Lucius opened his eyes with a sigh, however this dungeon was not like he expected.
Instead of a cave dripping with stalactites or the suffocating darkness he had braced himself for entirely, it was a wide clearing.
Blue sky stretched endlessly above, and a sun shone warmly across the field, its golden rays spilling onto his face.
He squinted against the light, the warmth softening his sharp expression just enough to make him look annoyingly handsome.
Well at least to Vanessa, who averted her gaze, she suddenly felt the urge to kiss those lips.
"It's not really that bad…" he muttered under his breath, almost tempted to admit it felt pleasant.
But before he could enjoy it, the illusion shattered.
The sun blinked out, replaced in an instant by a pale, glowing moon.
The vibrant clearing with its gentle breeze warped into stone walls.
Roots twisted into jagged stalactites.
The warmth vanished, replaced by the cold, damp air of a cavern.
Lucius cursed. "Figures."
