"Hey now, no need to get so aggressive"
Thomas would not fall for this things words again, he takes another jab at it, skimming the side of the creatures mask.
"I am not your enemy"
The masked man disarms Thomas and pushes him to the ground, Cara screams.
"You are just like me"
This stops Thomas for a second, "like me" how so, how could' this creature be just like me. Thomas is intrigued.
"Your real enemy is the king"
This new discovery that there was a king of these unruly lands set Thomas back, for he had seen no signs of modern civilization anywhere.
"King?"
"Yes, the king, Absorol, he lives in the deepest depths."
"Deepest Depths" does this mean that at the bottom of this pit lies a kingdom, that Thomas will have to face down? Cara is unsettled by this thought as well. Suddenly Cara picks up Thomas' spear and stabs the creature in the chest, it let out a shrill noise that made both of them cover their ears, and the masked man scurried away into the darkness of the tall grass that they had found themselves surrounded in, on the first layer of this pit.
