Light crackles outside
Cloak of darkness envelopes
A group surrounds me

Kracka boom!

All three of you stir as a loud thunder booms outside, the sound of rain surrounds you yet muffled yet it sounds large, hollow, like being inside a chamber. Its cold and a bit misty but it staved when all of you three realized that you are stacked on top of each other.

Whats evident as of now is that its raining and it is evening, broken occasionally by the flash of lightning outside. All of you stir up and is now awake.

They are nowhere to be found around in this room. What you see though are a couple of broken chairs and tables, and old worn out painting and the smell of mildew.

>>475935
As you go around, you stumble upon you feel something arong…
One of your wing is dislodge, its not broken but it felt a bit painful.

>>475937
You look outside and amongst the rain and lightning, you see a vast forest ahead of you. Below you to be exacty it looks like you are on a large structure. The wind battered on the closed window and the howling can be heard inside. The area is mountainous but since you peer far, you can see some kind of lake far from here but you are not sure.
There is also something… odd but you cant grasp it yet.

You have fixed it somehow but it still feels a bit cramped.

>>475943
The painting is faded and old, a bit torn on the side, its paint is already melting but your keen eyes somehow see its details even in the dark.
It depicts… some sort of an armored ape smiling, standing next to what seems to be.. a giant pony with small eyes. As you stare at it somehow the two figures seems to be staring at you.

You opened one of the doors and it leads to a cabinet of some sort. Its pretty large but all it contains are tattered clothing and the smell of mildew with an opening or a rectangular hole at the top, its very very dark up there.
The other door leads to a corridor with lined windows and an old carpet in the middle of it. This room where you are now is at the end of the hallway.

You have no idea and it appears Miiba can stand on her own. He even pushed marching dawn away as he stands up over the boxes.

>>475969
How can you forget that voice. Its Miles, though her voice does not come from above it comes from some sort of conical shaped pipe device that is made of brass attached to the wall. Its old and rusting.

The door you checked is locked, you try it with your talons but it wont budge,

There are three door, one door that Gideon checked wont budge while the one you checked leads to another room. Its a bit spacious and has a bed in the middle of it. Lightning flashing from the window reveals that it is perhaps a master bedroom.

>>476563
The history book is a bit faded already and you have a hard time reading it specially with the lighting condition. What you can make out however is a picture of a dark sun with a tree on a barren field. The text say something about this house able to withstand some famine but you blink a moment or two after that. Its just too dark to be reading right now.

No key but this place is a bit.. surreal. Its decayed like the other two rooms you came from but this place has some normalcy in it. A table here, two cabinets, a large mirror and a chest are what populates this room.

After navigating in the dark, the stairs leads to a room in what appears to be commons room the same above. It is barren and there is only one window in here, that gives poor illumination. A fireplace is also present in the same location where the fireplace from above is situated though its unlit. There are more spiders down here, some of them looks like a bit fat now that you think about it.

Something feels… odd though.

Miiba's pulling you down distract the spider so much that it left you dangling high in the air. The cocoon is not wrapped that tightly and a bit of work might be needed to get free, but you still feel woozy.

You are able to stand up, the spider however stop its movement and began to panic.

>>502668
Not that crushed but you are able to disable it, the spider is not able to move and began to squirm inside the bramble, its mouth clamping tin the air trying to desperately get out of it.

:The poison is beginning to seepin and you began to get a bit tired and relaxed. Like sleep is trying to get inside your head but suddenly a….. small bird like thing holding a torch began to burn the webs surrounding lmaking you fall down unto the floor, released from the webbing but tired and helpless.

"Follow me." It said in a monotone voice with its finger pointing to a trap door.

A combined effort I suppose, you three are able to drag Marching dawn inside the trap door and shut the door in.

You then notice that it is a bit small but at the same time it is also some kind of elevating room that leads up and down. The bird owl thing began to pull some lever with great effort, some rust began to creak out of it and the elevating room began to descend.
