Dark Just dark Nothing but dark...
Then light, flickering towards us A lamp of some sort.
I stare up to the ceiling to see a small wood covered gap, only just large enough for me and onyx to fall through, but what is this place?
I clamber out from under onyx, who is checking himself for wounds
The light gets closer to us, I can almost smell the gas from the lamps it must radiate from, then the from the far side of the cavern I see people, 6 of them, all dressed in red.
" Salutations brother "
Onyx, now standing at my side calls out to one of the men in red, his hair a similar shade of black, but stained by blood, as are his clothes and Shoes. He Walks with a sense of importance and meaning, wrapped in an obvious narcissistic streak made obvious In his constant correction of his face and clothing.
"Salutations Onyx, glad to see you decided to DROP by"
The man stands laughing at his joke for a Moment before continuing.
"So Onyx, What brings you to the system on such short notice, you can't just FALL back into my life when ever you please"
The man laughs again as onyx prepares to speak.
"So, Brother. We are in need of safety, our camp was attacked by rebels and they are searching the overhead like dogs for us as we speak"
"And why should I help you?" replies the man
"Because it's your duty for king and country! Look!"
Onyx yanks my arm high into the air, twisting it at an awkward Angle and catching some of my hair in the process.
"well that makes it more, interesting"
