"You realize if he knows that we're totally f*cked, right? Like, bent over without any warning?"
Lyn sighed.
"Just gotta hope for the best, I guess."
English
-
"That's a conclusion and a half." Falk said. "That being said, Spikes seem logical. Very logical." But, as if fate had it out for them, the floor beneath Lyn suddenly let out a [i]Ctch![/i] sound. As she looked underneath her feet, she saw that the edge beneath her had cracked and fractured....
-
Lyn sighed and rolled her shoulder, cracking it. The buckler on her one arm vanished and two ice axes formed, one in each hand. "Looks like I'll find out. Don't wait up!" She purposely stepped off before spinning around and jamming her axes into the rock so she wouldn't fall all the way at a ludicrous speed.
-
That being said, she found her axes slipping and sliding almost immediately. And with that, she fell into the darkness of the pit below... [spoiler]end of chapter for Cthulu[/spoiler] "What the-LYN!" Falk yelled after her as he looked down into the dark.
-
"God damn it! Why wasn't she more careful?!"
-
"I don't know! God...agh!" Falk let out. "She'll...she'll be fine! The girl knows her stuff...she'll figure it out!"
-
"Shouldn't we radio for a team to climb down and try to help her? That was a long fall, she could be injured or worse...."
-
"Right...smart thinking." Falk said as he raised his hand to his ear. "Mining crew! Lyn fell down the cavern! Do you know what I'm talking about?!" [i]"Ya, the massive drop you would have come across when we entered. We'll pick her up, don't worry. Focus on getting those defences down."[/i] Falk nodded as he looked to Zane. "They'll take care of her. But we got to get these defences down now!"
-
"Let's go then, time is running out. Lead the way and il follow."
-
Falk nodded as he went across the edge of the cavern and stepped into an ongoing cave on the other side. Zane made it shortly after and the two ventured down the ice blue halls of the mountain tunnels. They eventually came across what seemed to be a dead end, however. There was no way anywhere to be found. The ice seemed more light and reflected something the men couldn't see.
-
"I sense a hidden wall....Want to to start breaking shit to find it?"
-
Falk slowly blinked. Then turned to Zane. "Yes. Yes I do. This is a great idea." Falk told him genuinely as he drew his pistols from his cloak and began to open fire on the wall in front of him.
-
He formed his gauntlets and dashed up to the wall, bashing it with several heavy strikes.
-
After that, the wall completely shattered in front of the two of them. This revealed a massive cavern in front of them, and the way to go.
-
"Well, that was easy. Shall we be off?"
-
"We shall." Falk said as the two walked ahead past the shattered ice. The room ahead of them was tall and massive. Around them seemed to be a wider slope of stone that curved up the walls to the top. Said stone was covered in ice, so the two would have to watch their footing. "So, I feel like I'm about to jinx this but, I think this is working." Falk told Zane. "We've only had to deal with environmental hazards so far...so it's possible Tywin does not know we're here. Or even planned for us to get here."
-
"Eh I'd still keep your guard up, never know what could be lurking down here."
-
"That's true. I guess-" Suddenly, a small portion of the wall beside Falk crashed open and a pale arm reached out and wrapped around his neck. It pulled him to the wall and bashed his head against it.
-
"You've got to be freaking kidding me!" He drew his buster sword and leapt at the arm, trying to sever it.
-
He lopped through the arm, separating it from its source. A cry came out from the wall as the arm fell to the floor and turned into a snowy powder. Falk coughed from being choked and surprised at the same time. "What the shit was that?!" He asked with bated breath.
-
"My guess? Casper the asshole ghost. Or maybe Frosty the douchebag snowman."
-
Falk chuckled at Zane's cleverness. "Let's just hope its not as witty as you, Zane." Falk told him as he started up the slope.
-
"Eh I'm not worried, we'll just have to keep our eyes out in case that thing strikes again."
-
The two made their way up the slope more now, but that was when the entire cavern suddenly shook. It was almost like an earthquake but not nearly as powerful. It was a tremor, if anything. That being said it was unsettling. Falk looked around as he put his hand up against the solid wall, but he was quick to move it off.
-
"Huh, what do you think caused that? We're pretty far underground so it couldn't have came from above."
-
"No...but I have a feeling that it has to do with-" Suddenly, the ice wall in front of the two shattered completely and a white mist shot out from the hole. It seemed to flow off the slope and down to the ground below. Whatever it was, it was dense. Falk approached the mist and stuck his foot out into it cautiously. Almost immediately he let out a breath of surprise as he recoiled his foot back. "It's cold! Really damn cold!"
