Excavation
« on: August 25, 2012, 06:00:47 PM »
"Im young but I know what Im doing." Dovu said to his uncle as he got on his horse. "Ill come back. I promise. You know how long I've been waiting for this. You said you wouldnt..."
"You're right. Im sorry." His uncle said stepping back with his head down. "You're parents would be proud."
"See you in a few months. YAW!" He slapped the reins of the horse and it took off.


He tied his horse up to an old wooden fence at the meeting point just outside of the boundaries of Old London. The tops of the buildings intruding out of the ground rose a large distance over head still, despite their incalculable age, maintaining their structural integrity. So it seemed.
"Incredible isn't it?" Dovu said to his horse. "How did they ever build something like this. I wonder how far down it goes...." The horse snorted.
Dovu walked up to the clearly visible boundary that ran around the circumference of the entire city. The ground seemed to suddenly die when it got to a certain point, making a brown ring of dead foliage.
"Hmm."
He sat under a tree sharpening his axe, waiting for the others so they could begin.

After a tiresome horse trip Suzzen was approaching the meeting point, she had left what was left of her tribe one and a half weeks ago. "They are probably happy that I left" she scoffed at herself. Shaking her head and focusing she could see the tops of the old building protruding from the ground as well as the dead foliage. "There has to be answers here I just know it....."

Tieing up her horse she walked the last 50 or so meters she could see that one other person had gathered and was sitting under a dead tree sharpening his axe. She approached and introduced herself "Hello I am Suzzen" She made no visible attempt to hide the marking on her arm as she extended her hand towards him.

"Nice to meet you." He shook her hand observing the markings. "Im Dovu. There will be a couple others joining us."
He decided it put the axe away, then turned over to the buildings.
"My father said it's unholy ground." He said, referring to the dead ring around the entire old city. "Im not much to believe in stuff like that. I just want to learn about those who lived before us...and what happened to them. It must of been thousands of years. Look how much the ground has risen around the structures."

 It had taken him a full month to reach this place, but Ghorlo had finally made it. The meeting point. He could already hear the crows that mostly inhabited the upper parts of the dead cities, smell the metallic scent of the rusty buildings, feel the atmosphere tighten as he approached this dead area. He already hears other beings talking. He smells a Lion, and another Lizard, though of a different race than him. Iguana, probably. They always have this distinct scent. So he wouldn’t be alone on this travel. But still… It could be some kind of evil trap… You never know nowadays… Ghorlo lets go a slight hiss, checks his two swords bound crossed on his back and his two bands of ten small, lethal knifes each at his hips, and he walks towards the talkers.
“Good day. Is this the place for the quest???”, he asked when arrived at the scene.

"Hello there. Yes, you're in the right spot. Im Dovu, and this is Suzzen. We will be starting as soon as the others join us." Dovu noticed the swords and knives on Chorlo's back and waist. "Those are fine pieces of art there...who made them?"

Hearing the foot step approaching, Suzzen turned around flicking some of her lavender hair over her right eye,making sure it was was hidden.  Seeing that it was another reptile she smiled faintly, noticing the blades he was carrying.  "Suzzen a pleasure to meet you".

Ghorlo nods into the general direction the two other travellers.
“Nice to meet you both. My name is Ghorlo, Tribesmen of the Burning Plains, son of Hortyuiok, Chieftain of the Tribe of the Ones. I have come to join you on your expedition to the centre of Old London.” He turns to Dovu. “My blades are forged by my great-grandfather, the First Chieftain after the First Great Reptile War. They are called Life and Dead, showing the double-sided nature of us, Burning Plain Lizards. These throwing knifes are of my own creation.”
He is still somewhat surprised by seeing another Lizard. “It has been a very long time since I saw another of my kind.” He says to Suzzen. “You’re Iguana, aren’t you?”

In the distance Sij spotted the group of beings gathered at the edge of the now extinct city. As he approached he began to notice that there were no humans in the group, he's not even sure if there ARE other humans, let alone how the group will react.

As he approached he steadily prepped himself for a possible battle, he is sure that the group he spotted is the group meant to go into the city, but as well all know well enough, you just don't know these days. Once he reached at about 20 meters away from the group, he stopped and held his shield up, yelling at the group.

"Are you lot the archeologists? To go into the city?"

As he awaited an answer, he quickly noticed the races and looks of the group. Two lizards, one lion. One seems to carry 2 blades, the others he's not so sure. Either way, he's outnumbered. We'll just see how this goes.

