I stand up and look around, then I look at my flyer and think. This flyer is definitely rigged; I’m not using this again. Who were they anyway and what is Exiliosa? Now I have to get there in 5 days, I sigh and continue my way home. Once I arrived at the inn I tend to my bruises from the flower shop, then I look at the flyer again. I see that the flyer no longer is a map of the city, but a map of Vydelygma.
I examine the map and a path appears, it’s a path that starts at Petra Triadas and ends at an enormous lake. I look out my window and watch the sunset, I might be able to make it there in about three days approximately. I gather my supplies, then I put them into my arm bag which I was lucky enough to find lying on the ground in the flower shop.
I go down the stairs and as I walk out of the inn, I catch a glimpse of the beautiful castles combined with the magnificent sunset. I untie the rope that kept my horse in place and put it in my bag, I mount my horse and look at the flyer. It says that I have to go south-west and I put the flyer back into my bag, we then start moving.
As I reached the gate, I see the guy who gave me the flyer and told him that he didn’t need to send someone to kick me to get me to participate the event. He looked at me in confusion, as if he didn’t know anything about the flyer and he just opened the gate. I left Petra Triadas and started to make my way to the lake of Exiliosa, there was no road or path on the ground so I had to do my best to stay on the trail.
Along the way, I passed a village where I gathered more supplies and rested for one day. The next day was the halfway point as I reached what seemed to be an abandoned city, with skyscrapers and all that. As quiet as it was there, I had to camp for the night and so I spent one night there. I decided to explore the city next morning, since I’ve got time on my hands.
As I roamed around the city, I had the strange feeling of something following me. Constantly, I would turn around and check my surroundings to make sure I was alone. I noticed how the elevators and lights of all the buildings still worked, after I noticed that I decided to go to the rooftop of one of the skyscrapers.
Once I was in the elevator I pressed the rooftop and waited, I looked at the led screen which displayed the level in which I was currently at. While I was looking at the screen, it was changing rapidly and randomly. Two, seven, six, three, nineteen. It did that until I reached the rooftop, I presumed that it must be a bug and got out of the elevator.
I looked out of the railings and saw that the entire city changed, I’ve explored everything yet now it all looks so very different. Confused, I started getting an idea as to why this place might be abandoned. I run back to the elevator, but the elevator was no longer there. I look around the rooftop, but I couldn’t find the elevator anywhere.
All that was there was the emergency stairs, I didn’t want to use that since the light in it were broken and flashing. So what if I’m scared of scenes from horror movies? I slowly opened the door to the emergency stairs, I look around and once I built up my confidence I go inside. The red light put my confidence to shame.
As I was going down the stairs, I hear a girl singing and I run down the stairs and exit into the nearest floor. I held my chest since my heart was beating so fast, this is way scarier than being stuck under a fallen watchtower.
