it had a light blue hue, almost like the sky, and had hexagonal patterns with blue outlines. The particles in the room surrounded the portal, like leftovers of the portal floating around like useless trash.
I decided to go back home before I went through the portal, I didn't have any food to eat and I needed to heal. At home, I repaired my sword and a used bow from one of the monsters, fed myself, and healed myself. I thought I was ready to go through the portal, but I felt like I couldn't go without the help of Cyan, who might have known the portal ahead of time.
I used the PM and contacted Cyan. He told me the portal would lead to a planet too dangerous for me. I convinced him that I was ready for sure, and he warped to me with his gear as well. Then, we traveled back to the temple, all of the traps were disabled, allowing us to get back to the portal easily. Cyan admired the look of the room and walked through the portal, leaving me to follow.
I dashed through the other side of the portal, only to find a cliff following the portal. Cyan grabbed me just in time and told me to look around. The sights were amazing, a civilization of creatures with lots of fur on them. Cyan spoke in a proud manner: "Welcome to Furtropilis! It's a wonderful community I used to live in." Cyan was ecstatic for some reason, but suddenly, his expression started to change into fear. "Well, "used" because at the time, I was in a relationship with one of the furries." Cyan felt a little nervous, his voice started stuttering" He… well… he's changed…" I couldn't understand what he meant by that, but then, a sudden voice from nowhere yelled at us. "Hello Cyan." A yellow humanoid wolf with a furry blue belly, mane, and ears approached us, with a dark grey humanoid dog with red stripes, threatening horns, and eyes so naturally dark that he could be wearing sunglasses standing right behind him, holding his hand.
