Closed Penmanship is the Key (Drusilla)

Dovinya returns to the Cribellum, this time on business for the temple.

A surreal cavern city inhabited by Symenestra where stones glow and streets are reams of silk. Cocoon like structures hang between stalactites and cascade over limestone flows in organic and eerie arabesques. Without a Symenestra willing to escort you, entrance is impossible.

"Ivak?" He asked as he stopped climbing across the silk road. His eyebrow raised thoughtfully, he craned his neck to look back at her. "Who was he that he needed to be sealed?" What was a volcano for that matter? he wanted to ask as well, but he didn't want to overwhelm her with too many questions.

Deftly turning about were he was, he moved to more properly face her on the silk rope. "A few times, once even when it was so bright out I couldn't even see against the glare.. Don't you get uncomfortable with all that openness above you?"

Penmanship is the Key (Drusilla)

"Ivak? The GOD of Volcanism, Fire, Emotional Upheaval?! The one who caused the Djed Storm?!" Drusilla shook her head, "You guys need to come to the surface once in a while. He desroyed Wind Reach's structures, rained down fire from the sky, and in the midst thanks to Ivak one of my dearest friends died and another's family was killed. Thankfully I only broke my ankle and shoulder. There was so much debris on the ground I decided I'd climb, but the walls were wet and sweating...My fall was inevitable."

Drusilla gave a small smile,"You mean the sky? I love it. Along with the sun. Didn't you feel so warm in it? I love the surface in fact being down here makes me feel sad and cold. I wish the city could return to the surface, I think our race needs to go back up there. Hiding in the dark down here has made our kind weak, when we lived in Taloba birth was easy and so was eating. I think the surface might save our race or at least improve it. But that's just what I think. I feel better now that I've lived up there." She was in good spirits now. Out of the blue she had a question for him. "Have you ever heard of clamming? I get the sense you'd like it."

His lips curled downwards into a scowl at the mention of so much death and destruction, his own mind wondering if such a calamity were to befall here in Kalinor during his time. Such a thing was said to have happened in Kalinad, but that was long ago. "I can see why such a god was imprisoned, would that he stayed so..." He said as he turned back around on the silk rope, moving along once more. Ahead, the temple loomed ever closer, a place he would be more than relieved to reach after this woman's troubling stories. Communion might be just what he needed to ease his fears.

"Clamming you say? Even still, I would rather have rock above me any day! Up there, I feel.. vulnerable" That last word he spat more than said, the very feel of it on his tongue distasteful with its utterance. It also left him feeling more awkward than ever, having said such to her, and suddenly he found himself yearning for solitude. With such in mind, he crossed the last little bit of distance to the temple with haste, relieved to at last be at its' entrance, and without hesitation he descended within, stopping when his feet at last touched the cools stone that surrounded the blood pool.

At the sound of bare feet on stone that almost mirrored his own, he was reminded of his company, and turned on his heel to face her once more. "Alas, you will have to tell me more about this clamming some day, as well as other curiosities of the surface, but for the moment I am due to se Daratur, and you I'm sure might want to check if your family is about. It was pleasant making your acquaintance." He finished with a slight smile, and deep dip of his head before turning around once more to disappear deeper within the confines of the temple to find Daratur.


The End
