《The Scarlet Knight》Chapter Three: In The Dark
Advertisement
The hallway seemed to stretch forever, and the more she walked the worse Caitlin felt. She couldn't stop thinking about her sister, about her family. She desperately wanted answers, and she desperately wanted to get out of this dungeon.
As Caitlin continued down the hallway a box appeared before her.
Quest: Avoid the Traps
Caitlin blinked, she looked around and placed a hand on the wall. When she didn't see any traps she became confused, she thought the quest was wrong and took two more steps forward. When she felt the floor move and heard a click her whole body tensed. The ceiling shifted back and some stones hit the floor, she watched as a large boulder landed in front of her. Caitlin was frozen: Until the floor moved under her, it felt like it was tilting backward. This isn't possible. She thought as the boulder slowly began rolling towards her. It took up the whole hallway, there was no getting around it.
As the boulder began picking up speed Caitlin felt a small nudge, whatever it was knocked her off of the plate. I have to run. Caitlin thought before turning around and running back down the hallway, she kept hearing clicks, it felt like every step she took set off another trap. As she heard two more bounders hit the ground behind her she tried to speed up. Once her body felt like it was going to give up she began to slow down. On her last step, she heard a louder click and the floor opened under her. "No-" Caitlin snapped as her body was brought down. She heard the floor close above her and felt her body go into a free fall.
Caitlin's body hit the ground with a thud and a small splash. Her arm was aching and her head was throbbing. Next time I will have to stick to the wall. She thought as she curled up. She didn't want to move, open her eyes, or even think. The water felt nice, but Caitlin had her moment of peace interrupted by a small glowing box.

Quest: Avoid the traps: Failed
Caitlin rolled her eyes and closed them again. Screw your quest! She thought as she placed her hand in the puddle. As she laid there thinking about the events that have happened to her thus far she heard faint splashing from somewhere in the room she landed in.
Caitlin's eyes shot open and she reached into her bag for her short sword. As she slid it out she shook her hands clean, her potions broke when she hit the ground. Just my luck. Caitlin scanned the room, for the most part, it was too dark to see clearly.
"Hello?" Caitlin called into the darkness, after she spoke she was sure she had made a mistake. Whatever was causing the splashing had stopped moving.
Caitlin took a step forward before taking two steps back. A metallic object swung past her face and back into the darkness. She held her breath for a second before stumbling again. I have to get out of here.
Without taking any more time to think, Caitlin turned and ran into the darkness. She was hoping she didn't make a mistake and run into a wall. As she ran she could hear more splashing from behind her. There was definitely something in the room with her.
-
There is no way I'm making it out of here. Caitlin thought as she kept moving forward. With each passing second her mind became more scattered.
With a gasp Caitlin lost her footing and fell forward. She felt her body be thrusted downward, her shoulder hit something hard and her body toppled over itself. In the dark, Caitlin felt like she was flying for a couple of seconds before her body came crashing down to remind her what was happening. She had forgotten about her weapon and for a couple of moments she had forgotten about her sister. The only thing she could think about was the fear that had overtaken her mind.

As her body hit the ground for the last time Caitlin let out a sharp squeal. Her life flashed before her eyes and for a moment she considered sitting still. Until she heard something come clicking down what she now knew were stairs. Objects clattered down around her at a rapid pace.
The sound made Caitlin jolt, she sat up quickly and slid backwards. My head is killing me. Caitlin thought as she placed her hands on her temples.
As she held her head tightly she used her legs to slowly pull herself together. She could stumble forward for a few minutes before collapsing again: This time when she hit the ground she gave in. Caitlin kept her eyes shut and forced herself to fall asleep.

8 267Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
