Underground, below the lair;
A car sped along in a tunnel which formed magically as its wall in front that blocks its path collapsed inwardly and formed on the ground a path which smoothly connects to the glittering and beautiful path which was also formed in the same manner. And on it the speeding contraption journeys.
The contraption in this manner moving along a path magically creating itself ahead has in it several presence.
And for some reason the incredible beauty of nature unveiling on the wall at the sides of the tunnel as it forms or lengthens; a scene of countless blue glittering crystals dotting the purple stone wall in a pattern very similar to the milky way is being ignored by this group in the car.
Instead they were preoccupied with their conversation.
(Squeak "What about the riot going on on the surface... ")
Raftelia sitting behind in the contraption asked with her head bowed and in a soft voice (Squeak "It was not in the plan") She continued after a pause and as she raised her head to look at the side profile of the enigmatic creature in front of her- Skylar holding lady cat on his lap.
She is really very smart and inquisitive... but must she know everything...
Skylar thought as he instinctively rolled is eyes.
"It was a backup plan i made... It was random and at the same time i expected that if all our plans including this second one fails, i should at least repay her in kind... with the mess going on up there"
Skylar said, replying her in a clear and soft voice as he also pointed his finger up just after his last word.
Well that riot is something i really never expected to succeed in that manner...
He thought after he turned his head to look behind at the little guy who is as quiet as ever.
Raftelia bowed her head slightly and in a very soft voice, she inquired (Squeak "So basically creatures who has the roasted meat recipe are going around hunting other creatures for meat. And at the same time those without recipe but know about the situation are going around killing for the recipe")
(Meow "They are even teaming up") (yawn)
Lady cat added after which she yawned lightly.
Maybe she is worried for some certain creature she is acquainted with up there...(sigh)
Skylar thought as he lowered his head slightly while sighing quietly.
"The riot was definitely going to happen at one point as long as the wolfs don't return but the meat stuff as catalyst just brought it forward..."
He said while raising his head to look straight ahead through the car's screen at the wall of the tunnel that continues to collapse inwardly, forming a path and making way for them as they continue on their journey.
He continued, "...the reason the millions of creature here have never rebelled is because of the wolf's presence in the lair not that they can't and will not. They all individually fear the wolfs and most creature here especially the ones who enjoys the arena had no reason to rebel since they will never think of escaping here, they might even help capture guys like us who wants to escape..."
(Meow "Is that the reason you invited only me into your group, you trusted i won't betray you")
Lady cat wiggling her tail which is pointing in a peculiar direction said as she licked her front paw and after which she raised her head to look Skylar in the eyes with her twinkling eyes.
My mate just say it, i know you also feel the connection between us...
Lady cat thought as she awaited a reply from Skylar who has a certain smile on his face lowered in her direction.
"Not really, i trusted my judgment that tells me you have no reason to betray us"
Skylar replied while raising his head which now have an expressionless face, and looked straight ahead like his reply is not a big deal.
(Meow "You didn't trust my character")
Lady cat with her tail standing taut and the furs on her back turning spiky retorted rather angrily as she narrowed her large slit pupil which focused sharply on Skylar.
"Okay i trusted it" a bit...
He gave her a quick and concise reply and also added in his mind while simultaneously petting her fur gently, from her head to her spine in a bid to calm her.
They have this strange atmosphere around them that will make someone think they have been like this together for a very long time... If only i were not this big...(sigh)
The three and a half meter tall golden rat thought as she watched the scene in front of her while also trying to suppress the expression of jealousy almost taking over her face.
Few minutes after, Skylar made a gesture which the driver mr Rabbit understood as a directive and executed it as he made the car take a sharp turn to the left while the tunnel wall ahead collapsing, also responded in accordance as its action of collapsing and forming a path also took a turn, leading the speeding contraption on its long journey.
(Squeak "Sky how are you certain the serpent is not waiting for us at the other side of the bridge")
Raftelia asked after she suddenly raised her head with her voice crisp and forcefully seizing the others attention.
I have also wanted to ask, and especially how was he able to make that hole through that substance...
Lady cat thought as she angled her head in a direction where she feels more comfortable.
"Well, everything right now is a gamble. And she really might have seen us when we left our room, but i doubt it. Even if she saw us she will have to choose between us and the lair and..."
Skylar responded with one hand rubbing his chin and his eyes looking at the car's screen pensively when he paused.
If she is really waiting ahead, all i have to do is just use that...
He said in his mind after the pause and as he took a look at the very quiet little guy behind him.
(Squeak "Sky, If you could drill a hole that big under the floor of our room why did you not do that before and we can just escape through it. Instead of all the elaborate planning and stuff we did that never really worked")
Raftelia lowering her head asked nervously in a voice which grew softer at the last sentence.
"It was because i had inadequate knowledge which resulted in my hesitation"
Skylar paused and continued "on the day i participated in my first arena battle, i didn't know she was going to change our cell because i displayed the ability to manipulate the earth element which she might have determined to be a cheat and when she put us in that isolation chamber, i thought she did that because she thinks it should be impossible for me to manipulate its walls and floors.."
I don't think he knows he did not just manipulate earth element at that time... he bypassed a rank seven glyph almost...
Lady cat thought as she spied briefly at Skylar's face while he answered the golden rat at the back listening attentively behind.
(Squeak "So that's why you were feeling its wall at that time. You were trying to confirm if there is a possibility you could manipulate it")
Raftelia coming to a realization interrupted Skylar's lengthy narration and concluded.
The serpent might have really not been tricked but lost because of the impossibility that happened in that chamber, and like he said she may really not know about our current situation...
Lady cat thought after also coming to her own realization as she wiggled her tail which changed the direction its pointing.
"Exactly. And at that time it was really very difficult to manipulate the wall at first but after several attempt, making a hole through it wasn't difficult anymore. And it was also at that time i felt maybe the room changing was also a trap she set, you know i was expecting things not to be so easy and smooth like now"
Skylar responded as he pointed a finger in the direction lady cat's tail pointed.
A message to the driver, mr Rabbit, which he understood as he took a turn like normal in that direction.
(Squeak "You still have not answered the question why did you decide to escape through the floor of the chamber now and not before today.")
Lady cat rephrased Raftelia original question.
"Like i said, i thought it was a trap but recently someone told me about the history of the chamber how it was even impossible for gods to dream of escaping it unless they use the front door which is the only way out of the chamber and can only be unlocked somewhere far outside of the chamber"
Skylar replied as he lower his voice which instinctively went up at the start.
(Meow "That's true it was a place of isolation for some special devotees of that ancient religion in ancient times and the door can truly only be opened in the receiving quarters of the overseer monk at that time")
Lady cat with her fluffy tail hitting Skylar's chiseled abs softly and repeatedly added with a softer and drawn out voice.
("Ah its true i remember, the walls and the floors including the doors are made from black gold... Black gold... Black gold... Black... (A loud squeaking scream)")
Raftelia chipped in after which she stammered and screamed with fright. And with her hands she covered her distorted and terrified face after a sudden realization hit her.
At the same time Raftelia repeated her last words before she screamed; the little guy behind, for a split second before it vanished seemed to also scream out and made a funny expression, a very unusual sight to behold.
Are they just realizing the implication of the hole now... Maybe i shouldn't have let them know about it... no, they were going to come to a realization some other time unless i kill them... but i can't and not until i get a proper measure of that vanishing beast... Thinking about it now, i have no reason to panic... He is definitely coming back with me to my tribe...
And Lady cat thought after she carefully examined the expression of everyone including the vanishing beast, the little guy.
