Master Of None

Chapter 1264: 1264. Dangerous Past

Colors covered the walls. There were many fading images that showed pictures of different things. ”These look like crops. I would say they are corn and wheat?” Walker was running a hand along the worn colors finding that they had been absorbed by the walls so they had once been painted on.

”Then what are these?” Su was still ahead looking at some of the other creatures painted on the walls. There were many that didnʼt seem to fit anything that they knew to date. The monsters that the party had seen and studied were all monsters that existed now or recently. But the ones they saw were larger.

”That one has to be a sea monster of some sort. Like a leviathan but bigger and with a lot of spikes.” Gil was referencing what seemed to be murals of water coming together in a massive lake or ocean. The spiked monster was large enough to take up the entire water source and definitely would be able to take on any monster they had seen as of yet.

Even the mother kraken would easily be swallowed by such a creator.

”Wait, doesnʼt this one looks like Scylla in her mastery skill? It seems bigger and…more evil.” There were multiple leviathans attached to it and a very large mouth that had scales leading down it. The monsters that seemed attached to it by tentacles or rope like limbs were those of vicious hounds almost double the size of any that the party had ever seen.

They could have destroyed multiple cities just by walking through them.

”Then these must be…worse.” Onyx looked at the creatures that flew through the skies in one of the murals. They had the similar appearance to dragons but were much larger. They were behemoth monsters that seemed jagged and twisted. The images were rough but some breathed flames that lit the skies in the murals on fire.

”If these were what dragons grew to be after thousands of years I would not argue it. They seem too powerful.”

”Wait, we were wondering why they might be down underground and in the desert. Wouldnʼt this explain it? They are here to hide. If anything was up on the surface they would be trampled by these things. Look at this…Onyx! Look at this!” Walker was stopped mid sentence.

He found a picture that was very faded on the wall. They were all too familiar.

”Brother! Brother! Brother!!!” Onyx was lost for words. He was too excited to see what was all over the walls. The rough and faded murals showed dark scaled serpents that crawled from the earth to sit on top of mountains. They were met by similar sized serpents that flew in the sky with white scales.

”Those have to be abyssal serpents and heavenly serpents! We need people to come and investigate this place. Send a notification to Clara now. We need to make sure that she passes on the information that this place should be connected to the mage tower. And that it is even older.” Restraint was not something that onyx had at that moment. He was too excited.

They had found something that perfectly explained where his species had been and what they had come from. He knew that abyssal serpents were an old monster but he did not know that they were even seen by ancient races. Even more, they were seen right beside the heavenly serpents, which Alice and He were trying to raise together to have the same potential future as him.

”I did. I did. Just look at everything where. We can take our time to explore this. There are a lot more murals it seems.” Walker looked ahead and saw that the large tunnel changed again. It seemed to be blocked by something ahead.

”I think we reached the end of the tunnel. Maybe this is where the travelers were headed.”

Alice brought the light orb attached to the light elemental crustal closer. They found that there were multiple parts of stone fitted together blocking the tunnel. Some cracks had appeared over the years but it had obviously been some form of door. ”More runes.” Alice spotted them and pointed them out to Walker.

”I can already feel them, they are earth elemental runes. I bet that these are here to help the door open. Even years ago they were able to ake things like this. Before they had the same runes at the mage tower!” This was just another discovery. Finding things like this was just too amazing.

”Well, are we opening it?” Remey wanted to keep pushing forward with the journey. They had finally found something amazing. Something that they had not seen before and something that they knew would help the world learn.

”No, wait for Onyx. he needs to get his bearings first.” Walker saw that Onyx was beside himself still. Finally, they were close. The entire group knew how much Onyx had thought about finding others of his species. They knew that it was the same feeling that Midnight had about dragons. It was the same feeling of wanting to be with family.

This didnʼt mean Onyx was against being with the group, just that he had always asked, where are there others just like me? Anyone would wonder the same things.

”We can move on. This is good. We are on the right track. But it might be dangerous. This door hasnʼt been opened for a long time so I want you to be careful and reinforce the tunnel first.” When Onyx recovered, he was clear and prepared. He didnʼt know what would be on the other side of this stone door.

Just that it was old and might not be able to hold itself together when moved. The cracks from aging made this clear already.

”Then I will do my best.” Alice held the light orb and crystal high to help Walker as he began to use his high earth sculpting skill.
