Water droplets could be heard nearby. The sound of a small rodent darting the floor filled the air with echoes.

Rain was pouring, and it was misty as a ghost.


Dixen was sitting up in a tree, listening to the howls of the wind. It was a generally nice evening, the rain making its way into the cavern through the hole in the ceiling.

Lysander was plucking at a lyre, singing a quiet song. One, of course, from the play he was trying to make in his free time.

It seemed generally quiet.





DING!

The ding when the elevator was used, it hadn't in a while.

Dixen looked over at the elevator, seeming frustrated, before staring at the doors.

They rustily opened with a creak, and a generally short creature peered out, it was gray with hints of pink from its 3 oval shaped eyes.

The halo above its head, slightly glowed, and it walked out, being very weary of what it was touching.

Zapping could be heard from each step it took, as it creeped away from the elevator as it closed and descended back down to the depths of the catacombs.

It looked over at the elevator and rushed away to the entrance.

Dixen watched and followed.

Before it could leave, Dixen landed on the ground and blocked their path. Dixen's tall figure made the creature fall back, and scurry a few centimeters back.

Dixen: What are you doing here….

The creature looked frightened, scared of what Dixen might do.




DING!

The elevator doors opened.

The creature and Dixen looked over at the doors.

They slowly opened, giving a small creek.

A tall figure, taller than Dixen emerged.

Dixen's eyes widened and the small creature scattered, running past Dixen.

Dixen starred as the figure stood up straight, and was almost as tall as the trees themselves.

Lysander stopped playing and looked over, before getting scared and looking around for Dixen.

"Mother fucker…" Dixen mumbled under her breath.

Dixen quickly found a spot to hide where she wouldn't be spotted, still not quite believing her eyes.

Lysander was so small the tall figure didn't see him. Lysander was paralyzed from fear.

The figure looked around before making himself comfortable, and finding a spot to relax.

Lysander ran to the entrance, and fled. Dixen looked back once more before following.

The figure looked over at the sound of leaves rustling and noticed Dixen.

He gave a low growl before getting up and slowly following.

Dixen was following Lysander through the woods, trying to be generally quiet as they made their way through the fog.

The figure swiftly followed, not being weary of his hooves hitting the leaves.

Dixen quickly realized they were being followed and quickened Lysander and her speed to hopefully find a hiding spot before it went to them.
