Sealed - A Lavartus Chronicle

Chapter 15 - Orcus City

The ground had water streaming beside the dry pathway made of gravel they were on. There was an archway which Hunter guided them into.

The roof of the tunnel was no so high, they couldn't believe they were only underground. They knew the well wasn't that deep. 

How was this possible? Ivy asked herself under her breathe. There were tinny cottages and small taverns with orange light in through the windows. The buildings were all attatched together in one big long street but cut off in the middle to enter another.

It smelt awefully nice considering they were in the sewers, or right next to them anyway. 

The town looked old, like it was in the 18th century.There was nothing in the books about the Fugio, or the underground city.

Nobody was outside and Ivy couldn't hear anybody.

"There the the blacksmiths, there's the scroll keeper,"

Ivy interuppted his list, "The scroll keeper?"

Hunter rolled his eyes at Ivy's comment, "He keeps the acient scrolls and books. Like a library except there are only books on the Lavartus kind and history and stuff"

It was just like her library at home. Hers was deep underground too. She couldn't help but think if they might be linked.

Hunter no longer needed the fire flies so he asked them to leave, in latin. Ivy had never tried to learn latin, but she knew she wanted to, very much. It was such a romantic language.

She felt someone's arm around her. She looked over to see Wade with her. "This is so weird" he whispered into her hair.

Hunter walked down the doad, kicking a cola can on the way. Did they have cola in faerie town? Ivy started to think of tinkerbell with a caffiene buzz.

In Wade's hand was the crystal he took from Hunter's cabin. That's what Hunter referred it as, the cabin. The crystal was more of a round shape and it looked more like a greean amulet then a crystal.

"So this is a city? It aint big enough to be a city" Wade commented, looking round at the place.

Wade was right, it wasn't big enough to be a city. It was like a town then a city, but who knew, maybe there was another tunnel leading to vampire world.

"It isn't. It's the ruins of a city. We choose to be respectful to our ancestors by rebuilding there legacy from what is still left, which I'm very sorry isn't big enough for you"

Ivy could for some reason feel tension between them. 

"So the exit?" Wade pretended to yawn as he spoke.

"It's behind the mediocris ad chorea. Faerie-" Hunter stopped speaking when he heard Wade laugh behind rudely, even though he was fasinated.

Hunter opened an almost broken wooden door. "You want to get to get out of here? Lets go get the gatekeeper" Hunter suggesting.

Suddenly loud music escaped from the building as Hunter opened the door. There was a large bald man wearing a black uniform, who opened another door which was full of grafitti writing on it.

Insinde the building were neon light moving everywhere. The room was full of sweaty bodies grinding together in intamet dance. There were men tending a bar making coctails juggling bottles and tending a neon metal bar.

Even though everybody looked normal, they had a sort of sparkle to them. They then realised they were in faerie nightclub.

Several of the faeries checked out Ivy. Some were biting there lip flirtatiously at them.
