Chapter 281: Can I Offer You Some Violence in this Trying Time?
[Luna POV]
Almost a week has passed since we left the crystal city and not much has really happened. We did run into some monsters here and there, but they were dealt with instantly, so they were no real trouble. We were currently walking through a tunnel that was a bit darker than the ones weve been through so far.
Nya. Something is strange nya. (Mio)
Yeah. These lamps shouldnt be this dim, and this tunnel seems less taken care of than normal. Did we take a wrong turn somewhere and enter an old one or something? (Skadi)
We shouldnt have. Luna is many things, but she hasnt ever led us in the wrong direction before. (Velvet)
Um, what was that first part all about? I mean, I completely agree, but still. As for your question, Im following the map every step. I wouldnt lead us in the wrong direction without good reason and consulting with the rest of you first. (Luna)
We stepped into a small cavern as we discussed the surroundings. The entire cavern looked eerie with the dim light of the magic torch-lanterns lengthening the shadows. Holes covered the ground and looking into them was like looking into an abyss of absolute darkness.
This- (Soleil)
Shhh. Hold that thought, Soleil. (Luna)
While I wasnt completely sure, I thought I heard something coming from one of the holes. I walked near it, closed my eyes, and focused on my hearing to see if I wasnt going crazy. While tuning out the sounds of myself and the others breathing and other ambient cave noises until eventually I could make out the faint sound of drumming.
I hear drums. Drums in the deep. (Luna)
The drumming got louder and then I felt the ground shaking underneath me. Then came cracking sounds and the ground underneath me and the others started crumbling.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
Is this the part where we choose to run or fall in? (Ophidia)
Yep. And Im partial to falling in so we can see where that drumming is coming from. (Luna)
That sounds fun nya. (Mio)
As I was the one closest to the hole, I was the first one to fall in. I turned to the others and saluted.
See you guys at the bottom. (Luna)
I then fell backwards into the darkness. As the dim light receded to a dot above me, I turned around and stared down.
{Luna, while we both know nothing can really hurt you down here, this is still reckless.}
I know, but Im starved for entertainment at the moment and the stress is piling up again. Im hoping that at the end of this plummet will be something that will let me relieve some of this stress.
Well, we can explore that later, Im going to take a bath with Tamamo under the moonlight now, so Ill be back. Feel free to start exploring without me. (Luna)
I then teleported to the hot spring on the mountain of my pirate island, set up a domain, and dove into Tamamos chest as she appeared in the water in front of me.
Chaos Realm:
Order: Payto, get ready, she's about to show up.
Done.
Crisis: ORDER! I HAVE ARRIVED AND I BRING MY CHILD WITH ME!
Order: NOW!
*Snaps fingers*
Crisis: Oh? Why am I tied up now? And when did you start holding my daughter?
Order: You will be let go when you calm down. I get that you're happy, but that is no reason to yell at the top of your lungs. You almost woke Astraea up.
Crisis: Ah. I'm actually sorry about that. If I knew she was asleep, I would have yelled after she woke up.
That's the part where you say you wouldn't yell at all.
Crisis: And you should know me enough by now to know that's not how I work.
That is also true.
Order: Now...Payto, what's happening right now?
...
Crisis: Well, this seems like some fun things are about to happen. Ah, if only I had popcorn right now.
.........*Sigh*What is it with this century and Fated Ones showing up? And why has MY daughter's Fated One already shown up?
Order:...*Sigh*
Crisis: Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. To think my and Order's daughters would be fated to be together. Talk about luck. I can't wait to tell Mordred. Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