Suzzen grinned at Ghorlo. "Why yes I am, and yourself?" She turned her gaze towards somebody approaching. Seeing a shield go up she reached back towards her daggers.


"Are you lot the archeologists? To go into the city?
Hearing his enquiry she relaxed her grip on the dagger and glanced at him.


"Yes please don't be shy". She replied, the first thought in her mind as she said it Hes a human, isnt he? I havent seen one of those before.... Quickly pulling out a torn black cloth she slung it over her arm and shoulder making sure it was well covered.

Sij relaxed as he got his answer and approached the group, as he got within range he looks at the woman who gave him the reply.

"I apologize for taking such an aggressive stance. You can never tell whose who these days."

Extending his hand towards the iguana, he began to speak once more.

"It's good to meet you my friend, are there any others?"

Dovu shook Sij's hand. "Im Dovu, the lead archaeologist. I was unaware there was a human joining us today. This is excellent..." He took a few sniffs. "Youre the first ive ever seen. Apparently your ancestors built this place...perhaps you will be of greater use than I anticipated."
He looked around, and then at the sun which was starting to descend after peaking in the afternoon sky.
"Hmm. One more was supposed to join us here today. A fox I believe. Anyway, hes late. He will catch up with us...lets get moving."
Dovu hopped on his horse.
"The city isnt too far away. Legend has it theres a museum somewhere down there...completely submerged. We will be taking access through the tallest building in the center. There should be stairwells that will take us far underground. From there we try to locate the sewers."
He tugged on the reins making his horse trot forward.
"A museum! Could you imagine what we could learn?!"

"Good to meet you, Dovu. Although my use to you is most likely limited to combat. But we will see soon enough. This is a journey in which we will all learn from and evolve in different ways. Lets just hope we all make it out alive my friend." Sij chuckled as he started on his path with Dovu and the others towards the barren, underground city. The sun finally setting made the air a lot less hot and a lot more durable, however the night could be very cold. He doesn't know this environment well, or even what dwells this place as he only just got here.

           "We should pick up the pace a bit. Night can get real nasty anywhere. I don't know how cold it will get but I can't imagine it won't be warm." Sij had figured the sooner we get in the buildings the better. Night and day won't necessarily matter in there, where there isn't any light anyways.

           "Where are you from, Dovu?" The inquiry was simple small talk. Sij was a little on edge from the awaiting possible dangers. Having a good conversation with anybody can help calm the nerves. Panic is death.

"Im not from this land. I had to cross a channel by boat with my horse. My home is on a very large peninsula to the south east...we call it Italia." Dovu said as they neared the city.
"You know you shouldnt be so nervous." He said to Sij sensing the tone of his voice. "No one is dying on this journey...everything you've heard about this place are ghost stories. People dont come back alive because of inadequate training, not monsters. I assure you...we are very well prepared for this."

"We know not what dangers my lurk this place my friend. It's not only ghosts or spirits that could be lurking this place. There could be a multitude of creatures. Not to mention the stability of the buildings. Being that far underground can cause buildings to collapse, it's a lot of pressure for them to take. Then again these buildings are far superior to ours. You never know. Always remember, the ones going into battle expecting the worst, are also the ones prepared for the worst."

             Although Sij was a bit nervous, he knows that his capabilities in combat are more then enough to get him through pretty much anything. But as he says very often, you just never know. As Sij and the rest near the city he begins to be greatly inspired and rather.. Excited. This is the ultimate challenge for him. If he makes it through this , he will know for sure that he can handle absolutely any situation. His training won't be over, that's for sure, if there is one city underground from this age, there are more, hundreds, even thousands. Each one holding more dangers, more challenges, these will be his new training grounds, he will have seen and fought through things no other man can ever say they have done.

"I will use the best of my abilities in order to protect everybody, we are in this together. I may not know you all, or even trust you all. But you've given me no reason to dislike, and because of that you are all innocent in my eyes. I protect the innocent, and destroy the corrupt." The human chuckles a bit. "Although, you lot seem like you may be able to handle yourselves in combat pretty well. We'll see how this goes. The most important thing is to stay alert. And focus."

"Komodo... That's my race." Ghorlo answered the Suzzens question after a while. The entrance of the human hadn't left him with a lot of time to talk. He had seen humans before, probably tasted one as well, who knows, the banquets at the Burning Plains had often a very wide range of plates. They were just rather rare nowadays. Getting hungry, he flips open one of his pocket and took out a small piece of dried meat. He swallows it whole, letting the flavour wash over him as he walks after the others, waiting for Suzzen's reaction. Komodo's are not the most... appreciated under the Lizards...
