Gross... This is gross. They are always gross in videogames in shows, but being inside of one of these sewers is not something I want to repeat any time soon. Repulsive smells all around, gross growths of plants around and the occasional rat.
"Ew, ew... Ew!" Karina is non-stop complaining, I being the only one that can hear her yell at the nasty things in the water and floors. "I should have told you to leave me at the base!"
"Shut up! You have it easier being the one that doesn't have to smell this place! And if I leave you in the house, I am weaker!"
"Awww... You mean to say you need me?"
My face goes red.
"I mean you are a proper tool! S-shut up!"
In front of us, Aurelia and the old man are walking.
"Are you two sure your friend has not lost a few screws?"
"Amber? She has, but as far as I know, there is actually a spirit living in her sword."
"It is odd seeing it for the first time, I know." Lisa comments.
"I can hear the three of you, you know?" They keep talking about me when I am in front of them!
Needless to say, the whole place is gross and disgusting and I want to get out immediately.
I need to find a spell that washes clothes and gives them a nice lavender aroma.
Ash finally guides us to an entrance in a wall. It looks like the whole place crumbled from outside.
"Through here we will enter a storage room inside of the prison. Once inside, don't make any unnecessary noise or we will have to fight our way out."
He went into the devouring darkness, getting lost from our sights.
Aurelia goes in first, Lisa follows, and I am behind her.
It is kind of cramped, I feel a stone or two from the wall on our way there. My eyes slowly adjust to the total darkness and I can start to see figures in front of me.
It took long enough but now I can see Lisa a bit better.
"Now we have to crouch for a while, watch your heads." Ash says.
I pay attention, especially when I see Lisa get on her knees to move forward and crawl. That is not crouching, you old man!
But I don't complain and just go low and move forward. I just want this part of the trip to get done.
Then I look well forward and... I see a lot of Lisa.
She has been greatly blessed by the trifecta! It is like a mountain that is rising in front of me under a veil of fabric.
"You are staring too much." Karina comments.
Shut up! It is hard not to stare when it is directly in my face!
"Shit! A mouse!" Ash suddenly says. He probably placed his hand on it.
I hear a squeaking noise, then him and Aurelia stopping.
I don't react in time and Lisa stops in front of me.
I felt something soft hit my face before I could register what happened.
"Eeeep!" Lisa yelps when she feels my face.
"What happened?!" Aurelia asks, worried something actually happened.
"Y-you pervert!" She screams and kicks back.
"Ouch!" I only register the sudden pain in my face.
********************************
Moments later, we come out of the hole into a warehouse inside of the jail. I have a bit of blood dripping from my nose that has already dried. Lisa is completely red.
"H-how dare you!" Lisa asks in shame.
"What the hell happened back there?" Aurelia asks, confused.
"I-I don't want to speak about it!" Lisa blurts out red to the point of letting steam escape her ears.
"Y-yeah we are not talking about this..." I say.
"W-we will have a talk later!" Lisa answers.
"I am not surprised you did that, you pervert." Karina comments beside me.
"What does that mean?" I ask her.
"Okay silence, all of you." Ash shushes us.
"Shit, right." I forgot the situation we are in. This is an infiltration job! We need to be silent.
Lisa is giving me a stern look. I will have to apologize with my whole soul later... But I swear it was an accident, dammit!
And I see Karina looking at me like she is judging me.
Ugh... Forget it.
The room is full of boxes, some with holes most likely made by rats who wanted a snack of whatever is inside. I doubt they care enough about the food they give to the prisoners.
The shelves are full of other boxes and bags containing dried food and other stuff. There is not much to say about the room other than I can smell the stuff that is spoiled already and that there is barely any light. At least is not as dark as the cave we just went through
There is only one door and Ash moves there avoiding any noise, like he is another shadow.
We follow him, doing our hardest to not make any more noise than the ons we did to enter.
The old man gets against the door and pushes it, to look out.
"I don't see any guards." He comments.
"How far is Jace?" I ask.
"We are close, we will need to be careful on our way in and out, avoid any form of contact, or we could be overwhelmed."
I can hear Aurelia grunt behind me.
"I hate this..." She mutters, I manage to hear her.
We push out into a hallway with no decoration other than the occasional torch. We see no guards.
Ash is guiding us, making us stop from time to time to let a guard pass by. The whole place is as boring as the other. Each passage seems to access the other important parts of the jail.
Not much happens.
"Okay, we are close. Behind this door is that guy's cell, we should-"
"Agh! Enough of this!" Aurelia screams her lungs out, catching all of us by surprise.
Before Ash could shush her, she moves to the nearest door.
"Alright pieces of shit! Who wants some of me?!" She takes out her scythe and pushes through the door, only to find herself with a small group of soldiers.
She is going to end up killing me.
