The Boy From The Stars

Return to Old Cavindale

We made our way to Old Cavindale. The storm has cleared last time we've been here. Alexander walked up to a door that was in the corner near the entrance to where Nocus's tower was.

"Here, this is the entrance below." He pushed open the door. It was near pitch black down below.

"Look." Alexander said while pointing at the steps.

Footprints. It doesn't look like the shape of any animal or human.

"They definitely went down here." Alexander said as he started walking down the steps.

"Watch your step." He said.

We slowly went down the steps while clinging to the wall. We finally made it to the bottom of the stairs. There was a room with a door.

"Through here." He said while pushing the door open. There was a long walkway beyond the door. You could see the inside of the cavern. The courtyard and everything. We began walking through it.

"So this has been under us the entire time?" Banshee asked.

"Indeed. There's not much left. Especially after the Golden Order fell."

"Golden Order?" I said confused.

"They owned Cavindale prior to the War of God's. They were horrible people. Slavers."

"They sound nasty." Banshee said.

"They were."

We came to the end of the hallway. A fork in the hallway.

"Seems like we will have to go our separate ways for now. Cover more ground. This place is big."

"I'll go right." I said.

"Alright. We will meet back here unless our paths cross."

I nodded. He went left. Me and Banshee went right. We went into a small room that had tons of pictures of different people. The last photo had a claw mark over the person's face. A long table was in the middle of the room. It seemed to be where the nobles ate.

"This place is making me hungry." Banshee said.

"You're always hungry." I chuckled.

We eventually saw a courtyard when we looked down from the window. A large statue of a dragon stood there. We could make out some movement of a large thing down there as well.

"Look! Do you think that's that Abyss Knight?" Banshee asked.

"We could find out."

"You don't have a weapon still. How are we supposed to fight it?"

"Magic."

"Oh right." She realized.

We eventually made our way down to a door that lead to the courtyard. The large thing we saw wore a cloak over it's large body. The courtyard looked like a mess and was overgrown. I was shocked that there was grass down here. I could hear the thing mumbling in some foreign language.

"Excuse me? Are you an Abyss Knight?" Banshee asked.

"What type of question is that? You don't just ask someone that!" I whispered to Banshee.

The thing turned around slowly. I saw it's face. It looked to be a young boy and his hair was long and golden. He wore a broken crown.

"Who're you?" It asked.

"Uh, a few travelers. We just stumbled here." I said nervously.

"Liar." His voice sounded disgusting and slimy.
