Acanthus 0 Posted October 11, 2024 Author #21 Share Posted October 11, 2024 (edited) “We’ve spent the last two hours digging stone out with our bare hands.” Had it really been two hours? The darkness made it hard for her to keep track. “And now you’re just walling up again?” “Got it in one. Sorry to bother you, Haru. It won’t happen again.” She slammed into the wall, pushing with all her might. “Edict, you stupid boy.” The wall was starting to loosen; she pushed even harder. The sounds coming from behind the wall indicated that Edict was still shoring up his defenses. “Let’s talk later. Thanks for being a good friend, Haru.” With a final shove, she pushed the stones over, and tumbled out of the labyrinth walls precisely where she had fallen through the floor in the first place. Edict was nowhere to be seen. Transit Roll 235288 | CD 10 LD 16. Success! (5/5) Acanthus | 468/780 Edited October 11, 2024 by Acanthus Link to post Share on other sites
Acanthus 0 Posted October 11, 2024 Author #22 Share Posted October 11, 2024 The faint glow of the quest acceptance box was burned into air where it had been. She wondered how much time had passed since she fell through. Some part of Acanthus considered yelling out for Edict. But another part of her wondered what the point was. He seemed so completely averse to being saved. The moment she had asked him about his final words, he’d taken off. Acanthus kicked herself. She *knew* what the idiot had said, and she had picked the wrong time to confirm it. It’s obvious that he would have preferred death to an honest conversation about his feelings, and she should have recognized that. Of course, all of this assumed that she had even been talking to the real Edict in the first place. Whatever it was, it was convincing. But still, the question loomed: was he even alive? The Monument was waiting. Chasing after the chalk outline, she followed the hope of Edict back into the dark. Link to post Share on other sites
