(Unedited) Ancient tales beyond the world(Book 1)

chapter twenty one

I worked this beautiful morning before sunrise. I changed into nice cleaner clothes plus the weather up here is rather cold though, I guess that's normal perhaps? Either or I need to focus on dealing with these crops and getting wood from the surrounding woods.

Bringing the sack inside I went to go put some into a fire but when reaching for a log I saw one left. One log? I swear I just got a good few batches yesterday. Eh, I'll just get more later. Walking away I decided to go for a little walk and explore a bit more since I only had 3 days actually why not?

Taking a hike on a trail I took notice; This seems to be here forever though how didn't I see this? I'm sure what surprises were in store. Going off his normal path he strolls through these denser parts not paying any attention, he fails realizing an animal watching from on high.

Stopping in front of this pond. Staring in the water, it appeared clear down. Starting something buried in the sand he stuck his hand into the cold water moving the sand on covering a switch. It's gold housing a dragon in the center surrounded by small-tiny red gems.

Satan tried turning it but no matter how hard he tried it wouldn't budge. Seeing that it's getting late Satan begins walking back grabbing wood along the way. After Satan left it turned on its own opening up the safe tight vault.

Satan is rather uncertain about his findings he decided he'll check back at it tomorrow, till then he just needs to figure out what exactly he stumbled upon the previous night.

Nothing changed except for the chaos about to pursue. As Satan came back inside of his cabin seemed trashed. Books all over the floor, pots and pans lying around, and his bed was flipped. Surprised he'd seen nobody except for himself on the lonely Island up in the sky.

Closing the door he was immediately under the same being seen prior to this evening. "I wasn't finished with you yet!" Snarling, Satan began to feel a pair of hands at his throat. Struggling to breathe Satan kicked off the being before wrestling it.

"What do you want from me?" Grunting, it said, "to destroy you until your birthday and two with the fight back the truth!" Ramming Satan into a wall; the creature resembled him. Getting an idea he grabbed his throat pushing it up against the wall.

"I might've not been in Aiyn's life much but at least I care about my only son!" Giving it everything in him, Satan thrown his dark-self making it vanish. Realizing what his son meant by forgive yourself he just needed to come to terms with letting it go.

Needing to take a second he fully cleaned his entire space. Picking up his lantern he went to conquer his quest to defeat his thoughts once and for all. But needing gear he went to explore fighting any creatures in his path.

Following the map he'd found by his nightstand the first night he arrived here. Still he's unsure on how because he remembers falling asleep then magically waking up in this world.

Coming up ahead I saw the cave mentioned on the back of the map. Standing outside the entrance I could feel the sense of something hidden within its deep hole. Sounds of mothers and bones emulated-buried far below the surface unable to escape its depths.

Stepping in, right away a discrete change in temperature filled the area. It felt rather extremely freezing, wind blew gently through my hair giving a feeling in the atmosphere housing angry, delicate and facing harsh realities.

Dubious on what piles far beyond perception: Satan takes a deep breath ready to move forward with his journey lying ahead. Not looking back so you didn't walk confidently in bravely heading into darkness unbothered. Not long after he discovers which paintings and engravings in the stone walls explains what lurks beneath.

Come across many more like this they all state different things but the one that really caught his attention was the single portrait which something written just beneath it: Any more mortal come thee unprepared for what's in here shall dye a horrible death below King's wrath rage. Above showed engraved pictures depicting him.

Keeping this in mind he further journeys into a tunnel. Scratch marks and crumbled rocks plus bones showed one might actually speak true. Water slowly dropped from the stalactites on the ceiling. Droplets echoed with each drop walking into a puddle.

These and Satan's footsteps were only hearable. Getting to an intersection he found himself indecisive on which way to go. Either going left, middle, right or high middle. Carefully shining his lantern giving him a vague glimpse at each one. Making his final decision he decided to go with the high-middle cavern expanding upwards.

He began climbing up the steep Rocky wall. After a couple of tries and adjustments he was luckily able to reach it. Resting he sat against the wall heavily breathing. As he tries to slow his heart rate down he hears somebody coming. Crawling further into the cavern it becomes clear to him what's happening.

Very cautious he puts his lantern down far back enough not to be known. From there Satan solely crawled to the edge eavesdropping on various words absorbing everything.

Curing below sea salt close to what seemed about thirty-forty creatures exactly like the shadow he fought while back in the cabin. He could hear each word spoken. Meanwhile Satan attempted not to make a sound alerting them of his presence.

Furthermore they continued on talking to another seemingly out of sorts. Are they being controlled? Just then a huge creature appears yelling at them to move on now and get back to searching. Suddenly Satan had the urge to stand up and run but he couldn't, the rocks below were unstable. Solely crawling back a loose Rock broke off causing him to be spotted.
