After what felt what felt like years of moving through that glittery cave was finally over facing at a long decend I can see at the distance lights of a city "Guess I can finally see more people" I say to myself looking around the decend not wanting to fly anymore, getting here was really a lot of flying, dangerous flying as those crystals were really sharp and flying too high or too low is a real mistake.
I find a lever that seems to open and elevator and get inside it while it slowly goes down I start humming watching what comes near 'A graveyard?' I think looking at what seemed like graves, walking closer to the city looking at each of the names writed on the graves a familiar sound gets my attention, the sound of a spirit "Oh! I didn't knew I will see one this soon" I say waving at the spirit "Another swor wielder? Where does they come from this time? Are you going to leave corpses across your way? I shouldn't really complain, is people like you that keeps me with business" says the bug with some tired tone "Hmm well I'm trying to avoid most of those dangerous people that tries to attack me so no one gets hurt" he doesn't say nothing and just slowly disappear "Well I don't get anything standing here" I keep walking seeing a well that a will investigate further later.
At the city I notice there is not many people as I thought it would be, only seeing two bugs talking to eachother I gett closer to them "Well hello traveler! What a coincidence to get two bugs here at the same time with the little people we get around these days" an older bug says to me as I look at the other one, he is a rather tall bug, with a friendly face and a bigger mask on his head, he is already smiling at me like if I was a good friend of his "Ah yeah hello there!" He says to me waving happily as I feel my cheeks burn lightly 'Oh Radiance why am I blushing right now? I just meet him... he is kinda cute' I wave back "Sorry that the city isn't as lively as it should be, many have left this place to explore the deepest within that we'll to the fallen kingdom of Hallownest, one by one and none come backs..." The older bug says with a small worried tone at the end "The well over there? Weird I really felt dragged there" the other bug looks at me with wonder on his eyes "Well yes seems like the darkness within the once great fallen kingdom promises things to the travelers, but do be careful, there is some sick air down there stealing people's memories and dreams" I nod "Thank you for the information!" I said cheerfully while I walk to that wel, the bug following right behind me "So you also fell dragged to this place?" I nod at him "It was mostly that I needed to get out from where I was" I look at the chain going all the way down the well, even if I can fly is a great help to hold onto this "I've seen many people going though King's pass to get here but you went from the other side... Have you already explored this place" he says while I was already going down "Not really, I was at a more secluded place from all this" All of the Moth tribe couldn't really go far from Resting grounds, most places where closed and the closer city seemed to be really violent with moths.
Reaching down I look up to him already jumping the last steps down "Resting grounds... Oddly familiar name" we walk looking at some small bugs crawling, they didn't seem dangerous "Oh by the way I haven't really introduced myself! My name is Quirrel, What is yours?" He says kindly looking at me smiling "Oh true! My name is Etra" Quirrel hums "Well pleasure to meet you Y/N" he says and somehow I can see him almost bowing, I chuckle "Same to you" we keep walking with a comfortable silence between us, reaching a peculiar place, Quirrel enters without second thought and I stare at the carvings up the door 'Those mask are... The 3 dreamers' I remember seeing some statues build at resting ground about them. I go behind Quirrel as he states at some big black egg humming 'The mask on his head resembles the Monomon one... Is it really hers?' it took me a time to realise I was staring at him "Am I that handsome?" "WHA- NONO I DINT MEAN- I WASN'T EVEN-!"I blush madly 'Doesnt he even notice his mask is the same engraved in front him?!' he only chuckles at my reaction looking at the black egg again. Making a small talk about the egg we both hear steps approaching to us.
