“Marvelous!

Simply exquisite!

I am keeping this!”

The more and more valuables we came across the more excited Jissepi got, continuously claiming everything that had any monetary value

As we got further into this old castle exploring the rooms that were oddly fully furnished,

An eerie feeling of dread loomed over me,

Almost as if the walls itself were watching me.

“Boss”, Eleven says looking unnerved

“We need to find out soon we lost all our supplies when we were attacked and my magic won’t last much longer,

I fear we may die of hunger or thirst”

“We will figure that out once we get to the throne room,” Jissepi says absent mindedly

He’s caught up in his own greed, doesn’t even realize what situation we are in.

Something about this ruin feels off

How did an entire castle end up underground?

Why did whoever live here leave everything behind

As Eleven’s magic gets dimmer, the more I feel a presence lurking in the dark as the shadow that looms over us grows larger soon to envelop us all in darkness.

“I think this it!” Jissepi exclaims in front of massive double doors.

By the looks of it someone boarded them shut.

“Maybe we shouldn’t”, I say feeling an uneasiness coming from behind the room along a buzzing sound,

[Jissepi] “I make the decisions around here,

And I say,

<kicking the door wide open>

We should.”

As the doors burst open light floods the area

The three of us stand in awe at the room before us a massive throne sits at the head of room encrusted with gems,

Above the throne a gold framed portrait of beast looking down at the entire room

Sandstone statues are scattered around the entire room some look like humans some beastmen, they all bear weapon as if defending the throne.

A chandelier hangs over the center room with a blue flame that makes me feel warm just by looking at it.

“You two have done me well,” Jissepi rejoices as he makes his way through the room

Moving cautiously Eleven and I follow closely behind

THUD!

The sound reverberates throughout the room the moment we reach the center

“The door!” Elven yells in dismay

“Trap!” I Yell back

Its already too late,

The motionless statues begin moving.
