Novel & Cerita Quicksand Lake Cave Shrine

While not exactly fresh it was at least no longer the smell of her own filthy body, the decay beneath her hands and feet and the primordial damp of the rock around her. She shuffled her knees further forward and tried straighten her back. When that worked, she stepped her feet forward and tried a sitting crouch. Hardly daring to hope, she stood up from the crouch, inch by inch, at every moment expecting her head to hit another rock wall. There was darkness, darkness, more darkness … and then light. Not a lot but enough. She pulled herself out of the hole in which she was standing. Light glinted off an underground lake, illuminating an immense cavern, beneath a ceiling thick with stalactites.

Lucifer warned, her right hand tightening into a fist, Rogue nodded unable to make any coherent statements. The crevice of the cave reached its end and from there it spread out, revealing a massive sanctuary that had cobalt blue stones as foothold, loots of treasure sporadically placed in bulks and in the pivot was an alter, the alter was huge and on it was a majestic serpentine.

His dragon's cuts on his healed at a much slower rate than normal cuts for him, if not treated, they could even get infected. His pain became more obvious in his slight struggle to get back on the horse. Kestra lead the way yet again but instead of leading them in search of the cave, she had led them to Lake Safi, a small lake filled with blue glittering water. It was a lake of water, filled with speedy healing qualities. "Neq'tar cannot put the cave this way. We need to turn around." He gritted, the pain finally getting to him. If there was one thing the forest didn't play with, it was the location of this lake.

Companions who had traversed the Underworld together, it was comradeship that had grown from scratch to depending on each other in this unfamiliar world. Over there, the few of them had worked together to build a gravestone for Channing. After that, the group entered Corpse King City. Thanks to the Grand Bodhisattva’s last will projected into Alex’s sea of consciousness, they soon found the location of his treasure. It was an underground shrine, one that was extremely large. When the crowd saw the complete appearance of the shrine, they were all shocked. It surprisingly looked exactly like Shoraionji Temple in its full manifestation.

He led me across the training grounds, down a hidden path, through a dense forest, until we reached an open valley. In the valley was a crystal-clear lake, its surface as calm as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains. "The Sacred Moon Lake," Harris explained. "The most sacred place in the Shadow Pack. Legend says the Moon Goddess herself once descended here." "It's beautiful," I marveled. "It can also reveal truths. Put your hand in the water and think about the question you most need an answer to." I knelt by the lake and dipped my hand into the cool water. I closed my eyes. There was only one question in my mind: Where is the Moonstone?

Erys replied. "Hell is weird," Kira and I said. I leaned over the lake. "You can see your reflection. It's called Crystaline Lake because any type of rock you put in comes out a crystalized mineral in a week. Go ahead, pick a rock, scratch your initial in it, plop it in the lake and we'll come back in a week for the crystals. Don't worry, no one will steal anything. Crime is non-existent here." I waited for everyone to pick a rock and plop it in. "Would you like to see the meadows, forest or mountains next?"

She thought maybe she could be reunited with the two neraidas who had saved her. "I don't know, I think they're hiding!" "Why are they hiding? Shouldn't they know who we are?” Keith reopened the sacred shroud and looked at the position of the shrine where the sacred treasure was stored. “The shrine is in a cave filled with crystal stones located at the bottom of the valley. Therefore, we have to keep walking until we reach the valley and descend down, then we will use the cave where the temple stands!” Keith said. “Alright, then we have to get there before…”

“The same frequency that runs through Ivy’s bond.” Gemma’s voice was steady but low. “If this is connected to her, we have to move fast.” The tunnel curved downwards, leading to a vast cavern glowing with faint blue light. The sight stopped us cold. A shrine. Old, massive, and beautiful in a way that didn’t belong to this world. Columns carved with wolf sigils lined the chamber. In the center stood a broken statue, half woman, half wolf, crowned with thorns of silver. Kara exhaled. “The First Hybrid Queen.”

levels. I didn't go to the training pits. Kaelen’s scent lingered there, and her discipline was too rigid for what I needed. I needed the raw, unpolished edge of the mountain. I descended past the living quarters, past the armory, and down into the Gravelight Caverns. These were the ancient mines where the first Southern tribes had extracted the moonstone, now abandoned and choked with a natural, volatile magmatic dust. The air here was thin and tasted of old copper. I found a ledge that overlooked a subterranean lake of liquid shadow—a mirror of the one I had shattered in the War Room.

Alright now… let’s see what we have here… the dominating geography is flat, there is a hill here and there but the forest sure is a plain… there's a ravine at the northwest and a mountain chain at the northeast all the way to the southeast… a waterfall that comes from the mountain chain and flows all the way to the center of the forest forming a river and a lake…the biggest and highest hill is close to that lake, the side that faces the pond, a cave entrance is in there… I suspect that this so-called “crimson something” hideout is that cave… the ravine is more likely the location of the junk stones I am searching for… Alright… Here is the plan! I’ll send the [Stealth type] of familiars which
