"You know, you know!" She said. Alex looked back at Lyn in confusion as the lady walked the two to the end of the village, where they saw a massive cave that went into the mountain.
"In there! In there!" She said.
"Lady, what are you talking about?!" Alex asked with a hint of impatience.

[i]Lyn places a hand on Alex's shoulder to try and calm him down before glancing over at the woman.[/i] "Please, tell us what you mean. You're being extremely vague."
-
"You don't know?" The old lady asked. "God sent you to us. To help us! To open the mine! Demons now in mine. They control it. Mine have no more. But we can not explore mine with demons in mine."
-
[i]Lyn nervously laughs and scratches the back of her neck.[/i] "Well, she's not completely wrong with what she just said. At least one of us is sent by a god."
-
Alex looked to Lyn with a raised eyebrow. "...We're talking about this later." He said before turning his head to the elder. "So what do you want us to do lady?" He asked. "Purge demons. Save us!" She clarified.
-
[i]Lyn shrugs and starts to walk into the mineshaft.[/i] "We'll probably never talk about it. Now, lets go kill some demons. That's my speciality."
-
"...RIIIIIIGHT. Got it." Alex said as he responded to Lyn. He nodded to the elder before following the girl towards the mineshaft. It was dark inside, and they couldn't see further in from where they stood.
-
She stops and looks around for something to give her light. "Did you happen to bring something to light the place up?"
-
"Not really...you wouldn't happen to know any magic would you?" He asked
-
[i]Lyn sighs and shakes her head.[/i] "I've got a little magic, but I suck with it and can't make a light."
-
"Can you make fire?"
-
"Nope. I'm limited, Alex. I'm sorry, but we need to find another way."
-
"....I have an idea. Grab your blades." He said as he drew his Infinity blade. It was almost as big as himself, and it was two feet wide. It had two blades which crossed over each other to form an infinity shape, both shades of silver.
-
[i]Lyn pulls out a long katana with intricate, golden designs from her left scabbard.[/i] "What for?"
-
Alex tossed her a small knife. "Make sparks onto my blade. Won't explain just do it!"
-
"Sparks? How about this?" [i]Lyn swings her sword at Alex's chest and at about half way her blade is surrounded by electricity.[/i]
-
"Oh Jesus Christ!" He yelled as he raised his blade to block the katana. Suddenly his sword became imbued with electric energy that glowed a bright yellow as it sparked. "Oh! That worked! How the hell did you know I was gunna block that?" He asked.
-
"I didn't. Come on, lets go. I'll apologize later." [i]She starts walking into the dark shaft.[/i]
-
"Wait what?!" He asked rhetorically as he followed her. The mines were narrow and dark, and the electricity from the blade have the two a small circle of yellow light around them. Drops of liquid could be heard dripping from the ceiling as the two continued into the dark.... "Please don't be a jump scare, please don't be a jump scare...."
-
[i]Lyn nods in agreement and sticks close to Alex.[/i] "Y-Yeah, that wouldn't be pleasant."
-
"Like next thing you know the low creepy music is going to start." He said with a shiver. [spoiler]https://youtube.com/watch?v=iqNVIpVpT60[/spoiler] Then, the two began to hear voices. They were quiet and sounded like they were in the distance.
-
[i]Lyn hugs Alex tightly and starts to shake.[/i] "This was a bad idea..."
-
He looked down on her as he kept moving. "Ya well what else is new?" He said more to himself. He raised his blade around to illuminate the area, when he saw Something. "Wait...what is that?" He asked as he moved his blade closer to the subject in question. This revealed, a corpse. It was a month old and the stench reeked. It had three lacerations going from its shoulder to hip, all proportionally placed. Dried blood was all around him and his eyes were lifeless but filled with fear. "Oh god..."
-
[i]She looks away and buries her face in Alex's shoulder.[/i] "Oh my....Please, d-don't tell me we're going to keep going."
-
"And let more people die? No way in hell." He said. "Let me check out the body. Could let us know what we're up against." Alex knelt down in front of the corpse. He pried his fingers into the cuts and checked the body for any clues. "From far away it looks like an animal, but the cuts are way too damn clean. This guy was cut up by steel, rusty steel. You can see that through the middle of the cuts where the rust broke off. It was painful but he was killed nearly instantly. Also the cuts didn't actually go too deep, but he still bled out in seconds." He stood up after his deduction. "No creature or demon did this. This had to be done by a person. That or someone who's possessed."
-
[i]Lyn sighs and keeps her eyes closed with one hand on the hilt of her blade.[/i] "I hate the dark."
