'To hell with this,' you think to yourself (though the vixen can still hear you) as you race toward the ruined pillars, the detritus of leaves and dead brambles crunch beneath your feet. You dart nimbly between the huge pillars, leaping fallen ones with ease, flashing in and out of the few stray beams of sunlight that manage to peek over the highest dense leafy treetops. Night was coming, but would it be to your advantage or not?
The babble of eerie voices could still be heard emanating from the fringe of the forest. You duck under one of the downed pillars, seeking cover. Oddly there is an old staircase to be found under there, inexplicably it rises upwards. As you lean against the banister of the stairs you feel very old stone carvings underneath your touch. The carving suddenly shifts, a door opens beneath you and you fall backwards into darkness.
You hear the door above you automatically smack itself shut as total darkness envelops you. You sit still waiting for Foxy's senses or yours to get a sense of where you are.
Suddenly you hear a rukuss up above you shouts, animals fighting, metal striking against metal over and over again.
Then a long, disturbing silence.
'Young Master, be alert! But, we are not alone.' Foxy thinks and you hear. You tense your muscles.
"Who's there?" You demand to the darkness.
In response, a burst of light fills the room. A frail, wrinkled old human man leans on a staff in front of you. A young tough, flexing his chest muscles and pointing his sword at you stands to the right of the old man. The only person of interest is the beautiful elven maiden on the left her blonde hair reflecting a thousand colors the contours of her subtle flesh contorting a thousand shadows. Her fashion is inexplicable and wondrous and shows off her extreme femininity her vertical hips, her long legs, her expressive hands.
After a moment your ogling of her is interrupted by an unwelcome below from the old man.
"Surprised?!? Don't be! And do not be frightened, I am not like the others, come closer and I will tell you everything you need to know."
