Ouch! The pair let out as they landed, dust flying up in the air from the impact. Slidding down right behind them but landing on their feet was a skinny, short man that looked old, wrickles on his face with grey hair. however he was light on his feet and agile. As he landed the man twisted and folding his fingers muttering some words under his breath. It was the tunnel now being magically sealed as the man turned to the now standing Kane and Verra, walks past them and motions for them to follow. "Quickly, quickly now" the man says in a raspy voice.
The man lead the way throughout a maze of lefts and rights, all wide dirt tunnle paths lit up by dim torch light. Along the way he introduced himself as Old Greg, and explained that he set the pitfall so they could escape the momsterous worm. Eventually the trio arrived to a town of souls living underground, nothing to big or specail but looked peaceful. Maybe to peaceful as, almost off putting, or creepy. Children were scattered here and there but they played peacefully, without making much noise. Shops and living areas with people scattered about all giving strange looks to Kane and Verra. Verra slide closer to Kane to whisper "This is fucking creepy, everyone is weird" but Old Greg overheard and responded again in a raspy tone "Dont worry just dont get many strangers here".
The group eventually made it to a tavern where the old man was treating everyone to some drinks and food. This beat up old bar was filled with cobwebs, dust, and a few flies swirling around. These flies were biters and everybite would feel like a little zap of electricity followed by a burning sensation. Old Greg explained that they were in a village of tunilers called BoaBoam as Kane slaps a fly on his arm. "I am a locater, I use my magic, go topside and look for supplies, find worthy souls, and gather information" Greg said. "We are a small town and there are others like this one, some above ground as well for all the souls who have accepted their fate of being stuck here" he went on. Kane asked why he chose to save them and Old Greg answered with a crazy old man chuckle saying "I spied on you."
A loud whack came from the door swinging open cutting the laughter and conversation short. A tall lady with extra big boobs, in a long black evening dress and sharpe looking high heals and long black hair to match walked in. Slowly making her way to the table with the trio sitting there, stops and makes a stance that demonstrates authority and power. "Oh noobies, what purrfect timing" she said with a smile highlighting her crimsion red lipstick. She asked a question in a very womanly voice but also deep and oddly entrancing "Why don't I show you around?" While both Verra and Kane both wanted to say no, even sharing conserning looks as if they both wanted out of the situation they both found themselves agreeing at the same time. Old Greg looking relifed as he said "Tha..Thank you Madam Karren" when the lady let him stay and relax.
Now walking around town with who they now knew as the head of the village Madam Karren, the looks from the villagers was different. Unlike the first time when the villagers looked almost angry and worried, now they almost look scared but forced happy. Madam Karren introduced a few resturants, a couple shops, a local market, and even managed to point out a training facility for fighters to practice. All while explaining "No one has earned their shot in 1000 years and now those fuckers wont let anyone into the city" with growing anger. "You see now everyone is preparing, there is a great evil coming, maybe even a war" Madden Karren continued. They walked all throught town seeing a black smith, a school, and a fenced in area where some odd cow like creatures were kept. These cows were orange with a purple horn and two outters but otherwise just like a cow.
As the past all of this Maddam Karren still explained "If no one gets into Central Demon City then no one can complete the challenge so were all lost. All mad!!" She smiled and laughed as went on "I'm leading all my friends in this town to saftey, im a hero, giving them the parfect happy life." She led Verra and Kane to the towest most important monument, a fountain that has a statue of a pig with wings, a smile, and devil like horns. All the water was redish pink, and the air around the statue made evrything feel heavy.
Kane asked nervously while standing at Pig "why do you choose to love undeground?" "Why live underground? my darling, because! We are smart, we are safe, and we have a plan" Madam Karren answered. This time Verra asked "what plan" with a sterness in her voice. With a ladies chuckle Maddam Karren answers "Oh hunny! its not time for you to know quite yet."
As she laughed, Maddam Karren put up her hands, palms out, and a powerful invisilve force pushed the pair backwards into the fountines redish pink water. Kane quickly stood without thinking actived his power again, black flames coming forth, surrounding his hand. He tried to react but started to feel dizzy as his vison started to fade. Before passing out he heard Karren gasp saying "oh wow" and snaping her fingers. With that Kane and Verra were sucked into the fountain as it turned into a portal and they passed out from the water.
